Short Interest.

NEW YORK, February 81 (SpeciaD
Brokers who have been watching the
leaning of stocks claim that the short
interest is increasing rather than de-
creasing The most important bears
still hold to the opinion that prices
must later reflect the slow progress in
business and that when the preliminary
estimates Of March quarter corporation
earnings are published they will be able
to cover their commitments at a profit.
The weak shorts have already been run
in. The strong members of the group
covered considerable percentage of
their commitments two weeks ago, but
have been putting out additional lines
this week

ATTEMPT TO BREAK
INTO PRISON FUTILE
Man Seeking Food and Shelter
Stays Free When Bad-Check
Victim Drops Charge.

LOS ANGELES, February 21.-The
determination of James Roberts. a.
who said he once was a prosperous bust
ness man in Windsor, VT, to, break into
prison for shelter and food seemed des-
tined today to be unsuccessful. .
Police said Roberts cashed a fictitious
SIS check in a store last Monday and
then asked to be arrested. Police re-
fused because the check had not been
returned. They told him to call back
in three days.
He gave himself up yesterday, asking
assurance of shelter and food. Com
plants were issued, but the store re-
Roberts probably would be released.

Tax Strikes

Our. people are taxed out of their homes and lands complains harassed taxpayer. He is urging a taxpayers strike So are many others in many places. Complaint is natural. Taxpayers have real grievances. That is, those who pay on real estate. This form of property has borne an undue share of the burden in the United States.
 Income taxes, in comparison with those abroad. are light. Look at England, where the basic tax rate is 25 per cent, and single man with $l,S00 a year pays the govern ment $353.50 of it to our S3.38, or the man with S5,000 a year and two children pays $958.50 to our Sl2.38. But it is diff ferent with land and buildings. These are taxed more heavily in America than in Brit ain. Realty has burdens piled on it because 1t is definite, visible and on record, and can not escape. It adds to the grievance to see so much of the tax money wasted.
 Nevertheless, taxpayers strikes are not the remedy. Every owner should make every effort to get his taxes paid, for public ser- vice and private security. And while doing so he should fight public incompetence, thriftlessness and dishonesty. The fall cleo tions offer an opportunity for that

Playing Politics

Democratic leaders throughout the state are beginning to ponder on the ways ot some of their associates. Especially so when these same associates are going counter to their actions of some years ago. There has been great deal said in democratic circles Tn Connecticut of the candidacy of Alfred F. Smith for the presidential nomination in 1o32. But oddly enough it is coming from sources which were not enthusiastic about the chances of the former New York gov- ernor seven years ago when the famous MeAdoo-Smith deadlock was ultimately broken by the nomination of John w. Davis. Those who supported Smith from the start in 1924 seem to have swung to the Roosevelt camp this year.
 A few days ago Alfred E. Smith took to task a so-ealled friend who had given out statement on Mir Smiths attitude towards !! lo32 and the democratic nomination. In no uncertain tones Mir Smith announced to the press that he had authorized no man to give out such statements. Personally we doubt if Smith will permit his name to come before the 1932 convention as a candidate. He may take an active part in the choice ot the nominee in which he may even have to oppose his successor, Governor Roosevelt, but we are afraid that he is not considering being made the ''goat' of those staunch supporters of the democratic party, the solid southern states.
 If democratic leaders of Connecticut want to launch a Smith drive they certainly ought to consult their subject about 1t. And if they hope to launch their boats in the same manner and have them come back filled, they should first explain to the state their sudden change of heart. Of course Connee- ticue was for Smith in 1928, that is the democrats were. There couldn't be any other stand in the face of his overwhelming popularity and availability. But we can still remember 1924 and the sores that were broken then. They still pain occasionally. We hope they aren't to be broken open again in 1852.
 The situation is somewhat akin to that in republican ranks. MT Roraback has never recovered from the Coolidge mania. Perhaps events of Mir Hoover's administra- ton prove he wasn't SO far from right Tn his judgment of the two men. But he per- sisted in his support of Mir Coolidge when it was apparent as it could possibly be that the Northampton man was out of the presl- dential race. We still think Mir Roraback would drum up Coolidge support in Con- necticut if he thought the ex-president would get in the harness again. Evidently a few democrats of Connecticut are trying the same stunt, but purely for their own req sons. We suggest leaving such decisions to the delegates.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-15

A Borah-for president movement is gain ing ascendaney in the United States accord ing to close friends of the Idaho senator and threatens to break the solidity of republican ranks when they convene next year osten- sibly to renominate Hoover for president. It's just one more worry to vex Mir Hoover who certainly has had his fill during his administration to date. We wouldn't be sur prised if by the time June. l932. rolls around he might be able to command the sympathy of the entire nation. If he can do this he will surely be renominated How ever. in the meantime the insurgent forces will certainly do their best to capitalize their candidate. if he can be called that The sem ator himself has not said anything about the movement other than to express his satis- faction at finding so many friends. even in Virginia, where the boom was created. His fellow senator. Smith w. Brookhart. like Borah. an insurgent. would like to see the Idahoan in the presidential race and is will ing to support Borah, Hiram A. Johnson. Norris. La Toilette or other progressives As he is 66 years of age, Senator Borah would probably have to make his stand next year --sing his swan song as it were.
