same time protects the taxpayers
as far as the system can do so.
The complaints against the law
have come largely from children of
old people who get the assistance,
the basis of the complaint being
that it interferes with the children
getting the property free of encum-
brance after the father and mother
pass on. There is nothing new in
the Minnesota law, eighteen other
states have it and the prediction is
made that all states will adopt the
system as their legislatures meet.

BUDGET CORRECTION

In the article on city budget
slashes last week appeared the
statement that the fire chiefs sal
airy of $500 and the fire warden's
salary of $500 had been omitted
from the list. That was the in
formation as given to the writer.
and was copied directly from the
list. It was in error, however, as
the chief of the local department
does not draw a salary. The $500
in question is used for maintenance
and for payment for calls to fires
of $1.00 per fireman present. We
understand that that amount has
not been omitted from the budget.
The item in question appeared on

At Gibraltar

History-minded people have old mem- ories stirred by news that French war ships have taken over naval defense of Gibraltar" That great British. strong hold commanding the western entrance of the Mediterranean is still under Brit ish command. British marksmen man the "Pillars of Hercules" And there are still British battleships in the Gibraltar basin. But the fortress no longer seems impregnable. The Italians and Germans, with the aid of their Spanish allies, have mounted modern guns on the neighbor- ing shore The German and Italian fleets are nearby. And the British fleet, powerful as it is, has it's strength scattered widely over the Mediterranean.
 It is critical situation. There might be fight there as important historically as the famous Battle of Trafalgar, fought just outside of the Strait of Gibraltar by Napoleon and NelSon's British fleet in 1905, which began the French dictator's downfall. A battle there might be also as important as the famous defeat of the Spanish Armada by the British in 1888, which launched the glory of the Eliza bethan Age It might rank with the naval Battle of Actium, in northwestern Greece, near Corfu, where a British fleet rides now. There in 31 B. c. Marc Anthony fought with Cleopatra by his side, and OctaviuS Caesar won the mastery of the known world.
 Or it might be as important as the great Battle of Salamis, where Themis- tocles and his Athenians in 480 B. c. de- stroyed the Persian fleet of XerXes and paved the way for "The glory that was Greece"

Progress in the South

Cheerful words come again from our most optimistic statistician, Roger Bab- son. They are about the South, which many northernerS have been plying or deploring. The South in general, Mr. Edison reports, instead of being Ameri- car economic problems No. l, is the na- tion's No. possibility. It alone could restore national prosperity if freight rates were corrected, farms diversified and water-power fully utilized.
 Az matters stand, he says, the region is making huge progress. "The fastest growing states in the Union are nearly all in the South. Texas, Florida, Louisiana and the Carolinas are boosting their populations about three times as fast as the North Hundreds of communities that were unheard of ten years ago are thriving towns today. Every one of the chief cities in the United States whose populations have doubled since 1920 is below the Mason and Dixon line"
 T1c South's industrial development, he adds, is sensational More than half of the country's new factory development in recent years has been in that section. Today the South has more than. one fourth of all our manufacturing estab- lishments, and "they keep mushrooming up everywhere" Farms, he adds, are being diversified. Industrial uses are being found for agricultural crops The South has become pioneer field. This should be good news to the whole coun- try. "We are all members one of another" If the South prospers, the nation will prosper.

A Thought for Today
No Tolls There

Not that we agree with the proposal that tolls be collected on the Merritt Park way, but it may be of interest to readers to know that New York State officials have just rejected proposal that toll gate be placed at the very point where the Hutchinson River Parkway and the Merritt Parkway come together on the Connecticut-NeW York line in WestcheS- ter and Fairfield counties. We don't think such an idea should even have been pro- posed. If we are to establish toll system in Connecticut, it must be done differ ently than this.
 And The Democrat does not enthuse overly on the idea of taking tolls on roads that are completed or in use and have been properly financed. It would have been a far different matter if we had announced in the beginning that the Mer- ritt Parkway was to be toll highway. But its financing was arranged differently and we must proceed accordingly How ever, that does not prevent the state from collecting tolls on the new highway bridge to be built across the Housatonic River at the eastern terminus of the Mer- ritt Parkway.
 Nor does it prevent the state from build ing toll roads in other parts of the state, such as the proposed new Wilbur L. Cross Parkway which would pick up where the Merritt Parkway leaves off and make a continuous route all the way to the northeastern corner of the state. However, we might listen to what N. Y. highway officials say about toll roads. They claim that the cost of collecting such tolls is so great that it doesn't pay. On the subject of toll bridges or viaducts, however, these same officials are con- vinced this is the proper method of financing such new projects.
 A wise plan in construction of future parkways, then, might be the inclusion of good-Sized bridge which would lend itself readily to the matter of tolls.

Many New States

Every so often there is talk of creat- ing new state in the union of the United States of America. Texas has been cut up so many times in the dreams of state makers that it must be well-sliced by this time. Even New York City has been mentioned as a separate state, but re- moving it from the state of the same name would be very painful operation. Now comes Detroit to the fore as the cen- ter of proposed new state. Bound to- gether with it in statehood would be adjacent counties of Wayne, Monroe, Oakland, Macomb, and Washtenaw
 The idea of creating our forty-ninth state out of this rich territory came about when Detroit councilmen discovered that they were paying into the state treasury something like $11O,OO0, ,OOO annually and actually getting back only one-third of that amount. That may be annoying to find out, but whether it constitutes legal grounds for setting up new state in the territory is another thing Under our Constitution the business of making a new state is just bit complicated and not matter of minutes or mere hours.
 In Michigan, however, like so many other states representation in the Legis- lature is predominated by members from the rural regions Therefore, any plan

PREPARING FOR MIGRANTS
 (NeW York Sun)

What will discourage young wan- derers from setting out for New York's fair this spring with cour- age in their hearts but no cash in their pockets? The plight of these migrants from the North, the West and the South has been the subject of considerable thought in the last few months, and organizations such as the Travellers Aid Society are prepared for buster days and nights. But the plight of youth stranded here without funds is also the plight of this community, hence the deci- sion of city officials to return the de- pendent roamers to their homes at the expense of their families, when- ever that is possible.
 The responsibility for carrying out this plan has been assumed by the Department of Welfare; its non-set- tied division is experienced in handling the homeless, the out-of- town vagrants, the young and the old who contemplate from afar New York's alluring sights until they succumb to the temptation and arrive to learn in a few days that the city does not welcome the indi- gent. The non-settled division in February cared for more than 5000 cases, or 2,000 more than in the same month of last year. Its inten- tion is to send bills for the care and transportation of the stranded to

Talking about the subject of city seces- sion from states and formation of new states, it occurs to us that if any thought is being given in the United States to placing forty-.linth star in our flag, the proper thing to do would be to confer on the Territory of Alaska the right of being the forty-ninth state. By virtue of it's relationship to us in racial occu- patton and it's close proximity to the country, it should not be forever forced to remain simply territory with ter ritory's rights and privileges. Ultimately statehood must be conferred and since a plea has already been voiced in Congress for such privileges, why not make Alas kans joy complete by fulfilling their desire

Too much cannot be said about the program of forest fire fighting that State Forester Austin F. Hawes has just launched More than usual hazards are on hand this spring. The hurricane of last September has not been completely wiped out as anyone who wanders through our woodlands would soon know. There is danger of the worst forest fires in state history what with conditions in the woods as they are. Only climatic con danger. The rest remains with us; we must aid in every way to prevent fires and if they come to combat them.

Selected Poem
APRIL

APRIL
 Marguerite Janvrin Adams in the Christian
 Science Monitor) There will be reaping soon where there was sowing Warm winds blowing Over misty green of mountanside, And valleys wide AS eyes of youth, as eyes of innocence; And, maybe, whence These warn winds and where they shall digress We shall not to guess, But reve in the fullness of their giving To earth and living. There has been numbness in the winters chill, And we can still Remember the sharp touch of autumn nights, The Northern Lights, Silver and blue of skies that seem to make The glazed heart break Against their brittleness: The very litteness Of man against parapet of snow These things we had to know But now there is the all-increasing wonder Of April, with sudden crash of thunder Resounding over land and sky and sea- New symphony!

PARKING METERS (BoSton Post)

Rhode Islands legal ruling against the use of parking meters marks the end of another experiment in the problem of what to do with automobiles in busy city streets.
 The revenue derived from the parking meters at a nickel an hour amounted to $400 day in Provi- dence. Doubtless the summonses is- sued for overtime parking brought in more money.
 The experience of Providence traf- f1c experts with parking meters showed that despite the nickel an hour charge for the use of the city streets as parking places, there were still motorists who tried to evade payment of that sum.
 What to do about parking auto- mobiles in big cities has skilled traf- fic experts at their wits ends. There had been high hopes for parking meters. The Rhode Island supreme court seems to have killed them.
