THE NEW DEAL WASHINGTON
Hard to Believe, But $1,OOO Once Was a Lot of Money to Congress BOrah and Hi Johnson Seem to Have Dropped Feud.
By RODNEY BUTCHER Democrats Washington
 COrresDOntlentl

Washington, Feb 16.-Col Ed Halsey, secretary of the senate, has been here so long that he even cah remember when congress thought $1,0OO was a lot of money.
 Thirty-seven years ago, .Halsey went to work as a page. But only three decades ago, he recalls, as the senate considers spending five bil- lion dollars for relief alone, Sem ator Edmund Pettus of Alabama was telling a constituent about to listen to a debate: -
 You won't understand it. They don't mention anything less than $1,00Ow

Squelched? Not Mullen

You may remember Arthur F Mullen of Nebraska who was forced by White House pressur, to resign from the democratic ma. tional committee so that hIs high priced lobbying activities here wouldn't seem to have official sanction.
 In case you supposed that ideal | istic New Deal officials might be diffident about associating public ly with Mir Mullen after that, you may be interested in the descrip- ton of one of MT Mullen's recent cocktail parties. as taken from To- cal society columns: Tt seems that every member of the New Deal was there, with sena- tors and representatives, executives in the various departments of the government, notables from out of town, and very fine representa- tion from smart residential circles here"
 The party was in honor of Me- braska's new senator, Ed Burke. Mullen is the political boss behind Burke.
 know of only two important officials who avoid being enter tatned by political lobbyists, though you can be sure there are a few others. The social lobby is no more deadly than it was in republican days. But it's more brazen.

Some Red Hot Love

We Communists yield to no one in our love for country" said Earl Browder, general secretary and boss of the Communist party in this country, as he testified be- fore House labor subcommittee for the Lundeen unemployment in. surance bill. ''.r
 Browder even invoked what he called those immortal words of the Declaration of Independence which concern the right of the peo- pie to change or abolish the form of government and institute a new one"

BOrah-Hiram Feud

After an arrangement or many years, Senators Hiram Johnson and Bill Borah jointly led the fight against World Court entry and actually got to the point where you'd see them with their arms on each others shoulders. Old-timers recalled their asso- citation in the postwar League of Nations struggle. Some sentimen- talists professed to see the rebudd- ing of a beautiful friendship. And the two men do seem to have buried at least the blade of het hachet.
 But there are too many bygones between these two celebrated liD- eral independents to be completely forgotten. Feeling between hem arose as far back as 1912, when Borah refused to back the Teddy Roosevelt-Johnson Bull Moose tickle.
 Then, in 1920, when Johnson was a candidate against Leonard Wood and Frank Lowden for the repub- lican nomination which eventually went to Harding, Borah was anx- ious to make the nominating speech for Hiram.
 He has since been sour over the fact that Johnson gave the job to a friend from his home state who made what Borah calls "a Cham Der of Commerce speech about the beauties of California" which did the candidate no good at all.
 In the last congress the Johnson Borah bitterness had been built up to its full height. The two senators even made mean cracks at each other on the senate floor.

will be raised in this way.
Liquor taxes have been coming in now
for over year and will continue to flow in.
This may be termed a new source of rev.
enue for the state. Yet despite these new
funds of income the state is showing q
steadily mounting deficit. And funds are
not obtainable for many capital improve
ments of years standing. Taxes are just
as much of burden as ever, despite the
admissions on the parts of both officials and
taxpayers that revision is in order. There
surely must be something wrong some
where.
We can't quite understand why with
the income of the state materially increas-
ed and being increased still further there
shouldn't be some chance of making the
burden of the property owner or the motor
car owner bit easier. We presume this
last claim will be disputed as the state
imagines itself philanthropist by reducing
registration fees. At the same time gaso-
line taxes mount one cent per gallon, just
enough to cover the loss by dropping the
registrations. And the inspection charges
will more than make up for any loss of
departmental revenue. AS usual the poor
taxpayer gets it in the neck. -Long-suffer-
ing, we fear that when his day come the
state will not live to see it.

Bitter Enders

1t must be discouraging to the Ameri-
can and Republican, it's publisher and per-
sonnet in general, to rant and rave so much
over local politics, yet have so little in
fluence upon deciding the destiny of them.
That is at least one place where the
sninety-eight out of every hundred English
speaking people in Waterbury, may read,
but apparently are not completely sold
on those papers arguments. In other
words the old adage still holds good, You
can drive a horse to water, but you can't
make him drink
So much for the Leavenworth street
combinations political pulling power.
These weak sisters, consistent on politics
only, persist in trying to convince the
Waterbury electorate of the Democrats
subserviency to its party. Well, if for
no other reason than having the horse
sense to know a winner when it sees it,
we think, if for nothing else, the public
will give us credit there.
However, aside from that which any
school boy or girl knows is good reason
ing, the Waterbury Democrat furthermore
knows enough to realize the democratic
party is bigger than any individual or
group of individuals. Long since it has
been recognized fact that no one part of
ally 10 OlSSCI CIIdn tIlc WLOlC.
True the duties of newspaper perhaps
put it in position of being on the side
lines, so to speak, but only to direct, not
dictate.
Therefore as the Waterbury Democrat
said the other day, until the great major
ity of the electorate shows by consider
ably less than six and nine thousand ma
jorities that they prefer other than the
nreSent HAYES. or anV democratic admin
istration for that matter, we will not feel
peeved at being 'subservient' or 'obedient'
to such display of popular approval. It's
far at least more gratifying, even to ones
own feeling of contentment than the dog
in-the-manger attitude of the Leavenworth
street perennial DIRECTORS. We ofttimes
wonder if these papers succeeded in put
ting it across, even then, would they be-
satisfied. Probably not for anyone with
as sour an outlook on life in general must
be sore on themselves.

Life Begins Today

Instead of life beginning at 40 for Con-
necticut, it begins today, July l, for today
this state inaugurates new laws, new COM
missioners, everything new save perhaps,
the deal. Foremost In the new things we
get today is a cigarette tax of two cents per
pack Of twenty. Next we have the new
liquor laws. Although in effect their effect
will not be felt for at least a couple of
months more. However, we should be salts
fed, we presume, with the knowledge that
1t ID now legal to raise highball or cock
tail to ones lips in the several establish
ments granted that privilege of sale.
Child labor laws now prohibit boy or girl
under 16, except newsboys and farm-hands,
being employed. Under Is no one may
work at dangerous or hazardous occupa-
tion. Women in industry must secure per-
mission of the State Labor Department to
put in more than so hours per week. The
50-hour week may also affect men, too.
Then there is the close bank bill which re-
ieVes present receivers of banks which
have been closed of their duties. The State
Bank Commissioner will assume this role
in due course of time.
The long-demanded liberalization of the
utility laws of the state takes place and the
commission can now call its own rate hear
inRs as well as perform other duties hither-
to denied it. S. Mclean Buckingham of
Watertown become the milk car of the
State in place of Charles G. Morris, Will
liam e. Templeton, and Victor A. Rapport,
the original board created under the state
milk control act of 1888. Where city, town
o. borough court changes were made
these will become effective today. John c.
Blackall replaces Howard Durham as In
surance Commissioner.
The old age pension does not take effect
until 1886. Former u S. Senator Frederic
g. Walcott is now Commissioner of Public
Welfare and the old office of State Agent
as we'll as the Public Welfare Department
are abolished You may not have noticed
the changes today, but you will before
many more months, let's hope to your mu-
fnal enjoyment as well as benefit.

who had been clamoring for tax
tipping legislation apply the heat
to the reluctant democrats.
Successful Coup
That was precisely what was
done. Garner forecast the stu
alton one hundred percent.
The democratic leaders were
taken completely by surprise.
When they regained their breath
they issued lukewarm endorse
ments of the taxing proposals
but pooh-poohed any idea of
enacting them into law. Where
upon the liberals rolled UP their
sleeves and announced they
were prepared to fight any at
tempt to adjourn until the pro-
gram had been disposed of.
This was just the cue the
President had been waiting for.
He summoned the democratic
leaders to the White House. BY
his side was Garner, and it was
the latter who did most of the
hard boiled talking. He bluntly
brushed aside objections raised
by Chairman Bob Doughton of
the Ways and Means Commit
tee and Speaker Joe Byrns.
"WhO is being hit by these
taxes?" he demanded. "a hand
full of millionaires and some big
corporations who have been
making huge profits. Under this
tax plan, IS per cent of the cor
porations will pay less taxes.
The rest can well AFFORD to pay
more.

session to put this program

cratic party can't afford politic-s
ally not to put it through. The
Progressives have put US on the
spot with their threat to demand
action. We can't let them do
that. We've got to put the
Presidents program through
ourselves"
This logic struck home. Three
hours later, when the Confer
ence broke up, the leaders had
agreed to force action this ses-
sion regardless of how long it
necessitated keeping Congress in
session.
