To the Editor OF The Waterbury
Democrat, Waterbury, Conn.,
Dear Cir:
Accusations have ragged around
tho veto Of the independent Offices
bill. There has been wide misun-
derstapding OF vital facts. Having
made a special study OF disabled
veterans relief for several years,
perhaps / can help clear the air.
First OF all, the bonus has no
connection with this matter what
soeyer. The bonus was not even
mentioned In the bill which was
vetoed, And the legion at Chicago
voted down all resolutions which
would have called for It's present
payment.
Next, this bill did not restore any
OF those numerous disnbilities.
classified az not connected with
the service, which were cut or W
the economy act last year; nor did
the legion ask to have them re-
stored. Therefore that large saving
remains exactly where II stood.
As to "raiding the treasury" or
"unbaiancing the budget: The
bill provides less than 100000 300
In restoring payments to disabled
World war veterans. And most OF
this tho president himself had AL
ready approved. David Lawrence,
an impartial observer, puts the diff
ference between congress and tho
president, az TO World war vet

part OF the appropriation was To
restore pay cuts TO federal en-.
pl0yes and for Spanish war vet.

president WAS comparatively sfslnil.

Annually we choose the month Of April
as the time Of the year when all people
must be warned about the dangers OF
brush and grass fires. There have been
the usual large number Of them this
spring. There will be more. Perhaps
these few lines, though may prevent one
or two. If SO it is money saved for the
taxpayers of the city, not to mention the
preservation Of thousands Of dollars OF
property. People are too prone to burn
grass and rubbish without exercising the
proper precautions They ignore winds;
they start blazes too big to be controlled
by one person. BE considerable the next
time you start such fire. 1t may result
in loss of life or heavy property damage.

The political columnist of the Hartford
times last Saturday offered the following:
IF Governor Cross asks him to run again,
State Tax Commissioner William II.
Hackett viii try to retain his state senate
seat for third term The commissioner,
however, indicates preference to retire.
Party leaders fear that unless he carries
on, republican will carry his Eighth
New HAVEN district, for Mr. Hackett
has been able to win his district only
through personal popularity. Some other
candidate might lose the seat. The COM
missioner says he will be available again,
therefore, if the party feels it needs his
services in the senate. A state official
can serve in the Legislature, Mr. Hackett
states, pointing to Senator William j.
Fitzgerald of Norwich, who is also deputy
labor commissioner. :" He might also
have referred to the time when Judge
Raymond Johnson Of Manchester WAS
representing his town in the House.. was
judge of the Manchester court, and was
also connected with the Attorney Gen
erals office, which latter position he now
holds alone. Dual jobs, let alone triple,
are always open to criticism from the OPP
position. We wonder how those demo-

Connecticut is not worried over the fact
that Howard B. Gill, who has just been
dismissed as superintendent Of the Norfolk
prison farm colony in Massachusetts, WAS
engaged by this state in aiding in the
Connecticut jail survey. He did not have
anything but minor post in this work,
according to Professor Jerome Davis OF
Yale, director of the survey. Even 80 it
would not mean that his knowledge and
his ability might not have proved Of some
value in our work.

Perhaps the most interesting piece of
news of recent weeks is the announcement
that quietly but steadily plans areprogress-
ing that may ultimately result in the re-
organization of the Merchants Trust Com
pany. If they do materialize, they will
only show the city that what has been said
right along is true, namely, that the bank
actually was in no worse condition when it
closed than many one that managed to
keep it's doors open and is still operating.
We feel confident that no depositor in the
Merchants Trust is going to loose one cent,
other than interest from the date of clos
ing. In way this will be the best adver-
tisement in the world for the institution
that may rise on the ashes Of the former
bank. In addition to being encouraging
news to depositors this information means
quite evidently that we have passed the
worst of the depression. Better times are
at hand.

The realtors OF the state are meeting in
Hartford tonight to thresh out again or
still the question Of property taxation. It's
always vexing us. VIII solution to this
difficulty ever be found? Naturally taxes
are too high on real estate. But that's
because we maintain too expensive a sys-
tenn Of government. Don't blame the Of
ficials; blame the machinery that they
operate. Gut down operating costs and
your problem Is practically solved.

the following hints may save you a
great deal of time and trouble:
When Walnuts are used in baking,
dip the kernels in flour before add

prevent their falling to the bottom
Of the baking dish.
