Politics And Personalities

The almost frantic determination of every body, including most members of congress itself, to spare the country an extra session becomes more apparent every day. Here we have body of men. the chosen representa- tives of the people, elected at great expense and with much ado, for the express purpose of relieving our ills and guiding us to better days. Yet, the prospect of suffering their services for month two more than is absolutely necessary sends business men, jour- nalists, and politicians into a near panic Of course, there is an explanation. Congress favorlte pastime of making laws the enforce ment of which requires hundreds of subse- quent laws is one. Prohibition for example, will probably demand legislative attention until doomsday.
 Last year. we saw our legislators, after eighteen months of effort, enact a tariff bill that caused our export trade to fall off by more than billion dollars in one year. Fur thermore the bill leaks so that it is doubtful anyone can patch 1t up successfully. For in- stance, higher sugar tariff was written into law after battle royal between opposing inter- ests had dragged on for nine months. Now, importers have discovered that they can bring their sugar in in liquid solution. paying the fraction of duty levied upon syrup instead. Yet. Representative Hawley, of Oregan and Senator Shoot of Utah, coauthors of the bill, and congressman from the sugar states are amazed that anyone should have thought of bringing sugar in as molasses. Importers of allegedly obscene books have also found way to operate Instead of bringing in their books intact and having them seized by customs officials, they arrange for parts of the books to be mailed separately to them and they reassemble the whole on this side There are lots of people in this country smarter than congressman!
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-02-19

Quite A Demonstration

If psalms carry any weight then we had better let the present state enforcement act remain on the statute books. As far as we can ascertain the throng of dry supporters, who swept into the State Capitol at Hartford Tuesday and by rather disorderly demon stration prevented real hearing on the meas ures they oppose. showed nothing more than some ability to heekle speakers and to sing the airs that have long been coupled with prohl- bition, not to mention several newer ones com posed probably just for the occasion. As noise makers we are informed the drys of Connecticut could drown out any convvial New Years Eve group.
 Fortunately for the ajority of us We have legislators to make laws and not psalm singers We can't voueh for the worth of all our legislators nor for their ability to see much farther than the end of their noses some of the time. but they don't conduct their sessions in typical Chautauqua or revival day fashion. And few fanatics find a place in our legislatures, although they do manage to have their mandates imposed upon all of us poor suffering mortals We suppose that the dry demonstration at Hartford Tuesday was to impress the country with the fact that Connecticut isn't as wet as 1t has been painted lately Probably 10 convince Jouett Shouse of the democratic national committee that Connecticut won't be one of the states he claims will be wet at the l932 national con- ventions.
 That may be so. but it remains true that the democratic party in l930 declared itself opposed to prohibition and the republican party tried to do the same thing. but got stuck as 1t was going over the top and as a result landed in straddling position. And should our dry friends read thoroughly that measure proposed by the crusaders they might find out that it isn't as wet as they proclaim it 10 be. It simply restores to the people a few rights that have been taken from them without as much as with your permission" That the sentiment of the nation is turning slowly but surely against prohibition by legis- lation IS evident It reflected in dozen d- verse manners.
 This week the wet forces in the New York general assembly scored their third victory in the present session. They voted to request congress to call a national constitutional con- vention to repeal the 9th amendment. That IS what Governor Cross proposes too. Earlier the New York legislators voted to ask con- gress to submit the 18th amendment to state conventions. The first wet victory was to ask congress to repeal the Volstead law Sim liar action can be expected from other states. And what wholesale disrespect for the law will spring up then. It will surpass anything we now experience. Even ardent drys must realize that compromise is coming. Let's have tenn perance, but not by prohibition.
