Studying Imitation

President Roosevelt is making a study Of imitation. This is supposed to be in preparation for action in some form or other, perhaps new executive order, perhaps both. With the fact-fnding facilities at his disposal, the President will not have to rely upon what every man knows. And yet, we wonder what his researchers will produce other than elaboration upon few fundamental sets of facts?
 { First, the factories that used to make consumer goods now are making arma- ment and munitions and supplies for the lighting forces. To do this, they are employing every worker they can get. Therefore we have more money but fewer consumer goods. This year, as a nation, we shall have close to no billion dollars of income, but not more than 70 billion dollars worth of goods on which to spend it.
 That leaves 40 billions for savings, in- cluding war bonds, for taxes and for in- flation. Out of that 40 billions we can and will pay excessive prices for anything we want and can buy, unless Leon Henderson can keep prices down. That will not lead to imitation. That will be imitation. Second, Mr. Henderson has imposed ceilings on almost everything. But not on farm products, and not on wages. Third, prices already are very high, Paced, by the sprint in agricul- tural commodities, the most recent basic commodity price index of the Labor De- partment shows that prices generally have risen more than two-thirds since August, 1889.
 Fourth, the wages paid to workers = whether computed hourly, daily, weekly or yearly = are at an all-time high. Almost no group has failed to profit from this. The War Labor Board has set IS per cent above the level of January l, 1041, as the point at which wages are to be begged. Fifth all these and other economic developments are based upon efforts to maintain the American stand &rd of living, and if possible to improve it. But we can't do that until we have beaten Hitler. The standard of living depends upon usable goods, not on paper or metal bearing mystic symbols imprint ed by the Treasury. The goods with which to maintain our standard of liv- ing do not exist, and cannot be manu- factured so long as we are fighting the axis.
 In the words of man who should know: "Our standard of living will have to come down." Who said that? Presl- dent Roosevelt.

Wrong Any Way

The Republican campaign to defeat Governor Robert A. Hurley and other Democratic candidates at the fall election was launched some time ago. It still continues with various ranking Republl- can officials taking their turn on the firing line. The latest is State Chairman ]. Kenneth Bradley who unlooSed volley at the governor this week over his ap- pointment of commission to probe into housing conditions. He's too late with such a board, says MT. Bradley. It should have been done before.
 Granted that housing conditions within this state are bad, we don't know whether or not any action by the gov- ernor in naming a commission to study the same would have satisfied his politi- cal opponents. The fact that he did name such a commission is merely an opportunity to make political capital out of 1t. We don't know if appointment of the commission will prove cure-all for the present situation, because conditions are such right now that it probably will take a lot more than merely an appoint i've board to iron out the difficulties.
 The whole trouble lies in the fact that the federal government is exercising pretty tight control over private building. Apparently there isn't too clear an un- derStanding of what is to be done. But one things very sure and that IS there won't be any building activity unless the government lets horde of pending per roitS loose in the various communities now beginning to fret over what's going to happen next winter when there1l be an even greater demand for suitable llv- ing quarters.

Selected Poem
SHEEPHERDER

SHEEPHERDER (Culen Jones in the Poets Corner, Hartford Times) Wine glasses were a-clinking to laughter light
 foam; Gay beauties sparkled in hls eye on the lolis
 tramp home The long tramp the dry tramp for dusty days
 and drab, Calling to his father heath his turt ana maroie
 slab; Yielding to his misery, but dashing back the tears; His loneliness was rushing to those tlmelesS,
 youthful years. Don Jose Batista, of the legion of the damned, Following the trailing herds where the platting
 herds command Don Jose Batista by his birth and blood caressed Condemned to live in alkal in the sagebrush West And the luxury of other days-the hghtsome, sad
 guitar; The melody of happiness where dead thoughts are. But lost in endless drearness-in dirt and heat
 and time: His burro stands there praying at his pack
 of silver grame. The diamond hitch he filings away; the sheep are sun-golden darts are flashing flame on the hateful
 deserts crown; The camp is by dry-lake; the fodder beans and
 bread; Don Jose Batista wills another life instead Gray palaces are rising where the butte is casting
 shade, But the coyotes scream Is sinister as the rnrocKs
 fade. "Sheepherder!" says the countrynen. nor never
 hide their sheer: Don Jose Batista halts a melancholy tear Don Jose Batista plays his weeping mandolin: Sweet odors of the Pyrenees come creeping in. Peace villages of brunette bellies, where the home
 land gleams; Peace, Jose Batista to your artless homey dreams. The sheep bedded on the hill; the wind Is
 purring low; Don Jose Batista, life was ever so. Don Jose Batista, Sheepherder of the sage, Mourns for Cataluna and his ancient heritage.

Industrial Shift

One salutary effect of the war produc- tion drive has been decentralization of industry. Studies reported by the Ma tional Industrial Conference Board show that only seven states-Arizona, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma South Dakota and Vermont = did not have higher incomes last year than ever before. But the significant point is the distribution of increases.
 New England, traditional manufactur- ing capital of the nation, had the low est. The Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions also were below the national average. Mississippi, never much industrialized, showed gain of 46 per cent in year. Virginia was up 39, Louisiana 37, Kansas 35 per cent. California's income almost equaled that of the entire New England section. If this be prosperity, almost everybody is sharing in it.

As for the military vehicles of Uncle Sam, maybe hen have something to say about this himself. From time to time the question of allowing free passage of all military vehicles over toll bridges and along toll roads has been discussed with various states and authorities differing on the same. Where one state will pass such vehicles free of charge at all points where tolls are levied, another won't. It's apparently question of official deter imitation.
 However, by the time this bridge is being patronized by the driving public it may be getting patronage only from such vehicles as those which come within the limited classificatiopS, such as city, state, and federal-owned cars The rest of us will have our automobiles stored away in garages until better times are here and tires and gasoline are plentiful again.

Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce of Greenwich may be neophyte as far as Connecticut politics is concerned, but the Well-knoWn author, playwright, and world traveller, is doing well by herself as regards the COP nomination for Congress in the Fourth District. Mentioned quite freqeuntly for the nomination of recent weeks Mrs. Luce announced the other day that she didn't feel she was sufficiently acquainted with local problems to become an active candidate. This was contained in let ter to State Chairman J. Kenneth Brad ley who promptly replied that Mrs Luce was still in the race. Mrs. Luce may be very sincere in her wish to play fair with Republican leaders and not force them to become committed to her candidacy. Or she may be as astute politician as the many who have proved that if you dangle an attractive bait in front of the people long enough they are going to try to take hold of it.

SUSPICION CREATED AL ALONG LINE, WRITES
 MIR. WALKER
439 Sylvan Avenue, Waterbury, Conn,
 August 6, 1922.

AuS uSL D, 404As Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 One of your editorials in Wednes- days issue of your paper is titled What Are the Motives?" You state in the second paragraph and I quote: "it is noticeable that COP tactics in this matter have been such as to create general suspicion that wholesale plot is afoot among Democrats to overthrow good gov- ernment."
 If there was any suspicion ere ated, they were those by our budget director, MT. Olsen, when he stated to several aldermen, including the writer, that iU would have been an easy matter for him to have cov- cred up the real purpose of this item so that we would not have known what we were voting for, and when I told MT. Olsen that l would not approve this transfer as I felt 1t was a violation of the charter requirements and therefore irregular, his answer was that this wouldn't be the first irregular thing the present Board of Aldermen had voted for, and again when MT. Ol- sen was asked what period this rental was for ne would not answer; yet MT. Mitchell at the meeting stated that $500 was owed for rental from January 1st to July 1st of the year 1922. When an attitude like this is backed up and defended

In the case of the Army, just as 1t was giving Al cooperation, the brewers and some soft drink bottlers stepped in and offered the Quartermaster three times as muck the price set for the tin cans by WIPE. Simultaneously hospitals, colleges, municipal gov- ernments received lush offers from the bottlers and brewers.
 So local salvage committees, which have accomplished 8 tough, patriotic job, are begin ming to get sore. And the trag- edy is that the next time a call comes to collect and save a vital war material, it may not be so easy.
 MRS. HARRY HOPKINS
 The new Mrs. Harry Hopkins once attended the Madeira school on the banks of the Potomac, and those here who know her say that Harry is married to one of the incest and most intelligent of women.
 They are delighted that she Is now the wife of so important a person as the Presidents No. ad- wiser. Previously her name had been connected with two other fa- nous men.
 One was the playwright Bob Benchley, a close friend for years. The other was Jock Whitney, now married to Betsy Gushing Roose- welt. Whitney and Louise Macy were seen constantly together, at a time when Harry Hopkins fre- quently was seen with Betsy Roosevelt after her divorce from Jimmy.

by the Democratic members of the board, don't you feel that they are leaving themselves open to sus- picion?
 You state, and I quote: neither the Democrats or Republicans are in a position to indulge in politics at the expense of the taxpayers when we are endeavoring to gear our every effort to a successful prosecution of a war that means future happiness or ruin for all of us."
 You have never, at any time stated 8 truth greater than the above and earnestly commend this statement to not only our na- tional of11ce holders, but to our mayor and especially to our police and fire boards.
 Very truly yours, BURTON H. WALKER,
 Alderman.

What, No Fire Engines!

According to ruling by the Attorney General of Connecticut all military and state-owned vehicles, even ambulances, will be required to pay tolls in using the new Charter Ook bridge across the Con- necticut River at Hartford If that's the case, we can't see any good reason why there shouldn't be tolls collected from Arivers of fire-engines if they have to eroSs on the span. We can understand she reasoning that calls for state-owned Mrs being taxed, but we do think that m ambulance, usually summoned for an Emergency, could be exempted.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-07

Conditions are at such state now in Connecticut that the toll houses along the Merritt Parkway may soon be man. ned by women. Or should we say womened by females. At any rate it's getting hard to secure enough men to hold down the toll jobs so the state is turning to women and asking them to to take the competitive examinations. They'll get the same pay as the men, the rates running from 1,500 to 1900 a year. Some prior experience, not in the toll station field, of course, is re- quired. This is but one of many lndl- cations that the nations manpoWer IS starting to run short. In another year women will be in even greater demand for laboriouS tasks.

out to be sure all delegates were Bennett men, and at least 100 of them actually were employees of Bennett under his office of att torney general.
 Meanwhile, Roosevelt wanted Owen D. Young, former head of General Electric, to be the Demo- cratic candidate for governor. He sounded out Young, who didn't want to run; sounded out other leaders, struck no fire.
 NEXT the President turned to Undersecretary of War Patterson, lifelong Republican, more re- gently registered as a Democrat. He was considered the ideal can- didate, except that he didn't want to leave his very important job ill the War Department.
 It was only then and after talking to Al Smith, Gov. Leh- man and Luigi Ant0nini of the American Labor Party, that Roosevelt turned to Senator Jim Mead, whom he actually needed in the Senate.
 The chairman of the Demo cratic State Committee is supposed to be clearing house for all Democratic candidates. Jim Far ley, however, has become so bit- ter against the thwarting of his oWn pet candidate that the other day when George Doyle, chair man of the Democratic County Committee in Buffalo called, Jim and Vincent Daley closed the doors and shouted such vitupera- tion at the President that Doyle said he was afraid they could be heard in the adjacent building. Vince Daley got 50 excited he even dropped his false teeth.
 "Y0u won't have to worry about Roosevelt making state ment for Mead" stormed Farley. wen smoke him out. He'll have to make it."
