NEW HAVEN MAN
 RECOVERS WATCH
Local Woman Finds Poe.
 ketbook With Time.Piece on Post Road

Fear of pickpockets at the New
 York Worlds Fair caused Herman Hiemovich Of New Haven to hide his
 gold watch deep in his wife's purse Labor day. The next day Hiemo. vich reported to New Haven police that his wife lost the watch along with her purse. The gold watch. however. thanks to the watchful eyes of Marie Hur- teau. of Waterbury, private inycsti- gator, now hangs from Hiemo- vich's chain.
 The story. as related by Lieut.. William ?. Pollard, of the local de- tective bureau, runs briefly as fol- lows:
 Marie Hurteau found the purse late on Labor day on the Boston Post road, near Milford. and re- ported her find to local police head quarters after waiting a few days for an advertisement. Police got busy on the teietype and shortly
 thereafter received . call from New Haven.
 Hiemovich came to Waterbury yes- terday and Identified purse and watch, the later valued at $65. According to Marie Hurteau, she noticed the purse on the road as she
 drove south towards Milford, and 1t was there hours later on the re- turn trip.

NONE OF THEM QUIT
VOLUNTARILY

(Petaluma Argus-Courier)
Removal Of tax exemptions on govern
ment salaries has its attractive features.
1t also has its complications.
One of its attractive features lies III
the fact that a man who IS not on the
government payroll does not see why a
man on the government payroll should
not pay taxes too, on the same KIND OF
income-salaries.
The proposal to remove the exemption
is before congress. Will it pass or will it
not?
Congressmen do not like to see their
own income curtailed, nor do they relish
the complaints which are sure to come
from some of their political appointees
who do not wish to see their income re-
duced.
If they should be reduced, we may
logically expect to see a general move
on the part of the government employees
to get raises to offset the losses. Such
course appears to be in line with the
generally accepted conception of the
working of human nature.
1t is we'll to remember that the gov
ernment employees, recently grown to
considerable proportions, exercise quite
an influence on congressman.
Business Week says the matter Will be
discussed at this session but that pros
poets for adoption of the proposal are
almost, if not quite, nil.
The income of the government would
be increased by about S300,000,000 year
if the proposal were adopted. This would
mean Just that much less to raise by an
increase in taxes.
Congressman would like to see the in
come increased but they don't know
Just what to do about their own losses
or those kicks from their appointees.
Imperial Valley press., 1939-02-05
WHAT WOULD BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN SAY?
(Napa RegiSter)

(Napa Register)
President Roosevelt is an adept in par
rying questions that may have catches
in them. Recently reporter called to
his attention the fact that Nazi Germany
and Soviet Russia have issued official
primers of policy, and asked if some
thing Of the sort clarifying policies OF the
United States might not be desirable.
The President laughingly replied that
he had book of the sayings of BenJa-
min Franklin that was very much up to
date. Checking up on the wisecracks OF
BENJAMIN Franklin, we find that he must
have got under the skin of some OF his
contemporaries connected with the IN
fant republic, and yet some of his with
cisms are not yet outmOded. 1t might be
worth while for the president to leave
his book lying around where his advisers
and members of congress could get
look at it.
Ben said, Away with your expensive
follies and you will not have so much
cause to complain of hard times.
He that goes borrowing, goes sorrow
ing.
"A man, if he knows not how to save
as he gets, may keep his nose on the
grindstOne.
always taking out of the meal-tub,
and never putting in, soon comes to the
bottom.
Our Constitution is in actual opera
tion; everything appears to promise that
it will last; but in this world nothing IS
certain but death and taxes
1T would be thought hard govern
ment that should tax its people one-tenth
part of their time (income) to be en-
ployed in its service
Note: The budget estimate Of the Unit
ed States government recently offered
by the president approximates $4,000,
O00, 900 All other government units
state and local-cost q similar sum. The
income of the American people is esti-
mated at about $63,O00,000 What would
Old Ben say to that?
