A Lesson In Banking

That famous Senate Banking Commit tee got most of it's headlines several months ago. Its story is an old story, by this time; most of us, being humanly forgetful, recall vaguely that a midget sat in J. P. Morgans lap, and feel somewhat muddled about the rest of it. However, the committee is reporting it's findings these days, and the reports make interest ing reading. There are some things we ought not to let ourselves forget; among them are the disclosures made by this con- mittee about the ethical code which pre- vailed among the money changers during the recent boom years.
 The committee tells what it found out about investment bankers, for instance. It uses such adjectives as "scandalous" and shocking" and tells of practices which violated "the most elementary principles of business ethics" It recites the sorry tale of the 'preferred lists," by which the big boys let certain public ser wants in on various good things; and 1t adds drily that ''the bankers deny, per haps too vehemently, that they expect any direct considerations" from these benefit charles of banking benevolence.
 It asserts that in floating bond issues the bankers used high pressure methods, begged prices so that they could unload before the bottom fell out of things and filled their prospectuses with "flagrant misrepresentations and concealments." It tells how foreign bonds were issued hel- ter-skelter, with the investors interests completely overlooked, so that the Ameri- can public was induced to shoulder mot only the huge indebtedness of foreign in- dustry, now substantially in default, but also the indebtedness of foreign govern ments."
 And it adds, as a final cracker, that many of the abuses in investment banking arose ''from the incompetence negligence, Responsibility, or cupidity of individuals in the profession" All this, to be sure, is ancient history. We heard it all at the time the committee was taking testimony. Why repeat it all now? Because it is an indictment which we must never forget A few years ago these money changers were posing as oracles and seers. They told us what men were fit persons to run the country and what men were not.
 They made solemn announcements on the issues of the day, and advised us sagely on governmental policies. We listened to them respectfully, and did as they sug- gested. If we keep this whole story i'll mind we shall be a less docile audience in the future - which will be very good thing for us indeed.

Needs Careful Planning

That the tax situation in this state is very grave was indicated before State Tax Commissioner William H. Hackett called attention to it last week in New Haven. The mere fact that it was necessary for the Legislature to authorize special sur very commission to study the situation with the thought of widening the tax base was a reminder of the same thing. And again the mere fact that as long ago as 1880 Governor Cross in campaign speeches declared he would seek tax reforms shows that then as now the problem beset us.
 Also last week Governor Cross took oc- casion to blame republican legislators, particularly those of the 1881 Assembly, for failure to create fact-finding body in the tax field. Their failure to do this was in great part the cause of the Sl4,- OOO,OOO deficit now facing the state. There will be those who will differ with the gov ernor on this point. We have been waiting to hear the retorts of g. O. p. Spokesmen, but it is quite evident none feels compe- tent to debate this topic with the astute leader of the democratic forces.
 There is much work ahead for the 1885 Legislature. Naturally we hope that democrats will have increased their control of the Senate and will be in command ing position in the House to secure more consideration than they nave Ill many years. Only with legislative strength be- hind him can Governor Cross accomplish the reforms that have been suggested by him in his last two campaigns. The report of the tax survey commission due late this year should go far towards suggesting course of action for the Legislature that will be devoid of all political connections.
 Widening the tax base in Connecticut sc that the burden will be lifted from the shoulders of the property owner has been demanded now for decade or more. There is increasing evidence, too, that our gov- ermental agencies find the motorist an easy prey to the mounting tax rate Such impositions must be lifted sooner or later. We advocate simplification of govern ment as the most direct means of lower taxes. There are other expedients. No doubt many of them will be suggested. Let us hope that some will be adopted and

More New Stamps

Two stamp collectors were eagerly dis cussing recent acquisitions. One of them exclaimed: But it's getting to be racket with the governments Any time any country needs some more revenue in a hurry it issues new stamp. That's what Mussolini does, and he's clever" After this outburst, the note-comparing and technical discussion was happily resumed
 The listener-in on that conversation was reminded of it later by news item an- nouncing a new series of stamps to be issued by the U. s. Government depict ing number of the National Parks The first, to be out July 16, will be one-cent stamp bearing picture of El Capitan, famous peak in the Yosemite National Park. The Grand Canyon will be set forth later on a two-cent stamp Eight others in the series are planned. Old col lectors will be watching for all these, and probably whole troops of new collectors will be recruited from the citizenry be- cause of the advertising of the new stamps.
 Whether the new issues are designed to make use of the mails more popular or to entice revenue from collectors seems of little importance. Variety in stamps is agreeable and harmless, though slightly confusing.

 HOUSING WORRIES

 grounds:
 1. Home owners-most of :. them in none too favorable eco- homie condition after four years of depression-will be extremely skittish about going further into debt for renovations and mod ernization.
 ?. Banks, still suffering from depression shell-shock, probably will continue to keep a tight grip on their money bags, de- spite the governments 20 per cent guarantee on all housing loans.
 James A. Moffett, dapper Housing Administrator, and his large staff of publicity shock troops, ebulliently proclaim their 2 confidence in being able to break down the sales resistance of both bankers and home owners.
 But privately they admit it is big gamble.
 INNER CIRCLE CRITICS This is exactly what the inner circle doubters and the openly Progressives in Congress com plain about.
 They hold the time is long past when such risky chances can be safely taken with the country's recovery requirements; that the underlying economic structure is desperately in need of solid sub- stance-and not the uncertain fiurries of shots in the arm"
 Instead of trying to inveigle economically insecure property owners to borrow, they contend that the government itself should have launched vast building and housing program.
 This would have been specific and measura ble. Industry then would be ableJto gauge business expectations, proceed accord ingly.

Washington, Aug 13 - The United States has come a long way from the isolationist days when the revolt against Wood row Wilson slammed the door shut in the face of the League of Nations.
 Latest gesture toward Geneva is the State Departments secret decision to appoint Hugh R. Will son as High Commissioner to the League of Nations."
 This is a move engineered in part by the career men, in part by League supporters in the State Department. They have felt for some time that the United States needed semi-offi- cial representation at Geneva. To date this representation has been partly by Wilson, who was American minister to Switzerland but lived at Berne; partly by Prentiss Gilbert, consul-general in Geneva.
 Between these two, however, there was open, bitter rivalry. W AioSii AS otoNSs 1OlCS son of Chicago's famous shirt maker, has been in diplomacy almost ever since he went to school in Paris. Gilbert is genial, rough-and-ready, son of an army officer, once managed the Rochester (N.Y.) Fair, is not d career diplomat.
 Wilson has now won the bat tie. Gilbert will leave Geneva. ,RETROSPECTION

Eccles is a New Deal republi- can. Until 1890 he was typical orthodox businessman, managing and extending with much skill extensive interests inherited from pioneer father.
 But with the depression spreading it's blighting hand in 1880, Eccles heard liberal eco nomist speak.
 The latter's warning struck deep. Eccles began reading ex- tensively in economies and his tory. He came to the conclusion that the government had to en- gage in great spending pro- gram to revive industry and bat ter down unemployment. He also came to the view that an extensive system of social insur- ance was vital.
 These views-unique for banker-first came to public att tentiOn early in 1882, when Sen. atOr LaFollette invited business men to tell a Senate committee what they thought should be done to overcome the depression. Eccles' plans stood out like d sore thumb.
 It was on this trip East that the young Utahan met Professor May Molay, Professor Rex Tug well, and other potent New Deal figures.
 For a time Eccles was under consideration as undersecretary of the treasury, but his unfamili- arity with government finance weighed against him.
 It now appears he is destined for more important post.

Dr Leonard Greenburg, New Haven health officer, is issuing warnings about using shellfish taken from the waters of New Haven harbor. They are unfit, de- clares the health officer. We should think that New Haveners would be pretty well aware of that by this time. We can recall reading some years ago about ban being placed on swimming in the vicinity of the harbor If we're not mistaken Light house Point was either included or just outside the ban on swimming. It's nat ural for coastal waters to become badly contaminated when large industrial cities, where population is apt to be heavy, to offer serious problem, in the way of health safety. All along our Sound the same problem presents itself in greater or less degree. Connecticut is pollution conscious, to be sure, but our communities as yet have not the necessary funds with which to finance construction of sewage disposal plants. They're coming, though slow but sure.
