Following close on the heels of an announcement yesterday in protest against IiSlhealthful and other faulty conditions caused by ama- teur plumbers, which was made by the Waterbury Master Plumbers Association, comes c similar trade by the Waterbury League of Mason, Carpenter, Painter and Roofing Contractors, against novices in their business.
 The Waterbury League of Mason, Carpenter, Painter and Roofing Contractors met at the Chamber Of Commerce Building last night to prepare plans, which if successful will result in the licensing of all contractors.
 Guarantee Needed
 It is the belief of the contractors of the league that there should be specifications followed to insure the home owner first class work, and that these specifications would be best enforced by Q city ordinance. The ordinance as deemed necessary by the league would protect the home owner from fly by night con- tractors, incapables, faulty work manship. material and application.
 Representatives Present
 Representatives ct the meeting last night were: George L. Mo- Grath, rf1asons: Thomas Morin, painters; Barton M. Bieicr, car- penters; and Edward J. McAdams, roofcrs. George l.. Mcdrath was named temporar chairman, and Thomas Morin. temporary secretary.

The Worlds Greatest spender
Minneapolis Tribune

\ Minneapolis Tribune
I Harry L. Hopkins may be the
greatest spender in the history OF
the world, but we suspect that he
sets no record for magnanimity to-
wards honest men who disagree
with him. To the suggestion that re-
I lief might be more economically and
efficiently administered, he replies:
There are people apparently who
think that the primary object of re-
lief is to save the Government mon
ey. We have in this country a group
whose thinking about national we'll
bling begins and ends with their poe
textbooks. They speak in ponderOus
phrases. but it all boils down TO this
DO as little as you can for the I'M
employed. Cut the costs. Don't make
us pay"
We have no doubt that the great
est spender in the history of the
world sincerely believes in all this
balderdash; yet the fact remains
that there is no essential disagree
ment anywhere as to the need of re-
lief. The controversy, as Mr.. Hop |

They protest against the costliness
of made work and against the bu-

from a highly centralized control of

relief at less cost. They suspect
that Federal funds. under the pres

itical uses. To sum up. they speak

MUST WE SHARE THE
POVERTYF

Writing in Public Utilities Fort
nightly, Albert c. Muhse- recent,
said: IF size is so reDrehensible in
the (utility) holding company
where do other corporations stand
in their investments of billions?
Perhaps the dCcapitation of the hold
ing company is only the first stem
in the process of destruction whose
goal will not be attained until we
all reach the Share the Wealth
ideal. or else share the poverty that
/ results"
Here Mr.. Muhse expressed a truth
that is certainly obvious to the in
formed Obseryer--yet lacks the pub
lie understanding it should have. II
is certainly not reasonable to sup
pose that the politicians and the de-
struCtionists have singled out the
utility holding company for sIaugh-
ter because they sincerely believe il
to be an outcast among industries.
They know that the holding COM
pany has performed invaluable SER
vices in lettering and cheapening
electric service; that its failures in

been few that. on the whole, the
calibre of its management would do
credit to any industry and to gov
itself. These are facts, and
the necessity of the holding com
pany plan has been attested to by |
high governmental off1cials-includ- (
ing Director Lilienthal Of the iva, :
which is basically a holding COM
pany, in principle if not in name.
It is reasonable to presume that
the attack on the holding company
idea, by way Of mis-statements, mis-
and plain vicious
lying, is simply the prelude to an
attack on all industry beyond the
size of a peanut-stand. II is the
opening wedge of a campaign that.
'srried to its ultimate conclusion,
will make us all share the power

lacked and inspired by alien theor-
es, to not only destroy all that is
most progressive in our industrial
lie. but to establish a political die
atOrship over businesses and indi-
iduals along eocialistic or even 7
lines. !
The attack IN the utility holding
Dmpany is thus of direct and vital r
lterest to all business men, all a
orkers. all investors. all who want I

But ii should serve as a warn
ing to the Republicans that they
still face the need of desiving a
sound farm program. If they are
courageous they will endeavOr to
aseertain whether a subsidy is
necessary and desirable. COmpe-
tent farm authorities state that to-
day not more than five per cent
of the farmers need direct Federal
aid.
What all farmers want, OF
course, is good prices for their
products, and TO be able to buy
what they need at reasonable
prices. Specifically, this is one
of the Obieetives of the new farm
I bill. In fact, the Secretary of
Agriculture is directed 20 bring
about such a ratio.
But the bill conveniently keeps
silence on the fact that there is
no way short of an economic die
tatOrship by which the Secretary
can achieve this object. The forces
controlling prices are entirely be-
yOnd his control.
The prices of certain crops. for
example, are determined by world
markets. Others are affected sole
ly by national or local supply and
demand. The prices of what farm
ers buy are affected by costs of
production, wage rates, costs of
distribution and. in a limited num-
Der of instances. by tariffs.
Among the potential benefits TO
farmers comes first and foremost
the reduction of taxes. Unfor-
tunately the Federal Government
is spending so much money that
increased taxation is inevitable.
In the next place the farmers
need better credit facilities-nOt
necessarily more credit, but
cheaper credit. This the New
Deal has in part fuTnished-and
n so doing has earned well-justi-
lied praise.
But clear-thinking farmers
know only too well that there are
great dangers in too liberal cred
{. In fact. those who face con-
litions frankly. know that part
# their troubles in the postwar
lecade was due to the fact that
hey were able TO borrow money
m the basis of war prices. Many
arms were mOrtgaged to buy add
a acres at price per acre far in
Xcess of sound land values.
All of which is but another way

Specifically this is good news
Tor the farmers. II means that
b the gentle rain of checks" will
be resumed. But the terms of the
bill deserve the most careful study
by all who are engaged in or in
terested in farming.
In plain English the new farm
bill authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to determine the
amount Of different crops which
may he raised. to direct how every
acre which he wishes TO control
may be used and to make pay
ments to the farmer on any terms
ne deems best. He may prescribe
methods of cultivation and di-
rect changes in the use of land.
He cannot force farmers to
comply and is expressly prohibit
ed from entering into contract
with producer, But he can
make payments at such time. i'm
such manner and in such
amounts" as he wishes. in ex-
change for crop control and land
utilization which he dictates.
Two questions at once present
themselves: is this new act con
stitutiOnaI and whether il is or
not, what should the Republicans
do about it?
The Supreme Court. in throw |
ing out the original A. A. A. act |
did so because ii was "a statutory
plan to regulate and control agri- |
cultural production. a matter be-
yond the powers delegated TO the
Federal Government" To the
layman this would seem TO be
simple enough.
But TO the layInan the new bill
would seem to have as its direct
purpose TO regulate and control
agriculture production. Why else
was II passed unless. of course.
to furnish the means for the nav
ment of substantial sums TO farm
ers in the hopes that these farm
ers would help 10 re-elect MIR. II
Roosevelt? II
This leads directly to the sec Ii
Ond question: What should the {
Republicans do about il? Id
They should. in the first place. Is
point out that, like the A. A. A.. "
this is mere stop-gap legislation. L
The plan. which is described as
outlining a permanent policy. has C
been only hastily and inadequately II
studied. II contains some good b

ures. Obviously it cannot be f.
