Republican leaders, and there are said
TO be more than one of them having some
thing to say about it, are of the opinion
that John M. Burial is the best candidate
to oppose Mayor Frank Hayes at the ap-
preaching city election. A formal state
ment to the effect that Mr.. Burial would
be the candidate was forthcoming yester-
day with the usual after effects. Proml-
rient among them was the claim that Mr..
Burralps recent appointment as Deputy
Republican Registrar of Voters was
build-up for his candidacy for the NOM
nation.
On the other hand it might be advanced
that the candidate-to-be is sure of some
success whatever the outcome of the Oc-
tober election. He will stand his chances
of defeating Mayor Hayes, which must be
regarded as slim any way you look at It,
In the event of failure then he simply re-
tains his present post as Deputy Registrar,
which surely wasn't given him only to be
denied because he failed to do what other
republicans before him couldn't do.
The announcement that Mr.. Burial
will be the candidate sort of makes one
wonder what has happened to that plous
espousal of open party primaries of which
we have read so much in the republican
press of the city the last month or so. 1t
would seem as if the republicans of the
city are no believers in the business OF
sponsoring a fight for every place on the
ticket. When the candidate for mayor can
be announced even before the date for the
primaries is set, there is pretty good evil
dence Of hand-picked slate. And that's
not the kind of politics we want in Water
bury, SO the American-Republican informs
the public.
Personally no one can find fault with
Mr.. Burial. And no one will, probably.
Perhaps someone might wonder that he
accepted the call to run this year after
turning it down on several former occas-
ions. It can't be that he subscrbes to the
theory that Mayor Hayes's strength at the
polls has been lessened by the violent and
vicious attacks on him and his admins
tration. People will wonder what brought
about reversal of opinion on the part of
the candidate-to-be. Such wonderment is
apt to turn to belief that dictated NOM
nation Is expected to do what the will OF
the people won't do

Huge Cost Coming

It isn't q very encouraging picture that
DR.. Charles G. Chakerian, editor of Con-
necticut Social Trends, an ERA publica-
ton, points with regard to the expansion
of government aid. Only two ways pro-
vide an outlet for the future, he claims.
They are control Of population and stabil-
ization of the economic order. That COW
ers q multitude of sins and we don't know
Just how DR.. Chakerian would 60 about
stabilizing the economic order in the face
of the upheavals 1t is presently under
going.
As to che facts that the editor points
out as threatening mankind's future, we
have said In substance the same thing for
some time. And that is not taking credit
away from DR.. Chakerian and piling it on
our own shoulders. All far-seeing indi-
viduals are wondering just how we are
going to pay for the new order of things
that the depression has given to us. Con-
necticut Social Trends points out the fact
that in addition to the costs of the depres-
sion we have those of administering old
age relief and unemployment insurance,
q tremendous financial undertaking not
only in his estimation but in many mems,
The recently enacted Security Act of
Congress estimated that in 1916 $4500,-
100000 would be spent by the federal gov
eminent on old age relief and assistance.
DR.. Chakerian terms the figure as slight
compared to what the cost ultimately will
be. He claims that right now in this state
half of the population is dependent upon
the other half for its existence. He ex-
poets this figure to increase as high as a
rs per cent dependency Alarming? 1t
certainly is. It demands the attention of
everyone of us. We need not accept the
Chakerian methods of solution, but must
be prepared to share a tremendous re-
sponsibility.

Small Orders

Dignity and Importance are being re-
stored to small transactions by the de-
precision There was time in the BOOM
ing years when business men scoffed at
small deals or small customers. Today,
most concerns would rather have 100
orders for 500 each than one order for
$4,000. They realize that lot of small,
regular profits make for more lasting
prosperity than an occasional big profit,
although the latter is not to be declined.
According to the magazine, Steel,
genrous proportion of that industry's i'm
provement in recent months has come
from steel sold through jobbers' ware
houses. That means that there have been
many small orders from many different
customers, which taken separately could
not have been efficiently handled by the
big mills. Something like 10 buyers go
to the jobbers' warehouses for their needs
to one who purchases directly from the
steel mill.
If this tendency is found in other lines
and it seems to be - it is good sign OF
directly from the steel mill.
If this tendency is found in other lines
and it seems to be - it is good sign OF
returning business and industrial sanity.
1t indicates convalescence from some OF
our delusions of grandeur.

Federation and other critics point out its
basic unfairness. Il taxes too heavily the
poor and the moderately well off and
touches proportionately lightly the in
Games of the wealthy.
Any group planning an organized drive
against the sales tax would do construc-
tive work, useful to the whole public, if it
made that drive educational The nation
needs to face it's tax situation squarely,
to recognize how much revenue is needed,
and to consider honestly how that may be
raised. Also, the public has got to pay its
bills. Everybody must contribute a share.
The problem is to find the taxes by which
every citizen may pay just share, accord
ing to his means. A thorough considera-
ton of different forms of taxation is just
as important for the common citizen
right now as is technical study Of the sit
uation by state and national lawmakers.

Selected Poem
LITTLE HOUSE ON THE HILL

(Beryl Netherclift In The Christian Science
Montor)
A little house stands empty on the HILL
No sound disturbs its peace; road runs by.
Only the rivers voice, now heard, now still.
And the slim birches, white against the sky.
A gate there is, held fast by brier and thorn;
Since when the latch was lifted man knows.
AT the loose casement-frames March winds have
torn
And the brown thatch has sagged meath winter
SHOWS.
But here the thrush sings sweetly like child,
And the first cuckoo calls at break of days.
Strange flowers here-prim garden blooms
Wild
And the small wood-folk scamper at their play.
To lift the spell that lonely years have thrown?
The rivers song, the sky, the birches' grgace-
Have you wish to make these all your own?
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1935-08-22

Although there seems to be some belief
in the state that Senator Augustine
Lonergan will successfully block the NOM
ination of Thomas S. Smith for Internal
Revenue Collector in the Senate, there is
a cross section of opinion that must be
respected. This opinion is that the NOM
ination will be through and that Senator
Lonergan will not interpose any objec-
tons. And those who join in this belief
declare that the nomination would never
have been sent in by President Roosevelt
had there been any chance of it being held
up on the eve of Congress adjourning.
There's good reasoning behind this. On
the other hand there's the thought that
the Hartford mans name might have been
sent up just to be knocked down for good
If he fails now it would be easy to say
he'd had his chance and missed, so some
body else should next get the chance.

MIR. PAPE UNDERSTANDS
THE INTELLIGENCE OF
THE PEOPLE OF
WATERBURY


Waterbury, Conn,
Aug. Fl, 1895.
Editor Of The Democrat:
In giving over so much of the
space In the two pro-republican
papers to the scandalizing of his
neighbor, and In picturing laborers
who because they stop for air are
the subject for his sneerlng critic
ism of the city administration, Mr..
Pape Is unfair to the public who
buy these papers for legitimate
news.
To those who know the type of
character hired by Pape to prowl
around corners and spy on city
employees, little credence Is given
for this cheap information, and
any person Of ordinary intelligence
knows that in the course of a day
at laborious work every human be-
Ing SO employed would naturally
stop long enough to permit a sneak
to snap his picture.
Mr.. Pape has been blest with
more than his share of this world s
goods, but instead Of thanking the
Lord, he hurls his defiance by re-
fusing to keep His Commandments
sacred. Remember: The Lord
giveth, and the Lord taketh away.
Calumny and SANDER seem to be
favorite pastime with him. He
should stop in his madness and
look back at his childhood days
when like Little Lord Fountleroy
he attended the little Liverpool
Sunday school, and ask himself by
what right he dares to bear
false witness against his neighbor.
II he Is 30 interested In pictures
perhaps he would like to see a new
collection, including his own EN-.
ployes lined UP at central bar, or
one Of Tacky Finn standing on q
street corner for hours waiting for
something to happen. Or better
still one Of himself fumigating the
post Office with that Juicy Sher-
lock Holmes pipe.
Yes, Mr.. Pape, you are wasting
time and space knocking Mayor
Hayes who has been elected three
times mayor by popular acclaim
and who's outstanding record as a
MAN has placed him in q state Of
fice as lieutenant governor.
