Lower Pay for Orators

From all indications there will be gen eral reduction in federal salaries within the next few months. Congressional action IS anticipated before this month has passed. Whether it will be along the lines proposed by Senators Borah, Couzens or Representa- tive Wood remains to be seen. l hat IS matter to be threshed out in Congress. But the fact remains that working majority in the House of Representatives IS prepared to vote favorably on measure to cut its own salaries and to follow this up with general reduction in the pay of all federal employees From this we conclude that the postal employes will likewise be included which news will be disheartenng after the ;. fight that has been carried on for years to bring salaries in this government department to an equitable level.
 In general the proposal will be well taken We have heard it said on all sides that wage reductions are not wise moves. Yet We note on every side of us that even the biggest of industries are curtailing in just this fashion Employes are being forced to take wage cuts ranging from five per cent up to as high as 50 per cent in some instances Probably the assumption is that. if the buying power of the dollar is greater today then it will take fewer dollars to make both ends meet Unfortunately the fat years have not dls- posed us kindly towards lean living. In the United States, the world for that matter, the scale of living has advanced. It is hard to lower it, although we are forced to do so
 I cent salary reduction for those above S5,OOO per annum; , per cent cut for the S2,0O0 to S5,OOO class Salaries below S200O would not be affected. Senator Borah's plan is to give employees in the S5,000 to S7,000 class a 6 per cent cut; S7,OOO to S10,00O gets 0 per cent cut; above SlO0O0 members of Congress and Cabinet officers, 20 per cent. It would result in far greater savings than Representative Woods save Uncle Sam something like S225,0 900 year, which is quite a saving in these perilous times. Undoubtedly Congress will agree on medium between the two pro- posals.
 We can see easy sailing for the plan to cut the congressional payroll. That would be the magnanimous thing to do in an cleo ton year, not to mention being quite prac- tieal and assuring present members of pay in the future. But when it comes down to extending the pay cuts to the civilian branches, the Army. Navy, and Marine Corps, as we'll as those on the retired lists, well, there will be plenty of violent opposi- ton. It'll pass though. That's the way things are in Washington today - critical. And if they aren't just as critical in Oshkosh or Kenncbunkport, we miss our guess. The pity it is we listened to those republican spinners of tales couple of years back. Reforms initiated then would be bringing us around the corner today. Well, we won't listen with rapt expression around the glls any more.

Tyrannical Taxes

Congress votes an income tax applying to residents of the District of Columbia. and local citizens object that it places a double tax burden on them. They also maintain that it is un just because they are taxed with out having any vote or anything to say about the government.
 This is the truth as every school child knows The District of Columbia, though benefitting in many ways from being cared for by the federal government IS ruled like subject province We may expect an army of citizens to march on the Capitol some day. declaring like the revolutionary forefathers that taxation without represen tation is tyranny" and refusing to pay taxes until they are given their civic rights

ment in Europe, except that while extension of the Hoover morator- ium is supposed to have saved Ger many and Central Europe from finencial collapse, no such aid was given the South American repub- lies. It Is generally agreed that post war Germany was enabled to pay her reparations only through post war borro wing, largely from this country, and that reparations pro- vided the war debt payments to this country. The thought that we have been both paying off Europe's debts to us and that we must also Lay for the goods other nations habe bought and consumed seems slightly disconcertlng.

recently sent out by the Women's Organization for National Prohibit tion Reform. our Connecticut rep resentatives in congress immediate ly expressed their willingness to submit the question of national prohibition to conventions of the people in the several states. This questionnaire was sent to the 531 members of the 72nd congress, of whom 259 have already replied in the affirmative.
 Because of the growing interest in the question of national prohibi- tion as policy. the Women's Or ganiZation for National Prohibition Reform, with the cooperation of the Association Against the Pro- hibition Amendment and the Cru saders, Is holding a non-partisan rally at the Bushnell Memorial in Hartford next week, to present this most important question.
 At the meting there will be both republicans and democrats. on the platform and the citizens of Con- necticut will have an opportunity to hear the prohibition issue pre- sented without regard for party politics.

Out in Carlton, Minnesota, man was just declared insane because he insisted upon running for president of the United States. Not that such an action is sign of insanity, although there are many who might claim it to be in these narrowing times. However, he sent in his name for Ohio and New Hampshire primaries and gave radio talk at Duluth. He is lumber mill employe, so alienists investigated and found him fit subject for the state insane asylum.
