Waterbury In 9th District

Rumors from Hartford this week were to the effect that the sixth congressman to which Connecticut is now entitled will be elected at large and the task of carving six districts out of the territory in which there are now five will be left to future legislatures. The com mittee on congressional and senatorial districts nov has before it "a message from Governor Cross calling attention to the fact that the state has an extra seat and that the proper procedure should be taken to provide for fill ing this in the congressional election of l932.
 In addition to the changes proposed in the Bowers bill atthc 1921 session several others are now being discussed at the Capitol in particular one which makes the Connecticut river boundary line between the eastern part of the state which would comprise but one congressional district and the western part of the state divided into five. In both these plans Waterbury is the largest city in the new sixth district. It is coupled with but two other towns of New Haven county. Meriden and Wolcott. The others are in Hartford county and consist of the larger cities of Bristol and New Britain and number of smaller ones.
 The main idea in creating congressional districts is to provide each representative with definite and fairly equal constituency. By consulting the state population and that of the five congressional districts today it will be seen that the ratio of proportion is sadly awry in several instances. The 1930 federal census of Connecticut was l.606.903. Divided by six. the enumber ef districts. the ratio is set at 267.- 817. Of course. it would be physically and geographically impossible to create six dis tricts. each with this population figure. Nat .urally some will be larger. the others smaller. But the main idea is to approximate this fig ure; That should be the sole guide in creating six Congressional districts. q sS
 That is a job for the present legislature to osr way of thinking. It should not be left to future assemblies. The sooner the new dis tricts are carved out. the better off the state will be. And also any charges of gerryman- dsring will hsye had year and one-half to subside before the new congressman is elected With party lines in every section of the state shifting it cannot be stated today what one town will do next year or two years hence Connecticut is entitled to six congressional districts equal in population size, not terri tcrial extent. Let's have them.

Keeping To The Right

According to some motor vehicle statistics. the cause that leads to more automobile acci- dents than any other one thing. is the failure to keep to the right when the view of the road is obstrueted. Any motorist knows what the temptation is to violate this rule. He has often been annoyed by some slower car ahead, which is going just fast enough SO it is hard to get ahead of it, yet slowly enough so that he is held back.
 Many drivers, after dragging behind such car for few minutes, simply can't stand it any longer. They may be traversing eurv- ing road on which trees and bushes obstruct the view. but they take chance and rush ahead on one of these curves. Then around the bend with the speed of the wind comes another car. The next thing may be call for some hospital and perhaps for the undertaken. With just a little more patience and self con- tro. the horrible mischances that so often occur in this way can be avoided

State Referendum Demanded

In hastily pettioning the legislature to pass an act calling for a state referendum on the prohibition question Minority Leader William M.i Citron of Mddetown set task for a committee that has had little or nothing to do for several sessions of the general assembly. The legislative committee on federal relations often times will not be called upon to con- slider one bill throughout an entire session. We sdon't recall reading or hearing of this committee meeting since the question of Irish independence was preached to the legislature. That must be all of six years ago. if not longer. That committee reported unfavor- ably on the matter We hope the present one will look with more favor upon MT Citron's measure.
 No date for the hearing on the proposed referendum has yet been set which is probably good thing as Mir Citron's bill in its present form could stand some alterations. additions or subtraetions. to make it appeal to the gem eral public. Among other things the meas ure calls for the referendum at the same time state and national election is being held. Inasmuch as special election IS indicated might it not be far better to hold it this year instead of in l932? That's merely technical point What the state is more concerned with is the actual question on which it is 10 vote. Unfortunately or fortunately, whichever way you look at it. Mr Citron pro- poses three questions instead of one. We wonder if Connecticut voters will struggle with three as other states have.
 The first proposal is on the state referen- dunn act. Had our republican legislators fol- lowed their own consciences instead of Mir Rcrabaek's advice they would have repealed the state enforcement act by this time. When the bill to repeal it. known as the Crusaders bill came up. republicans voted against, demo- crats for. Mir Johnson. the republican leader. intinated that his party was actually wet, but did not believe that Connecticut should em- barrass the federal government to the extent of making it do all the police work in check ing violations of the liquor laws. That is nothing but straddle. And it's hard for the republican party to explain it.
 Which is all the more reason why Mr Citron's bill ought to be reported favorably by the federal relations committee and brought before both houses of the assembly for record vote. each member to commit himself or herself on the question. As to the three ques- tions that Mir Citron proposes we believe that they may be made simpler. or reduced. when the bill is finally ready for presentation. It was as most of us know. hastily prepared i'm mediately after the Crusaders bill had been rejeeted. To the layman it is confusing. But t does call for a, state referendum. And that's what we should have in Connectieut And if the Atate votes as preponderantly wet as it is claimed to be-. the legislature will be in duty bound to repeal the state enforcement act and to petition congress to proceed towards repeal of the 18th amendment.

UniversaI Plagiarism


 Goethe said there are only 36 original tragic situations. Considering the number of dramas and novels that have been written. not to mention the biographies of tragic lives. since literature began. it seems obvious that every one of those situations must have been written up many times. The only original thing an author can put into his tragic drama or novel is his own interpretation of the situ- ation and his working out of the human re- lationships events and results.
 In spite of the fact that there must be end less repetitions of general plot. suits for plagiarism are numerous. A recent one is that brought by Hollywood authoress against Eugene O'Neill for his Strange In- terlude." The defense pointed out that several of Gothe's 36 tragic situations were similar to situations in both the plaintiffs book and O'Neill's play. that one of the st- uations could be found in Plutarchs Lives. and that poem of Amy Lowelps also con- tained somewhat similar situation. The merits of this particular case are not to be settled here. But the suit suggests that if mere similarity of plot and situation is to be considered plagiarism. then most authors will have to go out of business; there just aren't enough plots to go around.
