Many Ways
To Tighten
Chores
Bv JEAN GREEN

After a hard day at the Of.
flee, the thought of cooking has
little appeal. In order to make
it as pleasant as possible, try
shortcuts in meal preparation.
See that your kitchen is kept
as cool as possible, change to a
cool dress or apron before you
start cooking.
Conserve your energy by think
ing ahead on your meal planning.
On hot days a two-day cooking
schedule Is necessity.
Gelatine salads and desserts can
be prepared in the refrigerator and
served with an attractive garniSh
or sauce. Meat dishes can be pre-
pared in quantities so that they
can be served on the following day.
Cup cakes have many uses. One
housewife always makes up whole
recipe of cup cakes even though
there are only two in her family.
She serves them the first night
with fresh raSpberrieS, the second
night iced with a simple contec-
toners sugar froSting, and the last
night served with chocolate fudge
sauce.
MADE IN ADVANCE
The pie shells for chiffon pies
can also be made in quantities
and used as needed.
Grilled dinners are always popu-
lar in summer. These take little
time to prepare yet are filling and
quite simple to serve. Any tender
cut of meat can be used for this.
Vegetables of the tuber variety
broil best. The vegetables should
be parboiled until almost tender
before being broiled.
Canned pineapple is also a good
companion with the grilled dinner.
The pineapple can be Sprinkled
with brown sugar, and dotted with
butter, and broiled along with the
meat and vegetables. For variety
use a prune in the center stuffed
with meat or a square of cheese.
A mushroom cap, a large stuffed
olive, or spoonful of jelly can be
used.
Small tomatoes filled tn
crushed pineappe and dotted with
butter and broiled are novel. Sliced
tomatoes are delicious broiled. For
variety, top them with chopped
bacon and sprinkle with grated
cheese. These menus reject the
two-dayx cooking idea.

them to bear more than their share of txation, constitutes a misuse of trusteed revenue, and eventually leads to niglect of the highway system, or excessive taxation, or both. The results of diversion in the states where 1t has occurred have been so obnoxious that many of them in recent years have under taken to erect legal barriers against the practice.
 colorado, Kansas, Minnesota and Missouri have adopted constitution al amendments to prevent the prac- tice. In our neighbor state, Massa- chusetts, the first steps toward the adoption of an amendment of this kind have been taken. Another New England state, Maine, last fall by a majority of 3 1-2 to adopted a referendum law prohibiting use of motor tax money for any other purpose than highways.
 Public OpiOniOn
 "Since the first of the year the legislature of Indiana adopted a joint resolution as the first step in the adoption of a constitutional amendment, while Alabama and North Dakota have passed laws similar to that of Maine. Public opinion is against diversion of roads funds everywhere, so let us not be- gin the practice in Connecticut"

tax studies have shown that every lc increase in the gasoline tax reduceh motor travel by 5 per cent.
 6. A higher tax would encourage tax evasion. The investigation and prosecution of tax evasion is both costly and difficult, and Connec- ticut will do well not to put temptation in the way.of the tax evader.
 For Roads Only
 When Connecticut enacted its gasoline bill in 1921, the law speci- fically stated that. the receipts should be used exclusively for road improvement" Mir. Wallace declared. This followed the recognized prin- ciples of taxation incorporated in the gasoline tax laws of other states. The gasoline tax was intended as a use tax, the amount paid depend- ing upon the amount the motorist used the roads.2 In the same way the user of water of electricity pays according to the amount he uses. To tax of this kind, the motorists of the state willingly acquiesced.
 But now an increase in the gaso- line tax is proposed, not for roads, but for general use. It applies not to the people as whole, but to a single class. The motorists of the state are called upon to pay special assessment to help balance the budget, merely because they are motorists.
 General Tax
 Economists are generally agreed that the proper method of raising money for the general funds is through taxes paid by everyone, or taxes paid in accordance with cit izen's ability to pay. Yet the gaso- line tax falls in neither of these classifications. It is paid by less than one-fourth of the people and it falls not on the rich, but on the lower middle class.
 "A study made by the U. s. De- partment of Commerce indicates that one-third of the automobiles in operation are owned by families with an income of less than $1,000 a year, and three-fourths by fam flies with an income of less than $2,O0O. In other words, one-third of the families owning automobiles have incomes of less than $20 a week. It is obvious then that tax on motorists is not based on any superior ability to pay.
 Diversion Protested

Democrat Legislative RepOrter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, May 18th Especial to The Democrat)-Mo- torists of Connecticut will not have to pay an extra cent tax on gasoline if the finance committee of the legislature has its way. Hearing on the governors proposal to increase the levy on gasoline from 3 to 4 cents per gallon took place yester- day afternoon in the senate cham Der with Senator Joseph P. Cooney of Hartford presiding. Attorney Patrick Healey of Waterbury was among those speaking against the proposed raise in the tax. He de- clared that the rnotorist is bur- dened enough now and should not be made to shoulder any more re- responsibilities.
 Mahaney Protests
 Representative Daniel J. Ma nancy of Waterbury also appeared in opposition to the plan to increase the gasoline tax. There are other ways in which to raise money" he declared. Tax unearned income, the money received on interest and dividends. You'll get more there without hitting the motorists any further" he said.
 Many speakers registered in op- position to the plan. There was mo- body in favor of it. A general idea of the opposition's views is obtained from the statement to the commit tee by Ned Wallace, general man. ager of the Hartford Automobile club. He said that the people of Connecticut would prefer strict economy to new taxes.
 MT. Wallace estimated motor ve- hicle owners last year paid about 58 per cent of all the taves col- lected by the state. He arrived at this figure by adding the amounts motorists paid into the general treasury of the state to the gasoline taxes, registration fees and other motor behicle levies paid for high ways.
 Paid Millions
 Motorists paid about 1872 million dollars in highway taxes, he said, and they paid about 4 million dol- lars more to the state in the form of inheritance, property and other non- highway taxes, making their total payments toward state ex- penses to $17,50O, 900. Aren't motor ists paying enough already, without asking them to contribute another $2,50O, ,000?" he asked.
 MT. Wallace cited six other req

sons, why the increase in the gaso line tax should not be enacted.
 l. It would increase the average Connecticut motorists tax bill to $50 a year, nearly one-fourth the value of the average automobile.
 2. It would raise the sales tax on gasoline, a necessary commod- ity, to 35 per cent of the price exclusive of state and federal taxes.
 3. Use of gasoline tax receipts for budget balancing purposes would open wide the fiood-gates of, diversion, a practice considered SO dangerous that four states have passed constitutional amend ments and another four have passed laws prohibiting the use of gasoline tax or registration re- ceipts for any purpose other than for use on highways.
 4. Strict economy is preferable to higher taxes as means of balancing the states budget.
 5. A higher gasoline tax would hamper Connecticut business in that there would be a reduction in travel both by people in the state and people from outside the state. In collaboration of this statement,

Much Of Congress Mail These Days
 Favors National
 Ballot On War

Washington, May 19--Only tiny dribble of the mail now coming to Congress from its constituents men, tions the Supreme Court.
 The largest patches of it have to do with issues 10 war and peace. The volume isn't anywhere near as large as the Supreme Court mail of a few weeks ago, but it is persistent and substantial.
 Highest on the mail count, among the three main issues in the war peace field, is the resolution of Congressman Louis Ludlow for a referendum on declarations of war and for the elimination of war pro- fits. Nearly all the letters being received are in favor of it.
 LudIow's proposed amendment would make the power of Congress to declare war contingent upon a popular referendum, except in the event of an invasion of the United states or it's territorial possessions which involved attack on Ameri- can citizens. Congress, when it deemed a national crisis to exist, could refer for 8 national popu- lar vote the question, Shall the
 United States declare war on -" Without 3 favorable vote, war couldn't be declared.
 Upon declaration of war the President would be required im- mediately to conscript "all the pub. lie and private war properties yards, factories and supplies" fix ing compensation at not more than 4 per cent on tax values.
 Ludlow has 100 signatures for petition to discharge the resolution from the House Judiciary Commit tee, but 218 are required.
 The other measures are the Sheppard-Hill bill, which gives the President power to establish an eco- homie dictatorship in case of de- claration of war, and the Nye- Kvale bill, which would deny fed eral funds to land grant colleges where military training is made compulsory rather than optional. Most mail is in opposition to the former bill and in favor of the lat ter

We part from you at that with regret As local locomotion you've been our best bet In sloppy weather we you at the corner stop In your many years running you've not exactly been op
 For pleasure we miles and miles of tracks You came in the gay ninees days of cabs and hacks
 How often stormy you have stopped between poles To pick up lone lorn and discouraged souls Motormen with hearts gave you many a break As you sprint and the final leap take Your noise has often jared our ears, Now your day is done admit with tears; You no longer round the bend cumbersome and yellow And carry to work a hard working fellow. You're done finished without complaint or fuss, And tomorrow at the corner we mount a bus.

Card Showers Continue

The Washington social season is tapering of to it's end, and one of ias most conspicuous flops has been the clarion call from Congressman Hamilton Fish of New York, last January, for an end to the custom through which socially wo- men shower the city with their calling cards.
 The custom is still going strong. It developed that the women either just loved it too much or didn't have anything better to do.

That Court Story

No one could ever add up all the Supreme Court mail and analyze it but there seems no question that the great bulk of it was in opposi- tion to the Presidents plan.
 There are two stock stories. one of which you will hear in almost any senator's office, which run virtually as follows:
 Opponent: "Out of every hum dred letters I received during the first reaction period, only about four favored the plan."
 Proponent: T was amazed at the deluge of letters against the plan Then I checked the names witf people back home and found that about 95 out of 100 came from republicans"
