Supreme Achievement

Regardless of personal or political feelings concerning Senator Huey P. Long of Louisiana no one can deny that today he occupies the highest point in his hectic career. He has achieved martyrdom. We don't imagine for one instant that the stormy petrel of southern politics ever aimed at martyrdom. He had his eyes on more material things than this fleeting bit of fame. But nothing, not even the turbulent and spectacular efforts that governed his every political coup, will quite outshine Huey Long in death.
 As news of the shooting of the peppery little legislator travelled around the nation, it was greeted in typically American fash ion. Yes, there were expressions of pleas- ure at the announcement and it was fer vently expressed by more than one indi- vidual that the world would be we'll rid of a troublemaker if the senator failed to survive his wound. And just as many out spoken citizens still regarded and called Senator Long a truly great citizen, one bent on relieving the ills of mankind. That's the way we are with our public citizens. Only few of them win the ap- plause of the entire audience.
 AI 10 uOuOCAuA II c%hJ POAAtAN"A POAANASo e~~ vanced by Huey Long will live after him. They depended too much on the man him. self to put them across. He was real character, perhaps not always pursuing the right course of action, but then again that depended quite entirely on the per- sons point of view. We could never see eye to eye with the man. We believe sin cerely that good share of his utterances were made not for the meat that was con- tained in them, but for the effect they would have on the great mass of people in the United States
 His assassination was entirely uncalled for. Two wrongs have never made right. If this shooting is regarded as solution of an unpleasant political situation, it might oyer span of months or years be boomerang. What could happen to Long could happen to others. The criminal flaunts the law because he knows it is wrong; this crime was committed because it's author thought it was right. Time alone will prove how utterly illogical such reasoning is.

Business No Longer Private

It is often hard to draw the line between private business and public business. But when a private enterprise sends tentacle halfway around the world and gives the general public genuine reason to fear that their country may be involved in war, it ought to be obvious that the whole affair has become public concern. For this reason it is a little bit hard to be pa- tient about all the stern and dignified de- nials with which oil company officials surrounded that famous Ethiopian con- cession-up to the moment when it was cancelled.
 Let's get the record straight on this. First news of the concession came through an announcement by Halle Selassie that rights to develop the eastern half of Ethiopia had been granted to Standard Oil interests The name of the corporation to which the concession was granted was the African Development and Exploration Company. This company had been formed by the Standard Vacuum Oil Company. The Standard Vacuum, in turn, is jointly owned by the Socony-Vacuum Company and the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, two of the largest units in the great Standard Oil chain.
 But could you find an official of either G these companies WHO 1ldu So HluCl do heard of the deal? You could not. Presi- dent John A. Brown and Vice President Harold F. Sheets of Socony-Vacuum de- clared that Socony-Vacuum had nothing to do with the concession. Similar denials came from w. s. Parish chairman of the board of Standard Oil of New Jersey, and E. J. Sadler, vice president These denials were broadcast between the time that the concession was announced and the time that it was-at Secretary of State HulPs request-dropped.
 Those few days made up an uneasy period for American citizens. Here was this Ethiopian mess, away off on the other side of the world which had begun as a colonial quarrel and now seemed likely to engender frst-rate European war; into it, just at the moment we were all thanking heaven that we couldn't get mixed up in it, came the news of this con- cession, which had the effect of putting us into it right up to our ears.
 The American people wanted to know all about it. They had an indisputable right to know And the high officials of the two Standard Oil concerns which own- ed the company which held the concession were blandly denying that they had ever heard of it.
 That pretense soon collapsed of course. but it is something to remember, just the same Keeping the public in the dark about the private concerns of a business enterprise is one thing; doing it about matter which directly and inescapably concerns the whole nation is quite another

State Senator William E. Hagearty of New Britain doesn't believe in beating around the bush. And he must want special session of the Legislature for he says, eff Governor Cross is the governor the state and the leader of the democratic party in Connecticut, in fact as well as in name, he should know whether special session of the legislature is needed or not and he should go before the people of the state through the press and on the radio and tell them what is needed and get it. If he is so weak that he has to dilly-dally around the way he is doing, he should re- sign as governor" And to all of this Gov ernor Cross in his delightful style simply replied, That's all right. I have no com ment to make" As for the special session when there's some signs of coordinated program of relief legislation prepared perhaps the governor will act

After December 1 your potatoes will have to be sold in marked containers on which tax stamps have been placed. So all you housewives can prepare to find your favorite dealer in potatoes being very cau- tious In fact this nation of ours is going to be potato conscious after December l. The potato control act goes into effect then. And the buyer is going to be as guilty as the seller of any violations of this topsy-turvy enactment, one of the craziest ever written on the books. And you folks who grow potatoes in your back yard, get ready to list your plot and per- haps eliminate it entirely, for potato crops must be reduced so that the price will rise.

Get Going, Governor!

Life is just one conference after an other these days for Governor Cross. And probably the chief executive wouldn't mind if there was little variation in the theme of the several gatherings, but there never is. They're always the same. The universal topic in official circles right now is the Merritt Parkway. It isn't built yet; it even isn't approved yet as PWA project And there may be bit of a diff ficulty in getting it approved as it left the hands of Connecticut officials.
 All of which doesn't set too well with the motorists of this state They know that evenually it will be their tax dollars that pay for every foot of this super road that is built across Fairfield County. Some of them are heartily in accord with all the plans advanced by the various county or ganizations that have discussed and en- outraged and demanded this road for the last five or ten years. Others are willing to have the road constructed, but don't go into lengthy arguments on the need of some particular type of stone or grass in this construction. In short they accept the road as inevitable.
 Right now the project is held up mo- mentarily because officials at Washington wouldn't approve $3,200,000 as the item to be expended on acquiring 16 miles of rights of way still unacquired along the proposed route. The state can spend $1, ,50O,000 for this, says Washington. But contrary to the opinion that this might cause the ultimate grand total cost of the road to $24 4,000000, it is now hoped that by dint of few more conferences it will be possible to keep the cost down to the $2O,000,00O. The idea is to get Uncle Sam to donate $9,000,000 which will be bonds. We can sell $15,OOO,OO0 worth, so sverything's safe Intil tha state finds it. self hard pressed to retire those bonds an- nually and calls on the motorists to do 1t.

Selected Poem
THE NEWER EDUCATION

(1llas Leberman in the New York Times) I said to Mothers Club mother,
 "Your boy is one-person circus; He's always at something other
 Concocted to harry and irk While we are conversing, he screeches;
 He tramps like army with banners; I wish you'd find some one who teaches
 The young elementary manners Said she, "Theresis warmth in concessions; Reproof or admonishment freezes; A child should be free from repressions;
 He ought to do just he pleases." "But, madam I murmured, "he barely
 Suggests that he had any schooling; He reads only comics and rarely
 Lets lessons encroach on his fooling. To train him would need dynamiting;
 He lodges tasks mentally gainful; His adding is wretched; his writing
 And spelling equally painful. Said she, You're an old-fashloned fogy . UIer son In agreement threw dishes And whooped, Run along, little doagieD
 child should learn just what he wishes"

 should have demanded an accur- ate statement of the facts in the case. But fairness and accuracy go, by the board when a partisan end is to be reached. It Is no se- cret that the burden of caring for the needy throughout the state has become so great that the municipalities which have been carrying it, have reached the limit of their endurance. Neither Republicans nor Demo- crats differ on this point. But if the state is to take up the ob- ligation which community treas- uries have hitherto assumed the money to do 50 must be raised. Obviously the only means to raise money is by taxation of some sort.

No Result

If a special session were to be called now by Governor Cross there is nc assurance that 1t would get anywhere. There would be added expense to the state and 1t is certain that the Republicans would have experi- enced no change of heart. Their attitude would De the same as 1t was in the last national and state campaigns: let the suffering starve and freeze but we will not permit the stuffed purses of en- trenched interests to be touched. doubt if the Socialists would behave differently than they did during the regular session of the assembly. MT. J. Henry Rora- back still has them by the throat latch and MT. Roraback's clutch still retains it's crushing power. In view of the fact that there is a city election coming on in Bridgeport they might in stump speeches split the heavens with protestations of regard for the toiling masses and favor the in- come and dividend taxation which they voted down last Spring. But let the special ses- sion be called and the whip would crack. The Socialists would again perform as the master ordered.
 So far as the Democrats are concerned they would be even more impotent than they were during the regular sessions of the house of representatives and the senate. Due to the appointment of Senator Daly of New Haven as director of the w. P. A. and that of Senator Stremlau of Meri- den to another federal job the number of Democrats in the sem ate has been reduced from seven teen to fifteen. What seventeen could not do it is idle to think fifteen could accomplish.

Eff teen streams and ponds have been desig mated for use in this experimental period. The creel limit is three pounds per man and one additional trout or not more than five trout per day. That will be good news to many wielders of the rod and reel.

Where the Blame Lies

It is equally idle to expect Governor Cross to force an issue whose outcome is at least doubt ful. There is no question of the sincerity of his interest in the suffering people of the state. Neither is there any doubt about the canniness of his political vision. If 1t were possible to se- cure an agreement between Democrats and Republicans in both houses the governor could well afford to let the Socialists stew in their own juice. They would be obliged, wiliy-nilly, to. go along with MT. Rcraback's legislators. At this writing such an agreement is impossible. For

Socialists HOg.Tied

In the latest assembly, where the Democratic representatives and senators were in helpless minority, the conflict of method over the kind of taxation to be used was based upon the elemen- tai principles of the major par ties. The Democrats represented the people at large as against the interests of the few. The Re- publicans stood for the interests against the people. The Social ists, who under normal condi- tions might reasonably have been expected to vote with the Demo- crats, were hog-tied by the deal made between themselves and the Republicans prior to the or- ganization of the senate in Jan- uary. When the measure con- cerned with raising of the all- important revenue was being considered by the assembly it prescribed the means in the form of a sales tax. The Democratic minority was willing, in view of the pressing necessity, to swal- low the prescription unpalatable as it was. But 1t insisted through an amendment that there should also be a tax on dividends and income. If an act carrying such provisions had been passed it would have created draught on the mass least able to support 1t. It would also have compelled the class best able to stand the gaff to do it's bit in the emergen- cy. The Republicans refused to entertain any such plan and vot- ed against the amendment.
 To the amazement, even of
 hardened legislative reporters,
 the Socialists voted with the
 Republicans, killed the amend.
 mcnt, and in so doing fur-
 nished the final proof that the
 pre-organizati0n deal was from
 clad. Nothing could better il-
 lustrate the fact that when it
 comes to . question of political
 expediency the Socialists have
 nothing to learn from either of
 the old line parties which for
 public consumption they affect
 to despise.
 The position of the Democra- tic minority was, as it should have been, that if the people whose finances had been deplet- ed during the depression had to have them further depleted through a tax on the necessaries of life then those whose incomes had been relatively unimpaired should shoulder. a proportionate share of the pack.

fortable spots that they are
 glad to ease quietly out of the
 picture. That may be the reason Mac did not accom-
 pany the president on his trip
 to Hyde Park.
 In this particular case, how ever, it will take a lot of easing to shunt Mcintyre to the side lines.
 Mrs. Roosevelt made some gentle hints in that direction, So also did daughter Anna Roose- welt Boettiger. But it did no good.
 At heart the president is rather fond of his emaciated sec retary. They used to know each other back in the days when Roosevelt was a dashing young assistant secretary of the navy and Mac, as press relations of- ficer, splashed his exploits all over the front pages.
 And 1t is a fact that once the president forms a genuine friendship he does not earily re- linquish 1t.
 Lobby Alibi
 After Mac was found at the sensational cocktail party in the room of the chief lobbyist of 'Associatd Gas and Electric, the alibi was spread that getting the low-down from lobbyists is one of Macs duties for the pregi- dent.
 This is a long stretch of the
 imagination. The truht Is ! that Mac ise convivial soul
 who hates to refuse any invi-
 tatiOn which includes old
 Bourbon, a good dinner and
 company of about his own in-
 tellcctuRl level. s....
 Macs stomach is notorious. Some say 1t was made of the next thing to cast iron. He can consume more, and turn up for work fresher than almost any other official in the capital. ! Many lobbyist has thought he could drink Mac down.
 But none succeeded.
 However, 1t is doubtful whether Mac is able to give his chief in the White House much lobbying low-down. Probably they get much more presidential low-down from him. <,
 Silent Letters
 FERA's Bruce Mcclure doesn't let letter from big-shot up- set him any more.
 When he first became secre- tary to federal relief, he was giv- en a file of letters to answer. !; Important letters from gov X ernors and members of congress. Conscientiously, Bruce stayed late into the night sorting the letters, getting ready to dictate. He put some in piles on his desk, others in piles on various waste baskets about the room.
 When he came to work
 again in the morning, he found the room had been cleaned and the letters de-
 strOyed. . He was dismayed, mortified. He was positive he would be fired.
 But days passed and nothing happened. Nothing ever hap pened. He never heard from any of the letter writers.
 That experience gave Nc. Clure an idea. Silent theat-
 ment, he says, settles many an issue. Merry. Co., Round Cyclones, hurricanes, ty- phoons, and baguios are all the same thing, according to the U. s. Weather Bureau.
