 Waghington.--We come again Co the point whcrc the relations be- tween Tammnny Hall and Cover. nor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York thrctaen to become matter of large general interest pending the selection of the next dcmocra- tic nominee for the presidency. In tho last year there have been other occasions when the governors foes and various by. islanders began to shout that the governor was at n crossroads where he must make q critical decision between defying Tam. many and bidding for It's support by trucking to It.
 But despite the evidence Of graft turned up by the Seabury committee in New York and Rooscvelts dismissal of one, Tam many official, he has not yet como to the point where be had to choose between the bitetr en- mity of Tammany and the chance of losing support through the country by an exhibition of po- liticai cowardicc. Thus far he has been able to pursue q middle course. without siaHhing at the machine with any unnecessary vigar or lowing too obviously be- fore it.
 Scabury's stand
 The Issue may not ever become so cicancut as 10 face Roosevelt with n vital dilemma. but there arc two factors which impress some political observers who be-
 First. there is Samuel Sea- bury himself. the chief investiga- tor of Tammnny. Senbury has in- dicated that he thinks Roosevelt has been pussyfooting on the graft issue and there has been some suspicion that he would be likely to burst out publicly with his feelings in advance of the conventUin. Lately there have been reports thnt Scnbury would recommend to Roosevelt the re. moval of New York's mayor Jimmy Walker.
 The other factor is tho In. crensing doubt whether Roose- welt can be nominated at Chicago without the 90 votes of New York which arc expected to be cast nf unit under the direction oi Tammnny'H chief, John r. Curry If Roosevelt were not certain Of those % delegates he would bc reasonably sure of the nomlnn- ltlon. If they are cnst against him the going is likely to be rough. If not impossible.
 A Delicate situation
 There have been some distinct indicationg that Curry was more favorable 'to Roosevelt than to Al smith, the mninstay of the stop Roosevelt combination. But he is Infinitely more partial to Tnm- nanny Hall and n prcsidcnttnl nomination means nothing to Tam many's leaders as compared with their local position in New York city, +.
 And innBmuch ns Smith could do the Orga nizntoin considerable harm if he were 10 go nfter it in New York city fight. Tammnny has reason not to be too cnthuai- natic about supporting Roosevelt while he has smiths bitter politi- cni cnmity.
 Hence the delicate political situ. ntion which will arise for Roosevelt if Henbury demands removal 0i Walker. The importance of tho ls- sue would be best measured by tho weight of evidence which Senbury assemblies behind tho request. Other demands for Walkers removal mnAc by private citizens. have been

Pensions For Votes

be national House of Representatives, Tn it's eargerness to spend taxpayers money. has taken another blind plunge into pit of expenditure whence no one can see the way out and seems 10 think it has done very fine 40 minutes work. This pit is another adventure in war pensions Three new classes of pensioners are provided: First. widows of men who were in the army for 90 days who have married the veterans at least five years before their death and have net income, besides earnings. of less than $250 a year; second, the children of such
 veterans up to l6 years old or marriage, who lack an income of S400 a year: third. children of such veterans mentally or phys iealy defective and incapable of support, who would draw pensions for their lifetime.
 The pensions granted are small - now. But Snch pensions, it may be remembered, never shrink; they always grow larger These grants are in addition to provisions already existing which take care of veterans disabled by military service, veterans dis abed since tbc war of other reasons widows of veterans killed in the war or dying since from war causes and to large and growing extent for the families of veterans disabled for reasons having no connection with their military service.
 This new measure. il is roughly est- mated, would cost an average of not less than $l00 000 900 year for two or three generations. Any man who wore the army uniform for as much as 90 days though he never was under fire or even sick in comp, and benefited perhaps as much from his serv- ice as jf be had been q volunteer in a sum mer training camp, may in his old age marry d young woman, who thereby will be eligible for such pension all her lfe with corresponding pension tights for her children. If the bill passes. t,e government will be paying these pseudo military doles to a special privileged class for 100 years.
 And why do supposedly intelligent and patriotic eongressmen vote overwhelmingly for such legislation. in this year of hardship even while they are supposedly arining to save tbc government from bankruptcy' There Is only one answer Because t is an election year. Self-respeetng veterans should, and probably will, seorn such obvi- ous efforts 10 buy their votes

Tomorrow evening the Hartford Real Estate Board at it's monthly meeting will discuss the possibility of further reduction in thc interest rates on first mortgages. For years. of course, this rate has rested at 6 per cent, save where there might have been local exceptions. However the 6 per cent rate was pretty universal. According to re. dueed reduction of one-half per cent in the rate, We knew that various banks and mortgage institutions in Connecticut had effected d similar drop when Governor Gross and various state and local officials conferred on the advisability of a general in. terea cut 1t was pointed out at the time that tbe state Of even particular city couldn't take inc initiative in such move. ll was up 10 the individual institution which in turn would be governed by action of it's board of directors. We presume where cir eumstsnees warranted it action was taken to prevent too many home owners losing their property by foreclosures. Now the Hart ford Real Estate Board is to agitate for a 5 per cent rate on first mortgages that are held by banks and insurance companies. The property owner is the man who has been hit the hardest in these hard times. there is no question about that As rule taxes have mounted and t h slI that most home owners
 can do to pay their taxes and interest. Many can't with sad results. We certainly think there will be general vote of approval for ibe ) per. cent first mortgage interest rate.

THE OLD TIMER

 -------.--- Ono stormy night Inst winter Just after I'd called time, In came an old tramp printer And asked me for . dime. Ills clothes were old and ragged, Old agc had lined his face, His eyes were dim, his shoulders From working at the case. | asked where hc came from, And if he had his card, He said he came from Frisco And had found the going hard. 1 gave Him the chapel dOllnr And sent him on Ills way. And then ! stopped and wondered Who hc was yesterday. | stood there and l watched him As he went out in the storm, With half enough around him To keep hls old frame warm. My heart was filled with pity For this old, broken man,
  He's doing all he can. He's just m 0ld.tinbe flOatcr And just a bum tonight. But you young men remember, Tint he hns fought your fight. He's been throusi, strike and lock
 out,
 Big asscssincnts helped tO pay That you might ret good wages And work decent day. He's seen tl,c new machinery Displncc the old type caHc. And younger men more active Have long since filled hls place. He's just an Old-tinic printer. Whose useful days are through But you young men remember, He's won your fight for you.

anyone can apply it. After husking,
the stalks are dried. shredded, boiled,

CHEVROLET HAS LARGEST
DOLLAR VOLUME OF BUSINESS

When the doors open Saturday to the
National Automobile Show in Grand
Central Palace, New York, Chevrolet
will occupy the position Of honor on
the show floor for the fifth consecu-
tive year.
Each year the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce awards first
place at the national shows to the
member company which has done the
largest dollar volume of business in the
previous II months.
The award is much coveted in the
industry, because in addition to the
distinction it conveys it also carries
with it the right to first choice of ex-
hibition space at the national shows
in New York and Chicago.
Chevrolet first achieved the position
Of honor in 1928. Since then the COM
pany has consistently maintained its
leadership.

to live on the interest Of his money.
That was how George f. Baker got
his first lesson in thrift and In the
value Of saving and investing. He was
visiting his grandparents in Dedham,
Mass, where he spent much OF his
vacations as boy, when he learned
the lesson that was to help make him
one OF the worlds leading bankers
and enable him to amass tremen-
dous fortune.
George II. Baker was born In Troy,
N. ", In 1910. His father was mer-

His son was eight years old when
the family moved to Brooklyn. Young
George went to school In Williams
burg. but spent much time with his
grandparents In Massachusetts. The
country air agreed with him. He
thrlved on 1t and became sturdy
and robust youngster.
1t was at Dedham that he laid the
foundation for the strong constitution
that has enabled him to be active for
so many years. There also. through
the example Of his uncle, he learned
the lesson In finance that helped him
In laying the foundation for his great
fortune. He earned his nrst money,
during vacation at Dedham. by gath

by the pIckers.
He carried the berries to the barn
In pals, dumped them In a sleigh, that
was stored until the coming Of the
New England winter, and when 1t WAS
full and all the berries snlvaged. he
sold the batch for 81. That was good

waste 1t on candy or entertainment
With the example OF his uncle II min4
he saved 1t.
The youthful inancier finished hi
education 1t Seward university It
Florida, N. r.. when he was sixtseA
years old. His first job was In 1 smaH
Albany bank. His father. WHOSE In
terest In politics had gained him m
election to the state legislature, Was
secretary to Gov. Myron II. Clark It
the time.
The youngster worked hard learning
the rudimentS OF the banking business,
but he had time to enjoy himself after
the fashion OF the youth Of the period.
He drove his own horse and buggy
He got his exercise by rowing on the
upper Hudson.
Sculllng was a great sport on the
river ut Albany and Troy In those
daSs. There were good boat clubs and
good oarsmen. Young Baker was ons
OF the best. He was skilled enough
to win sculllng championship OF the
upper Hudson. He was also active In
church and lecture work
He was badly Injured In a railroad
accident in 1862 For time 1t was
thought one OF his legs would have
to be amputated. He recovered and
served as secretary and assistant Mill
tary secretary to Gov. Edwin D. Nor
gan, who was chief executive OF tho
state at the outbreak OF the Civu
war.
Before this he had worked as =
clerk in the state banking department.
His pay there was only $500 q year,
but he managed to save 500 OF his
first years salary. His father was in
Washington at secretary to William
III. Seward and young Baker returned
to the banking department when Gov
ernor Morgan retired from Office.
He was known as the best informed
clerk there His knowledge soon gave
him an opportunity to enter the bank
Ing business for himself. He became
interested in the plan of Secretary Of
the Treasury Chase to sell bonds
through banks and to form banks
which could pledge bonds themselves
for the circulation OF currency up to
90 per cent OF their value.
He talked the proposition over with
John Thompson, q New York financier.
! and LII, 1863 they launched the First
National bank with capital Of $780,
coo. Thompson offered the young
banker all the stock he wanted and
promised to carry 1t for him. But
George Baker. at the time, didn't b.
lieve In borrowing money. Some mis-
guided friend, apparently, had warned
him against being borrower.
So he used only his own savings to
buy stock. His nest egg permitted
him to buy thirty shares. He also b.

cashier OF the bank. He prospered
and later borrowed the money With
