BEING FAIR TO SUBURBS The situation in the northwestern section of the city needs speedy at- , tention. Residents are correct in thelr estimatq that if they are to -‘continue paying present taxes they ure entitled to some visible returns for the money. At present they lack wdequate police protection and pro- * per fire protection; not only are they " en inordinate distance from the . nearest fire houses, but the water - jrressure is uniformly low. In wet ‘_weather the streets are mostly dis- ¢ 1 tinguished by mud; in cold weather ##by rute. There being aftenuated po- - "lice protéction—if any—in that sec- - tion, five fires have occurred recent- " 1y, some of which are ascribed to :-the operation of one or more “fire- bugs,” which it there were sufficient . policemen on hand would have dif- . ficulty in plying this nefarious busi- niess, The outiying sections of the city " are being heard from in increasing measure, and with right. It was only u week or 80 ago that the residents of Barnsdale had a racket with offi- | find themselves surrounded by simi- | “cials over the lack of sewer facili- -"ties, and other advantages that ar€ _.+upposed to be concomitants of ur- _ ban @fe, Like the 2 northwestern part of the city, they are paying their taxes and are ustified in expecting some visible returns for what they pay. The plan of having several taxing ¢ districts has much to commend it. There is no logic in collecting full taxes from a _ full civic services; and no one can claim that either the section or Barnesdale, - some other sections, lLave heen re- ceiving the worth of their money.

FINANCE IN WATERBURY Waterbury seems ‘to be one of those cities where civic financing s {in the mire. Small wonder that when the governor needed a finance min- ister he did not go to Waterbury, | but came to New Britain instead. | According to a detailed story ap- pearing 1n the Waterbury American the excess of city expenditures over appropriations last year amounted to between $300,000 and $400,000, {which caused an “unexpected” big |jump in the city’s floating indebted- ness. There are $4,000,000 in tem- porary loans, and the interest on |them has stirred the administration !into an attempt at economy. | The method down in Waterbury is Newsstands, Estrance | the quintessence of simplicity. Al-| assassinations. Before Lenin, miost every city department spends { more money than was appropriated, !taxes are not collected very rigor- | ously, resulting in large sums of | money due the city in taxes but not ' paid, and theh temporary loahs are | obtained, to be paid when the back |taxes are collected. Two years ago !the temporary loans amounted to |82,000,000; & year ago théy had {jumped to $2,800,000; this year {they are $4,000,000, Before they are {allowed to go any higher the city is due to be alarmed and begin cur- tailing expenditures; also making an attempt to collect more tax money. Of course, an economy program has been mapped out by the finance board. A large number of the street and water department employes will be laid off; the school department's building program will be suspended; there will be partial suspension of the Shepaug water supply project; a halt will be called on building new | fire stations and fire fighting equip- ment; and “deferred” purchases in all departments until later in the year. By that time it is hoped that some tax money will be collected and the total of temporary loans reduc- ed. We would like to sce Edward F. | Hall go to Waterbury and give the | city a few lessons im financing. It would be a bitter dose, but the medi- cine would have astounding curative pyopertic 'When civie affairs get 80 bad that nothing but trouble . is ahead the field is set for a city manager. Per- | haps that is what Waterbury needs. i | | | | | | INDUSTRY IN NEW ENGLAND P. L. Gerety, of Derby, secretary of the New England council in Con- necticut, is entitled to thanks for his abounding effort to .uphold the morale in New England. At a time when many thoughtless persons are of the opinion that New England has been woefully slipping indus- trially, the Derby man took occasion to produce & few “facts and figures” for the edification of an audience in Naugatuck, and he easily converted them to aposties of optimism. The drain of induetry to the south was gnalyzed by Gerety and result- ,ed in an observation that sounds logical. The south, which heretofore has lacked the laws surrounding in- dustry in New England, is beginning to take stock of its needs and gradu- ‘ally 18 adopting laws after the New England model. Industries which have gone to the south in order, st least partly 80, to avoid the strictures placed upon industry in an older in- dusthialized soctety, will in due time lar conditions; for where industry develops in any extensive form laws regulating it are bound to follow. In spite of the loss of some indus- | tries to the south, the steady ad- vance of New England has been | astounding. Not in the textile indus- {try, of course; but there arc other important industrics. Gerety cited | figures showing that this develop- ment has in amazing 1922, during a time when it was thought the exodus to the south was at its height. At the present time 80 per cent of the the rolled brass and copper |is turned out in the New England | states; 75 per cent of all textile ma- | continued fashion even since { installed wher in the usually new plants else- manufactured in . It is probable that zland has gained more from manufacture of machinery used cquip new plants in the south than it Jias lost directly through the location in ite industry. | Of woolen and worsted goods, 65 { per cent are still made in New Eng- land. Other New England figures in- | clude these: That it makes 40 per nz and brass products; is to change of quarters of & billion Jollars—and the south will have to go some to equal it. EXILES IN RUSSIA Exiled to the Chinese frontier in Turkestan, according to some re- ipgru, or to Verna in Middle Asia according to others, Leon Trotsky, | former head of the Red army, has | eaten of the fruits of soviet bureau- ! cracy. His offense was that he did | not. agree with the prevalling mo- | tions of J. V. Stalin, now the boss iof Russia, the head of the com- | munist state. The rule of the pro- | letariat does not.brook a diversity of | opinion. To be one of the circle run- | ning things one must be “on the | committec;” and it not, then in | extle. | been remarkable substitutions in the higher ranks of the soviet hierarchy. | Sverdlov, Volodarsky and Uritsky, | three active leaders in the early days | of the revolution, did not live long | to see the dire fruits of the adven- ture to which they had deveted their | efforts. Their careers were ended by the | flaming torch of the revolution, died {in 1924 he suffered the fate of a paralytic. Voroveky, propagandist and first soviet representative in { Ttaly, _ was assassinated in Bwitzer- land, in 1928. Krassin succumbed | while soviet envoy to England. | Dzerzhinsky, chief of the secret-po- \lice, the Cheka, executioner of op- ponents, died suddenly and mysteri- ously in 1926. Voikov, who signed the the death warrant of Caar Nicholas and his fanly, himself was assassinated in Warsaw, in 1927, felled by an exiled Russian youth. Zinoviey, able propagandist, but Ppenitent for disputing with Stalin, was sent to Volvgda. Kamenev, who disputed doctrine with Stalin, was sent to Penza, in central Russia, also this week. Both of these penitents have been given jobs in the state education department, to remain in exile, however, until it is certain they | have sufficiently changed their views. Rakovsky, former envoy to ¥France, and Karl Radek, able but indepepdent journalist, were both sent to a region near Archangel, there to repent at leisure, One wonders how long it will take until 8talin, Bucharin, and Rykov, the present triumyirate in control in Moscow, go the same way. For exile in Russia has from time im. memorable been the favorite method of dispensing with dissenters. The czars started the custom, and as the land is big, there is plenty of room ; for exiling purposes. Perhaps some remote and consistently eold town in Siberia or Archangel eventually will become the residence of the present “rulers.” That is, If nothing worse happens.
