First Political Speech In
Current Campaign Heard
In Robson

LUMBERTON, May % - tR -
Former Governor Clyde R. Hoey,
of Shelby, making the first political
speech in his campaign for the u.
S. Senate, said here tonight that
Democrats welcome COMPARE
son of the record of the two par
ties" for the last "a years.
The Republicans can point to
saturnalia of extravaganza and
corruption in the beginning of their
reign and to bankruptcy, depres-
sion, unemployment and general
panic at its close" the former
governor said in prepared adj
dress.
The Democrats rescued the
country from bankruptcy, rehabil-
itated our financial institutions,
opened industry and rejuve1ated
agriculture.
During the last II years the
Democratic party at its best has
been well nigh perfect. but it will
be generally conceded that some
mistakes have been made. But it
should be remembered that the
Democratic party is both able and
willing to correct its own mistakes.
1t isn't necessary to turn Repub-
lican in order to righten our

romance. For "A years of I'M
broken service it has travelled the
high road of accomplishment -
Hoey declared in prefacing re-
view of the achievements.
NO TIME TO HATE
'This is no time to hate" he
said in a plea for party harmony.
The party should settle it's diff
ferences in the established forums
and then bury all differences and
present an united front to the COM
mon enemy.
The solution of postwar prob
lens will require craftsmanship,
not politics. We shall have to deal
with the economic stability of our
own country and the world. We
shall likewise have to exercise a
predominating influence in deter
mining world peace. We must meet
both of these situations with pa
triotic devotion to our own country
and with broad and fundamentally
sound policies for the world.
In order to solve our economic
problems We will have to provide
jobs for the millions returning to
civilian life from war service and
prevent the unemployment of those
now employed in performing thes5
duties. This will require expanding
industry, expanding business ano
expanding agriculture, all of which
must mean expanding commerce.
1t will require the cooperation OF
business, industry. labor and agri-
culture in connection with govern.
ment-federal, state and local-in
order to successfully work out
these problems.
REDUCED TAXES
Following the close of the war
one of the first things Congress
should do would be to reduce taxes,
which would materially aid in &C
comprising this result. Taxes must
continue at high levels during the
progress of the war, but when it
closes, the burden should be light
ened upon the individual and upon
business, so both can be free to
develop and expand.
THE thing OF transcendent i'm
portance, h w ev eT. will be the
making of peace and the transferr-
ing of our nation and the world
peacetime basis. and then the es-
Enlistment of a world order to

clubs and later at public meet

Many Of these traineeS were sent
to the local Center as employees of
local war industries and received
full-time training pay-rates while
engaged in the training period. The
remainder enrolled at the Center Of

BIDS ON RECORD
FOR REVALUATION
Committee to Setup Defin-
lite Standards to Deter
mine Extent OF Task

The city revaluation committee at
its first meeting last night received
two bids for revaluing the city's
grand list when John Hutchinson
local realtor and D. A. Mccarthy
head of the Municipal Service Co.
Of New Britain submitted formal bid
prices.
Mayor Monagan who presided at
last nights meeting said that Will
liam F. Connolly tax assessor of the
city Of Bridgeport made informal
application last night but named no
figure as to his estimate of what the
job would cost. Mr.. Connolly made
an uncompleted revaluation of Wa
terbury's grand list in 1929.
The mayor stated that at the
present he could not reveal the
estimates submitted by the realtors
because the method and the work
involved was different in each case.
At the next meeting of the COM
mittee to be held Feb. 10 an attempt
will be made to place the require
ments of the job on a uniform
basis so that it can best be de-
termined what will be required of
each bidder. 1t is expected that more
bids will be submitted at the next
meeting.
The revaluation is being under
taken upon the recommendations of
the state tax commissioner Office
following a survey made last year
of the local system when it was
stated that Waterbury was the in
heritor of an archaic and out

CITY employees
BOOST SAVINGS
Win Treasury Dept. Flag
for 90 Percent War
Bond Participation

City employees will be awarded a
q. s. Treasury pennant for 80 per
cent participation in payroll savings
plan for War Savings bonds it has
been revealed by the January report
compiled by city authorities.
Figures compiled for the month
show an exact 80 per cent participa-
ton by the 1899 city employees con-
tributing to the plan, out of the
total 1850 employees.
OF the IS departments participant
Ing 20 are contributing 100 per cent
an increase of departments into
this category over the previous
month when figures then showed a
total of Sc per cent participation.
Those departments not in the 100
per cent class, and their ratings are
as follows: education (maintain-
ence), "a per cent; education (oper-
atom, SO per cent; teachers, 95 per
cent; street, SO per cent; fire, 81 per
cent and police, 62 per cent.
The total deduction for the month
from the city general payroll
amounted to $11,863. Cash bond
sales in "E' series bonds amounted
to $2,325; series "F'' $4,000; series
"G'', $780,, for latter total of So
425.
Recently Mayor Monagan urged
all department head to stimulate,
bond buying activities among en-
ployes wherever possible.
1t was pointed out, at the time,
that some confusion was existent
among certain employees in their be-
lief that at least ten per cent or bet
ter had to be deducted before any
credit was given. In many instances
because of the static salary rate of
some of these employees coupled with
their heavy war time expenses it
would have been impossible for them
to meet such demand as they as
sllmed was necessary.
City paymaster Thomas P. McLar-
ney and his assistant Miss Marie
Cesario handle the greater share of
the payroll deduction plan for the
employees. 1t is believed that further
attempts will be made to stimulate
purchases within those departments
revealed as tagging behind.
