Fortunate Milwaukee

Out in Milwaukee, Wis, the citizens
welcomed in the new year with an extra
loud huZza. The occasion was not mere
ly the uShering in of 1914 but represented
the arrival at a point where sufficient
funds had been accumulated by the mu-
nicipal government in a sinking fund to
take care of the city'S entire debt. The
debt can't be Immediately wiped out be-
cause a considerable part of it is repre-
scented by bond issues not due for some
few years, but the citizens no longer will
be contributing taxes to pay off this
bonded debt. Milwaukee, it is claimed, is
the first city of any great size to become
debt free.
Here in Waterbury we have visions OF
the day when our municipal debt will be
completely wiped out or there will be sui
ficient funds in the treasury or in Spe-
cial account which will equal the debt
load. If we were to issue no more bonds
from now on, however, that date would
not arrive until 1894, when the last OF
our outstanding issues will have been paid
Off It's hardly likely, though, that Wa
terbury will go through the next fifty
years without another bond issue, though
it's probable another ten or fifteen years
may find this city engaging in an entirely
different method of public financing or
conditions may remain such for decade
or more that the city can pay for most
of its capital Improvements out of cur
rent revenue.
In addition to that during these lush
times the present administration of
Mayor John Monagan is endeavoring to
use such surplus funds as are accumu-
lated as cushion against leaner days
And creation of capital and non-recur-
ring funds allows any municipality to lay
the ground work for postwar projects
which otherwise would probably demand
flotation of bond issues if they were to be
immediate ones. Waterbury has had its
full share of bond issues, as a glance at
the present table of debt service would
show. True, there is much to show for
them, but like everything else bought on
credit, with time the gloss wears off.
During 1943 the city only sold $185000
in bonds; the previous year the total
amount issued was 100000. So the net
bond reduction during these years has
been considerable. This year it should
be even greater, for debt service is still
high, but there is no anticipation of fur
ther bond sales during 1914. In addi-
ton the city's bonded debt now is within
the legal limit, per cent of the grand
list. It should easily remain there as the
decline in debt service annually hence
forth is small but steady. We are max
ing progress towards greater financial
stability.

offered themselves to service, calmly,

We have not included the entire edi-
torial which in its entirety is a beautiful
tribute to these girls that once wore
white. But reading this article should
be an incentive to those at home who
have the time to devote some of 1t to
this profession, even if 1t is only the
Nurses Aid courses, thereby relieving
registered nurses from their duties, and
in this way make it possible for more of
the profession enlisting in active war
service. The over-worked nurse on the
home front, If she should happen to read
the editorial, will not feel that she is so
over-worked, for she is still girl in white

girl" at her job on the battlefield.

No Bid for a Fourth Term

It is easy to believe that the third war
time message of the President was not a
political bid" as it is undoubtedly the
most unpopular and non-political of all
of Mr.. RooSevelt'S demands on Congress.
The President asks Congress for sweep
ing new proposals, at the top of which is
a demand to include practically all men
and women in q new national service law,
ito prevent strikes" Other purposes of
the message are directed towards carry
ing out subsidy plans and increasing tax
alton along the lines heretofore demand
ed by the President, and disagreed to by
Congress.
The demand for drastic legislation to
prevent strikes is a complete turn-about
by the President. Ever since he has been
in office he has fought every measure Of
fered in Congress to enact laws for the
control of labor unions, and the preven-
ton of strikes. He has held executive
authority" over the unions and his Labor
Department and labor agencies have
usually been held in line to suit the wish
es of the tops of the three big union Or
CARNATIONS having headquarters in wash
ington.
The message was a fightin' document
inaSmuch as the President has yielded to
the challenge from Congress that 1t
should pass laws to regulate and prevent
strikes. That ought to be all right, pro-
viding Congress passes its own laws in
stead of putting the okeh on the recon-
mendationS of the President There is
universal approval of the demands to
prevent strikes" But there is no reason
able connection between such policy II

able-bodied man and woman is accepted.

"America" on Girls in White

We read daily of the need for more
nurses. The shortage at the present
time explains itself in the large number
that is doing war duty. In respect to the
war nurse, about whom not so much has
been written as the men in service, the
current issue of the Jesuit weekly Gamer
lea" has paid one of the finest tributes
we have yet seen.
The periodical says editorially, and we
quote in part: Partisan dress designers
have yet to design more beautiful cos
tune than the plain, simple, white uni
form that nurses year. And perhaps God
himself would be hard put to it to devise
a finer opportunity for generous, help
full, cheering service than nursing offers
to young girls in white.
Fright now, on many battlefieldS of
the world the nurses are not robed in
white. They are in khaki, in Stacks, in
dungareeS. The white slippers have given
way to heavy boots, mud-Stained and
clumsy. The jaunty white cap is swal-
lowed up in heavy tin helmet, but the
beauty is still there, the smile is still
there, the service is still there, intenSi-
fed and enobled.

of "Four Jills and Jeep'. Their pic
lures do not fill the papers, for there is

nurses, for their profession is not glamor-
