Signed With Reluctance

Governor Cross has indicated that he
signed the budget bill simply because he be-
lieved that if he didn't it would have been
passed any way. That may have been the
case but we believe that if the governor
had definitely stricken from the sos, OO0,-
900 budget several of the more obnoxious
items he would have received just such pub
lie support as came to him when he called
upon the state to back him in the liquor
commission control act. He must realize
that he commands considerable respect among
the voters.
That will be of little avail now with the
bill signed and the money as good as APP
propriated. But we can still express our dis
pleasure with the high handed method with
which our economical republican legislators
dished out funds which may cause the state
deficit to mount to new high by 1885. In
fact we are destined to have such deficit
as Connecticut never imagined if we are to
take the word of such officials as Tax Com,
missioners Blodgett, etc.
That being the case we cannot help but
think that the claims of republicans in by
gone years for economical administration
have been trifle premature. Their economy
was of an artificial nature and colored to
suit the occasion. 1t is only of recent years
that they permitted capital OUTLAWS involv-
ing millions of dollars. Perhaps if they had
spread this over long period instead of be-
ing forced to crowd it into couple of years
conditions now would not be so serious.
But any state which can afford a highway
department budget approximately 40 per
cent of the total, doesn't deserve any pity
for what may happen. +

doctrines OF the spoils system to
the longer end that an honest two
party government might be restor-
er in Connecticut. #
And 1t is again true, of course,
that once the choice was made, the
governor had the good fortune to
find material at hand which pre-
scented the spoils system itself in
it's fairest guise. Colonel Common
was a good appointee,, granted q
new appointment was essential; the
same is true of Senator Hackett. "A
Yale alumnus, with long period
of service as q teacher In our
schools, the senator went later into
business and into politics. He has
been local tax collector, is a con-
sistent student of fiscal practise,
and we may look to the response
bilities of his office to confirm those
preoccupations with sound proceed
tlre which he has shown.
For II Is true. of course. that

in the long run the individual viii actually
be paying as much annually in taxes as IN
former years. We don't conceive of that as
economy IN government.
For example Uncle Sam now wants 10

cent. Ii doesn't seem like much. but when
some of the figures that,it will result in are
revealed that tiny 34 of a cent is consider

produce three quarters of a million dollars
in revenue in this state in one year. That
would bring the annual federal revenue from
gas taxes in Connecticut up over four mil
lion dollars. 1t is proposed that the addi-
tional tax be spread over a period of -
years. That means our contribution will be
heavy in that time
What will we get back from Uncle Sam
for our federal aid roads. Not much more
than three million dollars. States, like Me-
vada, and a few other thinly populated
ones in the far West will benefit with large
funds but not good old Connecticut. We
pay through the nose and as usual get little
or nothing in return. Such a system as that
can only result in one thing sooner or later.
We predict a revolt against our system OF
taxation. Right here in Connecticut we can
start to correct the system by authorizing
the survey that Governor Cross has called
for now in two inaugural messages. But no
tax reform can be accomplished without an
accompanying governmental reform which
means fewer jobs and smaller budgets.

Legion And Economy

Turn about is fair play. TIL American
Legion. recently the target for certain gov
erenment economies, thinks the firing should
be continued along other fronts. In an ad-
dress in San Francisco. Louis johnson, ma
tional commander of the Legion, made this
ringing plea: II call to every true Legion
naire. to every Legion Post and to every
loyal son of America, where critics of the
veterans have thrown down the flag OF
economy, let us pick it up and carry it on.
Wherever there is corruption or graft or
fraud or extravaganza in high places or low
places, let us, in the name of our disabled
men, clean it out and do good job.
MIR johnson spoke particularly of ship
ping subsidies and tax exempt securities as
needing revision. He has plenty of other
abuses in mind which he hopes the Legion
will get after. A bystander may be per-
mtted to smile little at this zeal for rigid
government economy. At the same time the
general public will applaud it heartily. Here
is task worthy of the Legion. Corruption,
graft fraud and extravaganza are enemies as
dangerous as any nation ever faces. They
should be routed without favor or fear. If
the Legion tackles this task honestly and Wig
orously it will find many of its recent critics
lining up to support it.

College VS.. Prison

1T costs the state of New York as much
to send man to prison as it costs father
to send his son to college, says Bernard j.
Pagan. state parole commissioner. Fewer
men who go to college are sent to prison.
Their better opportunities and training help
them to avoid the temptations which lead
to wrong-doing.
If there were some way for the state to
spend on under privileged boys and young
men. for constructive educational purposes.
the money it spends later in Furnishing them
for committing crimes, would it not lower
the amount of crime and of prison, costs?
Prevention of crime by preventing poverty
and increasing opportunity seems rational
activity for public authorities as well as pri-
waite agencies. More will be done along such
lines as civilization advances.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1933-06-02

And while on the topic of forestry work
we might mention the fact that Massaehu-
setts intends to spend about $1,000 600 in
the next six months in its forests. Half of
that will go towards salaries for the civilian
army corps to be paid by Uncle Sam. The
remainder will be for housing and feeding
the enlisted men. However. this represents Il
saving to the state of at least one million
dollars, it is estimated. If Massachusetts was
to undertake such program of reforestation
it would cost that much more. incidentally
Massachusetts, owns 81 forests and 20 reser-
vations, showing that Connecticut for its
size compares favorably in its forestry area.
And.with men actively engaged in improv-
ing these areas they will be SO much the
more accessible to the general public.

ingtOn Correspondent

Washington-The one thing J. p.
reveal publicly was the partnership
agreements of the firm.
The Morgan partners, except for
Morgan himself, have always been
ignorant as to the size of the split
in the prifits apportioned' to each
other. Only Morgan knows that.
Both he and his father, j. Pier
pont, maintained the policy of Sc
crecy. Each new partner has al
ways had to promise not to dis
close his agreement with any Of
the others and has been made to
realize that IL he did he would
be kicked out. .t
Thus an element of dissension
and jealousy has been carefully
avoided.
The partners are essentially
Morgan employees. 1t has been re-
ported but never confirmed that
Morgan himself took SO per cent
of the profits. At any rate, new
partners, who don't have to put
any money into the firm, are prom
ised certain percentages which may
run as low as one or two per cent.
Partners Run Business
Losses are also proportioned on
the same percentage and charged
off against profit shares. Lately
there haven't been any profits. but
most Morgan partners are still mil
lionaires and before the depression
1t was commonly believed in Wall
street that a Morgan partnership
was worth at least million dol
lars q year. &str
Wall street men here during the
senate inquiry were sure nothing
very injurious would happen to the
house Of Morgan. They believed 1t
not unlikely that Morgan might
before long go to live in England.
He likes 1t there. His partners have
been running the business for him,

Nipmuck this week are reported back
in the ranks after hitch-hiking 70 their homes

The House of Morgan and

The investigation into the affairs of }.
P. Morgan 6 Company is important, not
so much because of sensational disclosures
which may be made. but that it provides
the general public with free look into
what is. in the last analysis, the publics

one of the most wholesome developments
that have come out of the new deal at

The. boundary lines between private bust
ness and public business are hazy and ill de-
fined at times. BY tradition, of course. what
man chooses to do in his own Office, in
pursuit of his own designs is strictly his
own concern; but in practise it doesn't quite
work out that way and the more important
the man is the more the public has
right to inquire into the Things that happen
in his inner sanctum.
The conditions under which all of us live
and work and play are determined partly by
what our elected representatives do at Wash
ington and partly by obscure economic forces
which we do not wholly understand and
which we have never yet had much luck in
controlling but third factor which in
some ways is most important of all. is the
activity of few men of great wealth and
high position, like Mr. Morgan and his
partners.
Under our present system these men are
responsible to no one In the general run of
cases there is no appeal from the decisions
they make. Much of the time the ordinary
citizen does not even know what their deci
sions are; sometimes. indeed, their connec
tions with his place in society are SO in
v,lvcd that he doesn't even realize that the
decisions they have taken will affect him.
Nevertheless the kind of job he is able to
get. the amount of money he is able to make
the prices he will have to pay for what he
buys, the amount of security he is able to
have in his own niche. any and all of these
things can be influenced profoundly by the
things that such men do. That is why 1t
is so necessary that the public have full in
formation about the things that 60 on in

BLODGETT FOLLOWS

Nom partisan reaction to, the
Hackett appointment is likely to be
precisely what 1t was to the gov.
ernor's nomination OF Colonel
Conner. Messrs Blodgett and
Stoeckel have been almost the only
ornaments of republican machine
rule In the state of Connecticut.
Both were not SO much mere po-
litical functionaries as genuine
statesmen in their field; each has
brought distinction to his state
and to his post by the quality of
his administration. Mr. Stoeckel's
standing in the scientific study of
traffic problems in an industrial
society, indeed, has just received
new recognition by his appoint
ment to the Yale faculty. Mr.
Blodgett has been similarly re-
garded among the national body of
tax experts.
But it is a real world We live
in and real problem the governor
faces at the capital. He Is inter-
ested, after all, in attacking the
basic evils in republican rule
which Messrs Stoeckel and Blodg-
EFT have not mitigated while they
may have made them somewhat
tolerable. He opened his expert
ment with an appeal for rule by
partnership rather than partisan-
ship. but he has found the repub-
licans consistently unwilling to play
that brand Of ball. There seems no
alternative. then, to meeting them

Undivided Surplus

"A vital subject was brought into the open
by p w. Litchheld, president of the Good

Il am in utter accord he said, with the

toward governmental control. 1t is that
whatever action is taken be designed to cure
rather than increase our problem of SURPRISES
There is nothing but national suicide ahead
if we permit governmental control to in
crease production arbitrarily through in
creased employment, to the point where sur
pluses are increased rather than diminished.
We can consume only SO much to pro-
duce more than that is to invite catastrophe. :
The main point made is obviously sound.
Ruinous production must be. avoided,
whether under government or private con-
troll. A great, unmarketable surplus piled
up in well-meant effort to provide work
would be ruinous all round, resulting only
in renewed unemployment and depression.

would.
There is reason to suspect that too great

reason to believe that consumption is fex-
