Sign a Pledge

z Although the weekend was fairly good in the Waterbury area so far as motor accidents are concerned, we do not hesi- tate tonight to urge every motorist in Waterbury to sign the pledge that will appear nightly in this paper in the inter- est of safe and sane driving. Connecticut has experienced of recent weeks a sad recurrence of the days when every week. end witnessed a regular holocaust along our highway. Thanks to the determined efforts of the proper officials the tolls of highway deaths was lowered and we seemed headed for motoring paradise in which all was serene with no accidents or deaths to mar the scene.
 Now that we have dropped back and deaths and crashes are mounting, it is proper that some heed be given to our in- dividual faults. No driver is so perfect that he or she cannot stand bit of cor rection or criticism. Undoubtedly the responsibility for the greatest number of accidents rests with the operator We have seen our highways blamed for them recently. We know that efforts are afoot to rule off the roads vehicles that are not properly equipped to meet any and all emergencies that may come up in the twinkling of an eye.
 To this head newspapers of this state are cooperating with the Motor Vehicle Department in pledging drivers to safe operation. The Waterbury Democrat last night launched it's Careful Drivers League. Membership is purely voluntary and consists solely in pledging certain rule observations which should be in every motorists credo. These pledges will be forwarded to Motor Vehicle Commis- sioner Connor merely to show that Wa terbury drivers are behind his campaign and will at all times remember the law and the rules of the road and endeavor to live up to them. That's all we ask. No more, no less.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-08-20
What To Do About It

Discussion in Connecticut these days IS of special legislative sessions, relief tor the unemployed in our cities and towns, lower taxes by spreading the tax base. It should be kept in mind that within the next decade the heaviest federal taxes we have ever known will be levied. They will be due in part to the lavish hand with which relief money has been distributed and will continue to be distributed for some months to come Add to that the fact that the federal government is becoming more paternalistic every day and at price, too.
 Here in Connecticut the most perpleX- ing problem has been to convince legls- lators that there was any need ot reduc- ing the actual cost of government we have added to the many services ot the state without subtracting one. To keep pace we have added taxes, although in the same voice we have advocated the need or tax revision. So far as we can see in Con- necticut it has meant slight addition Tn taxes without one bit of aid for the op- pressed property owner as he was termed when tax revision was first mentioned.
 It was refreshing to read last week, though, that instead of merely bringing in $1,200,000 annually in revenue the new cigarette tax would mean $3,000,00O. This was not an official figure, to be sure mere- ly prediction by an officer of the Connec- ticut Association of Tobacco Distributors. Of course much depends on cooperation Of those handling cigarettes with the state authorities. Undoubtedly the high figure is bit exaggerated, but it is safe to as- sume that the actual revenue from these taxes will be above that assured by the State Tax Department survey.
 No matter how many millions are real ized, it is a new source of taxation and one that should be utilized perhaps for ridding various tax groups of some load they are now bearing. We said the same thing about the liquor taxes. That was .he first fresh source of income given the state in recent years yet it doesn't seem to have solved any difficulties. We wonder if there isn't cause for study right into this situation. Here we have had millions added to the state income inside of two years and we're still complaining. Obvi- ously we must economize, but nobody ap- parently thinks it such a good suggestion in official circles.

that reduces earnings to one-quarter of one per cent than there is to one which reflects itself in earnings of 30 per cent. Market quotations of those days measured the state of public hysteria, rather than sound values.
 After 1883 more stability became evl- dent as the downward trend was stopped. The upward trend which followed was feeble and interrupted time after time by cautious investors who hastened to take their small profits every time the prices advanced At the same time, the market was upheld more by hope and native optl- misln than by tangible evidence of pros perity. But this summer has seen a dis tinct difference. Statements of earnings and declared dividends have become the sound base for the market advance and there is no more doubt in the minds of close observers that the end of the long slump has come.

Black, Man, White Man

Next month two heavyweights will climb into the ring and fight for the right to meet the present champion. One ot these men is a Negro. He is devout stu dent of the Bible which he reads every day, total abstainer from liquor and to- bacco and, so far as the public has been informed, is free from all the common vices of men. He made his manager and trainer promise that if he disposed of his last opponent in one round, they would drink no liquor for six months. He is a 'dead pan," emotionless in the ring, a killer" He saves his money.
 The other is white. He won the cham pionship and almost immediately threw it away by refusal to train. He croons, in- habits Hollywood, trained for his last fight at Atlantic City, is a clown in the ring and out of it, laughs, sings and spends his money freely Physically the two are mar vels, young, we'll matched. The public is expected to pay $500,000 to see them fight. The outcome will prove as many things as there are persons of divergent views.

allotment will ge for education. Out of the $5O,000,000 ear marked for the program, $2S,- 0O0,000 will be spent as follows:
 i. A lunch-and- -carfare dole of $6 a month to poor high school students.
 ?. Work Relief jobs, part time, to college students at
 $15 month.
 3. Similar aid to college graduates who can't find jobs
 and want 10 continue with
 post graduate courses.
 This leaves 22,00O,000 for all other categories of youth, includ- ing youngsters who have had little or no schooling and the thousands of boys who are hitch hiking over the country.
 This is the group which is worrying Williams. To decide on a definite program he has been getting acquainted with youngsters at transient camps.
 "What would you do, boys, if you were me?" he. asks. "How would you run the show?"
 Unanimously they tell him they don't want to be sent home, and most of them say they don't want to go to school anymore. This Is about the ony inspira- ton they have to offer. So Will Hams is still groping.

Resettlement of Connecticut acres will shortly begin on a major scale, the first experiment of this kind by the resettle- ment administration. It is proposed to take farmland and adapt it to recreational purposes. Land that has outlived it's use- fitness for agricultural purposes will be bought, with the federal bureau already having 10000 acres of land under option in North Stonington, Hebron, Marlbor- ough, Griswold, and Windham. The aver age price per acre was $15 and most landowners eagerly accepted the govern ment offer. Where the purchase price will not be sufficient for families to remove elsewhere and start new life, they may be employed in the development of the park and forest areas contemplated. Lakes will be made by building dams; tree nurseries started; trails built; camp sites provided. In short great natural paradise will be provided. Sounds sorta good.

Creation of four different types of pub- lie schools in this state to provide employ ment for the 2,500 estimated men and wo- men of the teaching profession, now un- employed, is called for in a scheme upon which WPA officials are looking very favorably The idea was advanced by Mi ohael D.

He proposes kindergarten and nursery schools for children of working mothers; elementary schools for youngsters on the border line of passing; schools for retarded pupils; and schools for ambitious youngsters seeking double promotion.

 "He was hard to manage sometimes, says Uncle Dan now. but not when the dog was around. Then he would lie still, watching the dog catch flies.
 "He'd get so interested in the trick that he tried to i'm. itate the dog.
 And by George, he got SO he could catch files himself!" Silent Prober
 Senator Cotton Ed" Smith has developed a technique all his own when 1t comes to conduct ing Investigations. F
 Early last March thero oc- cured student and precipitous break in the market price of cot ton. The bull-voiced South Carolnian, himself cotton grower, let out a blast of an- guish, accused unnamed "speculators" of having caused the crash, demanded senate probe.
 The crash was due chiefly to uncertainty about govern. ment.guarantced price, plus an ovcr.supply of cotton. But the senate authorized the in. quiry, gave Smith $10,0OO to finance 1t.
 No more was heard of the matter for six weeks. Then "Cot- ton Ed" approached members of the Senate Audit and Control Committee, which passes on in- vestigation appropriations, and said he needed more money. He had made no report, held no public hearings, but he said he had an investigator working and had to have an additional sum to complete the job.
 Cotton Ed" Redoubles
 Committee members asked him how much he wanted and Smith said $10,000. He was told to submit a formal request. When 1t was received it was found that Cotton Ed" Mad left blank the sum of money he was seeking.
 Called before the committee, he boosted the ante to s25,000. After some pickering the com mittee gave him $12,500. a
 Again the inquiry dropped out of sight. No public hearings were held. No report was made. But that did not mean that Cot ton Ed" was not on the job. Not at all.
 The other day he again storIned into action - with request for a new grant of $5O,OOO.
 Cotton Ed" has an impress sive Justification for this latest demand. Cotton is a billion dollar industry" he explains. "I've only had $22,5O0 for this Investigator, while the Federal Trade Commission, which is in- vestigating the milk business, has already spent $100,000 and has just been granted another $100,- 900. It ain't fair to cotton"
 NOTE-The ETC has held numerous public milk hearings, has made two comprehensive re- ports exposing scandalous mon- opolistic and profiteering prac- tices in the Connecticut and Philadelphia milksheds.

Selected Poem
HOLLYHOCKs IN TOWN
(Katherine Van Der Veer in the Christian
 Science Monitor)

(Katherine Van Der Veer in the Christian
 Science Monitor) They lift, tall spires of apricot and rose Against the dark wall of city street. Who should be growing in the garden-close Of some old seaside town, where winds are fleet. Where gabled houses face the morning sun With small-paned windows set like watchful eyes, To the sailboats vanish one by one, In still migration under cobalt skies There they could tower by southernwood and
 phloX,
 Drop folded blossoms on sun-browned turf, Near gray sheep cropping by the grayer rocks. Whose weak cries drown in thunder of the surf. Yet here they build. with brightly hammered
 stalks,
 A shelter from the crowd of human kind, And bring the tang of salt to one who walks In city ways with ocean-gong mind
