The seventeenth amendment to our con- stitution gave women of our country suffrage rights and placed them on equal basis with the men both socially and politically, &0 therefore, it is a married woman's privilege to work if she so desires If there are men or single girls out of employment at present who are capable of filling the positions in our city departments held by married women, why are they out of employment? People with common sense realize that manufacturers or business firma are not discharging efficient help. The idea of finding fault with marricd women working as a means of crying poverty is dis- zusting and those making a practice of doing so would not take a posi- tion -if it was offered them. It is just a poor excuse for their idleness. Should this same person devote the same energy toward seeking a position rather than writing foolish communications they would bc working today. Men and women with ability and ambition are not walking the streets wondering where they are going to get work—they are working. comr was unication printed ith reference to the city's pay- the ALSO A TAXPAYER | uve of all { _THE OBSERVER— Makes Random Observations | On the City and Its People 3 FTTOOCPPEPE: Republicans ‘Twixt Fires as They Look Toward 1932 Republican leaders ported in a quandary over th tude 10 he pted toward change in commissions which the newl elected democratic governor 1o after the gencral as- state are re atti- migh wish to mak scmbly convenes Several commissionerships and Governor Cross will no desire to name men of his own political faith, following out th procedure usually followed wh . pelitical occurs.

This represents an in- crease of about 111; per cent. Practically all the new long-term bond issues are for construction in one form or another. The present high prices for bonds are stimulating new bond flotations, and at the forthcoming elections next mont the voters will pass upon new bond ues totalling about $450.000.000 It is being predicted that the con- gress which convenes in December will make immediately available for federal aid to state highways the $125,000.000 which would not other- wise be available for this purposs until the fiscal year beginning on July 1, 1931, It ix true that in most of the states the actual laying of new road pavements is impracticablo during the winter months. Nevers theless, much excavating and grad- ng c&n be done in the winter. and contracts can be let, which shouid mean the purchase of machinery and materials in the winter in preparation for the new work in the spring. Almost as much is spent in the actual maintenance of roads during the winter as during the summer. and maintenance accounts for almost one-half of total highway expendit This fact is borne out by figures of the federal bureau of public roads. which show that on federal aid highways during re- cent years about forty per cent as many men have been emploved dur- ing the winter as during the sum- mer. ces. Mayor Quigley should think decp- ly of the need for municipalities te do their share toward relieving un- cmployment before he makes a final decision in opposition to tha construction of a £200.000 school for the Northend district COMMUNICATED Taxation Problems Editor, Herald A glimpse into New Britain's tax problem is likely to cause this pro- posed tax bill for New Britain, recognizing the fact that differen sources of income are being very differently burdened with taxes at the present time. Thus wt the real estate owners at the presen 1ime pay from 25 to 50 ner of their income professional peeple. salaried individuals and bendholders pav on the averag: from 1 to 4 per cent of their income TR Here which new cent in taxes we have large ability to pas latively untaxed by system.
