Obey The Law

Tax Commissioner William H. Hackett has ruled wisely on Hartford tax matter that was recently referred to his depart Corbett of that city he has urged strict ad- herence to the law in all matters dealing with taxation. Tt is doubted" says Com missioner Hackett, that the Tax Comms- sioner should expressly, or by implication, place the stamp of approval on any local assessment, practice or custom which is con- trary to the letter and spirit of the law, as interpreted by the courts. - That's sound reasoning on any public matter we think.
 And without referring to any particular case or incident we think that it would be wiser if all cities and towns in the state lived up to the very letter of the law as regards tax affairs There are too many indications that the laws mean little or noth- ing to the officials named to interpret and enforce them. Oftentimes they make their own laws to cover specific cases. While that may satisfy all interested parties, 1t is not wise procedure. It IS much better to enforce the law hard as 1t may come on some indi- vidual.
 He oldte ak NoHlIIllSSloneI III IeIuSHS to overlook any such violation of local ordi- nances as may come to his attention is sim- ply living up to his duty as an official of the state. If he were to imply in any man. ner that the tax statute violation might be overlooked it would simply result in whole sale violations. For if. one town or ind- vidual could get away with it. surely others would follow suit and expect and perhaps demand immunity. We can quite agree with the State Tax Commissioners position in this matter It is far better to live up to the laws than to allow one exception and expect as consequence whole-hearted support

Bankers and Banking

The former president of now defunet bank. testfying before a state investigating committee, admits that if he had it to do over again he would eliminate many prac- tices which were common in bis bank before it closed its doors. Hindsight has revealed to him that banking reforms which his own bank fought in the state legislature would have been wise.
 He believes now that banks should not have security affiiates. should not profit from dealing within their separate depart ments. should not dress up their statements to convey wrong impression of assets. should have small boards of directors who really direct and should make no loans to officers or members of the board. He planes the prevalence of such practices in the past on the fact that they were legal, overlooking the fact that sound banking was never forbidden by law.
 Many of the troubles of his bank were avoided by institutions in which the pur- pose and proper operation of banks were understood. That is, where bankers were bankers and not speeulators. they escaped disaster. Perhaps there ought to be law providing that only persons who understand the basic principles of sound banking be permitted to control banks.

~ No Real Isolation

Dean Gauss of Princeton. writing in the current Scribner's, reminds his readers that the great nations. from the beginning of his- tory, have been the trading nations. National decline has been the fate of those which withdrew from or were forced out of world markets. It is implied that the present pol icies of isolation and extreme nationaism of this country and of some of the Euro- pean countries mark the beginning of the end for all concerned. Perhaps that is so. Perhaps it is our eivilizaticn's turn to go the way of ancient Egypt. Greece and Rome. It is prospect we don't care for. even in such illustrious company. But is there not little hope?
 Complete isolation is much harder to achieve these days than it has been in the past There is tremendous international trade now in ideas. the arts. travel. eduea- ton. It is true that we have damned the works somehow in the matter of easy ex- change of raw materials and manufactured goods. but so long as we are speeding up .he exchange of intangible things we cannot De truly isolated In time we may even solve the production and consumption pug zles which disturb us so geatl" now and re-

Over-Manned Industries

An old problem is brought to focus by the governments effort to get excess coal miners out of the mining fields There are at least couple of hundred thousand more men in this industry than can ever be profit ably used to supply all the coal needed.
 One solution proposed is to find room for the surplus miners in industries not over manned. though it is hard to find such in- dustries now. Another is the old suggestion of combining coal mining with some other pa1-year industry. in alternate seasons.
 That. too. is difficult with our industrial organization. But it offers hope of consid- erable readjustment when employers and workers once get used to the idea. There are many different kinds of work that might supplement each other, affording continu- ous employment for our seasonal workers. One of the reconstruction tasks is to fit them together

The death of Chester S. Lord was per- haps more widely heralded than that of more prominent people who have died of recent years in this country. But it was due solely to the fact that Lord probably cre- ated more news and more creators of news than any one man in newspaperdom. As managing editor of the old New York Sun. Lord occupied for B years conspicuous spot in American journalism. It was one of his proud boasts that the late Charles A. Dana referred to him. Lord. as his right hand man. Lord was the guiding genius behind the stories that made the Sun famous in those hey days of reportorial achievements. And the Sun was known as the best written and best edited paper in the United States. Boss Lord lived to be 83 years old. His was full and enjoyable life. And the bus mess that was part of him will always revere his memory.

A Long Fight Won

It has been good many years since pri- vate individuals started to fight to preserve the Sleeping Giant at Mt Carmel from de- struction. And success has finally crowned their efforts. For $30.O00 the Sleeping Giant Park Association has just purchased complete and final rights to the rocky hill side. scared as it is with quarry cuts. The Connecticut Quarries, Inc. received the sum to stop any further blasting. Of recent years the face of the giant has been cut into by fresh blasts. although every one occas- toned fresh outbursts from the park association.
 The case was even carried into the courts and several injunctions granted to prevent any damage to the outline of the sleeping giant, particularly the head which is adja- cent to the New Haven-C Cheshire road and the part of the hill that is most clearly wis., ible. However, the quarry company sim ply shifted the scene of its drilling when restrained. As result this latest action has been forced and $30.000 is being paid for the remainder of the lease held on the land.
 It is particularly annoying that so much of the Sleeping Giant should have been chiseled away of recent years. while efforts were being made to save the spot for state park purposes. Unfortunately the state never seemed to take enough interest in the site to prevent the damage that was done to the hill It remained for the Sleeping Giant Park Association. private group of citizens interested in saving the land. to fight the battle alone. We can only congratulate it on its splendid victory. Some day it may be reimbursed for the amount of money it spent in adding to Conneeteut's outdoor recreation centers.

Washington = Somo at least of those white collar workers about whom General Johnson has been so much concerned aren't getting the benefit of the 40-hour week. The workers in the generals own department, for instance, who have been fixing it so the rest of us won't have to stay on the job so long, frequntly toll far into the night. Lights blaze from the Com merce building, which houses MIRA. until midnight and later: ,-( The general himself works as hard as anyone. Most key officials are at their desks from s to g in the morning until z or at night. | Visitors are so numerous and con- ferences so frequent that most can l be accomplished in the twilight hours. So many of. these officials | return after dinner and may mol get home until 2 or 5 in the morning.
 And, of course, the executive must have his assistants, secre- taries and stenographers around. The result is that a lot ot lovely girls are becoming thin and pale. One slender little MIRA blond has lost four pounds in two weeks, and it's going to be a crime if she loses any more.
 This goes on especially in MIRA, the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, the Public Works Administration, the R. F. c. and other agencies actively promoting the New Deal. But it's also true of many regular departments and bureaus which are operating with new duties and curtailed staffs.

Uncle Sam will spend $63,000,0OO in retaining the Columbia river from the forces of nature, according to recent dis patches from Washington. This includes the erection of large power dam at Grand Coulee. However, the origional plans con- templated for this dam are to be aban- doned. They called for dam 300 feet high. This will be cut to 130 feet, but the foundations will be strong enough so that if the territory ever does become suffi- ciently populated to demand greater electric power output 1t will be possible to increase the height of the dam. The Columbia river reclamation job has long been spoken of in the same breath with that at Muscle Shoals. Undoubtedly in time the opening of vast land areas in and around the river will result in just such boom as is now occurring down in northern Alabama and southern Tennessee. It may seem like a lot of money for the federal government to sepend

Tried To Wipe Out A Clan By Murder

 'The Massacre of Glencoe by John Buchan, is the first of new series of books being issued under the general heading, Great Occa- sions." It is the aim of the publish CTS to make each book graphic sketch of some dramatic moment in history, and-Judging by the first Of the series-the idea ought to. result in some very interesting reading matter.
 MT. Buchan's book deals with that singularly cruel and treacher- GUS bit of wholesale murder by which the English in 1892, sought -tor persuade 1T the wild highland clans of Scotland that any further resistance to the British crown would be worse than useless.
 The British felt that they had to make an example of some clan. They dared not pick a large one, for King William was engaged in wal in Flanders at the time and couldn't spare too many troops; so a small group of some 150 persons was marked for slaughter. \ Troops were sent to the isolated glen where the clan lived. The soldiers made friends With the ln- habitants, were feasted by them, were entertained in their homes; then, early on a cold winter morn ing, they turned on them and be- gan shooting them down in cold blood.
 Even then they bungled the job, Some 35 c1ansmen were slain, and perhaps an equal number perished in flight over the mountains; but the clan as a whole survived and returned to it's valley, the outrage helped to revive the dying Jacobite sentiment among the highlanders- and, all in all, the venture stands as one of the most senseless bits thuggery ever indulged in by re- sponsible government. v
