A Milestone Ahead

Judging by all signs and portents the Connecticut Legislature is about to pass g measure that will give to the state it's first old age pensions. Today was set for hearings on the several bills that have been presented for passage. Only one of them had the united support of the sev- eral organizations that have manifested the most interest in this form of social legislation in recent years. This, how ever, is no proof that the legislative conl- mittee will approve it. Strange things happen at these hearings.
 But the state does anticipate that the matter will be reported favorably to the House and Senate in some form. What that form will be for the moment we can- not say. It seems fair to assume, though, that it will be adequate relief for those who are qualified to receive it.. It is not necessary, we presume, to call attention to the fact that 28 states are eligible for federal aid in financing old age pensions. There is no reason why Connecticut should not join this list.
 True the cost of financing any old age pension plan is something to make even the most blase of legislators pause. It is a hefty item to add to the budget of a state that anticipates deficit by 1857 that may be close to $30,000,0O0. As a matter of strict fact such system as this state might adopt would not impose addi- tional burdens upon us. Through eliml- nation of most of those agencies which now endeavor to do what the pension would do the cost of the pension system is saved.
 The voice of this paper has always been added to those asking for this form of social legislation We believe that now the hour is at hand when success seems nigh we should think more of the proper means of making such pensions reach those individuals who are really proper subjects for them. This is not pork bar rel into which many hands may be thrust. It is trust that the state will admins ter in behalf of deserving citizens who have seen better days, who merit aid in their old age.

Travesty On Justice?

The Hauptmann trial is over, the great est legal side show the state of New Jersey has ever run and probably ever will run. We hold no briefs with the decision of the jury nor the sentence imposed by Judge Trenchard. It is not our purpose to enter into any lengthy Gas it certainly would bel discussion of the merits of the case of the condemned prisoner or that brought against him by the state. We're merely concerned with the exhibition that was called trial.
 Spectacular isn't quite the word to de- scribe the trial. It was all of that and then some more. Perhaps we shouldn't find fault with what transpired down there in Pennington. When international fame descends on small town overnight, it is apt to bulge at certain points. We don't suppose that Bruno Hauptmann could have been tried under any different circumstances than those which have regaled the world for the past few weeks.
 We believe that some of the officials connected with the case were earnest and sincere in their efforts to conduct it as it should be, no different from the hundred and one others that may come before the proper tribunal for settlement. But when you see and read of seats being bartered for all sorts of favors; when you know, that to many this trial was, not one on which mans life depended, but one that would furnish the curious and morbid with an extra thrill or two, then you get to wondering about trial by jury.
 The mockery continued right up to 10:30 o'clock last night when the Asso- ciated Press threw accuracy and reliability to the four winds in it's haste to have every radio in the land blare forth the news that Hauptmann had been convicted, but that mercy had been recommended by the jury in the form of life imprisonment. Mechanical error" or not, it was just another link in the chain of events that has made many a man blush for shame for our peculiarly developed talent of add ing lustre to the lurid murder trial

Tax Rebellion Due

We hope that the United States does not find itself plunged into tax war in the next ten year period. If all the predic- tions came true, she would be. There is gradually forming in the minds of the army of taxpayers the very fixed idea that they are being taxed out of propor- tion to their ability to pay. And if this idea is ever put into action, we are apt to find the duly-constituted forces of law and order getting scant consideration from those who believe their overthrow a move to get lower taxes.
 The tax rebellion may take another an- gle. It may result simply in refusal upon the part of delinquent taxpayers to settle up their accounts. They may steal . leaf from the book of the debt-defaut- ing nations of Europe. But mark well this the taxpayers of the nation are slowly becoming conscious of the fact that they are being imposed upon. They are forced to pay duplicate taxes to several branches of government. Their tax money is used for different purposes than that for which it is raised
 This last offense is known as tax di- version. It means diverting taxes raised by levies on gasoline, for example, for such purposes as building state hospital The hospital may be an urgent need; it's construction is justified; but is use of funds raised by taxation of gasoline per- missible for such a highly exemplary purpose? The answer is 1fo even thou- sand times no, if you want it. When tax ation of motor vehicles has reached the point where revenue allows diversion, then it's time the motorist got break in lower tax.
 The federal gasoline tax is always di- verted. It was never earmarked for highway use. Begun as temporary measure it still is one means adopted to help balance the federal budget. Do you know that in 1884 with only a one-cent federal gas tax $17O, 1O9, ,269. .19 was raised? The preceding year the tax was one cent and half, yet the revenue was only eleven million greater. And this is only one of the several taxes on motor vehicles Uncle Sam collects. Others are oil, tires, tubes, motor cars, trucks, motorcycles, parts, and accessories.
 We contend that when a motor car owner is also a property taxpayer, he is < pressed to make both ends meet. Don't get the idea that we picture the average man in the United States groveling in the dirt under tremendous pack of taxes. The picture isn't quite so drab, but it's drab enough when owners of homes lose houses they built and into which they put loving care and money. That can't be blamed entirely on taxes. but they are d 1eavy factor. The day that VIC grade government costs downward will be the day that the taxpayer comes into his own.

 All the old log-rolling groups which once raised tariff rates to the monumental peak of the Smoot- Hawley Act are on tho make again.
 Illinois congressman are howl ing about Hull's proposed treaty with Switzerland which might reduce the tariff on watches. Pennsylvania congressman are nervous about Hulrs treatw with Belgium which might lower tar- ifs on cement and glass.

Vienna Letter
BY STEWART BROWN

Vienna (UP)-Commissioned to
 find a new automobile route to China, Max Reisch, young Aus trian Marco Polo" will leave
 here soon on a 13,000-mile expe-
 dition to Peipihg, China, through Turkey, Persia, Iraq, Afghanistan and India.
 Reisch, who already has three
 major expeditions to his credits al-
 though he is only 24, expects to find almost insurmountable hard
 ships and difficulties. Backed by Auto Clubs He goes with the knowledge he is backed by the English Automo- bile Association and the Austrian Touring Club, both of which are interested in opening up a new automobile route to China.
 Much of his way through Asia must be picked through trackless deserts infested with bandits, he
 said. Before he leaves he will be
 vaccinated six times for variouG
 Asiatic plaques.
 The Anai touches are being put to his car in an Austrian factory. The machine will be equipped
 with short-wave sending and receiving radio set. The tanks will be specially constructed to carry enough fuel for a cruising radius
 of about 1000 miles. Through
 many of the countries which Reisch will travel there are on gasoline stations.
 Toughest Stretch The most difficult stretch of the
 journey will be from Beirut. Through Arabia Reisch does not expect to find many marked roads
 and through northern India much of his way will have to be cut through forests and jungles. once he gets to China he will encounter the Gobi Desert, believed by
 many to be the cradle of civiliza- ton. His route, Reisch said. is not definitely charted because much depends upon conditions. When there are no routes, he will pro- ceed over unknown and almost
 dnmapped territory.
 The young Austrian adventurer
 already is well known in Austria Two years ago he. crossed the Sahara Desert on motorcycle. tI.ast year he went with the same motorcycle from Vienna to Bom-
 bay, a distance of about 5000
 miles.

LETTING GEORGE U. s. DO IT
(Meriden Journal.)

Bristol would like to have the
 federal government take over the
 job of eliminating Doolittle's rail-
 road grade crossing, where Meri-
 den motorist lost his life recently. The five-pronged death trap has
 presented job for the city, state
 and railroad for many years, while the city@-went in lavishly for parks and playgronnds and the state for
 more and better roads, and now comes a chance to put the load on Uncle Sam as a made-work. prop0-
 sition.
 Bristol would let George do it. George in this instance being the Taxpayers of the country. But Bris- tol Is justified. Somewhere down south 8 public improvement that
 has been needed and ignored for
 many years will be- carried through by Washington with the Bristol
 taxpayers chipping iu with their
 share of the expense.
 As long us federal revenue ard
 credit hold out, towns will get nice
 things that they felt too poor to
 buy and they VIII Do lucky if tho cost of naintenance fin many cases does not prove too much for them.

It's hard to believe that 10000 elm trees have already fallen prey to the dread Dutch elm disease, but it's so. And that's only in three states, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. Right now eff forts are centered on 50 mile zone of which New York city is the middle point. Federal funds have been made available and state agencies are becoming inter- ested Only by such general cooperation can we hope to conquer this disease by isolating it and then removing it. We don't want to see our state despoiled of it's beautiful elms. Interest yourself to the extent of writing your legislators to interest themselves.

When Governor Cross replied to repub- lican legislative leaders, demands for spe- cific ways of cutting governmental costs he included in the several proposed elim- nations that of the office of coroner, ex- cept in Hartford. The duties of the cor oner would be transferred to the State Police Department. He also asked for return of merit system, so as to insure the permanent employment of state em- poyes. It recalled the late Governor Baldwin's efforts to put this sys- tenn into the state government. Governor Baldwin was no sooner out of office than the republicans had thrown out the merit or civil service plan. It has never re- turned, but if Governor Cross had his way it would Now that there are three par ties in the Capitol it's good time to put in the Civil Service.

A Book, a Day
@' .'fN .''sHa Phil Stong Leaves ;. Iowa For New York ! By BRUCE CAPTION

Phil Stong leaves the placid Iowa countryside behind him in Week End" and. taking deep breath, plunges breast-deep into the turbid pool of New York sophis tication; and the results, viewed from safe angle on the bank, are not altogether happy.
 What we get here is a somewhat tangled story about a little group of New Workers who are putting in week end in Connecticut. AS is usual with such books, the yarn Is unwound with suitable over- tones of lechery and drunkenness. and there is q good deal of that semi hard boiled conver s u o n without which no sophisticated novel Is complete; but in the end the story doesn't seem to get you much of anywhere.
 The young lady who Is throw ing the house party in question has reached her thirties with out either getting married or departing from the straight and narrow path of virginal innocence. and she feels that 1t Is high time that she does one or the other.
 But the house party Is Q pretty complicated affair. with with a host of sub-surface Jealousies, passions and such, and nothing turns out quite as people expect 1t Ito. Our hostess gets her wish, but winds up in arms other than those she had chosen in advance. and in the geral re ?shuffling prac- tically everybody get a new part ner.
 While it is all told with MT Stong's ingratiating and easy-to- read facility, you finish 1t with the feeling that you haven't read very much after all. | Published by sarcourt, Brace and Co. the book sells ats$2.

DELINQUENT TAX xINTEREsT
 Hartford Timesl


 Lieutenant-Gov Hayes, who is also mayor of Waterbury, is not alone in wishing that persons who become unavOidably or otherwise delinquent in the payment of their taxes might be forgiven the accu- mulated interest if they are able 70 make payment within a certain period. It is painfully true that the burden of unpaid taxes Is acutely increased by the addition of interest charges.
 And yet it Is very doubtful that leniency in regard to interest addi- tons would solve the problem. Postponement of tax payments brings thcm that much nearer to the next ax date. Any form of leniency which would promote postponement~ of payment, would tend to increase the number who permit their taxes to lag. The suD- sequent anguish would be prOpor- tlonately intensified.
 Experience seems to show that rewaeo, such as Q discount for prompt payment, is much better than ieniency with reference to de- linquency. Human nature needs help on its will-power side, not on | the side of its weakness which ilirts with postponement.
 It can be agreed freely that in many instances property owners are in q sorry plight with respect to taxes but 1t also would be found, we believe, that in large pre- | portion of those cases where the money was found for past-due pay- ments, q larger measure of fOre- thought might have avoided the delinquency. Eliminating the iri- terest charge on unpaid taxes would not stimulate forethought in such cases.
 Any method or system which tends to cultivate the habit of post ponement, is bad, whereas any in- ducemcnt which promotes prompt l payment is to be favored. Interest charges are intended to be among those inducements.

 Montor) We planted spruce trees down a curve of hill TO shield our apples from the clumsy hand Of late September wind. We set band Of Scotch pine with our spruces. Now on still Warm nights in mid-July our thoughts may travel To the cool tang of mountanly forests. Here one might surprise delicate footed deer Or watch a bronze-hued partridge rise and level In startled flight. Here in the lengthening cold When the snow deepens softly feather by feather our eyes may rest green. Tn any weather We own the look of woods, dark -meshed, to fold About our throats the gloom, the mottled
 shadows Of balsam woods to screen these drowsy
