Walk Outside Fulton Park Sug.
 gcsted As Worthwhile
Editor. Waterbury Democrat:

] Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Now is the time for ali good men to put in their requests for con- structive work to be handled by the governmental agencies in It's inten- sive drive to promote employment.
 Le me offer a suggestion, if ! may.
 No doubt there are countless
 thousands in this town as well as numerous visitors who are ex- tremely grateful to the memory of that generous citizen, MT Fulton, who gave us that splendid park called after his name. It is rather a loathsome sight to ride along the entire length of this beautiful park and find that unfinished crude line which represents an apology for a sidewalk to complete the picture. It reminds me of the unfinished symphony, The pedestrian cannot enjoy the beauty of the foliage and shrubbery because there is no place he can walk without stubbing q toe or knocking off the "Blue Jays and this of course usually precludes him from membership in a well known society which sponsors nothing but the best there Is in the national language.
 Why couldn't the Park Depart-
 ment in conjunction with the Street Department or the Federal agencies take hold of this worth
 while project and finish a job that is well started? It certainly Is
 som ething that would last for de- cades. It Is the least the City
 might contribute as its share of this noble contribution. It is only fair that people should have ai, opportunity to walk on the right ful place for pedestrians. Here is a goal that the overlook Cottage Park Club might work for if they are interested in the physical well fare of their community. am sure a wore from your paper would be mighty helpful too in securing this needed benefit to an admirable beneficence.

submitted to President Roosevelt for his approval. When approved by him it must be voted upon at a popular election in the Philip pines sometime in 1895. A Philip pine commonwealth government will immediately be set up, and ten years from the final ratification of the Constitution the Philippines will be given complete indepen- dence. The act calls for the with- drawai of all United States miii- tary forces in the islands after in- dependence, and provides for a conference on naval bases.

Selected Poem
THE WALK HOME.

(HeIene s. Pulse in The New York Times) had thought could take the road back Past the same spruce, past the same pine Walk to my house with track for track, Point for point, in a lengthening line. But that cannot be: have looked at flower Till 1t burned my brain like a bown-on coal; have thumbed pebble thoughtful hour, Envied robin and praised mole. Never 1 pass the same tree twice: Never I see two times one face, Be 1t glowing hearth pool turned ice; There's revisiting mind place. Now 1 go onward into the dark That light that seeps my window sill Is unpredicted as any spark That ever shot from a burning mill.

Washington, Jan 11.-There has been Q lot of speculation as to why Secretary of the Interior Ickes, branded as a fighter for the people, should be fin the weird position of gunning for Robert Moses, New York park commissioner, also branded as Q fighter for the people.
 The inside, though carefully guarded, fact is that Ickes is merely acting as trigger man." It was he who issued the order, in effect, that Mayor LaGuardia could get no more PWA money for New York's Triborough bridge or for other Public Works projects until Park Commission CT Bob Moses was removed.
 Actually, the order came from the White House.
 For although the president usually is the friendliest person in the world, he happens to be nursing q vendetta against Bob Moses which not only is vitriolic but of long standing.
 BANK INVESTIGATOR
 There was a day when Roose- welt, then governor of New York, appointed Moses on commis- sion to investigate the failure of the City Trust company. This was on the recommendation Of Herbert Lehman. Moses did a bang up job and secured the conviction of Frank Warder, head of the New York Bank Department.
 Also, he reported that the Bank of United states was in n bad way, recommended that something be done about 1t. Roosevelt indicated that he would appoint Moses on a new legislative commission to clean up the entire banking situation.
 But about that time the Roosevelt feud with Al Smith reached a climax. Moses sided with Al, had been one of his closest advisers. Bob Is a sort of bull in q china-shop, fearless, uncontrollable, irreverent re- garding whose toes he steps on.
 Roosevelt didn't like him and apparently could not forgive him.
 Basil O'Connor, Roosevelt's law partner, came to Moses and asked if he would not decline appointment on the banking commission if the governor made the gesture of offering 1t. Moses told him where to get off.
 So the appointment never came. Henry Pollak was ap- pointed instead-and later inc dicted. The program Moses outlined was not carried out. As he predicted, the Bank of United States crashed.
 Still the vendetta continues. LaGuaFdla will get no more PWA money until Moses Is re- moved as park commissioner.
 And the irony of 1t is that Bob Moses found Al Smith lined up against him, supporting

If Connecticut should go in for sales taxes this spring there is one thing that must be avoided bogus tax collectors. New York city is overrun with them now. Merchants are being mulcted of sums of money. Men claiming to be tax agents call on various establishments, demand the sales tax receipts. Then they simply procure their refunds on the lat ter from the city. A system like this can always be exploited at the beginning. In time all such loopholes are plugged. We could take warning from the failings of others.

Representative J. H. Hoeppel of Cali fornia has an idea that there may be lot of workers in this nation displaced by 'labor-saving machinery. And he is quite sure that if Congress would appro- priate $100,000 during it's present session to conduct survey of the nations indus tries to find out about this displacement, something actually could be done about unemployment. At that it isn't the hair brained scheme it might seem offhand. From time to time we hear about the benefits of modern-day machinery, but how many times do you hear about the number of men that have been displaced in industry by these same efficient pieces of mechanism. Some data along this line would be valuable. Representative Hoep- pei ought to push his demand for sur vey, much as we're getting to hate the word

President Roosevelt's budget message sees no hope for reduction of any mater ial size in the public debt. According to- him it's going to rise to new all-time high of thirty-four billions. If Uncle Sam continues to be as generous in his relief expenditures as in the past few years we must expect this. And it's going to mean mighty wrench to cut off these wholesale grants Wait till it actually comes and hear the howls.

Office of the Bureau. It is their job to receive. schedules from enumerators iH the field who have interviewed farmers for the Census of Agriculture.
 To-day their job Is to kill time. One man is reading the newspaper. A group of four are playing poker. Over in. the corner two more are matching pennies.
 They check in at nine, kill time until twelve-thirty, so out for lunch until one, then kill time until four-thirty,, when they check out.
 The Chief of the Field Divi- sion knows all about 1t, but he can't help 1t. William L. Aus- tin, director of the census, also can't help 1t.
 The trouble lies in the delay in making appointments for dis- trict supervisors and enumera- tors throughout the country. Austin announced that enume era ton should begin on November IS in the northwest, where win- ter comes early. He began to take on clerks to record the new data.
 But the data has not come in.
 The appointments have been delayed by the Louey Howes, the Dan Ropers, by state and dis trict wrangles and all the others who want 8 hand in the pie. Even now, when the census Is supposed to be in full swing throughout the country, one- third of the district supervisors are not yet appointed.
 MERRY-GO.ROUND
 South Carolina's retiring Gov ernor 1. c. Blackwood is in dan ger of losing the federal job that has been promised him. De- spite the fact that he attended Attorney General Cummings re- cent anti-crime conference, Blackwood is closing his term with a flood of pardons, releas- ing to date morer than 200 pris- oners. Washington authorities are viewing his antics with open disapproval .. Honest Vic" Donahey, Ohio's new democratic senator, was quite a spectacle when he marched down the aisle on the opening day of congress to take the oath of office. He was attired in a smart-fitting frock coat, striped trousers, wing collar and in his jaw was q large cud of tobacco which he chewed with great industry {. The unexpected ease with which the administration put through the drastic gag rule in the House was due largely to a careful strategy. Following the elec- tion of Joe Byrns as speaker, the popular Tennessean rose and moved that the new rule be approved. Having just made him their leader "the boys" could not repudiate him by fighting his proposal. It went through with few objections.

able to persuade just one of those three socialists to cast a ballot once for the democratic candidate for clerk. If it was the candidate, that certainly must have been discussed in conferences between leaders prior to and during the prolonged deadlock. We cannot help but feel that the democrats frittered away a golden opportunity. They control the several state offices from the governorship down. They certainly should have controlled the Senate, all things being equal.
 We presume that the so-called "old guard" show of strength at the early Sem ate caucus will be referred to with great show of indignation by the critics. Per haps it did lose the democrats all chances of organizing the Senate. But if so, then seventeen senators were wrong from start to end. And the same result pre- vailed when Senator Raymond J. Devlin ran for president pro tenn, although he, unlike Senator Hagearty and ex-senator Cooney, was not participant in the Sem ate ideals" of 1883.
 There will be plenty of hot language about the manner in which Governor Cross flayed his own partymen at mo- ment when it was vital that unity should prevail. The sole moral that we can take from this little drama that has just been enacted is one of standing together. So long as the democrats allow internal dis cord to work it's way into their ranks they must expect just such rebuffs as they ex- perienced Thursday. It's got to be the party, first, last, and always, for political success. If perchance this is a leaf out of the republican book, as written by Pro- lessor Roraback, we would only change it's reading to permit of government of this state that takes into account the people.

 LUCKY LUNCHERS
 Because they can eat for ten minutes longer than other fed- eral workers, employees of the Government Printing Office are extremely grateful to Mrs Roose- welt.
 It happened through a mis- take. The First Lady, due to dedicate the Mothers Day Stamp at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, got her buildings mixed up and showed up in- stead at the government print ing office.
 It was 11:3O. The first shift were pouring out for lunch. Mrs Roosevelt got into the tide, was buffcted and almost knocked over.
 She asked a girl why they were hurrying.
 We've got 10 be back In half an hour and the cafeteria's crowded" -...
 Later, Mrs Roosevelt talked the matter over with George H. Car ter, then public printer. Shortly, an announcement was circulated giving all workers 40 instead of 30 minutes for lunch. CENSUS sTAGNATION

The Farmer-Labor Education
al Bureau now takes a shot at the
Minneapolis Journal for raising
a "Red Scare during the Min
neapolis mayorality campaign be-
tween Langum and Van Lear 10
years ago.
Files of the Minnesota Advo-
cate for 1925, during which that
paper was the chief Farmer-La-
Dor mouthpiece, prove that the
Farmer-Labor party was itself in
the heat of alarm over the spread
of communism in Farmer-Labor
party official ranks.
The party up to that time had
existed under the title Farmer
Labor Federation. In 1925 a
convention was called of FL
delegates, held in St. Paul. The
delegates were carefully selected
so as to exclude communists and
the declared purpose of the con-
vention was to form a new order
excluding communists. The
Ramsey County FL Federation
committee was one of various
county committees which was
openly accused of being control.
led by communist officers. Anc
these officers put up a vigorous
fight against their exclusion from
that convention.
The convention formed a new
political order and adopted the
name for it of Farmer-Labor AS
ISOLATION. Floyd B. Olson wa:
one of the delegates and was one
of a committee of three which
drew up the constitution for tht
Farmer-Labor Association.

self with the activities of the
Reds. Neither was the FL As
ISOLATION nine years ago when its
birth was brought about by the
Red Scare. The FL Education
al Bureau, however, is short
memoried and declares now that
the Journals concern was piffle.
The truth is that the chief ex-
ecutive F-Laborite was a Red
I. w. w. 10 years ago. His part
in drawing the anti-red provi-
sions of the FL Associations
constitution was no doubt with
his fingers crossed. That action
fixed him prominently in the con-
fidence of the inner circles of the
growing Farmer-Labor activities
from which vantage he has been
busily boring from within" for
the advancement of communism.
Having climbed to the leadership
of the party and the governor

in openly promoting communism
to whose support he has won the
party's official organ and the

Bureau.
