The New Britain Herald adds some
Goals to the fire by commenting as fol-
lows: Dean Cross, hard man to beat,
provides the COP with another major
problem. What to do about 1t Is really
vexing. Some Of the GOPers on the inner
circle privately admit the governor can
not be defeated due TO his striking person
atty, his appeal TO liberals and conserva-
tives alike, and his strength In the rural
regions as well as in the cities. There Is
the possibility Of the COP nominating
Hugh M. Acorn :. or Roy G. Wilcox -.
or Charles M. Blackwell. ;. And there Is
Louis G. Tolles :. +. who admits a faction
Of the COP has asked him TO enter the
race Perhaps before the chils of the
fall weather return, there may be some
other names mentioned as worthy of pro-
viding cross-circuit for Governor
Cross" . . Until then the democrats seem
to hold the trumps punched in their own
hands.

AS the House Ways and Means Com.
mittee starts revising the federal income
tax, the Treasury Department strongly
urges a return to the principle of taxing
learned incomes" less heavily than in
vestment incomes. Secretary Morgen.
THAI recommends "that the provision take
the form of deduction of some agreed
percentage Of the taxpayers earned In.
come, and that 1t be applied to incomes
of not more than, $25, 900" This Is not a
new principle. It was adopted shortly
after the war and continued, with general
satisfaction until the revision made about
three years ago. The change was made
then because it was found. necessary To
squeeze larger return from waning
incomes.
1t has been recognized almost univer.
sally that incomes earned painfully dur
ing the current year by the taxpayer, as
constructive part of the nations eco.
nomic machinery are not Of the same
nature as incomes from investments or
gifts, and that 1t Is personally and 80.
cially fairer TO give them a more favor
able tax rate. This Is especially true
now, when earned money comes harder
than IL has at any time since the income
tax was adopted. And there are other
means Of federal income now, especially
from liquor, which may well take the
place Of earned income deductions.

There IN much speculation az TO the part
that j. Henry Roraback chairman OF the
republican state central committee, will
play in the coming state campaign. There
seems to be an element Of doubt about It.
Some commentators are of the opinion that
he will do little or nothing to sway his
party with regard TO nominations. That
seems TO be minority viewpoint. The
majority believes that Mr. Roraback Is
vitality concerned with this years outcome.
He will not underestimate any candidate
the democrats bring forward including
the stawart Wilbur l.. Cross Remember
the 1880 campaign when Mr. Roraback re-
ferred to him az the dear old gentleman
from Yale. He didn't repeat that mistake
two years ago. He trotted out the man,
considered AT the time the strongest guber-

Trumbul could be defeated IL Is apparent

are well advised, they will guage their
