FACTORIES RUN THE CITY"

One of the statements made re- gently at a meeting of the Citizens Property Owners Association was to the effect that "the factories run the city"
 Even now about 400 foremen have gathered at the Masonic Temple 10 be told how to vote and how to have the workmen vote.' remarked the redoubtable Martin Kelly, vice president of the asso- | citation.
 l We do not know whether the fore men gathered for any such purpose or whether that purpose was men, toned during the course Of the fore. mems meeting. But no doubt it has been true in the past that industrial | captains have endeavored 10 tell their men "how to vote" It is an old game often played; and some times it works and at other times it doesn't.
 Balloting is secret. If factory
 workmen or any considerable num-
 Der of them are so thoughtless as
 to imagine that being told" how to
 vote amounts to anything then they
 lack q necessary ideal of democratic
 citizenship.
 An industrial or business institu'
 ton has no more right 10 tell ar
 employe how to vote than it has tt : dictate his religion. This includes the Herald, 0 : course. But we are glad to state tha !, we are innocent of any such folly The last thing the Herald is inter } estcd in is how an employe votes { Indeed, we are not remotely inter ested. If that is an example ever , other institution in the city is inNit ; , ed to consider it as such.
 Our opinion is that a work1na
 who would be remotely influence : by attempted political dictation b o his employers is lacking in yer $ valuable attribute. We don't care $ have any of that sort around th : plant.

THE VOTES OF OUR SENATOR'S

This being an important week III the Senate, when the Administrations forces will attempt to reverse the decisions previously made on i'm portant tariff schedules, such as aluminium, lumber. oil, pig iron and hides, it is interesting to note the votes or the Connecticut senators upon these items previously,
 Mr. Bingham voted no OH aluminium and hide duties; and is rot registered in connection with the other three important items.
 Mir. Walcott voted no on oil, pig iron and hides; he did not vote on aluminium and lumber,
 All of the items affected Connecti- cut and New England. It is surpris- ing that our senators did not take a stand on all of them.
 It is to be hoped they do better this wceH, or when the final vote takes place.

know exactly what to do about the matter: e

matter:
 The income tax payer may not de- duct from his income, in calculat ing his income tax for 1929, any shrinkage in the stock market value of any securities which he retained during the collapse in stock market prices. Such shrinkage is considered a paper" rather than an actual loss. Nor may he deduct losses incurred from the sale of stock which he re- purchased within thirty days-the so-called wash" sale, if he is an in- dividual speculator dealing in isolat- ed or casual transactions, rather than an actual dealer or regular trader in stocks.
 Losses actually incurred from the sale of securities during 1929 are considered true business losses, and as such may be deducted from the income reported for 1929. If these losses are greater than the lndl- vidual's net income for the year. he may carry over the difference to ap- ply against his income for 1880 and 1881. Profits from the sale of securl- ties or other property held two years -or longer may be considered capital net gains" The individual tax payer has the option Of separat- ing capital net gains from his regu- l lar net income, and paying special l and separate tax of F 1-2 per cent upon them. In payment of the tax i for 1928, it was not to the interest of the average tax payer to use this option if his net income was below the sS0,O00 level. The reduction in the normal tax rate for 1929 raises the level of the individual 2 income at which it will be profit able for him to use the capital net gains option.
 Possibility of deficit in the treasury report is considered great under the circumstances. When the budget was submitted to Congress last December the indicated sur plus" was $225, 100000. Even Detor' the President asked for s100,OOO,O0t additional for the Federal Earn Board the surplus had been reduced The margin between a deficit ant a surplus in the forthcoming repor is so small, according to the Wash
 ington report of the Associated
 Press, that even with the incom
 tax payments as great as recelVe' last year it would be wiped out. From which it is safe to assume
 that there will be a treasury deficit
 It may be sad, but pretty pictur
 for Democratic spellbinders in tn
 congressional campaign.

New York, March 12.-This co., umn today was written by life prisoner in one of New York's stase prisons-a man whose name loomcd big in headlines during his sensa- tional trial number of years ago. He observations are pertinent and follows:
 It is almost a certainty l shall never see Broadway again, and al- though it was for many. years the only world I knew I am rather gla ]. I am not referring to the physical Broadway of lights and gaiety but the real Broadway that is "a state of consciousness"
 In my rather brief hour l was a part of it's sham. it's insincere fellow ship. It was my idea of heaven on earth. Not until my disaster swept away my fair weather friends as leaves of autumn are swept by the frosty winds did l realize the utter indifference of it's spurious soul 10 misfortune.
 This sounds like whine bl. isn't so intended. Should it serve Us a warning to just one of the tho1- sands as weak as myself it will fu'- | fill a, purpose. l came 10 Broadway with no particularly high ideals. But I was, as men go, fairly decent and l was truthful.

 I began, like so many oters, to pose as something l was not nor ever would be. The sailing was SC smooth I became a living lie and what moral stamina I had was soon undermined. Being myself establish ed no credit or made me welcome where l wished to go. But posing did.
