Job For Army Engineers

Consider the case of the Engineering Corps of the United States Army. For 100 years that body has been ''on trial" and has only this summer received per- manent assignment to direct the rivers and harbors improvements of this coun- try. The Corps has been doing the work all this time, very satisfactorily, but year after year it has received only temporary authorization in the annual rivers and har- bors bills.
 The 1885 Rivers and Harbors Act changes this situation. It provides that hereafter Federal investigation and im- provements of rivers and harbors and other waterways shall be under the juris- diction and shall be prosecuted by the War Department under the direction of the Secretary of War and the supervision of the chief of engineers" Thus, at last, Congress recognizes 'the skill and integ- rity of the engineering officers of the army demonstrated by century of remarkable achievement in river and harbor develop ment and flood control" Fortunately, not all tributes and commentators are withheld so long.

get direction on October IS. The President explained his action by stating that the peak of the emergency had passed and that it was time to reduce all special admins trative expenses by stopping overlapping work, cutting personnel and yielding knife on all extravaganza. .E
 From now on it will be necessary for the 20 agencies to explain their organization and justify their estimates of expenses by proving every item to be indispensable. The director and experts of the budget de- pertinent will study the structure and operation of these agencies and centralize, their control. The savings to be effected may be small in proportion to the billions the government is spending. The big gain is the application of the budget method to such work, putting it all on thoroughly businesslike basis. It is procedure which seems entirely wise.

Homegrown potatoes for consumption on the family table won't be subject to the new tax that goes into effect on and after December 1. And those property owners who manage to produce a few tubers in the backyard needn't worry about any inspectors cutting down on their crop production. Secretary of Az riculture Henry Wallace has just relieved our minds Only the commercial grow CTS will be subject to the new AAA limita- tions, which, to say the very least, are restrictive. You can't sell beyond your allotment without paying a 45 cents bushel tax. And the excess must go into closed containers on which the tax stamps are placed. Thus bumper crops will prob ably be in order next year, for Mother Nature has way of thwarting all these efforts to control crops so that prices may likewise be affected.

What's the Answer?

A round-table discussion of "The Flu ture of the Property Tax' will be held at Providence, R. l., later in this month. It is being staged under the auspices of the New England State Tax Officials Asso- citation. Our own State Tax Commission CT, William H. Hackett, will preside at the first days session. While the general pub- lie might find the discussions a bit too technical or involved for their consump- tion, there will be plenty of reader in- terest into the newspaper accounts of the various remarks of speakers.
 No topic can vie with taxes in holding public interest. Right here in Connecti- cut we are vitally concerned at the mo- ment with the subject of taxation. It was of prime importance during the spring session of our Legislature, but for some unknown reason failed to get the proper attention. We had presented to our As sembly tax program calculated to cor rect all existing evils in the system and to relieve the burdens being placed on certain classes of taxpayers It failed of passage as planned
 If we were to be asked right now what we thought of the future of the property tax we would say that it is extremely shaky. There are indications on every hand that property eventually must yield it's place as the most prolific source of all local taxes. It is, ot course, unfortunate that the cost of government has been mounting at such rapid rate of recent years, but then we are demanding more services of the state and must expect to pay for them.
 We have tapped new sources of revenue in the last year or so; there are more au- tomobiles being operated on our high ways; liquor is being manufactured and consumed. All of which promises good returns to the taxing units. But we fail to recognize the need of cleaning house in these same taxing units. We have too many of them. We allow antiquated lev ies to be imposed. We need to become economy conscious in government before taxes are stretched to the breaking point and the great mass of taxpayers involved in struggle that may pit friend against friend.

A Good Week-End

The past weekend was a welcome change from the blood-spattered ones that have marked the end of summer along our state highways. Not one deatn was recorded in motor accident: How ever, that does not give us any cause TOT rejoicing. Jubilation over such a grim business as keeping men, women, and chll- dren, who venture forth in motor cars, alive is hardly in good taste. Perhaps we should congratulate our drivers on the extra precautions that must have been adopted to prevent continuation of the reign of blood and horror.
 Not in recent years have the various forces concentrated on campaign to end motor accidents, such as the present one. It is challenge to speeding in modern motor cars along superb roadways. And yet figures very often prove that 1t isn't the modern car with it's ability to attain high rates of speed that is involved in fatal crash. And quite frequently it isn't the narrow or curvy highway which is liberaEv marked with crosses to indicate where fatal accidents have occurred. On the contrary it's the broad new highway.
 Everything imaginable has been blamed for the outbreak of accidents on Connec- ticut roads. The roads themselves were blamed, although as we said above ma- jority of them occurred on modern roads, broad, smooth, and devoid of dangerous curves. In most cases the cause for acci- dents can actually be traced to operation. Something occurs that for the moment makes the driver unable to control the vehicle he or she operates. After we have made our roads as safety proof as possible the next thing is to concentrate on the ears themselves. We then step to the case of the driver. That's the procedure. We have taken two of the steps in Connecti- cut. We should continue to the third.

Residents of communities that utilize rivers for sewage system Repositories are beginning to file complaints against such tactics. Willimantic leads the way with a group of citizens protesting the action of the town in dumping raw sewage into the Natchaug river which flows through part of the town. It's creating nuisance, according to the protest. It certainly is doing even more than that. And most town and city officials are aware of this fact. Yet it is surprising to see how little action is taken by some places in the mat ter of correcting the situation.

any way dictate to, the religious in- stitutions and beliefs. This explains the seeming paradox that fascism, which pits itself forward as essen tially religious movement, dis closes itself in practice as su- preme denial of religious liberty, whereas Communism, which has a negative attitude towards religion, is the only social movement today that releases religion from all arti- ficia1 constraints and regulations, from the denial of freedom" (The Communist, April, 1885, page 350.)
 I conclude by repeating that the only way for the workers to achieve real liberty, real freedom, for a re- alization of all the things of which they now dream; to realize all the good things of life, is through a united front of all workers. in the building of a broad united WORK FRS AND FARMERS PARTY, A LABOR PARTY, which will lead and point the way to a real work ers'e and farmers government, a Soviet Government, under which the capitalists would be eliminated and the workers would rule su- preme.

'NOTA BENE SAYS AMERICAN WRITER IS LICKED BOTH LEGALLY AND SPIRITUALLY
 Waterbury. Conn.
 4.< ,,. Sept. 8, 1885.

Editor of The Democrat:
 I am a peruser of all the Wa terbury newspapers, and politically speaking, The American is the most nonsensical. The morning Republican is immaterial. I base my supposition on the psycholog- ical maxim that night time is the proper time for sleep. I guess their political staff is half asleep during the night??
 I read the following statement in the Americans "Voice of the People" In reference to Mayor Hayes the writer stated: We have elected the most interruptions politician you can find in Amer ica." Now MT. Writer, don't you realize that you have committed actual slander? Don't you know that jurisprudence proceedings can be brought against you? If were you, (and I'm offering you free legal advice), I'd retract that slanderous remark at the earliest possible moment. I said moment and not minute.
 Also, If Mayor Hayes wants to be mean and cantankerous, he can make you, legally speaking, swallow your unscrupulous statc- ment. Mir. Writer, this is a critical and serious matter. But, then again, Hayes holds no malice to- wards political foes. It's. a good thing he considers politics a strange bedfellow.
 would advise you to look up Saint Matthew, Chapter 19, verse IS and 19, which read: "'Thou shalt not bear false witness. and Thou shalt love thy neighbor as myself" So you see,. MT. Writer, you're licked legally and spirit ually. You owe Mir. Hayes either an apology or a written retraction.
 In conclusion, be good sport and don't hit below the belt again. Don't be a modern Judas! Enough said!
 Yours sincerely.

Selected Poem
EVENING IN AUTUMN

EVENING IN AUTUMN (B Y. Williams in the Christian Science Monitor) Bittersweet tumbles Over the stone wall;
 Sumacs ahame light the fringe of the
 wood; Down by the roadway Gold tents and scarlet
 Clean in proud where the maple
 trees stood. Slow tawny cattle Cross the low brooklet,
 Pause for a drink then pursue their
 calm way. Scent of orchard Creak of wagon. !. Clint of star mark the closing of day. Deeper the shadows -.A Milktime IS over,
 Here come the bright pails all foamy and
 white. Now in the meadows Myriads of frefiies
 Light their small lanterns against the
 dark night.
