Very Serious Business

Organs of the Republican party ot Waterbury and the official CD spokes- man for the Republican-controlled of- flee of Controller of the City of Water bury seem to think that the Waterbury Democrat finds the present situation rather amusing. It, thereupon, proceeds to unburden itself of a serious story the moral being the familiar one about the last laugh. All of which is rather beside the question. The Waterbury Democrat is as fully aware as any man that thlS IS no time to trample on the taxpayers feelings.
 It is also no time to make political strongholds And that apparently is one purpose of the g. o. p. high command. Political football is made of many things -drapes in the Controllers office and legal fees paid out to fight cases brought by and through political organizations because waging such suits would no doubt prove embarrassing to the admin ::z.-ation of Mayor Frank Hayes at an inopportune moment. The obvious intent of all the fuss and stir is not so much to find out the financial rating of the city right now as to do bit of besmlrching. In this respect the present campaign IS consistent with those of the past several years.
 There seems to be an eagerness on the part of various Republicans to "get" omebody or something. If this attitude lad not been adopted, then it certainly would not be necessary for the Democrat to secure such information as it desired or to procure such facts as it sought for in roundabout fashion Denied all but one formal statement from the office of the Controller, we can't help but feel that were the Republicans of the city sincere in their efforts to cooperate with Dem- ocrats in providing good government, they might present such facts as they obtain from cursory examination of the Controllers records as items to be ex- plained or studied further, rather than as material to damn man.

Lonergan Again

On the basis of remarks by Democratic leaders throughout the state this week it is as good as guaranteed that Senator Augustine Lonergan of Hartford will be, renominated at the state convention next September. denomination in his own par ticular instance, too, should be practi- cally equivalent to reelection. If that is the case the senator from Hartford will have established another record He was the first Democrat to be elected to the Senate from this state in half century. He will, if elected, make that record doubly applicable.
 Practically every democratic mayor in the state, as well as the governor, heads of the Democratic State Central Commit tee, and members of the national com mittee endorsed Senator Lonergan this week. In all their remarks on his can didacy there was no loophole for escape should these officials desire at some future date to align themselves with some other candidacy. It looks, though, as if this public eSpousal of Senator Lon ergan in such whole-hearted and unan- imous fashion had Stale-mated any po- tential booms for Democratic aSpirants.
 In 1887 there were rumors that various individuals might contest Senator Lon ergans right for renomination. On the basis of his record as senator and as a national legislator we cannot see the reason or logic behind any such con- templated movement. Were he deSirouS of retirement or was he so far apart from the national administrations policies, there might be cause for dissension. But his record is there for all to sec Last Sat- urday night he emphasized his stand on national issues and President Roosevelt's s New Deal. The senior senator looms as a winner at this early writing.

Electric Tomatoes

Not only is artificial light used now to make hens lay more eggs, but to increase vegetable production. It is applied now with surprising success in some of the northern states with greenhouse toma- toes. A horticulturist tells of one subur- ban area, having an unusual develop ment of winter vegetable production, that has increased the tomato yield nearly 5000 baskets an acre by this means. The electric lights are turned on about 5 p. m. this time of year, and off at to give the plants a reasonable nights sleep, then on again from a. m. till daylight.
 This procedure makes use of a prin- ciple that nature has been using for millions of years. The agricultural re- gions of the Far North, tl1e Canadian wheat fields of the Northwest, for ex- ample, have short summer but long summer days With only four or five hours of darkness in the growing season, they can do about as well as our wheat states much farther south Migrating birds, scientists have discovered, make use of the same principle, going far north to get some daylight in the mating sea- son, thus gaining more time to gather more worms to raise more children.

Less Coffee

Here is a curious fact, blamed on the business recession The consumption of coffee declined per cent in the United States and 48 per cent throughout the world in the last half of 1887. It is not clear why this should be attributed wholly to business decline any more than to war or to the disrupted condition Of world trade.
 Whatever the causes, the fact is blow to the growers of Brazil and other coffee producing countries. For some years they have had surplus which has been knotty problem to governments and growers alike. Marketing schemes, subsidies, destruction of large amounts of coffee, have all been tried, without suc- cess. If now the consumption of coffee is to decrease, the problem will be even more acute.
 It is reported, on the other hand, that the worlds visible supply of coffee, ex- elusive of that in the interior of Brazil, fell about IO.6 per cent last year. Such

Selected Poem
HISTORICAL FOOTNOTE

(John Shields in the New York Times) In the days when the Prussian commander Sailed forth to the war in the West And Otto, the court saamander, Was burned to cinder at Brest There came from the East like an eagle Who circles and swoops on its prey Mustapha Ben Ali the Kleagle, And Ahmed, Son of Bey. Came down with a host from the mountain And plundered the lands of the King And bathed in His Majestys fountain And left with His Majestys ring Came then from the North like blizzard host of barbarianS bold
 Who cut out His Majesty's gizzard And left with His Majestys gold Then up from the South like lion Who leaps for the prey he has seen Came Sanchez and Pedro O'Brien And left with His Majesty's queen Game back from the West with his pl,lnder The PruSSian Commander Unstedt And no one had reason to wonder Why His Majesty chopped off his head

The first address of the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin in his new radio series was well received by thousands of listeners all over the country. He was restrained speaker, but one, nevertheless, who was just as determined as he ever has been to insist on proper government in this nation and recognition for the masses. There were no impassioned outbursts in last Sundays talk, but there was log ical presentation of facts He urged among other things complete cooperation between labor and capital something we lack at the present moment and which must be arrived at shortly if progress is to be made in the field of social work
 Recognition of the CIO-A.F of L. labor battle was given. Speedy settlement of the differences for the betterment of the working class of people was his recom- mendation, just as it is that of almost every public-minded citizen. We antici- pate some worthwhile advice from Father Coughlin throughout the winter months

Britain is up in arms. The average Britisher is aroused only once every five years or so. Now the tempest is pro- duced by the plan to substitute for church bell-ringers ''canned music'. Synthetic peals were produced on Christmas Day in one church and the bell-ringers dropped full staff of notes, so bewildered and taken back were they. "Our belfries, our bellrlngers are among the glories of old England" was the way one vicar put it. Looks like battle royal to preserve an old tradition

A Book a Day
BY BRUCE CATION


 In her new book, This Troubled World" (Kinsey: $D, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt touches on a point that must have occurred to every thoughtful citizen often enough, of late. She says that there are times when she reads her morning news paper with feeling of desperation
 There is blood on the moon, in short, and the peoples of the world have the look of bands arming for the last great battle in the west; and in this book Mrs. Roosevelt museS on the situation and searches for a way by which mankind can escape destruction.
 She has examined peace plans without number, she says, and none of them seems to be worth much more than the paper it is written on. For if peace on earth is to come to men of good will, it must come by men of good will, also; and the sad fact is that few of us carry our proper cargo of good will also; and the sad fact is that few of us carry our proper cargo of good will these days, or ever have carried it.
 And so while she suggests certain emergency measures: na- tionalization of arms manufacture disarmament treaties, mediation plans, and so on-She arrives at the conclusion that the attainment of world peace is fundamentally a matter of changing human na- ture. We must reform ourselves, before we can start reforming our world.
 Is the task impossible? Mrs. Roosevelt has the good sense to see that 1t is not. Civilized man has been changing human nature ever since he stopped eating his grand father. It.1S a hard job and long one, but it can be done; and until it is done, there will be no certainty of peace.
 "rhis Troubled World" is slim little book, but a wise and good one. The material in it has not, by the way, been published before.

The Salary List Internal Revenue Figures Often Misleading Early Repeal of Publicity Provision Is Sought
NEW YORK TIMES

Because it has officially been made matter of public record, the press Of the country has been publishing long lists of persons receiving cor poration salaries of more than $15,- 900 a year. This information is com piled and made public by the trea- sury in accordance with Section 148-d of the Revenue Act of 1884.
 AS we pointed out in these col umns a year ago, not single use ful purpose is served by this provision. It is an invasion of priv acy. It foments envy and ill-will among neighbors. It satisfies only an idle and malicious curiosity. It creates, in effect, an official sucker list" of which advantage is taken by all sorts of promoters and racketeers.
 In addition to all this, as we have previously pointed out, the list is ex- tremely misleading in the impression that it gives. Most readers are apt to assume that the amount pub lished against each name represents the actual or comparative income of that person. Neither assumption is correct. What the amount really
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-01-13

represents is the salary, commits sion, bonus, or other compensation for personal services rendered" paid bya corporation. In some cases this compensation represents an execu- tive's entire income. In other cases it represents only part of that in- come; 1t does not include what he receives in the form of dividends. interest, rents or royalties from the corporation or other sources. If a mans income, no matter how great, exists entirely in the form of divi- dendS and interest, it does not ap- pear on this list at all. Nor does the income of unincorporated business men, or of professional men, unless a doctor or lawyer happens to re- ceive more than $15,000 from some ones corporation. The list misleads the average reader again in that it does not show what is left after income tax deduction. A man with listed income of $50O,00O a year, for example, will pay a federal tax alone in excess of $300,000, while out of the less than $20O,0O0 left his state tax may take another bite of $35,000 or $40,00O, leaving him a real net amount of about $16OOOO.
 Though the provision requiring publicity is inserted in an income tax law, it furnishes no additional information whatever to the Rev enue Bureau itself, which always demanded and received this infor- nation. The only argument for the governments compiling and pub- fishing this list that is even plausi- ble is that the stockholder has a right to know what compensation the officers of his company are re- ceivlng But he already has this under a regulation q. T. 2645) giv- ing any bona f1de shareholder own ing l per cent or more of the stock of a corporation the right to exam inc the tax return of that corpora tion upon request.
 The House of Representatives, let it be said to its great credit, cast a provision last April. Let us hope two to one vote for the repeal of this that the Senate is now ready to follow suit.

PresSCOmment'
THE IMPORTANT PART OF IT
(Hartford Times

Popular interest in the report which Public Works Commissioner Hurley has made about the State Highway Department probably cen- ters largely upon the charges which he makes of mal- and misadminis- tration. The sensational always att tracts public notice.
 More important are his construc- tive suggestions regarding the reor- ganization of the department, in- creasing its ability. to build roads. What has happened in the past is largely a matter of spilled milk. Whatever is done about that cannot give Connecticut any miles or roads that might have been built if Com missioner Hurley's present plans had been the departments plans.
 However. If the past is gone, the present is here and the future im- mediately at hand. If Connecticut, without increasing taxes or fees. can make S4,650,000 available annually for new road construction instead of $1 ,220,000, it cannot too quickly be about it.
 
 Commissioner Hurley may or may not be right in his estimates He may have an overoptim;stic view Of what can be done with funds at the disposal of the department. He has. certainly. placed himself in the position popuuarly known as "on the spot" He must be aware of that and aware of the probability that his prediction would be put to test. under his own or other leader ship
 So he would hardly have offered his recommendations carelessly. He has demonstrated ability enough as Public Works Commissioner thus far so that his estimates inspire con- fidence to urge that there should not be a moments unnecessary delay about starting to work toward re- suit expected to increase the new road building money by nearly four fold.
