CONNECTICUT JUSTICE

Peace officers and a court in Hartford
county, Connecticut, recently set a record
which deserves high commentator in a
land where ''the laws delay is standing
reproach.
Three young men in that county carried
out their plans to rob bank by hiding in the
building overnight and forcing the cashier to
open the vault for them upon his arrival
next morning. They obtained $4,000 and
escaped in fast automobile.
An alarm was broadcast with the result
that all three of the robbers were caught in
a short time. The unusual part of the story
is that they were tried, convicted, sentenced
and had entered upon their prison terms
within thirty hours after their crime was
committed.
1t is generally conceded by criminolo-
gists that the most effective method of re-
ducing crime is to make it's punishment swift
and sure. Unfortunately, our American
system of criminal procedure with it's maze
of technicalities and opportunities for delay,
makes prompt punishment extremely diff
cult if not impossible
The Connecticut authorities have set
fine example for the rest of the country, and
if such procedure could be adopted generally
our crime problem would speedily lose its
menacing aspect.

ANOTHER AMERICAN TRAGEDY"
American Republic

The society of American literary super-excelents
received quite blow in New York the other evening
when Sinclair Lewis, pride of snobbiata roundly
slapped by Theodore Dresser, the apostle of Amer-
can defeatism. So serious and unexpected was the
blow that the cheeks of the intelligentsia all
the country must have tinged when it delivered
The two warriors of the new thought were din
ing with select group of of letters in the Me-
tropolitan Club when the blow fell Mr. Lewis stated
that he felt dsnclned to speak in the presence of
man who had stolen 5000 words from his Gewis)
wifes book Russia. There a moment of
strained silence, and then Mr. Dresser with open
palm, struck out nightly and slapped Mr.. Lewis
the cheek.
Not in a long time has so Babbitt-like an episode
happened within the confines of the Metropolitan
Club. To the unbiased it would seem that Lewis
showed great provncialsm in accusing his literary
compatrot in stealing anything Russian. 1t is pos
sible that he doesn't know that in things Russian
there property rights and that in the father
land one takes what wants providing is big
enough to get away with it, which few are unless
they belong to the inner circle.
Mr.. Dresser explains by stating that he did not
crib from Mrs. Sinclair's monumental work on Rus
STA but that he got his material from the same
source which was no doubt release of the soviet
publicity bureau, the only difference being perhaps
that Mrs Sinclair it first.
Anyhow it might have been another American
tragedy. Suppose that Mr.. Dresser had struck Mr.
Sinclair hard enough to extingush his literary light
and then had had his extnguished by due pro-
cess of law. America might then have been plunged
into literary barbarsm We hope the boys will be
more careful in the future, and doubt they will

CUTTING LOCAL TAXES


Out on the farms OF Minnesota there is getting
under way movement designed to bring tax re-
duction by the only sound means by which such re-
duction can ever be achieved economy in public
expenditures. From many sections of the State
reports about action taken in the recent town
meetings, reducing the leves for town purposes.
Lyon county townships voted reductions
aging thirty-ive per cent compared with last year.
All but four of the twenty town meetings decided on
economy measures. The same story comes from
many other counties in all parts of the State
There is always complaint about State taxes, and
apparently the impression prevails that the heaviest
part of the tax bill is chargeable to the State gov
eminent and its spendngs. Yet the fact is that the
State of Minnesota levied only 81 mills and
personal property last year, and two mills of that
merely collected by the State to be distributed
for local school and road purposes The remaining
81 mills really is trivial item in the average prop
erty levy of about sixty mills.
All the rest of that sixty mills is within the con-
troll OF local governments, county, municipal and
school district. Local evies have mounted year by
year because the scale of public service has gone
higher, along with private standards of living
1t is hard to retrench, for that means cutting
out activities and services to which citizens have
come accustomed. It has been the habit to go on
submitting to high tax levies, and to take it out in
growing
This year. instead of growing, farmers are slash
ing their local government evies in determined
way. Their burdens are heavy and their incomes are
reduced, condition that is reflected in villages and
lens in the only practical way, and their example
is to be needed.
For what is true in the rural township is just as
true in the city, large small If cities and coun-
ties to collect less in taxes citizens
then cities and counties must spend less on services
cut expenditures. There is other method that will
work.

WOMEN SCORE AGAIN

If someone had suggested few years
ago that 27-story clubhouse or hotel for
women exclusively could be operated in New
York or anywhere else at a profit, he would
probably have been met with the counter
suggestion that his head ought to be exam
ined.
But, through the efforts of the 5000
members of the American Woman's Asso-
citation, that very thing is being done by the
A. w. A. Clubhouse in Manhattan, which in
profit of S4,28642, after paying all operating
charges, interest and taxes.
Built for the purpose of providing a
home in New York for business and profess
sional women, as well as transient women
guests, the A. w. A. has become popular to
the extent of showing 20 per cent higher
occupancy than the average hotel in that city,
according to leading hotel accountants. The
big clubhouse was opened in March, 1929,
and was success from the first.
The excellent management shown is on
ly another evidence of women's increasing
significance and prominence in the industrial
world. The 1880 census showed ten million
women engaged in gainful occupations. 1t is
estimated that women control Al per cent of
the nations wealth and direct the expendi-
ture of more than IS per cent of it's money.
More women than men hold stock in the
country's largest corporations, and their saw
ings deposits increased seventy million dol
lars in seven years.
Women now seek the interest and profit
of business and professional life as eagerly as
men do, and what may be disconcerting to
the old-fashioned male of the species is that
they usually make good.

United States senators prefer Washington to

However in this instance we are treated to

many true hearted friends of the farmer focked. OF

explain that prohibition is but smoke screen thrown
out to hide the true ISSUE He may be right if he is
we will say that there millions Of Americans lost
in the smoke.
Borah also held forth He denounced the farm
board, declaring that it had done nothing to help
the American farmer. He didn't explain why wheat
is bringing % cents per bushel in Minneapolis
than in Winnipeg, nor why Canadian farmers
hauling their barley the line paying rs cents
duty on each bushel, and making money the
transaction. Neither did he deem. It necessary to
