The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-25

sions, Senator Julius B. Strcm- lau of Meriden, one of the "fathcrs' of the plan to take care of persons in their old age, is to be candidate for reelection to the senate on the democratic ticket. Senator Stremlau is now head of the old-age bill campaign bureau being conducted by the Eagles, one of ConneCticut's leading fraternal organiZa- tions. The headquarters of the bureau is located in Mcriden. Senator Stremlau is a staunch supporter of Governor Wilbur l.. Cross and was largely re- SponSiblc in having the old age pension question brought to the fore in the last two scs- sions of the legislature.
 Throughout the state women democratic leaders who have felt right along that they were political heirs to the po- Sition of national committee woman, now held by Mrs Fannie Dixon Welch of Co., 1umbia, present federal cus- toms collector for Connecticut are reported as being greatly upset over the sudden turn in the chances of them getting the post. Mrs Welch, under n plan outlined by National Committeeman Archibald Me- Neil, will resign to the na- tional committee and not to the democratic state central committed. Her resignation will be held up indefinitely there. Waterbury was understood to be especially interested in seeing Mrs Nora Mahaney Harris of New Haven, former local school teacher. get Mrs Wclch's post on the national committee. The chances are pendent on action far in the future.
 Watcrbury's so-called "pri- mary list scandal" continues to fade more and more as reports pour in from other towns. First cities such as Meriden and New Haven were supposed to have Implications. Then a small town, Hamdcn, stepped into the picture iwth a similar scandal" Now towns throughout Connecticut are appearing in the picture. Waterbury wasn't the worst town at all.
 The old cry of fixed charges" is to be a feature Of the coming legislature. StratfOrd has decided, through its town council, to take the bull by the horns and ask the legislature to order lower prices. Every session more than 100 bills are introduced asking that the fixed charge be eliminated and the rates lowered. Representative Dan- iel J. Mahaney of this city in- trOduced his share of last sessions bills of this nature. None of the bills reached first base but Stratford has elected to be the first to go on record this time as being against the power company's rates with the opening of the 1885 ses- sion of the legislature.
 New Britain republicans to- day partly confident that they might avoid battle next Tuesday over the question of who will be the new g.o.p. town chairman. At press hour the supporters of Edward J. Gardner and Attorney Selig Schwartz, both seeking the chairmainship, were well en- trenched and waiting for the sound of the gun Tuesday. Prominent leaders of the New Britain and Hartford g.o.p. ranks were understood today to be making efforts to bring about compromise.

Capital and Labor


 According to competent auth ority, the income tax returns for 1929 show that two percent of the people of. the United States enjoyed T two-thirds of the net income, of all the people., ..4<. Da - .',.'
 Furthermore, these returns showed that 504 individuals had income sufficient, if added together, to buy and pay for all the wheat and, cotton grown in the United States, the product ion.,'of which, required the eff forts and labor of two and 'cne- half millions of people. U
 During. the last z. thirty-five years, the share of capital in the profits of industry, has in- creased more than five, times,
 ' ewing to machinery and mass production. Labor,s, share has been less than it was a third of a century ago. The share of capital was five-fold greater; the share of labor was dimin- i,shed. ,n r. y..s :. Can a civilization, which per mits and encourages such manifest inequalities. continue indefinitely without the de- basement of labor to a state of serfddm as complete as ob- tained in Russia under the Czarist regime or in the Middle Ages?
 Plainly it is timeefor, the masses wk5 labor and produce to realize the y dangers that threaten them and by thought and study of politics, and econ- omics learn how to. protect themselves through intelligent u,1e of the dominating power given them by the ballot.

Contracted Currency
 And L o W P ri c C s

Considerable confusion of thought appears to exist locally as to the. reasons why currency and credit contraction induces low prices and in extreme cases that severe economic condition which we. have lately come to designate as "depression."
 Reduced! to simple terms, the processes, involved operate in this manner,: When currency
Hyder weekly herald., 1934-03-10

and credit are contracted, eith- CT as a result of changing econ- omic conditions or deliberate manipulation by large money and credit controlling interests the latter being the motivat- ing cause of most of our depres- sions-go'ods, products, seek dollars, in order that the own CTS may obtain cash with which to purchase other desired con- modities, pay debts, etc. In other words, goods, Ibid" for dollars and more goods are of- fered by the owners in order to obtain the desired dollars or equivalent credit.
 Dollars thus become relative ly "dearer" or of higher value, as more goods or products are offered to obtain them.
 Inversely, goods or products become cheaper because mo,:e of them are rendered in ex- change for dollars. If this pro- cess of offering more and more goods for dollars were c'ontin- ued indefinitely, goods in time would become virtually of no value, while the purchasing power, or value, of the dollar would increase as long as more goods continued to be offered for dollars. From this it will be seen that every '''hid" or of fer of goods in exchange for dollars tends to send the dollar value upward and the goods value downward. !
 On the other hand, when cur rency and credit are expand ed," or become plentiful, the dollar and credit seek goods ie. investment. ..4.s
 In this situation dollars bid" for goods and more dollars are offered to secure goods. This demand fer goods works auto matically to increase their val ue because more dollars are rendered to secure them. In this process the value or pur- chasing power of the dollar be- comes less and the value of goods greater. e.
 In either situation the en- hancement Or lowering of val ues is dependent upon quantity or supply of goods or dollars, and the desire for exchange manifested by their respective owners. -.

FIRE AT HOME
JUDGE BOYCE

HOME DAMAGE AT $4,000

Judge William H. Boyce was
forced to fee from his home on
State street, opposite the Hotel
Richardson, Dover, early Monday
morning shortly after the midnight
hour when fire broke out in the
cellar supposedly from a defective
heater. An aged negress, his
housekeeper, who has been with the

to grope her way to the street

lives alone. The rear portion of
the house was badly Quilted by the
flames and the entire building, a
two and one-half story frame
structure was badly damaged by
smoke and water. The furniture
was ruined as very little could be
saved. Firemen were unable to
get into the building because of
the dense smoke. The loss was
estimated at more than $1,000 af-
ter the flames were under control
about 40 o'clock Monday morn
ing. Judge Boyce did not have
time to snatch up any Of his cloth
ing and reached the street in his
bare feet after cropping his way
down the stairs from the second
I floor. He was taken into the home
of Mrs. ]. Frank Startling his next
door neighbor where his house

housekeeper, known to many resi-
dents only as Markaret was awak-

his room filled with the choking
fumes. When he opened his bee
room door to the hallway he found
the entire building was filled witt
the dense smoke. He and the
housekeeper managed to make
