State Won't Help In Warrenite Cost
 of North Main St.

;
 At least s6,oOo more than was ex- peeted must be spent on the warrenite on North Main street by the city of Bridgeport. When it was first pro- posed to pave North Main street the officials Of the administration planned to have the state pave one4half Of the street from North Main street to the TTumbuH line and have the state pro- vide for the cost of the other half as state road construction.
 This year, however the legislature allowed no money for state road work and there is but s6,o0O available from the old appropriation, hence the city must make up the deficit. Work is progressing rapidly in North Main street.
 The Connecticut Co.will lay amies1te between it's tracks in North Main street and a pavement consisting of crushed stones and cement between the tracks from the Fairfield avenue viaduct to Ash Creek bridge.

The States ndoubtedly have the authority to regulate to a certain ex- tent mercantile practices including the sale of liquor But the states have no power to suppress com pletely any law fuI business or render property value less due process of law The right Of trial ;by jury cannot be abolished and a people remain free, under the Bill of Rights Trial and just compensation alone can justify the destruction of any lawful trade or manufacture. One state cannot assume control, of inter state commerce and build trade bar 1iers against the lawful products of other5 states Free trade is the basis of the Uni
 The rights assured by the Bill Of Rights, have descended from the Col oniaI rule under the British common which prevails today and prevents amy reduction of the Iiquor manufae- ture or trade without just compen- sation,'' the words of the Bill of Rights.
 So every citizen of the United States has an inherent right to manufacture and sell liquor. The inherent right ex- isted under the laws of the Colonies and was not in the least changed by the adoption of the Federal and State constitutions. Indeed the right was as- slred in the Bill of Rights, with this dec1araGon: No person shall be de- prfyed of life. liberty or property without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without Just comp pensation.'
 The so-called police power can never be erected into a just rule of law superior to the Bill of Rights, however some courts and legislatures may have attempted such action. The very attempt is a step toward despot- ism and a reversal Of the prime doc trfnes of liberty and law
 The referendum, involving destruc- ion of property by majority, cnnot exist side by side with the fundament- als of the Bill of Rights; an effort to exalt the destructive referendum is an attack on our system of govern ment.

 Destroyed By Trust

Frankfort. Germany, July 16-The enguIfment of smaller banking houses in the great banking consultations of Germany, for several years the domi- nant feature of the German high finance. has just claimed as a sacrifice the private banking firm of Coll & Sons, one Of the oldest In South Ger many. The firm, which was founded in 1864, and looks back upon an un- broken history of 250 years. has been absorbed by the Mitteldeutsche Credit Bank of Berlin and will hereafter be conducted as a branch of that big Ber- lin joint-stock bank.

Giant Flyers Fail
 To Impress British
 Government Officials

London, July 7e=Athougf ff has fbeen announced in the House of Com mons that the British government has giant aeroplanes under construction this type of aircraft does not com mand the entire confidence of ex- perts.
 The idea of the giant flying machine came from Russia. where the Russian censtructor. Sikorsky. had even be- fore the war built a four-engine car, with two engines, each driving a. pro- pe1lor, to each side. This car develop that one car flew for six hours with 16 passengers Sikorslzy is also cred 1ted with having taken two dozen at once on a short flight. modified type of 260 horsepower is now used for war purposes by the Russians.
 One serious drawback to the giant aeroplane pointed out by c. c. Grey aeronauticaI subjects, is the difficulty in finding a field large enough for starting and landing. A machine of such a size needs 3, long start But even more important is the objection of putting too many eggs in one bas- ket. A giant plane carries an enor- Hlous amount of explosive, which is Of small machines. Oa the Ostend raid. nearly 40 machines took part with the loss of only three. More than score were sent4by the French against Karisruhe. of which but two were brought down
 Where the giant plane promises to be most useful is in defensive opera lions. With several machine guns and q larger gun of the pom-poln class. it can patrol it's own lines for hourse at a stretch. repelIing the enemy scout planes Its separate engines add to its value as it's rudder is powerful enough to direct its course even when only one engine is working
