pose Of investing in securities on
the theory that equities" have a
better outlook under imitation

Thousands Of Picnics

On recent weekend an industrial city was expecting to have thirty thousand of its citizens attending organized picnies. The Knights of Columbus planned one, the Evangelical Synod churches another; one suburb was preparing homecoming picnic; big department store was holding one for its employees. Among the other pienicking associations were Democratic and Republi- can clubs and Veterans Association. Pic nics of separate churches and lodges have not been mentioned, nor that of the owmen's auxiliary of the Scandinavian Brotherhood of America. x
 The pleasant woods, riversides and beeehes adjacent to that city were going to be the scene of many happy gatherings in those few days. Nor did the 30,000 include the many thousands more who would be going in single car loads; each with its basket and thermos bottle to some desired spot. Ameri- ca takes its. outdoors life more ard more seriously. Nor is there a single city, town or hamlet which has not some pleasant fringe of outskirts where the lemonade. cold fried chicken and potato salad. and home made pickles and rich. gooey chocolate cake may be enjoyed in that easy friendliness which is the essence of the American picnic.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-08-02

collsclotS during recent ytsfs have been taking bigger and bigger share of income. In 1890 the per capita tax. federal and 10 cal, was Sl3.56. By 1913 it had reached $30.z4. and 1929 passed Sl00. The mo- tional income of the United States in 1929 was estimated at around $85. .000. 000. 900. The total tax bill for that year was about $10.000. .000. or roughly l2 per cent of the national income. City governments took the largest share of the total about 30 per cent. The federal government roughly collected 25 per cent. state governments 20 per cent, and local units the remainder. Thus local taxes comprised three-fourths of the burden.
 The size of the tax burden. however. is only one of the problems. There have been innumerable sales of farms and other prop erty because owners could not pay taxes. Billions of tax exempt securities enable big fortunes to escape payments. There are more than 300 instances of overlapping state and federal taxes. The states have invaded income and death tax fields. and other federal government ahs imposed taxes in fields heretofore reserved for the states such as the gasoline levy. :
 Back, of thissis the question. particularly in some of the local communities, of whether the citizen is getting dollars worth of value for his tax dollar. And the still big ger problem of the many tax inequalities. which are admitted to exist. Many state legislatures this year reduced taxes and in- stitnted economics. The federal government is giving attention to duplicate taxation. But only beginning has been made. The so- lution will require time and vast amount of serious study.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-08-02
Why The Charges?

Despite the fact that the Legislature re- fused to sanction parking charges for auto- mobiles using our state parks they are being imposed, it was learned this week. It was definitely known that at the state park at Hammonassett Beach charge of 25 cents was being asked for preferential spots. In- vestigation further revealed there were public parking places also where there was no charge asked, so that 1t was not compulsory for any motorist to pay to leave his car. while enjoying a swim, unless he expressly desired to do SO. However, the fact remains our parks are no longer free for all to come and go.
 Before criticizing the state park and for est commission for authorizing this action at Hammonassett and also at Rocky Neck. Sherwood Island. and Kent Falls. there are several things to be taken into consideration. In the first place appropriations for this commission have been cut to the bone of recent years. It has been forced to get along with far less than it should be allotted. Other departments receive far more atten- tion and funds than they return in invest ments to the state. Nothing could be more VdludDlC Illdu III odliol yiLS liie oeiioho VI SAS public for outdoors recreation. Our state parks and forests satisfy this need.
 There is nothing to indicate whether or not the commission will continue this park ing charge experiment. Perhaps it will end this summer. It may, however. be expanded to include other parks where there is an opportunity to collect fees. The attitude of the general public will doubtless decide any future steps along these lines. And there may be protests from legislators and state officials over such action, unauthorized as it is. But it must always be kept in mind that if we want outdoor playgrounds with trees and natural surroundings, we must pay for them. And we can't do that on the meagre offerings that have been forth- coming of recent years. Although we don't like parking charges on public property. we realize the cause of them and guide ourselves accordingly.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-08-02

Therell be new commemorative stamp this fall. according to Postmaster General James A. Farley. It will commemorate the l5oth anniversary of the admission to American citizenship of General Thaddeus Kosciusko Revolutionary War hero. The stamps are scheduled to go on sale at Chi eago and Boston on October l8 and throughout the nation the following day. This is in keeping with the policy that has been adopted in this country of recent months in paying signal honor to this great patriot who did so much for us in the try ing days of the Revolution. Incidentally the issue may renew the long discussion of Koseiusko's nationality. The commemora- tive was secured through the efforts of the Polish National Alliance of America. Kosei- usko was Lithuanian. although he fought for Poland and is claimed as Polish patriot. Still it remains fact that he was born in
