How About Those Cigars?

Last summer, we think it was July, a certain editor in Waterbury was so reck- less as to agree to buy cigars for the alder men if the federal government gave Waterbury anything like a million dol arS for it's water expansion project. Well, she federal government hasn't given the :ity the $1,000000 as yet, but very strong recommendation has been gwen to President Roosevelt to approve such grant. And the odds are that he will approve and that $1 000,0 ,000 will be made available for WaterburyS use i'll con- nection with it's second pipeline and third reservoir.
 All of which only goes to prove that everything the Scully administration did and will continue to do for this city 1n connection with a water system expan- sion isn't haphazard, perfunctory or politically designed. It can't be said that he city fathers were over-enthusiast1c or off balance when they made appllca- sion at Washington for federal funds to supplement those they planned to secure through issuance of water bonds. Actu- ally they asked for something like $500, 900. It is recommended that this amount be increased, almost doubled.
 All of which only goes to prove. that the city must have had pretty good case to lay before the federal authorities. In other respects, of course, the welcome news, and we naturally presume there will be no disappointment, gives this city and it's taxpayers some cause for rejoic- Ing. As only part. of the water bonds have been sold to date, actual securing of federal funds means that just that much need not be expended great sav- Ing in bonded indebtedness and inter- est. Waterbury can indeed be grateful that such good news was forthcoming shig week.

Remarkable Career

The death of James J. Walsh at Meri- den this week ends rather remarkable public career. We don't think there were many places in this state where MT. Walsh was not well and favorably known. Throughout the many years in which he figured in various phases of public life he had made countless friendships which re- mained firm to the very end. Whether 1t was in politics or fraternalism he pos yessed the same knack of making and holding friendships.
 He wasn't a native of Connecticut, having been born in Springfield, Mass, but by far the greater portion of his life was spent in this state. He was originally . printer by trade and for a number Of years was foreman of the composing room of the Meriden Journal. He became polit- lcally known as Collector of Internal Rev enlA for Connecticut, being appointed to this post when Woodrow Wilson became president. A few years after he left this department he took over the chairman ship of the Democratic State Central Committee.
 Fraternally he was associated with many organizations but most of his ener- gies and time was given to the Foresters of America. He was not merely identified with local and state offices in this order, but of recent years he had been Its Supreme Secretary, an office for which he was admirably fitted and to which he certainly gave the best of his talents and ability. He was familiar figure at any and all court gatherings of the Foresters, lust as he was at political conventions and the like prior to 1880. Despite his many and varied activities he managed to give each it's proportionate share of ais time with the same satisfying results.

A Drop in the Bucket

German repudiation of promises and obligations has swept across the world in a flood in the past 10 years. Any little drop added to flood here and there is a small matter, but 1t is interesting to note the latest. Just as the German armies were battering at the gates of Moscow, the German government stopped paying coupons on the Dawes and Young plan notes, payments which 1t had kept up even through the first two years of this war. These loans had only remote con- nection with the war debts of World War I.
 They were advances made to the Wei mar Republic at time when the United States had genuine sympathy with the struggles of the German people in the postwar world, and wanted to help them keep their government afloat. This re- pudiation was inevitable, and it is more than likely that partial payments were kept up in recent years simply to main tain a market for the securities and profit thereby. Nobody is surprised by the German announcement of inability to pay" nor at the time chosen to make the announcement.

The Growing Territories

The increasing importance of the terri tories and insular possessions of the United States is well shown by study recently completed by the Tax Institute. This demonstrated that in 1940 tax col lections in the Territory of Hawaii to- taled $21 ,ooo, ,o00, or more than those of any of II states. Similar collections in Puerto Rico were $23,0o0,0O0, or more than those of 27 states. Alaskan collec- tions of $2,00000O were less than those of any state, but have doubled in 10 years:
 These tax collections are measure of growth of these territories and possessions and of their importance in fiscal and business way. They suggest, since their trend is definitely upward, that their i'm portance to U. s. economy and life will be even greater in the future than they have been in the past.

he does such 6 political about-facs and broadcasts such political apple. sauce.
 MT. Upson has been trying for years to make us believe he was ouf in front for good government, bus he now demonstrates he would Dc willing to discard the best govern. ment our city has had in twenty years just to have his party wstk any kind Of ticket set into power. I suppose 1t would mean q job fog him at that. To him all Democrats have horns or maybe he doesn't rec~ ognize good government when he sees 1t. If he doesn't, then 6 lot of good Republicans do and he must be stone deaf if he doesn't hear them say 50.
 Ills variety of attack does more harm than good to his party and its ticket and if that is not what he is striving to do he should discuss the issues intelligently and not make such absurd statements as he did about our present municipal govern- ment. He can waste a lot of wind and radio time doing 1t and he won't change the opinions of 8 loj of citizens one particle. MayH 'even his best friends won't tell hinE how absurd he can make himself z 6 politician. 4 lot of ss are from Missouri and we are not going t@ take his word for 1t that we are nos getting honest and efflcaenS cSt@ management.

And while on this topic of motor cars just hearken to Maine's tale of woe. It's going to be difficult to obtain the famil- far anti-freeze mixtures this season. Tn fact Maine is prepared to put a lot of cars in storage until the warmer months permit safe driving without the danger of radiators freezing up. Dealers down Maine way assert that the federal gov. ernment has virtually impounded all ot the available supplies of anti-freeze. Ii that's the case then we rather imagine the same thing will happen here in Connec.. ticut where some such mixture IS vitai to safe car operations once the cola weather has set in.

Don't Blame Your Retailer

An authority on merchandising remarks that there is growing tendency of labor and some consumers to blame price rises on retailers. That tendency should be Scotched in hurry. For the plain truth Is that the retail trades, in all fields in- cluding both the independents and the chains, have carried on an aggressive and successful campaign to keep living costs down.
 Between June Is, 1889, and June IS, l941, industrial wages rose 27 per cent on weekly basis. Industrial real wages which means wages interpreted in the light of purchasing power-rose p per cent. In those same two years, the cost of living increased but per cent and that includes rents and personal services as well as commodities
 It is retailing which has further cut overhead expense arsl passed the saving on to the consumer. It is retailing which has eliminated many unnecessary middle man operations, and again passed the saw ng on to the consumer. It is retailing which in many instances is absorbing wholesale price rises, and voluntarily acc septing lower unit profits in order to hold prices down. It is retailing which is Helping educate the consumer to buy more scientifically, and make his dollar na farther,

ing Britain. Also, he is bitterly critical of the committees failure to repudiate the racial appeals of ex-Colonel Lindbergh.
 Taher acted like anything but an American Firster when he went to the White House recently with other farm leaders to discuss price control with the President. Taber warmly praised the President for taking Q strong stand against the dictators and for aiding Britain, and wound up by inviting him to be the main speaker at the Oranges 18th anniversary ccfivefi- ton in Worcester, Mass, next month.
 "It's been eleven years since you addressed one of 0ur con-
 ventions, Mir. President" said Tabor; "that was our 193O meet. ing in Rochester when you were governor of New York. Wed be deeply honOred to have you again."
 The President warmly thanked Taber but respectfully begged off, saying that the international satu- ation keeps me chained to my desk" However, he promised to send a message and said he would be at the Worcester meeting in spirit, if not in person. :. ..,.'

Well, they didn't sell one end of the Bear Mountain bridge for taxes Monday after all. Some legal technicality inter- yened and the autcion has been delayed a full year. By that time we'll have fof- gotten all about the incident or maype war conditions will have reached such a stage that the federal government may have requisitioned the span. At any Tate that seems the only way the State oi NeW York could be deprived of ownership.

Massachusetts may issue only ane H. ,ense plate to car during the coming year The plan is under consideration because of the shortage in metals and the difficulty oi procuring sufficient metal to make up the 1922 license plates. If the idea goes through 1t may even be the same 1922 plates to be used again in 1e43. Of course we don't think that the Bay State officials would issue new reg istrations for nothing. Motorists will be obliged to pay the necessary fee, but will not get different plates. This. is even different than the Connecticut plan whereby only the year numerals are changed in a semi-permanent plate. on the basis of the Massachusetts idea Con necticut might well extend indefinitely the life of it's license plates. Use them until they wear out might well be our motto.
