THE MACKEREL MARKET
(New Britain Heraldl


 Mackerel fishing along the New England coast has been a grand success from the standpoint of catches. But the success from the standpoint of prices received has not been very notable. The trc- mendous oversupply in the logest prices in a generation.
 But with the new deal in prog ress the fishermen have taken to the fermentation of ideas. The com panies owning the boats in which hardy men go out upon the deep to fish held a meeting and unani- mously agreed to break the Sher- man-Anti Trust law or any other law preventing trade agreements. In other words, they are fed up with red ink.
 Hereafter every boat will be permitted to bring only specified number of tons or pounds of fish to port; and nobody will sell them for less than stipulated price. The supply will be strictly controlled and the prices also.
 The companies having agreed unanimously and there having been no objectors registered, it appears that the mackerel fishing indus try will be uplifted to the plane actuating the California fruit grow CTS ,who for some years now have taken care not to ship more fruit to market than the market could stand, and seeing that the price therefore fits the cost of operation plus a reasonable profit.
 The mackerel fishermen are do. ing exactly what the Roosevelt ad- ministration in the farm bills wants farmers to do. The first move to raise the prices of basic commodi- ties is to eliminate the surplus; and the quickest way to achieve this end is to produce less.

sity unless the state is prepared to
 waste very large sums of money and encourage local extravaganza
 where the demand for thrift is ov- erwhelmingly imperative.
 Further, such standardization of
 welfare expenditures is a condition
 precedent to participation by the state in federal aid. Federal aid
 may prove to be something Con-
 necticut cannot well afford to lose It would seem as if the back
 bone and principal members of a
 bill could be agreed upon in a
 very few minutes by those whose
 responsibility 1t should be to pre- pare 1t for the legislature.
 We think that it should have
 been done some time ago.
 The questions of financing. and
 of detail may take more discus
 sion, much of which should be in open hearings op on the floor of house and senate well before the taking of a vote in order to give
 the public opinion of the state a
 fair chance for registration re- garding proposals which will touch every tax paying interest.
 It is high time that the confer
 ees should stop hemming and haw-
 ing and fling and an-ing and get
 something definite and potential down on paper for the legislators and the people to read.

A Sock At Yale

The bill passed in the House Friday tax ing certain athlete fields of incorporated ed- .ucational institutions is nothing more nor less than a means of collecting money from Yale University. There isn't another school ,-in the state. so far as we know. that will be affected by the ruling. Of course the bill isn't law yet. but its speedy acceptance in the House seems to indicate that as yet Yale men in the Legislature don't realize what they are imposing on their Alma Mater.
 Originally it was the idea of the bill to levy taxes on school athletic fields that are now exempt. particularly those from which revenue is derived, such as football gridirons. baseball diamonds, basketball courts etc. As the law now reads these are exempt for tax unless they show a certain amount ot revenue over and above expenses. How many of them can show a profit in these days? The bill was amended when it came to the House. SO that Yale University is the sole school affected.
 Its golf course which lies partially in New Haven and partially in West Haven will now become subject to taxation in the latter town. West Haven has been trying to collect taxes on the golf course property for some years now. The school corporation has consistently pointed out that the golf course like practically every one is not pro- dueing revenue over and above its expenses We would presume that it would show loss over any period = one. two or even five years.
 Now. if we are not interpreting the bill incorrectly, Yale will be obliged to pay taxes on its athletic property that lies out side New Haven. where the school proper is located. And as result of this rather odd amendment other schools which were try ing to get reconciled to the idea of added taxes will not be affected at all. It doesn't seem quite fair to us even though the addi- tionsl taxes are badly needed.

We don't blame Rep. Martin J. Kennedy, New York democrat. for coming to the de- fense of Alfred E. Smith. Not that Mir Smith really needs it. He can certainly fight his own battles In this instance. though. there was no occasion for Mir Smith to fight back. He was just ignored. That's what made Rep. Kennedy and others see red or criticize Postmaster General Farley. In recent radio talk MT Farley dwelt at some length on the necessity of repeating the 18th amendment. In the course of his remarks he mentioned many prominent citizens who fought for the cause of repeal in the last ten or twelve years Mir Smiths name was not mentioned. Rep. Kennedy said. T have deep respect for the sincerity and industry of our chairman. as have for our able President. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Nevertheless I am convinced, as is the vast majority of our citizens that without the uneeasing efforts without the transcendent ability of Alfred E. Smith, we would never have reached the pinnacle of

SCRIP IN HISTORY
(New Haven Journal-courier)

(New Haven Journal-Courier)
 A financial history of the United States might be written in terms of scrip; a national picture blockei in with certificates that have been used as exchange-mediums. At least the lower loops, the bottom sweeps of the national financial graph could be illustrated by ex- hibits of scrip; for time and again these states have justified Walter WinchelPs label, the United Mis- takes" and have been forced to resort to unofficial paper eertifi. cates. The New York Historical society has met revived interest, has put on exhibition a collection of certificates, coins and tokens, each of which has served as money in some past crisis.
 The panic of 1887 is fine one to start with, comforting for com parison; for it is usually referred to as the worst in the history of the country. The blueprint for de- pressions was clearly printed then Speculation and over-expansior featured the preceding boom years: then the inevitable toppline of the topheavy financial structure Gold and silver melted from circu. | lation; there was little cash avail. able; ready money was at a prem. ium.

CLOVER
(Hartford Courant)

(Hartford CouranD
 The Smithsonian institution an- nounces the discovery of seven- leaf clover, which grows about two feet high. It has been found in the state of Washington, and the insti- tuition wonders why it has not been reported before. Clover, two feet high is generous, thoug types of na- tive clover may occasionally exceed it. We are, though, chiefly interest ed in the seven leaf since the stan dard set by clover itself requires but three leaves or lobes to each leaf stalk.
 One wonders who started the pleasant myth that to find a four leaf clover is regarded as good luck, and we ask for specific in- stances of cases where good for tune has followed such a discovery. The four-leaf clover is much more plentiful than the men and women who have the knack of seeking it. The 'lucky" leaves are numer- ous now.
 Having seen four-leaf. five-leaf, and six-leaf clovers this year we are not prepared to say that the or dinary white clover cannot or has not produced a seven-lobed exhibit of it's own. This possibility is sug- gested by the examination of a six lobed leaf found in Wethersfieid less than a week ago. It appeared that two leaf stalks had joined all the way from the earth to the leai branch point and there produced

 .(MRS C. J. CD The laughing physician the lady refers to was notably prevalent in westsern New YorK as late as seven years ago.

 The young country doctor who did for this woman what the laughing jackass prayed couldn't be done, has also esta ablished in the teeth of just such pediculous opposition the efficacy of the ambulant treatment of hernia and indeed to-day the independent, thinking physicians of the country are beating path treatment of hernia, and they return home better equipped to serve their patients and in- spred by the human kindness well as the scientific sincerity of the man.

SET UP THE FRAMEWORK
(Hartford Times) )

There seems to be agreement as to the following matters:
 Connecticut municipalities should have financial aid from the state.
 Whether the aid is to come from one source or financing or another, it's application should be uniform in principle among the municipalities. That means a standardization of welfare expenditures at public cost. It also means a degree of surveil- lance over municipal budgets and tax collections. How strong that surveillance shall be may be prop CT question for debate.

time.
"Ah, Doris, have news that

Now was the moment. She tried
to realize what it might mean. Her
