-, Policy

The Grant County Education, after
study of political candidates and
the various initiatives which are be-
ing placed on the November ! ballot.
nave decided to depart from the tradi-
tlonal 'hands-off-poIitics'' policy.
There is too much at stake at the
present time to warrant taking any
chances in this election" said Super
lntendent H. z. Backus, president OF
the Grant County teachers group.
Passage Of the Showalter bill,
the most important school legislation
passed in decades, was secured only
through the most energetic coopera-
ton of DIR. Showalter and Governor
Martin with the schooi-ninded peo-
pie of this state. Coulee City's schooA
district has not had to levy any tax
above ten mills since that bill went
into effect. Coulee City district has
been saved in the neighborhood of
$500 each of the past three years

are helping pay the burden.
Insisted On Appropriations
Again at the close OF the 1885 leg-
islature it was these men who had the
courage to insist that adequate money
be appropriated for the continuance
Of the public schools OF this state.
The County association is non-poai-
teal and, as expressed in an announce
ment elsewhere in this issue, asks the
people to vote for Governor Martin
(democrat) and DIR. N. u. ShowaIter
trepublican). The cooperation which
has been evidenced in behalf OF the
schools by these men should be reason
enough for any thinking citizen to
disregard political affiliations when
voting for these positions.

ding, one time stormy pctrel in state republican affairs, will play no active part In the political campaign. Attorney General Cum mlngs says that Levitt will not be granted q leave of absence to take part in politics. The former inde- pendent republican leader has re- turned from the Virgin Islands, where he acted aA federal judge. to resume his post as special assistant to the attorney general.
 The congressional line-up In democratic ranks thB fall won't be an awful lot different from two years ago, for the simple reason that democrats hold four of the states six places in the house of representatives. Assured Of re- nomination are Rep. Herman Kop- pleman of Hartford Clst district); Rep. James Shanley Of New Ha- ven (3rd); Rep. J. Joseph Smith of Waterbury (5th); and Rep. Will liam M. Citron of Middletown (at- large).
 Tn the fourth district Mayor Al- fred N. Phillips of Stamford and Richard F. Warren have both an- nounced candidates for the rlom- ination. Tn the second district it looks like Attorney Thomas Bir- mingham of Andover.
 On the republican side it's a bit harder for there are more places to i'll with candidates. The in- cumbents, Rep. Schuyler Merritt of the fourth district (stamford) will be renominated, as will Dr. William L. Higgins of Coventry fin the second, although opposi- ton to him had been predicted some weeks back.
 In the ist district there is 6 leaning towards ex-Mayor Batter son; in the third it's Q scramble with everyone waiting for State Senator John Lynch to make up hts mind whether or not he wants it. That Is, everyone except former Town Chairman Mcrrlsey

:-: Political Gossip :-:

Add to the list of republican state senators who won't De In the running thls fall the name of David R. Robbins of Tracy, which ls in the township Of WalIing. ford. He represented the 18th district. At . recent g.Op. session In McrIden he announced his ln- tentIOns not to run again. He served In the house in 1883.
 It was Senator Robbins who preClpItated the fight last year iD the legislature when he charged certain democrats with trying to bribe him to help them organize the senate.
 Senator Robbins thus becomes the second republican senator to announce his intention not to seek reelection. The veteran state senator, John P. Lynch of West Haven surprised friends and tho state at large with a similar statement some weeks back. Whether 1t means he is deiinite- Iy throwing his hat into the con- greSsional ring remains to Dc seen.
 Republican senatorial ranks were also depleted earlier this year by the untImely death of the much liked and respected Judge Cornelius C. Costello of New London.

TugweII in Spotlight

The dr0uth has put Rcsettlement Administrator Rex Tugwell very much back on the map, after it had appeared that the RA was due for extinction and it had been said that Tugwell would be kept out of sight during the campaign.
 The IsA has become the back bone Of the drOuth relief effort It is able to make grants and leans to relieve rural distress, whereas WPA can only provide work and has been unable to go se quickly into action.
 Also, more than 70 per cent of resettlements O,b00,00O2acre subs marginal land purchase program is placed in the drouth area, which means about SI4,000,000 spent for iand--fnost of It paid to families which want to relocate.
 Furthermore, resettl0ment has done a heavy Job of land use plans ming and research which Gh0uld prove invaluable to any commit teo considering permanent pro- greni. Relatively ignorant in the iD54 drouth, the government DOW knows all about tho land in the drouth area, what it ig good for, and whether various sections ought tO Dc used for ranching, dry farming, or continuous crop farming.
 The RA has worked clogcly with state blaming boards, especially if1 the DakotaS, Montana, and Wy. oming, discovering the areas where there are too many pcrWnO for the land to support.

Drouth Committee Faces Big Job ln Framing Permanent Land Plan ;. Tugwell Back ln Limellght McGrady's Peace Move Is Spurned by John l.. Lewis Foes of Roosevelt Tumble Again.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-08-06


 Washington, Aug. Ts--The chief aim Of the national drouth commit tee, cliairmaned by Rural Electrifi- cation Administrator Morris L.. Cooke, will Dc to recommend . per- xnanent land plan for the drouth area for the presidents presentation to congress.
 Committee members privately agree that the most important thing Co be accomplished is Q consider able reduction in dry land farming, especially in the Dakotas, Mon- lAna, Wyoming, and other sections of the "dust bowl"
 The committee ig practically certain to propose . large pro- gram of land acquisition by the government which would retire millions of acres from day farm- Ing and turn 1t into grazing land which would be opened to grazing associations.
 The next most important rec- 0mmendat probably will be for . program Of water conservation, especially with respect to small streams and ponds.
 Congress would have to apprO. pfiate She money. Need created by the drouth has already made iE obvious that available relief funds Of WPA and the FesettIes ment administration can't last be- yond January, at the most OptI- mlgtlo estimate.
 It seems likely that by Novem. beF everybody will be admitting that one of the first jobs of the next congress will be to provide more WPA funds to run through next June--as well as to decide whether 1t wants to embark or tho recommended land program.
 Seriousness of the drouth stu. ation has become especially inten- gified lately with ruin of corr crops, especially in Nebraska.
