tax rates and budgetary increases seems at this time to be comparable to drawing 8 herring across the trail. Too much false importance can be given to the in- SiStence that tax rate, must be static or movable only in downward direction. A municipality'S economic structure must be flexible to meet the just demands that may be placed upon it and if it is not so it can become more Stagnant than if it suffered from an excessive spending spree or an abnormal curtailment of all expen- itureS.
 For the sake of discussion, conSidera- tion given to an increase in the city'S tax rate on reasons presented in the boards findings, leads one to believe that in face of the inequality which exists, and termed by responsible authorities as an injustice, that it is unfair for any group to deny the opportunity for elimination of that in- equality based on reasons of an "unwrit- ten law'' which says that tax rate must not exceed fixed level More to the point, we believe that it would not neceS- Sarily be the case of the education depart ment, in this instance, having to increase their entire budget by the lump sum of $27,000, the figure required to establish civilization for one year. From a review of that departments budget it seems more than likely that the major part of the adjustment could be made within the budget to meet this demand with no ef- feet on the city'S overall tax rate.

Wrong Model

Matthew Smith, secretary of the Me chanicS Educational Society of America, may find that he has patterned his war time labor department after the wrong model. In defying War Labor Board subpoena; in announcing that his unions strike in A war plants has been halted only temporarily; in announcing that his actions are subject to his policy com mittees approval, he has out-Lewised John L. Lewis.
 MT. Lewis was successful in this sort of maneuvering. But the public, the armed forces, and, it may be suspected, the gov ernment, got pretty mad at MT. Lewis coal strikes. They don't want any more of them They're little tired of Lewis tactics.
 Maybe nobody tells Mr. Smith these things. But it is just possible that he might awake one day to find that the government has invoked the full meas ure of the wartime strike law against him, and then throw the book at him.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-02-18
Bleak Prospect

The rubber shortage is an old story by now. But it might be told again, if only to temper the too sanguine hopes of some motorists who see, in the growth of the synthetic rubber industry, prospect of more abundant passenger car tires in the near future. We'll the prospect is not much better. An indirect indication of that is the recent announcement that the basic price of raw Brazilian rubber has gone up 15 cents pound. That is no signal for anyone to get in father of indignation, either, no matter how he feels on the pro-and-con discussion of Squandered dollars in South America. We need natural rubber at any price. And we are not getting gypped when we pay 60, instead of 45 cents a pound for it. Argentina stands ready to pay several times what Brazil is now getting from us for the entire output of export rubber. The reason for the price rise is that this governments Rubber Development Corp. contracted to send in staple foodstuffs, provide tapperS' supplies, and stabilize transportation costs, all at 1942 level. But prices, as you may have noticed, have gone up. So there was nothing to do but raise the purchase price so that Brazilian rubber producers could still operate at profit.
 There has been some criticism of our shipping Sundry items, from bolts of cloth to sewing machines, into the Amazon rubber country. Whether or not as great a variety of scarce goods has actually been sent as is claimed, the reason for sending these goods is sound. The Serin- gueiro, a sort of individual contractor day laborer who gathers the rubber, gets paid for what he brings in He spends his money in bush-country company stores" If the stores have stock of things he needs, it is an incentive for him to earn more money by producing more rubber. And we still need natural rub Der more than we do sewing machines. Chemists are agreed that the synthetic process is not yet at point where dur ab tire can be made without using some of the natural product. All-Synthetic tires just won't stand up under military and other heavy-duty uses, and they are not fully satisfactory for civilian driving.
 Last year we received 10000 tons of natural rubber from Brazil. This year the supply may be slightly greater, with help from Liberian imports, and from rubber obtained from the Mexican guay- ule and Haitian cryptostegia plants. But our absolute minimum requirement for 1924 is 50O0O tons. So any loosening of gasoline and tire restrictions looks pretty remote. And rubber remains one of our most critical materials

AS A MATTER OF FACT

Polls of public opinion appear to have been reduced to measuring the import ance of public prejudices. Reporters who take their whirls through Washington and other large cities find that the man in the street" is apt to have decided opin- ions, and he may Hove" or "hate," with out moderation Those linen in the street" will tell you that the whole coun- try is going to the bow-wows if So-and-so is elected, while all will turn out fair and lovely if this other-felloW gets in. He may be talking about Roosevelt, Wallace, Dewey or Willkie = those four being the most popular victims of loose converse ton. One matter of importance on the great Home Front concerns the recovery of what might be called ''sober-thinking."

Equalization and the Tax Rate

The recent findings of the board of education teachers committee seems to leave the women teachers in the position of Edgar in ShakeSpeare's King Lear who summed up his plight with these words:
 70 Gods! Who is it can say am at the worst?
 am worse off than ever I was; and worse may be yeti"
 The women teachers presented an ap- peal for equalization of salary. The board presumably took the matter under con- Eideration two weeks ago and presented its findings last Monday night. Some where within the two week period the is sue of equalization was lost and over looked and summary of the findings re- vealed statistical report, not one equillza- tion, but on pay raises for women teach CTS.
 The issue now, as result of the board committees findings, seems to be-When is raise not raise? We think the cor rect answer is-when it is means of bal ancing an inequality in wages to bring about an equalization of those wages. It would not constitute raise, as the word is thought of in terms of wages, to in- crease the women teachers salaries so as to bring about equilization-We think a better choice of word is adjustment.
 The fact that differential in the men and women teachers wages which exist is an injustice, and has been admitted as such by responsible local authorities. We can- not avoid the fact that basic salary rate, which is higher than that set for the women, has been established here for men teachers for performing certain duties. The women teachers are performing these same duties and receiving less than that game basic rate. The injustice is glaring. A balancing increase for the women teachers seems the only alternative as it would be most unfair to attempt solution of the problem by decreasing the basic rate of the men teachers after so many years of its existence.
 To bring into the main issue, as were brought in by the committees findings, other Issues such as pensions, increase in
