The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-05-08

By an unanimous vote the house in Washington, D. C., yesterday passed the bill eliminating all but four of the permanent appropria- tons under which money has been taken out of the treasury year after year without a supervision by con. gress. Congressman E. w. 0oss of this city was tho author of the bill and when the measure was passed without a dissenting vote, he was roundly applauded on both sides of the political aisle.
 Such appropriation contempiat- ed for expenditure in the coming fiscal year total more than $2,30O,s 900. The bill wipes these perma- nent funds from the statute books and requires that like other appro- printions they be submitted to con- gress each year for review.

since 1881, practically all gov- ernments have bcon faced with de- cllning and many have experienced increased expenditures. The state of Connecticut, in the fiscal year 1882, reduced its cash surplus by nearly six and one-half million dollars, and again by over four million dollars in the fiscal year ending last Juno. But 50 large q surplus had been accumulated In prosperous years that only in the third year of declining revenues, 1033-34, was tho cash balance of the civil list funds exhausted and borrowing rcsortcd to. COnnecti- cut will close the current fiscal year with q substantial current debt, represented entirely by short term obligations.
 "rho cause of these deficits which have characterized four out of the seven fiscal years since July l, 1927, is not far to seek. Extra- ordinary outlayg on highways in 1927-2S, on the state office build ing in 1930-31. and on tho Fair field hospital in 1O3f-32 have all played their part. But these have not been tho principal causes of tho recent budget deficits. In com. mon with all other governments and with individuals, the state has suffered Q drastic decline in its inc como. Thus, the existing lack of
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-05-08

balance in state revenues and ex- penditures Is due not to permanent and normal conditions, but to the temporary ad abnormal conditions accompanying an unusually severe business depression.
 "Whatever criticism may be lev- cled against the present state tax system from tho standpoint of equity, it cannot be said that it has failed in normal times to produce ample revenues both to meet the recurring costs of the state govern ment and to provide for substantial permanent mprovements. Only to the extent that the state cmbnrks upon an extensive program of new capital outlays or renders addition- ai state aid to local governments either in the form Of additional state aid to local governments either in the form of transfers of money or services or the absorp- ton of local governmental func- tions does tho commission feel thnt tho present tax system will prove fiscaily inadequate"

Connecticut in Strong Financial Condition Excess o
 Cash Seen By U. s. Census Data

Few states have been in as strong e financial condition to withstand tho effects of depression as Connecticut, the special tax commission stated to-day in one of q series. of bulletins which 1t is is- suing to inform the public of the facts relating to the financial and taxation problems of state and lo- cal governments. The commission was established by the last general assembly and will report this fall to the governor and to the next session of the general assembly. Tho bulletin on the financial con- dition and operations of the state government.
 "For the first four successive depression years, f020-30 to 1882 33, the state met its obligations without borrowing and without be- Ing forced by financial emergen- cieB to make nasty and drastic changes in it's revenue laws" the commission stated. "This has not been the result, of course, of the financial policies of any one year but rather of Q conservative finan- cial policy consistently adhered to for over tow decades. With this policy the commission is in hearty accord.
 Financial statistics published by tho United States Bureau of the Census covering the indebtedness of the various states show that, out of nine New England and Middle Atlantic states, Connecticut was the only state other than Vermont with an excess of cash and sink ing fund assets over indebtedness in 1927, and the only one, Of the nine with c surplus in 1881. Be- tween these two dates Connecticut improved it's financial condition by over four million dollars, a record hich was approximately equalied only by Magsachusetts and sur- passed only by Pennsylvania.

SOVIET BISHOPS
 PAY ROME VISIT
Two Refugee Russian Pre-. dates Received By
 Pope Plus

Vatican City, Rome (UP)--The t'ontihcul commission for Russia has just received two refugee Rus. sian prelates who have spent sev. eral years In Bolshovlst prisons. These two heroes of tho faith arc Monsignor Theophile Matllania, auxiliary bishop of Leningrad and Monsignor Julian Grouski, Apos- toiic administrator of Cisbaukalian Siberia.
 The pope received the two bish- ops In a lengthy private audience, and was particularly interested in their adventurous story.
 Tho two bishops, after spending some years in Soviet prisons, were eventually exchanged for some Lithuanian prisoners, and so were allowed to regain their freedom.
 They made their report to tho Pontifical commission after their visit to the pope. The Pontiftcal comm ission, formed by tho present pope to keep alive the spark of Christianity In organized Russia, continues It's secret work despite alleged persecution inflicted on It's members by the Bolshcvists. Bish- ops and priests continue to be con secrated and ordained, and every attempt Is maintained to keep a kind Of skeleton hierarchy alive.
 It Is understood in the Vatican that tho reports of the escaped Russian bishops go to show that religion has ceased to exist in Rus sia, especially in the cities except as n memory. Yet the members of the Pontifical commission say they arc not discouraged.
