The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-15

leo: and endless series of fair horizons, rich farm land interspersed with tre- mendously busy industrial regions, the whole of it peopled by some of the finest folk who ever drew the breath of life.
 Oh, there are bare spots, of course. We have our share of deserts where nothing will grow; of blighted cut-over areas that ought to be growing trees, of agricultural country that isn't qiute fertile enough to give it's people decent living, of towns whose industries have gone to pot. But in the main, the picture shows country that stood right at the head of the line when the good things were being passed out.
 This picture is worth looking at For if the human race ever got itself into spot where the continued well-being of all the people ought to be assured, the United States of America is that spot. Its soil will grow enough food to feed half the world. Its mines will provide an ir1- finity of raw materials; it has abundant factories to handle them; and it is peopled by smart, active and kindly race.
 What can go wrong permanently wrong - in Setup like that? If we exer- else on little intelligence and ordinary horse sense we ought to be able to keep this country of ours smiling and happy right up to the day of judgment. What ever may be wrong with things today, 1t certainly is nothing that can't be cured if we are willing to think things out and use fair amount of forethought.

War Costs Go On And On

For non-militaristic nation, this country has spent, is spending and will continue to spend lot of money on soldiers, not counting their pay while in active service. Since the American Revo- lution, the government has paid war veterans $21 ,993, ,632,266 in benefits, in- cluding pensions to retired and disabled soldiers.
 On June 30 of this year there were 377,294 World War veterans receiving compensation and pensions, and 174,562 Spanish War veterans. More than 7,O31 Civil War veterans were drawing pensions on that date, and two dependents of SOL diers of the War of 1872, a widow and'a daughter. The only way to avoid war expense is to avoid the war that pre- cedeS it.

Nation Holds Remedy

The vacation touring season is about over now, and some 10000, ,000 Americans are back home again after having had more or less extended look at their coun- try. If they used their eyes and their brains while touring they ought to be in shape to think intelligently about some of the problems the country faces. If there is one thing that impresses itself on thoughtful tourist in this country, it is that the United States is an everlastingly big and an unimaginably rich country That impression doesn't hit you at first It grows, little by little, as you go on travelling.
 You ride through the farm belt-any one of the numerous farm belts - and YOU see vista after vista of fat green farm lands, with bumper crops growing out of rich soil, with well-kept farm houses and big barns, with pleasant villages and neat, up-to-date cities. The people you meet are intelligent, friendly, hard working. decent -- the kind we used to call the salt of the cath. And you casu- ally sum up your impression by remark ing, ''Nice country and nice people around here"
 And then, If you stop to think about 1t, v0ll suddenly realize that it's all like that ~ mile upon mile of 1t, from the Berk- hires to the Cascades and beyond, from ne Minnesota lakes to the Gull of Mex J

edge of Insurance Law Unsur- passed in This Country.
HARTFORD COURANT

laws developmentNfor the protection
 of the public against the practices of unethical organizations.
 But Hartford knew him, not only as an able lawyer and insurance man but as public-spirited citizen who served his adopted city free quently and well. Nor were his serv- ices confined to those of an official nature, though the list of municipal offices he held without recompense is long. In many other ways he served the community and its citi- zens. In recent years, he was one of the moving spirits of the Hart ford School of Law, and he was in no small part responsible for its en- trance into the select membership of approved schools. His charities were many and generous; many a solicitor for philanthropies could testify to his ready response.
 His services to the Roman Cath olic church deserve particular men, ton. He was one of the most .dis- tinguished lay members of the dio- cese, and his services to it have been repeatedly and publicly acknowl- edged. His advice and active assist ance in temporal affairs were always at the command of the church. Serving and honoring his church, he was in turn honored by its digni- taries; the Pope made him a knight of the Order of St. Gregory the Great.
 Advancing years did not affect his vigorous personality and his active, witty mind. Until very recently, he might have passed for a man twenty years his junior. If there were needed proof that age does not bring mental and physi- cal incapacities, MT. Brosmith fur- nished 1t. A gifted insurance coun. sel, a conscientious public servant, a faithful son of his church and a friend to many, MT. Brosmith was a citizen whose memory Hartford will long cherish.

Ellis Parker Butler

Thirty years ago or so Ellis Parker But Ter wrote Pigs Is Pigs" and that seemed to identify him as an outstanding Amer ican humorist. It is said that he did not care to write this work which was mag azine editors idea For the past two years MT. Butler has been living quietly and in poor health. He was recognized hu- morist of exceptional talents. Likewise he was a man of splendid personal qual- ities. He was singularly devoted to his family His death occurred Monday at Williamsville near Great Harrington.
 "Pigs Is Pigs" was by no means his sole contribution to humorous literature. Nonetheless you will have noted in many of the splendid newspaper notices that they read thuswise: "Ellis Parker Butler, author of Pigs Is Pigs 7" His charac- ter Philo Gubb, "detecketuf" was also good reading. He had a somewhat varied career; was poet at the age of six; went to work in spice mill after a year at high school, and subsequently, worked in several stores as clerk. And so he came to New York, where a cruel editor told him to remain but to send his manu- scripts back to where he came from Iowa.
 All told Ellis Parker Butler wrote some thing over thirty books, which may sur prise some who have labored under the delusion that he wrote only one, the in- evitable "Pigs Is Pigs"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-15

It's the same old story and not even disguised by new cast of characters. We refer to the ceaseless effort to prove that Waterbury's tax rate is the highest in the state, which it isn't as the figures plainly show. And also which other large communities wish they had so that they wouldn't be receiving so many complaints from taxpayers about lack of Service, scarcity of improvements, etc. It's even gone to the point now where nearby Ches- hire flaunts it's tax rate in our face as an inducement to have people leave this city and settle out there. Of course their place of employment would still be Wa terbury. Some time we'd like to have computed the rate of removal from Waterbury to Cheshire as compared to the rate of removal from Waterbury to Watertown, where former Brass Cityites have settled. The rate of taxation in Watertown, by the way, is 27 3-4 mills.

A Thought for Today
Very Timely

Mayor Frank Hayes action of Monoay night in asking the Board of Aldermen to authorize him to name Housing Authority was well taken. It was also very timely. Of course some such acton was expected in view of what has taken place in the last month or so. William M. Harris visited Washington as emissary or the mayor and studied the housing pro]- ects being urged under government CO., operation. Upon returning to this city he also made very strong plea for better housing conditions in what he termed the city'S slum areas.
 And this week PWA officials are urg- ing communities all over the nation 10 participate in the governments $526, ,OOO,- 900 program for low-rent dwellings,. Thirty states have laws which enable them to share in federal grants for hous- ing purposes. Connecticut is one of these All that remains to be done is constltu- tion of a local Housing Authority ana establishment of lines of communication between Washington and Waterbury. Inasmuch as completion of any such project is now reckoned at two years IL would seem as if the local Authority would of necessity be urged to work fast.
 Under the present setup any local authority may seek loan from the U. s. Housing Authority to cover 90 per cent of the project The remaining 10 per cent must be furnished by the city, either in actual money or in land. Operating cost, too, may be subsidized by the federal government. Waterbury seems to be ready to tackle the experiment, judging by what MT. Harris says and what Mayor Hayes believes.
 A non-partisan committee here would very likely prove of much assistance just as it did in realigning the city's voting districts.
