Why Change Procedure?

Considerable interest Is manifest in the attempts of Republicans and Democrats to determine who shall or shall not have control of the office of Controller in our city government. It is @ bit unfortunate, of course, that the Controller-elect Is of Q diffreent political persuasion than that of Mayor Frank Hayes. Had voters fore seen that complications might result from electlng Q mixed ticket they might have acted differently last fall. It has been the experience of most cities where its officials are of more than one political faith, some controversy is bound to result.
 We can't expect anything different in Waterbury during the coming two years and we are quite resigned to such an eventuality. As matter of fact 1t may enliven the political situation throughout the next two years to find that Fusionlsts are seeking, by dint of their small foot entrenched Democratic office-holders. Whatever the outcome of Controller-elect Sherwood Rowland's court action to de- termine who will dictate the policies of his office, the voting public Is interested.
 Mayor Hayes has distinct advantage, to be sure, In asking why he should do differently next year what he has done In the past. He maintains that the City Charter gives him free rein in depart mental appointments and that he has been accustomed to take such free rein In the past. He does not concede that the election of a Republican to an office, while he was being returned to the mayors office, changes the charter re. quirements which he has been fulfilling. All of which seems logical enough. We presume the court will settle the Issue on the basis not alone of precedent, put intent of the charter.

 We could do that in Waterbury saying lt is going Go be necessary to impose tax of eight or nine mills in the coming year Go raise enough money to cover the School Departments approved appropriation of $1, 1,104, ,04S.60. Instead of that we simply propose tax rate of Sl mills, sufficient unto the needs of not merely the School Department, but all other departments. Breaking down appropriations into mill rates is informative, but doesn't change the situation very much.

Blind War Hatreds

A last, far-away echo of the madness of World War days came across the sea the other day in the shape of cablegram announcing that Ernest Lissauer had died in Vienna. Ernest Lissauer, in case you have forgotten, Is the man who wrote the famous Hymn of Hate" which Ger mans used between 1914 tid 1913 as Q vehicle for their dislike of England ana the English His life Is over now, ana he surely leaves as odd a claim to the remembrance of his story as any man aould ask for.
 For Lissauer was sorry he ever wrote the "Eymn" Even before the war had ended, he had switched away from reel. ing of despair hatred to Q hope that the enemies might become reconciled' Alter Ahe war he devoted himself to the cause of pacifism. When Hitler came to power Lissauer moved to Vienna so that nc could go on writing his anti-war plays without interference
 Tn 1914, Llssauer was plump, .good' natured man with rising reputation as a poet. He had never been in England, had never seen an Englishman, Knew nothing about the country; but one day, a month or SO after the war broke out, he was sitting with group Of journalists in Q Hamburg cafe when news came that England had held up an American ship which was bring hospital supplies 10 Germany. This touched some spring ln the poets breast. Ills indignation over: flowed, he grabbed pencil and paper, ana in Q short time the Hymn of Hate" was written, One of the Journalists took tt with him; presently 1t got published, ana before long 1t had swept afl of Germany.
 The kaiser decorated Llssauer with the Order of the Red Eagle fourth class. Newspapers in all the Central Powers reprinted the poem. It appeared in America. The English themselves re. printed 1t, made fun of it, and used 1t to bolster their own warborn hatred Of the Germans All In all, 1t was e perfect symbol of the madness Of the universal war spirit.
 Lissauer, meanwhile, was having ms second thoughts. In less than 0 year nc was joining in c campaign against in- cluding the poem In books for children. By iOi8 he was actively working for reconciliation with England. After the war ended he worked heart and soul Tor pacfism. But he never could catch up with himself; aS long as his name IS remembered, 1t wil lbe remembered aS the name of c man who burst out with c terrible cry of hatred
 Is 1t stretching things too much to suggest that what happened to LisSauer was only what happened to oil of us, in lesser degree, during the wars madnesS2 Like him, we gave way to hatred; hating the frightful things that happen in war. time, was hated certain peoples, and not war itself. Afterward, like Lissauer, we realized that our hatred had been mad, fantastic - and we got over 1t and felt ashamed of 1t. The tragedy was that We came to our senses too late.

Hartford Weighs It

Up in Hartford officials are considering imposing two taxes in the coming fiscal year. The sum total would not greatly exceed the present rate of taxation If it actually Is any higher. But these offi- cials feel that by breaking the rate up into two parts the taxpayers may have a better idea of where their money IS going. And SO they propose that moneys to Do raised for the Department Of Education budget would be cared for by one tax, while oil other civic expenses would Do grouped under another.
 Hartford's leaders figure that in the coming year it will be necessary to divert revenue produced by 12-inill tax to care for educational needs. But by Segregat. Ing the school tax the city Is virtually creating separate tax district within itself. This 1t sought to eliminate by consolidating school districts With the city proper, this procedure only ending within the last few years, even as t did ID Waterbury. Here the city has had outly. upkeep of school and salaries of employees were financed by c special tax levied or those residing within the district. Hart. ford for 6 good many years maintained its separate school districts with their individual tax rates. While setting Up an individual tax rate for school purposes would not be quite the same to all prac. tical interts as making school districts, it certainly is that in theory. And the saving Is doubtful. If 1t requires SO many mills in taxes to defray school ex. peises, then it is simply question of inc ciuding that much ii1 the total tax rate. The taxpayers can be informed that SO many mills of the tax rate are paying for the school system. but that certainly

A representative group of the State Teachers Association recently issued formal statement In which 1t claimed that teachers pay In this state was uni. formly too low. Under present.day liv. Ing conditions salaries are falling to allow members of the teaching profession to maintain the proper standard which would result in "YaaXinum return to the community in terms of service". Atten. ton was also called in the report to the growing tendency on the part of teachers to take part-tine jobs to supplement earnings from teaching This has been under fire In Waterbury at various times and was somewhat of on issue several years ago. There is 0 feeling, too, that under Mayor Hayes reorganization plan outside work for teachers may be taboo. If that Is the case, then 1t may Do that Waterbury will ultimately become bat. tleground for teachers higher salaries. In view of the increasing demands made on teachers today in the way of outside study and knowledge of advanced methods of instruction, It Is necessary that they be properly recompensed throughout the length of tho school year.

 His daily routine begins with prayers, then reading the news papers, which he insists on doing himself, and includes two Eng lish-lAnguage newspapers in his list. During the day he receives reports from cabinet officers, fre- quently has lunch with one of the younger members of the Foreign Office who keeps him posted on the international situation. He takes on hour off after lunch for either horseback riding or golf.

 Hirohito b the second emperor in Q long and unbgoken line who actually hes taken 6 part In the government of Japan. His grands father Meiji was tho first to break the tradition that the emperor should lead the life Of 6 hermit. Previously the emperor of Japan was loved and reVeged, but had no real power. He Was kept as o mysterious and never.seen ruler, while japan'S powerful feudal lords really ran the country.
 So intense was the feeling thAt the emperor must remain in sacred seclusl0n that Sir Harry Parkos, first British min- ister to Japan, was forced to take with him . guard Of sixty armed men when he presented his credentials Co Che emperor, ln 1868. Despite thls precautlon,
 eleven Of his guards were wounded by Japanese who ob. jected t0 this intrusion, and Che emperor almost lost his throne in Che rebellion which followed.
 Today, tho samo battle is Do. ing fought over again. Hirohito, 'A moderate and intelligent eni. peror, faces tho fate of being boxed In by the extreme nnilltarist group within the army being made Q mere puppot to cloak c com. plotely fascist dictatorship In Ja- pan.
