THREE ALTERNATIVES POS SIBLE FOR PROPOSED NEW
 BANKING BILL :.

Waterbury, Conn.
 sM June 5. 1885. Editor, The Democrat:
 The proposed new banking bill of the administration has develop ed into a fight which may be de- cided in any one of three ways. 1. Private bankers will continue to control the Federal Reserve System. 2. The Government, will take over control. 8. The system will be operated by an independent board. e
 Mariner S.. Eccles, the new gov- ernor of the Federal Reserve Sys- tenn, thinks the system can be op- erated by the government to the better advantage of al the people. Mir. Eccles is a banker, not politician, formerly operating a string of 25 banks in addition to holding directorships in several large corporations. From experi- ence Mir. Eccles finds that the pri- vate bankers operate the system for their own benefit rather than the peoples benefit.
 Senator Carter Glass has spent his. life in politics. and on the side he dabbles with a snlall-town ]. wspaper. His banking knowledge was gained from his long exper- fence on the banking committees of both the House and the Senate. Senator Glass wants 10 keep the Federal Reserve System out of the hands of tie politicians. It is doubtful if the politicians could do worse job than have the bank ers.
 It is a strange contrast that these two men present. One knows banking and bankers from practi- cal experience and doesn't want bankers to continue to have con trol. The other knows politics and politicians from practical exper- fence and doesn't want politicians to control.
 The. broadest plan which has been advanced is to set up an in- dependent board, not unlike the Supreme Court, over which neither bankers nor politicians will have c...trol. The board members shall be appointed for life and cannot be removed except for cause.

for all, it would not be a bad world. If the world is a poor place to live in for the poor and the humble, it is because we want it that way. Water cannot rise above it's level, you cannot get more out of a thing than whats in it. Taking the brain as the creator of our social cosmos, we must admit that there are those who although in high stations are sub-normals, by the fruits of their work he shall know them. Look at the world today-look at some of the world leaders. In this country the people have not yet learned the one great lesson that the only dictators, that they can trust are the people themselves. In plain words the real dictators are the people. Tn Europe, in France and England, under the parliamentary form of government, the Assembly in France appoints the prime min ieter, in England the same, the parliament is the people, and the people are the parliament. Never for brief hour do the people del- egate their power to any one indi- yiudal, just as soon as a prime minister fails to carry out the wishes of the people, he is with his government thrown out of of- flee. Two governments in France who refused to give the war vet erans their just dues, were thrown out of office by the people, be- cause it was the blood of the peo- pie that was shed to save France, as it was in England, as it was in this country. The people of France and the people Of England, long ago got through with kings and monarchs who were absolute dic- tatcrs. Oliver Cromwell set a new style when he declared the rights of the people to rule their nation.
 In our form of government tho people delegate their authority to politician for four years, and in that time Congress may rave and babble. but nothing can be done to change the chief executive they have installed to handle their af- fairs. The same with the members of Congress. They are elected for stated time, and until that time is up they cannot be removed only by a long and tedious process. During all these terms the people have no voice in what is going on. The tombstone system of presi- dential -vernment, is just that. They delegate their power for four long years, and are practically out of the game, as far as the country is concerned. It has been said that if we had been under a parliament tary form of government, where the people DO rule, that we would have had no Civil or World War. But who thinks about delving in- to the cause and origin of national upsets in these degenerate days, when the movies, the radio and our subsidized chains of newspa- pers do our thinking. Who ever thinks that capital punishment is a brutal relic of the past. and should die a natural death, if for no other reason but of the fact that q large majority of the sub normal victims of the law are ei- ther partly or altogether insane. and as such are burned in tho electric chair or hung by the neck in the name of humanity.
 Here is the greatest of Labor countries in the world. Labor has no voice in the making Of the laws, has no party of its own. In Eng land tho Labor party is a fact Co be reclkoned with, in Australia the same. And 90 in France. In Amer.

ica why not? Because they say the workers have no brains or back bone, and are divided into craft unions, each one for itself, the devil for the rest. All this is be- cr'.c the American people in times of prosperity have no time to think, and as long as the band is playing and the wheels of industry are goin' 'roun' who wants to think anyway? So it would seem that depressions are good for the spir- itual and political growth of the masses for it does make tSem think about their meals and their government. If all the people of Russia had not gone hungry to- gether all at one time, there would be no Communist Russia today, and the Czar would still be the Great Father of all the Russians, but Hunger in a few months did what all the revolutionists could not do. It made the people THINK.

The new San Diego exposition commem- orative stamp hasn't made as much of an impression as did the Connecticut ter centenary issue. Personally this writer thinks that the use of the purple or lilac ink for every three-cent commemorative is getting to be monotonous as we'll as spoil ing any effects that might be obtained with the use of perhaps combination of black and red, such as characterized some of the commemorative of a few years back. We need more originality and less formality.

The well-p paid publicity agent of various state departments may be thing of the past in the next five years It is grad ually being borne into peoples minds, particularly in Connecticut that they are paying for certain services, which, while appreciated, still could be easily done with out, in these days of want. One of the prime requisites of our Connecticut gov ernment today is economy. We don't mean the economy that comes from ruthless slashing of departmental budgets, but the kind that comes after study has shown the incongruity of certain ones in the face of unemployment and starvation.

Spotting Myrna
 Myrna Looy sits by quietly and confides that she's thrilled by everything. She hadn't even vis- ited New York until few weeks ago, and this is her first trip abroad. Contract trouble. most ly," she says. 'I just walked out on 'em didn't like the picture, anyway .. grand time in New York hadn't thought of com ing to London until few hours before the ship sailed ... go back
 well. it'll be when I'm good and ready"
 I study the Loy profile, estimate that the Loy freckles average about ten to the square inch. and marvel at the Hollywood casting genius that tried to make an Ori- ental vamp out of a Montana red- head. It took her three years to convince them that she'd do bet ter in roles such as the one she had in ''The Thin Man"
 A lot of people stare at Myrna when she dances (and how she dances!) and a few come to the taDle TOT autograpnS.
 Moran More
 But there's curious contrast in personality and popularity be- tween this 1.-the, glamorous, rather shy youngster and stoutish, loud ish, fortyish Polly Moran. Polly usually is the object of her own best jokes. This night she wears shimmery black dress, and her entrance on the floor is heralded by shout that probably startles the stokers in the boiler rooms: Hello, folks! Maybe you think this is just an old beaded bag. but it's really Polly Moran"
 For five days, now, she has owned the ship. In atrocious French she wrecks the dignity of officers and stewards, and in crisp American idiom she convulses the rest of us. Giving a tip this after noon, she opened her bag with q flourish. Take this, my man," she boomed. Take this and buy yourself a snug little farm in Nor mandy"
 She had just two words for a tremendous female in a red dress who appeared on the dance floor. Polly stared, as indeed everyone was staring, then turned to us and whispered. ''Tomato surprise!" Land Ahoy
 Later-The English haven't for gotten Polly Moran of the cinema. or of vaudeville either. Ashore at Plymouth, Myrna Loy slipped away to be driven secretly into London by automobile. But Polly saw the reporters and photograph CTS, then climbed into a third-class compartment on the boat train. There was long wait and the six of us had started a rumlny game when q red-faced old porter rapped at the door and begged our collective pardon. ''We all remembers you, mum." he said. "We all knows Polly Moran. It was me as carried your luggage when you landed here in 1914. This time Q year. it was"
 "Take this. my man." said Pol- ly. 'srake this and buy yourself q little home in Cornwall" What she took from her purse wasn't . shilling. however. It looked like enough te make fair-sized down payment on a houes and lot.
