How Odum, Taylor, and Coker Made a
Christmas Census

Christmas day dawned clear
ard warm, perfect day for our
annual Christmas census. Many
bird students over the country

any day between Dec. p and
30 and try to see as many
species as possible in one day
The list Of birds seen are sent III
ito the Bird Lore magazine, and
some $50 (all those that are
reasonably accurate and repre-
sentative are pralished. The
Icensuses range from only doZ-
en- species and d hundred or 50
| individual birds in Canada, TO
over d hundred species and thou
sands Of individuals in Califor-
/ MIA. Some cenSuses are taken by
one person, some by two or
three, and others by whole bird
clubs working in parties. This
there are many interesting com

This year We decided that we
could do better if We worked sep

AZ species with Edmund sporting
the largest individual list Of
81 species gathered FROM the
fertile region Of StroWd's Low
grounds. The afternoon was
spent in visiting likely localities
with the aid of an automobile in
an attempt to get certain species
missed in the mornings general
survey. In this we were very
successful, and by the time the
sun was sinking in the west we
had a grand total Of 81 species
and some 1441 individuals in our
bag.
Several birds seen are worthy
of notice. Several chipping spar
rows ct. & o. were noted that
usually are not found in winter,
and a catbird CO.. seen is our
first winter record. The mild
ness of the winter so far ac-
counts for these birds staying
over. A marsh hawk co. and
sparrow hawks ct. & o. seen
have been very infrequent this
winter. Also, over the holidays
red-breasted nuthatches (T.)
were again reported.-E.P.O.

llliteracy and Murder

Chieago's troubles have reached an acute stage. but there is something for which that harassed city can still feel little pride.
 The annual compilation of homicide sta- tistics shows that Chicago ranks fortieth among 174 American cities tabulated accord ing to killings per 100000 of population. Big cities have high homicide totals merely because of large populations, yet none of the nations 10 largest cities is in the list of 30 most murderous communities.
 Various explanations for murder rates are set forth by sociologists. Among the inn portant causes is illiteraey. In some cities the killing rate has dropped regularly with the decrease in iiteraey. This explains why the south. where illteraey is high, makes poorer showing than such centers of gang sterism as New York and Chicago

Capital Gains" Repeal

The Democratic leaders in Congress pro- pose to repeal the capital gains and losses provision of the federal revenue law. In this they may be expected 10 have the support of President Hoover and other republican leaders, who have repeatedly urged such ac ton. Such step would doubtless have the general approval. too, of economists and business men.
 The immediate provoeaton has been the heavy selling in the stock market at the close of last year, to establish losses which the losers might deduct from their taxable n- comes under the present law. As matters stand such procedure is likely to deprive the government of large income tax payments which it needs, and which wealthy investors could afford to pay in spite of their losses.
 Such sales have been held, too. largely responsible for the disastrous waves of sell ing at any price which drove stocks so low in December Similarly. critics say the law has worked badly when investors were gaining heavily on a rising market, because they would hang onto their stocks as long as possible to avoid paying income tax on their gains. creating an artificial scarcity of stocks on the market and driving prices to abnormal heights.
 Similar reasoning applies to real estate gains and losses which have been opposed on principle by real estate men. It is held. too. that there is no justification for such tax in connection with an income tax. be- cause it amounts to double taxation As "capital pains' occur and the new capital becomes productive, the new income it pro- duces is taxed Thus nearly everything comes under the income tax sooner or later.

Taxed Castles

It appears that castles in Germany can be picked up these days for small sums if you have the sums It isn't that their owners have ceased to care about them. Taxes are higher and incomes lower, and castles are expensive to maintain. A tenant who could pay enough rent to cover the taxes and maintain the old buildings in fairly good condition wou Id be more welcome than a purchaser in many cases. but tenants and buyers are equally hard to find.
 It's surely tough! We've always wanted German castle, and just now, with bar gains in castle available. we don't have the price. What a life Nevertheless. it's an interesting subject for the student of taxa ton. It looks little like one more case of eonfiseaton or killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

That seems to lave the way open to Colonel Roosevelt. unless. of course. his ap- pointment to the Philippines is an indiea- ton that the powers that be in high repub- liean circles have deereed that the young man has not acquired sufficient political aeumen and requires further schooling. He certainly is getting the best of opportunities in this respect. Nowhere can more political knowledge and tactics be picked up than in our insula possessions. especially such im- portant ones as Porto Rico and the Philip pines. That Colonel Roosevelt has pro- gressed can be seen in the act of sending him to the Philippines where the battle over complete independence is becoming more intense every year. We fear that the young namesake of famous president will be busy for the next four years in keeping his is- landers in check.

The appointment of Town Chairman John A. Cornell of Bridgeport as judge of the superior court to succeed the late Ed ward M. Yeomans of Andover seems to have met with universal approval through out the state. Mir Cornell has been promi nent in state democratic circles for some few years now. He has been leading figure in the political life of Bridgeport for decade. His fellow lawyers. both in Bridgeport and throughout the state. speak well of his abil- ities. It is evident from his remarks that Governor Cross gave considerable thought to the appointment of a successor to the late Judge Yeomans. There will be no queS- tioning the appointment of a democrat. Judge Yeomans was democrat. It was wise to fill his place with democratic law yer. There should be some partisan balance in judicial appointments. no matter how much we deplore the linking of such with politics. In the past there has been a ten deney towards complete supremacy of the republican party in our courts. The demo- cratic party was given but bare representa- ton on the supreme and superior court benches. In the minor courts it had none. Governor Gross advocates bi- partisan courts. He has worked to this end whenever it was in bis power We think his latest appoint ment is in good keeping with all the exact ing demands of the position.

Freddy" Advances

Although the younger Theodore Roose- welt never has been known publicly as Teddy" like his more distinguished father. the late president. he may be at that stage in his political career where advisers would like to have the more familiar appel lation pinned on him. The announcement of the resignation of Dwight Davis as gov ernor general of the Philippines was promptly followed by the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt now serving in like capacity at Porto Rico. The appointment is no doubt merited, Colonel Roosevelt has done d good job down in Porto Rico It is believablc that he will carry on the excellent work that Dwight Davis has in- augurated in the Philippines.
 The nomination sets at rest any vice pres idential boom that friends of the Roosevelts might have intended. For some months past now efforts have been made to side track Vice-President Curtis. The latter gave his enemies plenty of opportunities. as he seemed undecided himself as to Nhat course he would pursue. He is rumored to have con- sidered abandoning the vice presidential career in favor of his old post in the Senate. Of course that would necessitate winning the senatorial nomination in Kansas and then the election. Of the former he might be reason- ably certain. Of the latter precursory ex- animation of the battle front revealed that the present democratic incumbent. who must seek reelection this fall. is apt to be renominated and reelected, Hence, Mir Cur tis declared himself for the vice presidency.
 That decision was slight disappoint- ment 10 a number of aspiring republicans Oddly enough all are concerned with our insulsr possessions. They were Colonel Roosevelt. who is being primed for bigger things; Secretary of War Patrick J.

Homer S. Cummings has formally pledged himself to support Franklin D. Roosevelt for the presidency. We wonder if this will mean fight at the state convention when delegates to the national convention will be chosen Connecticut usually sends an uninstructed allegation although efforts have been made to pledge the vote to one man until released It would be foolhardy step for Connecticut to take this year. While admitting the great possibility of RooseveIts nomination we must remember that the democratic party also presents this year such stalwarts as Governor Ritehie, Newton D. Baker. James M. Cox, John W. Davis, Alfred E. Smith, and dozens of oth- CTS. In the face of that great company an uninstrueted delegation is advisable.
