It's>a question whether or not we should regard the appointment of Raymond F. Gates as commandant of Fitch's Home at Noroton as a political move or not. MT Gates has been for a good many years the State Agent, position that has long been regarded as a choice one. His term of off, flee expired this year and there were quite few humors prior to the day or the or- ganization of the State Senate that he would not be reappointed, the inference, quite plain one, too, being that some good democrat would get the job. What with the republicans organizing the Sen ate it would seem as if MT Gates job as State Agent should have been safe for a: least four more years. Yet he resigns to take the soldiers home position, open since Colonel William H. Welch died If we wanted to be annoying, we might point out to those editors who were crying Ideal, deal" from the housetops some few weeks back their continued pious ex- clamations.

General Douglas MacArthur wants to emulate Mussolin. He is asking for a reserve armed force of 100000 youths to be drawn from our CCC camps. That was the cry set up by pacifists when the CCC was mobiized. It died out quickly when the boys began to accomplish things. It has not occurred since But the Army Chief of Staff gives the boys something to talk about with his military training for 100000 youths who would be available to fill gaps in the regular army in an emergency. Would you train 'em with rifles or with gas masks, General?

ers' protection.
 The other was the idea that Wallace and TugweIl have re- tained any real power in the New Deal.
 Tugwell, at the time this hap pened, was on one of his fre- quent vacations--this time in Florida. He has been on vaca- ton almost constantly ever since hfs gruelling before the Senate agricultural committee last sum- mer. Simultaneously with his vacations, Tugwell has aban- doned his old crusades. He has even reversed himself on grades and standards. His spirit is no longer in the New Deal. Perhaps this is because the New Deal has changed. He is now chiefly chair warmer, marking time.
 Almost equally disspirited is Henry Wallace. Lacking the pugnaciousness of his friend Harold Ickes, he has sat and watched his original ideals dis torted beyond recognition.
 Wallace admits privately the failure of the New Deal to be a New Deal for labor, to rcdis- tribute wealth, to decrease real unemployment, to increase pur- chasing power.
 Reminded of this by some of the young AAA friends who were goading him into action, he said:
 "I know 1t. I suppose I'm not built for this. I'd rather get -away-out' under tree and think"
 Tine left wing of the New Deal lias now crumbled.

 Administrations Crumbl Wih Prgnng Lberas AAA Oung

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-02-11

Washington, Feb 11-Prob- ably the ''purging" of the AAA is the most significant thing that has hit the Roosevelt Adminis- tration.
 It was not so much the num- bcr of personalities of the men who were placed before the of- ficial firing squad, but the prin- ciples they were fighting for.
 The inside story goes back to the earliest days of the New Deal-the days when the idcn of crop limitation was first dcvcl- Oped. At that time 1t was de- cided that the rights of three . groups within the National must be rcspectcd-thc farmer, the consuming public, and the pro- cessOrs who acted as middicmen between them.
 It was proclaimed the duty Of the AAA to get a fair deal and d reasonable price for all three.
 But soon 1t became apparent that a large profit was the lot of the processors, a much lesser amount was trickling down to the farmers, while the consum- ing public was paying the bill.
 Against this, certain members of the Consumers Counsel--an organization set up for consum- CT protection within the AAA-- objected vigorously. Jerome Frank, crusading head of the AAA legal division, and Rex Tugwell, Brain Trust under-sec- rctary. supported them in this So also did Henry Wallace. "PUBLIC-BE-DAMNED" A bitter cleavage developed within the AAA. A large group, among them Chester Davis, Ad- ministrator of the AAA, leaned toward the big processors, adopt cd q "public-be-damned" policy toward the consumer. 4
 T1,e result was compromise, at times stagnatlOn.
 When the tobacco marketing agreement came up, Wallace took 1t to the White House, pointed out 1t gave tremendous benefits to the big tobacco com panies, gave relatively little to the tobacco farmer. The prcsi- dent replied:
 Were fighting on too many fronts, Henry. Let's yield on this for three months and then revise it."
 But when the three months expired, no revision was shade.
 When the marketing agree ment for meat-packing came up, AAA liberals insisted upon the right to inspect the packers books. Wallace supported them. But in the end, the packers re- fused 10 sign an agreement.

Good VIII On The Road

The Holiday season is a peculiar

more than passive interest that the

the necessity of courtesy in driving
as an accident preventive measure.
Driving at speeds reasonable for
conditions, sharing the road, pass

which make driving dangerous and

To The Average Man

This is addressed to men Of av-
erage means who have been sub
jected to the widespread fallacy
that the rich pay, or should pay
practicallyNall of the taxes, and that
the Door and moderately Well-to-do
receive, or should receive, the bene-
fits of government for reXt to moth
ing.
Here are two facts for you to
think over:
Eighty per cent of all taxes in
this nation are "hidden"-that is,
they represent part of the cost of
articles and services, and must be
paid by the consumer.
The total net taxable incOme-not
taxes paid-Of all American corpOr-
ations in 1888, was $2,509, ,000, ,00G
The total net taxable income Of
persons with net incomes in excess
of $4,000 was 4,000,000.000. This
makes a total of $1,000, 100000. The
tctal cost Of government, federal,
state and local, was $15,50O .C0O.09
in 1888. Result: If the government
had cOnfiscated the entire taxable
income of all Operations and all
individuals with a net income of $5.-
OG0 or more, there would have re-
mained a tax bill Of $4,000, 100000 10
be paid by persons and businesses
outside Of these classificatiOns. The
fact that the tax hill was not paid
in that year, much Of it being added
to the public debt. makes no differ
ence-a day Of reckoning must come
eventually, whether we or our chill
dren face II.
The small-salaried man, the small
investor, the labOrer, the little bus-
mess Owner-these are the people
who pay the major part Of the cost
of government. The price of a loaf
Of bread, for instance, includes the
cost of. 5S separate taxes, from the
time the seed of grain is planted to
when the finished, wrapped loaf
reaches you. So IT goes with cloth
ing, light, tObaccO-every luxury
and necessity you use. Indirect tax
alton Is one Of the largest items IN
the cost of living and doing husi-
ness.
You - the average man - wnnld
thus be the greatest beneficiary
from a tax reduction program that
really got results.

When The Moneys All
Spent
washington Post)

What viii happen when all the
money has been spent?
Discussion Of the work relief pro-
gram almost invariably leads to this
query. It Is utterly impossible for
the Government to continue spend
ing $4,000, ,000, 900 per year, or any
thing approaching that amount, to
create jobs Of a petty character,
without going bankrupt. A halt to
the pace set hy WPA must be called.
What, then, will the Administration
do with the millions Of jobless men
who have been taught to believe that
they have d right to a living wage
from the Federal Treasury?
Several millions are certain to be
destitute when the spending spree Is
over. After several months Of boom
doggling will they submissively re-
vert to doles more in keeping with
the ability Of governmental units to
nav? In any way that the problem
may be viewed. It is likely to pro-
duce a crisis Of a grave national
character.

mention these as types OF
what may be hoped for. 1t is, of
course. obvious that this sort of
development will be slow. AL
ready chemists are working on
various possible uses to which
plant grOwths can be put. For
years Mr.. Ford has had men
studying means of developing a
rubberOid fabric that can be
grown in this country in compe-
titiOn with imported rubber. Pa
per makers are studying the pos
sibilities of using new plants for
pulp. In these directions obvious
ly lie great possibilities. They
can help provide good income for
the farmers and perhaps offer op-
pOrtunities for greater diversifi-
cation.
In theory, of course, these de-
devOpments should be cOOrdinated
by a government agency and the
new crops allotted to different re-
giOns in exchange for the reduc-
ton of current production of
staples which, for the moment,
are produced in excess.
But this in fact is as unwOrk-
able as il is in theory undesirable.
Crop control is only jistifiable as
an emergency measure. Other
wise it leads to regimentatiOn and
a planned which, as
already made clear in these ar
ticles, implies the substitution of
European dictatorial system for
American democracy.
What can the Republican party
do about all this?
Face frankly the fact that crop
control and benefit payments are
measures which can
not be continued indefinitely. The
present danger is that, through
fear of losing votes, the Republi-
cans will acquiesce quietly in the
aspects Of the A. A. A.
program in the hope that they
will thus avoid ineurring the re-
sentiment of the benefited farm
ers. This is OpportUnism not
craftsmanship.
But such a course will not sat
isfy the farmers. Many of them
known in their hearts that the
A. A. A. is fundamentally a mis-
taken policy. They are, of course,
glad to receive the government
checks and they welcome the
higher prices which are due in
part to the A. A. A. but largely
in certain regions to the drought.
But they expect of the Repub-
leans something more than mere
condemnation Of the A. A. A. They
want to know the alternative, and
10 understand what benefits it
to the farmers.
This is one of the Republican
eaders' most difficult problems
o solve. AS yet no adequate pro-
DOsals have been made. But the
Ong view clearly points to the
necessity of developing new in
luctrial uses of farm products
nd of pressing on towards lower
.osts of production and of dis
ribution of foods, so as to stimu-
ate increased rather than lessen
d consumption.
Finally comes the whole ques-
ion of regaining foreign markets.
his is so complicated that l shall
