Washington, Feb. 7--Considcr the lowly potato. Along with bread 1t is the most common article of food in every home. Yet fin two years of processing taxes and crop restriction 1t has remained unscathed.
 But now the pOtatO's time has come.
 The New Deal for potatoes ig under way. In Il brief period spuds will cost more.
 But behind tie New Deal for potatoes k n story of back -Stagc lobbying as unique and at times as mysterious as any which has intrOgmcd the capital in many n day.
 Chief lobbyists arc:
 Senator William Edgar Borah from the great potato state of Idaho.
 Representative Lindsay War rcn who comes from the potato growing geabonrd of North Car Olin1.
 Representative Ralph Brew ster, hard hitting ex - governor of Maine, which haula more potatoes than any other line in the world.
 HIcSITANT LOBBYISTS
 Two of these were not. at first, enthusiastic IobbyiMs. $ m Il 0 r BOrah is not partial to crop con- trol. He opposed the Bankhead act which limited the domain of King Cotton. and fought the Kerr Smith act which curbed to- bncco.
 But Idaho is one of tho great potato growing states of the union, and Senator Borah faces scriOus opposition when he comes up for reelection next year. So dropping temporarily his campaign against the World Court, the dean of tho senate went over the potato conference at the department of agriculture.
 My stntc." he said, "is very much interested in potatoes. We not quite familiar with tAe plan can say frankly thnt my state is tuteUtHINNb tbt5
 More of this from the veteran parliamcntnrinn. following which he went back to the senate. HIGH RAIL RATES
 Even less enthusiastic about potato crop reduction wns tho Bangor and AroostoOk railroad. For it. tho transportation of p0- tntOcg has been il gold mine. Even during the depression it paid high dividends. Only over its tracks cnn tho crop of Aroos- took county. most concentrated potato raising area in the world, reach fl market.
 The railroad has lobblcd viz Orously against IL. r. C. financing of an extension line which would break this BtranglchOld. As a re- huIt of this monopoly, rates bc- tween Bangor and New York arc four times aH high---in propor- ton to mileage ---- as tho haul between New York and Idaho.

The State Water Commission is wond rous wise in it's annual report in stating, "The waters of the state are the property of all the people of the state. No rights should be forfeited without carefully weighing the needs of one region against another. :" Would that our legislators had had this same opinion years back when they were free and lavish in handing over precious water rights to various public utility companies Perhaps there would not be the alarm that is felt today among various communities that see existing sources of their water supply taken away from them or removed from the category of potable water supplies. Of course, too, this mild rebuke above is probably aimed at the large cities that are going far afield for water rights. Waterbury probably comes in for some criticism on this score, since it has added the waters of the She paug to it's water system. We'd rather have it this way, though, than to have our watcrcourses gobbled up by private con cerns for their own exploitation.

After all that good old "Jm" Farley has done for the Post Office Department all he gets is few bitter looks and all sorts of attempts to investigate him and his department. And "Jim" you know has got the department out of the "red" after many years of republican rule which plunged it deeper and deeper into debt True "Jim" may not get all the credit there is to be given for this piece of financing, but the fact remains never the less. And they even wanted to investigate his action in presenting imperforate sheets of stamps to collectors in the administration. What life, Jim!

A Date To Be Observed

We cannot very well pass by February 8, 1885. It marks the silver anniversary of the Boy Scout movement in America. Waterbury in conjunction with every community in this nation should pause for a moment to consider the benefits brought to them by scouting programs over this period. They are many and various. To the Scouts, as well as to those men who made e:outing possible in the nation, we are indebted. We only hope that when tke golden jubilee of the scouts is observed in 1860 twice the enthusiasm will greet 1t.
 It is not our intention to set down in these few lines the many achievements of the first twenty-five years of scouting. It has entered into so many different homes that it hardly demands any such recitation from us Nor do we need to explain the purpose of the movement. f0rcibly by the participation of our youth in this glorious adventure which calls from them the very best in little manhood.
 If anything, the Boy Scout movement has given impetus to the creation of an idle time program that bids fair to turn every boy and also every girl into the channels which lead to good citizenship. While it wasn't the first move to capture the interest of the boy and to prevent him falling an easy prey to the vicissitudes of early age, still it was the first one that really attracted worldwide attention and support. From it have come other ideas in the way of bringing the boy and girl to manhood and Womanhood with the neces- sary ideals, inspirations, and ambitions to insure their ready acceptance of responsl- bility. Give such movements your full hearted support and encouragement.

CLEVELAND, January 28.-The

An expansion average of points

1t is noted that structural demands

LIMIT TO PUBLIC
DEBT HELD NEAR
Guaranty Survey Declares
Huge Total May Begin
to Curb Recovery.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 28.-The be-
lief that the public debt of the United
States is approaching psychological
limit" was expressed in the Guaranty
Survey, published by the Guaranty
Trust Co. Of New York.
THE Governments success in float
ing its securities indicates that its
credit is sound and that probably our
public debt could be increased to
higher level without impairing the
confidence of investors" it said.
Nevertheless, even though 1t Is
apparent that we have not yet ap-
preached the mathematical limit Of
the public debt figured strictly in
terms of our population and national
wealth, there is room for the view
that we are approaching the psyche
logical limit.
Initiative Threatened.
Our public debt is reaching point
where further large increases may, by
discouraging individual initiative, de-
feat the very purpose for which the
debt is being created, namely, to
stimulate recovery"
The survey cited statistics which
show that on March 81, 1884, the
United Kingdom had net national
debt of more than $4,000, 900 900,
debts of local subdivisions OF more
than $500, ,0OO, 900 and total debt of
nearly S45, 900 10000
The United States on December 81,
1894, the survey stated. had a national
debt of S28, 400, 100000, local sub
division debts of SIS, 100000, 900, and
total debt of $48, ,078,000,000.
Per capita, this was S967 for the
United Kingdom and 1882 for the
United States.
THE outstanding differences in the
financial situations in the two nations
that should discourage reckoning our
safe debt levels in terms of per capita
debt of the United Kingdom" were
enumerated as follows:
The budget of the British nation
is balanced. and it appears to be the
intention to keep 1t in balance.
Large Deficit Cited.
"Our budget shows a large deficit,
and the administration has given no
assurance when it will be balanced.
THE British government is paying
current expenses out of current in
come, while approximately half Of our
Governments expenditures during the
next fiscal year will be paid out Of
anticipated taxes Of future generations.
THE carrying charges of the British
debt have been declining.
"And last, but, by no means least,
is the fact that large and increasing
proportion of the securities of the
United States Government is in the
form of recently-issued short-term
obligations held by banks, and 1t is
yet to be determined who will be
their ultimate holders and what part
they will play, perhaps involuntarily,
in the future credit of the Nation"
