Business and Government

A congressional inquiry into government in business. now under way. brings some interesting results. In recent session one of the witnesses was an Indiana manufac- turer who as representative of the United States Chamber of Commerce. had helped make national survey of government com petition with private business.
 We on the committee were alarmed" he said. that the thing not only had grown but was still growing. We were impressed with the danger of the situation. We felt 1t was taking away from the people the ideals of the founders of the republic ideals such as individual responsibility and the prin- eiple of decentralization of power. feel that it has been weakening tine fiber of our people. If person gets into jam now. he is taught to go to Washington and see if some one can't help him out of the jam. Congress has taught our people to look to Washington"
 One of the eongressmen in charge of the inquiry resented the criticism and came back at the critic with this statement: When I went back to Washington recent ly, after an absence of some time, saw new buildings everywhere. I knew Washington wasnV business town. What were the buildings for? Every business organization maintains lobby there. Hobbies to stampede Congress. get tired and sick of the prop agandized telegrams these organizations send to Congress We're ruled in Congress by organized minorities
 Both critics seem to be right. The gov- ernment does get more and more into busi- ness. and probably lot of its activity is not good for business; but certainly lot of that paternalistic activity is given because bus. mess asks for it. The most remarkable recent example is the general dispensing of financial credit by the government to banks. railroads and other institutions If this procedure lasted few years longer, the government would dominate all our finance.

PROGRESS ON THE LYTroN
 REPORT
(Hartford Courant)

one stage in the negotiations concerning Manchuria has passed with no greater display of fire works than the shower of sparks at the opening meeting of the council of the league of nations, when Japan's able representative. MT Matsuoka, presented his gov ernment's observations on the Lyt- ton report. Although he made g flat denial of the conclusions of the commission of inquiry. when Lord Lytton, It's chairman, was called before the council to see if he wanted to make any additions to the report, he answered in the negative. putting the, commission on record as unchanged in opinion since the report left it's hands in Peiping last September.
 The council then transmitted the report to the assembly of the league, Mir Matsu0ka ohjectink on the ground that the council which ordered the inquiry made should deal with the report, although the real reason for Japanese reluctance to see this change is thought t0 be the possibility of the small nations demanding action to set precedents to protect them from strong neigh bors. He did not push the objec- tion and only made the reservation that the report should not be con- sidered under those paragraphs of Article XIV which would lead to i'm vocation of military and economic sanctions.
 The assembly has been called for December 6, and it's committee of nineteen for next Thursday. Pr0ce- dure has not yet been announced, but 1t is widely held that . com mittee' of conciliation will be ap- pointed to reach a settlement of the eontroversy. Whether this committee will be the committee of nineteen, augmented by repre- sentatiyes of the United States and of the Union of Social Soviet Re- publics, is subject of speculation. It is thought that the Kremlin would welcome such an arrange ment. but 1t is questioned whether the United States would go 50 far in committing itself. Mir Norman Davis who is in Geneva as a repre- sentative of the administration has, however, had frequent friendly conferences with MT Matsuoka and | all indications are now for patience, delay. negotiation and further negotiation and more natience in | the hope that an agreement on
 Manchuria may be reached peace- ably.

Christmas Seals First!

Two plump and jolly little children. ap- parently singing Christmas carols at the top of their voices make the picture on this years Christmas Seals. They bring smile to the observer. It is to be hoped they will bring many dollars to the Anti-Tubereulosis League. comprising some 1000 local or ganizations working in different states and cities to check this disease. The seals as usual. sell for penny apiece. or as much more as any individual purchaser wants to pay. Used on the backs of Christmas let- ters or packages they help to familiarize the public with the Leagues existence and it's purpose.
 Opening this years Christmas Seal sale. President Hoover said: For twenty-five years the National Tuberculosis Association and its affiliated units have been fighting tuberculosis. Today they begin their an- nual appeal for support through the medium of the Christmas seal sale. The funds ob- tained finance a program of clinics. nursing service. preventoria. research and education. T commend this work to the American public as worthy of generous support. Tu- bereulosis despite the steady gains that have been made against it. is still one. if not indeed the first. of our major public health problems. Let the Christmas Seals be the first item on the holiday shopping list.

Coffee Trees

Brazil for years has been worse of with coffee. her principal export crop than we have been with wheat. In the last year more than l0,O0O,ooO bags have been burned or otherwise removed from the market" :" Yet stocks have continued increasing. It is just as we'll that the Brazilian government. acting on the advice of the national Coffee Coun- cil. has forbidden the planting of any more coffee trees during the next three years. By that time the surplus may be worked off. es- peeially if the country is fortunate enough to have bad crop or two.
 Even bad coffee crops, however may be offset by an increase of beer consumption in this country-now the greatest coffee con- sumner. Substitution of beer for coffee may benefit our farmers little, at the expense of Brazil's.

Washington. The sales tax probably will provide a more bit- terly fought issue in the short ses- sion of congress than it did in the long sessions, when the house of representatives rebelled against its leaders and said it wasn't having any.
 One thing seems rather certain: We are going to have either fed eral sales tax or a federal beer tax.
 The condition of the treasury, which faces deficit of between one and two billion dollars for the fiscal year despite the new taxes and economies imposed at the last session, guarantees that. If a se- rious attempt is made to balance the budget 1t Is quite within the realm of possibility that we will be having both beer tax and sales tax.
 The outlook is cloudeds now be- cause, although the last congress voted against both beer and the sales tax, it is too early to be able to tell how many members who would otherwise vote against beer would still prefer beer and a tax on 1t to sales tax and how many who abhor the sales tax proposal would still prefer it to a legaliza- tion of beer.
 In all probability the sales tax fight wifi develop into a bitter struggle between the progressives and the conservatives, the former seeking desperately to retain the anti-sales tax strnegth of last ses- sion.
 But the party leaders are ex- pected to stand predominantly for the sales levy. The demo- cratic house leaders sponsored it at the last session and since that time President Hoover also has recommended it. Quite a few important figures who are wor- ried about federal finances appear to have been weakening in their opposition.
 If President Roosevelt de- clares for the sales tax we prob ably will have it, so great will his influence be on so many democratic members. But it's advocates are likely to have tough time smok- ing the governor out on any such controversial point.
 Despite his budget balancing promises, he is not technically responsible for anything that hap pens before his inauguration, and he would be the last man to iden-

Right In The Neck

Motorists are always source of additional revenue when state decides that its treas ury needs replenishing. Some states simply increase their tax on gasoline and reap the harvest this way. Others are more cireun- spect and announce a revision of existing taxes on motor vehicles and operators The result is always the same. The motor car owner pays more and the state IS able to pay off debts incurred. not in creating better highways. but perhaps in erecting public buildings. etc. Connecticut has usually given the motorist a fair deal. but if t puts across the latest proposal of the State Board of Finance, it will do more harm than good to our way of thinking
 Some weeks back Governor Cross and Commissioner Hail of the State Board of Finance and Control announced that the state would have a $7,000,000 deficit at the end of the fiscal year in June, l933. Two years from that time the deficit threat ensd to jump as high as Sl5,000.000 the state officials predicted Now it is proposed to obtain the money to offset this deficit through the Motor Vehicle Department. A one cent increase in the gasoline tax seems imminent even though the plan above is not adopted Every effort has been made of recent years to jump the gasoline tax sky ward We don't know why the state solons don t let well enough alone.
 States that have experimented with in creased gasoline taxes have learned to their sorrow that they aren't as productive as might be estimated on paper. Additional revenue is apt to be spent in curbing gaso- line bootlegging, racket that is now spread ing through every state in the Union where high gasoline taxes are levied. It will hit Connecticut once it begins to get out of the fwo-cent tax class. which just now is the lowest in the land and by far the fairest to all concerned, the state and the motorist. We have consistently pointed out that Con- nccticut in her unique position of low taxa ticn on gasoline is free from many evils that increased taxes with no higher receipts would bring.
 of registration fees may be changed once again, SO that they won't be based on pis- ton displacement. Cars would be classi- fled into four groups. And heres the joker. According to present preliminary plans the registration fees would be decreased This decrease is to be made up by the one-cent increase in the gasoline tax. If 1t is. we'll be the most surprised person in the state. If the Motor Vehicles Department has surplus funds that can't be used for such projects as the Merritt Highway then they should be turned into the states general fund from which it is now revealed, the Motor Veh- ele Department has received millions of dol lars since 1921.

THE CONTEST FOR THE
 SPEAKERSHIP
(Hartford Courant)

The contest among the demo- crats in the house of representa- tiyes for the honor of succeeding Speaker Garner promises to be not only prolonged but lively. At pres ent, MT Garner does not plan to relinquish his post until the last moment before taking the oath as vice president. so that his successor will not be chosen until the first session of the seventy-third con- gress opens. but already a num-
 Der of aspirants have appeared, and the number may be augmented in the future. The latest to enter the lists is MT MacDuffie of Ala 'bama, and two others from the south. MT Rankin of Mississippi and MT Byrns of Tennessee, alsu seek the post.
 An unusual factor in the pres ent situation is that, in the seventy third congress, the democrats from the south will not be in the major ity. The success of MT Roosevel. in the north and west resulted in the election of an unusual number of democrats to congress from sections that have chosen few in the past, with the result that they outnumber the southern democrats by nearly hundred. The situation would seem favorable to democrats from the other sections, and two candidates from outside the south have already offered themselves. MT Rainey of Illinois and MT O'Connor of New York. A member of Tammany Hall, MT ,OConnor may have become a candidate for trading purposes, but MT Rainey, who is the leader of the majority at the present time, is a formidable
 candidate, who, if he can unite the
 democrats outside the south in his support, could easily win.
 In order to minimize sectional ism as an issue, Mir MacDuffie, thought to be the choice of MT Garner, has announced that in the event of his election as speaker he would appoint steering commit tee including representatives of all sections to guide him in his de- cisions.. The steering committee was. a favorite device of Nicholas Longworth during his career as speaker, and with a majority so great as to be unwieldy in the seventy-third congress, it's revival might make for. legislative effi- ciency on the part of the demo- crats. As matters stand now, the contest would seem to lie between Mir MacDuffie and Mir Rainey, but the coming season may develop still other candidates.

Was This Job Bungled

The failure of the State Board of Elec- tions. consisting of the republican Secretary of State, the republican State Treasurer. and the republican State Comptroller. to certify the election of a democratic state senator in the 2lst district is badly diseolored by other factors in connection with the recent session of these eanvassers. In the first place their official returns. supposedly authentic were found to contain an error by the Hart ford Courant While this error did not change the status of the election one whit, it simply proved that even an official board of eanvassers can be in error There is no disputing the error It is there for every body to see.
 Nor can anyone dispute the fact that even republicans are not showing excitement over the failure of the board to certify one duly elected senator. Under normal conditions such an action might be a cause for jubila- ton as well as reorganization, inasmueh as the decision on the winner in this particular district will mean control of the state sem ate for either major political party. Perhaps the mere fact that circumstances surround ing the entire case are apt to lead to false impressions causes g.o.p. officials to with hold comment. Certainly it seems bit irregular for as important session, as this one of the canvassers proved to be, to be held in the home of one of the members.
 With all due respect to the three members of the election board and to the party they represent we say that the case might not have attracted so much attention and un- favorable comment had it been conducted at the State Capitol. The failure to certify the democratic victor in the 2lst district { Ca part of Bridgeport was due, so the off cials explained. to the fact that the defeated republican candidate has instituted manda- mus proceedings. The margin of victory was 25 votes. Perhaps it should be con- tested but it must be pointed out that in Bridgeport's other two senatorial districts democrats were elected. It seems logical to believe the remaining district might also show some slight democratic tendencies.
 We think that the court will find that the records are correct in this district and that 25 votes will be as good as 25,000 so far as democratic victory is concerned. But we aren't so sure that the three election off cials. who also in the midst of their official duties certified to the election of two of their number to new offices will fare so well in public esteem. People are apt to point out that they were the men who couldn't cefti-

Continuing the discussion of Senator elect McAdoo's amazing about-faee man euver on the wet and dry issue we'd like to quote few sentences from the letter he sent to Speaker and Vice -president-elect Garner this week, He said in part, California is greatly concerned about light wines Basic ally this is an agricultural question because grape growing is the second largest agricul- tute enterprise in California :. There fore Mir MeAdoo must do all in his power for the state that is enabling him once more to enter into the spirit of Washngtons official life. But let us read on . The grape industry has suffered terribly for years and has now reached point where it is al- most in extreme :. = But what about Mrs Mabel Walker Willebrandt We thught this enterprising lady had rescued the California grape growers from serious plight by mak- ing it legal for them to market fruit juices that were capable of fermentation after purchase. Formidable opposition will be raised to the beer bill if light wines are not included in it. I see no reason why they should not be. in view of the pledge in the Democratic platform. <. :" This is Mr Me Adoo speaking again. Personally we agree with light wines and beer on the same plat form. As we have stated before they can't be separated But we smile at Mir MeAdoo's earnest efforts to get on the wine cart.

Lincoln's Wife Mentally
 Ill, Says Sandburg

The Civil War produced few stranger figures than Mary Lin- coin. Abraham Lincoln's wife.
 She was perhaps the most un- popular first lady" the land ever had. She was popularly supposed to be vain, extravagant, g shrewd- ish social climber; she had three ha,f-brothers in the Confederate army, and at one time she was even accused of being a Confed- eraterspy. That she had a vio- lent temper and frequently unload- ed 1t on Lincoln in public was common Knowledge.
 The first really sympathetic and careful study of this unhappy woman is provided now, by Carl Sandburg, in Mary Lincoln: Wife and Widow; and in this book MT Sandburg sets forth bluntly the fact that Mrs Lincoln suffered from a progressive disease of the brain which finally robbed her of her reason.
 MT Sandburg cites doctors post t-mortem examination to SUD- port this statement. He reminds us that Mrs Lincoln, 10 years af- ter the war, was confined for a year in an asylum, that she suf- fered delusions of persecution. and that she bewailed her poverty In spite of the fact that President Lincoln left her an estate Of ap- proximately $l00,00.
 But his study is sympathetic one. By revealing the womari's handicap he makes possible a kinder and juster appreciation of her than has yet been given.
 Published by Harcourt, Brace & company. the book costs $3. It's important collection of documents was edited by Paul M. Angle.

tify himself with any cause which he might fear would prove gen. erally unpopular.
 Also. Roosevelt is definitely committed to the beer tax, and although he will not be technis cally responsible for action on it in the coming session. 1t hardly seems likely that he would throw his pre-inauguration influence be- hind the sales tax without de- manding beer tax as well.
 Congressmen LaGuardia of New York and Doughton of North Carolina, respectively the progress sive republican and insurgent democratic heroes of the sales tax revolt in the first session, will be on the job again this winter.
 indications that the full progress sive strength will be thrown against the proposal are seen in Senator Boraf's recent promise to fight it to the last ditch.
 He suggests in preference a bond issue-which would violate the current theory of budget ball ancing-or a $300,0O0,000 cut in 'army-navy appropriations.
 And, although he is the last big congressional figure still mili- tant for prohibition and is espe- cially opposed to beer, he says he would prefer '.any other alterna- tive' to the sales tax.
 The progressives, who gener- ally favor higher taxes on inheri- tances and large incomes, have just received some solid. support in the promise of the American Federation of Labor to flight as never before" to prevent any at- tempt in congress, through the sales tax, to transfer the burden of taxation from the wealth of the nation to the masses of the people,"
