100 PER CENT INCREASE

The New Haven railroad has not
been paying dividends for about 4
dozen years. But that is not saying
the holders OF the railroad stock are
not making money-provided they
bought them at the proper time.
A probate court transaction in the
city of New Haven brought to light
that one Philip Silverthau of that
city at the time OF his death owned
sos shares of New Haven stock. Sill
verthau died three years ago, and
when the estate was inventoried the
stock was listed as worth $2O,553; to-
day the stock is worth s43, 524. A man
can make money for his estate even
after he is dead.
The same held good for several
other blocks of stock held by the
deceased. His 1000 shares of United
Illuminating stock was inventoried
at his death at s3S,4OO; today it is
worth SS4,50O. His 2GS shares of
Waterbury Gas company stock was
valued at $S,595.5O; today it is worth
S5,S12. The value of the three
blocks of stock increased 100 per
cent in three years.
But if Silverthau had purchased
that New Haven stock back in the
halycon days when it was among
the railroad top-notchers there
would have been different story.
A large number of folks in New Eng
land did SO and these have not yet
seen financial daylight.
An increase of 100 per cent in
three years, however, is pretty soft
for the estate holding the Silverthau
stock. Nothing to do but collect the
money, if it is so inclined.

Is Years Ago Today

a special TO the Herald states that
the constitutional convention voted
this afternoon TO increase the MEM
bcrship of the senate to 60.
The statement of Mayor Bassctt
that he would like to have an ceti-
mate of the deficiency in each Do
partmont made has caused CON
siderable comment but the mayor
says he intends to call special
meeting to appropriate cash on hand
to meet these deficiencies. The
street department is receiving most
of the criticism. the appropriation of
$14.500 having been completely eX-
pended without any new macadam
being laid. The expenses OF the city
have been heavy Of latet because of
the smallpox cases. the big snow
storm, and the new caucus law, but
Mayor Bassett says that the finances
have never been in better shape and
there is no cause for alarm.

INCONSISTENT
MIR, BJODGETT

The fate of the small town in Con-
necticut is shocking to contemplate
if the fears expressed by Tax Com
missioner William H. Blodgett are
based upon a true diagnosis Of their
present and prospective status. 1t is
true the tax commissioner does not
think the situation is at its worst
Just now, but he feels compelled to
think it will drift steadily to the
point whore the Legislature will have
to step in and take charge Of the
towns.
Home rule for communities
doesn't seem to bother the tax COM
missioner in the slightest. He has
his eyes on the tax money and be-
cause many tax collectors in the
small communities are LAX" or too
"kind-hearted" he sees an argument
why the state should step in and get
the money along more efficient lines.
1t is not too much to say that
this Is nine-tenths of the reason why
the tax commissioner thinks the
small towns are going to the dogs.
The beneficient state government !.
Hartford isn't getting all that It
thinks it ought to get, and the tax
commissioner wont be in the back
ground il and when the Legislature

machine calculated to wade through
soft marshes and create mosquito
mortality: and also the planting of
fish that eat mosquitoes during the
generating stage-all this was big
news in Jersey, the kind they are
eager to put on the wires.
Other more fortunate states deep
ly sympathize with these herculean
efforts to exterminate the Jersey
skin-borers. 1t is no time to laugh,
either, as Connecticut might take a
leaf from the determined efforts Of
a sister state and also do something
to eradicate its share of the pest.
If New Jersey continues in its en-
deavors the time may come when 1t
will be entirely free from the winged
animal which formerly regarded it
as natural habitat, while such
states as Connecticut will still be
feeling the drill OF tiny probers and
be wondering why it is that nobody
takes the trouble to adopt the Jer-
sey plan of relentless warfare against
the common pest.
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1927-02-25

begins to rob them Of whatever re-
manning vestige OF home rule there is
remaining.
T, In the same Adde'S the tax COM
missioner reversed his opinion when
contemplating the federal inherit
ance tax law. which practically
forces states TO levy an inheritance
tax by collecting one itself, dividing
it on percentage basis. 1t
will be remembered that Florida,
which has no state inheritance tax,
lost its battle before the L. S. Su-
preme Court to upset the law. Con-
necticut officials gave Florida moral
support, and shared in the smashing
defeat.
The Connecticut tax commissioner,
as quoted by the Associated Press,
said he would never stand for any
dictation, not even from Washington,
D. c., as to how Connecticut should
levy her internal taxes"
If that is the tax commissioners
idea of loyalty to the federal govern
ment. then why is it he thinks the
small towns of Connecticut should be
interfered with by the state govern
ment as to how they levy their
taxes?
There is no difference. Congress
passed the inheritance tax law SO as
to regulate the collection of such
taxes in the various states. Blodgett
is opposed to the law and would
never stand for any dictation." But
he strongly favors state dictation in
how the small towns collect their
taxes. The principle is the same.
Connecticut compared with the fed
eral government is relatively just as
small as some of the small towns in
the state compared with the state
government.

COMMUNICATED
Can the City License Electricians?

Editor Herald: -
Electrical licenses have been given,
revoked and what have you. Exam
nations, investigations and hear
ings have all taken place. Now
what l want to know is has the city
government the legal right to grant
licenses to electricians, plumbers or
any other tradesmen without the
passing of an enabling right by the
state legislature?
Ii this is true it seems that a great
deal of fuss has been made about
nothing.
My basis in asking these questions
is based on articles contained in re-
cent issues of trade papers, "Electri-
cal Merchandising" January issue;
electrical Record" October issue.
To the investigating committee the
general public and the electrical
public owe their sincere thanks as
they investigated in thorough, in
tclligcnt way.
As constructive criticism regarding
examinations let a mans character,
experience and ability count for at
least as much as his ability to an
sWer riddles.
IN closing let me call attention to
the fact that to the applicant who is
or feels that he is unfairly examined
has a great grievance for it is more
dishonest to steal a mans ability to
earn his living than even his money,

THE STANLEY SCHOLARSHIP

Establishment of the Kate A.
Stanley musical scholarship fund in
New Britain, and the plans announc-
cd yesterday relative to the COM
petitive contests in May, cannot be
considered otherwise than as
unique contribution to the esthetic
experiences of the city. Miss Stanley,
a sincere patron of the arts and hav-
ing the urge within her to advance
artistic ideals in her native city, has
taken this means OF stimulating the
ambition in youth,
The executive committee in
charge has made an agreeable start
in administering the scholarship
fund. placing the matter upon q re-
markedly high plane, eliminating in
the expressed desire to interest the
famed Frank Damrosch himself in

Some young man or young woman
is to benefit by the scholarship, and
all those with aspiration and am
bition will advance themselves by
entering the list of contestants. No
one participating in such an affair
really can fail, as the stimulation
Of aroused ambition, and the ex-
perience gained will be its own re-.

A. Dry cells when discharged
continuously and not allowed any
period for recuperation consume the
energy of the cell in a relatively
short time. This procedure does
not allow for any shelf deterioration
in the cells and Is not representative
Of actual service conditions except
in rare instances. Intermittent tests
more nearly approximate the con-
dition of use of dry cells and con-
slider the shelf deterioration which
takes place, and it depends some

the size of cell whether or not the
continuous test shows an increased
performance over the intermittent.

TO SIGN OR NOT TO SIGN

The McNary-H augen farm bill ad-
herents are peculiar. To the charge
that the government should not go
into any kind of business, should not
attempt to stabilize prices, or be
bothered with the troubles of any
one section of the country they re.
tort that it has already been doing
this quite actively. citing "numer-
Gus instances" including the practi-
cal effects of the tariff law. With
such recalcitrants abroad in the
land nothing but political contention
can be looked for.
II the President doesn't veto the
farm relief bill within ten days after
1t was passed it becomes law. He
signed the radio bill shortly after it
was passed. The delay on the farm
relief signature means the President
is in deep thought: or perhaps it
means he doesn't know just what to
do about it and is inclined to wash
his hands of the whole matter by
letting the bill become law auto
matically. In reality, however, that
will not be like signing it, as veto
would have stayed action until the
next Congress meets.
It's tough situation to be in, and
the President will get the sympathy

selves in tight situation requiring
