CITIES FACE STATE MENACE
(New Britain Herald)

Connecticut has no bordcd in
debtedness, no state income tax. no
state sales tax, and apparently In
tends to remain rather distinctive
in these respects. But its cities can
have all the bonded indebtedness
they can stand and perhaps more
than that. The state is willing to
guarantee the city bonds, and II
they are not paid the state prom-
Uses to run such cities where failure
to paw the bonds materializes. This.
incidentally, is great way to
guarantee" the bonds,
The object of the state legisla-
tors no doubt is not only to put
the cities on the spot, but to force
them into a condition where the
political stables might be cleaned
up. The state is reaching out for
more say-so in the affairs of the
cities. Let one of them get itself
SO we'll into debt that the state has
to step in and set it to rights. and
all the local deadwood politics Is
likely to go overheard before the

hack politicians may be given jobs

definite action is taken. However. more comprehensive report on the situation in our own state cannot be found unless this re- port is consulted. And after it is thoroughly digested we cannot help but come to the conclusion that in the main we should adopt plans along the line advocated by the com mission and as soon as possible.
 Most people seem to agree that our pres ent system of town farms is not only anti quated but expensive. Under the proposed accommodations of the old age pension commission they would gradually be re- placed by system of district welfare homes to be set up as finances permitted and con- ditions necessitated them in the various dis tricts that would be created by new branch of the public welfare department. namely. the old age assistance division. This would involve an immediate cash appropriation of $25,000. Unfortunately for Connecticut she seeks to install new system when her funds are low.
 It is pertinent to note that in its report the commission shows that the cost of run ming its new system, slightly over one mil lion dollars, would not be an entirely new item of expense for them. If it was there certainly would be no opportunity of inau- gurating it at this ill-fated moment. But we are confident that figures given by the old age pension commission are reliable. They show that today in the state there is total of $855,0O0 being spent for indigent old persons by state. civic. and private organiza- tions. By spending $200,000 more brand new system could be installed with far better results.
 The commission places the eligibility age at 70. It recognizes the fact that 65 would be more desirable age limit. but in view of the circumstances. depression, etc., the older age limit is advocated. The cost of the old age system if persons 65 and over were in- cluded would be about $800,000 more than the estimate with 70 the age limit With the state facing huge deficits as it is there would be far more chance of putting the proposed new system into effect at the lower cost But before anything definite is done we advise the voters of the state to aequaint themselves thoroughly with the- entire report of the commission. It makes good reading. It will put Connecticut in the first rank of states taking care of indgent old persons if it is passed.

South Back in the Saddle
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Reports have had 1t that Roose- welt planned to name three men from the south to his cabinet, which is certainly fair enough in any democratic administration. His choices are still matter of spec lation, but you hear. most about Senator John s. Cohen of Georgia, and Senator Carter Glass and ex- Governor Harry r. Byrd, both of Virginia.
 Unless individual preference or some other arrangement prevents, nine of tho ten most important senate committee chairmanships will go to tho south and the other, Judiciary, to Ashurst of Arizona.
 The list: Agriculture, Smith of South Carolina; appropriations. Glass of Virginia; banking and currency, Fletcher of Florida; finance, Harrison of Mississippi; foreign relations, Swanson of Vir- ginia; interstate commerce, Smith of South Carolina; military affairs, Fletcher of Florida; naval affairs, Swanson of Virginia; rules, Robin son of Arkansas. Neither Smith, Fletcher nor Swanson would be chairman of two big committees, SC there will be some rejiggering-- conditioned by the fact that other southerners are usually next in line for such chairmanships as they pass up. < . Meanwhile, the twelve most im- portant committees of the demo. cratic house are chairmanned by southern representatives and there aren't likely, at tho most. to be more than q couple of changes In thnt sectional set.up.

Quaint-But Lots Of Fun

Say what you please about tho people who were born and grow up before the age of autos, tcle- phones, electric lights and torch singers, they. at least had fun. or they did, anyhow, if they belonged to Q weli-to-do class.
 Frederick Van Wyck, scion of an ancient New York family, gives you a picture of life in the old days in "Recollections of An Old New Yorker" and makes 1t all look exceedingly attractive.
 Born in New York in the early sos and brought up in an aristo- cratic and comparatively wealthy society, this man seems to have had life that was completely en- joyable.
 For small boys the New York of those days offered streets that were full Of adventure and free from automobiles. For young bucks there were diversions quite as. frivolous and surprising as anything that this modern era can offer. For older folk there wcrc sleigh races in the winter time. leisurely ruarl excursions by pri- vate coach in the summer, peace ful country retreats which lacked modern conveniences but provided q wealth of solid comfort.
 MT Van Wyck's book Is prob- ably pretty inconsequential. and 1t certainly is rambling and dlf- fuse; but 1t does get across the essence of 0 vanished time as 1t looked to Q fortunate man who lived in 1t and found 1t good. and it's rather apt to set you wishing that you had been born before this great age of enlightenment had had its dawn.

COMMISSIONER BUCKINGHAM.
(Hartford Times)

Governor Cross induiged nn ad- mirable discretion in appointing Mayor Edward T. Buckingham of Bridgeport to the compensation commisslonership in the fourth congressional district, succeeding CharIes b. Williamson, of Darlcn, the latter a republican.
 Mayor Buckingham, until the in- cumbency of Mir Williamson, which began four years ago next January, hnd held the commlsSi one erbhjp from It's Inception in the adminis- tration of the late Governor Sim. con E, Baldwin. The excellence of his work in the position was such that he was repeatedly reappointed by republican governors. There was no occasion for removing him except that the party in power wanted the office. His accession to 1t again will benefit the state and reward deservediy faithfulness and experience.
 There will be no resignation of the mayoralty, upon MT Bucking' hams part, ntN least for q consider able time. Public opinion in Bridge port would oppose 1t. To avoid q proper enough criticism of profiting exceptionally from the public purse Mayor Buckingham will return to the city all his salary of $7,b00 as mayor, save the sum of one dollar. He will thus be . unique "dollar. n n.yenr" man in New England mayoralties. ",rhis is part of my economy program for the city" ho declared, Friday. It is an example under the circumstances well set.

Everybody has wondered at the remark able ability of Harry E. Mackenzie, Rora- back lieutenant in Fairfield county, to take care of himself in the topsyturvy political upheavals through which he has been tossed. Just at present the g.o.p. leader is the U. s. Employment Commissioner for Conneeti- cut having under his supervision all federal employment bureaus in the state. He will lose that when the democrats take control of the federal government in March. A few years ago he was state labor commissioner. This he lost. with the election of Governor Cross. to Joseph Tone, the present neum- bent. His first political venture in the state was as prohibition administrator for Con- neetieut. In this capacity he isn't so well remembered, but everybody recalls that there never seemed much difficulty for Mir Mac kenzie to locate a state or federal position for himself when one was needed. Now it is being rumored that he will be the next superintendent of buildings at Hartford This office is under the control of the comptrollers office, who is Fairfield county republican and member of the Mackenzie organization down there - Anson F. Keeler of Norwalk. Will Mt Keeler oblige Mir Mackenzie by keeping him in the political limelght for two more years2 We don't doubt but what he will.
 The Fairfield county lieutenant bears a charmed political life if anyone does.

Ocean Shipping

Statistieians say that the United States government has appropriated since 1916 more than $3,600,0 100000 for the pur- pose of creating and maintaining an Amer iean merchant marine. The purpose has been recognized almost universally as sound. 1t is desirable to carry our own freight in our own ships if we can, and as much foreign freight as possible. The carly wealth and prestige of our nation were built largely on ocean shipping.
 But the effort in this last decade and a half has certainly been costly. Always there is deficit. Always the Shipping Board shows loss. Lately, with the government so hard pressed for money to meet mpera- tive needs, there is more question of such expenditure. There is less and less work for ocean shipping. as our foreign markets dwndle and our own market for foreign goods is curtailed.
 It is the same with other sea powers. The ocean is greatly "over-bult." There is far too much carrying capacity for an interna. tonal trade shrunk by prohibitve tariffs in all the big producing and consumng eoun- tries. Unless the nations somehow agree to lower those walls to a more reasonable protective level. there will soon be hardly any ocean freight at all to carry. What will happen then to our costly merchant fleets?

 Washington.-The south soon will be back "in the saddle" more effectively than at any time since before the Civil war.
 The republicans probably will be found hollering about 1t soon after the Roosevelt administration and the Seventy-third Congress come into being. Although the ideea that the south will be impos- ing on sectional rule on the rest of the country is a false alarm, her sons will be heavily sprinkled through the positions of federal power.
 Vice president -elect Jack Garner of Texas, to begin with, will be the first president or vice president elected from below the Mason Dix on line since Lincoln and Andrew Johnson ran on the same ticket in 1864. He is not the first man from that section to be nominated by the democrats for second place, but he Is the first whose nomination has done him any good. And the fact canont be ignored that he might become tho. south's first president in three score or more years.
 You might even begin the list with Roosevelt himself. For years he has been living Q large part of the time in Georgia, which he has described us his "second home" He can hardly be regarded as Q 100 per cent "Yankee". He won his nominatoin through support of an overwhelming number of the politicians of the South and West. The next speaker Is likely to be southern man. The. three lead- ing candidates to succeed Garner arc Joe Byrns of Tennessee, John McDuffie of Alabama and Majority Leader Henry Rainey of Illinois. Rainey hasn't any edge in the con- test. He lives on farm so far south in Illinois that he is in no sense associated with the northern urban democracy. And If ho should win, the democratic leader in tho house who succeeded him surely would be a southerner. whereas if Byrns or McDuffie win the leader will be Rainey or an- other northerner.
 The north and west get thelr break in the next congress through the fact that they have suddenly elected enough members to the democratic majorities to end the south's numerical congressional mn . jority in the party. That should nllay any weird fears about the danger of sectional rule. but the south will get nearly all the impor- tant posts on Capitol Hill because 1t has kept olecting 50 many of itt representatives consecutively for such long periods as to qualify them under the seniority tradition,
 Joe Robinson of Arkansas pre- sumably will be the senate's ma jority leader. Senator Morrlf Sheppard of Texas doubtless will remain as the democratic whip Key Pittman of Nevada is the most likely choice to succeed George Moses of New Hampshire as the senate's president pro tenn.
