Forfeited Property

A ye ar ago when some property owners in one of the mid-western states were threatened with a sheriff's sale for delinquent taxes, one of them replied: "A hundred years ago this was all public land. If you officials enforce the letter of the law, you will soon have it nearly all on your hands again. Then what will you do with it'" The authorities thought the matter over and decided not to sell out the delinquentS.
 On January 10 of the present year. in Spotsylvania County, Va, there were +9S tracts of land totalling about 30,000 acres put up at auction for delinquent taxes A crowd of farmers assembled, But in har- mony with the new attitude shown all over the country lately, they did not bid. Only IA parcels. adding up to l33 acres, were sold The rest. one-third of the land in the county, automatically reverted to the state by default. It is not going to do counties and states any more good to own lot of land not paying taxes than to have lot of unpaid taxes on their books. Both situations are reactionary and destructive.
 All such cases drive home still harder the truth that there is nothing more important in this country today than to solve the problem of unpaid taxes. Unless taxes can be paid, government cannot function and public services fail. Unless taxes can be paid, private ownership of property disap- pears and private enterprise and earning power are destroyed Corporations are able to obtain credit. private and public. to ease their private and public debts. When is there going to be adequate credit provision enabling distressed private taxpayers to re- tain their property' Why can they not have their delinquent taxes with penalties dropped. refinanccd on easy terms and amortizcd over tolcrablc period of years giving them fresh start'

pie. We can see no good or sufficient reason for choosing delegates to a state convention. two from each town. when that would not be representative of the people but of the towns themselves.
 Naturally it could be passed by the House because now the majority of it's represen- tatives come from the rural regions. They far outnumber the representatives of the large towns and cities. A thorough survey of the liquor situation might reveal some more plausible means of choosing delegates to a state convention than that pushed forward by Rep. Baldwin. We agree with his resolu- ton in full, save for that one section.

The Flood Is On

From now on until the last day for filing bills we can expect to read daily about measures being introduced to make some change in the existing dry laws of Conneet- cut Of to prepare this state for repeal of the Sth amendment. Rep. John Thoms ol this city had the honor to introduce the first resolution seeking repeal of the state enforce ment act. This is moot question and must be approached with some caution. If the 9th amendment were now repealed or mod flied it would be perfectly proper 10 repeal the state dry law. But to do SO right away simply means that Connecticut enforcement officers give to the federal government the entire task of making people obey the fed eral mandate. Some people may say that condition now exists, so why have law that is meaningless
 That isn't the way to attack the question, though. It won't make much difference one way or the other if the state keeps or repeals it's dry law. What we should do is prepare legislation that will permit the proper control of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in the state. This might be an endorsement of the dspensafy system proposed by Rep, Peek last week, but not necessarily SO. We believe that Connecticut needs to examine the subject of state liquor control thoroughly before adopting one system for it's own. And in this respect Governor Cross suggests liquor survey commission. New York is just about to authorize such a study.
 Right at this point let US call attention 10 the bill introduced yesterday in the Le2Sla- ture by Majority Leader Baldwin. It provides for calling a state convention 10 consider adoption or rejection of the 18th amend ment. This will naturally follow congress sional action to repeal the amendment. lt now seems to be agreed that state action up- on this proposal will be by the convention method and not by state legislatures Our Constitution also provides for these alter native means of approving or rejecting amendments but to date we have only re- sorted 10 the legislative method. The other is untried. Rep. Baldwins bill therefore IS worth more than passing attention because it demands legislation to cali state eonven- ton.
 He would give the governor power 10 call this convention within specified time ir,' it. But, and it's big but he would have delegates to this state convention picked on the same basis that we now select our repre- wntatives in the Legislature. That's as far from the intent of the makers of the Const- tuition as any procedure could be. In Connec. tieut we don't elect representatives in the popular meaning of the word. Actually we have q House of Representatives chosen from towns Our state senators are chosen. supposedly one to definite group of peo.

Yet So Near And Yet So Far

Congress has overridden the presidential veto of the Philippine independence bill With just a little over a month of his term remaining Herbert Hoover still finds him. self unable to win the support of his legis- lators But it may be all for the best that the veto was overridden. At least the United States has made it's first real attempt to give the Filipinos what they have been demand ing for SO long. If it isn't what they want, then the islanders must take little blame on their own shoulders. A good many of us don't know exactly what state of bliss they did hope to achieve by winning free of all American control.
 Filipinos today enjoy just as many rights and privileges as do the resident citizens of the United States. Immigration quotas have no terrors for them because there aren't any. Tariff barriers mean nothing to them, because free entry enables their sugar, eoeoa- nut oil. and hemp industries to prosper tre- mendously. Personally we view the posi- ton of the islanders as mild form of Nirvana, complete happiness Unfortu- nately they regard United States supervision, mild as it is, as a sort of letter around their neeks. Happiness won't be complete until it is thrown off and they are on their own.
 We'll if the special Filipino convention. called for the express purpose, approves the measure just passed by Congress the islands will start to experience almost complete in- dependence very shortly. They will watch Uncle Sams tariff barriers start 10 rise in the Pacific Ocean. They will find them selves not quite as welcome on the mainland as they were at one time due to immigra- ton laws. In other words they will take place in the world with no more advantages than any other foreign competitor of ours. All this will happen if the independence bill is approved and the islands prove they can bear up under the strain during the ten year trial period
 Why bring up the question of being too preeipiatc now To ihc Philippine has been given an opportunity (although some call it by other namcs) to prove 10 tbc world that they arc prepared and willing to be- come nation in every sense of the word ft is up to them in the ten year trial period and not up to Uncle Sam. Perhaps then the services that we perform as buffer may be bit more appreciated. We say this without intending 10 cast any surs upon the ability of the Flipinos to rule them- selves. If they can do this it won't make any difference whether the trial period is one year or ten years.

The state police are doing good job in checking up motor vehicles on our highways
 The campaign was started shortly before Christmas but bad weather caused halt. Now that the drive is on again we sincerely wish the authorities success. Any automobile that is operated with faulty mechanism is a menace to its occupants as well as other cars on the highway. And faulty mechanism need not be merely poor brakes It might be dim lights or glarng ones. It could be a windshield wiper that doesn't work, a cracked windshield or even lack of mirror.

Hoover Is Out Of It

Once President Hoover leaves the White House in March he should reconcile himself to the fact that he is definitely out of na. tonal politics We don't know whether or not he entertains any visions of detating the national politics of his party during the next four years, but if he does, he had better get rid of this idea as soon as possible. The powers that be in g.op. circles have decrecd that the Hoover administration ends on March for all time That means that no Hoover influence will ntrudc itself in the next few years while republicans arc trying 10 build up a machine that will unSeat Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 No president likes to be relegated to the background when his term of office expires, Perhaps the late Calvin Coolidge was an exception. He was glad to get away from Washington and it's deviliSh maehinations which he Skilfuly avoided during bis so' journ there back to the peace and quiet of Northampton home where his very aooi' ness made him all the more valuable to his party as continued threat, We feel that Mir Hoover is somewhat embttcrcd over the fact that he is apt 10 rank with several other one term presidents and will do all in his power to remedy that state of affairs.
 Judging by recent activities in the repub- lean national committee and from under ground messages that are being rclayed back and forth across the country between various leaders the Hoover star seems about 10 set for all time, When he goes out of the White House in March, he becomes just a private Ia L L. .i. !...I. la l of the party the actual head will not be known until l936 unless some formidable member of Congress pushes himself forward And some say that our own J.

The fight for the congressional seat in the fifth district which comes to a climax tomor. row afternoon in the borough court room of Naugatuek is only one of eleven such that will face the new House of Representatives, But Judge Gormey of Naugatuek in his feat to unseat Rep. GoSs has this 10 his ad- vantage, His is the closest election of the entire eleven. On the basis of certified re- turns there are but 78 ballots between the two contestants in the fifth district, Out in Mississippi, Rep. Ellzey was given 25,725 ballots, yet a candidate who received only 3S6 disputes his election on the grounds of illcgality, He says his name wasn't on the ballots correctly. The fiery Fiorclo La Guardia of New York is also contestant for the seat which he lost in the November cleo. ton. Hearings in his claim are already on, On the basis of returns he was the loser by well over 1000 votes Rep, James M. Beck, former Solicitor General of the United States, must fight to keep his place, too. His democratic opponent of last November is eontcsting, although he ran about l7,000 votes behind or the eleven contests for con. greSsional seats, nine of them are being waged by democrats. Three House election committees will hear the claims after the 73rd Congress has convened.

 Washington -- Calvin Coolidgo's denth aecentuated tho vacuum which confronts republicans as they look for n man to run for president in 1036.
 The next election Is q long time off and intermediate political developments are purely specula- tive, but since November the qucs- ton of who could lead tho party back to power hns been very scr- ious business with the republicans
 Many of them felt strongly that Coolidge was the best bet for snl- walton In sight, without forgetting that much would happen In the meantime. Consequently most dls- cussions among republicans gave him q prominent place among the possibIiities--more prominent, in fact, than President Hoover. Now thoy hnvo to fall back on other possibilities and the list seems very thin.
 The sources from which prosl- dontinl candidates are almost in- ynrinbly drawn aro dried up, in- solar as tho x. 0. ? iB concerned. Only subsequent developments In politics, with special reference to congressional leadership and the elections of 1884, can mako them produce good material again.
 No one now has tho vaguest Idea what will bo happening to the country in the next few years or how quickly tho country may do- sire another change, although it seems reasonable to suppose thnt thcre will be q 1036 presidential election contest between domo- crats and republicans.
 Meanwhile, look at tho neld-- There's Mir Hoover, who has led his party through tho worst dofcat any party has had. The only president ever reelected fol- lowing a dofont was Cleveland, who had q popular plurality even whom ho lost.
