Roads Come High

While state newspapers are carrying occasional reports about prices on lana being bought for the Merritt Parkway, there comes to hand report just filed with Governor Wilbur L. Cross by the Connecticut Petroleum Industries Com 1i1ittee. It shows that since 1921, when the first gasoline tax was imposed by this state. that Connecticut motorists have paid into the coffers total of $47, ,l77, ,756. A good share of this went for depart mental administration; the major share of it built new roads; maintained old ones.
 The organization furnishing the report is not opposed to all gasoline taxation as might first be imagined. It does, how ever, campaign against unreasonable taxes, such as are maintained in some states. It also opposes any diversion or gasoline taxes for purposes other than highway construction, maintenance, ana departmental work, which is probably very proper. In presenting its survey to Governor Cross the warning was added against allowing to soar to high figures.
 There is a well-defined movement 1n the United States to boost gasoline taxes year by year, so that ultimately revenue from them will be used for diversity or purposes. We have even seen this 1nten.. ton in Connecticut. We have managed to turn it aside. And our gasoline tax IS not too high, although we would have preferred to have had it remain at two cents per gallon instead of being ir1- creased, one cent, as it has and will soon become effective.
 As the survey states, Generally speak ing, revenue from reasonable gasoline taxes and from other automotive levies, if properly and effectively expended upon long-term programs of planned highways adapted to present and pros pective traffic needs, adequately will finance state highway systems. =" But like all forms of taxation abuses be- gin to creep in. It began that way with the property tax. It loomed as a rich source of government income. To-day the property tax is abused, so much so that reform is urged everywhere, but un- til something just as remunerative IS found no change is made. Now auto mobiles and gasoline loom as the subst1- tute. Caution is necessary.

Doesn't Read too We'll

Once more the State Hospital at New town gets the headlines. It's getting to be habit. We might have waited to comment on this matter until after the head of the institution and the trustees had made some public statement, but they prefer not to say anything about the subject, which is simply an attack by the State Board of Finance and Control on the policy of competitive bidding in awarding contracts for hospital supplies.
 An order of $60,000 seems to be the bone of contention. Almost 400 patients are being transferred to Newtown from the state hospitals at Middletown and Norwich. To take care of them new sup plies were ordered last year, but as there was some pressure being brought to bear on the hospital trustees last year the mat ter pursued bit devious course. Finally the trustees awarded contracts, but ex- animation showed some didn't go to the lowest bidders
 It's rather coincidence but the New town hospital has been in hot water since it was built as every so often charges of favoritism in contract awards cropped forth. In fact, the matter was even threshed out in the Legislature few years back. The latest incident, we hope, will not have any result on the speedy completion of additional units at the Fair field county hospital. They are sadly needed as conditions .i.l the state hos pitals show plenty of overcrowding and the natural accompanying bad effects.

lakes and rivers are a natural resource that slowly but surely are being gobbled up by private interests for their own ex- ploitation. That's why so many com muriities are forced to go far afield today for their own sources of potable water. And that's why all forms of government
 federal, state, and local = should com bine to provide uniform laws for protect ing water supplies from pollution.
 If Senator Lonergan's proposals do endanger many industries, it may be be- cause these same industries contribute to the shocking amount of stream pollution that occurs daily in the United States. Sooner or later there has to be show down on this matter. It isn't only the community that must change its old system of emptying raw sewage into con venient rivers or ponds for disposal, it's the nearby mill which also dumps chemi- calls and other residue = waters used in washing metals, etc. - that must snap to attention. We have tremendous job. Only complete cooperation can bring the desired result end of all pollution.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-02-26
More to It Than This

Charges that if bills sponsored by Sen- ator Augustine Lonergan of Hartford are passed by Congress every industry using water would be destroyed seem bit far fetched. Yet efforts are now being made by prominent concerns, many of them right here in New England, to check the proposed legislation of the senior Con- necticut senator. It proposes in the main to eliminate stream pollution. At least that is our understanding of the bills.
 There can be no gainsaying the fact that stream pollution is major problem of this age. We are slowly but surely spreading the gospel of tree conserve tion throughout the nation. Most of us are conscious of the fact that many spe- cies of wild life have been in danger of becoming extinct through inroads of hunters, predators, and lack of both breeding and feeding spots Soil erosion and exhaustion have also been discussed in full. All are being treated in some way or another.
 But just as troublesome as these prob- lerns is that of stream pollution. Our

Another Depression

It seems hardly fair to start talking about the next depression before we are out of the last one. Says Dr. Scott Near ing, economist and author: "All we're doing today is retooling prosperity. We're doing it by government spending and by replacing capital goods. Now this cant last more than six or twelve months. Then we'll be on the down grade again"
 He thinks the present upward trend will reach its peak next year and the next decline will start in 1888. Most of the cyclic experts have been giving us longer upgrade than that, lasing per- haps until 1940. Dr. Nearing seems to hold with the Technocrats that the eco- nomice cycle is, as Howard Scott was tell ing the world four or five years ago, "in- creasing rapidly in frequency and ampli- tude," like the vibrations of motor about to shake itself to pieces. ..
 He proceeds with this Jeremiad: "That's the business cycle -- prosperity, recession, depression, revival, prosperity again. That's your 'top-to-top' cycle, and it will continue, the average of each cycle being little lower than that which preceded it, until ultimately the big pro- ducing centers like New York, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, are de- mobilized, plants and machinery decay and we return to an agrarian civilization again." Well, all we can say is that there may be less of an agricultural problem then

Forgotten Women" World Center for Women's Archives Would Give Woman More Prominent Place in Writ
 ings, Discussions, Home Life.
HARTFORD COURANT

It is not to gain recognition for the great women of history that Mary Ritter Beard of New Milford spoke last week in behalf of World Center for Women's Archives. Those who commented lightly, in the vein of Tennyson's tribute in "The Prin- cess" praising Helen of Troy, Cleo patra, Joan of Arc and Queen Eliz- abeth, have. forgotten that history today is not seen as 1t was in the Victorian age. They might have had this in mind, for the recent death of James Harvey Robinson recalled the great popularity of his "The Mind in the Making" and his achievements in making America conscious that history was not sirn- ply 8 matter of leaders, of courts and wars, or of treaties and laws, but acomposite of many interrelated economic political, religious, social and physical conditions forming hu- man thought and will. Dr. and Mrs. Beard were long friends and col- leagues of Dr. Robinson's and the similarity of their general approach to history is marked, all three owing much to the work of Beiedetto Croce.
 The almost total exclusion of women or their misrepresentation when they are mentioned by such popular writers as H. G. Wells, Will Durant, John Erskine and Harry Elmer Barnes is deplored by Mrs. Beard. She is not surprised because she believes that even women do not know the history of women, and that only when they do will men learn. As @ means to this end, plans are now under consideration for the collection and preservation of docu- mentary and other records of the lives, activities and achievements of women. "Not only may historians to come find there materials for estab- fishing truths about today" Mrs. Beard concluded, but we who are to use thes documents in our own day may derive from the records of women's aspirations, struggles, achievements and failures the truth about women for ourselves and more will to carry on the best traditions of our kind"
 Mrs. Beard has assembled some such documents in her book, Amer lea through Women's Eyes" She finds that there is force in woman, "continuer, protector, preserver of life," that has affected the center of life in every age and time. Prob- ably no one would deny this, al- though 1t has usually been attrib- uted to the conservative influence of the home and family. Now, 1t is clearly seen that woman's influence is not always conservative. There was Harriet Beecher Stowe, and

It would seem, though, from a distance that the former democratic leader might have to take to third party to put his points across. We don't know whether Mayor Dunn can be busted cas- fly from his office and certainly demo- crats are going to make an effort to keep the town democratic.

Cold weather this winter has virtually destroyed peach orchards in Illinois, Kan sas, Nebraska, and Iowa, according to latest crop reports. We are awaiting the check-up in our own state now. Two years ago the crop was ruined by the weather. This winter would seem to be about. twice as bad as that one, but so far we haven't heard much from the orchardists on the 1936 peach crop. The native peaches are about the best to our way of thinking. We presume that this winter with it's snow and intense cold will do a lot of damage among all kinds of fruit trees. With severe winters in order we'll have to do something about protecting fruit trees.

A Book a Day
Hunts Buried Cities And Finds Thrills
BY BRUCE CAPTION

The business of archaeological re- search is all very fine and noble, but Count Byron .de Prorok, who has done his share of 1t, likes to have a little excitement mixed with 1t. He doesn't feel happy unless he is dodging poisoned darts in Q Central American jungle, or out- facing @ bloodthirsty Touareg tribesman in the Sahara. He sets forth this point of view in his new book, "In Quest of Lost Worlds"
 Herein he recites some of his ar- theological adventures of the last decade, says frankly that he cares less for the plodding spade work of this science than for the thrills of arisk and discovery, and gives Q readable, exciting account of his doings.
 Between thrills, he devotes him. self to expounding his theory ot @ great "Atlantean" civilization which, in prehistoric times. may have thrown it's influence across a great belt of earth, from Egypt to Central America.
 He has traced its relics, he be- lieves, along the Nile, all across the Sahara and in the forests of Yuca- tan and Guatemala, and he feels that he has found enough evidence to indicate that early civilizations in those areas shared Q hoinogere- ous culture. Furthermore, he be. lieyes that he has found the fabled land of Ophir, where King Solomon got his gold, in the kingdom oi Ethiopia.
 Occasionally one feels that Count dc Prorok is more interested in the thrills of the quest than in arche. ology itself. However that may be his book is eminently readable. Published by Dutton, it sells 10, | $3.50.
