Time To Retrench

At last direct, clear-cut plan for curing the depression has been suggested: repeal the moot-Hawley Tariff Act! The pro- ponents of this policy are Representative David J. Lewis of Maryland and Senator Edward P Costigan of Colorado. who once served together for eight years on the Tariff Commission. Not only are they economic experts. but they possess the rare ability to see beyond purely personal interests to the welfare of all the people who are adversely affected by the selfish promotion of personal interests.
 Senator Costigan, although he is from the beet sugar state of Colorado, knows that the present tariff exists primarily for the ex- orbitant protection of the insignificant beet sugar industry, and that American house. wives pay an annual toll of millions of dol lars for the upkeep of a small group of sugar producers. He knows, also that the additional tariff slapped on sugar in 1850 has ruined Cuba, one of our best customers so that all former exporters to Cuba now suffer enormously with resulting unemploy- ment here.
 In order to create this deplorable situation. tariff trade was made with Connecticut manufacturers to exclude Swiss watches, with the resulting bankruptcy of the Swiss watch manufacturers and the suspension of Swiss imports from the United States in re- taliation for our ineonsiderate treatment It would not have taken much intelligence to have foreseen, especially since Congress was advised by those informed in economics be- fore the Shoot Tariff was enacted, that other nations would retaliate with high tar ifs against us.
 The result is that according to the Tor onto Industrial Commission. over 200 United States industries are actively consid- ering extending operations in Canada. AL ready, there are more than 500 branches in operation in the Toronto area alone. Over thousand American manufacturers are mak- ing plans to establish plants in European countries, with an estimated employment of half million foreign operatives and the unemployment of an equal number here. Such is the wisdom displayed By our bril- liant tariff record

Expensive Bulletins

My mail from the Department of Agri- culture yesterday must have weighed half pound" reports a professor of economics who is also newspaper writer on eeonom- cs and finance. Tt included a treatise on the Goal of the Bureau of Plant Industry; one on Ten-Pont Program for Submar- ginal Areas; another on Stability as the Chief Need of Forest Policy. and an un- usually illuminating piece on the probaoil- ity that Swine Will Predominate at the Fed cral Livestock exposition. And to cap all this off was copy of long speech delivered by Secretary Hyde at land utilization con- ference
 What of it? The economist suggests that too much money is spent to prepare and distribute bulletins which. on the whole are not either very important or very interest ing. Other federal departments get out their own special literature, too, and all of it goes through the mail under the franking privi- lege Looks as if there were little chance for economy here somewhere. At least, why not use more discrimination in sending out matter of limited appeal'
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-11-24

All game wardens in New Hampshire have been given orders to shoot to kill in the state s latest war on deer "jackers That ought to strike terror into the hearts of those who en- gage in this pastime. The order follows ruthless attempt upon the part of several deer "jaekers' last week to escape detention. Sur prised by lone warden they drove their au- tomobile into his and when he pursued them on foot they fired at him from ambush. You certainly would expect just such action from this gentry of sportsmen. How any Connecticut hunters can lower themselves to the rank is more than we can understand. Deer 'jaeking' is just as prevalent in Con- nectieut as in other New England states where there is closed season on deer. It consists merely in focusing a powerful fash light upon a deer or group of them while feeding. The animal stands motionless when the beam strikes his eyes and the pur- suer simply fires shotgun or rife at the helpless prey. Heavy fines are usually meted out to violators who are caught but this had little or no effect in eurbing this violation of all laws of nature and hunting Too often the venison suppers that we read about in our daily papers are the result of deer "jacking' by some big hunter. If a man can't go out and bring deer down as the law allows then he should never be permitted to shoulder rifle.

Where Smith Stands

There is much ado about the presidential nomination status of ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York in this state. It almost came to head last week when Ma tional Committee man Archibald McNeil of Bridgeport conferred with Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt in New York city. It was first reported that Mir McNeil in- formed Governor Roosevelt that this state was going to support Mir Smith when the democratic convention met next year. We swere glad to see that Mir McNel denied this statement Nobody. even the leaders of the democratic party, can say what candidate Twill be supported for the presidential nom nation at this carly date
 Perhaps Mir MeNeil told Governor Roosevelt that there was still strong Smith sentiment in Connecticut. That is to some scxtent true. But we fully believe that Al Smith will not be candidate for the nom ination at the 1852 convention. If he is I've will be very much surprised, There is wealth of material in democratic ranks. sDoubtless the state convention will decide on one of the many outstanding candidates when it meets next spring for just such
 
 free to express himself or herself on prefer enee for the nomination. Only in such smanner can the actual likes and dislikes of the party in this state become known. E If Governor Roosevelt continues to dis play as much strength right up to the day of the convention. we imagine that Connee- ticuf's democratic delegation will favor him. just as will those of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. now hailed as Smith strong holds. Long before that time we expect that Mr Smith will have definitely taken his stand on party candidates. As in past years we presume that the Connecticut delegation wi1I eo pninstrueted but with it's own in. fenfions well known beforehand. Three years aeo it was practically united in favor of smith. Four years before that there was a division of sympathy with the Spellaey. Elszeerald- Cummings forces working for William c. MeAdoo. while Waterbury re- msined the Smith hope

MIR SHOOT ON GUARD
fsnrinrfield Repuhlicanl

As the new British antidumping duties on imports go into effect, Senator Shoot rises vigilantly to the occasion. Our own tariff law has sections providing for counter vailing duties on certain articles. In case the British law levies duties on these articles higher than our own law does, snap go the higher automatically onto the same kind of British goods coming into this country. It's a game more than one can play Still, Senator Shoot seems disap- pointed. The British experts In pro- lection are young at the business. yet they made a careful study, of our tariff before getting under way. Washington finds that no retalia- ton is yet possible because the British avoided forcing our coun- tervailing duties into action. MT Shoot, however, remains hopeful
 Before the fight Is ever" he .warns everybody at home and abroad. "we shall find our present tariff duties are none too high and in many cases may have to be ad- vanced."si .@,i. ~ A ripping, old -fashipped protec-
 tionist like Mir Shoot may live many happy days before this busi-
 ness is ended. If high tariff is a
 joy forever, what must he, the. de- lights inherent in the, levying of countervailing duties seeking 1t to imports of goods, from countries that sock fit to the imports from this country? A tarfff warrior with professional pride may enjoy a fight between customs houses as
 much as a member of the Navy league may enjoy a fight between
 battleships.
 MT Shoot Is rightsin calling tar lft retaliation "fght." Tariffs
 mean economic war. If the British govrenment will be moderate, 1t may be possible to restrain MT Shoot and his school from further excesses.

DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER
By RODNEY BUTCHER

as regards Roosevelt, does there seem to be any really bitter opposi- tion anywhere to any one of them. The reason for this may be that most democrats, especially the leaders, are so grimly confident about the 1892 election and believe the party should be quite cold blooded in selecting the man who at the time the convention is held appears to have the best chance to beat Hoover. They believe Baker, Roosevelt and Ritchie are all good men. But quite a few democratic leaders who are not violently ops posed to Roosevelt nevertheless in- sist that the nomination must not go to him by default in advance of the convention. And many of the commitments to Roosevelt were made a few months ago, after he was elected governor, by such a huge majority, when there was a wide belief that he was the only logical nominee. Nearly all the Baker sentiment, which has reach- ed large proportions, has developed since the original rush toward Roosevelt,

Cooperation Urged

The action of Mayor Frank Hayes Tn ordering ten per cent cut in the salary of all city employees from the humblest clerk down to the highest-paid elective offieial' is in keeping with the times. It IS not to De met with storm of protest on the ground that living conditions are such that city em- ployes are taxed as much as any worker to make both ends meet. Fortunately for most of the city's 1000 workers there have been no reductions in their pay in the years ot the Hayes administration. The mayor has found ways and means to scrlhnp and save without touching the weekly payroll of the City Hall employes teachers, police and fire departments, etc.
 The situation is one not of the admins tration's creating. but of the times. Every body is trying to get along on decreased rev. enue. Even municipalities are forced to that, but with little success. That the city em- ployes have escaped without pay cut dur ing the past twelve months is stroke Of -fortune for them, to our way of thinking, We make this statement without argument for or against the amount of money any -employe receives. We simply mean that every line of endeavor in the country to-day has been faced with the same alternative. We don't imagine that there are more than a handful of salared employees in Waterbury ..who have not been given ten per cent cut in the last twelve months. Perhaps It has amounted to more than that.
 Men engaged in trades where their eoun- cils or unions established fixed rate which cannot be changed by time or conditions are ne more fortunate. Their time is curtaied SO that less fortunate ones may be credited with some. It is peculiarly time of coop eration Many of us find it hard to con tribute to the many needy causes of the day, Especially those that are prominent at holi- day seasons. But in the long run mankind in general benefits by such self denial as salary cuts and wage reductions produce. We will emerge from this crisis better nation, ecuipped to meet the future with prepared mess program.
 It is no mean saving to the city this ten per cent slash. It amounts to over one-quarter of a million dollars and will cut the tax rate of the city two full mills. While many will find ahcr pay dropping they will also find their taxes correspondingly lower. We see no rea- son to expect anything but complete CO., operation from all concerned. We don't be- 9lieve that many who might object will be forced into submission by fear of loss of po- ,siton. That is a threat that Mayor Hayes would never hold over anybody's head. Naturally everyone must subscribe to the plan to make it successful. We can't see how any thing but cheerful aequiescenee in the face of the situation is demanded. If the city were to announce that it had no funds to pay its em- ployes. we know that all would carry on until they were forthcoming. There is a chance now to display the same courage and cooper ation.

Speaking under the auspices of the Sen tinels of the Republic Representative John Q. Tilson of New Haven declared over the radio Sunday afternoon that The on-eom- ing years in the history of our government will probably see either marked extension of paternalste doctrines or an equally marked reaction toward the type of govern ment which was planned by those who moulded the Constitution. As we look around us here in Washington we see traces of innumersble activities by the federal gov ernment which are entirely outside the scope of the Constitution as it was understood by the founders of the republic.
