be received from private property, including stocks and bonds.
 Mayor Bielefeld of Middletown stated that the small home owner is paying taxes out of proportion to others.
 Mayor Maloney of Meriden sug- gested five or even a four day work week and also remarked that people should not look for too many frills and fancies from the city government.
 These and similar expressions make up the sum total of the opin- ions expressed by the different speakers, including Mayor Quigley. All agreed that there is need of more revenue and that it should come from other property than real estate, but just how to get 1t was something difficuit to point out. The general assembly has the last word on such matters, and 1t was decided to organize 6 league with sufficient force so that the legislature will listen to It.. There it is. The generally assem- bly may listen, but even so will 1t take any stock in the appeal?
 Mayor Morgan of New London is quoted as calling attention to the problem created on account of the foreign born expecting the children. That may sound well enough now when the nation is at peace, but it would have a differ ent meaning if used during the World War when boys of foreign parents were among the bravest and best who answered the call to arms.
 There was not proposition sub mitted that has not been discussed time and again in Waterbury as far back as the time of Mayor Edward G. Kilduff and an effort made to secure remedial measures but all proved to no avail. The small home owner still continues to carry more than his share of the bur den.
 Mayor Fully of New Haven hit close at the trouble. If there is to be league he would not have it composed entirely of "experts." !" He would have a fair share of members versed in practical muni- cipal work on the commission.
 Mayor Quigley wanted the whole matter divorced from politics but he did not explain how he would bring about such a desirable re- suit. Many are of the opinion that to do what Mayor Quigley sug- gested it would be the duty of the league to advise the small home owner to go to the polls at the next state election and use the franchise in such a way that the general as- sembly would not be composed al- most exclusively of members of the party responsible for the condi- tions of which the different speak CTS, Mayor Quigley included, com plained. Anyway, the mayor of New Britain deserves credit for calling attention to an abuse which everybody knows exists, but nobody seems to have the courage to ex- pose in the seat of government where the laws are made that bind New Britain and every other town and city in the state to a system of taxation manifestly unfair to majority of the people.

Election at Prague To-day Another Honor for Noted Legionnaire and Former Waterburian Who Has
 v Been Active in Ex-Seryicenlen Circles Since End of Struggle

president of FIDAC was the re. suit of a nasty campaign organized and led by Colonel Lamar Jeffers U. s. congressman from Alabama who succeeded in swinging senti. ment to the delegate of the Ameri. can Legion and caused the with. drawal of several candidates. Major White, who is past na- tional vice-commander of the American Legion, served in France with the A. B. F. He came over seas with the 26th Division and then was transferred to the ord nance depot at Is-Sur- -Tille.
 The new president will return soon to the United States with the American delegation but will come back to Europe in November to take over the duties of his new post. He was given an euthusias- tic reception by the convention on his election.
 Major Ed White is a former Wa terburian and for years was head of the Blakeslee company here, He was active in Boy Scout work long before the war. When Cor poral Coyle post was organized "Ed" White as he is known to legionnaires, was its first com mander. He secured rooms, bought furniture with the post funds and really got the organization going in Waterbury. That was in 1920 A few years later he moved to New Haven. Ed has always been active in veteran affairs and was hon. ored repeatedly by the legion na- tionally and in Connecticut. The worldwide honor which comes to him at Prague is welcome news to his buddies here.
