l. and Senate have acted
with a celerity that must
satisfy even the stoutest
haters of democracy. 1t is
the most onerous tax ever
laid in this country in days
of peace. The balancing of
the budget is essential; the
burden must be borne; but
there are other essential
things it does not touch.
1t does not put one single
man to work.
1t does not increase pur-
chasing power by a single
cent, but on the contrary it
reduces purchasing power;
since the average man, be-
cause of the tax burden, will
have to count his pennies IN
his buying.
1t does not increase by
cent our foreign trade which
has been destroyed by a
tariff act that marks the
peak of human stupidity.
Thus, as far as the purely
human equation is con-
cerred, the balancing of the
budget means nothing at all.

WISE WORDS

One cannot ride in two boats.
The fowl of ignorance lays
the egg of pride.
Who loves his work and knows
to spare,
May live and flourish any,
where.
For want of a nail the shoe
was lost; for the want of a shoe
the horse was lost; for the want
of a horse the man was lost.
Experience is the blind mans
dog.
Starving cats make the best
mouSerS.
If wishes were horses, beg
gars would ride.
Fine feathers make fine birds.

sing, just because she happens
to be in the bath tub.
Middle age is that point at
which a woman realizes that,
like any other antique, she looks
her best in a dim, soft light.
When a man reaches forty
five or fifty, he should put
away childish things - but
that's usually the time when he
wants to begin marrying them.
A woman seems to have a
passion for cupboard and
closets, just as man has for
pockets-as places where she
can keep lot of junk she
doesn't want and can hide
things from herself.
It's easy enough for per-
sonable young man to marry
for money these days. The
hard part is collecting it. on the
installment plan, forever after
ward.

Not their need for new laws,

Fundamental need

Nothing for the
Jobless

The same is true of the
Finance Reconstruction Cor
poration-on which the Ad-
ministration insisted.
1t has not put a single
man to work nor increased
the purchasing power of the
nation; nor affected our for
eign trade. 1t has not even
facilitated credit at the
banks. 1t has, however,
gone far toward restoring
confidence in the banks, and
has done something for the
railroads.
But again the human equa-
sion, reaching to men re-
fused the right to work, is
ignored.

Something Must
Be Done

De lone
When a five-billion-dollar
prosperity loan was first
proposed and urged, not
only the amount, but the
very idea behind it was
generally jeered by the
"wise and the good" by
the heavy thinkers, and the
politicians. But with the
appalling increase in unem-
ployment, with the bitter
protests of welfare organi-
cations against the brutal
disregard of human suffer-
ing by men in power, these
wise and good and heavy
thinkers have finally caught
up, or caught on.
1t is generally agreed now
that something must be done.
But as we have witnessed
the constant whiting down
of the amount to be spent
on public works, and the
disposition to confine the
work to construction that
brings in revenue, we have
been persuaded that there is
less thought actually of
meeting the desperate human
needs than of establishing
an alibi for the politicians.
The man in the street is

The Administration
Will Do Nothing

Nothing will be done so
long as Mr.. Hoover is in
office toward the restoration
of the foreign markets that
were lost to us by Mr..
Hoover's determined effort
to force the Grundy tariff
on the statutes. He refuses
even so much as to discuss
reciprocal arrangements with
other nations.
And now the Administra-
tion is determined that moth
ing at all, or as little as
possible, shall be done by
the Federal Government to
prevent actual starvation or
to put men to work. Mr..
Mills and Mr.. Hurley have
taken the field to fight both
the Garner bill in the
House and the Wagner bill
in, the Senate.
The Secretary Of t h
Treasury h as taken the
pains to present estimates to
show that the public build
ings and rivers, harbors and
flood control provisions will
not furnish work for more
than 1000 of the 9,0OO,O 900
men denied the right to
work. We do not know how
much justification there is
for these figures.

Mr.. Hurley Jeers
at the Jobless

There was a vast amount
Of buncombe offered to
human misery by Secretary
Hurley in his statement be-
fore a House committee.
With 100000 breadwinners
denied their right to work,
with many millions, includ-
ing millions of children,
inadequately fed, and actual
victims Of slow starvation,
with welfare workers having
no political ak to grind in
sisting that Federal money
must. be used as it has not
been used in three years, to
prevent starvation, Mr.. H,lr-
ley plays upon the word
dole. " Thus he said:
1--WE should do what our
forefathers did. They got
along well enough with much
less than we have now. You
cannot get me to agree to
any system in this country
which will in any way de-
prive the people, the cities
and the States of self-reli-
ance. What we need is
something to restore the
courage of the people to
shift for themselves. "
Of course he did not mean
to be brutal, but we never
have read a more brutal
statement. Our forefathers
never faced any such con-
dition as this today. With
many millions refused rhr
right to work it is not a
matter of getting along
with less than we have
now" but of getting along
with nothing. And it is
sheer impudence of the most
cynical sort for the Admin
istration's spokesman to tell
men who have been jobless
for one, two and three years,
who have daily looked for
work, have begged for
work, that they must have
the courage to shift for
themselves. "
Here stands a man with
children in his home who
are in desperate need, say
ing to America:
II need work. I want
work. Give me work"
And the Administrations
spokesman replies with a
contemptuous fling:
"Have you got no cour-
age? No self-reliance? Why
don't you shift for your
self?"
Perhaps most of us lack
the mental agility to follow
the mental processes of Mr..
Hurley-but, honestly, is
there any sense in Mr.. Hur-
ley's ieer at the ioblessi

A Mockery of
Human Misery

Thus several measures are
now pending for unemploy-
ment relief, and none even
approximate the original
figures asked. AS the pro-
cession of the dispossessed
lengthens our statesmen see
clearly that the need is less
1t may seem stupid and short
sighted reasoning, but the
fact remains. SO the Ad-
ministration bill has now
been whitfield down to $780,
100000 for everything. OF
course, that would not be a
drop in the bucket. With
a full appreciation of the
danger of extreme state
ments in these days of gen.
eral discomfort and loss of
confidence in government,
we cannot think of this pro-
posal as anything other
than a mockery of human
misery.
Only an adequate pros
perity loan can put enough
men to work and restore
enough purchasing power to
revive domestic trade, and
the idea seems hateful to
the nations leaders. The
danger is that the nation s
leaders may become hate
full to the 36,OO0,OOO, now
admittedly involved directly
or indirectly in unemploy-
ment.

Word of Warning Issued to Motorists at Close
 of Vacation
NEED OF EXTRA CARE

With children returned to daily traffic as regular participants, now that vacation pursuits are put off for the winter of work at school, motor vehicle operators shoold in-. crease their vigilance, Robbins B. Stoeckel, commissioner of motor vehicles, says. Tt seems a part of wisdom" he declares, Ito call at- tention to the need for extra eau tion at this time.
 'It is usually the practice, and rightly 50, that when the operator of a car sees a child he becomes immediately, often unconsciously more alert. On the other hand, 1t is also the case that a child, through experience, when he sees an automobile, is more alert than when he is alone on the road.
 Tt is apparent, however, that where condition, which has ceas- ed to exist for a moderately long time. is reproduced, at once two factors must reappear to a greater degree to meet each situation as 1t presents itselfl. It must be im- pressed upon the child at once that he Is more apt to be distracted from proper traffic performance when travelling ina group with others than when alone; the motor vehicle operator must not fail to look out for the condition of mind which may be present among chill dren and guard himself against any habits he may have formed to be less cautious during the school vacation period.
 "The hours when children go to and from school are we'll known. The locations of schools Are well marked. Every operator who travels during the day knows he must exercise more watchfulness and care during the times when schools are in session than other wise at those places It is hoped that by calling this pointedly to the attention of the state at large. at least some distressing accidents which ordinarily occur about this time of year may be avoided.
 "The little brothers of man, the dogs and cats and all of the wild animals ought to be regarded with extreme thought. In every instance wher ea dependent being is upon the highway great care is not only the moral duty of the motor vehi- cle operator but his legal duty as we'll"

Jail Sentence
 for Carthy
Sentenced in Middlet0wn Yesterday on Bigamy
 Charge

Joseph Mulcahy. 8 former resi- dent of Waterbury, was sentenced to serve 10 months in jail yesterday after pleading guilty to the charge of bigamy. He was sentenced by Judge P. B. O'Sullivan in the su- perior court at Middletown.
 Mulcahy resided in this city for over 26 years. He claims that he was first married when he was 16 years of age. He disappeared about seven years ago without notifying his wife or any member of his fam- fly. Mrs Mulcahy by chance visited Middletown on the occasion of a Washington bicentennial parade last February and observed her husband marching with a labor or ganization. When he was arrested 1t was discovered that he had mar ried Middletown woman in 1929, without attempting. to obtain di- vorce.
 Mulcahy was arrested two months ago and has since been confined in the Haddam jail awaiting trial.
