Our present plan furnishes relief, but will not bring recovery. Quoting from an editorial in Town-send weekly: Mark Sullivan falls into the error of other writers in charging the cost of pensions to national income lather than taking as their basis the tiansnctions volume for taxation purposes. National income is the net on the transactions volume or trade total. If Mr. Sullivan would take the trouble to call tip the statistical division of the department of commerce or study the Dow-Jones report, or read Doane's analysis of both, he would agree that the transactions volume that is, the rerorded volume runs well above 1,200 billions a year, where as the net na- orrosts towvsf.m) i-lan EDITOR.

Coughlin's plan to raise the price of silver and to create a central bank of Lssue; Long's plan to share the wealth and Sinclair's EPIC plan. Now in the height of iu popularity, we are offered the Townsend plan. The Townsend plan provides a pension of $200 per month for all citizens who are 60 years and older of good moral character.
To finance this plan, it is proposed to levy 2 percent on all transactions, increase the present income tax levy by an additional one-tenth percent and levy two percent on all inheritances and gifts in excess of $500. they face and the Importance of the service which they have been chosen to render.

Accordingly, one may bo helped in earning a realistic attitude toward the London naval conference by reading in the fore- ward of the new edition, published last week, asser-tionr like this: "Whatever may be the outcome of the naval conference, there can be no question that the new err-, of capital ship construction has begun. It may be said to have opened with the laying down of the French battleship Dunkerque three years ago.
Despite millions which have been expended in modernizing the capital ships of the United States, Ja-1 pan and, more recently.

Since the three leading powers all possess a number of battleships whose average age is approaching the twenty-four limit, it Is beyond question that re- placement, programs soon will be the order of the day. It will be the task of the conference to insure that programs of this kind are not launched without previous agreement if future armament races are to be avoided." i The taxpayer in his day has paid the bills for a i lot of armament and a lot of wars and perhaps he will continue to pay such bills for years to come.

The suspicion that political influence has crept deep into the jury system and that many grand juries are controlled by and for politicians is evident everywhere. Instances have born known where juries were influenced to "get" foes of the political elements that controlled them while criminals in favor with the political powers escaped indictment. Judge Knight obviously senses this situation and his charge to the December grand jury indicates his PUBLIC ART RENAISSANCE determination to remove it as far as Monmouth county is concerned. His comment upon alleged to private incomes, immoral charant 'f. and lark of citizenship.
This would lea', 9.000.000 persons eligible for pensions. The sum required to provide these 9.000.000 with $200 per month would amount to 21.6 billions of dollars annually. Let us see what this would mean. The average yearly national income produced from 1910 to 1933 according to national bureau of economic research is 58.25 billions of dollars. From this 58 25 billions, will the 21.6 billions come from, to provide this pension.

Dec. 18 Nearly all of the great new public buildings at Washington have ben completed so far as their structure is concerned, but work still is going forward on the interiors.
As the interior decoration is a lengthy job, it probaoiy will be many months before the task is finished. The plans for the decoration have been worked out in detail and it is possible to present a fair idea of what Differenre in Their Political Objectives Empha.sir.ed as Pub-' lie Discusses Effect of Alliance on Republican Party Policle. ture of the treasury department was authorized some time ago to hold com-! petitions among artLsts for small scale i designs and cartoons for tne various projects.

Judge Knight's remarks cannot be too strongly recommended, not only to the grand jury but to a general public that is eager to see the standards of jury service raised. Adherence to their spirit as well as their letter would mean the termination of the wavering prestige and value of grand juries and a restoration of the ideals that the jury system was intended to serve. a tax of 37 percent based on the average national income from 1910 to 1933.

Because this amount must be spent monthly in 12 payments it is pumped into the channels of trade, hence operates to wipe out unemployment. Inns-much as lark of money circulation is the cause of non-recovery it would seem that all right thinking people would welcome the adoption of the plan. It will make passible the repeal of the inheritance tax law under which the government sets it.self in as a "0 percent beneficiary, threatening the complete confiscation of all wealth of thp nation in three or four generations It will abolish every poor farm in the country and definitely stop all drives for this, that and the other charitable organizations. It will reduce crime costs to the vanishing point and put a stop to all government borrowing for any purpose whatsoever, saving thereby the hundreds of millions in interest charges. In short, the Townsend plan will operate to put the country on a cash basis, I can't understand why anyone who wants to save his fortune from confiscation, wouldn't be willing to endorse a plan that proposes to tax only his future commercial transactions.

Attention is given to Mr. Fish's against radicals, and to Senator Borah's consistent attitude toward the liberal side in politics. One conclusion i that their apparent alliance means that they may seek to become running mates on the party ticket. Two recent conferences of the senator and the representative are recalled by the PROVIDENCE JOURNAL, edifices. One major fart arises in connection with any examination of the work and the plans.
The mural paintings, the frescoes, the reliefs, and other decorations represent a sort of renaissance in the type of art of public buildings. While it can scarcely be said that many of the examples belong outright to the modernistic school, there are many examples which show a decidedly modern trend certainly a trend away from the rather standardized art of the public works school of the 19th century. Official art, especially in America, has usually suffered a handicap. Politicians are not often selected from among the artistic craftsmen of any nation and the men in charge of public works too often have had limited ideas concerning what art forms should be displayed. The commission of fine arts has done a great deal to broaden the a'ope of public works art and there has been encouragement, toward courageous departures.
The stiff murals and stifTer statues of the last rentury no longer are in vogue, and Washington, as never Gallery of Art at the national capiial an exhibition of wining designs. Critics have voiced the opinion generally that this new work is more purely American in character thin the work offered in the past. European Influence Disregarded Artists in various media of generations prior to the contemporary one were wont to follow European model, not of the modernist Rodin or Epstein schools but of the classical schools. Excellent work was performed, but it was in a European rather than an American spirit. Nearly all of the painters and sculptors who decorated public buildings in by-gone days either were Europeans themselves or Americans who had spent years in study of European and clas-slcnl models at European art centers.
Richard S. Greenough of Massachusetts usually is regarded as the first American He was sent to Rome to study tnd did most of his work there. When, therefore, he carved a statue of Washington, he put him in a Roman toga, a garment in which the lather of his NO LIE DETECTORS No one is likely to give serious consideration to Hauptmann's proposition for submitting to lie oetector, with the request that Dr. John F. Condon, the "Jafsie" in the case, do likewise.
Some progress may have been made in the development of mechanical devices to detect the emotional sensation produced by prevarication but certainly such devices have far from qualified as an instrument of justice. There can be no objection to giving Hauptmann every chance to prove his innocence of the kidnaping of the Lindbergh especially In view of the circ*mstances that surround his conviction, but resort to freak methods of determining the veracity of his testimony is unthinkable. Furthermore, it seems apparent that the court of pardons, in whom Hauptmann's fate now lies, will give the condemned prisoner every reasonable opportunity to reveal any defense not heard at his trial. The questionnaire submitted by the court of pardons permits the introduction of new evidence and gives Hauptmann a chance to review his case. No more could be asked.
If there is any substance to the reports now being heard in Hauptmann's defense the court of pardons appears ready to hear it. with comment on the statement by Mr. Fish that Senator Borah would be strong in the East as well as In the West. That paper quotes Mr. Fish as stating that he would "in-sUfc that the party shall not compromise with the socialism of the New Deal or go back to any alleged old order of 6pecial privilege." The Journal continues: ''Mr, Fish went sc far as to announce regarding himself that if the Idaho senator enters the Republican primaries he will support him, but If Mr.
Borah does not do so he Mr. Fish will make the contest himself. This leaves us about where we started. We don't know whether Mr. Borah is going to be a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, and we are just as much in the dark about Mr, Fish, because the latter' candidacy appears to depend on Mr.
Borah's non-candidacy. However, we'll try to moderate our anxiety." "All sorts of things can happen in the world of politics," remarks the KALAMAZOO GAZETTE, and that paper says of a tribute paid to the senator by the New York representative: "Describing the Idaho solon as 'a very able man who has. great popular support in both the West and the he declares that Mr. Borah would get, a greater vote in the eastern states than any other Republican and 'would come nearer carrying' New York city than anyone who could be nominated on the Republican ticket, as he has great strength among important element that make up that population and he would develop a tremendous support among Jeffersonian Here, indeed, is a pre-convention boost if there ever was one. The odd thing about it.
however, is that it runs so directly counter to the theories which mast political speculators have advanced on the subject the Borah presidential candidacy," "Mr. Fish's statement," in the opinion of the PEORIA rill.)

Wanamassa. semblyman Theron MeCampbell. ot Holmdel. and Thomas Ryan, of Cliff-wood. They saw their political "alma mater'' go down in decisive defeat because there was no constructive leadership.
The serious aspect of the primary and general election was that the rank and file of the citizens did not believe that Mr. MeCampbell was defeated for the Democratic nomination for state senator, but was counted out. His many followers voted the Republican ticket as a protest. A damaging factor to the Democratic party as to vote getting was the large sign painted on the Perrine building, facing the main thorofare into Freehold, advertising the Democratic candidates and in the lower right corner was the following: "Paid for by John Giordano and Louis Lipsiz." This phrase drove countless good Democrats and independent citizens into the Republican ranks and they were received and treated with utmost courtesy. They were not scorned with, "We don't need you." Every political leader should learn that Monmouth county is wholly different from Hudson and other northern counties.
The general attitude of the citizens of Monmouth county is to think for themselves and not to subscribe to mass sufferage. The test of the duration of the Republican party in power in the county depends upon the type and character of individuals they appoint, to office and how honestly and industriously the incumbents serve the interests of the people. In this connection, the observation is timely; It, is an imposition upon the taxpayers to have connected with any of the county departments persons who can't, speak and write English, intelligently.

and many another all artists who perfoimed work on public buildings of vhe Unld States suggest how strong was the foreign representation. Some came here and executed commissions, returning to Europe; others remained in I he new country but all were imbued with the European tradition, The new work, now being executed, is more purely American in Inspiration. In some cases, the artists are the descendants of European immigrants: In others they are of nathc stock for many generations. The outstanding fart is that they arc emphasizing the Amen, can idea in this fresh work. A brirf description of some of the typical work will serve to convey the idea.
In the new postoflire building at Washington is a scries of statues depleting various a.spect.s of the United States mail service. The old, elisiie school of sculpture would unquestionably have emphasized the motif of the winged Mercury of Rome or the Hermes of Greece to represent the Idea of the postal service. Not, so in these works. There Is a statue of an expressman, dressed in overalls, wearing a rap and holding an express sack. It is a lifelike representation of the exprew-man one sees every day.
The statues are intended to present a sort of historical pageant. There is a Mate if a stage driver of the period from 3730, when the government began, to about 1836. Clad in a long coat reaching nearly to the ground, he holds his whip In one hand and a large wallet in the other. Graphic History of American Way Unusually interesting Is the figure of an Alaskan mail carrier. Dressed in ths typical winter garments of Ids region, he leans upon his snowshoes.
A railway mail clerk is shown with mail bags, one thrown over his shoulder, one under an arm. Harking back again, there is seen a foot postman of times, such a postman as doubtless worked under the direction of Benjamin Franklin. He is dressed in the three-cornered hat of the period, long coat and boots. An unusual amount of atmosphere Is furnished in the figure depicting the idea of rural free delivery. Here there is a change of theme.
Instead of showing the rural mail carrier, there is carved the figure ot the farmer, standing by his roadside mail box while, with hand shading his eves, he gazes up the mad watching for the coming of the mail. In addition to the sculptures for the postoffice, there are mural paintings. There are panels devoted to the pony express, to sailing ship mall from overseas, and then very modern interiors, depicting men at work 'n the sorting and other rooms of the postolfice. Equally remarkable and rqually modern are the murals designed for the new department of justice building. Your classical painter would have taken some medieval dungeon or oubliette to represent the idea of durance.
In this ca.e Henry Varnum Poor has painted modern penitentiary scenes. There is a lifelike picture of a handcuffed prisoner, his head bent and shoulders sagging, passing behind the bats. His bark only Is seen but it is wholly expressive. For the pardon bureau of 'the department is an especially moving mural. It shows the release of a prisoner from the bars.
In this case, he faces the oeholder, for he is emerging from prison and being met by a woman who embraces him. In the department of labor building, there are hundreds of paintings, most distinctly modern in style and nearly all devoted to labor scenes from the cotton pickers of the south to coal miners and factory workvrs. Most of these are the work of artists employed on public orks of arr projects. They are finished products. The tale Is a long one.
These works referred to here are but a very few of the works of art now being produced or planned for federal public works. Moreover, the same type of modern work is being carried out in federal buildings in other cities. There has unquestionably been a renaissance of public works art and. Just as such public men as Lorenzo the magnificent were in their time patrons of the arts, so now the federal government ha adopted that roie. After the primaries, the intelligence of the active Republican workers devel- oped a sentiment for Joseph McDer-j mott as county chairman and his seler-i tion followed.
THE NEW OPERA Friends of the opera will watch the modernization experiment at the Metropolitan with keen interest. Many of the old traditions, so rigidly adhered to by the retired manager, Gatti Casazza, have been scrapped In an effort to Americanize the cpera and dress it in a new costume. Edward Johnson, the new impresario, has tried to eliminate much of the stuffiness characteristic of the conventional and Instil into the opera a new spirit pitched to the taste of a modern audience. And so, with a predominance of American singers, including Richard Crooks, whose efforts have been widely applauded, a new ballet, new designs, and a generally progressive tone, the Metropolitan opened Monday night amid all of its traditional splendor. Only one concession was made to its ancient heritage.
"La Traviata," Verdi's standard work, was offered. It might have been even more appropriate to open the season with one of Deems Taylor's American operas, but apparently the new manager has seen the wisdom of moving cautiously, trying to modernize the opera without too quickly altering Its tone lest the old standbys upon whom it counts for support be shocked. Still the innovations that Mr. Johnson introduced were enthusiastically received; his first effort was by all means a success, encouraging the hope that while preserving the more acceptable of its traditions he may revive the opera along lines that cater to the American taste.

Senator Borah is quoted by the SAN JOSE (Cal MERCURY HERALD as stating that "it is his purpose to see that the party is led by a liberal," and the California paper adds that "all good Republicans are in accord with this," with the further comment: "'Liberal' in political affairs is not an abstraction but a definite position on Issues presented. Borah mentions just one restoration of competition by enforcement of the anti-trust act.
This is beyond question a liberal policy, for industry would stagnate if competition was throttled. An overwhelming majority of Republicans would agree it was, and favor putting it In the platform." "Could Borah win?" asks the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL, and then it adds: "That is anybody's guess. But if he couldn't, the party at least would have put on a face of moderate progressivism.
