Long Term Investments

We have men. money. machinery. skill. materials and distributive organizations. says the Chicago Tribune. What we lack is the assurance that the future is not going to be bleak. Once that assurance returns prosperity will return with it. It is waste of time to tell man who is out of a job or thinks he may soon be out of a job or thinks he may soon be out of job to buy without thought of tomorrow. It ought not to be a waste of time to tell a man with money to invest that he should invest it in sound projects offering a mod crate return over long period. Housing projects are of this nature. So. too IS rail- road identification and no doubt there are others equally sound"
 Here is sound sense speaking with clear voice out of chaos of conflicting opinions and crazy economic schemes. Money must stop hiding or idling because it cannot make quick returns at fancy rates. It must look ahead to the sane and sound longtime 'n- vestment. bringing small but sure returns. And the investments based on fundamental needs of humanity. food. shelter. clothing fuel. transportation. are the ones which now as alWayS Will yleio pest III the 'ohS iui'' Forms of the means which fill these needs change from time to time. There reason and vision may help to build the fortunes of the future. But people are going to need shoes of some kind and ways to get, from one place to somewhere else as long as there are people. They may eat bacon and beans today, beefsteak and spinach tomor- row. but fed they must be with something
 in bad times or good. Roofs. roads, means of communication and amusement are and always will be important.

The Truth About Crime

A great company of unfortunate young men are going in for lives of crime. How can they be checked in this deplorable course9 Criminals are younger than they used to be. and men of any maturity of judgment can see that crime does not pay. But the youngsters are not wise enough to learn that lesson. Somehow the idea needs to be beaten into their heads. that crime IS the most miserable career
 It would seem useful if the actual facts about the results of crime could be collected by some scientific authority, and put into the form of brief talks to be given to ehil- dren. Radio talks about crime mixed Tn with entertainment features would be very useful Motion picture features showing the results of crime would help lot Such forms of education would cost money. But it would be far better to spend millions of dollars showing the young people that the crooked course dose not pay than to lose billions as we are doing now, through the thefts and frauds of the crooks.
 It can be clearly demonstrated that while crooked people may commit number Of crimes and get by. yet that it IS practically impossible to follow a criminal career, even for short time. and not get caught. And when once caught, mans career IS ruined by the black stain on his reputation. They can also be shown that when they commit one crime, honest work loses it's fascination. The criminal tendency, like some loathe- some disease. fastens its smy hold on their weakened minds If these facts and truths can be spread before the young people in some attractive form. mixed in with enter tanment. in radio and picture features in their schools, homes. reading matter and churches, it should be possible to turn their minds away in sckened disgust from the dirty yellow path.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-08-05
The Suppression of Crime

There seems to be general agreement that crime has largely increased, and we are not having any great success in stopping 1t. If the number of crimes committed has doubled in recent years as seems probable. it is likely that the losses from these crimes have tripled. But we have not come any where near doubling or ,ripng the strength Of the forces that are warrng against crime.
 We have not come anywhere near thus augmenting the forces of police and detec- tves on whom we depend for defense against the crooks. Considering that Il takes the time of many more policemen to protect citizens against traffic dangers and other new developments of modern life, it seems doubtful if there are any more police men and detectives to protect the people against the criminal class than there were 20 years ago.
 In this warfare. the criminals are more favorably situated than they previously were because automobiles enable them to to make their escape so quickly and easily. It seems intolerable to think that these crooks can thus put these things over on the country .and get away with so many of them. If our people are unable to persuade the boys not to go in for crime, they should at least so strengthen the forces warning aoainst crime, that these lawbreakers can be held down.
 Many changes in the laws and criminal procedure are needed in some states, to make it easier to convict criminals once they are caught. It is terribly discouragng to rolice officers. to work hard and risk their lives to get some gang of crooks, and then have these people get away because of legal delays and teehnicalities. And above all we must not forget, that prevention is better than cure. and that club and athletic life for boys would turn the attention of many of them away from the criminal path.

POLICE SCHOOLS.
(New Haven Register)

The establishment of a police school for rocky" or probation ary officers is something sadly needed in New Haven. It Is an excellent idea to install one and the movement recently started by President Murray of the Police board should be promptly carried through.
 The value of a police school Is far greater than the average citi- zen knows. It not only turns out the finished policemen from the point of view of knowing his city and how to direct bewildered pedestrians politely, but 1t teaches the would-be thief catcher just how to do his thief catching. It trains him in Jujitsu, the famous Japanese wrestling system. by which one man can meet two or three opponents and subdue them in quick order; 1t teaches him how to carry his pistol. how to draw 1t in line of fire to "get the drop'' on another; it instructs him in first aid to the injured" and In many other ways helps turn the raw material into finished officers, who can be of the greatest value to the people who are sorely in need of protection these days of underworld dominance.
 New Haven has 6 good police force now. It's men are brave, will ing, and as L. rule we'll turned but officers, but 1t Is constantly putting raw recruits on the streets which Is as unfair as to put uD' | trained soldiers in the field. Il must instruct these lads in how tt fight and how tv defend themselves

Who Are Our Police Working For?

The Democrat doesn't care great deal about critieising the police, but we wonder just how it is the Waterbury Department IS taking so much interest in the recent Wol- colt murder. It was all right, at the start. to conduct the preliminary investigation. but when this was done. it was the duty of the local authorities to turn the case over to the state police or the county detective. The Coroner of Waterbury IS not a city official: he is county officer. He has no power over the police department. except to summon its membership for examination. No provision of the law makes 1t necessary for the city of Waterbury to provide him with office rent or a place to conduct an inquiry. or to furnish automobiles or detec- lives at his will.
 Waterbury detectives just now. have all they can do to justify their employment by unraveling the numerous burglaries com- mitted in Waterbury of late. Set hours of duty for a detective bureau is a joke but the custom is in vogue here, and will prob- ably be continued until some alert board of commissioners orders otherwise.
 The taxpayers of Waterbury are not sup posed to pay for the solving of the Wolcott murder case. Now that proper arrests have been made. the local detective bureau should cease its apparent activities. and confine its work to actual crime in our own city De- tectives posing with handcuffed prisoners over which they have no jurisdiction or au- thority. should stop. at once, too.
 Solve your own mysteries first, Water bury. Feeding and caring for outside pris- oners has become altogether too common here. Taxpayers should not be SO burdened, no matter how small the cost
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-08-05
Useful Vacations

Docs your vacation help you go on with your work, or do you return so tired that 1t takes weeks to recover? Different people require different kinds of vacation experi- ences Those who have been under nervous strain do well to keep pretty quiet. They should spend many days sitting on porches and looking at the scenery, and permitting the quiet peace of nature to soften the rough edges of their souls. Teachers usually be- long in that class. The high tension of the classroom calls for a period of low pres- sure The hammock is apt to be the best place for them. Books on psychology and the latest educational theory may not be so useful for them as the latest mystery story.
 Many housewives. toiling over their dish washing and cleaning, belong in another class. A little excitement IS what they need to make life seem more sparkling. Some gay summer hotel or camp with plenty of music and dancing and sports would do them good.
 The main thing 10 get the mind out of its old groove. The business man who can't get away from the stock ticker is not probably making the best use of his time. The golf club should be more useful to him than any business news, If people try to be money makers 52 weeks in the year, they may not make any in any week.
 Many people need vacation badly. but never get one, Life is not adjusted as it should be for them. Many people get too much vacation as the result of unemploy- ment That is fault of business that ought to be remeded. It is some problem to give everyone enough vacation. but not too much. Vacation time, in the right proportion. IS blessed experience, for those who use it to give their physical and mental powers new start of productive energy.

hole in the drivers purse. Since 1921 total motor vehicle tax income has increased at the rate of l4 per cent year - and gas tax income at the rate of 79 per cent year. In spite of this. annual increases in motor vehicle registration have been less than II per cent and expenditures for highways have gone up but six per cent. So far dur- ing l93l ten legislatures have given the gas tax boost skyward - and in one state a seven -eent tax just escaped passing. The gasoline tax will approach $500, 0,000. 900 this year and the total motor vehicle tax will be close to l.500.000,000.

Save The Budgets

Balanced budgets are very nearly unknown in Europe today. Lower tax returns in- cludng customs duties lower incomes. fewer commercial transactions and lower imports mean greatly curtailed national in- comes. Administrative economics have been tried everywhere, but they have been offset by unforeseen demands on national treasuries particularly demands for un- employment relief. Deficits of varying dimensions are the inevitable result. The United States can understand how that is. Our federal government has a treasury def- cit. and cities and states are broke or dan gerously near that point.
 What to do about it is one of the most urgent problems before officials everywhere. It is harder for a government to economize than for an individual. but the latter. under corresponding circumstances. has to curtail on luxuries and comforts. Governments must learn to do likewise.

PRAISES YANKEE CULTURE.
(Hartford Times)

A distinguished and aged British astronomer, Sir Robert Ball, after having completed an eleven weeks lecture tour of the United States, of course was asked to give his impression of Americans as he saw them. Let us suppose that he WAS not thinking, more than slightly. of the cordial reception given his lectures nor of the compensation which was paid him for his sever al appearances, when he stated this to be his appraisal of the inhablt- ants of the United States:
 Every moment was full of in- terest, instruction and entertain ment of the highest order. There is one thing however, that have
 not seen. I have stayed in many
 houses, in hotels great and hotels poor; I have been entertained at
 dinners, at luncheOns and at re-
 captions large and small. have
 shaken hands with many hum
 dreds and have spoken to many
 thousands, and yet the one thing
 that I have not seen Is an Amer
 ican. don't mean red Indians.
 The American l have not seen
 Is the tall. swaggertng, tobacco
 chewing Uncle Sam of the stage
 and fiction. I have met scores of the most charming, well-bred.
 well-educated and GU ltiv ated
 people that this earth can show.
 but of the dollar-worshiping vul-
 garian that the American Is re-
 puted to be at home l know
 nothing" ...... It is an opinion with whicf many Americans will heartily a. gree in this respect that the stage American is a rare animal off stage. We do not object 10 tha form of entertainment. In fact w like to laugh at ourselves In carl cature. That is. perhaps, another mark of cultured composure. Bu as for considering the stage typ' a true sample of the average ol any other Yankee. perish th' thought.

DAFFODILS, BUS TICKETS AND
 POETRY

Christian Science Monitor)
 Why would Wordsworth have found a fit subject for poetry in a crowd of golden daffodils, but not In crowd of equally golden bus tickets scattered on the grass dn Hampstead Tealth? This was the stimulating question asked by Sir James Jeans. the distinguished astronomer, in presenting the Haw- thornden prize in London recently. One Is not, as a matter of fact. altogether certain that Wordsworth would have scorned bus tickets as the subject of poem. He was in- deed the poet of nature and soli- tude. of "the sounding cataract" of mountain, lake, and stream, and things far from the busy hum of civilization. But he held the prov | ince of poetry to be limitless, em- bracing everything that could pos- sibly enter into the lives of men. He believed that there was noth- ing, however apparently prosaic in itself, which might not be trans muted into beauty at the touch of the poets hand, for poetry is the breath and finer spirit of all Knowledge"
 But Sir James Is right in suppos- ing that most people would see lit- tie poetry nj a scattering of bus tickets. They would argue that poetry deals only with such sub jects as arouse aesthetic emotions, and are clustered about with as- sociations of beauty. Here one might inquire how 1t Is that field of daffodlis. or almost any nat ural scene, strikes the beholder as l ,sf | A little reflection will supply somewhat surprising light on the question, though perhaps not full answer. It is a sober fact that many to-day find beauty in nature less because nature is itself beautiful than because a great deal of ex- quisite poetry has been written about 1t. To-day 1t seems almost in- conceivable that the majesty and grandeunr of mountains should not be appreciated. Yet there were Greeks who found no beauty in tho high hills, and the Romans frank ly disliked them. Wordsworth and the group of poets who were his contemporaries helped to open mems eyes to perceive adequately the splendor of mountain crags a lake or hill is beautiful now, be- cause Wordsworth and Coleridge have revealed this to us.
