be good thing to make this forest army permanent affair. To begin with. it is very probable that the nation will have reservoir of unemployed young men for good many years no matter how fully prosperity re- turns. In the boom days of 1928 and 1929 we had more jobless men than it was pleasant to think about: the increasing use of labor-saving devices makes it look as if unemployment will continue to be prob- lem for long time.
 No one needs to De told anything today about the demoralzing effects of unefn- ployment. No one needs to be told anything about the evils of the dole. The one sure way to avoid those evils is to find work for the men who need it; and permanent for est army would provide upwards of quar- ter of a million extra jobs, year in and year out. All of this. of course. would be pretty expensive. You cant feed, house, clothe and pay 250,00 men for year without spending good deal of money. The federal government has plenty of claims on its purse already.
 But it might be money we'll spent. It would be hard to overestimate the financial value of the work such an army could do if it stayed on the job year in and year out. To save the timber resources we have, to develop new ones, to prevent soil erosion, to prevent floods---those are jobs we'll worth doing, even if they are costly. Certainly the question deserves serious consideration. This forest army is too good an outfit to be discarded offhand

Real Stability

Real estate, says a writer who has been studying this field with the aid of experts, Twill work out" He sees no reason for alarm only for patience and faith. lm- provement has begun, but will take time Improvement in farm prices helps in the country. along with farm loans, As the federal home loan movement gets under way in the cities. it helps there. For every farm or city home saved from foreclosure the realty market improves little.
 Generally speaking. this writer holds, indebted property owners can hardly be ex- peeted to pay more than their taxes and mortgage interest at present. They arc doing we'll if they can do that. Rates of interest. wherever possible. should be re- adjusted Ito the conditions prevailing for commercial paper" or to the conditions which prevailed in former periods of dear money. This means usually reduction of to l-2 per cent in the interest rate.
 Real estate. of course, is slow. That is what makes it stable. It has the defects of it's virtues. If it were as liquid as stocks and bonds. it could lose its value as rapidly. After losing slowly, when the tide turns it gains slowly and steadily. The tide has turned now. There is no reason for panic. Property y-owners who keep their heads cool and do the best they can are likely to break even in the long run. Creditors are likely to gain by spirit of cooperation,

Nobody can doubt that what this state needs to end all the arguments and difficult ties attendant on the milk industry is one cooperative organization representative of all interests and endorsed by all. Without such cooperative group we don't see how Connecticut can expect its milk control act or board to function with any degree of success. The long arm of the law has tried to enter the arguments between the farmer and the dealer without much apparent sue cess Right now we'd say that there is no more improvement in the situation than there was year ago. Maybe we're wrong. but we'll have to be convinced. If this single group that is suggested can be formed and can draw up a working agree ment that will prove satisfactory to all interests it will have accomplished half the battle It seems rather odd that milk as valuable and as necessary farm product. as there is. should cause so much more con- fusion and arguing than, say. potatoes or some other vegetable. There may be oc- casonal flare-ups in marketing them, but we can't recall anything like the recent milk wars. All of which would indicate that milk is more valuable as an article of human consumption than some of our other farm products If it wasn't. there wouldn't be much wrangling over prices at the source and at the intermediate points. It would seem as if it is here that the rub commences. Let's hope that something will come of all these

Price Of Gold

Gold producers get a break. The gov ernment has raised the price of their produe for them. The par value of an ounce of gold has long been fixed at S20.67. For an ounce of the metal. miners could get that much gold money or paper. Lately. with this country off the gold standard and our currency fallen. and the international market closed to them. producers couldn't get the full value of their product. If paid at the old rate in currency. they would only have a little more than two.thirds of the world price, because our paper money has been down around 70 cents on the dollar.
 Now the United States Treasury reeos. nizes the world price and raises the paper price accordingly, starting at $2o.62 an ounce and fluetuating with the world mar. ket. Producers can export their gold if they want to. or sell their dust and nuggets for use in the arts and trades. with the Federal Reserve Banks acting as their agents. They have the advantage of the private possessor of gold coin. Apparently there is no pro. vision whereby he can get any more in cur reney than the face value of his gold metal. And he may be fined besides for not turn. ing it in sooner.

Decision Seems Correct

In refusing to make provision for any local option voting in the towns of the state next month Secretary of State John A. Danaher seems guided by the spirit of the liquor control act. He rules and we think correctly. too, that the local option vote cannot be taken until and when the 18th amendment is repealed. In this we believe he will be sustained by Attorney General Burrows if it is necessary to ask his office for . decision on the question. This may cireumvent the plans of several eommuni- ties to vote on local option at their elections in October. but the majority of our towns will not be affected.
 There are only few towns in this state that were bone dry before the prohibition laws went into effect that wish to return to that tsate now that the period of ardity seems to be at an end. Mir Danaher's de- eision not to make provisions on their ball. lots for local option will therefore grieve only few and these few can hardly do any thing but subscribe to the majority opinion. It is specifically written in the liquor con- trol act that it shall take effect in its entirety only upon ratification of the national re- peal amendment That is just about two months away.
 Local option, in the belief of Mir Dana her. and it certainly is everybody else's be- lief. applies solely to the manufacture and sale of what we often refer to as hard liquors. It certainly cannot apply to the manufacture and sale of 3.z per cent beer or wine which have been defined by Con- gress as non-intoxieating beverages. And they were defined thus to permit their sale under the still existing dry laws. When these laws have been wiped off the statute books by repeal then and only then can communities in this state exercise the right granted them under our state liquor control act of local option. Till then let us hold the good thought for prohibition.

Milk Agreement Brings Complaints

Washlngton-Dr Clyde l.. King has been under more fire than any other two administration officials. He Is chief of the dairy section of tho Agricultural Adjustment ad- ministration.
 The essence of tho complaints against him Is that he gives the milk distrlbutors-tho middlemen -n big wido spread which includes . tidy profit margin, at tho expense of farmers on one end and consun- CTS on the other.
 King, is short, horid, gray haired man of serious mein. He carries c cane. Hefhas been an au- thority on dairy problems and milk marketing for many years and has been professor of economies and political science at Pennsylvania and other universities.
 Worked With Plnchot Under Governor Clifford Pinchot he was sueeessively secretary of state, budget director, secretary of revnue and chairman of the public utility commission in Pennsylvania. Ho makes no apologies for the milk agreements; his attitude seems to be take them or leave them." Privately, he contends ethere Is no way to learn milk distribution costs without getting at the milk com pany books, whch can only be done by AAA Agreements which promise stabilization and control instead of euthroat competition.

 While the late Judge William &. credit on the federal bench during his decade of service, one must feel in reviewing his public career that the nation his public career that the nation would have been served to its greater advantage had he rec fnained in the United States senate.
 In 1922, when President Hard- ing appointed him { othe bench, he had been II years in the senate, and had developed notably as a pro. gressive republican of moderate views with rapidly developing quail .ities of leadership. By.1e22 he was head of the first farm bloc" in congress; doubtless the suspicion was we'll founded that President Harding offered him a federal judgeship in the hope that the agrarian insurgent movement in the republican party would be serious ly crippled by the loss of it's lead CT. The hope was not vindicated by later events.

The good old United States hotel up at the Spa has been sold for taxes. What memories this, little item is going to pro- duee. The Spa in this case happens to be Saratoga Springs New York. And the United States hotel is one of it's show places although not much to look at from the exterior. Still visit through it would reveal the grandeur and glory of day gone by when it's long corridors and various rooms were eluttered with the elite of New York society. It is possible the hotel may be redeemed as the law grants two years for this purpose. However, the taxes. less than $l3.000, must be paid off plus 10 per cent. And unless the races start drawing more crowds than they have of recent years the good old U. S. hotel seems doomed to go.

 should enable towns to borrow di-

 third, 1t should icgislatc immediate

This intervention, of course, is completely logical. though federal |appointees may deprecate it. The state, ultimately responsible for the activities of it's subdivisions. has . right to oversee them in times of crisis.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Is, 1888
Here's The Yardstick

President Roosevelt has at least fulfilled one campaign pledge, Announcement of the rates that would be charged for electric power generated at Uncle Sans plant at Muscle Shoals has just been made. Per- haps a good many of our voters will have forgotten by this time, what with NRA campaign drives on their mind. that during his tour of the country before election President Roosevelt talked considerably about private and public ownership of public utilities. He said enough to make many of the public utility magnatcs of the nation shiver. We wonder what is their reaction the Tennessee Valley Authority.
 The Authority has set rates that cali for resale maximum of three cents kilowatt hour Explaining this David Lillienthal, member of the Authority. says, For the typical general consumer this is an average of about two cents kilowatt hour and for the typical limited user an average of about 2 3-4 cents. For fully electrified home which Is our objective the rate would average seven mills per kilowatt hour. :" The rates can better be explained in this way. The Authority will sell electricity to municipalities at 7 mills kilowatt hour. Resale prices through private companies would virtually be fixed at three cents for the small consumer. two cents for the medi- um, one cent for large consumers, and four mills for the heaviest consumers.
 We don't know what the reaction of pri- vate companies will be to these rates but it will be interesting to see what concerns in various sections of the nation have to say. Of course. we must not lose sight of the fact that any government plant can be oper- aeed far more eheaply than a private one The element of profit does not enter into the first. Private companies must make sufficient to guarantee their owners and also owners of stock in the company dividends sufficient unto the investment. We're all stockholders where Uncle Sam is concerned and get our dividends in decreased taxes
 That's why President Roosevelt brought up the topic during his campaign. For example. out in Portland. Oregon. he said that Tt is perfectly clear to me. and to every thinking citizen. that no community which is sure that it is now being served we'll and at reasonable rates by private utility company will seek to build or operate u own plant. But on the other hand the very fact that a community can. by vote of the electorate. create q yardstiek of it's own. will in most cases guarantee good service and low rates to its population. :" The first yardstiek is thus created at Muscle Shoals. Others are to follow at Boulder Dam and in the Columbia river basin project. The experiment is worth far more than it's total cost to all of vA,

TEMPEST IN TEAPOT Bridgeport Telegraph

The other day certain MIRA of. ficials in Washington. irksd by sev. eral incidents which they did not fully understand, lashed out at what they considered lack of MIRA cooperation in Connecticut. An offer to send q speaker here from Wash- ington had been declined, and a second speaker, from New York. Frank Waldo, had been disap. pointed at the small audience which appeared to hear his re- marks. There were other state- ments to. the effect that certain in- fiuences were hindering. rather than helping the development of the codes.
 Leaders of the MIRA in this state were naturally shocked an dhurt by these allegations, for they are based wholly on misunderstanding. Instead of waiting for the sluggish and ponderous movement from outside to get started, Connecticut officials had plunged heartily and determinedly into the task before them. Before there was even q hint from Washington that q speaker was ready to be sent heres the state campaign had been mapped out, speakers had been named and assigned, and the whole campaign had been organized in . thorough. business-Iike way. NO one realized that Washington wa so anxious to set it's own speaker into the state.

According to report delivered before the American Chemical Society. meeting this week in Chicago the only magic about the brewing of beer is pure water in it's manu- faeture. The well-known beverage. it is claimed, is very skittish unless absolutely pure water is used in preparing it. This sensitivity is quite unlike that to which we humans are prone. For example. we might shy at water in which there were discolcf- ations or impurities. but water with min- eral content invisible to the eye but noticeable to the taste buds might ruin whole batch of perfectly good beer. That's why brew. CTS have to be on the lookout for good supply. Iron in water ruins beer; salt is harmless. In fact it is placed in the water if it shows deficiency in this ingredient. All of which need not cause anyone to start brewing his or her own beer. Rely on your brewer. He generally knows his business.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Says Electricity Will Bring Utopia

Mir stuart Chase, having been high up on tho mountain tops see- ing a great vision, comes down to tell us about it in The Promise of Power" one of the John Day Cos 2b.ccnt pamphlets; and in the tell Ing thcre is e good deal of genuine cxcitment
 So far, says Mir Chase, we have hardly scratched the surface In our use of electric power. We began by using it to light our lamps and we wound up by making 1t run street cars and turn factory wheels; but eventually 1t will re. mako our whole eociety. free the laborer of drudgery. emancipate the farmer, build up our small towns, reduce the swollen size of our great cities, redesign our homes, revoiutionize our tranB- portation system and put poverty on the scrap heap.
 Tn fact, Mir Chase asserts, If t Is not wrecked by the brute ctpima of an obsolete financial system. it promises q world repiete with more freedom and happiness than man. kind has ever fnown."
 MT Chase's pamphlet does not i explain just how all of this Is to bc worked out. in world bur dcned with human greed, stupidity and prejudice; but that 1t will bc worked out somehow in the near futures ho is qunite positive. "Eicctricity," he declares, "cap give us universally high standards of living. new and amusing kinds of jobs, leisure, freedom, m end to drudsery, congestion, noise, smoke and filth"
 There's a joker in the deck, how. ever. Your engineer Is tho true revolutionary. MT Chase concludes with tho remark:
 But the price of this bright utopia is an economic system which is based on usc and function, and not on debt and profit"
