We need a re-awakening of the con-
sciousness Of the significance OF in
dividual effort, and return to
teaching in the simple term of par
able and example. We ought to
scrap all the complicated money
and-price economics and come back
to the fact that practical economics
is mixture Of selfishness and SYM
pathy. putting into the mixture rs
much sympathy as is consistent with
survival and on more.
I'VE should define the right Of in
dividual security as conditioned by
the obligation to work to the extent
of capacity and express 1t in terms
OF realities, as standard of living
consistent with national production
capacity. But the leadership which
aims at power does not use this
method"

Not inclusive Of the l940 l94i and
l942 tax lists, during which time de-
linquent taxes were comparatively
light, a total OF $496, 650.48 in back
taxes remained outstanding on the
city's books as of December 81. 1943.
Since 1910 the administration has
succeeded, through the medium OF
cash payments, attachments and coll
lections, IN establishing on the books
total credits Of $979, 525.54 against
the total tax delinquency figure out
standing when the present group
took office. OF this latter figure It
was necessary to write-off $2l9, $40 .48
under provisions Of Section 1897 Of
the 1941 supplement to the General
Statutes which went into effect
April /, 1912
The provisions of this legislative
act, which applies to all cities and
towns within Connecticut, restraints
the municipalities from collecting
any taxes except those existent
within fifteen years after the taxes
were levied.
At present the combined efforts
Of the tax collector, corporation
counsel and city sheriff are prov
ing successful it Is reported in the
collection of delinquent water taxes
of which 1t Is estimated some $26,-
600 is due the city.
Procedure for collection of these
taxes calls for the issuance Of a
list OF individual delinquent by the
tax collector to the City Sheriff.
The sheriff then attempts collec-
tons, giving ample time for pay
ments to he made, and If not sue
cessful The accounts are then turned
over to the corporation counsel who
In turn can and will bring action.
The Mayor. by way OF clarifying
the need for such action, in his in
augural address stated, "the city,
for example, Is in theJ business Of
selling water and there is no reason
why it should not employ, in the
collection of old accounts, the same
procedure as used in private bus
mess.
When the 1913 budget estimate
relative to prior years taxes col
lectible in l943, was set-up in the
latter part of 1912, the city budget
director estimated that $4,000
would be collected on delinquent
taxes during the year. Figures as
Of December 81, 1913, now reveal
that approximately $l15,360 has
been collected which is approx
mately $500 over the June, 1913,
revised estimate of the budget direc-
tor of $4,000.
Latest tax figures also reveal that
$292, 473 has been over-collected on
the 1943 budget estimated collections
OF the current tax levy of IS, l6l, 200,
the latter being 80 per cert of the

mitted after he pleaded guilty to

total grand list which basis is re-
stricted by state statute. In his
June revised estimate based on the
previous six months operations the
budget director advised the board OF
finance that approximately $294, 200
might be over collected.
Rough estimates state that the
city will stand to lose on Old Age
Assistance tax from approximately
5000 residents over 81 years of age
now in armed forces. At present the
local tax office is completing q
canvass Of those eligible to pay the
SO tax. Officials are working in
conjunction with the local draft
boards checking against the latter's
official lists to determine eXemp-
tons.
II has been revealed that the city
of Hartford is faced with the same
delinquent tax situation and Mayor
William Mortensen has indicated
that an extensive collection drive
will be forthcoming there, soon.
Figures released by Tax Collector
James F. McCourt of Hartford re-
veal that taxpayers of that city owe
approximately $470 900 to the city
OH back taxes.
A plan similar TO Waterbury's Is
being conducted in Hartford where
by the corporation counsel, tax coll
lector and city sheriff are cooperat-
ing in the campaign.
Hartfords tax collector McCourt
yesterday assailed the limitations
statute affecting the collection OF
back taxes saying, ut seems to me
very poor business for the city TO
have to wipe off taxes every year in
this way.

Suit Challenges
Civil Service

A temporary restraining order
and an order to show cause why
the restraint should not be perma-
nent were issued today by Circuit
Judge Neuenfelt against Wayne
County, its civil service commits
sion and board OF auditors, after
the filing of test suit TO deter
mine whether the commission has
jurisdiction over judiciary EN-.
ployes.
Hearing on the order was set
for Nov. 10.
Edward L. Piggins. attorney for
James p. Duncan, a clerk In the
circuit court commissioners office
whose rating was recently lowered
by the commission, told the court
the state attorney general had
ruled that judiciary employees per-
forming state functions were not
classed under civil service.
Since the constitution forbids
one branch Of government inter-
fering with another, the legality
Of the commissions actions should
have been questioned long ago,
Piggins said.

Coalition Bloc

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10 (UP)
Confronting President Roose-
welt today is the challenging and
difficult task of leading. in his
next term, the broadest front po-
iitical coalition OF our modern his
tory. ranging from conservatives
in the South to Communists In
the North and East.
Returns from Tuesdays gen.
eral election show that the New
Deal-Democratic party virtually
has absorbed the left wing Of
American politics without losing
its hold in the usually solid South.
But significantly, the returns
also show that the Democrats and
left wingers outside the South
could have elected Mr.. Roosevelt
this time even IL southern Demo
Gratis had made good their noisy
threats Of bolts and rebellion.
1t appears. therefore, that II
the President wants TO resume
the earlier New Deal tempo of
social and economic reform he
might undertake TO do so regard
less of southern sensibilities. On
the face Of the electoral and pop
ular vote. he apparently has a
mandate TO proceed.
The hitch Is that the left wing
of the New Deal-Democratic
coalition Is weak in Congress. The
southern states which accepted
Mr.. Roosevelt's fourth term NOM
ination reluctantly-but which re-
fused to bolt-send TO Congress
men who generally are conserva-
tive and often anti-New Deal.
