The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-22

It's interesting to read how former U. s. Senator Hiram B. Bingham is com- plaining about the congressional probes that have been occupying public attention for some time now. We presume the revelations of the Senate munitions in- quiry board stirred up his protest which seems to be concerned mainly with the Constitution. Whats the Constitution to an official who thought little enough of the ordinary rules of the Senate to violate it's confidence by bringing representa- tive of the Connecticut Manufacturers Association into a private tariff hearing.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-22

We can't resist this quotation. It's Hugh Alcorn's. He said in his recent New Haven speech, If am elected, as expect to be, I want to see all of you in the executive offices" After the first visit, though, we feel sure that MT Alcorn, if he were elected and we don't expect to see him elected, would place. the "No Ad- mittance" sign on the door.

PLENTYWOOD GIRL
TAKES PARACHUTE
JUMP AT AIRPORT

Quite lot of people gathered on
the Plentywood airport Thursday
taking in the exhibition of the
five planes giving passengers short
rides at the rate of a penny a
pound.
The main attraction of the day
was Beatrice Goltz, local girl,
making her first parachute jump.
This special feature came near be-
ing a disappointment as it seems
that the parachute had stranded in
a broken-down automobile some
place near Reserve, and Beatrice
refused TO make the jump without
one.
It was getting dusk before the
parachute arrived, and soon after
the girl sailed thru the air like Z
bird and landed in a field nearby
being none the worse off from hel
experience. She said she enjoyed
it very much
Being a parachute jumper ha
been Miss Goltz's desire for SOM
time and arrangements have beel
made for more performances.

its the opportunity for making up
deficits. The 1888 legislature fixed
the maximum which the rate for
the revenue fund could go at 81
mills. ut is So mills this year,
This is the biggest item in the total
state rate, and means that the only
important items in the list which
can change materially, are the
funds for relief and for rural credit
obligations.
The state. auditors office has
compiled a table showing how state
tax levies have gone for Is years.
The record shows a rate of more
than eight mills in 1919, a rate
which was not exceeded until last
year, but the state was paying a
soldiers bonus starting in 1920 and
required a substantial levy from
1919 to 1928. The substitute for
that levy is a big item for rural
credit obligations, to meet princi-
pal and interest on rural credit
bonds now due.
The general revenue fund was
doing well a dozen years ago, no
levy for that purpose being neces-
sary for two years because ample
funds came from special taxes. The
levy was held below three and a
half mills until three years ago
