Echo His Sentiments

Clifford Pinchot in letter to the editor
of this paper laments the proposal recent
w brought forward at Washington that
control of our national forests be vested
in the Department of Interior. At present
the Department of Agriculture has charge
of them and is doing rather credltable
Job of it. This idea is contained in the
plan to create new federal department
of conservation and public works in place
of the Interior Department. 1t comes
from Secretary Ickes who has so much
work on his hands now that we fail to
understand why he wants any more.
Mr.. Pinchot, a former governor OF
Pennsylvania and in his time leading
exponent of conservation points out how
when the Interior Department actually
had control of the nations forest it blund-
cred through it's work. But with the
transfer of such control to the Depart
ment of Agriculture progress was made
That was thirty years ago and in this
period our national forest have been get
ting such care and attention as would
naturally come from the Department OF
Agriculture AS Mr.. Pinchot himself
says, "Wood is crop Forestry is tree
farming. 1t belongs in the Department OF
Agriculture with all other farming and
production from the soil.
Arthur Newton Pack, speaking for the
American Nature Association, says there
in no connection between such public
works as bridges and highways and the
conservation of natural resources. He
also makes the point that at present our
conservation measures are split up among
three federal departments and that GER
tain amount of lost motion inevitably re-
suits. Most citizens will probably agree
that ell conservation efforts should be
grouped under one management That this
should be bureau whose business is pub
lie works is just bit illogical.

Won't Upset The State

The decisions rendered by Judge Frank
P. McEvoy in the superior court here
this week need not cause any undue alarm
over the status of the new state liquor
control act nor the powers of the commits
sion to enforce it. The law itself remains
unaffected by the decisions. However,
failure of the law or the commission to
cover certain phases of control in the eyes
of the light does not constitute any excuse
to force those operating under the old law
to 60 out Of business, even if temporarily
A Norwich tavern keeper, whose permit
expired in the so-called twilight period"
secured an injunction to prevent the COM
mission from closing his establishment
until such time as he might have filed ap-
plication for a permit under the new law
and it had been granted Dissolution of
this injunction, asked by the commission,
was not granted. Failure Of the Legisla-
ture to provide for such a contingency
ms that now existing should not count
against the innocent tavern keeper, rules
the court.
The same holds true in the case of the
package store owners who sought to re-
main open in the period between July l
and July %, when their new permits
would be issued. Inasmuch as the new
liquor laws went into effect on July /, it
is hard to see why any liquor distributor
should be penalized for failure of the law
to provide for every emergency. If the
lawmakers did not realize that certain
permittees might suffer as a result of ex-
piration of licenses in the twilight
period, then it surely was not intended
that the permittee should suffer the hard
ship of temporary closing of his business.

or mountainside that we may carve to
suit the fancy or artistic taste of some one
individual or group. The retort might be
that we are perpetuating nature in our
national and state parks. Quite so, but we
should not stop with what we have done.
When nation as advanced in civilization
as ours can let species of wild life be ex-
terminated or allow forces of nature to re-
move varieties of tree and plant life, we
cannot claim complete success
Picking on the Black Hill monument as
a means of complaining about federal dis
bursement of funds may be small pota-
toes, but there are many who feel the same
way, although silent on the subject. They
would probably complain, too, about the
way we spend millions on roads that are
engineering triumphs yet contribute little
to the education or enlightenment of man
kind. Less money spent along these lines
might meet with opposition from certain
sources, but not the average taxpayer.

Guaranteed Incomes

"All present redistribution of wealth
programs don't go far enough" insists a
leader of one of the various third par
ties" eve propose to raise the American
standard of living from it's present condi-
ton of poverty to point where every
family will be guaranteed return of at
least $1,000 year" That is good mark
to shoot at, while we're all struggling to-
ward the millennium. The average Ameri-
can income today is considerably below
$4,000 year, and there are many million
families who haven't $500 year unless
they get it from private charity or public
relief.
But guaranteeing such an income is an
other matter. How can we guarantee ST.
500 year, or any other comfortable fig
ure, unless we plunge straight into State
Socialism, with the government eliminat-
ing private profit and taking hold of all
industry, trade and agriculture, not to-
mention the professions? Even then the
guarantee would probably be empty words.
Communist Russia has been in the game
for good many years now, and is very
far from attaining any such ideal.
The Technocrats have talked glibly of
giving every man, woman and child the
equivalent per year of what $4,000 in
come would buy now, if we strapped pri-
vate industry and the profit system and
let engineers run the country. 1t may be
theoretically possible, but is not practical
now, and we don't know about the future.
All we can do at present is to make the
best of our system, modifying it little by
little in the direction of greater fairness
and generosity, using more intelligence
and public spirit in business relationships,
trying to moderate private selfishness in
all classes, and behaving in general more
like civilized beings and less like dozen
men on raft at sea struggling over
handful of biscuit.

Monumental Masterpiece

We noticed by the papers last week that
federal funds are to be made available for
the Mount Rushmore memorial project out
in the Black Hills of South Dakota This
is the work on which Gutzon Borglum has
spent 80 much effort and time BY ex-
ecutive order last year President Franklin
ID. Roosevelt placed the work on the
mountain under the National Park Serv-
ice, since the huge rock and surrounding
territory are to be part of the national
park system.
OF recent years 1t has occurred to this
writer that monuments of such magnitude
as this one in the Black Hills never really
come up to expectations. True the sculp-
tor or the architect will be hailed for
few years, but even in time his name will
be forgotten and fifty years hence II the
rocks are still preserved with their stone
faces tourists may have trouble in finding
out who the designer was or what the pur-
poae Of the whole thing was.

welt and Woodrow Wilson. to crop

against President Hoover.
News reports in the last few days
have brought into the open SIM
liar circulation of rumors purport-
ing to deal with the physical con-
dition and the mental stability of
President Roosevelt. These have
been promptly labeled absurd by
Washington correspondents, includ-
ing those Of Observation-Disclosures pa
pers, who have opportunity to ques-
ton and observe the president at
least twice a week.
However heartily one may dis
agree with a man on question of
political judgment, 1t is certainly
a graceless business to be led by
this to impugn his nationality in
stead of arguing out the issues on
their merits. Those who insist upon
the grandeur of man and the SUI
premacy of mental powers over
evil circumstance should surely
disbelieve that eventual disaster
must eventually follow an infirmity
long since overcome. And those
who recognize the mesmeric ten
dency of reiterated fears, suspicious
and drak predictions ought cer-
tainly to be the last to lend them
selves to a mass suggestion that
would add to the burdens Of their
chief magistrate.
Rather is it the true part of all
citizens to pray that divine support

round all officials in whose hands

"Rumor," wrote Shakespeare, sis
a pipe blown by surmises, peal
ousies, conjectures." So one or an
other of American presidents have
found, and that an evil report how
ever baselessly set afioat, is hard
to overtake with fact. A whisper
ing campaign" of slanderous or in
sinuating stories passed from a
loose tongue to suspicious ear
and often enlarged in repetition
has been recurrent abuse in AM

The injustice and tragedy that
can be wrought by such irrespon-
sible and malicious gossiping was
exemplifled poignantly enough, one
would think, in one Of its first in

generally held to have cost the life

Press Comment
SHOPPING IN wHATIsITs
(Meriden. Journal)

The New Britain Herald spots a
mercenary motive behind the
familiar squawk from resort towns
against scantily clad girls appear
ing on the streets. The complaint
is more in the interest of bath
house proprietors than modesty, in
the editorial opinion, which de-
clares, "In non-beach towns like
New Britain, Hartford and Water
bury matters are different. Nobody
cares whether a girl is in shorts or
whatisit, SO long as she is minding
her own business"
But nobody knows whether the
inland towns, which include Meri-
den, would object If the girls
tramped around in shorts,or what's
its, because they don't do it. Ina

Waited costume, along the lines of

dustry has no bearing on the is
sue. The girls are not going swim
ming. They are shopping or cho-
colate-soda-i as noted In Winsted
when citizens complained that
maids from the camps snarled traf-
fic up there and caused business to
suspend. In some of our shore
towns right now, the boys can't
keep their minds on the fishing and
are wearing themselves out speed
ing between bathing beaches and
town streets in order not to miss

Cardboard boxes are blamed by oldtime
storekeepers for the vanishing American
whittier. Down Georgia way they are
pretty outspoken about this state of af-
fairs. In the old days wooden boxes were
used almost entirely to ship goods. Now
adays the corrugated cardboard box is in
common usage. And the sage of the
pocket-knife no longer gets a chance to
draw the blade slowly across piece of
whiting. However, the general store
whittier was never in it with the one who
followed his trade in private. The latter
was the one who turned out canes, watch
charms, ships, and hundreds of other OBJ
jects; the former just whitfield stick UNI

The young winds sport among the grasses,
The green rye heads are silvered by the sun:
Skillfully the ploughman guides his horses
Making the clean. straight burrows one by one.
The whole wide world is full of quiet wonder
Heaven and earth alike are very fair:
A shimmering light all tremulous and radiant
Folds the green fields and holds the suniit air.

And on the trees II rests a shining crown:
The little daisies simmer while the trefoii
Wears all the sunshine as yellow gown.

Fairest OF flowers In all these fowerlands,
You run toward me. golden curis ahying,
Gold buttercups In both your tiny hands.
