Where Praise Is Due

Mayor Frank Hayes has scored point in
his efforts to give the city as economical an
administration as is possible in foregoing the
appointment of clerk of the Board of Edu-
cation. We say this despite the fact that the
board has temporarily held up his suggestion,
pending legal opinion on the matter of
Superintendent of Schools Thomas j.
Condor combining the duties of the clerk
with his present ones. at an additional
stipend of 81 year. To MIR Condor must
go the thanks of the community for agree
ing to cooperate with the mayor in this
saving. We think that eventually the school
board will look at it in the same light and
act accordingly. 1t does not seem to us that
the law would prevent municipality at
fitting the economy of this nature. which
as we understand it, is purely temporary,
matter of months or perhaps few years.
While there will be some to find fault
with this action on the ground that the
clerk of the board of education is full
time position. there will be plenty to ad-
mre Mayor Hayess courage in his policy. 1t
takes a good deal of patience and an I'M
mense amount of wisdom to sit at the head
of a city government these troublesome
days. There are exacting problems present.
ed every minute. Nothing is more worr-
some. though than keeping the expenses
of the taxpayers down to minimum.
1t has been particularly unfortunate in
one respect that Mayor Hayes was called to
his civic duties during perhaps the most
trying period that Waterbury has expert
enced in many year. In another respect
we are glad and we know that many peo-
pie subscribe to the same idea that it is
Mayor Hayes who heads the city govern
ment and not somebody else. But under his
guidance even in these hard times the city
has kept its head above water. Its standing
in financial circles is such as to contradict
all published reports to the contrary.
There may be some personal feeling over
failure of an appointment. But after peo-
pie have thought it over they will probably
see plenty to praise in Mayor Hayes's action.
Those who fail to see with him in the mat
ter will certainly get nothing by constantly
carping about the matter. In the long run
we all save something without lessening the
degree of efficiency of the school department.

New View of Banks

Along with its p4---.-: indignation at the
methods and practices of successful bank
ers of the Wiggin and Mitchell type the
public should feel some shame at its past
complaeency toward those methods. Up to
the fall of 1929 many of us approved of
the very activities which are now regarded
as financial racketeering. In communities,
great and small, all over the land, other
bankers and banking institutions did the
same things and were regarded with adj
miration by fellow-citizens.
Banks and bankers retaining from such
spectacular financial coups had to wait until
the crash came before they were appreciated.
1t is only now that they are reaping in pub
lie esteem and increased business their due
reward for having RETAINED from gambling
with depostors' money. Their conception of
the responsibilities and duties of bank was
ahead of that of the general pablo. The
public acquesced too easily in the notion
that the function of banker was to get
rich, making some of his associates rich
along with himself. Reform in banking law
is needed. Even more important is reform in
the understanding of banking and the pub
lie attitude toward it as professional service.

Washington. at least officials in the Fed
eral Deposit Insurance Corporation aren't
particularly well pleased with the reaction of
this state towards the deposit guarantee plan.
1t may be recalled that an opinion from the
attorney-general's office, given by Deputy
Attorney General Averill, advised that. the
state banking commission might frown on
all proposals of state savings banks to join
the Federal Reserve System or the above cor
poration. Officials at Washington are
openly charging MIR Averill with personal
dislike of the plan. We doubt this. We're
more inclined to think that Connecticut
banks might. have this dislike and Mr.
Averll simply interpreted it.

much money in tax default. But
Greenwich is alarmed and its board
of estimate and taxation says: THE
cash to run our schools, meet our
general town generally, must be
obtained in someway or our schools
must close and our government
cease to function"
The town could borrow to meet
current needs, as SO many other
towns have done, but. that. says
the board, sis a measure Of des-
peration, mortgaging of the fu-
ture, a costly enterprise at best,
and one to be adopted only as a
last resort The alternative is to
get in the taxes. AS to delinquent
cies in this line, the board says:
Unfortunately the new. act,
passed by the Connecticut assem-
bly, in the 1888 session, allowing
tax collectors fifteen years in which
to collect taxes, has seriously add
ed to the difficulty of the situation.
Our only hope is that our Green
witch tax collector will not allow
any such delinquency to occur in
Greenwich. The matter is In his
hands, as he may collect taxes at
any time and allow only such per-
iod of default as he, in his 'discre-
ton, deems wise. The analysis of
delinquent taxpayers, recommend
ed by you, should at once be made
so as to determine the reasons for
delinquency. Time should. be al
lowed to those who are equitably
entitled to it. The full force-of the
tax collection law should be used
against those who are not entitled
to it." IA
This has become every. towns
problem. They. cannot function
without adequate income. 1t is no
longer fashiona BILE to class uncol-
lected taxes as an asset against
which to borrowsand to continue
spending as though the money was
already in the treasury.

Hermann Goering's violent hat

in German quarters to an incl

the Armistice. Goering, a Ger

and was walking up Inter den

They surrounded him, tore off
his epaulets and decorations,
and slapped his face. He has
never forgotten or forgiven this
