Chief Justice Wheeler

The sudden death of former Chief Jus tice George W. Wheeler of Bridgeport at his home yesterday will be distinct shock to the entire state. It will also disrupt the plans that intimate friends of his had enter tained of entering him in public career, to date from the November elections. Ever since his retirement from the Supreme Court bench he has been considered as available for various nominations on the democratic ticket. Two years ago he was considered for gubernatorial nomination which was no novelty, for at various times in his long judicial career democrats had leaned towards Chief Justice Wheeler. He even had been asked to consider abandoning the bench for political career but turned aside all offers.
 It is doubtful if he even could have been persuaded to enter the political arena two years ago when his retirement was necessi- tated because he had reached the age limit We, rather imagine that friends considered grooming him for the senatorial nomina- ticn this year to oppose Senator Hiram A Bingham. His name had been mentioned in this connection. It would have been an in- teresting campaign between the two men as it, doubtless would have preeipitated one of the few political battles in Connecticut in which wet and dry issues might have de- cided the auteome. The late chief justice was always considered a dry adherent, although it is claimed that of recent years he had been displeased with the workings of the 18th amendment.
 Chief Justice Wheeler spent twenty years in the highest court of our state, ten of which he acted as chief justice. But ever since his graduation from the Yale Law School in 1883 he has been influential in any court in which his profession might have taken him. He was not a native of Connecticut but as an adopted son he soon became one of us. His law practice always centered in Bridgeport. It was there that he first made his debut in state politics and ross to the role of Fairfield county leader. He might have had further honors in the political field as when the late Luzon B. Morris was elected governor in 1892 he offered the post of executive secretary to Mr Wheeler.
 It was refused as he was resolved at that time to abandon politics for law entirely. The governors secrstary has long been rated as stepping stone to the higher courts of the state. but Chief Justice Wheeler made the sseent without this aid. Abandoning politics he. entered into law partnership with the late Howard J. Curtis It became one of the most famous in the state and was only dissolved when both were appointed to judgeships, Wheeler to the superior court, Curtis to the common pleas. In 1910 Gov crnor Weeks appointed him to the supreme court. His retirement came in 1850 as related above. A man of sterling character he was a guiding light to men of his pro- fession His strength of will was mani fest in no better way than in the manner in which he resisted all political inducements to maintain the high standard of our state courts. It will be long time before Con- nectieut again sees jurist of the George w. Wheeler type

Significant Move

Selection of former U s. Senator Atee Ponerene of Ohio to head the newly or sanized Reconstruction Finance Corporation by President Hoover was somewhat of surprise to the average man in the street. Mir Pomerene is democrat and his appoint ment to the board means that it will be controlled by democrats if politics are to be brought into its operation. Of course, it IS on-politieal body. but the very law creating the corporation injected streak of politics into it by declaring that no more than four of the seven members shall be of the same political faith. Mir Pomerene sue ceeds Eugene Meyer as chairman. who in turn succeeded former Viee-Presdent and Ambassador Charles C. Dawes.
 1t had been rumored in various circles the last few days that the new chairman was to be prominent democrat. A good many people took this to mean that Alfred E. Smith. former governor of New York and democratic opponent of President Hoover in 1928. was the man in question. But such was far from aetuality. It is hard to tell just what actuated the president in his choice of ex-senator Pomerene. Certainly he picked a good man and one who will devote every energy to making the work Of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation success Anybody who recalls the way Atlee Pomerene handled the government prosecution growing out of the Teapot Dome oil lease scandals should realize that here is a man of sound convictions and de- tsrmined purpose.
 He was senator from Ohio during the years 1911 to 1923 when he was defeated for reelection. Since that time he had de- voted himself to his private law practice in which he is acknowledged leader in the middle west. We imagine that President Hoovers knowledge of Mr Pomsfene's abil- icy was acquired back in the days of the Harding and Coolidge administrations when the president was serving in their Cabinets and fhen Senator pomsFsns was making fboss men who hoped 10 dslraud ths govern. ment of millions squifm.

CITRoN AND TUNNEY
(New Britain Herald.)

Local democrats appear to be- lieve in the political thesis that to the workers should go the spells. That is why they become alarmed at mention of the name of Gene Tunney as a democratic candidate for congressman-at-larg
 The facts are that William M. Citron of Middletown has been on the tongues of politicians as the "at large" candidate for some months, this elevation being regarded as a fitting reward for Citron's work in the legislature.
 But when Chairman Farley of the national committee was asked about Gene Tunney, and the announce ment went forth that he regarded Tunney as a "colorfur and "atten- tion-getting' candidate, all the pa- pers which never took special note of Citron as candidate made mem ton of the Tunney ambitions-and under good-sized headlines.
 If Citron Is allowed to be the candidate for congress on the "at large" plan 1t is probable that some of the showmen in the party will insist on making use of Gene Tun- ney. He might become the candi- date for the U. s. senate.
 Chairman Farley may have his preference, but the nomination will take place in Connecticut. The par ty will make use of MT Tunney- either by naming him for some of- flee that doesn't interfere with Mir Citron's plans or by relying upon him as a spellbinder or contributor.

A Book a Day
Tells How the Last Frontiers
 Was Conquered
by BRUCE CATION

Prairie Chronicle" by Juana Foust, Is reminder that the pio- neer era isn't quite as distant in point of time as we often suppose.
 It is a novel that tells of the migration of the Collins family from the south to the west; mi grafton that began when the Civil War destroyed the family's pros perity, and that ended only when he second generation helped open up an empty section of New Mex leo in the 20th century.
 Chiefly 1t Is the story of Return John Collins. who grew up in Ok lahoma n territorial days and who led the long trek to New Mex ico. In simple, forceful language the author describes that labori- ous journey, tells how these latter day pioneers won their home stead on virgin soil and pictures the conquest of Americas last frontier.
 Return John, incidentally. is as interesting a character as you will ing. He was strong, dour, ruth less,, and his swift decline into meanness. trickery and finally in- to complete mental and physcal disintegration under the blows of hard luck Is very ably handled.
 The latter part of the book. which tells how the up-to-date third generation rescues the family from the barren rut nto which Return John had led it, is not quite convincing; but in the main the book is an excellent pie ture of our last pioneer period. and a coloful. interesting story to boot.
 "Prairie Chroncle" is published by Putnam's. and sells for $2.

We wonder how many owners of real estate realized that they can be delinquent for fifteen years. in this state without iri- curing any serious penalty other than pay ment of interest. on. the taxes annually. Commissioner Blodgett in a recent state- ment discussed the lenieney of the Connec- ticut laws as compared to those of other states. He said. The harsh severity of the laws of other states has been softened by a unique provision for the unfortunate. Connectcut permits those in distressed cir cun1stances to defer for, period not exceeding IS years the payment of their realestate taxes upon the sstisfae- ton of certain conditions. = Also this state has set maximum limit of two years for payment by those who are able to do so. In other words all uncollected taxes must be paid up in this two year period, save for those in distressed conditions. Discussing this angle of tax payments Mir Blodgett re- marked that Where the time element has occupied conspicuous position in tax col lection procedure there is usually little. If any. trouble with uncollected taxes. No municipal fiscal system could long continue if the municipality could not annually count on substantial amount of receipts from taxes. .. - If there should be any body in Waterbury who eontemplates filling the conditions necessary to defer tax pay ments for IS years, he or she should weigh we'll this course of action. Interest is col leeted at the rate of three-fourths of one per cent a year. That is 9 per cent annu- ally and sizeabe item for anybody who would be forced to defer tax payments l5e years.

October will soon be month of memor- ia days judging by news reports. Con- gress will be asked the next time it con- venes (that is next Deeember) to designate October as Jeff Erickson day. The Left Erickson Memorial Association of America is to sponsor the request. We wouldn't doubt if Congress aequiesced. In the mat ter of special events. holidays. etc. Congress is much more lenient than our state Legis- latures. Last year the Connecticut Legisla- ture was asked to designate October II as Pulaski Day in honor of the great Revolu- tionary War hero who died in the siege of Savannah Numerous states have already made October l 1 Pulaski Day, but not so' Connecticut. Our legislators decided that, would be too much of precedent. Due to good work on the part of Representative Lonergan Congress approved similar meas

DEATH OF "BILL" PALMER.
(Hartford Times)


 Democrats of Connecticut will miss "Bill' Palmer from their state conventions and meetings of their state central committee. The campaigns will not be quite the same without his participation.
 MT Palmer, christened William R., though affectionate1y known by the common abbreviation of his first name, was a striking figure in any company. Tall and broad of shoulder, with a shock of white hair, he loomed up among men. Gifted with forcefulness and elo-. quence in speech, he was able to hold his own in forensic discussion. Vigorous in action he was natural ly leader. He was twenty years a member of the democratic state central committee and at all times an active participant in public af- fairs. President Wilson made him United States marshal for Con- necticut. MT Paumer was decend. ed from the earliest esttlers of New England. In early life he had many years of business experience in New York. Then he settled in a Connecticut small town. On the side of recreation he was known chiefly as a yachtsman with a penchant for deep sea sailing.
 Everybody liked him fo r his straightforwardness, his open hearted manner, his kindly dis position
