Confusion Of Ideas

Among the minor oddities ot these changed times there is the fact that thls democratic administration is apt to see stirring battle for states rights carried on by republicans. The battle hncS haze formed already. Local autonomy and state sovereignty must be restored. is the rallying-cry of the g.o.p: A big Chicago republican paper not long ago devoted a column-long front-page edl- torial to the task of proving that the republicans really are the heirs Of the Jeffersonian tradition in politics. And II all of this seems slightly cockeyed, to one who takes his politics in the old-time man. ner. all that can be said is that these are cockeyed times and that stranger things than republican adherence to the doc- trines of Thomas Jefferson will yet be seen.
 As matter of fact this new bother about states rights conceals one of the fundamental problems of the moment. The trend toward contradiction Of gov ernment has been speeded up enormously during the past few years-not from de- sign but through the logic of circum- stances. The federal goVernemnt haS had to do an almost infinite number ot things that never before were considered the federal governments job - every thing from putting men to work Tn the forests to lending money to railroads, from bostering up banks to regulating the production of hogs. It has reached out tentacles that touch the life Of the ordinary citizen at every point.
 At the same time, the structure of local government has been crumbling. Cities have been unable to collect taxes, city ser vices have been given up, policemen ana teachers have gone unpaid, munlcipai bonds have gone into default - and the end is not yet in sight. So we have on t,le one hand, vast extension of federal activities; and, on the other, swift and steady shrinkage of local government And while men prepare to fight for re vival of Jeffersonian principles, city o11l- cials go to Washington begging for even more help from the federal treasury, Where all of this is going to end IS one of the most puzzling issues of the day. lt may be that the end of the emergency VIII find most of the traditional set-up re- establishing itself, more or less automatic ally. Or it may be that we shall have to admit that the old Jeffersonan concept of government no longer is applicable.

Not Prophetic, We Hope

Earlier this week we quoted Professor Fred Fairchild of Yale University on the subject of forestry taxation. To day we offer what he had to say m MllWauKec' Wisconsin, during the course ot the an- nual meeting of the Society of American Foresters, on the topic of realty taxation It is 8 moot question one Tn Whlch every community is Vitally interested right at the moment. Nothing IS proVlnG \ more perplcxing problem than property taxes. According to Professor FalrchIid ihis unfair method of raising revenue IS not going to be dropped from our govern mental scheme of things for some years to come. This is what discouraGes us. This is what moves us to hope that ms utterance isn't prophetic.
 Amcnq other things Professor Fair field told the forestcrs that Abolition and consolidation of the great bulk ot these governments Counties, townships, villages, boroughs, school, road, fire ana drainage districts) would permit an or panization in harmony with modern con ditions, would make possible a higher standard of political service and would tremendously reduce the cost - and con seauent tax burden. Hes rlghl, SD right that a good many of us will refuse to accept HIS BLdbcHICILo QUILL ii''' 70 the trouble with us. The solution of our troubles is right at our fingertlpS, yet we refuse absolutely to seize it for fear oi burning them.
 Some day there will be action on such plans as Professor Fairchild outlines. De- claring that he has no hope of witnessing the end of property taxation, now rooted so deeply in our plan of government he points out that we can to some extent improve the methods of today. Expert assessment is one way he declares. And such expert assessment he pre- diets will ultimately fall upon not the individual community, but t he state. Whether or not this is an encroachment upon home rule remains to be seen However, in the main lts a point to which we should give serious heed Praise your own system or prop erty assessment as much as you will, the fact still remains that it is responsible for good percentage of our tax worries

Know Your Waterbury Its History, Facts and General Information
HISTORY

Waterbury was famous for many
 things, and not the least of these
 was its Indian reservation. It was
 located on the southeast part of East mountain (east of the Abri- gador and between Pulling Mill
 brook and Mad river), and to quote from pr Anderson, "consist- cd of fifty acres, and was bought by the proprietors of the undivided
 lands of New Haven, May z, 17S1, for the use, benefit and behoof of
 the Indians that now do or here- after shall be properly belonging to or descending from that tribe Of Indians that do now or hereafter
 shall remain and no longer" It is said that this Indian reservation
 was occupied and 1t was called "the Indian Farm" up to Revolutionary days.
 There was some difference of opinion on the Indian or Spanish derivation of the word "abrigador," which was near the locality of the Indian reservation. One historian
 stated that the name was of Span-
 ish origin, abrigado, meaning. "a place of shelter. In Dr Trumbulps | list of Indian names in Connecticut, although he also was originally of the same idea as to the Spanish origin, he gives the derivation from
 "abigad" or "abigaut", meaning
 "covcrt" or "hiding place." which
 practically agrees with the Span- ish origin stated above.

Right now it is proving an easy matter for bootleggers to continue their busi- ness of defraduing Uncle Sam of taxes rightfully due him. We sincerely hope that this state of affairs won't last long.
 Last night it was revealed in the Dem- ocrat that bootleggers were very active in the midwest distributing their prod ucts under the guise of blended whis- kes. Some days ago we pointed out that cities or towns would have to protect themselves against this business of per- mitting aged and bonded whiskies to be "cut". There is such thing as market ing fine blended whiskey. Many people with real knowledge of good whiskies assert that blend is preferable to a heavy matured whiskey. Figures might prove that more bottles of blended whis- kies were sold prior to prohibition than bonded goods.
 This business of allowing blends to be sold promisculously was all that the illicit trade needed. It was an entering wedge. And the illicit sale has made the most of it. As result prices of bonded whiskie3 right now are exorbitant. We'll dispute that with anybody who cares to, but no- body can tell us that it costs any more to- day to make a quart of Whiskey than it uiu III Io1o' we II grant LidI Iiie ouppy is limited and hence an advance in price is warranted, but not such one that has been taken. That's another aid to the bootlegger. He can still peddle his wares and undersell the legitimate dealer
 Uncle Sam has got to step into this business of controlling liquor manufac- ture and sales with a vengeance, It wasn't enough that the 18th amendment was repealed. That is evident. The federal government has to adopt it's tax schedule with an eye towards preventing bootlegging. States have to war against improper labelling not to mention sale of liquors that are not what they are sup posed to be. It's no time for discussions. It's a time for action.

There will always be rivalry between Ripon, Wisconsin, and Jackson, Michigan
 as to which one was really the birthplace of the republican party that is the re- publican party of today. But there cer- tainIy can be no doubt about the identity of the man who gave it it's name. Of course, the title wasn't original. The democratic party of today was once the republican. The present republicans are supposed to be the outgroWth of the Whigs and Free Sellers. At any rate general credit is usually given to Zephan- iah E. Knight, editor of the Pontiac, Mich, Gazette, in 1854, as the author, if he can be called that. At Free Soil party convention on February 22, 1854, in Jackson, Michigan, MT Knights sug- gestion that the new party be called re- publican was carried. Others wanted 9 combination name, so that an appeal would be made to several of the then existing political factions. However, MT Knights proposal finally carried the day and the editor since then has been regard ed as the man who named the party. We don't know if the republicans pay much attention to this today. Certainly they don't have any annual Jefferson Day din- ners, as do the democrats But recent events show them trying to claim Jeffer- son as their founder. Looks as if they want to crack the cellophane wrappings.

We don't wonder that there has been some comment upon the appointment of Thomas H. Beck of Wilton as chairman of a committee to develop and supervise a nationwide plan for promoting and pro tecting wild life" Not that we would complain against this appointment nor the appointment of J. N. Ding" Darling and Professor Also Leopold as his CO., members on the committee. The trio comprises men well-known as wild life conservationists. But isn't this dupli- cation of effort? What about the con- mittce that our own Senator Walcott heads? What about surveys conducted by other groups of recent years? Is there actually need for this new plan of pro- lection? MT Beck and his aides could do some valuable work, we feel sure, but would it not be simply what others have done and are still doing? We are inclined to think it would be.

At the present writing David A. Will son, chairman of the democratic state cen tral committee is being mentioned prom inenty as possible appointce to a federal judgeshlp. Since he failed to receive the position of U. s. Attorney for Connecticut there have been all sorts of rumors as to his chances of securing some federal ap- pointmcnt. He was recent visitor in Washington and attended q White House reception together with Senator Lonergan. This could mean almost anything. We are inclined to think, however, that he is des- toned for some patronage post with con- sequent shake-up in the state central committee.

A Striking Study Of An Alien Folk

In Roll Jordon. Roll" Julia Peterkin gives us q remarkable book about the lives of the colored folk of South Carolina--a book which tell how they live, what they believe. how they worship and how they play, written with sympathy and an utter absence of conde- scension.
 On the old plantations, the small farms, and the remote villages these colored folk-thc "Gullahs, '" made famous in Mrs Pcterkin's earlier bOoks--likc lives that seem unbclieVably remote from modern America.
 Many of them still are under the psychology of prc-war slave days. Superstitions stemming from their | thoughts. Their religion is the
 dovout and wlstful Christianity which produced the negro spirit | uals. 1 Mrs Petcrkln has il rich fund of anecdotes about these people. Some of her little stories are deep- | ly humorous. sOmc are tragic. A samples;
 Two old cOl0fGd women believe they have been ordered by God to warn the Pope that he is soon to ale. They sell their property, ga | off t0 itnly---ihcy'd never been outside thicr own county before zee "one of tho pope's head priests" present their warning, ne-

Of the ten authorities on American jarRon listed by Wlfred J. Funk this week we like the selection of "Tad" as good as any. Others named were Slime SiIverman, II. l.. Mencken, Walter Win chell, Arthur (Bugs) Baer, Ring Lardner, Damon Runyon, Geett Burgess, George Ade, and Gene Buck. We think that T. A.

He was pri- marily cartoonist, of course, but no artist brought more slang expressions into common usage through cartoons than did Tad. His death was a distinct loss Co the world of "funnies".
