Congressman J. Joseph Smith, candidate for reelection on the dem ocratic ticket in the fifth Connec- ticut district, will not go on the air over WATR tonight as origi- nally planned. His next radio ad- dress will take place Sunday even ing at 6:30 over the Voice of Wa terbury. His subject has not yet been chosen.
 Asked whether any act of the Roosevelt administration could be satisfactory to the liberal gentle man of Kansas" MT. Smith, in last nights address over WATR pointed out what he believes to be the benefits of the social security act passed by the present admin istration. He declared that one of the latest attacks on the Roose- welt administration issuing from leading. republican candidates is aimed at the social security legis- lation, that is, the laws sponsored by. the democratic leadership to provide a nationwide system ef. un- employment insurance, old age as sistance and other measures for the aid of the blind. the aged, the crip- pied children and child welfare services as we'll as services to pro- mote the health of mothers and children. <

Ad- mittedly it will take him and ex perience to perfect them but if these laws were to be handed over to be administered by man and his as- sociates who find no good in them, what can the worker and the ordin- ary man and woman hope for. the future?" {s

Ia representative of the company came to the O,Donnell house with the drivers last check, but said that there was money due the com pany, and had the check made over to him. In return, the friends say, the family received a total of $9.89 as O'Donnell's last pay check.
 Wallet Taken
 The family has still received no information on O'Dennell's wallet; believed to have been stolen from his pocket at the scene of the crash, or his badge, which was ripped from his cap, apparently by souv- enir hunter.
 The explanation of Charles Chap man, general manager of the Con- necticut Company for this district, was discounted by the family's friends. They said. that last week Ernest Bossel, a company official, called at the ODonnel home with the drivers last check. He is said to have kept the check in his possession and to have ex- plained that there was money due the company. He then had meln- Der of the family make the check back to the company, and he would then give the family $9.89 in cash. This was done.
 Name Posted
 Later, it was found that the Wa terbury hospital had $15 which had been found in O'Donnells clothing. A member of the family secured the money, and voluntarily informed the Connecticut Company, the friends say. They emphasized that this transaction came after the visit to the O'Donnell home. The money at the hospital was kept by the family.
 The day after the accident, it is said, O'Dannell's name was posted at the Connecticut Company on a bulletin board as one of those hav- ing shortages.

of the crop land which formerly
has been producing soil depicting
crops be diverted into soil building
crops for the proper maintenance
of soil fertility. This committee of
representative farmers considered
these recommendation advisable
in relation to the program for the
readjustment of our farming prac-
tices and the better balancing of
production of our major crops.
Later in the summer the soil con-
servation program was offered to
farmers under the direction of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture, and the recommendation
of the county program planning
committee conceded very closely
with the plans of this new agricul-
tural program of the Federal Gov
ernment. When the legume seed
distribution survey is made this
fall, therefore, it will be interest
ing to observe the acreage which
has been planted this past year,
and no doubt these figures will
show an increase in the acreage of
not only pasture and hay crops,
but also of those crops seeded for
soil Improvement purposes. Of the
various legumes grown in Kent
county, these surveys have shown
that scarlet clover is of outstand-
ing Importance and heads the list
of acres being seeded to this group
of farm crops, while alfalfa and
lespedeza rank second in acreage
Many farmers in Kent county seed
ed these legumes this past year in
connection with the soil conserva-
tion program, and in all probability
greater number will participate
in the 1887 program which will be
announced within a few weeks.

Something To Think About!

Delaware wage earnerS are
beginning to realize what it
will mean to them to pay the
social security taxes. 'They
can understand it." says the
Wilmington. Journal Every
Evening, because the money
will be taken out of their pay
envelopes. 1t will be | per
cent of their salaries or wages
beginning in January. 1t will
gradually increase until it be-
comes 3 per cent-quite an
item. More than that, there
will be the exactly CORE
spending taxes which the en-
ployers Of these workers will
have to pay into the retire
ment fund. So workers and
employers together ultimately
will have to pay a combined
total of 6 per cent of pay rolls
into that one fund. Still on
top of that, the employers
alone will have to pay an ulti-
mate total of another 3 per
cent of pay rolls into the un-
employment insurance fund.
All of this, it is beginning to
be realized, will be a heavy
burden upon the employe and
employer too. 1t will mean
lessened chances for advances
in wages and salaries in the
future. 1t will mean lessened
chances for jobs for those
now out of work. 1t will mean
further increases in the cost
of living.
"And all Of this means
something else, something
tremendously important. Mr..
Roosevelt has been seeking to
minimize the national debt of
nearly "a billion dollars. He
has been intimating that it
could be paid easily, and the
no more taxes need be levied
because of the debt. These
taxes on the workers and en-
ployers, of course, already had
been levied. But it is the
plan to use the proceeds to
build up a huge social security
reserve fund amounting ulti-
mately to Az billion dollars.
That money can be invested
only in government securities.
In effect, it will be used to pay
off the national debt, which
may amount to much more
than 81 billion dollars before
the story is ended.
who will pay the debt, o.
who must pay for all the gov
ernment spending? Who but
the workers and their en-
ployers? Who but the coun-
try's business and it's wage
ealners? The money will be
taken out of the pay envel-
opes of everybody, directly or
indirectly. Some of the pay
ing will be seen, some not. But
it will be done just the same.
There is, and can be, no
escape from it, save the es-
cape of a prompt stoppage of
the spending by action of the
people and a drastic change of
the social security act or any
