 TEAPARTY URGED
Fred Perkins Who Helped to Outlaw MIRA Hits Soc
 cial Security Tax

Boston, March 18z-(UP)-Fred Perkins of West York, Pa., whose defiance contributed to the outlaw ing of the MIRA, urged New Eng land small businessmen today to have another Boston Tea Party and throw overheard the Social Security Tax"
 "The situation of small business men is like that of the colonists who paid the tea tax. That tax was infiniteSmal. But they fought the principle of the thing. I believe the Social Security Act is unfair and unconstitutional. I'm going to fight the thing" Perkins said in an interview.
 "The taxes aren't too burdensome on big business" he said, but they eat the heart out of small business. As a native of New England and a direct descendant of John Alden and Priscilla Mullens, believe New England is the logical place to start a movement against the tax"
 Perkins is the man who went to jail for defying the New Deals minimum wage law and it is be- lieved his fight resulted in the Na- tional Recovery act being judged unconstitutional. Since 1897 he has refused to pay Social Security taxes to the government and unemploy- ment taxes to Pennsylvania.
 Perkins was here to address a meeting of the New England So- ciety of Small Business tonight.

 STATE REPORTS
General Surplus of $8l,- 682 Says Fred R. Teller;
 Governor Pleased

Hartford, Conn, March 1S.-(UP) The condition of the states general fund at the end of the fiscal year June 30, 1899, was reported today to Gov. Baldwn by Controller Fred R. Teller.
 It showed there was a surplus of $81,682, of which the governor said:
 T am highly gratified by the re- port. When I assumed office on Jan. 4, 1889 the budget director es- timated an operating deficit of .$1,- 500,000. Instead we had a surplus of $s1 ,6S2."
 He predicted balanced budget at the end of the present fiscal year, June 30.
 In a letetr of transmittal, Zeller said when he took office T found a huge accumulation of unpaid depart mental bills in the office resulting from lost discounts" and that affairs were "in a thoroughly undesirable condition in general.
 Under 8 reorganization system, zeller said bills now are paid within 48 hours.
 A comparative report of income and expenditures of all monies was presented by the controller. In 1885 income totaled $47 7,665, ,233 and ex- penses $51, ,735,615. In 1885 the in- come was $7l 1894, ,851 and expendi- lures $65, ,245 ,32O.

Engineer Charles A. Root, this sum would be sufficient only for a steel bridge and is far too little for stone or cement bridge. However, there is total of $47 ,00O in the bud get for proposed bridges on 1dylwood avenue and Plank road, and this sum may be transferred to the Baldwin street project.
 Walkers Charges
 At the last meeting of the board of aldermen, Alderman Burton H. Walker, Republican, charged that the bridge is still extremely unsafe, despite repairs, made early in the winter. He alleged that the engineer ing bureau was "stalling" in pre- pairing plans.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully retorted to the Walker attack by declaring that work on the new bridge will go ahead as speedily as possible. He denied that there was any unusual delay.
 The bridge at present is posted with signs limiting loads to 10 tons. The signs were presumably placed there by the street department after the repair work, and City Engineer Root claims they are unnecessary. He contends that the present bridge can hold load many times heavier than the limit specified on the signs.
 Action Desired
 Residents of the Abrigador, Wash ington Hill, and South Waterbury sections are anxious to have the bridge built as soon as possible, Baldwin street in recent years had become main thoroughfare used by a large percentage of through traffic.

disappeared rom the scene, ACne- nian Democracy collapsed most piteously.
 The Golden Age apparently had
 feet of clay.
 This whole period of the great Peloponnesian war-the suicide of the Athenian Democracy-has been most carefully recorded in the works of Thucydides. If you want to real something comple.l .ly modern, something that might have been written yesterday, get yourself a cheap edition of Thucydides' famous classic.
 It was the work of an insider an Athenian general who had been de- prived of his command after a de- feat, for popular forms of govern ment then as now are very severe on their unsuccessful military men.
 However, there is very little ax- grinding in this story of the end- less war. It is a recital of the facts without very much comment. But what makes it so interesting to the modern reader is this intimate glimpse of Democracy of 25 cen turieS ago which might as well have been a Democracy of thousand years ago or of today.
 There are the same magnifi-
 cent Outburts of courage on the part of the common people while
 they were still being dominated
 by men of the caliber of Peri- cles. Btu the moment these lead- CTS have suffered 9 setback, the
 petty little demag0gues, who have
 always smarted under their own
 sense of inferiOrity, not only sec
 their chance, but also take it.
 Lou will recognize all the types which since then we have come to associate with the word Demo- cracy. There is the leather mer- chant, Cleon (full o fenvy of the aloof and aristocratic pericles), able completely corrupt, but a marvellous rabble-rouser. Plutarch describes him as the first man who ever ad- dressed the Athenian town meeting pulling off his cloak and thump- ing his sides with his fists" And when he found that this sort of thing worked, he forgot that he was one of the richest men of his town and thereafter went around in the dirty blouse of common work ingham, like a modern college boy slightly tinged with Bolshevism liv- ing in luxurious dormitory but affecting a dirty cellar, leather coat and lot of hair on his head.
 Yet this lover of the people quietly condemned every male citi- zen of Mytilene to death when that
