g. :‘The‘remarkable growth or many
‘ g the smaller Western cities in the
first few years can be traced to the
'gevelopmcnt of bus lines, in the
-‘ opinion of traffic and city planning
,experts.
. . That Norwalk needs bus lines link-
_lng it with nearby cities and towns
is an admitted fact, as is also the
conclusion that such bus lines would
. stimulate to a great extent its
growth and the business of its mer-
. chants upon which is based the eco-
' . nomlc health of the community.
‘ Only the apparent stubbornness oi
the Connecticut Co. which largely
.l’éontrols traffic franchises in this
"state, is depriving Norwaik at bus
“Service.
How long this condition will last
cannot be guessed. When Norwalk's
citizens and merchants lose their pa-
tience and raise a sufficiently loud
howl, perhaps then the Connecticut
4 ' Co. will take cognizance oi repeated
pleas for bus service.
‘ Independent companies with pro-
Der local support would be glad to
establish regular lines. connecting
Norwalk with Westport, Saugatuck,
Dar-ion. Stamford. New Canaan and
Bridgeport.
Bus service. a. stepping stone to
growth, will not be delayed much
longer by even a self-satisfied public
service corporation.

Politics
37 GEORGE '1‘. HUGHES.
(Copyright. 1925.)
A common mistake ot’ investors is
to over-estimate the importance 0!
politics as an influence upon business
and 'updn securities. Temporarllm
political changes do affect market
prices. Rarely do .they change in-
vestment values. Such an illustra-
tion of this proposition is the his.
tory of the public utilities during the»
past five years.
As Samuel Insull. one of the boot
known public utility operators in
American ,pointcd out the other day.
in 1920 no one wanted utility stocks
bonds. The feeling then was that
publicregulation o! the utilities had
gone so far as to endanger the tutors
of the industry. The high costs at
doing business'aloo' blade investors
hesitate. but their goblet .concern was
over the political situation.
. Today all this is changed It is
go orally admitted that eacept for
th tractions there' is no more at-
tractive field for investment outside
or Government obligations than that
altered by the utilities. Public regu-
lation is still in effect and here and
there politicians are still hostile,‘ but
they are in a decided minority. The!
come to see that these essential ens
terprises must be allowed to earn a
returnsufrlcient to attract new capi-
tal and the political _:tactor is no
longer the dominant one.
Economic laws are stronger than
the whole tribe of politicians. Take
the case oi the apparentvexception.‘
that at the traction» It is not the
attitude or legislatures or" common
councils or mayors’tllet lies brought
the traction: to thou-present lower.
tote. . The cause is more, undernea-
tal, more deep-seated, than anythlnx'
political. It is titer-evolution in ma.
tive pov‘vor. which is etgth'e root at
the trouble. 7 Many. peopleiyrbo used,

'haps his dream or a home was.
Without doubt, today, the modern-
ist would mutter somethins, about
"bourgeois." but in those times 1‘
diner-eat standard at elegance and
culture prevailed. ,
We must remember. that from

mond had risen to be a; _ financial
giant of national repute. Hie'busi—
nose acumen had carried him up in
the world. and his linger was in
many money-making: pies. Lock-
wood and Co. engineered railroad
deals. He raised astounding sums
or money for those days. He was
part owner or the Nor-wall: Horse
Tramway. which ran along West
avenue. a forerunner of the present
Connecticut Co. line. He had money
in the Not-walk Mills at Winnipauk.
He was interested financially in the
’Danbury railroad. He manlsed hun-
dreds of transactions in local real
estate. He hadwealth. power and
"turned to money" as the phrase is.
Let us not blame LeGrand Lock-
wood it his dreams prompted him to
the erection ot a. building which to-
day would perhaps be termed a dis-
play ot wealth. Let us rather see
the man as he was. Unassuming or

“There‘s nouse saying anything.

She slumped down in a. chair and

was to do as he wanted. and then
