What of It?

State Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald warned members of the com- mittee on motor vehicles last week that if they approve reductions in the fees for registering automobiles, it will mean that no new highways can be built in this state during the next two years If we retort what of it, we do so in manner SUD- posed to be neither smart nor modern. We mean it just as it sounds. What of it? Couldn't Connecticut do without any new road-building in the next two years?
 Certainly the motorist has a right to ex- pect that his taxes be lowered when the state is proposing ways and means of al- leviating the general tax burden. This isn't done by simply shifting the load from one shoulder to the other as we have been pleased to do in the past and as many other states continually do. The way you do that in this particular instance is to lower the registration fees and at the same time jack up the tax on gasoline cent or two. In this way no loss of revenue is incurred and the motorist is kidded into the belief that actually his taxes are lower. They aren't one.bit. If anything they'll prove higher.
 We are not one to throw the monkey wrench into any program of road building that our authorities may consider, but now we want to state that we believe Con- necticut in common with all other states is living on too high standard. It's got to be lowered. We spend too much money on our government. True the taxpayers de- mand it and the officials weakly acquiesce. But sooner or later there is going to be . showdown. One of these days we are going to start to pay for the work of re- lieving the depression among millions of Americans. Add that cost to the steadily increasing ones imposed by local and state governments and the prospect IS not a pleasing one.
 We're all for lower motor taxes of every description because we believe that a step in this direction will certainly cause us to make the necessary savings in government that today eat up considerable portion of the taxpayers money and for which he gets nothing in return. The cost of govern ment is far out of proportion with other costs. Naturally taxes must mount to keep pace. You can't lower taxes by the most ingenious scheme in the world, unless the services and the things for which the taxes are collected are procured at lower fig ure. We don't believe two year mora torium in road-building would hurt Con- necticut economically or otherwise. It has been proposed in all seriousness. We wouldn't let the thought of it turn aside the need of putting registration fees on more equitable basis than they are right now.

Dr John F. Hayes

The death of Dr John F. Hayes, Water bury's oldest practicing physician and one of the city's best known residents, re- moves from the city's medical ranks the second prominent figure in a short space of time. Until his death quite recently Dr Walter l.. Barber, Sr., was Water bury's oldest physician in point of ser vice. Dr Hayes succeeded to this posi- tion for very short duration, his death occurring yesterday at St Mary's hospi- tai following a short illness. Two weeks ago he was about his duties as usual and was familiar figure, as he has been for 50 many years, in the city streets; stopping for friendly word with ac- quaintances and presenting his usual pleasant and gentlemanly manner which characterized the genial physician all dur ing his life. Perhaps one of his last ap- pearances, publicly you might say, was at the funeral of his colleague, Dr Barber. E
 Dr Hayes was man of stern princl- ples; he was an independent thinker and very firm in his convictions, politically and in other fields. He stood firm by his be- liefs, was an ardent democrat, and op- posed his closest friend or associates in support of his own beliefs and convic- tions. He was progressive and kept abreast of the times in his own profes- sion, and politically and socially; he was pronouncedly old-fashioned in that he held to an almost obsolete custom until very recent years, that is to say he drove a horse and buggy while his colleagues made their professional calls by the more modern method of automobiles. He was a brisk walker and might be seen any day hurrying through the city streets on calls
 Dr Hayes was born in this city, saw and was active in it's development. He had broad education, graduating from New York University in 1879, and fol- lowing his association with New York hospital, went abroad where he added to his medical equipment with further

Oil Control

Oil shares fell when the Supreme Court decision was announced forbidding the government control of interstate oil ship ments under blanket authority given by Congress. Possibly some of the oil pro- ducers and distributors are complaining now that the courts are hurting business. The oil industry wanted such control, be- cause it had been unable itself to regulate production, prevent waste and sustain prices. Over-drilling of wells and over production of crude has always been the bane of the business. Too much crude naturally encourages too much refining
 The court has not invalidated the prin- ciple of public control, whether by state or national government, but merely the method. It says that there is no warrant in the Constitution for Congress to give the executive department of government blanket authority to regulate oil ship ments, because that would be letting the President legslate. Presumably the mis- take can be easily remedied by congress sional act conferring specific powers. If not, the oil industry must find some way to control itself. That is the best way, if it can be done

Waterbury, Conn.
 February 21, 1885.
 Editor of The Democrat:
 There seems to be much argu- ment regarding the location of an institution for the feeble-minded. in one of our nearby towns. l take it that the good citizens of this quiet very aristocratic town are unnerved on account of the po- tentiaI proposition, which has been advocated to be erected on one of the grassy, green hills of that staid and tranquil town. It looks to me that the strenuous opposition to this needed project is un-Amcri- can. unsympathetic, unsentimental. unaltruistic and to use the distastc- full venacular, very small potatoes. These unfortunate people who would inhabit this building on ac- count of their minds being out of gear and are so divorced from reality, that 1t is impossible or dangerous to try and carry on the business and the social intercourse of life with them, should be given every possible consideration.
 You never can tell when some of the militant citizens of that town may overstep the border-line of sanity. for it is by accident or heredity. or maybe circumstances that they are not the feeble-mind- ed and the others, normal, human beings. I hope that the people of that town are not fearful that an existing condition would affect 8 disturbing condition. which may upset the mentality of the citizens Sincerely Yours, sg,- T " WALKER

PROGRESSIVE
 DISAPPOINTMENT

. The Progressive group in Con- gross, once enthusiastic boosters for Roosevelt, now suffers vary- ing degrees of disappointment, disillusionment and in some cases embitterment. They feel that their good friend has de. serted them for the Tory Demo- crats and Big Business.
 Tory Democratic leaders, on the other hand, gleefully an- nounce they have the President under control but in the same breath-when speaking privately --berate him more bitterly than any Republican. What senators like Pat Harrison of Mississippi. Cotton Ed Smith of South Caro- lima, and Tydings of Maryland say about their titufar leader in the White House resembles nothing more than. what they used to say about Herbert Hoover.
 They are chairmen of impor- tant committees, however, and Roosevelt, rightly or wrongly, feels he has to play ball With them, so their chests swell with the pride of conquest.
 Then too, a lot of senators nd congressman, both republican and democratic. always take de- light in throwing rocks at the White House. Prior to this ses-

zig-zag course from Left to Right.
 IN THE DARK
 None of these things are 50 serious that they could not be stemmed if taken in hand early enough. But, as with every President, no one likes to be harbinger of bad news, and so Roosevelt is not getting the en- tire picture.
 There was a day when he would have sensed this under current immediately. During the campaign, for instance, he had his ear to the ground every min ute. Moley, Louey Howe, and Roosevelt himself were getting hourly bulletins from every part of the country.
 But now Moley has become a wOrshipper at the. shrine of Big Business. LOuey Howe is sick and more isolated than ROosc- welt. And the President, him. self, necessarily Is aengrOsscd in the terrific strain and routine of office.
 All he hears is the raucous voice of that machine politician, James Aloysious Farley, who thinks that to win in 193C he only has to appoint an Irish democrat as postmaster and an- other as county chairman throughout the United States of America, and who already is bragging:
 "1836? Aw, it's already in the bag!"

Washington, Feb 25.-One of the tragic things about every White House incumbent is a condition which best can be summarized in the advertising slogan: "Even. his best friend won't tell him."
 No one of Presidents many friends and advisers seems ever to be quite willing to step up and tell him that he is slipping. This was particularly true of Hoov- CT; and already it is beginning to be true of one of the shrewd- est political observers ever to sit in the White House-Franklin Roosevelt.
 Within the past month there has been sickening feeling in the stOmach-pits of q host of New Dealers which told them that with the country at large their leader had lost ground.
 Despite the favorable gold de- cision from the Supreme Court, despite the definite business up- turn, this feeling has increased.
 There are several reasons for their perturbation, among the most important being:
 1. The fear that the Presi- dent, in trying to straddle both the Right and the Left, may fall in between.

of $35 an ounce. A great many
 people, unable to understand the significance of this statement, think
 MT Hoover made the statement for political purposes. They figure he is gunning for the 1886 presid0n- tial nomination. Giving such per sons the benefit of the doubt, and considering what has happened since Roosevelt assumed office, Mir Hoover doesn't look so bad by com parison. Roosevelt was given much wider latitude than Hoover or any other president for that matter, and what has he accomplished? You, dear reader, can answer for your self. If you can't, future genera tions will when they come to pay the bill.
 The political angles do not inter- est -me as much as the economic angles dc. Mir Hoover has not dis puted the right of congress to reg ulate the value of money. lie merely wants the free exchange of gold bullion to function so that countries can once more resume normal business activity. This can only be done by going back to tAA0 5OAo otahA0Aos t>Ot6 SASs's ~N"T stitutionally. has the right to reg
 ulate the value of gold at any time and at any price. The point iD question is that gold should aI- ways be free and not embargoed, At the present time gold Is val-
 ued at $35 an ounce but we are off the gold standard. If we went back on the gold standard new currency could be released against that val uation. And therefore our money stock in circulation would be tn- ] creased. Our present stock of | money in circulation is still on the old gold price of $20.67 an ounce, We have not issued the additional currency that the new price would
 allow because we are off the gold
 standard.
 \ Mir Hoover thinks we should go
 back on the gold standard at $3l
 an ounce. This does not mean that
