Roosevelps Monetary Message

Without citing the specific sectlon o1 the constitution wherein IS vested tne powers over our monetary system, the President, nevertheless, let it be known that right, title, and control of our money in it's basic form (gold and silver) be- longs to the sovereign government The Federal Reserve banks do not wish to give over the gold held in their vaults, though they concede the right of the gov- ernment to the profit on gold revaluatlon
 Question-who owns the gold resident in this nation-the butcher, the baker, the candle-stick maker, poor man, Deggar man, rich man, thief? In other words anybody that could get their hands on on, IL. The bankers have it and by some pnllos- ophv of their own think they are best nt. ted to own and control what belongs to all of us. The constitution provides that Congress shall have power over money. If Congress was not ignorant of It's own rrerooatives. which would indicate almost total lack of knowledge of our monetary system it would never have delegated it's own mowers to bankers or, as now, find It necessary to delegate these powers to the president. ,, oe
 The President realizes the confusion or thinking among not only the people at large. but the legislators as well and be- ing on the side of the people but not de- string to become dictator has requested Congress to delegate the power over money to the chief executive. In thls manner can he offset the will of bankers The President desired Congress to learn eventually how to operate the monetary system which so foolishly was delegated to private individuals.
 The lack of knowledge on money, so universal among people, is not because of inherent ignorance but because of raise education and blind faith. The old school kept us confused by complex and secre- tive system making finance mysterious business. The new school desires all to understand this most vital part of our material existence. We must choose be- tween continued private control ot our monetary system with it's appended mys- tery and it's temptations to man for pur- noses of exploitation, or government con- trol whose operations will be forced into the open by the ever-watchful eyes or nrying citizens. As between the bankers, Congress, and the President it IS a wlse euess that the people will choose the latter.

Encouraging News

It is encouraging to the proponents of the old age pension plan to read thaC Governor Clifford Pinchot of Pennsyl- yania has just signed the measure lnsuf- inc his state of the pension. The old age nension plan has been fought for years in Pennsylvania. Whenever one side to the battle seemed about to achieve success something always turned up that tocusel attention on other public matters. Events of the last few years have forced our states to real serious consideration or old age pensions even resulted In the adoption of the necessary legislation ln good many of them.
 Right here in Connecticut we are on the threshold of old age pension rellef: At the last two sessions of the General AS sembly it has been given serious consld- eration. We would not be bit surprised to find the Legislature of 1855 taking steps to put Connecticut in line with those states now providing this form ot rellet for it's citizens of advanced years UT course, the natural question that arises IS how such pensions can be financed With our own state well in the red and threat ened with $7,000,0O0 deficit.
 Pennsylvania will pay for it's pensions, which are to go to properly qualified per sons over 70 years of age, through liquor sales. Pennsylvania controls liquor sales through government stores. The profits will go, in some part to an old age pen sion fund. The pensions are to be dis- pensed according to an established scale The maximum amount may be $50 a month. In our own instance we recall that particular emphasis was laid on scheme to have people contribute volun- tarily to such fund, so that the stigma of state-aid would be removed The val untary contribution idea appeals to us as sound in theory If it can be put lhIo practice, perhaps we'll get old age pensions

This has just been done. No doubt it will extend the period of employment for many of those now on CWA jobs. Some of them are of rather short duration as it is. There are few, for example, that expire in February. We hope that when their jobs are ended there may be others for them provided they have not by that time found employment in the particular field of endeavor for which they are trained.
 President Roosevelt has high hopes of securing an appropriation from Congress of $1,116, ,O0O, ,OOO to carry on the work of the CWA. He probably will get it if he insists And in view of the fact that the CWA is designed to remove men and women from local relief rolls we don't sec how any other course than that suggested by the President can be taken. Civil and public works must be maintained for at least another full year to our way of thinking. The cost to the nation may be staggering, but it would be far better to have it this way than to permit abject poverty to stalk the land, while the wheels of our powerful government were idle

Low Rents Essential

It is encouraging to discover that the Public Works Administration is insisting that slum clearance projects now under consideration be devised so that the low est possible, rents be charged in the con- pleted buildings An elaborate housing program was devised for one large man. ufacturing city, and it was figured that the new apartments would rent for ap- proximately $7 a room. PWA authorities notified local authorities that this figure was too high, and that federal funds would not be forthcoming unless revision was made to bring the rentals down.
 This is extremely sensible. A scale of $7 room would make five-room apart ment cost $35 month and there are plenty of people who simply cannot af- ford to spend that much money. Further more, they are precisely the people who occupy slum quarters, and whom housing programs are designed to help. There would be little sense in replacing slum dwellings if the new quarters were too expensive for their prospective occupants to use.

Washington, Jan. 20--Never since March has there been any doubt that Roosevelt was determined to pursue a definitely liberal course in moulding the New Deal. How far Left he was willing to go, however, IS dis closed only now. Recently he passed the word to his agricul- tural aides that he is willing, even anxious to have the govern
 ment go into the business of meat packing and milk distribu- tion. Roosevelt does not plan this for the entire country at least not immediately. He plans to take one or two milk distributing areas where the government can sell milk, oper- ate one or two packing houses and prove to industry what Washington can da. He thinks this will be a salutary lesson to milk racketeers and meat-pack- CTS. If they don't take the hint, he is ready to go much further.
 OFFICIAL GAZETTE
 So profuse and so revolution ary are the number of executive orders issued under the New Deal that Madame Perkins has proposed an Official Gazette. This is a government newspaper published by most countries in which are printed all gover11- ment decrees and regulations. So many important orders have come out of the White House in recent months that one depart
 ment finds itself acting against another department solely be- cause of the fact that'it has had. no chance to become acquainted with the latest orders. .. Pat Hurley, Hoover's war secretary, and .one-time booster of the Blue Eagle, is a devoted reader of Al Smiths New outlook" Pat keeps current issues on his desk in the ornate law office he now occupies. ..s Senator Black of Alabama has a lot of surprises up his sleeve in his air mail in- yestigation. His next move will be to investigate state department tactics in forcing air mail con- tracts to Mellon's Pan-American Airways on helpless Caribbean countries.
 PIECES OF GOLD
 The conference at which Roosevelt broke the news of his new monetary program to the house and senate banking com mittees, was a hard strain on Senator Carter Glass. The peppery little Virginian fused and fumed against the plan to impound all gold in federal re- serve banks, bluntly told the president it was "confistication." The president laughed good -naturedly. "Oh, not quite as bad as that, Carter" he said. eve exempt $2.50 gold pieces. That will enable us grandfathers to give them to our grandchil- dren every Christmas" Glass snorted. I'm doing better than that" he snapped. 'I'm giving them $10 gold pieces for their birthdays" :.

Keep Up The Projects

The announcement that CWA hours will be shortened starting Monday is not so encouraging. Washington has in- formed it's administrators in the various states that average weekly payrolls are exceeding the amounts allotted We don't doubt this in view of the fact that the number of jobs has been diversified and as q result more people put to work. We have extended the helping hand not mere ly to the laborers but to the white-collar class. TO day even an artist whose brush and palette may have been idle for years can find employment.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Writer Says Dime Novel Cultivated Taste

The dime novel played a pretty useful role in developing the liter ary taste of the last generation.
 So, at any rate, says Charles J. Finger in After the Great Com panions" He makes his point like this:
 Popular literature of genera ton ago, especially the kind that was fed to children, was pretty hopeless stuff. It was gooey with phoney sentiment, overloaded with pious moraliZing, packed With false values. The dime novel at least described he-men performing he -mannish actions, and it helped wean youth away from the horrible bilgewater of current Literature"
 Furthermore, it actually culti- yated taste. From ''Deadwood Dick" to Treasure Island" is not after all, so long step; from ! Treasure Island" to Arabia De- serta" is a negotiable jump for a l lad whose imagination has been stirred. Many man began his ap- preciation of books with the dime novel.
 This argument is sample of  the fresh viewpoint of MT Fingers book-which is one of the most de- lightful things any book-lover could read. The great companions of MT Fingers title are the great writers
 of the English speaking world; and
 what MT Finger has done here is
 simply to review all of that worlds
 literature, to dwell upon it's high
 lights, to show how the develop
 ment of literature ties in with his tory and to communicate his own
 zestful delight in good reading. And he re-affirms the importance | of the literary art. He explains how and why a life that is lived in
 touch with the "great companions
 is rich and full and free, and he
 opens many new horizons for all book-lovers.
 Published by Dutton, his book is priced at $3.

It must recall exquisite memories to many music-lovers to read that Enrico Caruso, Jr, has just made his> debut in the talkies. Young Caruso, who possesses very fine tenor voice, has finally achieved some measure of success. He will be heard in "The Fortune Teller. At a voice trial recently in Hollywood he was acclaimed as one son of an immortal artist who had inherited more than mere promise of genius. If that is the case, the name of Caruso may again be identified with the highest in the operatic world. The son is said to sing his fathers cele- brated operatic arias just as superbly. Here's real news.

HISTORY

Many Waterbury men were In
 the local company that was active in the expedition against Grown
 Point from April to December, |1756, which was commanded by Captain Israel Woodward. Connec- ticut's quota at this time was 2,50O men, which were formed into four regiments of eight companies each. Some from Waterbury were Enos Doolittle, Israel Dayton and Ben
 jamin Judd during 1756. John Sut- Tiff and Abel Curtiss were in Col onel Elihu Chauncy's regiment at Grown Point in 1756. Men from here in Captain John Pettibone's company of that same regiment were Joseph Smith, John Slawter (also Slaughter), Samuel Lewis.
 Thomas Porter. and Joseph Bron- son.
 Captain Ephraim Putnam's regi- ment in 1757 also had many Wa terbury men, some of whom saw action at Fort William Henry not far from Grown Point. Local men were also, in the End regiment from March to November 1768. Men from here acted in the mili- tary capacity of sergeants, sentin- els and privates in various regi- ments during 1759, 1761, 1762, and thus it is seen that the commun- | ity did it's duty nobly during the Colonial wars.

Neat arrangements of vegetables to please the customers eye is necessary to- day, said M. J. Burnham, a prominent Connecticut retail grocer in addressing the Connecticut Vegetable Growers Asso- citation this week. And customers are the fussiest over carrots, celery, beets, string beans, and tomatoes, he further related. This ought, in time, to lead to the devel- opment of such vegetables grown in indi- vidual containers with which to attract the buyers eye.

The Connecticut League of Municipal ities, which held it's annual meeting in New Britain Thursday, but failed to elect officers due to small attendance, is dis pleased with Governor Cross. It wanted a special session of the Legislature and it didn't get it. Mayor George Quigley of New Britain has long been a steadfast advocate of special legislative sessions. To date he has not persuaded Governor Cross that one is necessary. Two years ago he wanted one so that cities and towns facing bankruptcy might have their bur- dens frightened. The governor refused to acquiesce. The result was no cities went into bankruptcy. Since last June when the Legislature adjourned, there have been more requests for special sessions. All have been considered; all were re- fused. Now the mayors association is adopting a resolution expressing sorrow that special session was not called. We know that this was provoked by dissatis- faction with the liquor laws of Connecti- cut. However, we may be all the wiser by refusing to change this law at special session. A year of deliberation may give us the necessary knowledge of what changes to make in 1885.

Police Commissioner John F. O'Ryan of New York city doesn't see any peril in permitting radios to be installed in taxi cabs As a result he has revoked the ban placed on them by his predecessor, Commissioner Mulrooney. It only took Commissioner O'Ryan 15 days to come to his decision. He probably has secured the vote of the taxi drivers of New York by his action, not to mention that of the radio sellers. Several companies had gone to great expense to place radios in their cars. However, it has been decided that the radios will play only when the taxi is engaged. With flag lowered the mechanism cannot be operated. That's a good idea. It might be hard job to get taxi if the drivers favorite program was going on at the moment you most desired one.
