Consumer dissatisfaction with chair store taxes, however, has already begun to be recorded, with the re- suit that as of January 1, 1940 there were six fewer states impos- ing such taxes than there were sev- eral years ago.
 Nonresident motor carrier fees are exacted today in nine states the League found. Because of this type of trade restriction it costs a total of SLIGO in state line fees to transport goods between Alabama and South Carolina in a five-ton truck-eVen more if trailer is used.
 Dairy farmers in 31 states, &C., cording to the survey, have Suc- ceeded in protecting" them- selves with oleomargarine laws at the expense of the consumer Two states require that in hotels and restaurants, the plates on which this product is served, be indelibly marked "oleomargarine."
 Altogether, the picture is a pretty dLscouraging one," the league states, "and one of the worst things about it is that the American citizen is losing his time-honored privilege of trading freely in all parts of his native country, and without realizing what is happening to him."

as their spiritual head-aS the pom tifex maximuS of the whole of the Christian church.
 But this was an empty honor as long as Rome was at the mercy of both Viking and Sara cen. The popes therefore cast around for some ruler who could as as their protector. Their choice quite naturally fell upon the young and ambitious Frankish king and he was asked to act as the worldly champion of the spiritual domain of the church.
 On Christmas Day of the year 800, the Pope solemnly crowned this barbarian chieftain from the Wilds of Europe as the successor to the glories of the old Roman emperors
 But the empre over which Charlemagne the Great was to rule was to be of German origin, for now it had become the turn of North Europe to take the lead- ership in international affairs.
 And in rough and ready way the scheme worked-it divided the world into two halves-a Pope to look after the spiritual salvation of the people and an emperor to take care of their worldly needs.
 The arrangement was for the people but neither by the people nor or the people. But as nobody cared this did not really matter. Once more there was policeman willing and able to maintain order and that was all anybody asked.
 NEXT: The cycle begins again. Democracy grows from the feudaI system.

THE STORY OF DEMOCRACY
For 800 Years The Dark Ages Are Unlighted By Cleans From The Light Of Democracy
Chapter Seventeen

Copyright '1s4O for the Waterbury
 Democrat by NEA Service Incl
 Were the Dark Ages really as dark as they have always been depicted? On the whole, the answer is yes.
 The moment the imperial po- ncemen had disappeared from the scene, the gangster was left in full possession of the field. Northern and western Europe were overrun by bands Of marauding barbar- ianS, all of whom tried to find a spot in the warm and comfortable sun of the Mediterranean.
 Hence there arose a period of
 unrest which historians call the
 age of the Great MigratiOns and
 which in the end destroyed the
 last vestiges of that system of
 law and order which had been
 Rome's most important contri-
 button to the civilization of the
 ancient world.
 England, which had been under Roman domination for as long as America has been inhabited by the white man, was left to its own fate and the moment the last of Roman legionaries had embarked for the continent, 1t became the prey of every pirate whose ship was sufficiently seaworthy to let him cross from the mainland to this rich island
 The Balkan provinces were so completely forgotten that some of them, like Rumania, disappeared from view for more than thou sand years.
 Rome herself was no longer safe from foreign attack and the seat of residence was first of al moved to Ravenna on the cost of the Adriatic and another imperator- anothre commander-in-ch -chief-es- tablished himslef and his court in Con&tantinople on the banks of the Bosporus, giving the bewil- dered savages (still and in spite of everything deeply impressed by the name of Reme) the sight of a world dominated by two full fiedged Roman emperors.
 For short while the navies of the Romans held their own in the Mediterranean. But this was a mat ter of life and death to them, for without the grain ships that piled regularly beWeen Egypt and Italy, the people of the Italian peninsula would have perished even as the inhabitants of London will die of hunger if the Germans should ever succeed in cutting off the grain sup ply from Canada and South Africa.
 But shortly after the death of Mohammed, the whole of north ern Africa was conquered by the

cred only lately on examining the dead crew of a crashed bomber. The plane was Russian, so were the crews uniforms, but the crew were Germans-or so the Films believe.
 They were not astonished, for they had noticed that Russian bombing had become far more ef- fective and systematic. But lest 1t became far more so, and for poli- tical reasons, the Finns said noth- ing.
 There are some Baltic and Volga Gerfhans-Soviet citizens-in the Red Army. Such Germans might conceivably have composed the en- tire crew of that particular bomber.
 This last report comes on top of previous cables from correspondents that Hitler threatened to invade Sweden if she let allied troops cross her territory to help |inland, and loaned Russia staff officers to ad- wise them how to break the Man nerheirn line.

criminatory taxes on retail stores, nonresident motor carrier fees and margarine levies. These and sim liar measures. it is pointed out, are designed to aid certain business and agricultural groups-at the expense of others.
 Federal and state authorities say such laws raise prices to consumers and lower returns to producers throughout the nation.
 The So-called use" tax on out-of- state products exists in some form in 47 states, the League reports. Ill South Carolina, for example, those who wish to use out-of- state soft drinks, tobacco products, gun shells or playing cards must pay a price that is increased by substantial tax levied to protect South Caro- lima manufacturers of these items.
 Eleven states, according to the League, have set up ports-of -entry, similar in some respects to Euro
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-03-22

pean customs stations, obstructing the flow of commerce. Nebraska for example, forces every out-of- state gasoline truck crossing her borders to stop at boundary line tax station to pay a special tax on all of its load in excess of twenty gallons.
 Discriminatory leyieS on chain stores appear on the statute books of 19 states. Pointing out that all of these hamper interstate trade the League survey states that "this is particularly true in the case ot the Louisiana law which is based on the total number of stores not only in Louisiana but in any part of the world" The report declares "the chain store measure (H. R. I) sponsored in Congress by Represen- tative Patman has as it's purpose the constriction of interstate chain stores to the boundary of one state. '

THREE MECHANICS
 WERE INJURED

East Hartford, Conn, March 22- CUP)-Three mechanics we're in- jured today in an explosion in a control room of the United Aircraft Corp, while an airplane motor was being tested.
 Taken to a hospital at Hartford were William Foley and Dalton Harrow, both suffering from burns, and Francis Baziney, who was hurt on the hands and back. None was injured seriously.
 Tn eaccident occurred a short time before a congressional aviation sub committee visited the plant for an inspection.
 Officials said the explosion might have been caused by a engine backfire or by an accumulation of gases in a pit under the control room, which adjoins the test house.

followers of the Prophet and the Mediterranean thereupon became a Moorish inland sea or which no Christian vessel was sate from attack.
 Tn Italy in the valley of the Pc, the Lombards who had settled down there maintained a semblance of that tribal government common among all the wandering Teutonic tribes among the forests and plains of northern and eastern Europe.
 Of course, ever since they had gone on the warpath, they had been obliged to elect themselves a commanders -in- -chief, but these old German kings only enjoyed their power as long as they were able to lead their fellow tribesmen into happier pastures.
 They were k;ngs in the sense that the Chiefs of our own Indian tribes were kings, very limited in their actual power and depending for their final decisions upon the will of a deliberative council con- posed of the older members of the community.
 Of course, now and then one of these little chieftains, cleverer or more interruptions than his neighbors, would succeed in mak- ing himself 8 sort of local king pin. The most successful of thsee was a FrankiSh chief whose fam fly. during the latter half of the eighth century, ruled over the greater part of the ancient Roman province of Gaul.
 Meanwhile, in Rome, the bishops of that city had reached a point of eminence where their episcopal rivals were ready to recognize them

CUNDELFINCER IS
 CAUGHT AT LAST

Erie, Pa, March 22-UP)-For- mer Yale university Instructor George F. Gundelfinger, of Sewick- ley, Pa, was indicted by federal grand jury yesterday on charges of violating postal laws by sending lewd pamphlets through the mails.
 A total of 21 counts were lodged against Gundelfinger, accusing him of sending pamphlets to Yale pro- fessors concerning the religion and morals of college students. Gundel- finger, according to government statements, was the head of self styled fraternity" which attacked Catholicism.
 The former instructor was con- victed in U. s. district court at Pitts burgh on the same charges last May but Judge F. P. Schoonmaker set aside the verdict, ruling that the indictment against Gundelfinger was faulty.
