Difficulties OF seeking peace within

temper of dominant claft leaders at

Time after time, the craft leaders
rode down opposition and jammed
through their program for cutting
off the c. I. o. unions, believing the
rebellion eventually will collapse and
insurgent factions will return to the

Move Budget Nearer
The shifts were submitted In gen.
cral terms to President Roosevelt
repeatedly receiving his approval
because they will help him move the
federal budget nearer to the balance
line In the next u months.
The basic reason for the decision
that relief expenditures next year
could be held down rested in the
fact that relief rolls are declining.
There were $4,000 families and
single persons-more than 10000
900 MISUNDERSTANDING on the
government for livelihood In jan
uary, 1885, when need was greatest
The number dropped to 4,756,000 q
year later.
Reason for 1t All
Increasing employment Of jobless
by business and industry during
1895 brought this confident predic-
ton from Hopkins as he surveyed
probable need Throughout THE nation
this winter:
L would think that we will &c
into January with 100000 cases
less on relief rolls (making a total
Of 3,750,000 families and single per-
sons) below January, 1885,"
The complexion of the relief rolls
is changing, however, as private en-
ployers pick the workers skilled most
In their trades or with the best
physlques. The result is that the
nations needy population lists an
increasing number Of aged persons,
white-collar and unskilled persons
Such q situation, officials said,
would appow WPA to reduce the
number of construction projects,
where material costs are high, and
make 1t possible to finance cheaper
Jobs for unskilled, aged and clerical
workers.
Reduce Expenditures
They estimated that, II relief rolls
do drop 100000 cases by January,
WPA will be able to reduce expendi-
lures 20 per cent below its 81, 49,
100000 appropriated by congress for
the l936-1937 fiscal year.
Ickes also believes that WPA
should be made permanent agency
holding in reserve a store of ap-
proved non-federal construction
projects that could be released Inn
mediately to bolster employment and
revive heavy goods industries In
event Of another depression.
The administrations theory be-
hind continuation Of CCC and NYA
1t was explained, was that young
men and women. many Of them just
out Of school. should not compete
with regular jobless In the nations
labor market. Needy youth will be
kept In CCC camps or work part
time to finance additional schooling
so they may become skilled workers

One of these was life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness" Those
were the things they wanted then.
Those are the things they want
now-with particular emphasis on
the pursuit Of happiness And why
not?
Desires OF People
1.-THE desires of the people are
the same as they always were but
the methods Of gaining them are
different. That is why the repub-
lcan party must discard the meth
DDS OF yesterday In favor Of today's
modern ways. 1t must discard Its
'four-cylinder' program for an
eight If 1t Is to remain on the po-
litical highway"
New and younger blood must be
infused into the party. Some OF
our older members may not like the
idea. But what of that? II the
party Is to live 1t must offer some
thing to the younger men and wo-
men, who will tomorrow hold the
balance Of power.
Swing Behind Cross
although our party platform was
silent on the district court bill, I
hope the republican members OF the
General Assembly will swing behind
Governor Cross In an attempt to
put the measures across this win
ter. The day Of voting for or
aginst a measure because Of Its po-
litical Significance is gone. The peo-
pie are determined to have certain
reforms, irrespective Of political
parties. This reform Is an OUT
standing one. The day Of building
party power In our city. borough,
town and police courts has passed.
It solely a question Of right and
wrong and the voters in 1888 and
1910 will Judge candidates and par
ties by their action on such ques-
tions.
Jury service for women Is an
other measure that has been made
into q political football. There Is
no good reason why women should
be denied the privilege, II 1t can SO
be considered. Of serving upon our
jurles. I have practiced law for 81
years and I'd as soon argue a case
before IL women than a jury Of
men. Then there Is the program
for city service for state employees.
IT came out for these measures In
the last campaign because I felt
they should be adopted and I hope
those legislators supported me will
support such measures IN the forth
coming session."
Time To Begin, Now
The state attorney said the time
to begin the next campaign Is now.
Governor Landon he believes an
effective organization cannot be
built In four months.
There Is no time to be lost" he
said. "the electorate Is forming It's
1888 and 1910 opinions right now
A party will be judged day by day
the actions Of its representatives
The campaign should always be on
And then election time again rolls
around the party that has fought
for the right will not have TO figure
out ways and means 10 attract the
voters. It's record will speak foE
itself.
"Let Connecticut republicans dur
Ing the years ahead forget personal
and party gain and work for the
greatest good for abe greatest num-
Der and pluralities ON election days
will be found IN proportion"
