NEW Law PROTECTS
NEWSPAPERS FROM
FALSE STATEMENTS

Anyone who knowingly furnishes a
newspaper in the state with untrue
statements and false allegations in
the future will, under the provisions
of House Bill "a, signed Friday BY
Governor Hunt and forwarded to the
office of James H. Kerby, secretary of
state, be guilty Of misdemeanor
punishable by fine or jail sentence,
or both.
The measure introduced in the lower
house by Representative Crenshaw of
Santa Cruz county at the request of
the Arizona Press club, will become a
state law 90 days after the legislature
adjaurns.
1t was designed to protect the pub
lie and newspapers from untrue
statements, allegations and alleged
news items, and was drafted at the
request Of the Arizona Press club
from copy of an Ohio law of a
similar nature.
The bill provides that anyone who
furnishes newspaper with untrue
and false statements, allegations OF
alleged news items, knowing them to
be untrue, shall be deemed guilty of a
misdeneanor, and if convicted, pun
ished by fine of not more than $500
or Imprisonment in the county jail of
not more than three months, or both
fine and Imprisonment.
The bill further provides that the
complaint in the case may be brought
by the publisher of the newspaper or
by the person injured by the publica-
tion of the false and untrue article.
Sensing the need for such law,
the Arizona Press club at meeting
held several months ago adopted a
resolution to draft such law and pre-
sent it to the legislature at it's next
session. The bill was prepared under
the direction of Con P. Cronin, state
librarian, and was presented to Rep
resentative Crenshaw for introduction
into the lower house.

closures the government had said. "This Is pretty bad state of things, but we will not do anything about 1t except to educate the public to better food products and appeal to the manufacturers to make purer foods" How long would 1t have taken for that education and that appeal to have lad any effect2 Severe action was taken. with much opposition. but 1t gave the cause of pure foods a tremendous boost for which we all have reason to be thankful.
 So while we may not approve in general the idea of censorship of films. at least it would stem the tide of rotten pictures which are being turned out in larger numbers every year, until we can adequately deal with the situation.
 Would that some fine spirited citizen would erect and conduct Q motion picture theatre in New Britain where programs. of adven- ture pictures, of entertainment dramas both serious and light, of historical films, and of wholesome comedies could be shown. There arc many such films available today. Such a theatre would, in the opin- ion of the writer, be well supported by large part of the public. and would prove profitable investment.

no NOT CONSTRUCT THAT SPUR TRACK

The rumored plan of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road to transform the plot of ground in front of the station on Church street into a siding for freight cars would, if carried out, create more righteous indignation in the city than anything contemplated by the rail- road in years.
 i've hope the rumor is false: but if 1t actually is true that such a dosecratlon of the driveway to the station and plot of ground is con- templated, not to mention the nui- sance that would be created, the railroad management deserves and will get unstinted condemnation by the public and the city government.
 It would not be worth while. In the long run the railroad would lose in that intangible but valuable good will that 1t has been endeavoring to stmuat6 the past few years,
 Nothing would be more of slap in the puhiic's face; nothing would be more in the nature of waving a red flag in front of an enraged bull.
 If such thing were done re- taliation would be swift and sure.

DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN MISDEEDS

Last winter when scandal disclosures implicated Republi- can statesmen. the Democratic newspapers fiouted the idea that "crlme is individual" and "guilt is personal"
 But since that time the coils of scandal fasten about a num- Der of highly placed Demo- crats. Two state governors -- Walton, Oklahoma. and Davis, Kansas are accused of sell ing pardons and paroles, and q Democratic Senator, Edwards. New Jersey is accused of "cut- ting in" on bootleg graft. So the Democratic editors have come to the conclusion that there's something, after all, in this idea that political party is not 10 be held responsible for the shortcomings and mis- conduct of individuals.
 It's no time for the pot 10 call attention to the smudge that blackens the kettle. It's time, rather, for all good citi- zens, regardless of party affllia- ton, to unite in demand that all knaves if, and when proved such - he turned out. -Capper's Weekly.

SENATE COMMITTEE AND THE WORLD COURT A

The House foreign relations com- mittee has pronounced in favor of American adherence to the World Court, while the Senate foreign re- lations cominittee-which shares in the responsibility of conducting the nations foreign relations-remains unmoyed by the demands of the ad- ministration and the people.
 The House committee merely gave "an expression of opinion.' The Senate committee, headed by MT. Dorah, through it's inaction also gives an cXpre ssion of opinion. But the two opinions do not concur.
 It is now just two years since President Harding submitted the first World Court proposal. Since that time President Coolidge has twice stated in his messages that we should adhere to this court, Twenty eight Republican senators recently filed a request with Senator Borah that action be taken by his commit tee. But there is no action.
 Senator Borah talks about good will among nations," Justice be- tween nations" and other plautudes to which t is easy to subscribe, But when such d specific thing as the World Court is preached he is as silent as the clam. He leads Obscrv- CTS to believe that he is in favor of something of the kind, but not the present World Court. He has enun- ciated no better plan. Some believe his opposition is based entirely upon dislike for the League of Nations, piUydallying like this leads to lack of confidence in the Senate. While the nation expects business i like administration of public affairs, ! the senators meet and play politics, and feel vastly important while in- dulging in this capitol indoor sport,
 One warns" he will do this; the other "clamors" for that; another insists" upon something else; a
 fourth threatens general verbal
 melee unless his pet political
 scheme is advanced; and so on
 Meanwhile time passes and there i:
 nothing constructive to show for all
 these wcighty torcnsics.

Observations On The Weather

Washington, Feb. 4.-Torecast for Southern New England: Mostly cloudy tonight and Thursday. Warmer Thursday and in western Massachusetts tonight, fresh to strong northeast and north winds, diminishing tonight and becoming variable Thursday.
 Forecast for eastern New York: Mostly cloudy tonight and Thurs day; probably local snows Thursday in northwest portion; rising tem- perature Thursday, in the interior; moderate to shifting winds.
 Conditions: A long trough of low pressure along the Atlantic coast is causing cloudy and unsettled weather in eastern districts. An- other trough of low pressure ex- tends from Colorado northeastward to Minnesota. Many places in the Lake region and New England re- ported fiurries of snow during the last 24 hours but only two of them reported a tenth of an inch. The temperature is rising between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi river but continues low in the cen- tral and eastern districts.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity unsettled with slowly rising tenn peYature, probably followed by light snow or rain.

STATES REJECTION OF 20TH AMENDMENT

The rcsounding manner in which the Connecticut senate rejected tbe proposed 2oth amendment indicates that federal regulation of children up to Is years of age" is decidedly unpopular. Although most persons are opposed to child labor in prin- ciple, the proposed amendment has been construed as going too far, and of late years there has been tendency 10 avoid centering more bureaucratic power in Washington. Whether all the fears of opponents of the proposed amendment are justified we are not prepared to say; but the practicalities are that such fears exist in the public mind and have their reflection in the action of the Legislature, it being expect ed that the lower house likewise will reject the amendment.
 Throughout the amendment de- bate in the newspapers throughout New England we have been struck by the preponderance of opiniated comment, rather than reliance upon the figures as they are avail able in the census report. Here was time when the census figures re- garding children in industry should have been a valuable factor in ar irving upon an opinion regarding the child labor amendment.

 treat; {" And prepared for a little run. Slowly. this prophet unwound him
 self,e And played Walter Camp" for n
 while By stretching and twisting his
 bones about: An adept was he without any doubt. For twas done in proper style, The little old thing backed up and
 turned round In a niche His Hogship had dug. And facing out from his dingy cave, Without ever stopping to take a
 shave, He slipped out to the entrance rug He poked his nose in the hard
 Grozen snow That obstructed the view he sought, And said to himself. Its awful
 dark! To think of my going out on q lark!" Yes, that's what the ground hog
 thought. Well, he poled and poked till the
 crust gave way Naught but gloom was outside his door, And he gazed in surprise at the dreary sky, Thinking perhaps 1t would clear by and by; And lay down on the entrance floor. He craned his neck for glimpse of the sun. All at once the old chuck looked sad, w As he remembered his queer, queer dream, How the. moon siashed the sun till

DEAN ROSCOE POUND AND HIS IDEALS

Dean Roscoe Pound of the liar ward Law school has decided to re- main where he is, rather than ac- cept the offer to become president of the University of Wisconsin. A previ- ous report stated that the dean had accepted the qffer, but this ap- parcntly had been premature.
 The reasons given by MT Pound are based upon an idcalistic conccp- ton of his Hfework. Some may think he is foolish to turn down " a position as head of great uni yersity, especially when he was of- fered considerably more money 10 use the term that speaks ioudest to most people.
 Bdt the dean, a product of west ern co-educational state university, and in sympathy with western me thods of education-as he says nevertheless adopted 3 career of legal research and legal education and endeavored by teaching and writing to promote the mose effective administration of justice.
