With advent of hostilities in
Europe our old friend High Cost
Of Living appeared on the scene
overnight. Food prices have
gone up. The reason for this is
over our heads. We are not in

thing worthy note from the ma
lions at war, and we have had
great SURPRISES of almost every
item of food and on top which
the harvest this year was the
largest in our history. Purely

can make out of it. What became

Wrecking Social Security

A self-appointed friend of all
mankind is seldom a real friend
&c any man.
These words of ar old Greek
Philosopher are brought to mind
by the self-righteous bleating of
me New Dealers who are preen-
hIe thmselves on what they pro-
Cess to have done to provide
social security for the ertire
nation.
Of course their bleatlng is
phoney. What they really have
done Is TO reduce social security
10 subsistence level, lust as
they brought labor down to a
subsistence level.
Until the self-canoniZed New
Deal quacks and charlatans took
social security out of the field
Of economies and put it in the
field of politics. the American
people were doing pretty good
job of their own. About half
of them had provided against
the future through personal in
surarce.
Now, thanks to h e phoney
New ID a humanitarians. in
surance companies were forced
to announc last December that
life income contracts, taken out
after January would "guaran
tee only one-half as much at
present contracts.
/ Other thousands of Americans
set up their own social security
in the form of saving deposits
The cheap money policies Of the
New Deal regime which forced
IrlSt jc rp1Ilct;OrS in intnraSf
rates have cut the earning
power of these deposits about &C
per cent.
And the pious-spoken New
Dealers expect us to be thank.

olive branch and Germany would

The British and French have
announced they are in for good
to the end. AS matter of fact
both had very little idea of help

The French army is the largest

the British navy something that

Coroner John Monzani

Waterbury was genuinely shocked and sorry to learn and read of the sudden death of John T. Monzani last Saturday morning. Although MT. Monzani had not been in the best of health of recent years and year or so ago underwent treat ment no one ever believed that he would be taken from this life with the abrupt ness with which his end came. His service as coroner for this section of New Haven county had made him public figure with which we were all familiar.
 His duties as coroner began back in the days before deaths by automobiles had reached the proportions they are today. Deaths by violence occurred, of course, but they were few and far be- tween. But as the popularity of the auto mobile increased and it became possible for more persons to obtain them there came, too, the increase in motor fatali- ties. The duties of the coroner naturally kept pace with this alarming trend. In such situation John Monzani was placed and it was never said that he failed to keep pace.
 Everyone who knew John Monzani came to like him and to respect him. He was a credit to his profession and he ad- hered very closely to principles which were of the highest type. We regret that death deprived Waterbury of his valua- ble services

Refutes The Charge

It has often been claimed that trucks get more use out of our highways than do pleasure vehicles. Certainly many ot us have joined in the complaint about ponderous trucks accounting for most Of the wear and tear on trunkline routes. But up in Massachusetts an official of truck club claims that trucks pay 32 per cent of the Bay State motor levies and trucks only comprise 10 per cent of the vehicles using the roads. He also claimed that as compared to real estate taxes truck taxes are three times as great
 All of which is true, we don't doubt. But that doesn't lessen the fact that big trucks do contribute heavily to the wear and tear on our roads. Tn time we think that all traffic of this type will be segre- gated to certain highways, while express routes will care for pleasure vehicles crossing state or a county or travelling between two large cities Use of existing highways will prove invaluable in solving this problem of dividing two distinct types of traffic.
 The day may be far distant when there WilI be just roads for trucks alone, but He have made beginning by closing perkWays to commercial traffic. This

Taxes Still Inadequate

AS the 1889 Legislature slowly draws to a close and members realize that the very important task of adopting oudget for the next biennium remains to be done, the almost impossibility of balanc. ing it becomes evident We don't know II Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin has given up hope of balancing the budget, for he mas not had anything to say publicly on thlS subject the last few weeks. But events tend to show that the task of making m come cover expenses from 1889 to l94l is a perpleXing one.
 There were great hopes ln January when the governor had to rush com pleted budget to the Legislature that It would and could be balanced. EconomieS in every department were planned. Ill fact when some department heads saw what they were expected to do m the heHC two years they wondered Ii they coulo continue even normal operations so roughly had their estimates been treated bv the budget makers and the high-rank- ing officials. But that's what comes ot hasty attempt to make an econonllcal budget.
 The Legislature thus has double Joo on it's hands. It must turn out balanced budget and it much change the statutes which compel the governor to submit ms budget to the General Assembly by Janu- arv 20. The latter will not aid in balanc. ing the next budget, but it will be or benefit in future cases As for the current budget under consideration, 1t does not account for several features, such as continuation of four teachers colleges, new juvenile court system, just to men, ton two items.
 It's either new taxes to care for these extraordinary expenses or else further pairing of the budget in other directions New taxes are being talked Of now. per haps desperately as the end ot the legls- lative session hears and members realize something has to be done thls month. New taxes are unpopular, more generally so than departmental economies. That's just a general suggestion.
