States Are Acting

Seven states have already taken action to protect real estate from being over loaded with taxes. Would that Connectl- cut was among this number. Perhaps It will be a year from now, because by that time the Legislature will have met ana adjourned. During it's sessions it must take some action on the report of the Special Tax Commission which recently concluded survey into local and state tax conditions with the intention of present. ing recommendations for their correction:
 1t is universally admitted that real estate is overtaxed. The question in most legislators minds is to what can govern nent turn for taxes if it lightens the bur- den of the home owner. There are many avenues of escape, but it is gradually be- ginning to dawn on a good many ot us that we don't need an avenue ot escape. All we need is the backbone necessary to bear down on our many and expensive forms of local, state, and federal govern ment.
 Each and every one of them claims considerable share of mans annual ln- come. Statistics reveal that taxes constl- ute share far out of proportion to other expenses in our daily lives. And the nam reason is the high cost of government Cut down on this and many of our lmme- diate problems are solved. We duplicate many taxes through overlapping govern mental agencies. Our offenses are many along these lines. We must correct them:
 One reformer at the annual meeting ot the National Association of Real Estate Boards in Milwaukee last week said as much as the above. He stated our polit!- cal divisions, meaning town, county, state, and federal government, must undergo changes to cut down real estate taxes. Hes perfectly correct The seat of the trouble lies in the expensive machinery by which we cause taxes to be levied. Eliminate the unnecessary an6 taxes automatically will seek level more in keeping with the average mans pocketbook.

Senator Borah Helps Us

Senator Borah may be very annoying man, especially to politicians, but now and then he is a very useful one. Conducting a single-handed campaign in opposition to both democratic and republican policies is an idea that would occur to few people but the senator from Idaho. Even fewer people, having conceived the idea, could do anything with it. But Senator Borah is in class by himself.
 No one can foretel the effect of his campaign. The country may yawn and look the other way, or it may greet him with loud cheers; but whatever happens, the senator will be useful, just as bit ot string tied about ones finger is useful. He will keep us from forgetting some thing that might otherwise, in the furry of campaign year, get overlooked
 One of our biggest problems today is that while we are pretty well agreed on the goal we want to reach, we are not at all agreed on the route we want to use Ill getting there. MT Roosevelt has one route, or blend of routes, all mapped out; MT Fletcher, announcing that this route leads only to destruction, is working on another.
 MT Borah's function right now seems to be to remind us that neither route VIII prove satisfactory unless we make dead certain that the little man - the ordinary, undistinguished citizen who works when he can get work, pays his taxes and never gets into the headlines gets protected from the danger of falling into the cog wheels.
 For MT Borah sees one fact very clearly: Our emergence from the depression will mean very little unless we find some way of checking the great trend toward mo- nopoly which has been prime develop ment of the last generation.
 It may be that MT Borah is utterly mis- taken in his belief that the New Deal pro gram does not constitute an effective check on that trend. Fine words have been said to the little man by the admin istration, in the last year. It would be strange indeed if those fine words were not accompanied by protective action.
 But the decision on that point can be left to the voters MT Borah's job is to remind us constantly that in one way or another such protection must be had. His forth coming campaign may be irritating, but 1t ought to be very useful.

tainly do not intend saying anything that would change their minds"
 "DISAPPROVED-FARLEY"
 Not long ago Secretary of In- terior 1ckes went over to the White House and presented to Roosevelt the name of John w. Finch as director of the Bureau of Mines.
 .Dr Finch had notable record. He had done geological work in China, siam, India, Africa, Tur- key, once was mining adviser to the Governor of Yunnan. He served as state geologist of Col orado, is dean of the University of Idaho School of Mines, also director of the Idaho State Bu- reau of Mining.
 The president looked over Finch's record, told Ickes:
 "He looks all right, If you want him."
 So Ickes gave the word that Finch was 10 be sworn in. The ceremony was scheduled for last week. Everything was set-un- til the last moment, the interior department could not find F'inch's commission. This Is a document signed by the presi- dent certifying the appointment.
 Word was rushed to the White House. Still the commission could not be located. The presi- dent had sailed. Finally Mar win MacIntyre, presidential sec- rotary, unearthed 1t.
 It was not signed. But at- tached to 1t was memo, which read:
 Appointment dlsapprovcd by General Farley"
 Note-Senator Pope, democrat, of Idaho, Is now asking whether he or Jim Farley Is running democratic politics in Idaho. His colleague, Senator Borah, repub- lican, thinks it's great joke. WAGNER BOARD
 Appointment of the Wagner Labor Board was obscured In the. excitement over the Stock Exchange commission. Now however, the board Is emerging as one of the most potent In Washington.

holdings in Connecticut this fall. The republicans are in a reckless mood right new and are freely predicting all sorts ot happenings Even the Republican State Chairman J. Henry Roraback has deserted his customary reticence to claim that there will be big inroads made in the democratic holdings by his party That's odd for him. He's usually (when persuaded to speak for the public's benefit) predicting the size of the g.o.p. majority
 The main point for democrats to remem Der is that they are in power now. That's one thing the republicans never over- looked in their heyday. It is an importS ant factor and means plenty of votes on election day. It is not, of course, the only factor There are such things as candi- dates. No doubt the groundwork for the ticket will be laid today. But there will be plenty of work to be done during the remainder of July and August. It is not news, we hope, that republicans have been busy all spring preparing for November.
 They have monthly paper waging war in their behalf They have a speaking campaign already underway. They have plans to enlist as candidates their strong est drawing cards of other years. All this signifies that the republican party of Connecticut is making mighty effort to regain the laurels that it once possessed. Why should we relinquish what few offices we have been able to gain of recent years without so much as good fight. It's not characteristic of the democratic party to go down without fight. And by that We do not mean fight within the ranks. Let's hope today's session is but the first of a series of united efforts to extend demo- cratic control of this state.

Moscow Letter
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD limited Press Stan Correspondent)

Moscow. (UP)-The soviet Union, aiming eventually. at the Marxist ideal of "classless soci- ety." Is at the moment stratified into more classes than any other nation in the world. A mans earnings, social status, mode of living and even the stores where he may buy goods and the places where he may spend his vacation are determined by the pigeon -hole in which he is placed in the Soviet economic system. Complicated System
 This complicated system arises in part from the fact that nearly every factory, every government depn rtment and every office has Its own "closed stores." where no one but its employees may buy. And prices in these stores vary greatly. One worker may spend five roubles for commodity for which his more favored colleague in another factory spends only three. In gen. eral, workers in heavy industry and other fields considered most essential to Soviet progress are favored above others.
 "Tood cards entitling worker to buy his bread and meat in "closcd stores" where prices are cheap are greatly prized. Prices In "open stores" which may be pa. tronized by anyone are fai higher. So the luckless Russian who Is suspected of anti Communist tend. enclcs or who, for any other rea- son, cannot get flood card" ob- tains little to eat unless he has many roublcs. And usually he hasn't.
 Additional Complications
 Into this already complicated division of persons into classes stili another complication has just been introduced at the Moscow military aviation factory. And 1t Is to be copied by other large plants. A special "closed shop" has been opened at the aviation factory for veteran workers. Those laborers who have ben employed in the plant for ten years or more may obtain almost limitless amounts of butter, milk products, smoked fish and vegetables. in addition to the amount which they are entitled to buy in the factory's ordinary store,
 The purpose of this concession, of course. is to encourage young workers to do an efficien. job and to remain at their posts for long periods in the hope of being simi- iariy rewarded when they become veterans.

Taxes And Service

A committee in New York city, report ing on a special investigation, makes this statement on the essential nature of taxes. It says: Taxes have never been popular, and in these days everyone is, of course, particularly sensitive to their imposition. Nevertheless, an intelligent citizenship recognizes that it is impossible to secure from government the services which are demanded without willingness to furn- ish the costs of these services through taxes"
 The fault the public has found with taxes in the last few years has been two fold. They have not been justly imposed, and they have not been efficiently spent. Intelligent citizens do realize that services must be paid for. They realize, further, that in large communities many services can no longer be safely left to private agencies. The municipal government must take care of them and must have the money to do it.
 Intelligent citizens, on the other hand, are thoroughly tired of having public funds wasted. They demand, as part of the revision of the whole tax situation, that public officials give the mfull value for tax money, stopping the wasteful leaks and departmental favoritisms which have piled up bills without supplying efficient services
