Ought To Be Decided

According to a recent item in the Waterbury Democrat operation of busses on the Waterbury -Naugatuck line has so pleased merchants in both communities that they were pressing for permanent retention of this type of service. At the Connecticut Company offices here no ln- formation had been received from head quarters in New Haven as to future plans with regard to continuation of the bus service between the two points. However the trial period will undoubtedly prove that the automotive type of equipment will be the best in the long run.
 Other than pleasing the merchants along the streets that the trolley cars previously traversed the present schedule is fine from a traffic standpoint. It is very noticeable along South Main street that the blockades which have occurred now for good many years as long trol- leys attempted to make their way up and down the thoroughfare are missing. And the street should be kept clear of trolleys, for under present conditions 1t was never intended for such traffic.
 Now is the time for the powers that be to make decision one way or another. If the trolleys are not to return our city officials ought to find out about it imme- diately so that there will be no need to lay trolley tracks across the new bridge near Washington avenue. And if the city's paving plans for 1886 call for any work along South Main street then that reas- onably could be expected to include either removal of the tracks or covering them with pavement. If the decision to make the permanent change is let go until next summer the tracks will have been prob ably laid across the bridge by that time.

Morgan On Business

J. P. Morgan is one of two dozen men supposed to run the world" So his latest utterance, as he returns from Europe, gets and deserves attention. Some of it invites discussion. "I don't think bullish market makes for pros- perity," he says, in the face of the optim- ism evident in Wall Street. Ut didn't a few years ago. At least, it didn't for me and lot of people,"
 His pessimism is natural in view of his heavy losses. Losing a couple of hun dred millions would make any of us Mis- Sourian for years and years. But his gloom comes also from two other causes, closely connected - taxes and public expenses. Anybody who makes any money in the United States is actually working eight months of the year for the government" he says, "and who is going to be able to do that indefinitely"
 This statement sends people to study ing the tax laws Anybody seems to mean anybody in the highest income tax brackets. It is hard on them, of course, paying two-thirdS or more of their in- comes in total taxes of all kinds, as MT. Hearst recently complained he was doing, and having only a few millions of profit left. Most citizens pay no income tax, federal or state, and little or no property tax, though many pay sales taxes, and all contribute invisibly, in the price of goods and service, to provide the profits where by the directly-taxed capitalists pay their taxes.
 "Everything is possible" he adds, "ex- cept that the United States nor nobody else can go on spending twice as much as it earned, for an indefinite period" That means, in the case of government, spend- ing twice as much as is collected" And of course he is right about it. For which reason, the influences tending to reduce abnormal depression expenditures of fed eral, state and local governments are wholesome.
 There are two big factors here: First, the will of public authorities, from the President down; and second, the rapidity of business recovery. Each depends on the other, and each can help the other. The thing that would help us all most effectively right now is genuine coopera- tion between government and business.

Good Talk With Food

The best part of that formal dinner of the American Wine and Food Society was that no speeches and toasts accompanied or followed the consumption of the seven courses and five wines which were served. Enjoyment of food and wine was the sole object of the dinner, the society explains, and that precludeS the usual afterdinner speaking. Only "leisurely conversation mixes we'll with wines."N
 A good many banqueters who don't know one correct sauce from another would enjoy their steak and French fried potatoes more if the customary speech making were omitted. Not everyone feels the need of roast breast of baby guinea hen and other rare and expensive deli cacies on menus. But many would be glad to help cultivate national taste for we'll cooked foods, simply and attractively served, and accompanied by leisurely conversation. That last, however, may require more education and preparation than the wine and food habits the organ ized gourmetS seek to introduce.
 Another federal problem is whether relief funds shall be used to bring home Americans now stranded abroad. Citizens who have been stranded abroad say yes.

serve basis for the retirement fund. And when it requires the State Insurance Commissioner, John c. Blackall, to point out the need of doing something about the situation, it certainly is high time for other high officials in the democratic ranks to remember their promises and to endeavor to do something with regard to stabilizing this fund.
 No doubt there will be something said about the condition at the December meeting of the teachers state association. And perhaps with the knowledge that at least a few public officials are aware of the situation and would like to see it changed serious effort will be made to inform all those who should know about it that the retirement fund is not being administered as the law demands. If the state refuses to do it's share, as recent actuarial report indicates by startling deficit, then it may be expected that teachers themselves soon will throw over the traces and refuse to be charged annu- ally for their share of the fund.

Connecticut unofficially participated recently in a fourstate conference, the subject matter of which was regional board. Problems of the area would be presented to this board which have in- terstate complications It is a good thing to take up and discuss as there are many things involving southern New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, which might be solved on the basis of a common relationship. These matters involve crime, milk control, pollution, public welfare, liquor traffic, motor vehi- cle laws, and taxation. The problems of the states in the region would be pre- sented to the board for solution. Their recommendations would then be given individual attention where it could be secured by the state, county or local au- thorities.

Don't Overlook This

Democrats may find it necessary to refresh their memory shortly if the State Teachers Association takes up the ques- tion of the teachers retirement fund. It was slightly over year ago that demo- cratic compaigners, including Governor Wilbur l.. Cross, were assuring the state that if elected to office they would see to it that the retirement fund was placed back on a reserve basis Tn fact, the general intimation was that the demo- crats were deeply grieved to learn that the republicans had allowed the fund to fall into its present condition.
 We'll, year has passed and no effort was made by those who made the prom ises to have the Legislature assure re-

Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport has scored another victory, almost as dicisiye a one as his recent conquest at the polls. He has secured the resignation of Angus P. Thorne, republican, who has been the city's Welfare Superintendent for some few years. Some time ago the Bridgeport Common Council voted to oust Thorne, who went into welfare work in Bridgeport back in 1917 with his appointment as supervisor of public charities, but the action never materialized. When Thorne became active in the rejuvenation of the republican party this year, it marked him definitely for the knife.

Privately they know that the neutrality policy is not neutral at all, but throws the full weight of the United States against Italy and with the League of Nations.
 In fact, the United States in- variably has been one step ahead of the league, and has had to wait for 1t to catch up. The policy re- ceived wide public acclaim as long as the league always caught up, but in the case of oil it hasn't. Out On the Limb
 What is not generally known is that all of these moves have been discussed in great detail be- tween the state department and the British.
 The Ickes Hull declaration against the sale of oil to Italy was no exception. The British wanted to know from us, in ad- vance, what we would do if they embargoed oil. They didn't want to be in the position merely of diverting Italian purchases to the United States.
 MT. Hull showed his good faith, and now finds himself dangling awkwardly from a limb, with some embarrassing questions sure to be asked when congress con- veneS.
 The question is how long the British-who have been talking

People with tender heart could never stand the sight of seeing so much money fed to the choppers. Yet when Uncle Sam starts distributing those pretty new dollar bills, silver certificates, he will have to retire corresponding amounts of old bills. Government chopping machines are now being primed to tear to tiny bits some $755, ,849, 177. When they're all torn and pounded to pulp, they'll be made into fresh money. Regeneration, as it were!

tContinued From Page One) 776 the following occurred:
 MT. Dimond. Will the gentlement yield?
 Samuel B Hill. I yield to the gen. tlemen from Alaska.
 MT Dimond. Is it the gentlemen's idea that the bill as drawn applies 10 Indians as well as other citizens of the United States?
 Samuel B Hill. It does. It is my opinion that aged Indians will re- ceive the same benefits as aged white people or any other aged of the United States, because the h. dians are by virtue of an Act of Congress of 1924. citizens of the United States and have the same status as any other citizen of our country. Therefore they are entit- led to the provisions of the old-age pension under this title,
 Mr Dimond. Then the striking out or the elimination of the Senate amendment with respect to Indians does not mean that this bill does not apply to Indians?
 Samuel B Hill. It does not mean that, but 1t does mean that the bill will apply to Indians, needy, aged, and that they will come under the provisions of title 1.'
 t is thus evident that Mir. Hill, who is one of the leaders of the House and as above noted one of the House Conferees on the bill, is very definitely of the opinion that h. dians are provided for in the bill the same as other citizens of the United States,
 Long before this action was talk en, Con February 6, l935) Senator Norbeck introduced a bill providing old age pensions for Indian citizens of the United States. The bill, as drawn, would give a pension of not to exceed $l day to all Indian

 attaining the age of 70 years, and who are in need of such pension. This bill was referred to the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs and on May 1. 1885, the committee report ed the bill with a number of amend ments. In one of these amend ments it was recommended that the word citizen be stricken, and the words member of any tribe now un- der the jurisdiction be sustituted therefor, so that the bill, as amend ed. would provide pension for any Indian of the half blood or more who is a member of any tribe now under the jurisdiction of the United States, etc.
 Since few of the Indians of Alaska live on reservations and since they are a part of the body polite of Al aska and are not governed in any respect through tribal organizations, doubt exists as to whether Senator Norbeck's bill if so amended will cover the Indians and Eskimos of Alaska. The Delegate has taken this matter up with the Interior De- partment and with a number of the members of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, particularly Sena- tors Thomas, Norbeck, Frazier and Donahey, requesting that suitable amendment be made to the bill so as to expressly cover the Indians and Eskimos of Alaska.
 In order to be sure that the nat ives of Alaska are covered by any such legislation, the Delegate has introduced in the House bill sim liar to Senator Norbeck's bill, but expressly providing that the Indians and Eskimos of Alaska be inClud- ed in the benefits which the bill would give. Since the Delegate is a member of the House committee on Indian Affairs, it is certain that the status of the Alaska Indians and Eskimos will be carefully con- sidered when this legislation comes up from the House. Of course it is not yet certain that the Norbeck bill will pass the senate,

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK? By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma

Col Albanus Phillips president of the Phillips Packing Company. says
 Newspaper advertising performs at least one definite vital function which newspapers themselves fail to empha size and which unfortunately too few probably realize
 "The popular conception of newspaper advertising doubtless is that represents highly effective method of creating consumer interest reasonably economical means of developing distribution and that because Of resultant vol ume increases unit costs of any given commodity are pro- portionaely reducedo both the manufacturer and the consumer.
 But of far greater importance is the Influence which newspaper advertising Weds in setting up standards o ceence and integrity Standards which every advertiser recognize and observe there sincere desire to re- main an important factor in any particular field.
 The task of making advertising making them read it, understand it. believe 1t and want it, are all primary functions of newspapers and the and women who prepare and illustrate advertising But the sixth point is the problem of the maker of the commodity And the Job of causing want the product over and over again can only be accomplished by setting standards that are consistently safeguarded.
 Newspaper advertising, by the intimacy and frequency of it's contact with readers and potential consumers must necessarily play important part in nation thoughts customs and habits Used merely vehicle of eXpolta- ton it has tremendous power But when also employed to represent standard of integrity and excellence and when these virtues are seasasty and zeaousy observed news paper advertising becomes than transient merchant dsng method and the fine heights code of honor for the advertiser and his product and perpetual safeguard for the ultimate consumer
