A Thought for Today
The Democratic Outlook

What the future holds in store for the
democratic party of Connecticut must
now be somewhat discounted by the recent
session of the General Assembly in which
democrats should have played consplcu-
GUS part, but somehow or other failed TO
do so. Naturally the House of Representa-
tives with its preponderantly g.o.p.
strength was not reckoned in this pro-
gram. The Senate was, although the
democrats only had seventeen OF the
thirty-fve members. This, however, was
two more than the republicans who ulti-
rately organized and controlled the body.
In the elective offices the democrats
controlled them all for the first time IN
wears and years from top to bottom. The
important commissionerships were about
evenly divided. BY all the laws of aver
ages they probably should have remained
divided, although there were democrats
who did not believe the republicans were
entitled to any of them SO long as the ap-
pointment was to be made by democrat
ic governor. Unfortunately confirmation
was usually required of bodies in which
the republicans controlled by strength or
by influence.
We have no fault to find with republic
can commissioners being named by a
democratic governor, although it does
nlightly resemble gesture, parting one
at that. There are those to-day who are
firmly convinced that Governor Cross
nominated prominent republicans for
prominent posts in the closing days OF
Segislating as parting gesture of deli
ence to democratic organization with
which it might truthfully be said ne is at
odds. What effect this will have on the
party in 1886 we would hesitate to say
right now.
But we do believe that Lieutenant
Governor Hayes has emerged from the
Legislative session unscathed. He was held
up to considerable criticism during the
early days when organization was at a
standstill. Later events certainly proved
that he had the right idea. Later events
also proved that State Chairman j. Fran
els Smith was justified in picking on the
three socialist senator's as he did. The So
cialists were all for Bridgeport and did
not fare half bad. 1t should be pretty OBJ
vious to-day that Mayor Hayes will be
very much the man of the hour next year,
regardless of present leadership or senti-
ment

We Honor Our Founders

It was interesting to read in last nights
edition of the Waterbury Democrat that
historical bronze markers will be placed
at spots in and around the town that will
bring to the attention of passersby the
fact that at one time such spots were the
resting places of pioneer edifices. Water
bury is unfortunate in that its rapid
growth from small town into busting
manufacturing city has been accompanied
by transformation In structural outlines.
We have few, if actually any, links with
the Waterbury of the 18th century In the
way Of public buildings.
But we are able through the pages OF
history to recall by the tablet and the in
scribed word the buildings that at one
time contributed to the advancement ot
the Waterbury of early days. Our first
houses of worship of various denomina-
tions will be recalled. Also it is possible
to designate the spot where the Farming
ton settlers who came over the hills to
make their abode in the Naugatuck val
ley made their first rough dwellings.
Some years back the Democrat editor
tally recommended such work as this be
done in anticipation of the coming ter
centenary and also as a matter of civic
pride. We are glad now that the tercen-
tenary is actually forcing us into this
enjoyable business of recalling to the
hustling throngs the fact that Waterbury's
history goes back to the early days of the
state Our heritage is mostly contained
in the history books, but what we have
we should treasure very deeply, for from
the roots that sprouted in those bygone
days the Waterbury of 1885 draws its
sustenance.

Only handful of people know

Gently was responsible for letting
valuable military contracts slip
through American fingers.
Soviet Russia attaches in the
United States had approached the
manufacturers of tanks and
bombing planes. The orders ran
into several millions, the Ameri-
can firms were enthusiastic.
A few days later, however, the
Russian agents came back to find
them suddenly lukewarm. No
concrete reason was given for
this GOODNESS. Vagu e excuses
were offered to the effect that
Russian credit would have to be
looked up, that the factories were
already busy.
'sYou understand" emphasized
the Russians, sthat this is to be
an entirely cash business?"
Nevertheless the American
firms remained a1oof. There
was good reason for this. The
State Department had stepped in
with the stipulation that Ameri-
can tanks and planes could not
be sold to Russia.
In the end, however, Russia
got both tanks and planes. She

at the rate of cents per check.
Thus the check customer pays for
his own service whether he uses 1t
or not and the bank proceeds. to
make as much money as possible
off the customers check balance.
One hundred checking accounts
in the 500 to 5000 class would
amount to minimum average ball
ance of 100 x 800 or $4,000. The
bank admits 1t can loan out 80 per
cent or $4,000 which at per cent,
charged in advance, amounts to
$4,000 per year. They also loan
out the $3.50 at per cent which
amounts to $3.50 per year or a
total of $508.80 for only one turn
over per year of the check custom-
ers $4,000.
But banks don't do business that
way. They loan that same $4,000
of the check deposits as many as
5 to 10 times a year depending on
whether things are normal or alb
normal. 1t is safe to say that at
present, they can make loans or
turnovers per year of the $4,000.
Multiplying $500 x 5 equals $40,-
000 at per cent equals $2,4OO.0 90
straight interest. Now plus $3.50 X
5 equals $4,000 interest on inter-
est or total OF $2,544.OO per year
interest on the check depositors
$4,000. The bank earns approxi-
mately 80 per cent a year on just
these 100 checking accounts.
Clearing house records show in
normal times that for every 800
worth Of checks only So Ia of
actually currency is demanded at
the same time. Thus the banks
can reloan the same money as
high as IL times and charge 6 per
cent each time. This is what Is
called the fountain pen creation

Foreign Streamlining

There's something modern in the state
of Denmark. That country, about the size
of New Jersey, is competing with Ameri-
ca in two of our three leading claims to
modernity. These two are streamlined
trains and great bridges. The Danes call
their railroad novelties lightning" trains.
They wouldn't have lightning speed with
out streamlining to minimize air resist
ance, plus the internal works that our
engineers combine with smooth outsides.
They are said to go as fast as anything in
this country. If so, the Danes are growing
lively They must be able to get from
almost anywhere in their country to almost
anywhere else in about an hour.
AS for bridges, their new viaduct from
Jutland to the island of Fuenen is said to
be the biggest on the continent, though
surpassed by some of our latest structures.
The next thing for the Danes to take up
is skyscrapers. In that field America is,
and may remain unapproachable, although
Russia is going to give us some vigorous
competition.

State Forester Austin F. Halves furn-
ished information this week that must
have been fairly evident to most out-of-
doors people. 1t was to the effect that
the 1886 season is about one week behind
that of 1884 so far as plant life is con-
cerned. Records taken il CCC camps last
year and this reveal such to be true, State
Forester Halves revealed to the press this
week. DIR. Raymond Kienholz, formerly
connected with the Connecticut Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, made the nee
essary surveys last year and this. Flower
ing and seed formation, as well as peeling
of bark in fence post operations came

It must be tough to be big city execu-

on the desk of Mayor Fiorella LaGuardio.
Since the city opened it's own Independent
subway line back in 1882 over 100000
slugs and spurious coins were put into the
turnstile machines. What a headache!
However, the authorities accept the situa-
ton calmly and consigned the slugs along
with other contraband to the bottom OF
Long Island Sound. Incidentally the city
has been losing money due to the fact that
two slim persons have been able to slip
through the turnstile with one revolution.
