There won't be fight over which political party in Connecticut will get top position on the official ballots used in forthcoming elections, but some author ity may be called upon sooner or later to decide the question. The law isn't as specific on the matter as it might be, for it simply says, "The name of the political party polling the largest number of votes for Governor shall be first and the party polling the next largest number of votes for the same office shall be second, and so on." If that was interpreted strictly the Democartic Party could still retain top place on the ballots. But the Demo- crats didn't elect their gubernatorial can- didate this fall, although polling the larg- est number of votes of any of the several political parties involved. The Republi- can candidate, Raymond E. Baldwin, was successful, because he got not only Re- publican votes, bu: Union Party as well. Democrats seem to agree Republicans should top them next time on the ballots. Does the law agree with this unofficial verdict?

street.
 We must have firemen, teachers, police, men, street employees, water employees, health inspectors, and long list of city employees = AND WE MUST HAVE ENOUGH OF THEM TO SERVE US EFFICIENTLY.
 We must not take any risks on the lives, property or education of our popu- lace even in the name of economy.
 A tax dollar spent for necessary pro- lection is dollar well spent.
 Now = there may and undoubtedly are economies that can be effected in our city just as there could be in any of our own individual homes. If so, let us seek them out; consider them carefully apply them slowly and cautiously. But let us not in wave and rush of economy, cut to the quick, impair our municipal service, discard necessary facilities and protection, be unfair to many municipal employees of long and faithful service.
 Griffenhagen and Company are ap- parently endeavoring to do sincere and efficient job of suggesting economies. That is their function = to suggest where money may be saved.
 It is the duty of our Board of Aldermen and Board of Finance to project these economies on the Waterbury picture as they = local citizens = know it best (and better than Griffenhagen and Com pany) and find some middle ground where economy and efficiency can be worked out together and not in conflict.
 It is up to the rest of us to have faith in our chosen representatives and in their efforts to produce economy without loss of needed public service.
 Caution and Patience not criticism and bias - are in order.

NO APPEAL PLANNED
(New Haven Journal -Courier)

(NeW Haven Journal Cour1er)
 Governor Cross decision on the proposed appeal from Judge O'Sulli- vans ruling in the Union party ball. lot controversy is wise and generous. It seems quite likely that the thin edge of votes which weighed the election MT. Baldwin'S way was sup piled him by persons voting the Union party ticket But there is at least room for legal doubt whether Judge O'Sullivan rightfully allowed his name to go on that ballot in the first place. If ballots thus cast for MT. Baldwin were to be found invalid, the election might be cast into doubt and the state into gen. eral chaos. The present Governor therefore abandons the appeal.
 Doubtless there is a delicate legal question involved, as the proponents of appeal insist. Doubtless the valid- ity of the peoples ballot ought to be rigidly maintained But there can be doubt that those who voted the Union ticket were duly qualified electors competent and eager to ex- press a choice. There can be no doubt that MT. Baldwin was that choice. To disenfranchise them, however narrowly, and to throw the state into the. confusion which a successful appeal might precipitate is serious business. We had 8 taste of comparable chaos in the McCook decision of some years back and may welcome the Governors will ingneSS to avoid another.

House to be taken care of with jobs. Roosevelt had purposely delayed filling number of va cancfes open last spring and sum- mer, but now the demand far exceeds the supply and he is hav- ing his troubles explaining this to the boys. Glass Boast
 Virginia's doughty little Sena- tor Carter Glass is boosting that the name of Judge Floyd H. Rob- erts will never come out of the Judiciary Committee of the Sem ate. Roberts was named by the President to the federal bench in Virginia, and Glass is claiming he can kill the appointment.
 Reason for his arlifnus is that Roberts appointment was a dis favor to him and a favor to Vir- giria's Governor Jim Price. Glass and his equally anti-New Deal colleague, Senator Harry Byrd, had urged two other candidates for the judgeship, but Roosevelt disregarded their choices and named Prices friend.
 The showdown will come when Congress convenes, and Glass" boasts that the senate will not be allowed to. vote on Judge Roberts confirmation will be tested.

We were interested to note that hence forth organizations seeking to rent state armories may do so for $1O an evening. This is quite drop from the charge of $50 that has been levied for some years now. Whether or not the authorities who have control over the armories throughout the state will regret this re- mains to be seen. The high tariff did prevent a number of groups from renting the large drill-sheds for such occasions as dances and athletic contests, but by the same token it kept these halls from suffering damage, not to mention wear and tear occasioned by setting up the halls for basketball games and the like. However, where no other adequate facil- ities are available, the low rental fee is a real favor.

STOP ON THE CAUTION LIGHT!
Too Much Economy May Imperil Our Lives and Property

The citizens and taxpayers of our city are naturally interested in the drastic recommendations of Griffenhagen and Company for curtailment of our munich pal departments and activities in the interest of economy. May their interest increase and endure.
 The people very properly desire such economies effected as can be without prejudice to or curtailment of efficient public service.
 But = caution should be the watch word of the hour.
 The pendulum of reform has been known to swing too far in the wrong di- rection.
 There is such a thing as false economy.
 In our zeal to save, our city fathers can, if improperly advised or if urged by uninformed or misinformed public opinion, be penny wise and pound fool ish. The measure of efficiency and economy in municipal government is not "how much it costs'', but "how much service do we get for our tax dollar?"
 In times like these there are plenty of armchair advisers and curb-stone ad- viserS, who, taking advantage of public sentiment for economy will urge meas ures just for the sake of urging them, just for the limelight, without any exper- fence or knowledge to back up their suggestions.
 OUR CITY FATHERS MUST BEWARE OF SUCH CURBSTONE AND ARM CHAIR ADVICE TT IS NOT SOUND!
 Such advisers will be the first to yell when their house is on fire = when their ice-box is looted-when some one hits their Johnny in the -yard-when they break an auto-spring on a rough

A Book a Day
Woman Pioneer In Dakota

It is an earthly, elemental story of the soil that Edith Eudora Kohl has written in the Hand of the Burnt Thigh (Funk and Wagnalls: $3). When you have finished it the dust of a million acres will fill your tonsils and the din of a lottery homestead opening will echo in your ears.
 Which is exactly as it should be for the author was principal character in the drama herself and covered the scene from week to week in her own little prairie paper, the Wand.
 Back in 1907 Edith Kohl and her sister left St. Louis to find a new life in the booming Dakotas. They settled on a lonely home stead near Pierre and spent their first night in a tarpaper shack. So unprepared were they for their rugged adventure that they had not even brought matches. But the morning came and a bright day and the sisters, who had vowed in the darkness to re- buI11 OO 0I. AOuAo du OAAIC, oSehJS0 on-and won. Then in 1908, the land of the burnt thigh, the great sprawling Brule Indian reserva- tion was opened to settlement by government lottery. The sisters moved on there, took a new claim and Edith entered the newspaper business, printing notices of home- stead filings. Later they opened store.
 Came the great rush for the opening of the Rosebud, which is one of the high points of the story. Sixty thousand emigrants mada entry for free land in four days. More than 30,000 poured into the little town of Chamberlain. It was an epic of 20th century pio- neering.
 Edith Kohl saw the rush, the sober days of the settlement, the hard, lean days of drouth and blizzard and depression that fol- lowed. She describes them as she would talk. The result is worthy addition to the saga of the homeSteader.-P. G. F.

Selected Poem
TO THE MARKETS AND MORNING

AAC D tAINO NAOnlNkNU (Charles Malam in the New York Sun) Like blows walking the fallow In hills rocky mad narrow The sharp proved trucks come down To the silent sleeping town. An early waking sparrow On his steel treStle nodding Stirs in the light they break. Like patient horses plodding Cleaving the stony ridges They advance by streets by bridges, By dark and humid furrows Along the cobbled harrows. They tunnel the towers; they stride The granite plowlands hum, A sound of wheels flung wide Where through the shadows they come, Where the granite meadows are taken And towers in silver looming Look down through morning light On barren acres blooming!
