= At the same time Secretary of
the Treasury Henry Morgenthau,
jr, informed Mr. Roosevelt that
government revenues are exceeding
all estimates and forecast an early
balancing of the federal budget and
reduction of the national debt. Col
lections in the first Al days of the
new fiscal year ran $1,000,000 a
day ahead of those in the same
period last year, Treasury figures
showed.
, The announcement of the gov
ernment's improved fiscal condition
came after a White House confer
ence attended by Mr.. Roosevelt,
Morgenthau, Chairman Pat Harri-
son, d., Miss, of the senate finance
committee and Chairman Robert L.
Doughton D., N. c., of the house
ways and means committee.
Il Harrison momentarily abandoned
his hot primary fight for renom-
ination to race here by airplane.
Doughton was reached at his home
in Sparta, N c., and hurried here
BY train, arriving only a few NOM
ents before the conference opened.
They remained closeted with the
chief executive for nearly an hour,
after which Mr.. Roosevelt departed
on an inspection tour of the eastern
Hood region and Harrison and
Doughton Strolled out to meet news
paped correspondents
The tall Mississippian, in rapid
fire order announced that no new
taxes would be asked of the 18th
congress; that the joint committee
OF congressional tax experts would
be iput to work at once studying
methods of reducing some levies
and eliminating others, and that
the government was in a strong
financial position.
we have found business condi-
tiQns. to be improving so much and
revenue receipts coming in so fast
that we can reach the point of
balanced budget sooner than we ex-
pected," he Said.
u Neither Harrison nor Morgen-
thau defined the levies which may
be scrapped but both indicated they
were of the nuisance" type which,
In some cases, yield less than the
cost of collection. The entire tax
structure will be studied, including
possible revisionS in the 1886 act,
which has caused some confusion
in business circles, and taxes i'm
posed under the social security act.

LOUIS M. sA0AL
(New Haven Journal Courier)


 The world is reading just now with awe and admiration the story Of the boy born Rufus Daniel Isaacs who rose to be viceroy of 1ri- dia. That part of the world eIn- braced by Connecticut, New Eng land, the Poli theater circuit sees exactly the same drama exeinplified in the life of Louis M. Sagal, whose funeral was yesterday. Here we're men of common race, comparable modesty of origin, and like genius. Both rose by the sheer propulsion ot innate gifts tos positions of power: beth used that power benevolently and well to die amid the grief and gratitude of every group in the communities which knew them.
 It can hardly be accident that the political and social systems which made these careers possible domin' ate the two mightiest empires Uf the face of the globe. The Isaacs and the Hagals illustrate not alont the benignities of that democracy which weighs talent alone; they show its deep and pragmatic wis doms. It is not merely the barbar' ism of the Maxi prosecutions whict shames the onlooker; 1t is thu brutal stupidity of Q regime whicf "purges" itself of much of the na' tons genius. We order these thing differently in England and Amer ica; the city which rnourns L0uil M. sagal today is proud and grate' ! full for that fact.

Always The Same

We were quite interested in the tax reforms being suggested by Governor James M. Curley of Massachusetts for the coming legislative session. Among those was the suggestion that the tax on realty be materially reduced. This is in line with the suggestion contained in a bill already before the Bay State Legis- lature which would set maximum rate of $25 per thousand for all local property taxes in cities and towns Connecticut had the same thought in mind year ago, too.
 Unfortunately for every such reduction proposed in taxes, some other legislator has an additional tax to take it's place, so that, of course, the government does not lose an actual cent in revenue. That, to our way of thinking, is not actual tax re- duction. If taxes are to be reduced, 1t must be all along the line, so that the eventual cost to the taxpayer is lessened and not merely shifted from one shoulder to another.
 In Massachusetts they are planning to do the same thing as they tried to do here. To ease off on the realty taxes Governor Curley would remove the state tax on cities and towns. This would cut $e from the tax rate of every city and town, he maintained. This loss of rev. enue, though, would be made up by a series of new taxes, including cigarette tax and several others. The only saving rart of the recommendation was the sug- gestion that a committee be named to study the possibility of making economies in state administration.
 That's what we're doing in Connecticut now at legislative behest and in this writer's opinion, it's the only sure way of lowering taxes. As long as government must be some forms of taxation to meet them. And if one tax is eliminated or lowered, something else must be done to make up the loss in revenue. Cut the cost of government and automatically the tax rate drops.

ing nothing but their nefarious meddling. Get busy in selecting your consignees and we will assist them at this end. The best treatment for racketeers is to remove their source of revenue and let them go out and try to make an honest living for once in their lives"
 The racketeer today is probably Amer ica's No. parasite. He has edged his way into nearly every type of business and trade, making life uncomfortable and dangerous for producers and distributors, not to mention consumers. We need to get him out of American life.

$7,O0O,0OO a Mile?

In recent discussion of the Merritt Parkway Flavel Shurtleff, counsel for the American Planning and Civic Associa- tion, had some nice things to say about it. However, he pointed out among other things the following, which might be wondered at, the cost of the road will be $25 5,00O,000 or $7000000 mile. The figures are MT. Shurtleff's. At this rate the Merritt Highway is only going to be slightly over three miles long. It must be that in collecting his data on the road the gentleman became confused or else the neWSpaperman to whom he confided his thoughts was in error in reporting them.
 At any rate we learn from the speaker that there, will be no commercialiSm of the road. Of course MT. Shurtleff doesn't know that in case of war Uncle Sam is to commander the Merritt Highway for ammunition trucks so that they may rumble along uninterruptedly from Bridgeport into New York. That is some thing which the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce has pointed out as possibility in the event of war in which the United States might be plunged.
 As for non-exploitation of the highway for commercial purposes that has been understood for long time. But what the majority of her owners of the state would like to understand is why with everybody in agreement that the road be built, and on an elaborate scale, too, actual work on it can't be pushed. It's high time there was less publicity about what is going to be done and more about what actually is being done on the road itself.

week of December 1884, had an out- put of 38,500; two years ago, with a temporary revival in business report ed, only 20,700 motor cars came from the assembling lines in the sec ond week of December. Obviously the five-fold increase in production last month compared with the same period of 1883 cannot be attributed solely t9 general business improve inent. /
 Retail sales of new cars in Mo- vember show in more concrete form the public response to the earlier introduction of 1886 models. Taking the 1929-193l period as 100, in Mo- vember the dollar value" of retail sales of new passenger cars stood at nearly 97, compared with November, ,,,sl ,Ss4, when sn 1t was only slightly more
 Automobile financing has shown Q sharp increase since the motor car exhibition, as compared with previous years. The increase in No- veinber over October in retail financing of passenger cars was 66 per cent. The aggregate volume of new car financing for the iirst Il months of the year was 90 per cent higher than for the same period of 1884. Tn all previous years there was Q decline frefn October to No. vemher in retail financing. This was always anticipated because of the January introduction of the new models.
 With large replacement fore. cast for io36, the production rec. ord for the year just ended was the most encouraging in six years. The output as estimated by tha Automobile Manufacture associa- ton exceeded 4,i50,000 vehicles. This was 42 per cent more than in ie3A. The influence on other trades and industries was one cause of busis ness revival. Taking nearly quar- ter of the years iron and steel out- put, three.quarters of the rubber. more than Q third of the nickel and 22 per cent of the copper, the motor industry continuel to have primary importance as consumer of raw ma. terials. The movement of these mas terials required the use of thousands of new trucks and other commercial cars. Thus, the motor industry Is al- ways building its own market high- CT as 1t provides in itself Q market for other industries.

Needy writers in the United States don't think so much of the WPA. They recently addressed a letter to President Roosevelt claiming that so far as they were concerned the WPA was complete bust. In short the needy writers of the nation (and who knows what this classi- fication might include) want the pro- gram designed to aid them put into ef- feet. Heading the list of protesters was the name of Marc Connolly. We trust that MT. Connolly does not include him. self among the needy writers The pro- ject originally was designed to give work to 800 needy writers. No work has as yet been forthcoming. Maybe that's due to the fact that the 800 swelled to 5000, for it would be easy to find 5000 or even 80,O00 needy writers in this country of ours.

Getting Abound

One of the pleasant things for which 1885 was remarkable was the amount of travel indulged in by Americans. It is estimated that vacation travel alone cost 2,O0O, 100000. It seems to have been well distributed, too. Steamship com- panies, railroads, motor transportation, air lines, travel agencies and resorts, all shared in it's profits
 If winter cruise activity is any gauge for the coming year, 1886 will see this trend continued on grand scale. The most significant change in travel habits is the rapidly growing enthusiasm for the Americas. North and South America are both in the limelight of popular attention now, with the Far East next. Europe is always popular in the summer, unless war interferes, and corners of Europe former ly visited by only a few are now appeal ing to many.
 There may be some disadvantages or perils in so much wandering about over the face of the earth, but they are hard to think of. Mostly it is good for people to have a change of scene, to meet new people and observe ways of living differ ent from their own.

There are racketeers even in the
 marketing of artichokes. It was to stop their graft that Mayor La Guardia of New York banned temporarily the sale of this vegetable in New York. His action did not please the artichoke growers on the Pa cific Coast, but misunderstanding be- tween them and the mayor have been cleared up by an exchange of telegrams.
 The mayor asked the growers to name reputable consignees to whom their artichokes could safely be sent and agreed to arrange immediately for their sale in the public markets.

In announcing its plans officers of the group said that such gifts must be- accompanied by endow- ments to cover expenses of maintenance. This follows in line with the plans of the Society for the Preservation of New Eng land Antiquities. This organization now owns about thirty buildings in the New England states. It is high time that Con- necticut developed sense of responsl.- bility towards maintaining old homes and other structures that are intimately linked with the early history of the state.
