CONMl MYSTIC ACTIVITIES

Let everyone De employed, with d the communities, and the Conl- mun,sts have a hard time getting anyone interested in their doctrines Let there be rift in the prosperity, SO that instead of 100 per cent of the people being satisfied with their lot only 95 per cent are satisfied, and the Communists eagerly seize the opportunity 10 impress the indi- gent five per cent that thcrc is hope and happiness in Communism.
 When Hoover universal prosperity slipped cog. the comparatively few Communists in the nation seized the opportunity with energy worthy Of a better cause. They made their presence felt in industrial com- munities, haranguing the unemploy- cd and causing the police 10 wonder what 10 do about it. In the long run most Communists, it seems, get themselves arrested on one charge or another.
 This nation is far from Russia, where Communism is the state policy. If Communism were as dan scrous as it IS era ckcd up to be by alarmed citiZcnry it would have had an opportunity 10 show its claws in nations close 10 Russia long before this. There is Poland, for instance; and Germany, two lands of consider able industrial activity. There arc a larger percentage Of Com munists in both than in this country. but they don't seem able to do more than horc--that is, stage shows for the newspa pers to report.
 There arc many different kinds ol people in the world, and ono kind happens 10 be Communists. They may create difficulties here anl there for established authority; bui if they were not Communists they would be pretty much the same un. der another name.

 We have noticed that whcnc> CT Inc vets start a first rate campaign of cducation the drys arc not Tar behind, There was the campaign ot Mayor Paonessa, for instance, and the local branch of the league to do something about the amendment, regardless Of its official title. The mayor was at pains 10 obtain the opinions of numerous chiefs Of po- lice throughout the state and made d very impressive showing. lie obtain cd plenty or publicity, too; indeed, the publicity was statewide. due no doubt to the fact q mayor was Q the helm Of the campaign and the opinions of city officials elsewhere were utilized,
 Scarcely dld the mayor get his artillery well placed when word eli- dcntly went forth in dry circles that something had to Dc done and the first thing the mayor knew he was m a ''noH spapcr controversy with an official Of dry fact-iinding organization.
 Neither the mayor nor his follow CTS were converted by the fact-find- CT, nor were any of the drys con- vcrtcd by the mayor, so far ss we arc aware.
 Both sides, 10 the pest or our knowledge, arc just about where they were before. Or course, no one has taken census about such things, not even editors, and this assumption may therefore be sub ject 10 change without notice, as the time tables sometimes say.

UCTTLNG THE r. |. (.

In commenting upon his victory against the Public Uulities Commis- sion in Supcror Court, Professor AL bert Levitt, the Greenwich law teacher, declared that by now the people have come 10 learn that they have the opportunity to compel the commission 10 do it's duty. IT they do not take due advantage Of their opportunity it is their own fault. The law professor has, after arduous personal labors in the interest of the public, shown the way.
 The professor adds that he has in mind an investigation Of the com- missions benevolent attitude toward the New Haven railroad and it's benevolent attitude toward the clcc- trIc utility companies. These arc subjects that could stand q thor ough- going investigation 10 say the least,
 The pubhc's attitude toward the P L. C. has been as critical as that of Professor Levitt. Untll the law professor came along with his per- sonal efforts, aided materially by his knowledge of what legal pro- Ccdurc to take and his advantage in being able to proceed without un- due expense to himsclf-pcrhapa ! nothing more than the work Of compiling the papcrs-thc public was like sheep without a leader.

UNEQUAL TAXATION AND TUE RIMEDN

One Of the complaints frequently heard in this city is that taxation on realty IS not equally distributed. The Citizens Property owners associa- ton. composed mostly Of citizens who own residence. buildings, no doubt IS concerned with this as with other taxation questions. ]. [. Alice. in q communication 10 the Herald, discourscd on the subject with kcanncss, citing examples oc inequalities.
 This is a problem that inevitably contronts every city. In some, as in the case Of Chicago. unequal taxa ton of a pronounced nature has led to financial disaster, cr has been q contributing caus". Perhaps in every city where assessments are made in the customary manner that is to say, by local officials ap- pointed by local official, usually the mayor-such conditions will exist in small or large form.
 It so happens that the dcccnnial revision Of aN-asscssmcnt valuations has just been brought 10 close in New London, and the excitement i'll he Whaling city IS intense. The grand list was boo-tcd fully $@0,000,- 900, and in spite of increased budg- cts quickly put forward by enter prisng city departments, the tax rate has been cut mills. Naturally, were it not for the increased budg- cts, the tax rate would have been reduced much more. In New Lon don. as in many another city, the prospect of increased tdXables brings with 1t desire by politicians 10 spend moro money, The city man. acer in New London. who brought about the scientific manner of as- sessment, can scarcely prevent the politicians from doing their worst.
 What was done in New London should be done everywhere. Instead of relying upon local assessors, New London employed imported experts as assessors, who assessed the pro- pertics as uniformly as scientific standards permitted. Naturally much undcrasscssed property was tound and this condition was cor lcctcd 10 such effect that the new grand list IS S6o.o00.ooo instead ot the former S4o,ooo,ooo.
 The main point, however IS not the increased grand list but the fact that New London has found that imported assessors, despite their cost, arc likely 10 do their work without fear or favor.
