One Year Of The P.W.A.

The nations greatest effort to create employment through giant program Of public works is now just one year old. report on what has been accomplished has just been written by Secretary of the ln- terior Harold l.. Ickes, as public works administrator. It is an admirable report in it's candor. Ickes says frankly that the PWA "has won in many sectors, and lost in others. It has made errors, corrected it's mistakes, and doubtless will make more errors, to be corrected in their turn. But it is wheel-horse in the recovery team .. and it is pulling it's weight"
 Much criticism has come to the PWA, centered on two points: First, that 1t was slow in getting under way, and that increased employment was not quickly felt; second, that many cities which needed PWA money most were denied it So 1t is good that Ickes now sums up what has been accomplished. The whole $3,- 1884. More than billion dollars of the fund has actually been paid in cash Some 16,000 construction projects have been provided for, most of them now under way.
 How many men have been given work? Ickes Is careful not to say, because he feels that any estimate on that basis would be misleading. You might say, for instance, that two million men had received employ ment. But if they all worked one week and then were laid off, that wouldn't be much work, after all So Ickes makes his eotimate on hours of work provided There were 1,41S,000,0 900 hours of honest work at honest wages on direct construction site employment only to men who otherwise would have passed those hours in the ranks of the idle"
 That means 177,250,000 eight.hour days, or 29,541 ,666 weeks work. Or 1t and half men. Almost as much again is assured in coming months from allot- ments already made, and 1t is further esti- mated that two hours of indirect work is provided in producing the materials for these jobs for every hour actually put in them directly.
 So the PWA administration has pro- Wded vast amount of work, and in the heavy and construction industries chiefly, where 1t was most needed. In the main, the huge fund seems to have been spent for projects of value to the public, and without administrative scandal.
 Secretary Ickes is to be congratulated on making frank, straightforward re- port on his handling of the huge sum of public money to which he refers as "a public trust" President Cleveland became famous for his principle that public of- flee Is a public trust" Harold Ickes will gain immortal fame if he can establish like regard for public money.

Time For Planning

We hear much these days of heavy ex- penditures ahead for the state. This is discouraging both to those officials whose duty 1t is to balance the budget, not to mention the thousands of us who pay the bills. Still we cannot help but agree with the general sentiment that the expenses which we plan to saddle on ourselves are justified. For example who of us would 20 so far as to declare there is no need of q new home and training school for the feeble-minded, such as is now c0ntem- plated in the vicinity of this city?
 It will necessitate the appropriation of at least $1,500,000 by the 1885 Legisla- ture. It is quite within reason to expect increased demands for an appropriation to take care of sadly-neglected condition at the state hospital in Middletown. It lS overtaxed right now. This might be aided by erection of another unit of the Fairfield county hospital at Newtown. It might be merely an addition or repairs to the present Middletown structure. In any event it spells money.
 Such sums are well spent. We should not begrudge them. Nevertheless they add to the mounting costs of our govern ment. We must begin, it seems to this writer, to eliminate the useless and obso- lete governmental functions We must recognize the fact that modern methods of securing equal representation for the vast multitude of people does not consist alone in spending their taxes for services which do not properly belong in the sphere of the particular governmental agency or subdivision.
 Connecticut will face tax reform next spring. We presume one is to be suggest ed to the legislators Let us hope it strikes right at the root of the tax evil, namely, the cost of government. No me- chanical device or human methods can substitute the savings that will come with lower governmental costs It's the sure cure for the tax blues. We have preached it for years now. We intend to keep preaching it, for we honestly believe it is attainable and the more so now when so much of mans annual income goes to the support of the many governments under which he functions.

Devious Way.

The ways of mankind and also politi- clans may best be described as devious. Nothing better exempllfies this bit ot theorizing than the patronage situation m our own state. Congress having ad- journed the fate of two of our federal ap- pointees, who failed of confirmation at the hands of the Senate, was left in the balance. It eventually developed that they could not possibly be renamed to their DO. sitions by recess appointments, that pro- cedure having been adopted once and proving q failure so far as majority of the members of the Senate was concerned.
 But there is more than one way ot mending situation. An acting collector of Internal Revenue has been appointed in the person of A. Don Bitgood of Plainfield, chief field deputy of the department. It is expected that one of his early appointments will be that of the former chief, Dr Ed ward G. Dolan, to the position of chief field deputy or chief office deputy both of which posts are now vacated, the latter by reason of the transfer of Samuel w. Tator of New Haven to the office of fed- eral administrator of the Farm Market Bureau of Connecticut.
 Appointment of Dr Dolan to either ot the above will then be followed by Mir Bit goods resignation as acting collector and the advancement of Dr Dolan to his former job and the return of Mir Bitgood to his old one. It may sound complicated, but it's just one way of doing something that probably was entirely unnecessary had not politics reared it's ugly head in Connecticut once too often. We're inclined to think the administration erred in the Connecticut problem. It should have been disposed of promptly in 1883 and with some regard for the first democratic sem ator that Connecticut has had since the Civil War or thereabouts. That's just one opinion advanced with no intention of further complcating matters.

A Book a Day
This Mystery Tale Is A Real Puzzler
BY BRUCE CAPTION

"The Plague Court Murders" by Carter Dickson (MorrOw: $2), is q mystery yarn that can Do recon. mended without reservation. It's ingenious, exciting, c0mpetently written, and altogether a fine book to sit ID nights with.
 1t soerps there arc funny doings In q haunted house in London, md n convincing splritualist gets stabbed to death while occupying that delight of the detective story readers heart -- locked room which no ono could possibly have entered or loft.
 Scotland Yard getting nowhere with the mystery. things arc turned over to an eccentric old cusg who runs everything down in no time. And no matter how clever you arc at foresecInR the upshot of q myH- tery story, doubt very much if you'll be able to guess the outcome of this one.
 You might have known that murder would go nudist, sooner or later. It happens in Murder Among the Nudists," by Peter Hunt (Vanguard: S2). A woman resident Of q nudist camp is found dead beside q washing machine -- and please don't ask what wash. ing machine was doing in q nudist camp - and, anyhow, the police chief has to strip and join the nud- ists to run down the clues and whatnot. It's all very pleasant and entertaining, somehow.
 Two Bourbon princes had hanged themselves, many years ago, by throwing q rope over the large evil own in the middle of five that were carved above an old doorway near Dijon. Tn 1880, the third Amer. ican Hinchliffc. then in the midst of making his millions, brought the paneiing owls and all. back to America and installed 1t in his mansion in Illinois.
 Of course, the curse of the owls persisted, even down to the pres- cnt, else Robert J. Casey wouldn't have written "rhe Third owl" (I3obbs Merrill: $2) and you might have missed some good en- tertainment.
 MT Casey is n newspaperman, a 'star reporter" whose rowing as- signments are tho envy of avery hews hound. And he is, likewise, deft fashioner of mystery yarns, This, I believe, is the fifth of a 0uite satisfactory list.

 MT smith shid tho book Is ono that has been used In the schools for many years and that 1t was the first time anyone had called the in- cident to his attention. lie was not prepared to say just what action would be taken In the matter.
 "Gomez said he had already the Spanish and Portuguese consuls in New York urging them to conduct an investigation and have all text books with such libel removed from schools not only in Bayonne, but every place else In the country"
 The Bayonnc school board is not alone iD being open to the charge of putting literature Of this kind In the hands of boys and girls. Tho trouble is due in measure to the fact that members of textbooks committees do not familiarize themselves with tho contents of books circulated in the schools. Au- thors of grammars, geographies and other works of that kind do not require much supervision on the part of school officials, but hiss tories that denl with the character of peoples, religion, politics and so forth should be perused carefully by competent, impartial commit tees before they are put into the hands of pupils, who are just conn mencing to form opinions that will have an influence on their minds as long as they live.
