Too Much Discrimination

Massachusetts officials are beginning to worry about the discrimination that has been practiced with regard to the letting of high way contracts. It was only day or so ago that the New England Council called of Massachusetts with regard to bids on state highway projects to reject all those from contractors out of the state. As result many pieces of work have been done at prices considerably higher than they could have been had the job been awarded to Con- necticut contractors who bid, but whose bids were thrown out.
 Lieutenant Governor Youngman is now endeavoring to bring the governor and exeeu- tive council around to his point of view which is, namely, that the lowest bidder should get road contracts regardless of the fact that he is Bay Slater or Massachu- setts man. The Federal Aid Bureau has become ineensed at Massachusetts' action and recently threatened to withhold its funds due on road project which was not given to the lowest bidder, a Hartford Conn, con- tractor The federal governments share ot the expense was Sl62,000. It is against the policy of the Federal Aid Bureau to favor home contractors to lower bidders.
 Massachusetts should see the danger of this practice While home industries and home workmen should be encouraged the practice of rejecting bids from reputable out of state contractors for public work will only cause reeiproeation by neighboring states with consequent loss of thousands of dollars to Massachusetts workmen and companies. Such policy of isolation is not in the best interests of New England. If the Council cannot prevail upon the Bay State authorities to consider thoroughly its action in boyeotting Connecticut contractors it may be forced to sad alternative. We are thankful that such practices have not yet. been adopted by this state nor are they apt to be.

TO-DAY'S SELECTED POEM
HARVEST MOON

(By T. Morris Longstreth In The Christian
 Science Monitor) Full-eared the cornlands wait their golden
 doom, The sweeping hawk is satiate at last, The chary bees have sealed each honied room. The low brooks say that what Is past is past. Even the wind delays among the trees No more to spin white petals nor ridge the
 stream. The years green swell is spent in yellow seas. And where was singing. silence finds its dream.
 night clashng with stars and swift with hungry
 wind, But these large hours. drowned in this tawny
 light. On lonely fields and woods the frost has
 thlnned; And so resolve ell troubled things to peace.

Mayors Get Together

Some fifty or sixty municipal officials met in New Britain yesterday at the invita- ton of Mayor George Quigley of that city and after two sessions came to the eonelu- sion that new methods of taxation were needed to shift the burden from property owners who today are forced to bear the weight of most of our civic expenses Organ ization of municipal league whose efforts will be bent towards securing from the Leg islature ways and means of changing this state of affairs was accomplished before the executives adjourned. However so diverse were opinions on the subject under discus sion that it will be some time before change in existing methods of taxation IS made.
 That municipalities in general are finally recognizing the plight of the small property owner can't be doubted. More and more cities are endeavoring to struggle Flong on decreased receipts. while expenses mount. To make up the deficit 1t IS customary to lack up tax rates and extract from the man on the street the necessary funds to construct paved thoroughfares, sidewalks, lay sewers, erect street lights, etc. The demands made upon a municipality are multitudinous. he tax rate only keeps pace with these demands. Blocked at this point those who have our best interest at heart must turn to other sources to make up the deticit.
 Among those mentioned by the assembled mayors, seectmen, and other town and eity officials yesterday were one-cent gasoline tax. state income tax, luxury tax, sales tax, tax on bonds and securities, allocation to towns of motor vehicle fines. and regstra- ton fees on automobiles. Should the cities lay claim to the latter two amounts we should probably find the state seeking other ways of increasing its revenue so that its expenses wouldn't fall too far below Its income. It might simply be case ot rob- ping Peter to pay Paul. No matter what schemes advanced for taxation 1t means more money out of the pocket of the taxpayer.
 We've often wondered in the last few months while people were talking about the return of prosperity if we weren't rather foolish to be hoping for those lavish post war days when a dollar meant little or noth- ing to the average man. We often think 1t would be far better for this nation if 1t for got that period of over-inflation and sought to find level of living that was more con- sistent with the history of this great nation. A more moderate scale of living by all of us would certainly tend to straighten out such things as high taxes. Nobody said anything at the New Britain session about lowering the costs of government. There is no req son why they have to mount by leaps and bounds annually.

Machine Politics

Connecticut has been furnished good ex- amples the last week of the efficiency Of the party organization in politics. In both New Haven and Waterbury primary battles were waged in which the organization or the machine, if you prefer to call it that. came off the victor. In this city both in the democratic and republican parties is this true. The administration forces of Mayor Hayes with the machinery of the democratic town committee at its command found lit- tie difficulty in overwhelming the Kennedy group. The same was true in the repub- lean primary when regular republicans re- sisted easily the efforts of insurgents to control the conventions.
 Wednesday in New Haven the democrats practically nominated Alderman John Mur- phy for mayor by assuring him of all but eight of the delegates to yesterdays city convention. His opponent was State Sen ator William H. Haekett an adversary who has commanded the respect of both republi- cans and democrats in the Legislature by his brillianee and sound principles of govern ment. The margin of victory was four to one for Alderman Murphy. Such candi- date. as Senator Hackett might be counted upon to provide more opposition than the vote indicates. but he was opposed by the democratic town committee with its organ ization and machinery to aid his opponent.
 It requires a tremendous amount of vote- getting to defeat any organization. That's what makes the victory of Governor Cross in lo30 all the more impressive. To break down the powerful republican organization which has ruled this state for so many years was no easy task It required not merely good organization on the democratic side of the fence. but a candidate who might appeal to the rank and file of voters who are swayed by candidates and not by party principles nor organization diteates. Fortu- nately for the democratic party II selected just the type of candidate to make this ap. peal convincing. In addition it wielded an organization just bit stronger than 1t was given credit for.
 We sincerely hope that this state organ izztion will not be split asunder by l932 when 1t will be necessary to test it's strength once more Say what you will about DO. IificaI machines they are almost necessary for political success in these days. While most of us still subscribe to the opinion of Grover Cleveland that public office is nnblie trust. we do admit that the election of practically sll public officials today has Heeome a business with business principles er1I1ed reIieieRsly. It takes an efficient or p.nizsfion fo run \ business It certainly ;,rr'r-s one e <|e<t esndidsss to office.
