Mr.. P. G. Stromberg,

Mr.. P. G. Stromberg,
Dear Editor:
We read your paper regularly
and enjoy every bit of it. We never
miss the column II Might Be
Wrong-But"- admire the way
you try to bring the real facts to
the people-and so plain they can
not help knowing what's going on
if they care to.
Since most of our young men
in Montgomery County have been
called into the service Of their
country, ] feel that we should show
them more appreciation for their
sacrifice. / wonder if the school
children would not like to start an
ambulance fund.- believe it would
be as great a success as Govern
ment Girl was in Washington.
Just small contribution from
each child, so those who did not
have could earn it by running err
rands-boxes could be placed in
public placcs-all contributions to
be in honor of our Montgomery
county boys-we feel they would
be very proud if they knew we had
sent a fully equipped ambulance
over there.
Each school could plan the best
way to collect funds from the pub
bile and the children should be al
lowed to select the christening
name. All that is needed is a
starter and / thought you might
see way to mention this idea and
get things going in the right
channel.
Yours truly,

The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-06-29

An ardent advocate of public ownership
of electric power recently used the tax
payments of one large electric company
lover $64,000,000 in one Year, to show
that the taxes were not paid by the COM
pany but the company's consumers, in
higher rates. For years, private power
companies have pointed out that taxes
levied against them, which in many cases
now average 25 per cent of their gross
income, can come from no place but the
consumer, because taxes have to be added
to rates charged.
Publicly-owned power plants, which do
not pay regular taxes, have long used
their tax exemptions as the basis Tor cut
ting rates below private companies, and
as an argument for urging public owner
ship of power to secure lower rates. They
violently oppose every move to tax pub
licly-oWned power plants on the same
basis as private plants. If lower electric
rates is a sound argument for tax eXemp-
ton of publicly-oWned electric plants,
why shouldn't tax exemption be advocat-
ed for privately owned plants?
Would advocates of public ownership
Ol GlGCIIlC pOWCl Nc W144AAAS w g. civ O~<>
exemption to private plants in order to
give the public the same rate subsidies
that tax exemption gives public plants?
No, indeed, they would hold their hands
up in horror at such suggestion. 1t is,
therefore, evident that low rates to the
public is not what they desire so much
as specialization of an industry.
Private electric utilities are paying the
nation some billion dollars year in taxes.
If those private properties were publicly
owned they would not be paying the bill
lion a year in taxes, but other property
and persons would bear additional tax
burdens to make up for the tax loss. A
reduced rate is a poor excuse for public
ownership. 1t could be secured by lop-
ping the tax bills off the private com
panies, the same as they are Topped OFT
of public plants. And then communities
would not have to 60 millions of dollars IN
debt for publicly-owned power plants IN
order to be the beneficiaries of rates based
on tax faVoritiSm.

THAT BAN ON PLEAURE
DRIVING
Hartford Tines

With any sound plan the Office
of Price Administration may have
for saving gasoline, so that more
may be available for military pur-
poses, or that more transportation
units may be diverted to haul heat
ing oil to be stored in anticipation
of winter demands, the public will
be sympathetic.
What the public objects to is the
futility of the present ban on use
of "a" card rations for pleasure
driving, as means of saving gaso-
line.
Having allotted one anG a half
gallons of gasoline a week to IA"
card holders, the OPA is attempting
to tell them how that gallon and a
half shall be used. That is not rea-
sonable. That does not save a
spoonful of gasoline. That merely
angers a thoroughly cooperative
public, which had been led to be-
lieve that it could, If it wished, use
its allotment in short time or, on
the other hand. might conserve its
coupons to obtain gasoline for as
long trip as the allotment would
permit.

Hot Weather Story

Stories like this one, that come out of
New York, make us wonder whether mod
ern civilization is all that it's cracked up
to be-whether some of our marvellous
inventions don't cause more trouble than
they're worth. 1t seems that the sa-
chens, the sagamores and the Sub-chiefs
of that historical social organization
known as Tammany Hall were gathering,
the other evening, for a knockdoWn and
dragout fight. One group, led by Boss
Mike Kennedy, who used to be a Con-
gresham, had called meeting to Sc
lect candidates for public office, so that
the electorate wouldn't have to wear it.
self out deciding who it wanted to adj
minister justice from the benches of the
inferior courts. A laudable motive, you
will agree. The other group, envious of
Mike Kennedy's position and seeking to
GUST him, for some peculiar reason failed
to receive notices of the meeting. But
word got around, and they showed up
with blood in their eyes, ready to answer
in the affirmative Boss Mikes rhetorical
question: "They're asking for a divorce
aren't they? Must you have dinner with
a divorced wife?"
The night was as hot as the lightly
leashed temperS of the warriors Scarcely
a breath of air came north from the Bat
terry, and enervating heat, stored all day
in the sidewalks and pavements of 18th
street, shimmered so thick you almost
could have cut it with butter knife. If
Tammany Hall had been really modern
building, with a nice, efficient cooling
system, there would have been trouble.
Verbal brickbats would have flown, feel
ings would have been lacerated, and life
long friendships would have been broken
instead of merely strained bit. But
the Hall, imposing as it may be from out
side (or as campaign symbol of politi-
cal venality and despotism) has no air
conditioning system. So what happened?
So the boys hurried through few rou-
tine matters, and then the spokesman for
the opposition rose soggily to his feet
and opened his mouth, and then Boss
Mike tapped the lectern smartly with his
gavel and announced: Meetings adj
journed." And as Mixes flabbergasted
adversary mopped his perspiring brow
with a bedraggled kerchief he announced,
philosophically: cts too hot to stand on
your dignity these days" So what price
modern inventions, if peace can be OBJ
tanned because there doesn't happen to be
m air cooler around?

Nerves, Patience Shattered

There seems to be a prevalent notion
that retail distributors can operate like
agencies of government - regardless of
profit. ceilings and "roll back" prices
are tossed at them in whitening clouds,
and margins be damned. While one gov
eminent authority is playing with prices,
another stops the production Of every
thing from clothes pins to refrigerators.
To cinch the case, few cars step in
and swing uncoordinated haymakers at
trained retailer personnel, with the result
that if the Army doesn't get experienced
store employees, the shipyards do. In
spite of it all, the merchant, as the only
source through which the civilian popu-
lation can be fed and clothed, is supposed
to carry on as usual.
In response to queries on the effect of
latest price ceilings and other govern
ment DEGREES, one food store representa-
tive remarked: "You ask what food dis
tributors are thinking =. Their nerves,
their patience, are shattered. The first
impulse may be to fold up - but they
recognize responsibility to the public,
to their associates and employees, to their
stockholders. The loyalty, faithful
patronage and service of these people
may have made their retirement-eScape
from abuse-possible. Food operators
can't let them down now. No, food stores
will not fold up. People must be fed
Organized distributors must feed them in
times like these
This attitude is typical of the entire
organized retail distribution industry. 1t
explains in large measure why so far
the buying public has hardly felt the eff
feet of war. Retailers have managed to
keep an unbroken flow of necessities NOV
ing to consumers. They know that max
inum war production depends on their
continuing effort.
At present the government is attempt
ing to limit the price of goods the mer-
chant sells, without effectively limiting
the cost of production Of those goods.

of such reasoning

ciled.
Out of this worth while project
should come a more dynamic APP
proach to the teaching Of American
history. The committee plans to es-
tablish minimum standards at all
grade levels. Even more important
is the committees intention to rec
ommend masic requirements for
teachers of history. Too often his
tory teachers have been ow medic
Gre caliber, and not infrequently
unsuited for thseir jobs. 1t was felt
that almost anybody can teach
history" That led to a dull, boring
treatment of the subject; many stu
dents leave high school with an ac-
tual distaste for United States
history. With the formation Of def
mite standards we may hope that
this condition will be remedied.
Under the able direction OF Profess
sor Wesley of the University of
Minnesota the survey can be ex-
pected to prove valuable not only
to school leaders but to the public
generally.

Editor of The Democrat:
These periodical coal strikes are
deplorable. Especially so at such
times as these. But if our legal en-
actments are made to conform with
the moral or natural law such in
stances would not occur. The coal
while 1t remains in the ground is not
wealth, in fact there is no wealth
except what is produced by labor,
the resources of the Earth was not
produced by human effort and con-
sequently no man or groups of men
should be able to say that they are
mine and you can only produce
wealth from them on my or our
terms.
The public seems to lay the entire
blame Of the present coal strike to
John L. Lewis. But is he not doing
the world a public service by force
IDLY attracting attention to the fact
that to the producer belong he pro-
duct and that the resources of the
Earth belong? And those that mon
of the time? And those that mon
opolize these for the privilege thus
constant rent for nte privilege thus
to relieve us in so far, of other forms
of taxation.
1t Is not John L. Lewis or any
other one man to blame for the
discard in this world, it is the apathy
of the general public in regard to
our God given rights, and the sooner
they get wise to that fact and act
accordingly, the better.

AMERICAN HISTORY SURVEY
New York Tines

Educators and laymen generally
will approve the nationwide study
of the place of American history in
our schools and colleges now being
made by a representative committee
of prominent scholars. For many
months there has been suspicion
in the public mind that the schools
have been neglecting to give a due
emphasis to the teaching of our ma
tons background, growth and de-
velopment. This issue came forcibly
to the attention of many people fol-
lowing The Times survey of 1000
college freshmen in thirty-six in
situations of higher learning.
With funds provided by the
Rockefeller Foundation, the Missis-
sippi Valley Historical association is
undertaking significant survey in
this field. Cooperating with the
Mississippi group are the American
Historical association and the Ma
tional Council for the Social
Studies, thus assuring that all points
of view will be considered. Per-
haps it is not too much to hope that

Axis Viewpoint

The other day we suggested that if we
were Joe Goebbels we should welcome the
coal strike as a godsend to our hard
pressed propaganda budget. Apparently
Nazi Joe felt the same way.
German, Italian and japanese propa-
ganda has played the strike as evidence
of disunity, as symptom of class strug-
gle, as reason why we cannot produce
that the American people are not behind
their government"
We know that these interpretations
are false. We also know that the SLOW
down in production will prolong the war
and cost many American, British, Rus
sian, Chinese and other lives on our side.

hopeful that the OPA will lift the
present ban on pleasure driving, 50
far as "A" card drivers are con-
cerned. That would be sensible
move by Washington. Already OPA
inspections have had the effect OF
irritating so many workers in war
production plants that some Of
them are outspoken in their resent
ment. Not a few have said that
rather than be continually subject
to interference they will choose
work that does not require driving.
A large volume of such sentiment
would make the manpower problem
even more serious than it now is.
Continued impairment Of the right
of "A' card holders to decide for
themselves how they shall use thetx
allotment will seriously affect public
morale. Were any gasoline to be
saved by the OPA ban, the public
attitude would be different. What
angers is the futility, not to say stu
pidity, of the ban.

Acute meat shortages in many local

The New York Journal of Commerce so
states They 60 on to comment on the
incompetent management of the meat
problem by OPA and other government
agencies" This in their opinion is the
cause for most of the present price and
production difficulties. If we all knew
the cause of the difficulties we would be
pretty smart The general feeling is
that things are not being properly man
aged, but to decide what's Wrong-if
there is something wrong-with the pic
