other one, though we don't usually look on 1t in that light. It is sentimental be- cause the man who has it is ruled by what he feels and not by his brain. And it is just as great barrier in the path of enlightened penology as is the senti- mentality which springs from maudlin sympathy.
 Julian Alec, acting president of the Cal ifornia Board of Prison Directors, points out that the hope for an intelligent penal program lies between these two extremes. Our present system, which herds great masses of men together, keeps them idle, and mixes first offenders with hardened old ,repeaters simply creates fresh troubles for us, he asserts. It is his idea that each state should establish work camps for such prisoners as are not conl- pletely beyond reform.
 Let transfer from prison to camp be a reward for good behavior, he urges; let the convict in the camp understand that he is being fitted for 8 return to civil life; put hope in his breast instead of hatred and we shall approach a sensible solution of our prison problem. If we can lay aside these two kinds of sentiment and be guid- ed by reason, we may follow some such scheme as this |. and save ourselves much trouble. .,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-02-02
Sentiment No Answer

The one thing more than any other which stands in the way of our reaching g sane and workable prison program is sentimentality. Here is one problem which we do not seem able to approach reasonably. No matter when or how it comes up, we look at it through mist which our sentimental preconceptions have spread before our eyes, and this mist distorts and conceals the things we look at.
 Now there are two kinds of sentiment tality in connection with the prison prob lem. One is the kind made familiar by the man who suffers from excessive softness of heart. To this man the convict is simply . luckless, misunderstood child - per- son who has never had chance, and who will fforsake his evil ways overnight and become an upright citizen devoted hus- band and father, and a pillar of the church, if only someone will speak to him kindly.
 The mischief that this kind of senti- mentality is responsible for in our treat inent of criminals is so obvious and so widespread that it needs no comment The other kind of sentimentality is the exact reverse of this. It is the hard-boiled type. The man who possesses 1t thinks that no prison routine can be too harsh for law breakers. If someone tries to give pris- oners decent food, decent sanitation, and halfway respectable training for law abiding life, this man cries that the pris- oners are being "coddled."
 He is against paroles, against "trusty" systems, against every effort to turn crins- inals into good citizens. This attitude is just as truly 2 sentimental attitude as the

Most Popular Measure

We hope that the harsh criticism and the immediate reaction to the liquor pro- posal of Senator George T. Culhane of Waterbury won't make everyone lose sight of the fact that last week he gave to the Legislature what may be regarded as it's most popular bills, if you regard them from the standpoint of the average citi- zen and taxpayer. We refer to those two bills, one of which made the legal rate of interest on mortgage loans exactly four and one-half per cent. An accompanying measure would make the interest rate on existing loans the same as the above fig ure. Failure of any individual or concern to lower rates to this figure would be punishable.
 Some facts are due in defense of these measures. Ninety per cent of the fore closures today are due to delinquent taxes. The Commercial Record of January 25 shows that Waterbury has had an average of over 200 foreclosures each year, during the past three. This is less than in Hart ford and New Haven, but is not encourage ing by any means. And Tn addition you can reckon that twice that number of pieces of property have been transferred by quit claim deeds to avoid publicity and expense. In fact we have heard it claimed right here in Waterbury that in the last three years 1000 pieces of property have been taken away from the rightful owner each year.
 Only the intervention of the HOLC prevented the total rising above this fig nre. That record is none too encouraging for the future growth of our city. Nor does it speak well for Waterbury main- taining it's present size. Real estate is the main source of municipal income; taxes must be paid, but when an owner becomes delinquent in them and begins to feel the terrible effect of the per cent rate, he is apt to look around, notice what is hap which does himself, his city, and society in general no good whatsoever.
 Home ownership is great asset to any community. It tends to keep a man dii- gent and happy, as well as the proper type of citizen. Savings banks, private mort gages or municipalities were never intend- ed to manage real estate. Yet they have been forced into it, not necessarily by any desire of their own, but perhaps to protect certain interests. The Culhane bill would give real estate owners chance to wipe out back taxes. All the various types of mortgage holders would be placed in the position of aiding the home owner, too.
 How many know that if a savings bank pays back taxes on property it has had to take over, it is allowed to deduct this amount from taxes paid to the state? How much better for the city to get the prin- ciple of the assessed tax with four or five per cent interest than to have to wait in- definitely for nine per cent. A typical to pay his tax bill of $1OO. Today he must case - May 1, 1880, home owner failed pay approximately $145 to obtain re- lease from the tax bill. Under the Gull hane bill the city could accept $125 plus savings in time, trouble, expense of fore closure. The city would get it's tax; the citizen would keep his home.

A Book a Day
Suggests Revolving
 Fund For U. s.
BY BRUCE CTToN

one of the interesting by-pro- ducts of the depression has been revival of the almost lost art of pamphieteering. The booklet form of discussing public questions used | to be very popular in the early days of the republic; then 1t faded out. Now a flood of pamphlets,
 most of them offering cures for
 our economic anemia, has been pouring forth.
 Move the Goodsw by Stuart Chase, the prolific accountant economist, is the lates of such ap- peals. nd, appearing at this time, 1t
 assumes more than prophetic tone for most of 1t was printed as a magazine article las tyear.
 Chase believes nothing will avail us unless the 10 million wOrkmen in the durable goods industries are re-employed after being out of work for three years. In this he agrees with almost all economists, right down to conservative Leonard Ayres.
 But in his method of doing this. he puts forth version of the John Maynard Keynes school of govern ment spending. These words. writ ten last year, soun dprophetic. now:
 T propose that the federal govern ment fatly accept the necessity of finding useful work for the 10 mill
 lion unemployed :" He would
 appropriate $15,OOO,000.000 every
 year for this. as long as necessary. Admitting that this Is impossible under the present system of gov-
 ernment interet-bearing borrow ing, he suggests that the govern-
 ment "create' the money by issu-
 ing 1t to states or cities, taking in
 return their non-interest-bearins bonds.
 As these were paid of from
 taxes. they would create q revolv-
 ing fund, which could be used for
 more advances. At any time that private industry re.empi0yed the
 unemployed. the government re-
 voiving fund could pay off and go | out of use.
 This provocative and as it hai
 turned out, partly prophetic pam phlet, raises the question of how | prophetic it's monetary side may I have been. It's No 4B of the John

Press Comment
HARD LIQUOR OVER THE BAR
 (New Britain Herald)

So the state Federation of Labor is inclined to uphold the contcn- tion of tavern keepers for the right to sell hard liquor over the bar and will present its own liquor bill at the legislative ses- sion. The purported idea Is to prevent" bOotlegging and to give the workingmen Q chance to drink O glass of liquor over Q bar.
 In addition, high licenses are fa- vOred, which would weed out many of the present taverns and bring the total of the remainder down to somewhat the same ratio to the population as existed before proht- bition came to the iand. It Is pos- sible that some tavern keepers haven't taken ali probabilities into considerations. for surely if there are to be fewer taverns after the proposed revised liquor laws are made effective some of the pres ent tavern keepers who have joined in demanding changes are really advocating their own elim- ination. Of course, if 1t is their idea to sell hard liquor over the bar without more stringent laws and license fees than exist at the present time then they are justi- : fled in favoring such a financial paradise. But 1t Is beginning to get clearer every day that if the right to sell hard liquor Is brought back to the saloons then there will be other restrictions which wili hold down their number.

iM NeO Legislation.

Washington, Feb. 2-The sen- ate's emphatic veto of the world court has thrown something of 8 spike into state department plans for Q revival of disarma- ment attempts. Actually, American participation in the court would have no effect upon disarmament. It was the psy- chology of the move which was considered m DOT tant. Premier Flandin and Foreign Minister Laval of France post poned their trip to London until after the senate vote was taken. They planned to discuss With the British a new attempt to get Germany back into the league, were hoping that Roose- welt was moving back into par ticip a ti on in international affairs. Now they know they will get little help from Washington. w h en Thomas Schall, blind senator from Minnesota, disparagingly ught Mrs Roosevelts name into the World Court debate, he was booed down by republicans and demo- crats alike.

Senator Robinson of Arkansas said of Senator Long, on the senate floor, "What does the senator from Louisiana know re- garding the true spirit of religion?" on the same day a Dallas, Texas, newspaper sent query to Senator Longs office regarding his religious affiliations. The answer was: "The senator is a Baptist, and a member of the First Baptist church of Shreveport" On the day of the senate's final dis cussion and vote on the world court, more than fifty represen- tatives came into the senate chamber to hear the debate and get a taste of high life.
