ASSESSING PROPERTY

The need for more careful as sessment of property is a sermon that comes to mind after reading of the purchase of The Beeches'' by the Coolidges at Northampton. Tine house, we read, was assessed at oS,000, which under the system employed, gave it an indicated value" of s4o,000. But it was re- ported that the property had been on the market for S60,000, from which it is assumed that the Cool idges paid between sA0,000 and sG0,0oo.
 It is held by many tax experts that market value should he taken into consid eration in assessing property; and if this were done in Northamp- ton the new Coolidge home. like many another would be assessed higher.
 Meanwhile in Northampton, a: elsewhere, horde Of small homes, more standardized in appearance and easy 10 assess according to the prevailing formula. are assessed al relatively high2r figures than the large estates.

In February there were at least 3,700,o00 men unemployed in the United States. They were unpro- ductive, and that means they did not add to the wealth of the nation which is divided among everybody in the long run.
 When mass production depends upon mass consumption, the elimin- ation of what 3,7O0,O00 wage earners can consume or buy is a grave men, ace.
 That the times are out of kilter can perhaps be most easily under stood by emphasizing that the goods we can manufacture are desired by everyone, and that they would be eagerly purchased by everyone did everyone's buying power permit.
 The Senate committee desires to discover facts. It will find them in plenty. But what it can do about the situation is another thing. Wiser economists than those in the Sen- ate have failed to solve this under- lying threat to prosperity that should be shared by everyone. in stead of only by a part of the peo- pie.

CE\NOEING THE MOVIES

IL appears that before a Holly wood film is thrown upon the mcrcics of the nations box offices committees from a dozen or more organizations pass on the film They make suggestions as to what 10 eliminate. These organizations be- lieve they are the moral uplifters of the nation and permit no opportu- nifty to pass to indicate what the people should be permitted to see and hear.
 The various committees do not agree on every point 10 be eliminat- ed. and that gives the Hollywood barons much worry. But one thing is certain: When the prc-yiew cen- soring on q picture is finished the resulting ''fimm' is guaranteed no, to iniure the most fastidous moral taste.
 That probably explains Ae prova- lence Of so many neutIal films, con. coctions ot story and action that merely provide what is popnlarIy known IS "cntcrtanmcnt," with a minimum of thought and originality.

THE MACHINE AGE, AND EMPLOYMENT

When William Green, president Of the American Federation of Labor, testifying before a Senate commit tee Investigating the unemployment situation, stressed the historical eff feet that unemployment has dated from the beginning Of the factory system, and not before. he stmulat- ed thought.
 Before James Watt invented the steam engine mankind in civilized land. suffered from scourges, famines and kindred evils.
 The lot of mankind, even in the most civilized lands, has never re- motely approached the millennium but there can be no question that when James Watt harnessed steam 10 the productive capacities of man a train of evils hitherto unknown were hinged 10 the budding factory system which rapidly developed.
 In England the system permitted the exploitation of men, women and children to hitherto unknown cx- tent, and the nation rapidly chang d from agriculture and handicraft and commerce to one of industrial power
 The invention Of the steam encina was not to blame, but mans incapaci- ty to forcsec its economic posslbij- ties. Today, when the old conditions of economic exploitation have been largely obliterated-although not as much as is slibly claimed--there re- mains an unstabilized society in ali industrial nations.
 Every country where machines serve man the problem of the un- employed exists in an all-too bounti- full measure One cannot help con cluding that there is something dis organizing to society in system which produces more goods than can be consumed which means more goods than can be purchased.
 It is being learned most effective ly that machines do not consume goods. Of what value is a machine which can do the work of six men if part Of the five it displaces are per petually unemployed and cannot buy the goods made by the machine
 That is the foundation problem that faces the nations Mr. Green, citing statistics that arc available to everyone with an inquirng mind, showed that even during the recent period Of boom prosperity there were a omfortable total of uncm- ployed in the country; and that in other industrial nations also inc spectre Of the uncm rloycd is con- stant

Of course, there are exceptions, and these usually are the big successes in the film world.
 Pictures are made "to appeal to all classes, types and ages of the population" Unlike the legitimate stage, there are no film theaters ap. pealing to different types in the communities; children and grown ups of all degrees of intelligence are supposed to obtain their film drama at the same places. This desire to appeal to everybody" naturally re- suits in a standardized product loaded with the repetitive cliches and banalities. Famous stories when screened, too often are changed to conform to this standardizat tion; even their titles are changed.
 In spite of this manifest desire to coalesce varying tastes into one crucible some artistic results, both dramatic and pictorially. are achieved, which withal is to the credit of the Hollywood industry when the handicaps of its methods is realized.
 The Will Hays organization is going too far in trying to meet the prejudices of the self-appointed re- forming groups. We are rapidly de- veloping into the most censored and reformed nation on earth; busy. bodies all around us are trying to tell us what we can eat, drink, read and see.
 No attempt is ever made to re- form the reformers. That, we sug- gest, would be something for the Will Hays organizatio to attempt. It being a trust of moving picture moguls, it ought 10 be powerful enough to tell the reformers to jump into a nearby lake occasionally. Until that time arrives more British and Continental uncensored films might be needed in the country.

\ TALE OF TWO DRIVES

If the modification or repeal drive of the vets is alarming the drys, the vets have reason to be alarmed at the increased enforcement tactics brought to bear by federal agents.
 Padlocking of important places in New York, the raiding Of hotels, the padlocking of important places in Boston-these indicate renewed activity of prohibition enforcement. The vets should not pretend tha. they like it.
 But the worst mess of all are the charges of police grating in Bosto The magazine writer who several months ago wrote up' Boston and was called to the Hub to explain, seems 10 have hit the nail on the head when he declared the evi- dence, if he were really expected to give it, would shock the city and in- criminate prominent politicians. They left him depart without tell ing what lie knew.
 Since then, however, few acci- dents occurred and the glare of pub licity has done the rest.

Wild Motorist Caught
 After DOdging Bullets

Brockton, Mass. April (uP)- A policeman, standing on the rum ming board of commandeered ma chine, fired four shots during half mile chase here early today before capturing Everett Lawson, 24, of this city.
 The scene of the chase was on Main street in the Campello section. Lawson, who narrowly escaped death or serious injury from bullet, fired by Policeman Thar Thompson, was arrested on charges of drunk enness. drunken driving, failing to stop at an officers command. and operating without a license.

COMMUNICATED
Thanking the Connecticut State
 Board of Education

Editor Herald:
 I wish to thank the Connecticut State Board of Education for open ing these evening schools so the people who come from the foreign lands could learn to read, write and speak good English.
 AS I feel about it, I think that everyone else that comes to evening school feels the same. In our coun- try everybody didn't have a chance to educate themselves but in this free country we have every oppor- tunity to educate ourselves that we want.
 l am glad that you make us feel that we really belong to this coun- try and have a part in it's activities. I am glad, also, that you give us a fair chance to become citizens of the United States of America. I would like to say that 1 have enjoyed this school term very much and I will be happy when it begins again.
 I would like to give word of thanks to the teachers for helping me learn to know the English lan- guage much better.

it used to be. Politics may not have changed as rapidly as the attitude of the public toward politics, but it will have to keep step to at least a certain extent.
 There are certain issues of the present and the future needing elucidating.
 MT. McDonough came forward with an important issue-the city water system. There are other im- portant issues-the sewer disposal system, improvements generally, parks, playgrounds, schools. What are the attitudes of the candidates regarding all such questions? A few hundred words applied to each would help.
 Obviously, some of these issues involve the spending of money. There are host of intelligent voters in the city, however and they know from experience that the city is go- ing to get nothing worth while with out the expenditure of money That in turn leads to a consideration of the tax rate, which has occupied the candidates considerably but without definite conclusions as to what will happen 10 it. One good guess is that in view of the still widespread needs of the city mo- body. no candidate, will be able in any way whatever to reduce the tax rate materially. It certainly cannot be done by hanging Ito rent signs on the city hall.

INTERN ATIONAL PETTTOGGING
