VOICES REGRET ON CURTA|LMENT
Senator LOnergan Inter- ested in Program Af-
 fecting State CCC

Washington, D. C.. March EEK pressing regret at temporary curtail- ment of Civilian Conservation Camp activities, due to the administra- tion's economy program, Senator Lonergan CD). Conn. predicted to- day that the organization will ulti- mately become permanent part of the government.
 The closing of two more camps in Connecticut, in Litchfleld and Tol- land counties, Senator Lonergan said, is the result only of the pres ident's extreme desire to curtail ex- penditures wherever possible this year, so that his budget estimates will be met as nearly as possible.
 The Emergency Conservation pro- gram was one of the presidents fla vorite projects, Senator Lonergan said, and congress has also ex- pressed approval by continuing the program until 1940. Before that time a. measure will no doubt be intro duced to make the program per- manent, he said.
 The senator's statement was pre- pared for publication in Happy Days, official periodical of the eco, which will observe the fifth anni- versary of the corps with a special issue on March thirty first.

TONE TO ADDRESS
 STATE ENGINEERS
Connecticut Society to Gather at Race Brook
 Country Club Saturday

The annual meeting of The Con- 1ecticut Society of Professional En- yineerS will be held at Race Brook Country club, Orange, Connecticut, ,n Saturday, March 26, 1938.
 There will be two SeSsions-the first in the afternoon, for the pur- pose of transacting the society buSl- ness and the election of officers for the ensuing year, and an evening session, to which all registered pro- fessional engineers are invited, whether or not they belong to the society. At the latter session, which will start with a dinner served by the club, there will be two out standing guest speakers.
 Tone to Speak
 Allen Hubbard, president Of the society, has arranged to have State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone speak on the relation of his depart ment, in it's handling of labor and unemployment insurance problems, with the professional engineers, who IS frequently on the employment side of the many questions now con- fronting it.
 Because of the unemployment in- surance law going into effect with so many men and women unem- ployed, MT. Tones entire staff has been forced to work days, nights, week-ends and Sundays in an at tempt to get out the hundreds of thousands of unemployment checks.
 The problems of his Department are tremendous and the outline Of the work being done by him and his aides is of great importance to the Professional Engineer.
 The second speaker of the evening will be Harry Marsh, Director of Personnel of the State of Connec- ticut. The Personnel Department set up by the last session of the General Assembly has caused wide spread comment in the State, eS- pecially among engineers. The gov- emor of the state, in going outside of Connecticut to procure a com missioner to handle this new and important division of the state gCv- ernment, disappointed a great num- Der of his followers. However, his selection of MT. Marsh seems to have been an excellent one and the manner in which the examinations have been held to date has appar- ently justified his choice. s q

DUBIOUS HONOR

A man high in the circle of govern
ment remarked some few years ago that
this country "didn't know what it was to
be taxed" Compared with the burden in
other countries, such as England, he OBJ
served, ours was ridiculously light.
Perhaps that might have been true
then, but current per capita tax figures
show how unquestionably that we Ameri-
eans-at long last, perhaps-pride our
selves in having lifted the tax paying lau-
rels from our British cousins.
Along about the time when we were
being treasured by this man of government
position that ours was indeed a lighter
burden, the per capita tax rate in the Unit
ed Kingdom was S92 per year, as compar-
ed to our per capita rate of SIS per year.
But that was some few years ago.
Today the approximately 1885, 900 sep
arate taxing agencies of government in
America drain yearly average of about
S104 from the pockets of every man, wom-
an and child in America.
The crown of thUrns is now oursi

VACATIONS AND TAXES

The American Automobile Association
estimates that AZ, 200, 900 persons in this
country annually take vacation motor
trip at cost of about 800 per individual.
Adding to these figures the ZOO, 900 peo-
pie who travel on pleasure excursions by
rail the New York Times calculates that
vacation Trips. in the United Estates cost
around sb.00S. boo .506U u llCllI
The exact figure is not important but
it is interesting to realize that despite all
the talk about high taxes the sum repre-
sents more than the collection of all local
taxes in this nation, twice the estimated
taxation by State governments and two
fifth of all tax collections in the country.
Evidently the taxpayer is not yet broke
and the nation has surplus funds with
which to enjoy life. 1t is we'll to realize
this and to remember that taxation is not
vicious if the proceeds are wisely and in
diligently expended in the public interest.
