Undecorative Candidates

St. Louis County in Missouri is making a noble effort to prevent a plague which usually develops all over the country around election time. That is the array of signs and posters advertising candi- dates, for public office. In a resolution which it urges the rest of the county to take up, the Bellefontaine Road Associa. tion declares bluntly that candidates faces "are not decorative" but, in fact, spoil the beauty of roadsides." Members of the group remind candidates of the old jingle, Fools names and fools faces are aften seen in public places" and add that they're not fooling when they demand omission of all such publicity in the com- ing campaigns.
 The Bellefontaine resolution states flat ly that it will oppose all candidates who place "disfiguring signs and rubbish along the highway" It asks other civic organizations to take the same VOW. It is movement which awakens cordial re. sponse in many long-suffering voter. Few communities have gone so far as the Bellefontaine citizens propose to go but many are becoming increasingly irate about the situation. The drive against campaign posters is likely to spread.
 In some places fines have been imposed for failure to remove such advertising immediately after election day. The next step is to prevent their posting in the first place. There are enough other legitimate forms of publicity to suit any reasonable candidate.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-05-14
Personal Registration

There has been considerable discussion of recent days about the proposed changes in the city charter governing registration on primary lists. At present it looks as if the Legislature next year will be asked to make it impossible for a name to be added to or removed from any party list unless the person appears before the reg istrars. It has been possible for this &C., tion to be performed by an agent.
 The mere fact that so many names arc duplicated on the democratic and repub- lican lists does not prove the local Regis trars guilty of anything other than in- ability to keep up with an avalanche of changes that may oyerwhelm them when- ever a primary contest is about to occur Usually such changes were handed in by interested partymcn or women. They wanted their candidate to secure the nomination, so managed to get both rec publican and democratic names switched to enc list for the particular occasion.
 Unfortunately those who might prefer to stay on the democratic or republican list failed to have their names taken oH the list they were on. Personal reglstra' tion would enable the registrars to keep much better tabs on the situation and would not allow, say, hundred names ordered off one list at one fell swoop. But we must keep in mind that too much tam- pering with our registration laws means added expense to the city There arc such plans as having men and women register every year. That would entail quite bit of money.
 There is more sense in dropping from a primary list the names of those who faIl to vote at previous election, but even this would demand an immense amount or lyt checking and office work. It might mean the enlargement of the present stall in the registrars olTices We don't sec how any ideas that demand increased pay, rolls for the city can be countcnanced when the job can be done just as well with the present staff exercising it's own knowledge of political parties and regis tration lists.

Bootleg Oil

Petroleum production should be easier to control than liquor, because an oil well is so much more expensive and discover able than a still Yet oil bootlcgging .s running into bigger volume than illicl. liauor. And it upscts the regular trade much worse. Lately the oil market, sup poscdly stabilized some time ago by NRA control, has been upset by bootleg oil pour ing in at the rate of 100000 barrels or more q day. One-fourth as much can de- rnoralzc the market under normal cond!- tions. ..
 It is dishcartening, after the long strus- gle by this industry to escape the rum, ous oyerproduction that has characterizcd it ever since the old days in Pennsylvania, half a century ago, when the Allegheny, River swan in oil, and Rockefeller laboreu to check the waste and sustain prices. Oil has always been the most reckless oi our big industries, because production was anarchic and unprcdctable, and oil once above ground had to find market at whatever sacrifice.
 The industry has power now lo checH it's anarchy, or thought it did. The code was expected to work better than any nrcvious control scheme. But the test case brought by the government against i've Texas oil men for code violation has been h,,nv up by the Supreme Court until next fall. The oil men hoped for passage ol stronger measure, the new Thomas bilI' but it also is held up. 50 the deluge pOlYB on.

Economic Cooperation

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace iS quoted as saying that he is frankly scep- ticai of the merits of forclble farm reg1- lation." He is inclined to think there IS more promise for the farmers in cooper. atives and enlarged markets than 'n strict federal control. Cooperation, would take the place of "regimentation.'
 This is nearer the traditional Amcri- can way of doing things. Experimentation was tried for agriculture because It seemed to be the quickest way Of stopping ruinous oyerproduction. If farmers m general can and will set up their own co- oneratlyc control of production and dis tribtition, both public and government will heave a sigh of relief.
 There may be the same trend m indus try. NRA, applying governmental pow CTS never before used in America--tnough farnillar in the history of other countries - seems to have contemplated self-goy- ernment for American industry as far as it should prove possible.
 The result of current experiments might be virtually self-goyerning agricul' ture and industry, through c0-operatiyeS and guilds, loosely joined together under rlld federal control. Even this. however, would be far removed from the tradl' tionai American iudivldualinnl.

 AGELESS
 The old tradition that women dislike to publicize their ages applies to Mrs Woodrow Wilson along with the rest.

 "And what nbOut nc?" she inquired.

Back To 1914

A builder says that inasmuch as i'm. proved real estate values are down to pre- war levels, and rents likewise, there can be no normal revival of the industry un- less the other factors involved in con. struction and repairs are brought into harmony Thus, he maintains, materials must be sold at 1914 prices, labor must accept 1914 wages, and transportation must allow 1914 rates.
 With this done, he is sure that the pub lie, offered opportunities for sound in- vestment in new dwellings, stores and fac tories, would respond literally, and there would be revival of the building indus try. The opportunities may be imagined from the fact that building, which used to be regularly one-eighth of the nations business, has lately been down to 1 per cent. It all sounds logical. But logic and practicaity are not always the same thing Is it really possible to get back to 1914 in this or any other industry? Are there not go many new factors that there must be new harmony worked out on q different level?

A community service project, evolved by Leonard J. Maloney veterans place. nlent representative for Connecticut, has been turned down natly by EZRA officials at Washington. It would have called fo: expenditure of $100,000 in the state to un' employed veterans and disabled civilians. The idea was to employ these men and women in such tasks as repairing shoes and clothing for people now on relief rolls, as well as taking care of furniture of all public agencies engaged in welfare work. The pay and hours would have been the same as those of regular EZRA workers The refusal to discuss the scheme or alot any such sum was very pointed according to reports. All of which indicates that the relief officials down in Washington arc out of patience or have lost whatever sense of justice they possessed
