HAMILTON

On March 81 the CWA program was
officially terminated and since that
time there has been much speculation
regarding the new program.
Now that we have an opportunity
to glance over the documents which
must be filed in order for the appli-
cant to secure the relief, there are a
few points on which | am in doubt and
which / would like to have explained
to me.
First the applicant is required to
sign an authorization giving the
agents Of the Relief Commission the
authority to investigate his financial
condition by inquiries of individuals,
banks, building and loan associations,
Postal Savings banks" Or in any man.
ner that the agent may see fit. Now
Just think of the mad scramble that
these applicants will engage in to get
their money out of these institutions
before the investigating agent dis
covers it. 1t occurs to me that this
is calculated to a run" on the
Postal Savings banks which may nee
essitate the declaration of another
Banking Holiday by the President. II
seems also that the commission over
looked a bet by not authorizing the
investigation of all and sundry ole
socks which may be discovered on the
applicants premises, since the ole
sock in recent years has been report
ed as serving as a savings institution
This defect should certainly be cor.
rected.
Next, on the Family Case Record
we find that the applicant must give
his church affiliations, the inference

Next on the QUESTIONABLE is the mari

Can the Anaconda Raise Wages?
The question in the minds of most
persons is whether or not the Ana
conda Company can afford a wage
increase under present conditions. A
concern that can pay its president
over a quarter of a million dollars q
year right through the depression
can surely afford to pay its miners

WALL STREET Mobiles MASSES
TO FIGHT LABOR, FARMERS, VETS

NEW YORK-(FP)-Wall Street is
appealing to "the Masses"
Alarmed by the power shown at
Washington by workers, farmers and
veterans through the modified force
of millions, big financial interests
have begun a drive to organize %
million security owners to fight their
battles for them. The first purpose
will be to oppose passage of the stock
exchange control bill which President
Roosevelt has approved.

paid, in 1882, s559,108 in salaries to
officials all receiving $4,000 a year
or more.
1t isn't a question of being able to
do it in Butte. 1t is a question as to
whether or not Butte miners are going
to be forced to the wage level of the
South American poems in the employ
of the Anaconda Company. While
South American copper can be
brought into the United States at a
great profit the Anaconda is not 60
ing to pay any of that huge profit to
Butte miners. The impending strug-
gle concerns not only the miners Of
Butte but every man who has money
Invested in Butte; every householder,
every professional nan for until the
miners of Butte make a living wage
no one else will be making such a
wage. Regardless of the light way
in which the daily press treats the
demands of the miners the fate Of
Butte hinges upon a settlement up
on a living standard of wages.

HOUSE WITH ACRE
OF GROUND:

Located on an acre of beauti-
full grounds with fruit trees,
grape arhor and flowers, this
home was built by the oldest
general contractor in town for
his daughter. He built it with
an eye to endurance, and the
floors are double and the house
Is weather stripped throughout.
I visited the house after the
heavy rains and noticed particu-
larly the dry cellar. The house
Is called Sunset View, and is
rightfully named as you Lave
an inspiring view from all the
windows. The living room con.
tanned a fireplace and was large
enough to accommodate massive
pieces of furniture. Dining room,
library and kitchen complete
the first floor plan. The kitchen
contained an electric stove and
also a coal burning range Zone
of the finest make. A large
pantry and 5toreroom would
provide an excellent place to
store the winter supplies. Up
stairs were six bedrooms, two
baths and additional space if
another bedroom is necessary,
which gives assurance of plenty
of sleeping quarters. The house
would be especially ideal for
large family for there would be
plenty of ground for a garden.
Schools and churches within
walking distance. I can heartily
recommend this house.

Around the corner from Ward

Will It Be State Monopoly?

We presume that the result of the eec- tion in Connecticut next fall will decide to a considerable extent how much tam pering we do with our state liquor control act. Governor Cross right now IS leaning towards state sale It would be next to impossible, to our way of thinking, to establish such a system in Connecticut. We have sampled of state control of pri- vate sale through regularly licensed bus mess houses. We never could secure suf- ficent votes to end the participation of business in such sales.
 Had Connecticut gone in for state liquor stores in the very beginning there would be room for various improvements but 1t is 8 foregone conclusion that if the vari- ous business interests that are now secur- ing rulings from the courts in their behalf were deprived of new source of income they would bring far more pressure to bear on our legislators than these worthy gentlemen could stand. Mo- we can't see state monopoly of liquor sales entering Connecticut. We waited one year too many for that if we really wanted it in the beginning.
 It's our belief that Connecticut never wanted state liquor stores. There was little sentiment for them in all discussions, public ones at least engaged in by the Legislature last year or by the special commission named to draw up our form of liquor control. There seemed to be a desire to allow such business to be en- gagged in legitimately by reputable per sons as would also provide the state and its smaller units of government fair re- turn in taxes If we grouse over the form of control now exercised over our various types of liquor merchandising, blame it on the fact that we were rushing things to take advantage of prohibitions repeal.
 If our legislators were nasty in adopt ing the present form of liquor control by three-nan commission, at least there IS the saving grace in the fact that the mem bership of the commission is most excel lent and above reproach. If the control act which they are asked to interpret is faulty # suffers from no more defects
