the rapidly expanding radio market

Republican colleague from Michigan,
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, to a
Joint debate on this subject:

The bearded Lewis issued copies of
Q letter which he said he had dis
patched to the Michigan Senator. He
referred to speeches Vandenberg de-
Nvered before the Union League Club
and a Constitution day gathering here
and added:
II note the charge that the admin

and through Congress, has passed
measures that violated the very fun

II charge that the measures In gen.

were those you yourself supported by
vote. In many instances by amend

rendered to the Senate and passed by
the vote Of the Senate in pursuit Of
your advocacy.
II beg to say that the only measure
that in your words violated the fun

measure, was one Of your creation In

What, No Tax Changes?

It's a lean year when there isn't a hearty discussion of taxes in the state of Connecticut. Despite the changes made in the last few sessions of the LegiS- lature, there are more to come, for as yet struggling property owners and motorists bear the burden of the tax load. It may be moving bit heavier in the direction of the latter, but so far as we can see the property owner has not really benefited in any manner by lessening of the load, save where community has been able to bring it's own assessments down to an ex- tremely low figure.
 Tn good many of the small towns to- day so much help is forthcoming from the state that the property tax can be set at minimum. There, too, the prob lem of party politics is not so perplexing as it is in the cities. And the modern city is called upon to perform so many ser vices today that it is no wonder that prop erty taxes are high and must be main- tained at a high rate. We often com plain that it is unfair for small towns to be able to depend upon the state for con- StructiOn and maintenance of most of it's main highways, while the city must foot this bill with regard to it's miles of streets There should be an allocation here in all fairness to the municipality.
 We expect that. the 1887 Legislature will receive certain requests for help on the taxation problem. The tax survey of year or so ago never was fully ac- cepted and never was fully discussed. It will continue to come before the legisla- tors until we have actually strengthened out and adjusted our tax base to modern conditions Property no longer can be regarded as the sole means of raising tax es; we have so many other ways that it is high time the property owner was given a breathing spell.

Election Claims

The two foremost political StrategiSts in this country seem to disagree. Chair man Hamilton and General Farley are worlds apart in their election forecasts MT. Hamilton assures inquirers, with calm conviction, that his candidate is going to carry every state east of the Mississippi River and north of the Ohio, including West Virginia and Wisconsin, not to mention Kansas and various other conmonwealths west of the Mississippi But when earnest inquirers turn to Gen. eral Farley, it is quite different picture.
 Tt might seem to you like pure bluff" he says, "but here is the real lowdown. President Roosevelt will carry at least 43 states, all that he had in 1882, and Pennsylvania am told by our leaders that Delaware and Connecticut will be ours. If that is so he will be elected by the largest electoral vote in American his tory, and Landon defeated almost as badly as MT. Taft in 1912. There will be only three chips, Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire, left after we take our divvy."
 This is fine Both sides are going to win, and everybody will be happy. It's just as we'll, though, not to start mort gazing homes for money to bet on these or other professional forecasts. If any bet ting is done it should be based not on personal enthusiasm but on cold logic. And cold logic at present is a rare com modity.

tition the democrats have suffered some what. Not that the democrats are get ting the worst of 1t in the campaigning. Far from it. But to date the republican candidates have not been able to produce debatable issues. They have tried state, local and national but their attack has either misfired or been disdirected. As result Governor Cross and his running mates have not yet been put to the test.
 Those who chaffed at the inability of States Attorney Alcorn to win renomiria- tion must see in the present situation exactly what they predicted and what they expected This business of running for political office today isn't something that can be taken in stride by every man. You've got to either develop taste and an ability to give the voting public its moneys worth or else you have to be born to it. At any rate we hope that the con- cluding weeks of the campaign will pro- vide the voters of Connecticut with bit more interesting material than the past two weeks have offered.

The battle is quite evidently on. The Waterbury American decided yesterday that the present tactics of the campaign in Connecticut weren't to their liking. A bit of mud here and there would be just the thing to boom circulation and at the same time stir up the feelings of any number of Waterbury voters. As result we had as mean and under-handed an editorial as ever has been our misfortune to read in the Waterbury American last evening. May it's author and inStigator live long enough to hear the bitter words of protest and criticism that every self respecting citizen of Waterbury should utter
 Public officials are forced to submit to all sorts of treatment from the public and from the public press. But there is line over which few tread. The Water bury American contemptuously steps across it in it's familiar possessive and know-it-all fashion. The advance is quite in contrast to the holier-than-thou at- titude expressed by the morning twin, also yesterday. It was exclaiming in pious attitudes over Father Coughlin, commits erating with him upon the harsh and brutal treatment that he had been eItended by 'outcast" members of the journalistic profession.
 Among other remarks passed out to his readers by the Republican editor is this bit of philosophy: Tt is to be regretted, but papers of moronic appeal will not soon, if ever, be brought into conscious ness of responsibility for presenting the truth. ..' In the evening the American kills" off Governor Wilbur L. Cross after he has been elected for his fourth con- secutive term and then squirms and wriggles because it has to accept Lieu tenant Governor Frank Hayes as his suc- cessor. Tn high places in this. state our honorable Lieutenant Governor and Mayor is held in higher repute than the editor of the American would make him out to possess only nondescript hack could fail to realize the fact. It might be a good idea if the Leavenworth Street twins read up on this and learned the truth.

When the police accident: squad is or ganized in Waterbury we hope that one thing that will be provided will be more adequate means of guarding scenes where accidents have occurred. Today the only protection that is offered, when the acci- dent occurs at night, are the flashing lights of patrolmen who are called to the spot. In good many towns patrol cars are provided with a special type of flare which can be set up in the roadway on each side of the wreck thus warning approaching vehicles of danger. The state police also use this type of flare along the highways whenever there is need for warning cars of some obstruction or need for cutting down speed. Waterbury had one fatality in it's police force due to the fact that driver didn't see a policeman near damaged car. If there are ways and means of avoiding such tragedies we ought to adopt them.

When several youths appeared in ju- venile court in Meriden last week the presiding judge took the pains to find out the root of the trouble. They had been accused of starting bonfire near a house. It developed that the youngsters had raked all the leaves off field to per- init playing football and then some older boys had come along and set fire to the pile. The youngsters tried to put it out, but were arrested for starting it. In proper fashion the judge then set out to find for the boys football field where they could be unmoleSted.

Somehow or other the republican at tack in Connecticut this fall lacks the fire of that launched two years ago by States Attorney Hugh Alcorn. We do not offer this as a criticism of the candidacy of States Attorney Arthur M. Brown and his running mates.
