document. One house Of not more

would be elected OF a basis OF pro-
portiona1 representation and chosen
by popular vote for a term Of four
years. One half Of the number

the creation of ten executive de-
partments as follows: Finance, ag-
riculture. public works. labor, mines
and minerals, public health. public
welfare, trade and commerce, edit
cation and law enforcement. The
heads of these departments would
be appointed by the governor, with
the approval of the legislature. and
would receive saladies to be de-
termined by the legislature.
judicial changes provide Tor a
Judicial council consisting OF Two
Judges from the county courts, two
from the district courts, two from
the civil courts Of appeal. two from
,othe criminal courts Of appeals, and
(To from the supreme court. IL is
also provided that verdicts OF jur-
les shall require q concurrence OF
at least nine members out OF the
twelve composing the jury instead
of twelve, and that appellate courts
shall be permitted to hear addi-
tional evidence in cases appealed.
All forms of tobacco. perfumes
and cosmetics. chewing gum, NOV
ing pictures. theater tickets. ath-
letic games. gasoline and soft
drinks would be taxed under the
proposed constitution. and there
would also be a tax on personal IN
come. All constitutional limita-
lions on the legislature as to the
amount of taxes that might be lev
led would be removed.

TIE HOSPITAL TRAGEDY

Explosions which caused the dire tragedy at the Cleveland Clinic hos pital occurred in tho N.ray labora- tories, and they were followed by fire and deadly fumes from burn inr chemicals. which were describ- ed as ''poisonous gases" It is easy to imagine the natural trend of fire where chemicals are stored. The point about the Cleveland tragedy, one which will interest municipalities throughout the country. revolves around the safeguards that are made to store the necessary chemicals and medicine in parts of the buildings away from mechanical equipment which even remotely possesses pos abilities of providing the spark for . general conflasration.
 Hospital laboratories have devel- oped to large dimensions within the last decade or last generation. No modern hospital is complete without such equipment, usually provided upon quite m extensive scale. This is the firat instance where large scale tragsdy was directly caused by hav- ing such laboratory within . hos pital. Certain dangers have been dsAnitsly smphasixed through this occurrence, and 1t is to be expected that . general effort will be made to make similar tragedies less likely ia the future by inquiring into the nscaaAity of placing laboratories in separate buildings. or at least separating them from the hospital proper through tho instrumentality of thick, freproot walls and doors. The outlook is for new rules and iaws locking to greater safety with in the confines of such institutions, such n followed the Iroquois theater fire disaster in Chicago, which re- suited in the general use of asbestos curtains in theaters throughout the land.

EVENTUALLY

The mayor explains he has caused little to be done in connection with providing an improved sewage dis pesal system until it is more defi- nitely determined what Hartford is to do about it. There can be no doubt about what the capital city eventu- ally will do. The sum of 3:5,0o0 has been appropriated for an engineering survey and such . survey has been authorized. The report is due by next Fall. Then the mayor, and New Brit ain in general, will be better in- formed as to the details of . work able plan.
 By waiting until Hartford acts" New Britain simply allows the capi- tai city to catch up to New Britain in the cleaning up of a very undesira ble condition. It was because New Brit ain, several years ago. had shown a disposition not to wait until Hartford or any other city took action that the Hardware City was referred to by the Sate Water Commission as showing characteristic energy" Now We have lost that energy be- cause we cficially wish to note what Hartford does; in other words, in- stead of leading Hartford we are willing to follow.
 lis is not saying that waiting un- til Hartford decides upon a plan of action is unwise. The mayor indi- cates we cannot afford to do the ex- perrin enting. and in the case of sew age disposal there seems 10 be a difference of opion as to what is the best method. It therefore is also . subject for difference Of opinion whether it is not wise to let the capi- tai city show its hand just what type of disposal it prefers. This at least would be a guide for New Britain. That if one feature about awaiting Hartford's action that has it's good points.

manner of strong drink | to hs barred except beer and wine" Pulsue. the popular cheap drink throughout Mexico, h not mentioned. leaving it in doubt whether this wave of remote-control prohibition. which is to take from five to ten years" to become effective. is to be an onslaught upon the Mexican drinkers who cannot afford such high priced connections as beer and wine.
 There can be no doubt in the mind of any sensible man that temperance exaIteth a nation. The unlimited and unrestrained personal disposal of all manner of strong drink. with the attendant evils of commercial ex- ploitation, is a curse. President Gil has set for himself and his country q sane method to circumvent and control this appetite, endeavoring to discover a method to keep it within bounds and under complete control. This he would not attempt through sponsoring a prohibition amendment to the Mexican constitution, he doubtless considering the basic law of the land no place for sumptuary legislation of this character: but he is en route along . most interesting route of social experimentation when he seeks to bring about the elimina- ton of certain strong Mexican com pounds but leading the people to prefer lighter compounds instead. Perhaps neither he nor his aides in the government anticipate anything like 100 per cent of succesa
 If successful-in five to ten years Mexico would co.st.nue to be as wet" as France or Germany. where wine and beer continue to be the favorite liquors. But there are those in position to judge from repeated trips abroad who vouch for the statement that temperance in those lands remains considerably more in evidence than in the United States under constitutionalized prohibition.
