GOVEJINMEXT "ECONOMY."
Although the administration has
made considerable of a fuss over thu
economies In governmental business,
It remained for Representative
Bynea of Tennessee to throw a
doubt In the minds of many eco
nomical beholders.
Instead of tho costs of running
the government being less, it ap
pears tbey have Increased. Thero
may bo some good reasons for tho
showing, but In view of the figures
one would think" there would be a
cessation of the talk about econo
my. According to the Tennesseean's
figures, there has been a steady in
crease during the last three years,
thla year's figures being computed
exclusive of the postal deficit.
' In view of the fact that on the
same day Representative Madden,
Republican, of Illinois, chairman of
the appropriations committee,' de
clared "wasteful expenditures" have
been made by those administering
the army and navy, some degree of
confirmation was obtained.
And on the same day the ma
jority report of the special Senate
comitteo investigating the internal
revenue bureau reported that mo'u
than $10f,00,nu were deducted for
war amortizations, this plum going
io a score of concerns.
H Is reported bat President
t'oolldge, keenly feels, the criticisms
nguinst thu administration mado in
t'ongress, and has told newspaper
correspondents that congressional
oratory is largely composed of poli
tics. This was not a very good state
ment to make. There arc many
thoughtful citizens who will con
elude that, much of the economy
talk has been largely made for po
li'ical effect.
M DONALD 'S HARD M'C'K
When Miss Clarissa A. Horton of
Windsor Locks won her suit for
S'.'6,000 against John A. MacDonnld,
highway commissioner, because a
slate highway through that town
was unprotected and caused on au
tomobile in which she was riding to
fall 40 feet, attention of the state
was forcefully railed to the mani
fold efforts mado along the high
nays to prevent just such accidents,
perhaps the weak spot in the state
highway system in Windsor Locks
was only one of half a dozen such
places existing lon lh state's
roads: and of course, as fate would

KLISTTS BICitiEST VICTORIES
In enumerating some of the not
abte Republican victories for which
the late George W. Klctt was credit
ed with, a political writer in tho
Bridgeport Telegram refers to the
fact that In 1922, when most of tho
cities of the state Including
Bridgeportwent for Fitzgerald, tho
nemocrntle candidate for governor,
Judge Klett of New Britain sent In
a Republican majority of 1,500. And
when the eight Republican sheriffs
were elected In all eight counties,
New Britain saved the day for Ed
ward W. Dewey of Hartford by
rolling up a majority of 1,420 for
him, nfter Hartford piled up 4.400
for Gabb. These were accounted
among Klett's most notable vie
torles.
But in local city contests. the
political writer adds. Klett was not
so successful as everyone living
here knows which the political
writer ascribes to a factional dif
ference within tho party. It would
appear that the factional difference
had little effect upon the city's act.

NFW POWER riMWECT
Six electric concerns in Connec
ting would form a G,000,000
power project at Windsor Locks
and promiso to build a plant cost

proves the combination.
Naturally there, are some objec
tions, and the financial plan Is es
pecially attacked. Samuel Fergu
son, president of the Hartford
Kleclric Light company, told the
commission that, the financing plan
Is one of those which lately have
become the subject of much criti
cism. The lawyers for the mergeri
tis firms, however, protest that the
financing plan W above reproach.
It will be for tho P. V. C. to de
cide who Is right.
The charge that there is con
t.wni.i of n. sneculalive nature
in mergers, such as have tilled the
financial sections of the newspa
pers lately, will have to bo dis
proved if the. public is to have 100

such a thing as marriage. And
tonight, as they sat silently side by
