Unless debates are arranged Mr. Rogers won't ~bother about mentioning any of these to any extent. Had the American Revolution oc- curred in 1930 no doubt the English newspapers would be referring to the revolutionists as Communists in- spired by Moscow, etc. A series of cartoons being printed is called “In Old New England,” and ..pictures the doings of rural citizens such as nobody has ever noticed trom the tip of Maine to Greenwich.

BOND ISSUES AND THE GRAND LIST Mayor Quigley realized as far back as last May—probably years _previously—that there was a differ- “ence between , issuing bonds upon assessed property in the city and _upon the total of the entire grand list. When Boston lawyers recently re- “‘fused to pass bonds issued upon the total grand list he probably was not surprised. The only reason he did not object to the plan in the first place, it seems, was that a technical _reason existed for attempting it. employment. “Work, not doles,” is to be the watchword. ; But what if not enough work is found? That at least is a probability. Then there will have to be an en- largement of the work known as public welfare, the support of fami- lies by the city; and this i some places in the world is regarded as a close kin to the dole system. We dislike to refer to welfare work as doles; but in essence there is little difference. —_— THE $150,000 LOAN As it §s now pretty genepally un- derstood, Mayor Quigley’s special $150,000 loan, to be utilized for un- employment relief through the street department and the public welfare department, will be spread as a general tax over a period of five years. This will bring $100,000 to the street department and $50,000 to the public welfare department. That is a satisfactory method of meeting with whatever emergency develops. The floatation of this loan and its special tax is a realization that the earlier system of two-per- centing various individuals could not be depended upon to yield the neces- sary money. No intelligent criticism will be forthcoming over the special five- year tax and loan. The only point of criticism is that the plan wasn't started sooner. A TELLING GRAPH The Moderation League, Inc., of New York has made a telling use of the Literary Digest poll on prohibi- tion by issuing it in the form of graphs, comparing the results of the 1022 poll and that of 1930. In this | way the progress of anti-prohibition sentiment throughout the states is given “at a glance,” being so easily comprehended that even dry organi- | Brazil had what NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1930. ideals of government coincided more closely with those of the Demo- cratic party than those of the Re- publican party. During the past year he has tried to crawl into the Re- publican party and run for office on its ticket; with the result that he found the “not wanted” sign up on the door. His attempt to “bore from within” was equally unsuccessful. His attempt to get elected as un in- dependent is foredoomed to failure. He should have the courage of his convictions and come out flatfooted for Dean Cross. Otuside of politics the professor has had a wholesome influence in the state. He has, without doubt, made the organization wince on sev- eral occasions, and Mr. Averill has been forced to take refuge in dubious technicalities. 1t Mr. Levitt's only reason for not having remained with the Demo- cratic party is because he thinks it has “no chance” of victory in Con- necticut, then he needs be reminded that no Republican in this state can gain the favor of the organization if he happens to possess the views of Mr. Levitt. There is no other place for the professor than a lining up with Dean Cross. BRAZIL AND HER REVOLT The statement has been heard that it Brazil had a larger army she would be able to put down the revolution within her gates. That is supposed to sound impres- sive; but it loses some of its im- pressiveness when analyzed. There are too many ex-presidents, governors, senators and state offi- cials mixed in the Brazilian revolu- tion to buttress such an argument. might be termed an army, but most of it scems to be on the side of the revolutionts The other day six “army planes” even in zation leaders can comprehend forthwith.

Command:rs of war boats have pldyed the same stunt. 1t s lucky Brazil didn't have a bigger army and navy. If she had possessed them the revolution would have been over—with complete vic- tory—shortly after it started. As happened in Argentina; and as has happened in other places ere this.

Of course, if freight trains grew no longer no fewer men would be needed. But the appliance it is frankly admitted, will permit longer trains without fear of the fellows in the caboose being so far removed from the engineer as to make them feel they are in another county. The tendency has been toward longer freights on virtually every railroad. Where in the old days locomotives could manage 40 or 50 loaded freight cars at best, the mod- ern monsters can pull 100; and in order to facilitate such long trains the heaviest of rails have been lald. An-instance of that is right along tho Waterbury branch running through the city. All things considered, it takes no larger crew to handle a train of 100 cars than one of 50; and with radio sets on board it may take even less. Factsand Fancies By ROBERT QUILLEN No doubt if truth were told, those darned Reds prayed the recent drouth on us. Yet there is still respect for law in regions where it is worldly to pitch horse shoes on Sunday. Radicals are people who get hang- ed until Conservatives decide to steal their ideas. A new picture by the Marx broth- ers makes you wender why they didn't just repeat the old one by re- quest. The cotton crop is fair, but the price is so low that many families haven't a pint of calomel in the house. And juet a few years ago, brother could prove ownership of his pa- jamas by the holes burned in front. Swimming pool days are over, but you can collect as many germs by assoclating with open-face sneezers. A backward land is one where employers pay small wages so the: can make enough money to provide charity for needy workmen. But why permit a practice that is harmful and wicked when a few Ruselans do it? Americanism: Attributing pros- perity to our own brilliance; blam- ing hard times on Providence and Reds. Don't judge the Neanderthal man too harshly. What will future archaeologists think of us if they dig up comic strips? Now all the banks need s some- thing to make a bell ring at police when the cashier is short. One explanation of many things is that moderns can so easily get to where the neighbors can't sec them.

AID TO FARMERS Says Fight Just Begun fo Assist Agriculture Moscow, Idaho, Oct. 14 (P)—Sen- ator W. E. Borah, told wheat farm- ers in a campaign address here last equality be- tween agriculture and industry” the opening of the next congress. “The time has come for a show- down to find out whether the pledges of our political parties as regards agriculture are going to be kept,” he said. His part in the “farm relief fight” he said, had “just started.” Little Faith in Board He added he had “little faith” in | the federal farm board's ability to help wheat farmers without the de- | benture system. “The farm board started out | right,” Senator Borah said. “Legge (Alexander Legge, chairman of the farm board) set out to do the mar- keting for the farmer. But about that time Julius Barnes and other gentiemen of the United Btates Chamber of Commerce wenty to Washington. They convinced Legge that he was on the wrong tracki:at least I presume they did, for Legge quit. And instead he began preach- ing for a reduction in acreage. “The effects of dumping he min- imized, saying it was old stuft for traders whe practice it by selling on foreign markets below prices wheat would sell for in this country.” Comments On \Wheat Referring to recent charges of wheat “dumping” by the Russian Soviet, the senator said: “On one of the four days Russia was selling her 7,000,000 bushels of wheat, 100,000,- 000 bushels were being sold on the Chicago exchange. “Russia we can't touch; but it it was_wrong for Russia to sell we should grab by the nape of the neck {the men at Chicago responsible for allowing it.” The tariff controvers he said, +vas simply a battle “between the east and west. The senator asserted the east is interested only in buying foodstuffs on the cheapest world market. He said he would vote ageinst every tariff bill which did not “recognize” western agriculture.

To the best of our knowl- edge, this has times. No progress of much moment is likely to come. There will always be a twilight zone in the zoning regula- tions—referring to the districts be- | tween residences and business. The | latter—so long as the city grows or | changes its spots commercially—will continue to demand a larger slice of the residence portions.

These figures would indicate that the entire United States is more than 2 to 1 agalnst the present law; in other words, that repeal and modifi- cations number 69.6 per cent, whilc prohibitionists number only 30.4 per cent. 1t a reduction for the prohibition- ists from 39.2 per cent to 30.4 per cent required eight years, how long will it take prohibition, at the same | rate, to reach zero? The question is academic, but if you are interested the reduction was 1.1 per cent a year; and as there re- mains 30.4 per cent of prohibition- ism to eradicate, it will take 27.64 years. But in practical performance it probably will take much less than that. THE PROFESSOR STILL BEING EDUCATED Professor Levitt’s terrible time in Redding can easily be understood.

BERLIN'S RIOT Rioters who caused the riots in front of the Reichstag in Berlin numbered only 300; yet news of the disturbance traveled throughout the world and perhaps gave some the impression that another revolution was being started. The main point about the riot, however, is that the police managed to clear the streets after the 300 | Communists and Fascists had emptied their pistols in the air. And it must not be overlooked that sev- cral thousands of other citizens ably aided the police. 1t may not be difficult for 300 people 'bent on start trouble; but what is most im- portant is who finishes it. In the Reichstag itself the cleav- age between the Communists and Fascists immediately presented it- self.
