MILWAUKEE ALMOST UNIQUE
(Hartford Times)

So common is the fact Of cities
finding themselves in fiscal distress
that municipalities like Rocky
Mount, North Carolina, and like
Milwaukee, which closed the year
with q balance of $3,175,000, be-
come something to marvel at. In
cidentally the latter city is receiv-
ing much curious attention as to
how It is done. To begin with, Mil
waukee Is not politics-ridden. 1t
has a socialist mayor and q non
partisan council. Its chief issue Is
business management of municipal
affairs.
One reason for Milwaukee's
favorable cash position Is Its policy
of collecting ample taxes before
they are needed. In part this Is
done by offering q 2 per cent dis
count for advance payments and
partly by setting the due-date for
taxes early in the budget year.
Also, an ample tax rate is levied so
that there need be no borrowing
in anticipation Of taxes nor a
deficit at the end Of the year. The
tax rate at present ID 26 mills.
Milwaukee escapes heavy inter-
est charge by keeping its indebted
ness down. A pay-as-you-go policy

LOOKED FOR WORST

There were those who feared
that Mr. Hoover had been kicking
himself for unwittingly creating
that majority and when Holmes re-
signed they groaned and looked
forward to the worst.
It seemed to them too much to
expect that q man Of the Holmes
type would get the job. They
thought they knew Mr. Hoover too
we'll for that. Nevertheless, they
were vociferous for the appoint
ment of Cardozo. Their case was
Strengthened, OF course, by the fact
that Cardozo was widely recognized
as q Judge of extraordinary ability
and mentality who had the pro-
found respect Of nearly everyone.
Nevertheless, there were plenty
of conservatives from whom to
chos and Hoover could have over
looked Cardozo and used the handy
excuse that three justices from
New York state would have been
too many. Instead, he appointed
Cardozo and liberals have Joined
conservatives in loud cheers.

Washington-Pres Hoover
has preserved the so-called liberal
majority in the United States su-
preme court. Considering the cor
dial dislike which most progress
sives hold for him and the fact
that he has long since been gen.
orally classed as q conservative,
the Hoover record in regard to that
majority is most extraordinary.
Hoover built 1t. Not without some
fumbling, especially when he upn-
dertook to wish Judge John ]. Par
ker on the court and was baked
by the senate. But he has had three
supreme court vacancies to fill and
the mep who fill those vacancies
now have the virtually unanimous
approval of the country.
Especially does their performance
delight the liberals, who never
dreamed that the president would
make three appointments each of
which was essential to the estab-
lishment OF the five to four "liber-
al majority"
That majority, with the appoint
ment Of Justice Benjamin N. Car
dozo to secceed Oliver Wendell
Holmes, consists of Hughes, Cardo-
20, Brandies, Roberts and Stone.

HUGHES FOOLS SENATE

Hughes, you remember, was the
object Of q furious attack from the
senate progressives when he was
appointed chief Justice to succeed
the very conservative Taft.
Twenty-six senator's voted against
his nomination and he was assailed
as a reactionary and O professional
servant Of powerful corporations.
But to everybody's surprise 1t turn
cd out that the Hughes appoint
ment had been the keystone in
building the new liberal majority"
On social and economic issues
he was found more often than not
riding along on the same opinions
with Holmes, Brandeis and Stone,
sometimes ever writing them him
self.
Then Hoover nominated Parker.
The senate, however, rectified what
it considered the presidents slip.
Fl thereupon appointed owen J.
Roberts to the vacancy and as
soon as Roberts got to functioning
with the other eight Justices the
libertls found themselves whoop-
ing about the new liberal major
ity."

favorably. If the state board of finance and

left to be done but decide in what way we

ton Finance Corporation has opened

duct, SIS miles Of buried concrete pip

road and l02 miles Of secondary high
ways, 180 miles of temporary water
