Does It Drive Away?

Hartford's citizens have been ponder ing for long time threatened increase in their tax rate. A prominent realtor of the city now comes to the fore Wltn a letter. made public, in which he asserts the tax rate is apt to go to B mills. Ihat to Hartfordites is eXorbitant. Down here in Waterbury having come down rom that figure in the last few years it may not appear quite so awesome as all that, although admittedly it is high tax rate, certainly not properly described as ex- orbitant in view of what the modern city is called upon to do for its citizens III the nature of public services today.
 One of the effects of the 33-nill rate m Hartford, according to the realtor, would be departure of factories and businesses to other communities. That's subject which we long have considered highly debatable. We often wondered ii the claims that accompanied high taxes were ever borne out. We don't recall that Waterbury suffered so greatly when US tax rate rose to 40 mills nor that there was a general exodus of business from this city. True we have had factories move from Waterbury to other places but we have had others move m to take thelr places or new plants have been estab- lished.
 Then, too, we don't agree that taxes cause a general migration of home owners to nearby towns where the rates may be lower That argument has been used time and again during local elec- lions. but we never saw any figures pro- duced to bear it out. We know that there are many people, who once resided in Waterbury now living ir such towns as Cheshire, Prospect, Wolcott, Watertown, Middlebury, Woodbury, and Naugatuck. But we use the expression, many, we certainly don't put the actual figures away up in the thousands.
 Some of these suburbanites took up their residences elsewhere for reasons other than taxes; some of them departed just to escape the taxes. But we still believe that the argument that an increase in the tax rate, such as Hartford fears, will cause general departure from the city of factories, business houses, ana property owners rarely holds true.

The Special Interests

Banks and factories in Waterbury were referred to as special interests" in a recent communication received by the Board of Finance relative to it's taking action to prevent the number of unem- ployed in Waterbury increasing. The general idea of preventing unemploy- ment is worthwhile one. All of us sub scribe to it. We imagine that banks and factories are as concerned about lack of employment as any other forms ol business But we don't think 1t is Wlse any longer to single out particular branches of private enterprise as deSerV- ing the lash, marked special interests
 That has an identification tag which is supposed to set the particular business aside as if it were pariash. Of recent years there has been much said about Especial interests" It would be all right only most of the special intc@,gts" that are eventually singled out prove to have a very common interest in community life. We don't know what would become of Waterbury without it's banks and it's factories After all great number of people are employed in them the year round; many more for part time.
 We do not propose to offer any defense for banks and factories in this city or any other They comprise part of our com munity life and if we put them on the sidelines as special interest opposed to the common interest, then we're simply getting around to the point where We claim that one-half the world owes the other half living And when we do that we're moving towards the socialistic state which owes all of us living. That's somewhat opposed to the ideas to which most Americans are heirs. If special interests" have done much to hedge us in, then they must assume the blame and shoulder much of the responsibility of restoring normalcy We think there is a noticeable trend in that direction today.

Check on Private Arms

Congress may as we'll go ahead and pass the bill for registering private arma- ment that has been hanging fire in the House Ways and Means Committee The lawmakers won't be taking any serious chances in the next election if they do. A national poll shows that voters are more than five to one in favor of it.
 This would be federal registration of pistols and revolverS. It is plain that the fright to bear arms' guaranteed in the Constitution is not infringed, because there is no prohibition of arms - merely check on them to help in the war against criminals. The names of people buying such weapons would be on record, to help Identification. The registration would not hurt them. There is probably justification, too, for the requirement. that in case of resale the new purchasers shall be fingerprinted. It would be an added check on purchase for criminal purposes
 This is getting at the robbery and murder problem directly. Nearly all such crimes are committed with firearms The civilized thing is to shut off the gun sup ply from those who make war on society.

This is the first spring in Connecticut that state politics has been as dormant as it is. Of course that's due chiefly to the grand jury probes that have been and still are disturbing political groups and individuals. There probably won't be much attempt made to discuss actual plans for the biennial fall battle until the echoes of Waterbury's probes has died away. And there is talk in some quarters that the echoes may not have died away by convention time. There are those who are unkind enough to assert that the present probe may be carried along right up to election time. That sounds like remote possibility.

Ohio once was referred to as the birth place of presidents, but of late years it's prestige has somewhat suffered Now we find the state once more back in the limelight with full-fledged campaign afoot. Ohio is behind it's governor, Mar tin Luther Davey for President. Now we don't vouch for the entire state, because Ohio has the habit of rarin' up now and then and setting down favorable sons And if we recall correctly Governor Davey hasn't been the fair-haired boy in his home state that this presidential boom would imply. However, that needn't deter any Democrats from getting aboard the bandwagon of the tree-surgeon gov- ernor. He's well acquainted with our government. He served four terms in Congress, has been mayor of his home town of Kent, and will end four years as governor on next January 9th. He's not New Dealer, but is born fighter and likes politics. Just keep his name in mind. He may not make the White House, but he's potential occupant.

Selassie Pays His Dues

The secretary general of the League Of Nations returned to his desk in Geneva the other morning to find upon it check from Halle Seassie. The amount was $500 gold francs. It was token pay ment on Ethiopia's back dues, now 117,000 gold francs.
 The secretary general was embarrassed He had just returned from England and brought with him, presumably, the Brit ish formula for easing out Halle Selassie permanently in favor of an Italian emperor of Ethiopia. Instead of deposit ing the check promptly, as is customary, the secretary general is waiting for fur ther instructions or for inspiration and

been appointed postmistress of Wilson after the millinery ven- ture, put young Josephus and his brothers to work about the post office. JOsephus's job was to light fires in winter and act as janitor. When he became older, he helped distribute mail and waited on the money order and general delivery window.
 Then he got permission to set up a little newsstand in a corner of the post office lobby, and this gave him private income. At the age of 18, Daniels had become ed- itor of The Wilson Advance, and from that day to this he never has lost touch with his career as a newspaperman. To the South he has been what William Allen White has been to the Middle West.
 September Morn"
 Through his triumphs and his trials, the personal affection which "JoscE nus" held for "Ad- die," the lady who now marks 50 years at his side, was as constant as it was touching. Perhaps it was built as much upon a sense of humof, mutually enjoyed, as upon anything else. At least Addie is as ready to tell stories on Jose phls as he is to tell stories on her.
 One that comes out of the fam- fly chit-chat is what she calls "the September Morn story" Daniels was invited by a society of naval architects to come to New York to address their annual dinner. He took Mrs. Daniels along, staying at the old Wal dorf-Astoria Hotel.
 Next morning, when the Sec retary of the Navy prepared to take a bath, he was unable to regulate the new-fangled drain at the head of the bath tub. Before he knew it, the tub was 0verfl0wing. with water covering the bathroom floor. In desperation, Daniels called to his wife. Ring for the boy" he yelled, "ring for the boy!"
 Mrs. Daniels pushed button, but when the door opened, it was the maid who came bursting into the room.
 You should have seen Jose phus," Addie says. "Thcre was a big armchair in the corner of the bedroom, and he ran and hid behind it. Cr0uching over there, he looked just like Sep tcmber M0rn!"

NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE

tributlng i:leir criticisH:s and 50 has labor itself. The petition to Con- gress of the seven independent la- bor union, aggregating 100000 mem- berS, that it "cut the abuses out of the Wagner act and abolish the present labor board" is simply confirmation Of the fact establish cd by the Fortune" poll that the national community as whole, M- cluding labor, is heartily sick of a regime which has promoted the fortunes of lawless labor leaders at enormous expense to industry and the great bulk iof it's workers.
 Will Congress treat this barrage as idle chatter? We have said be- fore in these columns that 1t should boost amendment of the Wagner act and the reconstruction of the labor board to the top of its list of re- covery measures. Not only is the law, with it's one-Way provisions aimed solely at the employer, a patent travesty on justice, but the labor board, on it's own admission, stands convicted of compromising the injustice of the act with unfair procedure. The result has been in dustrial strife and stagnation. To quote the petition of the seven unions, the law, "as administered by the partisan members and sub ordinates of the National Labor Re lations Board, has done more, in our opinion, to dig this pit of de- pression and bury labor in 1t than anything else" So 1t has, and until 1t is rewritten to make labor equally responsible with the employer for fair practice, until the agency ad- ministering it is composed of im- partial umpires held to a strictly judicial interpretation of their du- ties, business will continue to re- sist expansion and unemployment will increase. "The situation," MT. Knudsen has said, "cannot go on in the long run, and I have every confidence that 1t will be changed" 1" We share his confidence, but the point is that for every day that Congress delays the country suffers, The change should come now.
