Up or Down?

A number of the state legislatures that are in regular session this year must de- eide whether or not gasoline taxes are to continue rising or will start going down now. Motor taxes are gradually start ing to assume serious proportions in a good many sections of the country. We don't doubt but our prediction, made many times in the past, will soon be true. We believe that the real estate tax will be cut to the bone and in it's place we'll find heavy levieS on usage of automobiles.
 The story runs like this .. Kentucky, drop tax from five to four cents; New Jer- Sey; cut tax from three to two and one half; New York, kill two-cent emergency gas tax, which is additional to regular two-cent tax; Virginia refund gasoline taxes to airplane consumers; Mississippi, repeal $1 permit fee paid by gasoline deal CTS. Of course in our own state we jumped the gasoline tax one cent, but we dropped the registration fees, thus preserving pretty even balance in ultimate receipts, although eventually it may mean more income
 There isn't much chance these days of using taxes collected on gasoline for any thing but highways. But many states have tried to divert such monies and Suc- ceeded too. In our own state the effort has usually met with rebuffs. But we think the day isn't far distant when taxes on gasoline and automobiles are going to be raised to the point, where departments administering will show big surpluses. And then we'll find plenty of adherents to the scheme of diverting such funds for vastly different purposes. It's coming, wait and see.

SurpIus Home Sites

One of the big industrial cities, check ing up local real estate conditions, finds that it has 100000 vacant building lots in its metropolitan area, with improve ments in and ready for home-building That means home sites for 50 per cent more than it's present population.
 Most of those vacant properties are in distress, far behind in their taxes and mortgage payments. Many thousands of them have been foreclosed. Thousands more are not worth, on the present mar ket, as much as the debt standing against them. Some of the suburbs in which they lie are bankrupt for lack of ability to collect taxes and assessments.
 This picture, except for it's size, is typical of hundreds of American cities, especially those which until recent years were growing most rapidly The popula- tion growth has slowed down. From present indications, with diminishing birth rate and virtual stoppage of immi- grafton, many communities may take half century to utilize their vacant building lots. It will not be surprising if real estate people, sooner or later, start a campaign for more children and more immigrants.

Parkway Plans

There isn't much heard any more about the financial end of the Merritt Parkway Evidently the way has been smoothed out and federal funds will be available when needed to make this greatest of Connecticut highway projects a reality. Ambitious plans are still wait ing to be put into execution. The right of way across Fairfield county that is eX- pected to relieve congestion on the Bos- ton Post Road is at last one long straight expanse of fifty-odd miles, 300 yards wide all along the route.
 For the present the parkway will be built north of the engineering base line, which runs plumb down the center or the right of way. There will be two ave- nues of traffic separated by a park Each channel will be wide enough for two car passage (26 feet). But what should De of more interest to the motorist is the scheme that will from one end of the road to the other afford clear vision of 500 feet at all times. This is only possi- ble by construction methods that are the acme of perfection.
 Landscaping the parkway is one of the most important features now going on, we are led to understand from recent newspaper comment. The natural sur roundings will be preserved so far as possible They will be amplified by set tings which will harmonize with the sur roundings. There will be no commercial ism along the highway, although it will probably be necessary to provide several outlets for gasoline stations at certain intervals. With such plans as these being announced Connecticut motorists will lose the bad taste that years of pickering over the road has produced and look for ward to the roads completion with inter- est The project now dates back ten years or more.

A Book a Day
By BRUCE CATION

About a year ago, young Am- erican named Viv Hurley wrote refreshing and interesting book called Southeast of Zamboanga, in which he told what happened to him when he tried to start a one- man coconut planation in the Philippine jungle.
 Now MT. Hurley is out with a new book about life in those far- of islands. This one is called 'Men in Sun Helmets," and the vein MT. Hurley worked so successfully in the first book seems to be running a bit thin.
 Not that "Men in Sun Helmets is dull; it Is simply rather light. The first book recorded Q dramatic and exciting adventure; this one throws together series of incid- ents and anec0dtes. and the effort to make them seem exotic and ad- ventuF0us seems forced.
 After malaria and divers other obstacles convinced Mr. Hurley that he was not born to be Q e0conut planter. he decided to have 60 at bearing the white mans burden in more comfort. So he got . j0b running Q c0e0nut mill.
 Here he lived . busy, pleasant, but somewhat lonely life for half . dozen years. and got . fiFst-hand vlew of the forced, unnatural ats TnOspheTe in which Americans must live in the tropics.
 Ills comments on ali this ere Ehrewd. and ha leaves you feeling that one Of our wlsegt decisions, ai . nation, was the decision to eel out of the phillpplneg.

Century of Exploration

It is the job of the Twentieth Century, says Lincoln Ellsworth, to remove the word "Unexplored" from the map of the world. The work may run over into the next century, for Ellsworth says it will take 100 years of surveying and mapping from the air and painstaking investiga- tions on the ground just to explore the Antarctic fully.
 There is indeed plenty of work to be done to complete our geographical knowledge, not all of it in the Antarctic. But even more important explorations are neede5 and are being made in this century. The World War and the World Depression brought forcibly to human attention that there are vast uneXplored regions in the realms of sociology, edu- cation and health. A tremendous amount of exploring is required in them all if civilization is to proceed successfully along well-charted routes.

Good Sense At Cross Walks

4 beaming boy of eight years is the proud possessor of a brand new pair of shoes given to him by newspaper in his town because of his carefulness at street crossings. The paper gives free automobile license plates to particularly careful drivers and free shoes to careful pedestrians, as it's part in the safety campaign participated in by hundreds of daily newspapers all over the country.
 The little fellow in this story had learned a song about stopping at the curb to look both ways before crossing the street. He not only sang it with gusto, but he took it's safety advice to heart He won his pair of shoes when traffic po- liceman and reporter saw him waiting at a crossing. The light changed to "Go" as the boy came to the curb, but he paused to look both ways before scamp ering across
 As 1t happened, two cars travelling rather fast, came through after the light changed. If the boy had not looked at the traffic as well as the light. he might have been hurt. Ills picture in the paper, WITH the new shoes and the story about i1ls caTcfulness, should win a lot of youngsters. and adults. too. Co the prac- tIce Of good sense in traffic.

The announcement that inspection of motor vehicles will start here shortly probably doesn't overjoy drivers. The tests of last summer and fall were never we think, very popular. However, they served some good purpose. They made many motorist check up on his car and have certain things, like lights and brakes, put into Al condition. Starting with the first of the two 1886 tests the inspectors will place sticker on the windshield of all approved vehicles. Cars without them may be stopped by enforce ment officials We wonder if this isn't violation of a Connecticut ordinance We recall some years ago that all types of stickers were barred from windshields and windows of automobiles, particularly rear ones where vision might be thus ob- scured.

There's considerable speculation as to the part that State Chairman J. Henry Roraback will play in this coming state and national campaign. His hands-off attitude of two years ago when he might have dictated the nomination of someone other than States Attorney Hugh Alcorn of Hartford, for whom the state chair man was not supposed to cherish too much affection, makes many think that he will show the same disposition to abide by the wishes of the delegates to the state convention. But then again this is presidential year and Mr.. Rora- back is very active nationally right now lining up forces for candidates That might necessitate an active part in the selection of state candidates, too.

One point on which they laid great stress was the necessity of cutting federal expenditures and balancing the budget.
 Roosevelt listened good ly and silently until they had fin- ished. Then, for thirty minutes, he gave them a straight-from- the shoulder reply that left them gasping.
 Government spending to re- lieve unemployment" he said, will continue. It will continue as long as such aid is necessary. You might as well make up your minds to that.
 "I know some of you gentle men are very eager to have me retired to private life. Let me give you Q bit of advice.
 "If you want to get me out of the White House the first thing you will have to do is to stop chiseling. Stop chiseling on your employees.
 Every time you lengthen hours or lower wages-as I have evidence is being done-you make thousands of votes for me.
 "The worker says to himself: Tt was not that way under NRA. The New Deal is for me. It is my friend No, gentlemen, chiseling on the hours and wages of workers is not the way to beat me-"
 Some of the business moguls admired the Presidents frankness Most of them, however privately expressed resentment at the im- plication they were "chiselers". White House Autograph

RURAL DAWN

Bert Cooksey in the New York Times Sweeer sings the flicker. oh, safer walks the hare In comfort swims the shiner and all gently runs
 the toad; The shepherds purse and triIlium are grave com
 paniOns where A patriarchal alder greets a rabbit on his road Gentler leans the bueweed, oh, louder sings the
 thrush Unfearing trails the pine mouse and all fearless
 swms the trout; At peace the green-eyed weasel leaves his little
 world Of brush To sniff through royal hornbeam with a twtching
 thimble snout. And genter stIrs the heartword, oh sweeter speaks
 the brain, Compassion rules the muscles Of travail and terror
 made; o brothers of the temple h the day dawn not again. Write this: His day of parting held an houF un-

the power to increase or curtail. Theoretically the survival of the Attest means the continued ex- istence of those who by force of character or physical strength are able to survive conditions under which others less endowed by na- ture perish. In reality 1t means "the survival of the most un- scrupulous"; the continued exist ence of those who by ignoring all considerations of feeling, all the obligations of human brother hood, and all the rules of justice and charity survive at the ex- pense of those less callous than themselves. Both these phrases have been brought from the doe main of the jungle into the life as well as the language of our contemporary, so-called civiliza- tion.
