The Battle Looms

Minor court officials attaches. etc. are preparing to storm the legislative chambers of the Capitol on February when the judi ciary committee considers the proposed district court system. Inasmuch as the change has been recommended by the Connecticut judi cial council and is also favored by Governor Gross unusual attention is being manifest in its progress at the hands of the judiciary com mittee of the legislature. It is safe to say that there will be spirited opposition to its ap- proval by the committee Should the measure be passed by the general assembly 1t would eliminate large number of minor court judges justices of the peace, prosecutors etc.
 As someone remarked the backbone of the republican organization in Connecticut is in reality eentered in its control of the courts of the state. Deprive the machine of this form of patronage and it would not function with the smoothness or ruthlessness of bygone days. It was not so much with the intention of breaking up the machine that the judicial council suggested the district court plan, but more for the purpose of removing the courts from politics and raising their standards We feel that Governor Cross IS motivated smi- 1arly and not because his party is never recog- nized when minor court appointments are made.
 Of course. if the bill IS passed, it will not be put into effect immediately and probably city court appointments that have already been considered as good as made will take effect. It would be necessary for the state to be divided into judicial districts in which there would be judge, deputy judge, and the usual corps of court assistants. In some dis tricts this force would be larger than others depending upon the size of the district and the activity of the enforcement agents in that particular territory. For instance any district comprising the more popuous cities of the state would naturally be manned by larger staffs than others.
 But enough for the technical details. Theo- retieally the idea is sound. Put into practice it might not prove feasible. But certainly we would like to see the governor given the power to name all judges. The system has worked well in the case of the New Haven city court. The noise that has been made this year over the New Haven court appointments signifies that republicans want only republican governors to nominate judges and not demo- cratic ones when they are elected. If Governor Cross had failed of election, there would have been nothing said about the New Haven ap- pontments. Probably this little episode may spell defeat for the proposed district court measure. Some day. though. Connecticut will get away from 'wayside' courts, hurried ses- sions presided over by justices of the peace and lax administration of justice. Let the judiciary committee remember such complaints at its hearing next week.

Businesslike Doctoring

Doctoring is usually regarded as expensive to the patient, but it is really more expensive to the doctor. Half a million persons are treated in this country every day without charge. This is the estimate of Dr Charles c. Heyd, president of the medical society of New York county. He says the charity medi- cal service amounts to $365. 100000 year. or Sl,OOOOOO day. The charity patient usually thinks, "Oh. well, the doctor can af ford it." Some doctors can, but far more can't. The average physician has an annual income of not more than $3.00O year, de- spite the fact that he has to undergo longer period of expensive training than any other profession, and is usually we'll into middle age before he has acquired a fair practice. As a result, only one physician in five leaves enough property at his death to equal the cost of his education.
 Not only is this situation unfair to doctors but it is of doubtful benefit to patients. A self-respectng status. under which medical needed, and patients would never hesitate to call for it, would be better for both. Dr Heyd makes two suggestions. Either he would have medical insurance, with people insurng themselves against serious illness and opera tions as they now do against death. or he would establish credit system through which people could obtain medical attendance on a deferred payment plan. The latter sounds more practical than the former It's about time that business methods were injected into the vital business of protecting peoples health.

See America First

We don't remember when we first heard this expression but it has always been on the tip of our tongue whenever trips abroad or travel tours were mentioned. We are glad to see that Representative Dyer of Missouri has introduced measure in congress which would make the above caption byword in this country. The following description of the bill amplifies it somewhat. It is bill to promote travel to, and in the United States and its possessions, thereby promoting Amer ican business and to encourage foreign travel in the United States.
 The tourist trade is rated as the fourth in- dustry in the country today. Certainly if Uncle Sam takes hand in encouraging it the entire nation will profit and especially those sections that can offer super attractions New England has been boosting its charms for quite few years now We find it profitable to welcome motorists to our midst not merely for their summer vacations, but for fall tours or even for winter sports, such as New England climate alone can produce. But New England is not alone in its allurements. Name a state in the Union and something to its advantage can be said.
 The people of this nation are great trav- elers. And never more so than today with millions of automobiles on the highways. The automobile has opened up every region in this great country of ours. Anybody who has the time and the money plus, of course. the inclination, could familiarize himself with realms hitherto seen only through the pages of the novel or the textbook. However, there is always trend on the part of Amer jeans to ignore their own country for the old world We admit that it is fashionable to visit the continent. but no American should ever do so until he has seen and known his own country thoroughly. And how many of us are in that class?
 Plan your European or Asian trips by all means. Travel really does broaden persons outlook on life and gives one generally an incentive to go on living, but don't neglect the good old United States Comparatively speak ing this isn't such tremendous expanse of territory, but packed in our 100000 square miles of territory are enough sights. historic and otherwise. to satisfy the most curious slghtseer. See America first by all means Do it this year if you have the chance. Complete your education at home.

Courtesy and Safety

Motor courtesy and motor heroism are to be encouraged in one city by devoting spe- cial period to practising them. observing them and reporting specific examples of them. Cash rewards are to be given for conspic- uous acts of courage or politeness. The courtesy -heroism drive IS planned as part of the publicity preceding the l93l automobile . show in that community. but it has far more important consequences than inducing people to go to the show. It promotes safety.
 In previous motor courtesy weeks. that community's traffic officers have observed a notable decrease in the number of accidents. When drivers are watching for chance to be courteous and to observe courtesy in oth- ers they stop driving recklessly and pay more attention to traffic regulations. They remember to signal drivers behind them of changes in their course or speed. They stay in the traffic lane in which they belong in- stead of hogging the whole road or driving slowly in the speed lane. All those things make for safety. It's pity motor courtesy doesn't become fixed. year-round habit

Nearly 25O.OoO chestnut seedlings are now growing in the nurseries of the U. s. Bureau of Plant Industry in Maryland. This should be good news to old timers who mourn the passing of that most luscious of nuts. the chestnut. New England is practically deprived of chestnut trees. although we occasionally hear of a few trees emerging from the roots of the old ones that were blighted. How ever. these are not of long life and are not blight resistant. Sooner or later they will succumb. Uncle Sam is experimenting with Chinese and Japanese chestnuts. He has plant ed 25O bushels of them at his nurseries. Here's hoping they prove adaptable to this climate.

100000 appropriation which the government was asked to make. that the Red Cross would not undertake to distribute such a sum on will not administer such fund if the appro- priation is made. the government would have to find its own ways to distribute it.
 It is easy enough to distribute such fund, but getting it to the people who ought to have it is another proposition. If the govern ment has S25. 100000 to spend, many people will clamor for share of that fund who are not entitled to have any of it. while lot of worthy people who ought to be helped Gber- ally with it. will be restrained from asking for it, on account of their pride. If such distribution is handled by the local politi- clans of the 21 states where the drought suf- fering is worst many of them would dis tribute it in very undiseriminating way. Favortism and friendship would count in many places.
 Politicians are usually warm hearted people who would mean to distribute such a fund fairly. but sympathy for any old bard luck story would get the better of good judg- ment and justice in many cases, and many stories that fail to coincide with the facts would be accepted at face value. The people will hope that whatever sums the government may appropriate will be distributed by the Red Cross. This great organization has had the training for such emergencies. it has its agencies all over the country. and it would make the money go huch farther than if it was handled by less experienced persons

At The National Capitol DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER Digest of Who's Who and What's What
 RODNEY
(NEA Service Writer)

Washington. = Nearly everyone agrees that prohibition probably will be the big 1892 campaign issue, but let's not be too sure that the next presidential election is going to set tie anything.
 First, we must See where the master minds of the two major parties are going to stand on the issue. If that question has been bothering you a little, you can rest assured that it has been giving 8 lot more worry to the master minds. Your correspondent will undertake to explain just why.
 Among the republicans, the most important thing to consider is the 1892 attitude of President Hoover, who presumably will be renomin- ated and will almost surely be able to tell his party what to put in it's platform. The latest idea is that Hoover may campaign as an "open- minded" law enforcement president while admitting that prohibition is Ion trial" and may prove to be un- enforceable. That was the attitude of the two men on the Wickersham commission regarded as most likely to reflect Hoover's views, Chairman
 
 "Straddling' Is Dangerous The campaign will be as good as under way before congress can act on the commissions recommenda- tion for more money, more men and other measures for enforcement. It will be easy then to argue that the recommendations ought to be car ried out before any decision is made as to enforceability.
 On the other hand, some folks l would think such an attitude was just another straddle and the dan- gers of straddling on prohibition have been becoming increasingly l pronounced. If successful, however, it would put off the day of ultimate decision on prohibition.
 | As far as prohibition is concerned, the master minds of both parties are worrying almost entirely about the big northern states such as New York, Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts. New Jersey and Connecticut. The vets won victories in all those states last November and the victories, ex- cept in New Jersey, were at the eX- pense of the republicans. They were very impressive victories. too.
 Dry Faces Handicaps
 The republican parties in New York. Illinois and New Jersey went pretty definitely wet, however, and | although all six normally vote re- publican in presidential year there is plenty of room for belief that a really dry presidential candidate would be likely to lose them all.
 A dry Hoover at the head of the g. o. p. ticket, with hardly any other issues to help overcome the handi' cap in those states. Is an almost sick ening prospect to many northern re- publican politicians. Of course, if prosperity were to return pretty soon with a rush and the democrats 1 were again to make the bad political mistake of nominating Catholic there wouldn't be so much to worry about.
 But the republican master minds can't depend on anything of the sort and so they are worried terribly. MI | Hoover himself being the most con- spicuous figure on the anxious seat Both the vets and the drys of the party have been on his neck lately
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-02-05

Of special interest to Connecticut should be the decision rendered in the Delaware river water diversion case It is somewhat similar to that being fought out by Connecticut and Massachusetts. A decision is expected almost any day, but in preliminary skrmishes Mas sachusetts has seemed to be favored. If the United States supreme court rules as did the Special Master in the case Massachusetts will be permitted to divert water from the Swift and Ware rivers, tributaries of the Connecti- cut. into large storage reservoir from which the water will ultimately be sent to the metropolitan area of Boston. New York petitioned years ago for the right to tap the headwaters of the Delaware river. New Jer- sey and Pennsylvania both protested but the Special Master has ruled that New York has the right to divert certain amount of water, 44O,O00,O00 gallons daily to be exact. No actual damage will be caused either of the states by diminution of flow of the stream is the ruling given, inasmuch as the flow must never be less than the present minimum. The outlook isn't so bright for our case.
