these counties was $2s. .463. 1868, besides
some millions Of tax anticipation war
rants. In 1884, after two years of
relief expenditures. all tax warrants
had been paid of and the bonded
debt reduced to $26,392.023.
Per Capita Tax Cut.
In 1882. the last year Of Democratic
administration, the total tax levy,
State and local. was $67.35 per capita.
In 1885 it is s525 per capita. in addi-
ton to which there has been marked
reduction in public debt.
AS an indication Of the extent OF
tax reduction, automobile license fees
have been cut in half. Not single
tax rate has been increased, although
on some levies-notably on gasoline
and cigarettes-State receipts have
largely increased due to more strict
enforcement and the wiping out Of
bootleggers. In 1882. $78,262 was de-
rived from the cigarette tax. In 1884,
with no increase in rates. revenue
from this source jumped to $384,762.
Gov. Landon would be the first to
tell you that he is not responsible
alone for these economies. Democratic
legislators, he says, co-operated whole
heartedly In adopting necessary legis-
lation, and a multitude of local off,
cials, Republicans and Democrats, did
some 80 per cent Of the job of put
ting economies into effect. 1t was the
Governor, however, who conceived the
program and obtained passage of legis-
lation forcing its adoption. He dared
to take on his own shoulders the onus
Of decreasing salaries and perquisites.
Sets Economy Example.
Above all, Gov Landon set the
economy example and he holds that
President in Washington, if so minded,
could extend the same example to the
taxing authorities Of the whole Ma
ton. He'd like very much to try
what could be done in that direction.
Gov. Landon is 48 years old, square
shouldered and well built. There is
nothing conspicuous about his ap-
pearance His solid figure, square fea-
lures and rather stolid manner are
indicative of his Pennsylvania Dutch
ancestry. His eyes, behind heavy
glasses, have slight sQuint, but his
gaze is direct and earnest.
ALT M. Landon was born at West

in 1882, Mr.. Landon slipped in by a
slim margin of 5000 votes, largely be-
cause DR.. John r. Brinkley. an Inde-
pendent. split his opposition. Two
years later, after Gov. Landon had cut
every governmental salary or per-
quisite, State and local, to the bone, he
beat single Democratic opponent by
$4,000. almost equaling the margin of
victory attained by Mr.. Roosevelt in
the State in 1882.
The striking thing about Gov. Lon
don's economy is that it reaches coun-
ties, cities and townships, as well as
direct State expenditures. One of his
first acts was to propose the cash
basis law" which forbidS any official
in Kansas to spend more than the
money he actually has in the till. 1t
wiped out at one stroke the old sys-
tenn OF tax anticipation warrants by
which politicians have been wont TO
pass financial problems on to their
successors il Office. 1t forced local
units to pay off some S1l 100000 of
outstanding warrants.
Next came the tax limitation act
which set definite limits. in terms Of
mills per 500 of property valuation
on local taxes for specific purposes
and an overall limit beyond which
taxing agencies could not go. The
act required advance publication Of
budgets and hearings OF complaints.
State Expenditures SIas;ied.
Gov. Landon set the economy pace
by slashing State expenditures. Salary
cuts were imposed, ranging from 5
per cent on persons receiving sl00 a
month, to 25 per cent on the Gov
ernor's own $4,000 stipend. Upkeep
of every State institution was reduced,
including the Governors Mansion
The economies reached even to the
allowance of shoe laces for prisoners
at the State Penitentiary.
Under Kansas law, adopted before
Gov. Landon's time. the State is for
hidden to appropriate money for poor
relief. That burden. fails on the coun-
ties, and the Governor decreed they
should carry it by economies rather
than by new taxes. The most star
ting fact of all. perhaps, is that Kan
sas counties have borne 81 per cent
Of the whole unemployment relief ex-
penditure while at the same time re-
ducing both taxes and bonded debt.
In 1929. before the relief problem
arose, Kansas counties we're levying a
total of s19.534252 in direct taxes.
In 1885 they levied sl7,452864 in
taxes. including the unemployment
relief cost.

to mix with his fellow men and plays
a mild game of poker. In difference to
the legally dry State of Kansas, he
has been a total abstainer since he
assumed the governorship. He fought
hard In 1884, when he was running
for Governor, to keep Kansas dry, but
he is tolerant In his views on the
liquor question, as with all other mat
ters. There is no touch of the fanatic
anywhere in his makeup.
Gov. Landon, his associates say, Is
worth about half a million dollars.
His wife possesses fortune OF several
hundred thousands. Some question
has been raised as TO whether his oil
connections would provide an argu-
ment against his election to the presi-
dency. The answer is that he always
has been an independent, combining
himself to basic oil production. II
anything, his business has been of a
character to make him antagonlStic to

tional distributors. These companies

Congrats In Order

Certainly Waterbury's tercentenary commission, which is headed by John r. Elton, deserves every bit of praise that can be extended to it merely on account of it's preliminary announcement of the citys participation in the coming state celebration. Included in the list of events in which this city will participate are all those that might have occurred to any, body who was really interested in what Waterbury might do as it's share of the 300th anniversary observance.
 Waterbury has mushroomed into such a large industrial center that it has not really had the time or opportunity in it's growing stage to devote to preservation of such landmarks as linked it with the days of the 17th century when Pennington settlers walked over to the Naugatuck valley and built few houses. It is un- fortunate, of course, but what we have we offer to the state for what it is worth. What we lack we will make up for in other ways.
 Certainly one of them will be our industrial exhibit, which in it's way, can be an entire show in itself. Next we are attracted to the plan to mark historical spots in and around the city. Offhand the average man couldn't name even one, but recourse to our histories will show there is plenty of opportunity in this field. Also we speak of it, because it is some thing that the Waterbury Democrat has { proposed, encouraged, and pleaded for in the past quite apart from it's connection with the tercentenary observance.
 A colonial village is to be built, replica of what might have actually stood where our modern buildings now rest. This is something we can all appreciate and which >1. Al ~A nc 4hN ysrS+< thousands of whom are expected to visit us this year. In addition to the industrial exhibit one of historical nature is also planned for the Mattatuck Museum. Then there will be great outdoor mass meeting with speeches, songs, etc. The prospect is alluring. Cooperation spells success

Shorter Trials

Contrary to the pessimistic view, the human race does learn from experience, although slowly. The legal battle which has ragged more than a month in the old court house in Bennington, N. J., has set in motion criticisms and constructive sug- gestions which may eventually improve criminal trial methods.
 It is said that the trial has been cost ing the state of New Jersey $1,O00 day for salaries, fees and hotel bills. It does not cover the amounts spent by New Jer- sey, New York and Federal authorities in their long labors of preparation before the trial. /t.
 For while it was thought that the trial might go on considerably longer than it has, increasing the total expenses every day it proceeded. Now critics are asking whether it would not be possible to attain the ends of justice in less time, week or two apiece for prosecution and defense. This would not be with the idea of curtail- ing any important testimony, but merely to prevent needless repetition, stalling and posing. 'A.

Makers Of History

Waterbury has just lost by death two prominent citizens who contributed in great part to it's history of the last half century. We doubt if any account of the everyday events of Waterbury as it pro- gressed from the small but bustling mill town of the late 70's and sos to the big industrial city of 1885 could be complete without some reference to Kate Wood ward Noble and Dr Walter l.. Barber, Sr. In their own respective professions they labored long and faithfully, each achiev- ing definite niche.
 Dr Barber was actively engaged in the practice of medicine in this city for over half a century. He was our real veteran in length of service. Mrs Noble by virtue of her more than 39 years service with the Waterbury American takes rank as the oldest newspaper woman in Connecti- cut. Investigation might show her rank ing to extend even beyond the state. In such lengthy periods of endeavor as this any man or any woman is bound to become local history. Certainly the two, whom death has just removed from our midst gained place.
 We need add no encomiums to those already given. We do not want to voice trite expressions or ones that might have been used to describe the lives and careers of others who have gone before them. Suf- flee it for us to say that Waterbury will do well to remember these departed ones as members of that delightful company of old timers who came out of past of old lavender and lace into a present of chromium and steel with colors flying, marching along as sturdily and cour- ageously as those born to the modern era.

The Critics Are Flushing

When a genius sets out to have little joke, the joke is apt to be so profound that no one but it's perpetrator even knows about it. Consider the joke of Fritz Kreisler, famous violinist. For 30 years Mir Kreisler has been playing compost tions supposed to have been written by various old-time masters in the world of music.
 His programs credited them to such composers as Vivaldi, Couperin, and others, and gave MT Kreisler credit merely for arranging them. Learned critics oc- casionally remarked that MT Kreisler, in editing these pieces, did not follow the original as well as he might have; others complimented him for Interpreting the true spirit of the composer. But now it develops that MT Kreisler wrote them all himself For 30 years he has had joke on the critics and no one would have known it if he had not, at last, admitted it himself.

A Book a Day
Makes Elmer Gantry Look Like A Saint
By BRUCE CATION

There are corners of human so- ciety so dark and repulsive that we get shock whenever a man comes along with torch to H. lumine them. Erskine Caldwell is a novelist who carries a torch into such places; and his newest book, "Journeyman," will give you very bad half hour If you are in the least squeamish.
 MT Caldwell takes us to re- mote poor-white settlement in Georgia and shows us the arrival of wandering preacher; and this Ianky evangelist, is 0 chap who makes Elmer Gantry look like St Thomas Aquinas.
 He is a prodigious drinker, suck ing up the hill-billies' corn liquor like so much water; he is tnor- dinately lecherous; he is sly, scheming, avaricious rogue in every sense of the word--but when he conducts his revival meeting he is full of fire and birthstone, and he is, for the moment, in his own peculiar way. sincere. So he makes a deep impression on the natives. He doesn't even try to receive them about his fond- ness for women and drink; he swindles and abuses them without mercy; but he gives them a pow erful camp meeting, and when he leaves they blink fistfully at his departing fiivver and wish he would come back.
 Mir Caldwell tells this dank tale
 with diaboiic skill. He gets his material from almost sub-humar levels; but he writes with such an odd mixture of objective detach- ment and ghoulish humor that he is completely convincing. n l Published in a. special edition by Viking, the book sells at S4.60.
