MODERN CRAFTSMANSHIP

How amazed the statesmen of ear Her days would be if they could re- turn in the flesh and observe for a few weeks. the leadership of their successors in the Connecticut General Assembly. There are four Republi- can and four Democratic sheriffs in the State To obtain for political purposes a few inconsequentiai offices in Fairfield county some patriot drafted a bill removing the appoint ments from the sheriffs to the county commissioners. Among those who favored the bill was Judge Banks of Fairfield, who, under the nomencla- ture of Republican politics. is known as house leader" an office that implies some largeness of vision and soundness of view.

STILL FAR FROM THE SOLUTION
New Haven Register,

CNew Haven Register.)
 It must be apparent that, whatever the physical or moral right and wrong of the matter, there still are many persons who confidently hold the opin- ion, not unsupported by the practice, that the drinking of spirituous, malt or intoxicating liquors is so necessary habit that it cannot be omitted on Sunday This opinion being distrib- uted among all sorts of people, and the supply of the drink requiring places for it's dispensation, we have the fla miliar struggle between a law which says liquor shall net be sold on Sun days and those who say by action or word that they want to purchase li- quor on Sunday.
 in thiS struggle we have a few re= cent developments. One is the appar- ent intention of the Legislature at Hartford to pass an act making it lawful for hotels to dispense liquor at certain hours on Sunday. This is op- posed by temperance interests merely because it is Sunday selling It may we'll be opposed by liquor interests be- cause it is sort of class legisla- ton.
 At about the same time appears the against the clubs which sell 1iquor on Sundays. They have been undisturbed for some time on the plea that they were family circles of sort, but now certain prosecutors are dis posed to treat them much like other places which sell liquor Bridgeport has sharply checked their apparent Sunday activities and yesterday the dryness has a marked sympathetic ef- feet on New Haven. It remains to be seen how long this closing of the club bars on Sunday would stand against the inconsistency of permitting hotels to sell on that day.
 From these and other signs it is ob- servable that, though we may be got ting on some with the solution of the Sunday selling problem, we are still a great distance from it. It is matter requiring careful study, as in fact does the larger problem in which this is included.

POSTAL CLERKS APPROVE BILL. New York Branch Convention En- dorseS "Power of Removal"

The New York Branch of the United National Association of Postal Clerks. in convention at Rome, N. r., passed resolutions yesterday endorsing the principles of the merit system, pro- lection of civil employees from un- just removal, and an equitable retire ment fund.

In case of removal the em- ployee has the right to apply to the courts for a review of the case. It also provides that a preferred hse shall be in force four years lnstedu of one year as at present.

PUBLIC SERVICE LEGISLATION IN
 CONNECTICUT.
(SpringfeId Uniono

Again the Connecticut Legislature is called upon to decide what the states policy shall be respecting pub- nc service corporations. Majority and minority reports have been submit ted by the judiciary committee The minority report provides for the crea- ton of public utilities commission with Jurisdiction and powers similar to those possessed by commissions in New YorkN New Jersey, New Hamp- shire and certain other states Such a commission would assume the func- tlons Of the present railroad commis- sion. with additional powers. and would wield authority respecting elec- tric, gas, telephone and water com panles, as we'll as steam and electric railway companies
 The minority bill differs from the other in giving the proposed commits slon authority over all these classes or business and in specifically grant ing to it the power to fix rates The other plan would continue the life of the present railroad commission, create a new commission to have charge of other public utilities. and gfVe each board authority to bring actlon Tn the courts against corpora tions held to be in violation of law.
 The majority report is criticized on the ground that 1t affords no real remedy for the ills arising from ex- isting practises of public service cor porations. It is further charged that the bill contains joker which would have the effect of invalidating exist ing rate and service regulations from charters and general laws now in force. It was persistently reported that Goy. Baldwin had told some of the Judiciary committee that if the bill favored by the minority of that committee, and known as the business mems bill, were passed by the Legis- lature he should veto if on tbo ground that the ratemaking clause was unconstitutional.

These illustrations are sufficient to show that the principle of imposing taxes on those most able to pay them was not considered when the tariff schedule on sugar was adopted The per capita consumption of Sugar in the United States last year. was SIS lbs, so that it is apparent that this excessive tax bears heavily on all ,f our people. To the average family of five persons, this amounts to 4OS pounds of Sugar annually, costing at the average retail price of say Sc per pound. makes the Sugar Bill alone s24.4s. As the price of refined sugar is increased nearly Pc per pound by the tariff. it is evident that the in- creased cost of this single food pro- duct, to the average farmer or worker, due to the tariff, is over SS. per year.

Other Connecticut lawyers of prominence who had been alleged to hold that the bill was unconstitution- al are now taking occasion to enter denials and take a position along with Gov. Baldwin.
