Tolls And Diversion

The subjects toll highways and diver sion of funds from the State Highway Department to other purposes may not seem to be interrelated, but they actually are. It doesn't take any Second-sight for this. It's clear to anyone who is familiar with conditions here in Connecticut. We are not a state overly fond of toll high ways judging by the fact that we have not adopted this means of financing in recent years. Nor do we seem to enjoy the prospect of using some of the mill lions that motorists pour into the state treasury for purposes other than those intimately linked to roads and automo- piles.
 We have never endorsed the theory that motor taxes, whether they be those on gasoline, motorcar or driver, should be used to build state hospitals or pay old and his car are taxed to pay for upkeep of roads, to build new ones, and to main tain properly the departments that supervise such activities. That is as it should be. But two factors are over- looked in this connection. One is that many foreign (meaning out-of-state) cars cross Connecticut without contributing one cent to the wear and tear on state roads and city streets. That is factor which has to do with tolls.
 Another factor lies in the tremendous amount of mileage that the average mo- tor vehicle, pleasure or commercial, piles up not on state highways, but on city streets, which are policed by the local constabulary for the most part, are paid For by taxes raised on property almost exclusively of automobiles To be sure there is property tax on motor cars, but it is of recent years only that real effort to levy and collect it has been made. So the money with which to build new streets and to repair and maintain them actually comes out of the property tax.
 Yet the vast amount of mileage on a car is run up on city streets. This means more gasoline taxes for the state, but not the city, which only gets mere $17,50O dirt-road allowance annually which is earmarked for specific purposes only. We maintain today, as we have for many years, that the cities and towns deserve a "kick-back" on gasoline taxes, just as they do on motor vehicle fines. We know what it means if the state did share such receipts with the towns; it would lessen the services of the State Highway Department and perhaps the State Police and Motor Vehicle Depart mentS.
 That's where the toll-road and the toll bridge make their appearance. They may be the answer to future that demands a pay-as-you-go attitude towards new and tremendous highway projects.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-24
Radio Gun-Play

A newspaper reader who thinks something should be done about exciting juvenile radio broadcasts tells this story: His five-year-old grandson, coming to visit him, suddenly realized that he had never seen his grandmother, and asked where she was The grandfather told him that she had died some years ago. "Who shot her?" the boy asked. From the wild radio gunplay he had listened to, the child had got the idea that shooting people was normal affair.
 The columnist who reports the case is convinced, from the experience of his own children, that what he calls "incen- diary radio programs" are very bad, be- cause they get children so excited and give them such false ideas and standards. It not only hurts children, he says, but makes life miserable for their parents. And in expressing such criticism, he learns from the readers response that parents are overwhelmingly with him.
 The radio people who appear to be dangling the nerves and perverting the behavior standards of thousands of young people probably do not realize the trouble they are causing. If the parents and educators are right, wild juvenile broad casts are nerve-wreckers and public nui- sances instead of being "good clean fun"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-24
Swapping Goods

There is more talk about adopting bar ter to increase our foreign trade and get rid of our farm surpluses. There are vast accumulations of cotton, wheat and other products to be worked of. The German government has been conduct ing much of it's international trade by this procedure, because it lacked money for direct purchase of needed imports, and is said to be feeling for such an ar- rangement in this country.
 Secretary of Agriculture Wallace shows no enthusiasm for such direct dealings with the Hitler regime, and questions the sincerity of German con- suls said to be seeking barter arrange ments with American farmers in the mid dle west. Still, he says, that is one of the possibilities being studied, and anything we can do to increase the purchasing power of foreign countries would help the American farmer"
 The trouble has been, in many of the Nazi swapping deals, that while the Ger mans got what they wanted, the other parties had to take what they could get. AS result, one of the Balkan countries, in return for lot of grain, is said to have on hand enough aspirin to last it for half a century. Some deals with Latin-Amer- ican countries seem to have been almost as unsatisfactory. In any event, Amer jeans do not want to do any trading with dictatorship countries that would amount to munitioning or provisioning them for war against the democracies

of Columbianism, so does Waterbury lay claim to being the home of the illustri- ous founder and his illustrious priestly brothers who followed in his footsteps. It was here that the McGivneys were born and educated; it is in old St. Josephs cemetery today that the three priests lie side by side under the sod from which issued all mankind. Full praise to them then who have gone, but who carried high the torch in their day on earth.
 Father Finn is fully equipped to assume the responsibilities of office of Supreme Chaplain. More than that he will have in mind the tradition of family heritage to which he has now succeeded. Water bury shares with him, in slight degree to be sure, the honor that is his in being designated by the supreme officers of the Knights of Columbus to act as spiritual director as have his reverend ancestors.

Long has the controversy ragged over the ingredients of the true clam chowder. There are those who still stick to the point that good choWder must contain tomato. And Governor Harry Moore of New Jersey is one of these In a recent statement he said: "No longer as Maine goes, so goes the country, either in politics or in clam chowder. Let the frozen north keep it's potato and clam mixture. We of New Jersey, the greatest garden state of the Union, use to the limit the colorful and luscious tomato in every edible combina- tion. The Jersey tomato is the backbone of the, canning, chowder, and inheritance tax industries. AS Jersey eats, so eats every other state, except Vermont and Maine. :"

Selected Poem
CROSSED HEARTS

(Frances Frost in the New York Times) Here by the where greal-shouldered horses drink the south hill spring and shake their heads and scatter drops of crystal over the smooth-worn wood and gaze at us with
 dark patient and experiencing eyes, here where the great plow-fanks are damp with
 sweat and the strong hooks muddy from the wet black
 fields, here in this pause of noon let us renew again our oath to earth of sound seed for the fierce and hungry furrow and lift hand and lay across our hearts an old device as swift as blown hawk-shadow as light as breath but deep as the womb of earth. Let cross hearts and touch the coarse tossed
 names and turn the horses to the waiting blows beyond the apple
 blossoms.
