BRAZIL AND HER REVOLT

The statement has been heard that if Brazil had larger army she would be able to put down the revolution within her gates.
 That Is supposed to sound impress sive; but it loses some of its im- pressiveness when analysed.
 There are too many ex-presidents, governors, senators and state off cials mixed in the Brazilian revolu- ton to buttress such an argument. Brazil had what might be termed an army, but most of it seems to be on the side of the revolutlorls,s.
 The other day six army planes" leSt to do battle to the wicked revo- lutionists and by the time they got to the front" they started fighting with the revolters.
 Commanders of war boats have played the same stunt.
 It is lucky Brazil didn't have a bigger army and navy. If she had possessed them the revolution would have been over-with complete vic tory-shortly after 1t started.
 AS happened in Argentina: and as has happened in other places ere this.
 No revolution Is as successful as when it has the army and navy with it. And down in South America any thing is likely to happen.

THE S15O,0OO LOAN

AS 1t is now pretty generally un- derstood. Mayor ouigley's special s15o,ooO loan. to be utilized for un- employment relief through the street department and the public welfare department, will be spread as a general tax over a period of five years.
 This will bring s1oo,ooo to the street department and s5o,Ooo to the public welfare department.
 That is satisfactory method of meeting with whatever emergency develops. The floatation of this loan and its special tax is a realization that the earlier system of two-per- centing various individuals could not be depended upon to yield the neces- sary money.
 No intelligent criticism will be forthcoming over the special five year tax and loan. The only point of criticism is that the plan wasn't started sooner.

BERLIN'S RIOT

Rioters who caused the riots Tn front of the Reichstas in Berlin numbered only 800; yet news of the disturbance travelled throughout the world and perhaps gave some the impression that another revolution was being started.
 The main point about the riot, however, is that the police managed to clear the streets after the 800 Communists and Fascists had emptied their pistols in the air. And it must not be overlooked that sev- eral thousands of other citizens ably aided the police.
 It may not be difficult for 300 people bent on trouble-making to start trouble; but what is most i'm : portant is who finishes it.
 In the Reichstag itself the cleav- age between the Communists and Fascists immediately presented it. self. There is little likelihood of the two working together for any length of time or for any definite object.

WE CLARITY ZONING

A movement Is afoot-once again ito clarify the zoning law in New Britain. To the best of our knowl- edge. this has occurred several times.
 No progress of much moment is likely to come. There will always be twilight zone In the zoning regula- tions-referring to the districts be- tween residences and business. The latter-so long as the city grows or changes it's spots mercially-will continue to demand a larger slice of the residence portions. Something has to give way, and thus we see the twilight zone changed now and then This is about all that can happen.
 On the whole, the zoning regula- tions have worked "as well IS could be expectedss' No zonins law can exist without little contention What happened before the zonlng law existed was far worse.

ARIZONA, AND CONNECTICUT

The U. S. Government is some- what in the position of Massachu- sets in connection with the Hoover Dam, formerly the Boulder Dam. Arizona is allowed to bring suit to test the constitutionality Of the pro- cedure, but meanwhile the United States will begin construction work. That is exactly what Massachusetts has been doing while Connecticut questioned the legality of the Swift Ware river project.
 And while the laws delays are un- der way in both cases. both jobs may be finally completed.
 Arizona, however, will be in a better position than Connecticut in the case of victory. In connection with Arizona's suit is a demand for a larger share of the hydro-electric power and water from the dam, and in case she ultimately wins in court she can obtain a larger share should the dam be built by that time. Con- necticut can look forward to no such consummation. The tunnels will be in Massachusetts and the water will be seeping toward metropolitan Bos- ton. Or perhaps the attorney gener- ars office, in the event Of victory after the Swift Ware project is com- pleted, will be able to sweep the waters up hill.

fewer men. Of course, if freight trains grew no longer no fewer men would be needed. But the appliance it is frankly admitted. will permit longer trains without fear of the fellows in the caboose being so far removed from the engineer as to make them feel they are in another county.
 The tendency has been toward longer freights on virtually every railroad. Where in the old days locomotives could manage 40 or 50 loaded freight cars at best, the mod ern monsters can pull 100; and in order to facilitate such long trains the heaviest of rails have been laid. An instance of that is right along tho Waterbury branch running through the city.
 All things considered, it takes no larger crew to handle a train of 100 cars than one of 50; and with radio sets on board it may take even less

 We dislike to refer to welfare work as doles: but in essence there is little difference.

THE PROFESSOR STILL BEING EDUCATED

Professor Levitt's terrible time in Bedding can easily be understood. He "bucked" the regular organiza- tion and was manhandled as dis tressingly as possible. Consequently he has thrown his hands up in dis gust and Is going to run for the Legislature as an Independent Re- publican-which means as an Inde- pendent.
 Why is the professor beating around the bush i'll this manner? His plain duty is to come out In straightforward manner as a sup porter of Dean Cross, nominee for Governor on the Democratic ticket.
 His ideals and those of Dean Cross coincide except as regards Prohibition; and as the Republicans at least claim that MT. Rogers also is going to abide by what Is claim ed to be a modifcationist platform, he never really had any reason 10 choose the Republican side of the political fence.

BOND ISSUES AND THE GRAND LIST

'' Mayor Qulgley realized as far back as last May-probably years , .prevtously-that there was differ : encs between issuing bonds upon assessed property in the city and upon the total of the entire grand list.
 When Boston lawyers recently re- fused to pass bonds issued upon the total grand list he probably was not surprised. The only reason he did not object to the plan in the first place, 1t seems was that technical reason existed for attempting 1t. ', In his message to the Common Council of last May 22. the Mayor , caused to be written these words:
 Our grand list for purposes of bond issue is s134,451,5S5, but our grand list for the purposes of taxa tion is $117,193,175, the difference being caused by s1s.47s,sso of exempt property such as schools. churches. charitable institutions and public property.
 T think that it is very poor a. financial policy for city to issue bonds upon a grand list inflated by non-taxable property.
 Did we only issue bonds upon the taxable grand list. which I think .would be a sound financial policy, we would be within small amount of our allowable bonded indebted ness.
 T don't believe municipal govern ments should be allowed to include non-taxable property in a grand list for bond issue purposes unless 1t be park lands, or similar property, owned by the municipal govern -ment."
 The Mayors ideas were sound on - this subject. The Boston lawyers at least brought the city to | realiza- ton that things had to be done on a strictly businesslike basis. z The surprising point is, however, that the Mayor allowed the attempt in view of his previously strongly ex- pressed opinion that it was "a very . poor financial policy"

Tin horn sports indulge one night fling on Broadway and talk about it for days. The whale keeps his mouth shut, but little fish do not.

A TELLING GRAPH

The Moderation League, Inc, of New York has made telling use of the Literary Digest poll on prohibit tion by issuing 1t in the form of graphs, comparing the results of the 1922 poll and that of 1880. In this way the progress of anti-prohibition sentiment throughout the states Is given lat glance" being so easily comprehended that even dry organi- zation leaders can comprehend it forthwith.
 Here the deadly parallel shows that every state in the Union regis tered increased opposition to the noble 18th since 1922; and in the case of combination of repealers and modificationists. only 14 states showed approximately no change. The latter were Arizona, Virginia, Utah, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Iowa, Alabama, Mississippi,> Tennessee, North Carolina, Okla homa. Arkansas and Kansas.
 These states may be considered as the dry oulwarks of the Nation, al- though it must be remembered that even in these there has been a startling conversion of former modificationists to out-and-out re- pealers since 1922.
 In every state the repeal vote has substantially doubled. Taking the United States as whole, the re- peal vote increased from 2o.3 per cent in 1922 to 4O.5 per cent in 1880. In other words, one-fifth of the vot- CTS in the entire United States have gone over to repeal during the last eight years.
 Prohibitionists decreased from 3s.2 per cent in 1922 to S04 per cent in 1880; and modificationists decreased from 40.5 per cent to 29.1 per cent.
 These figures would indicate that the entire United States is more than 2 to 1 against the present law; in other words, that repeal and modifi- cations number ese per cent. while prohibitionists number only 30.4 per cent.
 If reduction for the prohibition ists from 392 per cent to 3o.4 per cent required eight years, how long will it take prohibition, at the same rate, to reach zero?
 The question is academic, but if you are interested the reduction was II per cent a year: and as there re- mains 30.4 per cent of prohibition ism to eradicate, it will take 27.64 years.
 But in practical performance 1t probably will take much less than that.

ideals of government coincided more closely with those of the Demo- cratic party than those of the Re publican party. During the past year he has tried to crawl into the Re- publican party and run for otflce on its ticket; with the result that he found the mot wanted" sign up on the door. His attempt to bore from within" was equally unsuccessful. His attempt to get elected as an in- dependent is toredoomed to failure. He should have the courage of his convictions and come out flatfooted for Dean Cross.
 Outside Of politics the professor has had a wholesome influence in the state. He has, without doubt. made the organization vince on sev- eral occasions, and MT. Averill has been forced to take refuge ln dubious technicalities.
 If Mir. Levitt's only reason for not having remained with the Demo- cratic party is because he thinks it has mo chance" of victory in Con. uecticut, then he needs be reminded that no Republican in this state can gain the favor of the organization If he happens to possess the views of MT. Levitt.
 There is no other place for the professor than a lining up with Dean Gross.
