PROSPERITY" AND PROHIBITION

Up to the time Of the stock crash last fall there vas one argument by ardent believers in prohibition which the best minds in the wet camp had difficulty in combating. The argument was that since prohi- bition blessed the land there was prosperity, a greater and more diff fuse prosperity than the world had ever seen concentrated in any one country. The banks were full Of money-oWned by the people-the stores were selling goods in large amounts to the wives of men who without prohibition would have per mitted the wicked bartenders to get all the money.
 It was useless for anyone to have claimed that the prosperity was due 10 other causes, or combination Of causes. What the prohibition ardents

THE CRISIS IN WHEAT

The wheat crisis is certain to be a potent influence in politics this fall, and in a section of the coun- try where the administration usually is sorely pressed to keep Republicans in line with the more conservative brand of eastern Republicans.
 President Hoover, having been confronted with "a proposition to virtually order Chairman Alexa nd CT Legge of the Farm Board and Secre- tary of Agriculture Hyde 10 buy 10o,oo0,o00 bushels of wheat through the Grain Stabilization Corporation-the President rightly has concluded that this function is not his.
 The President is placed in a posi- ton where enmity is bound to be aroused. His refusal to take a hand' in the wheat stabilization process will cause grave political conse- quences throughout the great grain

THE NUMBER OF UNEMPLOYED

The other day we ventured the opinion that, taken the country over, the total of unemployed approxi mated five per cent of adults or persons accustomed to work but who now find themselves withou. employment.
 We are aware that our guess has elicited some divergent opinions: The majority Of critics seem to agree that the total Is far higher than five per cent.
 Or course, we do not know exact ly how many persons are affected by the unemployment virus; and neither does anyone else, not even the Government For our country, il may be noted again, is the only civilized nation which has not been keeping an accurate tab on the to- tai of the unemployed until quite,

SPEED BOATS ON LAKES

Reports from all over the state are 10 the effect that there IS consid- erabIe indignation being expressed by dwellers along lake fronts re- garding the multiplication of speed boats on ,hese placid waters.
 The waters Of an inland lake, es- pecially if it is not particularly large lake. no longer remain very placid it is reported, when speed boats make their appearance. What happens is the noise Of the motors, an upheaval in the waters, a men ace 10 canoes and row boats, and ar ever present danger 10 swimmers. Several accidents, some nearly fatal, have been reported.
 Yet there can be no doubt that the manufacture Of motor boats IS on the Ep-and-up. We just got through perusing an advertisement which gave the impression that motor boats were made 10 sell OH the mass production and mass dis tribution plan, and that being the case it IS inevitable that such craft will be increa singly evident upon the lakes, rather than being confined to the rivers and fluctuations from ;he seaboard, as was formerly the case.
 The trouble is not the speed per SC, put the apparently reckless manner in which they are handled. There seems 10 be no particular law 10 prevent the owner of 2 motor boat from criss-crossing around lake at full speed most Of the time, greatly to the indignation of the row boat CTS and the canoeists. Restrictions are needed; and If they do not come then it is inevitable that laws will be passed to bar these craft from small lakes. For after all, the owner Of a motor boat cannot make a nuisance of himself on small body of water. He would not be permitted to make a nuisance of himself any where else, then why on lake?

THE RED MENACE"

A Congressional investigation of Communistic activities is beginning with Representative Hamilton Fish Jr, as chairman. Elihu Root. vitally interested in anything having 10 do with menacing the governme ent, en- listed public interest through a let Ter which stated that there should be Federal police force with pow CTS to detect Communists seeking 10 overthrow the Government. and that Federal under-cover agents are necessary.
 Of hair brained Communists the country has seen some specimens, and it is difficult 10 assume such folly befuddled minds can overthrow any government founded on liberty.
 It would be comparatively easy, seeking 10 overthrow the Govern ment by force; a more difficult un- dortaking would be to prevent Con- munists from seeking change in governmental methods by propa- ganda for that is exactly what ali the other political parties not hap pcning 10 be in power always are doing It would be difficult, for in- stance, 10 find Democrat who is not willing 10 spill some propa- ganda against the Hoover Admins tration.
 When Mir. Whalen was Police Commissioner Of New York he sent some documents to Washington which professed to show illegal Communistic activities; indeed, it was after this that the Congressiona. investigation vas voted. But while Police Commissioner Mir Whalan had considerable of an opportunity to proceed against Communists and, 1t must be confessed, made quite d sorry exhibition.

Tampa Firm May Buy Gulf

Washington, July IS P1For the first time the shipping board is negotiating the gale Of a govern ment-owned steamship line without any competitive bidding.
 Since the board began selling ships built or com mmandeered dur ing the war no established line has been sold except under the clause of the 1920 merchant marine act stipulating that all ships and lines must be disposed of at public or private "competitive" sale.
 Shipping board counsel, however have ruled that under another sec tion of the same act a lipe may be sold to the operator without adver- tisement or competitive bidding.

CONNECTICuT'S INCOME FOR FISCAL YEAR

AS a tax gatherer Connecticut there she stands.
 It's s3S,141,9q6 business the state IS conducting, and business has increased rather than decreased. IL seems that there is only one place where Hoover prosperity is really operative. and that is in the business conducted by the state through its tax agencies.
 But the state according 10 the official report just issued, is not yet technically out of debt though the sinking fund i. nearing the mark where that will be fact rather than a mere political claim.
 The funded debt of the state, so the states own report shows, k sI6.291.1O0, which Will be due in 1885. Of this amount there is sl4- 965,409.36 in the sinking fund, s7O6,360.52 having been added 70 the amount during the present fiscal year). During the next five years there is only SI325~9o.64 10 place III the sinking fund 70 have the 16 million ready at the year Of ma turity. Until that time the state will not be technically out Of debt al though there is no question that the sinking fund will easily balance the debt when the time rolls around to pay it off.
 How the state acquires it's income is an interesting exercise in arithme- tic. Motor vehicle fees continue to bring in the largest single sum, namely sS,oQS.2TS.53. The receipts from the gasoline tax are approxi- mstely only half that much, name ly. s4543.35446.
 There Ulll be another attempt made to increase the gasoline tax al the next session of the Legislature, 1t is said. Why this should be neces- sary unless 1t is deemed essential to increase the income needed for the construction of more highways is difficult to understand, There are some advocates Of more gasoline taxes, Of course, who say the income from gasoline sales should be closer to the total Of motor vehicle fees, and that such result would insure more money for the construction ot improved highways. Others say the state should make a more consistent effort to reduce the costs ot highway construction-which are the highest in New England-so that the money would go further These matters probably will find a spirited discus sion at the next session Of the Legis- lature.
 That the state has been pursuing conservative policy in road con- struction is evident from the fact that cash on hand amounts to sS,- 6O4,32693, which is two and three quarter millions more than the bal ance on hand at the end Of the fiscal year In 1929. Many will immedia e. ly point out that this cash balarce must mean that many roads that could have been improved were left tn. way they are; that the state is not g business institution seeking profits, and that such a large cash balance is not necessary. But if the state Is to be conducted on business principles" it may be we'll enough 10 lave an eye toward a reserve fund such as this, provided it is not al- lowed to grow too large.

Paris, July 15.-The Cafe du Dome, on the convenient corner where Boulevard Raspail crosses Montparnasse, remains the stage for that curious assortment of oddly dressed freaks spawned out of the Latin Quarter attics. The unwashei the shoeless and hatlcss, the dream CTS and cadgers are all there.
 The entcrprising John Ringlins never provided a free side show comparable 10 this enc. The man. nishly dressed woman. the effem- mate flop, the lavender -shirted Ar genuine gigolo, the Cocotte and the brothel runner mill about in a hu- man crazy-quilt of eccentricity an1 perversion.
 Just as Greenwich Village has passed as an artistic sanctuary, so is the Latin Quarter being engulfed by hckum. The struggling artist with real ambitions has almost Vanished l and left the field 10 the petty raCketeers who grow whiskers and long hair, sprout flowing ties and trim the tourists.

Then they begin to inspect their etchinss a. arms length. A confederate strolls up and admires them tre- mendously. They exchange a few technical art terms.
 The work is passed 10 the victims for inspection. The aura Of poverty incites a sale for usually 60 francs, The victims will never know that the etchings are printed from a steel engraving plate and are purchasable along the quay for francs. The artist never made an etching in h.s unromantic life.
 Ladies suffering from the D. '. complex, the Latin Quarter euphem- ism for Departed Youth, are invari- ably gullible to such transactions.

A group ofstudents at another table amused themselves by trying to pitch peanut shells into the open nav. Most of them missed to lodge and cling in his beard giving it the ap- pearance of something by Mattsse, and Montparnasse exploded with laughter. Indeed I got the best chuckle since a French woodtick took on Bill for a close pal in the Fontainebleau woods the other day.
