In New Haven and Hart ford the democrats have endorsed the re- publican judges, feeling that under ordin- ary circumstances the position should De hon-political. But in Waterbury! Oh, no, the probate judge here, no matter how satisfactory otherwise, is a democrat.
 So MT Blodgett's criticism of the demo- cratic state administration, because 1t has placed few democrats in office, doesn't seem very logical If you count up the persons in Connecticut. who today hold positions in the state government, you will find that easily three-quarters are re- publican. If we have any criticism to make of the democratic state administration, 1t is because it didn't appoint more demo- crats rather than less Even the state liquor control board is two-thirds repub- lican. And how about the states attor- neyship, MT Blodgett's own job? Are there any democratic states attorneys around here? Not where we can see them. Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, Water bury, Litchfield County, all republican. Mir Blodgett's theory of partisanship and civil service works only one way and that is when the republicans haven't the ap- pointing power.

gold profit, now on deposit with the Federal Reserve Banks, brings these Federal Reserve banks into the New Central bank.
 Using this s:, ,s6o. .000, 900 as a base, the Central bank issues new currency. If, instead, the Treas- ury issued this new currency it could issue only up to $2,SOO,- 100000. For treasury notes must have 8 backing of 10O%.
 And that is the big motive be- hind the Central Bank. It would not need 100% note coverage. Coverage for Federal Reserve notes Is only 40 %. So with the Central Bank taking over the Federal Reserve, the gold, nest egg of $2,800,000,000 becomes $7,00O,000,000 in paper money.
 Thus government bills are paid.
 It sounds like financial leger- demain, and to a certain extent 1t is. That is one reason Young Henry Morgenthau-despite his experts-shies away from it. So also does the President. Both would rather stick to the good old fashioned method of raising money by borrowing from the bankers.

It's About Time

We thought the republican candidate for governor, Hugh M. Alcorn, would never touch another issue in his campaign talks other than liquor and milk. lie evidently sensed once more, as he has seV- eral times in the course of the last few weeks, the apathy of the voters towards his attacks. For some unkown reason he decided to talk on taxes. We were quite interested in what he had to say, for we recall as early as 1880, before he was even elected, Governor Wilbur l.. Cross was urging a systematic tax survey In Con necticut.
 It took him three full years to get It. The 1881 Legislature turned down hls proposal for a special commission to study the situation with the avowed purposes of making recommendations that would radically change our tax structure. Two years later the 1883 Legislature acqul- esced. The special commission went to work It held hearings for many months. It then deliberated. Its findings are just about ready to be released to the pubic in report to Governor Cross. Whether this comes before or after election we don't know It's such big topic it might we'll wait until the election quarrels have subsided.
 Nothing is needed more in Connecticut than this shake-up in our tax laws. For years it has been apparent that too great n burden is being placed on certain classes of taxpayers. The homeowner today pays more than his fair share of the cost of government. The motorist, to this writers way of thinking, is another to get "soaked" And he would be further ssoaked" if law-solons had their way. Connecticut is fortunate in the size of its gasoline tax. Its motor vehicle registra- ton and operators license fees are ex- cessive.
 Many of these facts, are recognized. Thereforesit is the easiest thing in the world to make the proper adjustment. But unfortunately our modern methods of government demand more money than can he raised in the ordinary ways. And un- less a state desires to bond itself heavily, thus imposing large interest bill, there aren't many ways out of the difficulty other than raising higher and higher the tax wall We contend today as we have in the past that tax walls must be lowered; so must the costs of government. There are ways of doing it without destroying the present efficiency.
 No political party can be at loggerheads with another on this subject. It is uni versal topic, not partisan one. Taxes Ill Connecticut are high. We can lower them. There are too many ways and means TOT a state as forward and progressive as ours to be baked. We sincerely hope that the survey commission has tackled the problem with the idea that govern ment today is expensive and must be brought within reason. After that it's an easy matter to bring costs down to level where the. complaint is that one group of taxpayers bears the burden, while others escape scot-free.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-10-24
How About It, MT Blodgett?

Former Tax Commissioner Blodgett seems to have quite little to say by way of criticism of the State Tax Department because the new Tax Commissioner, Sem ator Hackett, has hired one or two demo- crats and given them place in his office. It is the same old story. When the repub- licans lose, they fill the air with cries that the republican jobholders must be retained, because they are efficient and experienced and everything ought to be on a basis of non-partisanship and Civil Service reform. But when they win, they forget all about these shoutings the very next day, and all the jobs go to the re- publican henchmen, whether the displaced democrats are qualified and experienced or not. They are democrats and that's enough
 We can remember the time years ago when we had our last democratic gover- nor. Our local courts were made non- partisan, one judge of each political. faith, and, during their term of office, they kept entirely out of politics, as judges and states attorneys should. But did they stay there? Indeed they didn't. Just as soon as republican governor was elected, our courts became solidly republican again from top to bottom, clerks, prosecutors and all. So with the compensation com- missioners. They were originally .non- partisan selections, chosen by a demo- cratic governor from both parties. But when the republicans got entire control, they fired out all the democratic compen- sation commissioners and made the list of commissioners unanimously republican,
 And what about the higher courts now? Supreme court, four to one republican,; superior court, eleven to three republicans; and two of the three democrats wouldn't have been there at all if Governor Cross hadn't been elected. Both of these courts

For example,: If they (the pupils) are confronted with a problem that is very per- picking and the teacher asks the question, Are there any ques- tions?" the majority of the stu dents will be- reticent and not comply with the teachers request, fearful of admitting that they are not familiar with the subject un- der question, because they might be classified by their classmates, and the teacher, as being dumb.

Waterford In Danger

One of the consequences of the recent drouth is apt to be disastrous reduction in the number of American waterfowl. Arthur Newton Pack, president of the American Nature Association, says that the drying up of so many streams and ponds has brought about an alarming decline in the numbers of game birds - so much so that sportsmen in some states are even urging closed season.
 "But, instead of being accorded free dom from shooting" he adds, 'the har- assed birds now face an open season that promises to be the most disastrous in the history of North American wild fowling." :" Most hunters undoubtedly would gladly agree to a curtailment of this falls hunt ing season, if they were fully convinced of it's necessity.
 From every standpoint, it would be a calamity for us to lose any of our present species of waterfowl. To no one would it be more of calamity than to the hunters themselves
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-10-24

ly would have eliminated the very ugly and uncalled for demonstIa- tions that have occurred the past few days. In closing, I hope to leave you with the suggestion. that (Fear) is obliterated from the schools and that the present upsetsIin the morale of the local high schools, reaches an abrupt and friendly ter imitation.
 Sincerely yours,
