roads and ALP In need of heavy re-
pairs on January l. 1890, compared
with 4,154 stored locomotives and TO-
SAL in need of heavy repairs at the
present time.
The marked increase in the number
OF locomotives in need Of heavy re-
pairs and the limited number of loco
motives held in reserve indicate that
with any marked increase in carload
ings our railroads will be forced to
make substantially increased expen-
ditures for repairs and for the pur-
chase Of new locomotives, he said.

Work for Workers

Harvest time brings call for help in the fields of Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, and other western states. All of those states are finding workers reluctant to leave the relief rolls and join the pay rolls. Some of the men complain that the farm CTS are unable to pay them until their crops are sold and paid for. Others con- tend that once man has left the relief roll it is very difficult for him to get back onto it. The real seat of trouble lies in human disinclination to work and it is es- pecially hard for man to get down to work after lay-off. Returning vacation CTS will bear witness to this.
 Most of the states are refusing relief to those who refuse to work and this ap- pears to be an eective measure. This is no new phenomenon in social problems. It appears after every war and after every industrial slump. And it has always been cured after a while. When jobs become plentiful, men will fill them as they did after 1865 and 1878 and 1918. There will be chronic loagers but there will be more chronic workers anxious to stand on their own feet and to ''get along" As between the old problem of too few jobs and the new one of too many, this is better.

of trees, each group adapted to the region in which it is planted. Trees already being used are the green ash, American elm, Chinese elm, bur and post oaks, cotton woods, hackberry, willows, red cedar and ponderosa pine. Planned nursery produc- tions will provide other varieties for later planting.
 We'll begun may not be half done in this particular project, but certainly good start has been made. A year ago people were wondering ho wtrees could be made to grow in that dry area. This summer they may start wondering how seedlings can be kept from washing away in the ex- cessive rains. It's no easy task under any circumstances, but it is eminently worth tackling.

"The Common Welfare"

What his enemies apparently cannot forgive the President for is his determination to re-make plan of "the common welfare" His insistence that the good of all and not. the privilege of a few shall be the principle of government is the very thing which has created the opposi- tion to his plans and the mis- representation of his social phil osophy. Hailed as the savior of the nation in 1882 he is now be- ing pictured as the elective des- pot than which there fig no worse tyrant." Everything was lovely while he was removing the effects of our national bank ruptcy. The instant he tried to do away with the causes of 1t he becomes, above all things, an enemy of religious freedom. Meanwhile, and despite Rhode Island congressional elections, the imbecilities of alleged relig- ious writers, and the most fero- cious personal abuse, he still, remains the hope of "the forgot. ten man." He still retains the confident trust of those who know that he is not going to be baked in his effort to see to 1t that the country is run for the common welfare" Attempts, like the quotations have made, to picture him as an enemy of free- dom and a dictator who will out;Stalin stalin, only defeat, their own ends.

Miles of Trees

That shelter belt of trees which was proposed for planting in the western plains dropped out of the news as other important matters crowded in, but the plan was not lost. State directors have now turned in their first reports on the work. It appears that 125 miles of plant ings have been completed in six states. An additional special planting of SLY acres has been completed on 1926 farms through cooperation of farmers and gov ernment.
 There are 649 acres of land now under lease for nursery purposes. Seeding there is going forward rapidly. It is expected that 75,000,000 seedlings will be produc- cd, barring, always, unforeseen insect inVasions or extreme weather conditions.
 North Dakota leads in strip paintings, with e6 miles. Next comes South Dakota with z8 and Kansas with 24. Varying cli- naiicc coalitions in different sections of |he extentise ze4e are met with variety

Connecticut's Register and Manual for 1885 is just off the press. Copies will soon be available for distribution. Included in this issue, the first prepared by demo- cratic Secretary of State in many years, is fine article on the tercentenary observ- ance. An interesting article in the Regis ter is that of Judge Epaphroditus Peck of Bristol, member of the Legislature for many years. The customary features are included in the volume. It is notable that in listing departments, such as commis- sions and boards, all those interrelated are included under one heading.

The Fun Begins

The fun of paying for the depression has begun. Congress has expanded the ln- come tax brackets to include those in the $800-a-year class. Other changes also make it possible for the federal government to derive a much heavier yield from this form of income than in the past. It is not a question apparently of how we will pay off the relief bills that concern our na- tional legislators, but how soon those bills can be written down as paid. This soak the-fortunate plan is probably but one stone in 8 we'll l-planned route to balanced budget.
 We don't know what effect the taxation scheme will have on the administration politically. In the past the various changes affected in our income tax laws didn't seem to weigh much with the voters. When it comes down to voting for presi- dential candidates, the national electorate is inclined to view other issues more ser iously than the one of taxes. And yet to- day taxes form the most important issue in our national life. Without them we could do nothing. With them we are con- tinually struggling, pointing out their ln- equality, railing at their necessity.
 Of course no one could ever have imag- ined that the tremendous amount of mon- ey OelHg sPeHC Ioudy III iShel PAoyee..' could be written off the books. Somebody has to pay for it. The taxpayer seems the only one left. And it would seem as if the burden of the taxes would fall on MT. Average Man. He's the man who struggles along from year to year, hoping for the brighter day; expecting some day to own his home home; to send his children to college; to afford few luxuries long de- nied. He foots the bill; he always has; he always will. Long suffering, we do think that governments, all governments, owe it to him to do something about reducing their cost to make up for the sacrifices of those who pay the taxes of the nation.

A Thought for Today
Highway Holocaust

It must have been rather discouraging to the new State Traffic Commission, as we'll as to the many similar local bodies, to read of the alarming number of deaths on Connecticut highways over the weekend. The total was far greater than any pre- vious one in good many months. It was perhaps the high-water mark for this year in the matter of fatalities and number of accidents. We sincerely hope that it will never be repeated. Let us believe that this was but the last shot of a motor-mad age. The future will show a steady decline in deaths.
 Deaths by violence have shown a sea- bonal increase in this vicinity in the last few weeks. We were rather birding our selves on the fact that motorists were be- coming safety conscious when the blow fell and several fatalities were recorded in quick order. Then the dreadful tidings of the weekend came to light. It was dis couraging after the many months of preaching that officials connected with traffic and motor regulations had engaged in. All their work apparently had gone for naught. In the words of Motor Vehicle Commissioner Connor, "This is terrible"
 But we firmly believe that the worst has come. We think that the stark horror of the several events of the past weekend are going to make a more lasting impress sion on the minds of motorists than all other events of years gone by. We have had accidents as bad or even worse than those which have occurred in recent days. But never have the facts been brought home to the motoring public so forcibly that caution on the highways does not in- clude one driver, but every driver. We look for an immediate and lasting change in operation of motor vehicles-and for the better, too.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-08-13

New York has declared war on unneces- sary noises. The first one to be abolished will be the auto horn. Not that motor cars will be deprived of horns. But drivers will be reprimanded for unnecessary sounding of horns. It would be good idea if this lesson could be preached in every large center. The tendency to push the horn button seems born in most Americans. We like noise; we're uncomfortable when si- lence engulfs us. We should think that the noises of our daily business pursuits would give us real desire to avoid un- necessary ones in moments of relaxation.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-08-13
Blame Roosevelt

It would be a dreary existence indeed if we could not wiring a laugh at least every day out of newspaper despatches. The lat est snicker comes out of story from Kingman, Arizona. If seems that four men and four women, two of the latter bear ing the significant names of "Jane Doe" face prosecution for practicing polygamy. Excommu- nicated from the Latter Day Saints Church for indulging in a practice which the Mormon presidency had abolished thirty- five years ago, the exc0mmuni- cants pursued the error of their way until they got mixed up in the governmental relief mill. Then when it developed that the polygamists had from nine to fifteen children each and that the proud parents were being fed from the national pantry something had to be done about it We may expect any day now to see that the Roosevelt admin istration in addition to all ttn other offenses is responsible for the revival of polygamy and that MT. Farley winked at tho practice because it makes fq additions Co the democratic vot
 ing iiats. Stranger things hav
 happened and equally silly stnF
 ies have been and HiIi ne es

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-08-13
Heat Turned On

However, as soon as the result was announced and it became known that the Republican candidate for congress had won by a big majority the election was viewed by Republican ed- itors and political commentators not as a purely local affair to which no great importance should be attached but as event of tremendous national import. It has been interpreted, by those whose wish and job 1t is to con- vince the reading public that their interpretation is the true one, to mean that the revolt against President Roosevelt is under full swing and that, as a result of two by four election in Rhode Island, his chances Of reelection in 1936 have been se- riously impaired if not totally ruined. The ancient slogan, "As Maine goes so goes the nation" must now be rewritten to read, "As one congressional district in Rhode Island votes so will the country vote." What arrant non- sense! No one who has the slightest knowledge of political affairs will be fooled into draw ing wider conclusion than the facts warrant. If it were i'm possible to secure the opinion of trained observers familiar with all the local features of the campaign I have no doubt that 1t would become quite clear that what happened in Rhode Island was not a repudia- tion of President Roosevelt at all but just another example of what can happen to a dom- inant political party when its members indulge in the luxury of an inter-party row.
