CHARITY DENOTES FREEDOM IN GIVING, NOT COERCION
 OR PRESSURE
Waterbury, Conn.,,
 April II, 1886.

|
 April II, 1886. To the Editor of the
 Waterbury Democrat.
 Dear Sir: The lately published re- port of the Mutual Aid Unemploy- ment Fund, Inc, contains two com. ments quite pertinent to the cur. rent discussion about the advisa. bility of instituting a Community Chest in this city. One comment iE this statement by the Russell Sagt Foundation, Considerable pressure was exerted to secure pledges. and coercion is said to have beer applied" The other is the state. ment about the checkage of pay. rolls in cities which have Com. munity Chest and about the collec. tion of pay at the source. The combination of these state. ments has produced in the mind! of many the following question! about the Community Chest: l. Just who determines tht amount of each individuals Icon. tribution?"
 2. What allowances will be made for those who already give gener. ously to private objectives as { hobby, charities to which the Com. munity Chest does not extend?
 3. What allowances will be made for those who have dependent upor them parents, younger members O. the family, or other unemployed ol sick relatives? Must such benefac' tors, to secure exemption, mak' known to others the extent of theil private sacrifices, the extent tt which they relieve the burden or the public treasury?
 4. Will the income tax returns comparable in this case to salary lists, be used as basis for all as sessments, especially for those levied upon the many local residents wht derive large but hidden income! from mortgages, stocks, estates anc other investments?
 5. Since the organizations whicl would share the fund possess, indi' vidually, no legal authority, vii they, as a group, become endowed with the legal right to force, by even the slightest pressure, the talk ing of money from pay envelopes
 6. Will even the slightest pres. sure be used to secure pledges (The Unemployment Fund existed during an emergency0 This poin should be thoroughly considered by factory employees, city employees, anc by other easily regimented group! whose incomes are readily ascer. tainable.
 '. Should organizations which have highly paid executives on theil staffs be the recipients of enforced contributions?
 The use of any force or threats whatsoever, or of the "Give-or.-get- out" principle in an attempt to se- cure pledges to charity is despic- able racketeering and gangsterism practices which are repugnant to all really interested in furthering tho principles of good government anc of true charity.
 It is true, as the report of the Un- employment Fund states, that tho Almighty has given us the one great commandment, Love thy neighbol as thyself", but He also laid dowr the two equally powerful mandates Thou shalt not steal', and "Thol shalt not covet thy neighbor'! goods. The essence of charity i' freedom in giving.

town council will meet with rep
resentatives of various local organ
izations in the fire department

Fredericksburg Plans
Row Of Cherry Trees
To Washington S Farm

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Jan.
16.-The beginning of a movement
to establish boulevard of cherry
trees from Fredericksburg to
George Washington's boykood
farm in stafford, scene of the
world-known Juvenile story of
Washington. was announced by
the Fredericksburg Chamber of
Commerce disclosing plans for a
celebration there on February %.
Governor Peery and the State
legislature will be asked to be the
guests of Fredericksburg when the
trees are planted. President
Roosevelt also will be invited to
the celebration, as will many
other prominent officials.
Although never established as
a public shrine, as have two
other places at which Washington
lived, the farm opposite Freder-
ickSburg is one of the most I'M
portant of his homes. 1t was the
only place IT which the entire
Washington family lived.

vocated is one sponsored by the
Young Mems Democratic Club,
which would provide for a ward
system of electing councilmen
with the mayor elected at large,
instead of the present method Of
all being elected at large.
This change. members Of the
club declare, would provide a
more equal representation for all
sections of the town, as each of
the five wards would select and
elect their own representative.
Now it is possible for all five mem
bers of the council to be elected
from the same section.
The club also would provide for
a permanent registration Of vot-
ers with one registration being
sufficient for town, county State
and national elections.

OF Huey Long, Here

Despite the fact that President

next week, LouisianianS will vote
the Democratic ticket, regardless
of the candidate, in the next

if he is an migrate" he said.
Naturally, Mr.. Sandoz was opti-
mistic about the success of the
Long ticket in the State election,
declaring that the victory would
be overwhelming"
Here for a Today stay to pur-

Mr.. Sandoz brought his bride of

tary, Pearl Maretzky, 80, for a

Sandoz says she will continue to

D. {. MAN BUYS
OLD FAIRFAX
ALNSH0USE

FAIRFAX COURTHOUSE, Va,
Jan. ia proposal to convert
the old Fairfax county almshouse
into a home for mothers and a
receiving home for children was
abandoned late yesterday when
the county board of supervisors a..
copied the offer of a Washington
man for purchase Of the prop
erty.
Located on Little River Turn.
pike about one mile west of Fair
fax, the almShouSe had not been
in use for 10 years. 1t was con-
structed in 1912 by several north
ern Virginia counties as a home
for all the poor from those coun-
ties at a cost of approximately
$4,000.
Have More Modern Home
Since the abandonment of the
Fairfax almshouse, Fairfax county
poor have been taken care of in
a modern almshouse in Prince Will
liam county, also constructed with
the funds of several counties.
The property had been Of
fered for sale for years. Badly
in need of repair, it had been
planned to convert it into home
for Fairfax county mothers and
children with funds of the county
welfare board.
Before the sale may be con-
summated it must be confirmed
by Judge Walter T. Mccarthy,
of the circuit court for Fairfax
county. The offer. $4,000, was
made by F. Baughn Pultz.
$500 for Firemen
Cautioned by commemorative
Attorney Paul E. Brown that I'M
der the State law county boards
could not appropriate funds for
the use of volunteer fire depart
ments if the money was not to
be spent at the direction of the
county and payable through
county requiSition.
The board voted to appropriate
$500 to assist the Vienna fire
department in retiring the debt
on a fire truck. The money was
voted out of the general fire pro-
lection fund.
This action, according to the
ruling of the commemorative at
torney, would come within the
law as an appropriation for equip
ment.
An offer by the Federal Govern
ment to distribute surplus food
products to needy families within
the county was accepted by the
board.
