played perfect golf the rest of the way.
Although the 1882 championship was
robbed of many of its greatest gallery

breaking matches-one of them a 43-
hole thriller between Walter Hagen of
Detroit and John Golden of Noroton.
Conn.-St. Paul boosters said it was
successful enough to pay off the guar

probably assured the continuance of
the $4,000 st. Paul open, which was
supplanted by the p. G. A. show.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-04-27

Donald C. Conn speaking for the grape growers of California wants the sale of nat urally fermented wines made legal by repeal of revision of the 18th amendment. We don't know what the grape growers of Cal ifornia are worrying about. Haven't they received government assistance of recent years? And isn't Mrs Mabel Walker Willie brandt still capable of making what seems to be illegal legal. Incidentally we were interested in the declaration of Chairman Stone of the Farm Board who said that the board did not Tend penny to Fruit Industried. Ltd. <. Until it had been as- sured by the Department of Justice the Treasury and the Prohibition Bureau that the grape concentrate business was perfectly legal. ... Evidently the grape growers aren't making as much of success out of their concentrates as they had expected. Perhaps Uncle Sam could help them adver- tise their products, too.

No More Homes?

The American Institute of Architects finds that there are fewer fine homes being built by wealthy Americans. There is less interest in distinctive and individual homes, whether millionares' mansions or merely commodious and comfortable dwellings of the wel-to-do. Really distinctive arehitee- ture runs into other lines. The cause is ex- planed as due to the increased mobility" of modern life Families can get around from one place to another so readily that they are not satisfied to concentrate their liv- ing on one place any more. They like to change environment or climate, and so tend to have two or three homes. This tendency, already characteristic of the wealthy, may soon become general practice with all but the poor.
 The architects fear let-down in arehl- teetural quality, from this scattering of home interests. Homes are tending. anyway to uniformity. Families occupying two or three every year may not object to their be- ing as standardized as hotel quarters, and may even prefer 1t. to save trouble Here IS a big change from the ideals of ancestors who often prided themselves on living in the same house for three or four generations. Will that time ever come asain3

What the Governor Said

We'll, at last we've found out what the governor, of North Carolina said to the gov ernor of South Carolina. But in this partic- ular instance the conversation wasn't just a dialogue. The governor of North Carolina, in this instance O. Max Gardner, was ad dressing twenty-six others who are attend ing the annual conference of governors at Richmond Virginia. He declared that his state has solved the problem of giving the electorate more services and keeping expenses down. This IS done by the state assuming the maintenance of all county, highways
 Unfortunately for many of our states there are no county highway appropria- tions. In Connecticut, for example, the on- ly appropriations for the counties go for maintenance of institutions such as the jails and court houses and their employees. We presume the same IS true in many other states. too. where the county as a political subdivision is far less important than 1t was some years ago. So what are those states not expending huge sums in county work going to do? We don't think. for example. that Connecticut wastes S6,00o,000 annually in its county appropriations
 If North Carolina was losing that much money before the state assumed the county obligations with regard to road work then 1t was not up with the times. Of course, we must remember that Connecticut is fore most in many respects such as road work, tuberculosis relief. and such public duties as devolve upon commonwealth. It is often hard for us to remember that there are many states not as far advanced as We are along these lines. However we are glad to note that states are beginning to realize that political ramfications are expensive and burdensome. The sooner we drop the un- necessary ones, the sooner we unload tax weights
 But right here in Connecticut we cling to antiquated ideas of representation. We don't know if the relegaton of our borough system of representation to the background would save the taxpayers an immense sum like the S6,000000 that North Carolina was once wasting on county roads, but cer- tainly it would make for more efficient state governmente which in itself would be less expensive and at the same time more productive of results. The North Carolina budget method is a good thing for that particular state. It might not work we'll in another section of the country but at least it proves one contention that the more sim plified is our machinery of government the lower the taxes We might recommend this to Washington. now sadly overcrowded with its bureaucratic form of government.

Smith Still a Favorite

He may not be the next presidential can didate of the democratic party, but Alfred E. Smith will be among those making the final decision as to the partys choice at Chicago early this summer. That much IS sure by his surprising showing in recent prl- maries in which he and Governor Roosevelt have been contestants. And strictly speak ing that is as 1t should be. Rarely has the republican party repudiated its successful candidate when 1t came time for renomlna- ton and reelection. It istdemocratie custom for the presidential candidate to remain the titular head of the party until a new nomi7 nee has been designated, just as the national chairman remains in power until the presi- dential candidate names his campaign man. ager.
 There seems to be an element of suspi- cion in democratic circles that Mir Smith IS in the presidential race this spring simply to prevent Governor Roosevelt from securing the nomination. We doubt that very much although we think that if Mir Smith believed the party would make more progress and achieve more success at the polls in Novem Der with different candidate running he would do all in his power to secure the nomination of that candidate Perhaps he feels that way about Governor Roosevelt Perhaps he doesn't. He may solely be think ing of the large popular vote he secured in 1928, although it represented scant few electoral votes.
 Maybe too. Mir Smith recalls the years in which he struggled for the leadership of the democratic party and was turned down. namely, in 1920 and 1924 Now that he IS actually the leader in name and fact he doesn't intend to turn the control of the destinies of the democrats to the first per sen who comes knocking. He wants the party's future placed in good hands. And if he thinks that his own are capable of car ing for its wants for few more years, don't lay 1t to personal vanity, but to the fact that once man has attained an objective he does not lightly relinquish it. The Massa- chusetts and Pennsylvania primaries yester- day should convince the most sceptical that the Honorable Alfred E. Smith is still very much of political power in democratic ranks, Keep that in mind, all you who read as you run helter-skelter.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-04-27

Senator Willard Tydings, democrat, of Maryland proposes $1,500,000.0o0 bond issue to start federal construction work throughout the entire nation, the idea being to relieve unemployment. He declares that floating of large federal bond issue is the only effective means of combating the de- pression However, the novel feature of the Tydings proposal is the method by which the bonds would be retired. He is an anti prohbitionist and believes that if tax of "A cents gallon were placed on beer ot a 275 per cent content 1t would be very easy to relieve the nation of it's debt in
 few years. In fact so great would be the tax returns from beer sales that there would still be enough left over to do away with the proposed tax on automobiles. All of which is encouraging. but we aren't taken with the idea of floating bond issues to re- lieve unemployment. The bond issue plan is all right. but it won't relieve unemploy- ment.

the United States For example Raymond Clapper of the United Press informs us that a months order for bottled water runs sonie- thing like this: Twenty eases of White Rock, twenty-seven cases Mountain Valley water. ten cases Capon spring water. two cases Kalak water. ."
 What are Senators Copeland and Wagner of New York doing for their native statef What, indeed. when Saratoga Springs abounds with such salubrious beverages as Hathorn and the like?
 We don't know the healing graces of KaIak. Capon ot Mountain Valley. but we presume they must be sufficient unto the day if our senators imbibe them at the rate of ten or twenty cases per month. And yet we also learn that Washington's water sup ply is so pure and undefiled that it can be used without the slightest danger in an au- tomobile battery.
 We don't begrudge our senators their in- dividual shaving mugs in the Senate barber shop. We are glad to see that these repre- sentatives of the government still have few old-fashioned ideas to which they cling, come what may But when it comes to these various spring waters with their health- ful properties we think the time has come to eeonomize. If the good old U. s. Senate wants to get in the parade for simpler and less expensive life. which is one way of re- gaining prosperity, it really ought to treat its palate to a taste of Washington water for a while

A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION

When the World war came to close, David Lloyd George was breathing forth fire and smoke at a prodigious rate. The kaiser was to be hanged, the. Germans were to pay through the nose, and the victors were soon to find the world made comfortable and prosperous for them.
 In that frame of mind he went to help shape the Versailles treaty. crying that Germany must pay for war damages to the very limit of. her ability. It is to his credit that he never deluded himself about what that limit might be as gross ly as most of his colleagues did: but he helped, nevertheless, to pro- duce the atmosphere in which the sky-high reparations totals were fixed.
 Ever since then he has been cooling off: and now, in a little book entitled 'The Truth About Preparations and War Debts," he announces fiatly that the world de- precision will not have a chance to end until reparations are can celed.
 Nor is that all. If reparations are to be canceled. he says, the war debts must be cancelled too: and the nations of the world must lower their tariff barriers and give a free play to international com merce.
 He makes out an excellent case for his argument. Preparations. he says, and consequently war debts. have been paid so far on borrowed money-money borrowed from the United States. They cannot be paid that way any longer. But to let Germany's export trade rise to a point at which they would be paid in actual cash would mean ruin for trade and industry in all the creditor nations. Hence-can- cellation is the only way of avoid, ing crash of the existing eco- homie order.
 His book is published by Dou- bleday, Doran and company, and sells for s1.50.

MILWAUKEEs FAME AND FOAM
(Hartford Courant)

The reelection recently of Dan- iel Hoan. socialist mayor of Mil waukee, for a ninth consecueive two-year term has again directed attention to this western city which has received much favorable com ment in recent months for the manner in which it conducts it's municipal affairs. The city is free of graft, has no crime problem, bal annces it's budget and keeps par tisanship at a harmless distance. Socialist book theories have noth- ing to do with Hoan management which is characterized by efficiency. honesty, and fearless economy when that becomes necessary.
 That is about as far as one can go in eulogizing Milwaukee. It seems the.thing has been consider ably Overdone. In the March issue of the National Municipal Review, Paula Lynagh, head of the citizens bureau of Milwaukee, gives facts and figures regarding the surpuls that made Milwaukee famous" and while she maintains that it Is a well-governed city, truth leads her to make the following qualifica- tions:
 The much praised s4,0OO.000 sur plus, actually $3,400,000 was a cash balance resulting from unexpended bond proceeds because the street widenings and viaduct construction to which they were to apply had become involved iN litigation. As soon as these legalities are straight ened out the surplus" will dis appear.
 It is true that the sinking fund for the payment of maturing bonds is increasing faster that had been expected, but it is also true that the debt it is to overtake has in creased still faster"
 The city,s property tax rate is the lowest among the 13 larg- est cities in the United States. but it has an income tax which is the equivalent of 43 mills on the tax able property of the city, /
 The city operates now on a pay as-you-go- policy, including it's pub lie improvements. but that is be- cause "during the pest 10 years all the bonds have been issued that are legally permissible"
 , It must be overlooked that in addition to a $45,000.000 city and school debt. Milwaukee is respon- sible for a s17.000.000 metropolitan sewerage indebtedness and an $S.- 100000 county debt. This grand total of $71,000,000 and not the first figure only, as frequently quoted. shows the true debt peso ton.
 At present 20 per cent of the city's property tax is to defray debt charges.
 After digesting those facts one loses some enthusiasm about Mill waukee's .surplus'' and other sup posedly laudable fiscal facts and feats.. Upon close examination they proce to be foam under which there is less substance than the nation had been led to suppose.

Learning to Loaf

Captain Robert Dollar, the California shipping magnate, who started his daring found-the- world steamship service at the age of 80, announces on his 18th birthday anniversary that the world IS "a fine place if you want to work" It is a noble sem timent but having paid it due reverence. one may feel like rising to remark that the world is also a fine place if you want to loaf. In fact, speaking in general. the world may be even better for loafing than for working.
 Look at the situation the civilized nations are in today. What put them there? If the economists know what they are talking about, it was too much work. Consequent ly large part of the effort now devoted to getting our industrial society out of depres- sion, and back into a tolerable state of life, aims to provide regularly more leisure for all of us.
 Our new leisure will bore most of us at first Almost anyone can work, but loaf ing requires talent and training. An over energetic race has to learn the art of leisure. But as we make progress in this unaeeus- toned field, we shall doubtless discover in- centives for pleasurable activity more varied and satisfying. and often more useful, than those of toilsome labor and business effort inspired by necessity or the quest of wealth. There will still be plenty of voluntary work to be done, in social, educational, artistic and reereational fields. This should be fun enough for those incapable of the fine art of loafing and inviting their souls.

Bids for the first construction work on the proposed Merritt Highway in Fairfield county have just been asked for by State Highway Commissioner Macdonald. The section to be built is in Bridgeport and runs from the Barnum avenue cutoff to the Washington bridge. Stratford. The road way will be of bituminous macadam on broken stone base.
