A Novel Relief Plan

It remained for Boston man to suggest one of the most novel relief plans yet pro- posed. H. P. Faxon of well known Boston firm is author of the plan which involves state aid for our towns and cities just as Uncle Sam is now preparing to aid all states. It will be miniature Recon struetion Finance Corporation. as Mir Faxon explains it. However. the similarity ends with this explanation so far as we can see Undoubtedly it would create means of pro- viding state aid for municipalities without adopting a strict dole plan.
 The scheme is this. A tax title corpora ton would be created with power to pur chase from any distressed town or city title to property upon which taxes remain un- paid. These naturally constitute an entry on the debit side of the ledger. But if they were bought by the corporation they could be erased. The duration of the tax title cor poration would be limited to at least five years and would be managed by capable directors named by the governor. Titles to property that might be abandoned by the owners would not be considered, the diree- tors retaining discretionary power to take or buy as they thought best.
 It is the claim of Mir Faxon that the cor poration would be self-supportng and might even return a profit through differences in interest rates. Within the period of incor- poration it would also be self-lquidating. Owners of property whose tax titles had been taken over could make their own terms of adjustment with the corporation and end that arrangement whenever the state of their financial affairs permitted it. By doing away with delinquent taxes it is believed that municipal burdens would be sonsidefably lessened thus enabling a town to keep its books balanced much easier.
 The idea seems too visionary to be prac- tical There must be more obstacles than those Mir Faxon turns aside so easily. We don't know what the legal status of the tax payer would be in the transaction whereby he found himself obligated not to the city but to state commission. but certainly he might we'll find himself able to involve the corporation in legal difficulties if necessary. If it would do all Mr Faxon claims with a minimum of trouble and expense it would De universally adopted. But until some state has tried it out few are apt to experi. ment. It's hard enough to collect back taxes iet alone handing them over to a col. lection agency which the proposed corpora. ton clearly resembles

stocks advance moderately. This encourages railroad executives makes zIl investors in railroad securities feel little better. and ofkeu more hope of railroad buying of new supplies and equipment in the near future.
 It is realized. however. by railroad opsr- ators and finaneiers, that consummstion of the merger plans at this time is very diff cult. The old valuations are useless. The prices most railroad stocks are bringing in the market bear little relations to their nor nal or actual value. There is no dependable basis for transfers of railroad property. Some needed units may be bought up now at bar gain prices, but the actual mergers as a whole. may have to wait for better times.
 As matters stand, many observers think it is toss-up whether the railroads will re- turn to their normal status. as privately owned properties operated under government control. or whether further federal loans and hard luck will bring them eventually under public ownership as well as control. This uncertainty may prevent bold, constructive private action for some time.

Tunney For What?

Somebody is quite anxious to force James J. (Gene) Tunney, former worlds heavy weight boxing champion, Into the ring once again. this time as champ:on of the demo- cratic party in Connecticut politics. Having established the fact that he is legal resident of Connecticut and will be made voter in Greenwich this year. Mir Tunney is now eli- gible for public office. At least that IS what we are told by various citizens inter- ss.ed in the public career of the budding politician. No doubt many of the reports have been given impetus by kind republi- cans who would wish nothing better than to have Mr Tunney seek some office far beyond his present reach. We say present" advisedly. We imagine the day may come when Mir Tunney can aspire to the highest political honors without seeking the aid of any organization.
 For the present. though, we would rec ommend to democrats who take Mir Tun- neys chances of securing political office ser- icusly that they advance his career slowly and patiently Why make him candidate for the United States Senate without an apprenticeship? If we were advising Mr Tunney on political career. we should advise him to seek honors in his chosen home town. Greenwich. If the democrats of that town wish to send him to the Legs- lature. he would be in for such lesson in politics that it is the experience of few men to attain. We can think of no better school of political knowledge than the Con- nectieut General Assembly.
 It isn't fair to deserving democrats of the state who have lived here all their lives and had the interests of the party at heart all this time to be sheved in favor of new conner who boasts of good manners, wealth. and much publcized past record. We don't think that even Mir Tunney would care to push his way past those who are as deserving or much more SO than he of re- ceiving political favors in the way of nomi- nation. Personally we doubt if Mir Tunney is as available for public office as so many people. both democrats and republicans. seem to regard him. To our way of think ing he is an earnest young man who would like to carve out public career. but not by having it thrust upon him in abrupt fashion. Having relinquished his fighting crown vol- untarily. let's not force another one upon his brow too suddenly.

A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION
Hubby Strays, Wife Decides
 She Will, Too

The single standard of morality for husbands and wives, which permits the little woman to kick
 her dainty heels over the traces
 just as often as her helpmeet does,
 has caused lot of discussion in the last few years and will prob- ably cause a lot more before we're through with 1t. It has also served as the theme for "The Marriage
 Rite" new novel by Evans Wall. MT Walls heroine is the young
 wife of young southern business man. Married four years, and quite contended with everything, she discovers one day that her hls-
 band has been doing a bit of phi- landering.
 Her first impulse is to act the part of the abused wife and create a. fine scene. But first she seeks counsel with her doctor. who is also youngish sort of chap, and he advises her to act on the the- ory that what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander; and presently the lady is doing
 some experimenting on her own
 hook, and liking 1t. In the end, MT Evans has all of this tie the marriage together on Ia much more secure basis. I think he wrenches his story just as q trifle to reach the desired conclu- sion; you can hear the creak of the tiller, toward the end, as he puts his helm hard over to make port; but he does provide an in- telligent discussion of the problem
 ,and his story Is Interesting enough to hold your attention to the end. even if the nobility displayed by all hands as they vow eternal cloy-
 ing. ~.

Hint of Third Party
 Some of the minor leaders think the best thing to do or the thing Waters is plotting Is the formation of third party. There is some in- dication that Waters has that in mind.
 Pace wants to demonstrate before the White House until Hoover calls congress back into session. Robert son is vague. One of the principal B. E. F. leaders has said he regards the group as shock troops here to help the government repel @ likely invasion of Washington by unem- ployed persons inspired by the Reds"
 Waters says the B. E. F. idea has expanded into a movement on be- half of all the unemployed and that his organization will be instru- mental in a governmental "house- cleaning"
 ''It is openly opposed to the pres- ent un-American rule by a favored few" he says. All men and women who are genuinely American will find a comforting welcome in this great folk movement. From all parts of the country they will come from all the trades and the pro- fessions."
 Waters may not always have his feet on the ground, but he has his dreams.
 Washington Wonders
 Meanwhile thousands of Wash ingtonians whose duties don't make the bonus army a source of worry have gone slightly dotty over the fascination of the spectacle.
 They follow every development feverishly, debate the internal poli- tics of the army, take sides be- tween the leaders, prowl through the camps and discuss the situation excitedly at their own three meals A day.

THE COURANT ADVISES THE
 c. o. F.
Bridgeport Times-star)

Bridgeport Times Starr
 The Hartford Courant, leading republican newspaper in Connec- ticut, has just made an editorial plea for the formation of a strong republican state ticket this fall.
 It comedies that Connecticut must be regarded as in the doubt full class so far as the presidential election is concerned, although, discussing President Hoover, it states that thoughtful voters be- lieve that he has met the crisis as q man should meet it, with pa tience and fortitude, that he has shown himself to be resourceful, and that he has dealt courageous ly with a number of very difficult questions"
 But, The Courant believes, ''vot- ing is seldom dictated by reason; 1t is commonly governed by pas- sions and prejudices."
 The Courant then goes on, ap. parently, to advocate selection of a state republican ticket which will appeal to passions and pre- judices' in such a manner as to swing the state for Hoover, It de- nies the voting public intelligence in one breath, and in the next de- mands the selection of guber- material candidate who twill not only strike the popular fancy but be recognized as man of sterling worth"
 The vagaries of The Courant, however. are no more amusing than those of any other editorial me- alum which devotes itself unre. servedly to the support of any one political party.
 What The Courant has done is admit, in frank fashion, the diffl- culty which IS confronting the re- publican organization in Connec- ticut this year, and endeavor to advise the party as to the best so- lution of it's problem.
 President Hoover fs not, it is admitted, . strong drawing card in Connecticut. As The Courant observes, the best way for the rec publican leadership to carry the state for him is to put a strong state ticket in the field. The only thing really in the way of the suc- cess of such move js the hne standing of Governor Wilbur l. Cross. himself as strong q candi- date as any state political party can hope to have and likely again this fall. no matter, who the cam dfdate against him, to enjoy the support ofs independent elements in the state.
