The U. S. Department of Com- _merce, in its recent statistics re- «garding debts of cities, calls atten- tion to the fact municipal payments are much higher than what the fed- .erals get from the city taxpayers. The department does not take the trouble to speeify what is secured for the money. Local administration has always cost much more per .capita than federal taxes per capita; ~and it 1s a question whether at any time in the history of the Republic has the ratio between the ~been as close as in our age. two “'TEACHERS AND THEIR MONEY Thus the school teachers of the Tcity maintain their individuality, =their liberty of action to contribute =to the Mayor's fund or not to con- stribute. Had the teachers' councii | =accepted the Mayor's proposal to weontribute 2 per cent of their mealaries to the “Christmas fund” Sthe sum realized would have ap- “proximated $5,400. It is possible that #he teachers may contribute more ethan this under their own plan, or *that they may contribute less: On *,this point the Mayor will naturaliy s be deeply interested. v The Board of Education wisely re- “frained from attempting to tell the teachers what to do under the cir- cumstances, leaving the subject for taction by the teachers' council after +the Mayor was heard in person. Not { being subject to political pressure «or any’other kind of pressure, the . teachers came to their decision ac- :cording to their collective lights. The Mayor has not had excessively clear sailing with his plan for such contributions. But he is convinced, and many others with him, that money must be found for the pur- pose intended. The Mayor is op- posed to obtaining the fund from Tegular budget sources if that pos. sibly can be avoided; yet nobody to our knowledge has stated he would be eriticized if he placed more re- liance upon tax money rather than | attempting the unique experiment of trying to obtain the necessary funds through other channels. It is our impression that at least | part of the fund will have to come from the tax.funds anyway. The city | is botind to help where such assist- ance is necessary, has already done well In this respect, and the logical conclusion is that the work must continue regardless. Faced with these factors there is only one alternative; and the Mayor | ultimately will have to come to lli‘ despite the promises to do nothing | to bulge the tax rate. Our opinion still holds good that | bulging the undertaking no- body's disapprovay | tax rate for such an | will meet with FINANCES AND HABIT Mr. Rogers says the Republican party will triumph because of the state’s financial record The party may triumph merely be cause the majority of voters in the state cannot break an old habit. Let Mr. Cross, howeve He is wrong. | come for- ward with a cogent reason why ne will be elected. Prior to the election any kind of statement will be appropriate so loig as it is optimistic. CORRECT; BUILD Superintendent School THI; SCHOOL Holmes of the Board deserves support his suggestion—or reite ion the for of a former suggestion—that city proceed at once to construct a new school on Oak street on land alreay owned by the city. What 15 to be The building, as gained by delay? the superintendent emphasizes, would relieve conditions in three schools and could be con- structed at this time at the lowest possible cost. Incidentally it would provide ecmployment for men who need it. It is folly for the city to hang back in a case such as this. The building must be constructed in the near future, and the city possesses the land for no other purpose. What s the idea, for instance, in walting until prices of construction wdvance? That would not be economy but a specles of waste. SOUTHERN OUTLAWRY Once again another southern mob has lynched a Negro. This species of law deflance has become epidemic in the South. The past month has seen half a dozen such indications of communal outlawry, leading to the assumption that there is a vio- lent fever abroad in that section of tHe land. All such episodes are pretty much alike. The unfortunate victim Is tor- tured and slain withont trial mercly to provide the countryside with an opportunity to “show the Negro his place” and to ‘protect hood.” If such disreputable actions protected anybody there would have been no need of further lynchings long ago. As a deterrent of bad habits among the colored race or the white race, lynchings are fail- ures. woman- When the southerners point to the North, however, they seek to have all laws obeyed, especially the prohibition law. They regard the North as pecullarly lawless in fail- ing to observe the prohibition law. Between the two types of law de- flance we much prefer the kind we have. WALKING FOR A LIVING New Britaipites, reading of the walking exploits of Paul Heller, the mail carrier who completed 30 years | of travel through the West End, coud not help marveling at the amount of hiking such a career brings to a man. Hiking, by the way, is healthful exercise, so that a let- ter carrier, of all persons, should feel fit as a fiddle most of the time. To the best of our knowledge most of them do. Our reporter, aided and abetted by the post office authorities, com- puted that Mr. Heller has walked around the world 30 times “without leaving the country.” During that time, we feel inclined to say, he never, during his off hours, took a walk for recreation. Yet there is a chance of being mistaken in this, seeing that bricklayers on rainy days often are seen standing around a building operation to see how it looks; or bus and truck drivers, if they ever have days off, go auto- mobile riding for pleasure. Mail Carrier Heller has completed a splendid record in the service of the public, and though he has been paid for doing it, we know he does it well and is the soul of smiling courtesy. His customers in the West End will join the large post office staff in wishing him another 30 years of hiking. NET AND GROSS Public education is not confined to the public schools. The New Brit- ain public has had a forceful presen- tation, through the medium of Bos- ton lawyers, regarding what consti- tutes the difference between the city's net and the gross grand list And so be it discovered that the Mayor's pet current bond issue is placed on what piquant colloquialism would term the skids. Public attention is also directed to the frequently overlooked fact tha' there. is a high proportion of un- | taxable property in the city; which means that the taxable property provides protection and advantages for that which is untaxed. The Mayor remains optimistic, | however, saying that his substitute | plan of drawing on a special tax of one and a half mills on next year's budget will positively not be per- | mitted to increase the tax rate over | what it is today. Such optimism at | least is laudable. It is easily under- stood that no Mayor wishes to add to the tax help it, and Mr. Quigley has from the start been rate if he can a strong advocate of less taxes. The city tax mo will require just so much however; and how many mills it will take to get it will de- | pend somewhat upon the size of the | grand It first the Mayor can pro- | class the problem list duce a increase in the grand list will be | mplificd the bit o' It's 'ifs” that create just a| wee doubt FAST JUSTICE | Clark's the | | Neil World" Milwat M article in Work regarding justice in | e is attracting considerable | only 86| Chicago, acknowledged | headquarters of the most desperale | attention.

There such Milwaukee, carefully avoid the place The reason difference are none in Criminals for (his remarkable is that justice moves swiftly while in knows and surely in Milwaukee, Chicago—well, everybody. how justice is handicapped there. The one muncipal court and its one judge in Milwaukee—presiding EW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD over a jurisdiction in the county em- bracing more than 600,000 people— disposes of all cases with lightning- like rapidity. It is very rare that a case is as old as a week. One burglar recently who committed his crime at midnight was en route to the penitentiary to serve an elght-year sentence by noon next day. Judge George A. Shaughnessy Is the whole works in the municipal court, disposing of an average of 150 cases a month. Court lasts until 7 p. m. when necessary. There are no gang murders, no bargains, no bartering of justice, no easy money for professional bondsmen, investi- gations are made immediately and reports flow in promptly, no delays. The innocent gain their freedom quickly, the guilty as speedily are punished. Nothing discourages crime 8o much as the certainty of speedy punishment, a knowledge that tech- nicalities will not count, a realiza- tion that justice and not crime has the advantage. THOSE HIGH-POWERED STATIONS The Federal Radio Commission is to be commended in not rushing pellmell into a plan to permit nu- merous radio broadcasting stations to climb into the super-power class; that is to say, 50 ‘kilowatts or 50,000 watts. That there is an endeavor present by the owners of varigus ambitious broadcasters not only to extend their reach into space, but there probably is also a hope that by such action the competition of smaller, and usually independent, stations might be blanketed. A half dozen high-powered stations in the New York area, for {instance, might easily blanket the dozen or so smail fellows, which would be tantamount to putting ‘them off the air. OUR FOREIGN CONDUCTORS Our orchestra leaders are return- ing from abroad. course, the leaders of the nafion’s symphony orchestras of the first class. No first class symphony con- ductor, to our knowledge, has ever condescended to spend the summer in the United States. As soon as the last concert is given in the apring they jump on a boat to *“go abroad.” That apparently is where they ob- tain their inspiration. Always, too, they bring with them what is termed ‘“new music.” The said new music could be obtained just as easily by mail, and indeed some of it is in the country hefore the symphony directors bring their copies from ‘abroad.” (For further information they might inquire of the Congressional Library in Wash- ington, which misses nothing of mo- ment at home or abroad so long as a domestic or international copy- right is secured.) There appears to be only one American-born American conductor of a symphony orchestra, and his name happens to be pretty well known. He is Joseph Littau, who has been the conductor of the Roxy Symphony orchestra, which under his baton has been doing a much better job over the ether every Sunday than the much-tout- ed ensemble conducted by Walter Damrosch with Floyd Gibbons as a side kick and long statements about the electric industry taking the place of djscussion about the music, such as Roxy takes the time to give. It is with pleasure, therefore, that one notes Mr. Littau has accepted the conductorship of the Omaha Symphony Orchestra, thus becom- ing the first native-born American conductor of a recognized high grade symphonic body. ~Mr. Littau, by the way, did not go to Europe for his inspiration this summer. Musically the country will never amount to much until there are about a dozen American conductors of symphony orchestras. The foreign brand are good without question; but there is also no question but that they are somewhat prejudiced to- ward European ideals and European music. Anyone imagining there fs no propaganda in this respect should merely take note of the programs of a winter.

The officers’ report in which the suggestion was made declared that such a plan was coming “as certain- lv as the three eight-hour shifts displaced the two 12-hour shifts in centinuous production.” “It is inevitable,” the report continued, “that the rapidly increas- ing use of power and the introduc- tion of more massive automatic machinery must be accomplished by a rapid decrease in the length of the work day and the work week ia many*of our industries. “A radical reduction in the hours of labor has become an economic nec ty to the producer as well as the inventor and consumer.” Prisoner’s Tip Prevents Escape of Five Others New Haven, Oct. 2.—What was believed to have been a plot of five men sentenced to terms in state prison to escape from the prisoners' pen in criminal superior court was frustrated through a tip from an- other prisoner, court room attaches said yesterday.

FOR BEST RESULTS HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS doctrines of Prince of Sawyer,” revived in Adams and is a Usr Eoae——— — RUTH M. HUM Teacher of Piano 1394 Stanley St. Phone 802 Belvidere Section laws | committee | New York, Oct. 2.—This iy Ladies’ Day in this spire of sapience. Any man who doesn’t care for th? idea can hunt up a nice dock, yoo: hoo for me and I'll give him & lovely running push. With love and kisses! Most of the so called male geniuses I know should be hopping counters. And they would be were it not for wives, mothers or sweethearts. But do the ladies get credit? Al- most every man will resent the im- plication that his wife had anything to do with his financial success. He is always self made, the liar. No- body helped him, no’sir-ee! We columnists, for instance, are 80 busy blabbing about ourselves we rarely mention patient souls in the background who keep us from appearing in public with one shoe black, the other tan or perhaps a dragging garter. I know one who can pose for a bag of soiled laun- dry even on Sunday. And you know what —there are three novelists who cannot comb their hair. Eighty per cent of the geniuses in private are dunkers and gravy soppers. Most of the bright things they say at dinner parties were voiced by their wives across the breakfast table. And don't let them kid you! I am not hazarding a guess in announcing one of the superlative wits of the banquet boards has his speeches written for him. I happen to know his wife has prepared them for years. And she, bless her heart, is the type they refer to as “an old fashigned soul and a bit dowdy.” She's the keenest wise-cracker in town, The ladies have been mighty fine sports about it all. They take clip after clip on the chin without a whimper. They will beam when someone gushes: “Your husband is so mentally alert—so brilliant. Tt must be wonderful to be in his com- pany so much. So stimulating!" All the time they know the dumb- bell talks to himselt in the bath, can't spell a three-syllable word without flying to the dictionary, sita around mooning like a sick calf when things go wrong, and has to be constantly pepped up with flat- tery. If he is stimulating, 80 is ether. The bravest of men—and if any men have read this far they are suckers—are not nearly so brave as the average woman. It is my slov- enly custom to evade issues. In matters of no importance I often say one thing and mean another. But my wife, like most every other wife, faces each problem squarely. Softly ferainine, in emergencies she is surprisingly adamantine. She won't be bluffed. And that is true of every other good woman. The economic crisis developed & brand of feminine spunk that was the huckleberries. While two-fisted men were fluttering around— What to do! What to do!—over the loss of mere “paper profits” there were women, two of my acquaintance, who accepted the loss of important secretarial jobs without a murmur and became housemaids until the storm blew over. T once saw a theater audience gtipped in stark terror by a sud- den puff of smoke. As it crouched perilously to plunge for exits a young girl as fragile as Lillian Gish scrambled upon the stage and shouted: “If any man leaves this theater before I do he is a miserable coward.” And thus was a panic averted. The weaker sex—two ha, ha's and a rousing ho ho! I have seen any number of women who could drink a table of men smack under it and clap hauds to go places. The invet- erate female smoker will puff twice as many cigarettes as the inveterate male, This is not particularly to their credit but Jt is a physiological fact. Ask any doctor who is braver iu affliction. - I remember when it was said wo- men could not prosper in the hard- boiled world of the theater. It was too rough. But along came Anng Nichols with her mediocre “Able’s Irish Rose” and with little man- agerial experience made more mon- ey than Ziegfeld ever made out of a “Follles.” . There is scarcely any calling a woman cannot pursue with the finegse of the man and I have look- ed into the matter deeply with th> pessible exception of kettle drum - ming. I know they excel at the zith er, though. I hope nty wife doesn't read all this extravagant praise for the la- dies. If she does—look for me in the necklace department of Tif- fany's, the sad eyed, long faced bird with the thin neck. ) (Copyright, 1930, McNaught Syndicate, Inc.) Chinese and Aztec Link Found by Archaelogist Los Angeles, Oct. 2 (P—The theory of a connection between Chinese and Aztec civilizations was announced here today by G. Ryden, archeologist, as the result of the finding of ancient funeral urns in a buried city in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. The urns are believed by Ryden to date back to at least 2,500 B. C. The archeologist_brought 26 of them here. They stand from two to four feet in height and were taken from excavations made in tombs beneath an old city at the Hacadera Los Copales.

O. Statistics Editor Herald: In your edition of last night you published an article concerning Mr. Heller’s service in post office depart. ment a3 a carrier. This article stressed the fact that he had walk- ed 750,000 miles in his 30 years of service, the equivalent of 30 trips around the world. I have never questioned the veracity of any statements ¢ontained in the Herald and far be it from me to belittle Mr. Heller's record but it the factsare correct asstated, the U. 8. government is surely over- working our postal employes. To analyze what this statement means, 750,000 miles in 30 years means 25,000 miles a year. Suppose Mr. Heller worked 365 days a year this would mean about 68 miles & day for every #May including Sun- days and holidays for 30 years. The army gait figures out that it takes 17 minutes to walk a mile or about 3 1-2 miles per hour. Dividing this 68 miles per day by a rate of 3 1-2 mllgs per hour gives us about 19 1-2 hours required to walk 68 miles daily. When did Mr. Heller gjeep and eat if he walked 19 1-2 houts a day in the service of the government ? This story if true should be sent™to Mr. Ripley, author of “Believe It or Not.” § “A STICKLER FOR FACTS.” GEN.
