The Press, Wet and Dry

The prohibition survey of the Newspaper Enterprise Association may not prove any thing, and professes not to be trying to prove anything, but the figures submitted are surely an interesting contribution to the eternal liquor debate. The questions were submitted to l,5OO newspapers throughout the country. pretty nearly covering the daily field An swers were received from 859. The editors were asked for the editorial policy of their papers on prohibition; were they for against the dry amendment and the Volstead Act or neutral?
 The present prohibition set-up was ap- proved by 389 of these papers. The dry amendment was opposed by 345 papers. Mod ifcaton of the Volstead Act was favored by 36 papers The others were neutral With the figures reduced to percentages. 45 per cent of the papers expressing opinions rated as dry, 40 per cent for repeal and four and half per cent for modification. It seems fair to interpret these figures as meaning that the papers are about half wet and half dry.
 Circulation tells different story. It hap pens that while the papers uphodng prohibi ton as it stands now have daily circulation of 3.832,O4l, the papers demanding repeal have a circulation of l2,52O,9ll and the modlflcatlonStS Zoo,oo If we assume that the newspapers fairly represent their readers, then on these figures we must assume that the reading public is opposed to the present liquor policy by more than three to one.
 The contrasting results of the two sets of figures easily explained, The wet major ties are provided by the big papers in big com munities, The small communities are more likely to be dry, The liquor controversy IS. broadly speaking between city and country. between industry and agriculture.

Highway Sidewalks

Once again Senator Joseph Lawl.r of this city has introduced measure in the general assembly calling for the establishment of side walks along our state highways We sincere ly trust that the bill will receive more than scant attention at this session. There is every reason in the world to suppose such pro- posal Human lives sacrificed annually simply because people will walk on the roads when there are no sidewalks or paths provided for them. We don't know when the high way sidewalk was first proposed, but we do think that residents of Connecticut became aware of their necessity shortly after the Mil, ford Turnpike became speedway and the worst death trap in the state for pedestrians.
 Senator Lawlor has been championing the cause of highway sidewalks for some years now. At first they were straightway opposed by the highway and motor vehicle depart ments. but We believe that these departments are gradually coming to the point where they would welcome such an innovation. Two years ago it looked for time as if the legs- ature might favor them. but they were finally voted down. We still believe the state should provide for pedestrians along the highways. whether it be by regular sidewalk or spe- cally constructed paths that would lie out side the guard rails.
 We grant that highways built pri- marily for vehicular traffic. But men and women were walking long before this mode of travel was ever visioned We can't ignore the rights of the pedestrian no matter how much mud and water we spatter him. And we think that the Connecticut legislature should be progressive enough to recognize that roads which commonly used by peo- pie walking to and from their homes places of employment should be provided with side walks where they may travel without fear of being struck by speeding automobiles

Power Control

good many honest citizens believe tha. talk about the power trust is all poppy cock, and senators And representatives at Wash ington who want the government to conserve waterpower and hang onto powersites are mischief makers and blatherskites. That you may think about electric power depends on the point of view. Some men in public life doubtless go too far in conserving potential power and fighting the efforts of private con- eerns to utilize it. Some power interests go too far in the opposite direction. And some statesmen are strangely indifferent to an un precedented situation.
 The country needs more and more power. Super power is developing with amazing speed The National Electric Light Associa- ton reports that last year the power companies got 55O.000 new customers that many more families dependent on them for light. cooking, cleaning, heating, etc. Also that l00,OO more farms were electrified last year. The increased use of electricity in city homes was "A per cent and on farms 8 per cent.
 These arc the biggest gains on record. More current is being used industrially, too, right along, The power curve swings sharp y upward So vital is this service that public interests must be safeguarded. There has to be some kind of public control of such utilities.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-21
The Swedish Plan

The Swedish plan of liquor traffic control as proposed by Henry Anderson, the Wicker sham commission member from Virginia, probably recommended itself to this gentleman and several other confreres because 1t limits the liquor ration that any individual might obtain and also prevents alcoholics and those addicted to heavy drinking from obtaining a supply. Other than that it removes all op- portunity of immense profits by private inter- ests. The system is better known the Bratt plan, for 1t was suggested by Dr Ivan Bratt and when the Swedish government adopted it inlol4, 1t remained the Bratt system.
 Sweden in 1865 had adopted modified form of prohibition known as the Gothenburg plan. This abolished the saloon and set certain hours during which liquor might be sold. In 1909 all drinking places were closed as an emergency measure through out general strike which lasted six weeks, Permanent prohibition was then proposed but Dr Bratt suggested his plan and it was shortly afterward adopted, It has proved generally successful in Sweden. There is little or no bootlegging and there are probably more moderate drinkers in the country than in any other. Whatever liquor is obtanabe is good in quality and the price is reasonable Sounds almost idylc. doesn't it?
 The Bratt plan is explained something like ,his: All wines and spirits containing more than 36 per cent alcohol. are sold through tks Wine and Spirits Central which is liquor monopoly, government controlled. It has I20 retail branches throughout the naton supplying individuals, also hotels and res taurarsts One individual in family, pro- vided he or she is 25 years of age, IS entitled to a 'motbook' which is nothing more nor less than a guarantee of character.

FREMONTS BIRTH.

On Jan 21, 1913, John Fremont, "the pathfinder" distinguished ex- plorer of the Rocky Mountains, wa- born at Savannah, Ga.
 Following his education at Char leston College, S. C., he taught mathematics on warship for two years. A few years later he served as a typographical engineer to the French exploler, Jean Nicollet. His experiences with N!collet furnished him invaluable training for use Tn his later career and gave him a de- sire for further western adventure
 In 1842 Fremont crossed tho Rocky Mountains and demonstrated the feasibility of an overland route across the continent. A year later he explored Great Salt Lake and ir 1845 he examined the watershed between the Mississippi and the Pac- cific.
 During the Mexican War Ere mont cleared Northern California of Mexican troops, but, quarreling with his superior officers, resigned his captaincy. In 1S49, after an expedition up the Rio Grande. Ere where he settled.
 The following year he became United States senator from the new state. In 1856 he was the republi- can and anti-slavery candidate for the presidency. In 1861-2 he served in the regular army as major gen. eral, but resigned rather than serve under General Pope. He. later be- came governor of Arizona.

Capital Sales Tax

There is fresh criticism lately of the capl- tai sales tax which economists and govern ment officials have condemned for years. It is held illogical and unfair to tax automatic gains on invested capital by an income tax, instead of merely taxing the income subse quently produced by the capital increases. A stronger objection. perhaps, is the practical harm this tax works on the general business situation.
 A bank economist points out that one of the main reasons why stocks became so in- Hated during the recent boom was that in- vestors held them far longer than they wanted to, through fear of the heavy income surtaxes they would have had to pay if they sold and realized their profits all at once. This hold ing of stocks out of the market naturally ran up prices.
 Lately it has been working the other way. thereby doing no less harm. With the bottom dropped out of the securities market, with an other income tax report looming ahead, thou sands of investors have sold their holdings at the runously low prices prevailing. so they could record the loss for tax exemption pur- poses. thus reducing their taxes on l930 in- come This action has doubtless retarded the natural revival of the stock market and of gen. eral business.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-21
Two Cents A Mile

The Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul Rail- road is going to start passenger service at cents mile experimentaly, on several divis ions in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. The usual fare is 3.6 cents a mile. The traffic de- partment wants to find out whether it can meet motor competition in this way. The new rate was standard many years ago. It seems little like getting back to first princl- ples as regards economical transportation.
 Automobile owners can't travel for 2 cents mile in their own cars though some of them, who don't reckon depreciation and other factors, seem to imagine they can. It is doubtful whether the average long distance bus can meet the rate. The railroads may make profit at cents if they have enough patronage just as the Cleveland Electric Rail- way is now making profit on Scent fare in downtown traffic zone. If the trial sue ceeds there may be a general downward re- vision of rail rates.

This "motbook" is presented every time liquor is purchased and slip on which the owners name is written detached A mot book" owner is entitled to four litres of spirits month
 There are no private manufacturers of wine or liquors in Sweden. All shareholders are given per cent return on any money in- vested in wnehouses or distilleres that the Wines and Spirits Central controls. Anything over per cent goes to the government. he scheme is practicable in Sweden. It might prove as much of failure in the United States as has prohibition. For we still see no sign of success in our total prohibition. How ever the suggestion that we consider modl- fled Swedish plan is significant. It means that there are men among us who think some other way of securing true temperance than by prohibition is inevitable. Why the Wicker sham commission didn't say that instead of beating round the bush is more than we can understand.
