"TAXING THE FILMS' WITH MORE VIGOR

One Is at loss to understand why the honorable Legislature is so bent upon taxing the films" The former law--or the present one being a notable failure, the gentle men who sit up nights devising ways and means of exacting taxes in order to pay for the pay as you go' policy. have devised a more stringent instead of a modi fled method of soaking the film in- dustry. All they now want is a tax of four per cent on the gross re- ceipts.
 This means that out of every dol lar paid by the moving picture con- sumers. four cents would go to the support of the state. This would create a rather fancy sum of money, enough to pay the salaries of doz- en or more economy commissions,  and perhaps d half hundred con- nlissioners.
 Much indignation formerly was levied against the ''nuisance taxes Of the federal government. These were justified on account of the costs of the war, fact, it will be remembered, that did not placate the public very much. Now we find that the state of Connecticut wants to go into the nuisance taxes busi- ness on a grand scale.
 If this thing continues the state no doubt in due time will get

THE "DRY" OPPOSITION TO GOV. SMITH

Religion having been effectively placed in the background in con- sidering presidential possibilities, the opposition against Governor Smith as candidate now turns to whether a wet" should be elected to the White House.
 The opposition of the "drys" on this point is more serious than the opposition in connection with his religion. It is said that the 'dry south" Is quite willing to act sen- sibly in considering the governors religious principles. but there still is some perturbation about his pro- hibition attitude.
 As a matter of fact, the feeling that Catholic should not be nom- mated has not prevented the con- sideration of a Catholic for the nomination by many of those who opposed Smith in 1924. There was Senator Walsh of Montana, for in- stance.
 Senator Walsh is Catholic but a very "dry" one. When a con- promise candidate was preached in the famous McAdoo-s Smith deadlock Senator Walsh was among the first considered. There is story that he could have obtained the nomination had he or his friends made a stren- uous effort to obtain it; but the up shot was the nomination of Davis The point is, however. that while Walsh was considered there was nc objection against him on the score ] of his religion. Somehow, the anti Smith forces lose much of their force when considering dry candidate, regardless of his religion This opposition to Smith is fun damentally due to prohibition Delegates from the so-called dry sectors undoubtedly will claim, with
 all the unction of delphic oracles that it isn't right and proper that

OUR FIRE PREVENTION
 HONORS

Being included anon. the cities which have made notable records in the prevention of fire is something distinctly worth while. New Britain accepts the honor with due humili- ty, but in no way will Jet it inter fere with a continuation of it's ef- forts to hold fire losses to | mini mum.
 That the city has attained its rating. not by accident or good fortune, but through a desire to keep the city we'll protected against fire, has been evident from the eX- penditures made to increase the fire fighting facilities. Not only have We added another fire station. but we are increasing the facilities for drilling the firemen, and have added additional men and improved the system generally Still another fire station, in the west end. is in prospect for the next year or so. by which time the city will be better able to find the money for the pur- pose.
 In spite of our record and the self-evident improvement made in the fire department, and despite the words of appreciation by the fire insurance underwriters, the New England Exchange of Under writers has been reluctant to re- duce the rates in this city. It ap- parently takes a great deal to bring this about, especially as there is no compulsion about 1t.
