NoRWicH's EXCESS SALOONS
NUMBER THIRTY-EIGHT
Can Be Put Out of Business if Con-
Vcted of Violation of Law.

The wholesale liquor dealers and
the brewing companies are reported to
be busy preparing to operate under the
new liquor law which goes into effect
this fall, and which is very much in
the nature of self -executioner to the
man who violates the law after it is
operative.
AS is already, shown, the new law
provides that so long as the ratio of
saloons in town is over one to every
800 inhabitants, just SO long shall IL
censes whose owners break the law be
eliminated by the act of violation.
The law is rightly considered one of
the most important ever passed in the
state. The great pajority of liquor
dealers are strongly in favor of it, for
they see in it material improvement
in their business in more ways than
one.
In the first place, it secures them
against sudden competition from the
brewers, for no new license can be
issued until the ratio is down to the
figure stated.
1t is quite apparent that if the off
Gals enforce the law it will work
havoc with the licenses, which would
mean not only the loss of the value of
the license, but the forfeiture of a
bond of 5000 besides. One violation
would do the trick and might mean
the loss of $500 right off, to say moth
ing of the thousands invested in the
saloon.
Here are some of the excess saloons
as shown by the county commission
ers' reports. and every one of these
may be put out of business if the
local authorities can convict them of
violation of the law. New Haven has

MUCH WORK FOR CONGRESS.

MHEN Congress meets next week and hears
w the Presidents Message it will find plenty
of suggested legislation to hold its attention.
Mr. Taft during his trip discussed many matters
most of which will be in his message to the leg1s-
lators. What they will do with the recommends
tions is question Perhaps Taft will not
attempt to influence Congress to force them
through He may go back to the old idea before
the Roosevelt days. that it is not the duty OF the
President to lash Congress or attempt to lash It
into obeying the will of the chief magistrate
OF the topics discussed by the President those
regarded as the more important are the Central
Rank plan of Mr. Aldrich; the amendment OF the
antitrust law by narrowing ITS purposes ana
con6ning il TO combinations and conspiracies to
suppress competition and establish monopohes
the postal savings bank amendment OF the
Interstate Commerce act by creating court 70
hear appeals, fix rates and do other things that
the railroad men do not want done MODIFICATION
of the use of the injunction in labor disputes and
the ship subsidy bill
On all these questions there is a wide division
OF opinion, not alone a partisan basis. 1t IS
safe to saw that nothing positive will be done as
regards the bank bill Most Democrats are oppos-
ed to II and most OF the Republicans are of an open
mind poll OF the members of Congress shows
that the postal savings bank plan IS not so popular
as it was. The sentiment among the members
is said to be largely in favor of amending the
Interstate Commerce law and the trust law and
in favor of modifying the injunction practice
The ship subsidy bill has hosts of friends,
