A Courageous Stand

The attitude that Judge P. B. OSuli- van of the superior court adopted last week in handing down an adverse decision on the question of receivership fees in the case of closed Hartford bank will earn him the re- spect of the entire state as well as its admir- ation. It has become evident of recent years that legal fees too often were based not on the amount of work and time involved but the amount of money that the courts would sanction or the client could afford This has been especially apparent in the numerous receivership cases, where the law does not fix any set fee as it does in bankruptcy case.
 As Judge Sullivan declared in his brief. Tn times like these through which we are now passing counsel should and courts will give heed to the dangers which large fees engender. Were the generous fees of for mer days to be tolerated at this time. 1t might easily become fixed in the minds of depositors in liquidating institutions that court VIII permit the misfortune of the de- positors to become the fortune of the law yers If such an impression were created the faith of the people in the court thes one thing above all which now commands their confidence. would be shattered :"
 It is bad enough for receiverships to be regarded generally with suspicion without adding fuel to the fire. We are only sur prised that it wasn't until this late date that someone in authority did not adopt the same stand as Judge O'Sullivan. We know that the courts will applaud but will they follow his example. We can only say to them. go you and do likewise. Not that we think every fee asked in receivership is outland- ish or excessive. Some represent merely fair value upon the time of the law firm in- volved. Such are easily separated from the ehaf. The point of reasonableness is where the one begins and the other stops.

Less Costly Greeting"

The job of the official 'greeter' in American cities has become much less color ful and generous. The present greeter in New York City. who has held the post since last April says he has spent no more than S25 in welcoming celebrities to the metropo- olis. That sum in striking contrast to the bills totalling between S4,000 and $5,000 which have been left ever from past greet ing ceremonies. The present deputy con- troler is very indignant and has decided that the city will not pay the bills unless the creditors bring legal action and win judg- ment. He says: Why. these charges are outrageous. We have bills here for lunches. flowers, auto hire and other things for which the city should never be asked to pay
 It is hard on the hotels, florists, auto renting services, and others who merely com piled with what were supposed to be bona fide official orders. It looks bit like de- faulting or repudiating debts incurred in non productive enterprises, but none the less incurred. New York's extravagant welcomes to all and sundry, the famous. the truly celebrated and the merely notorious, made the rest of the nation little envious. Now, the spectacle of the big town calling those welcome parties foolish and refusing to pay the piper ought to drive home wholesome lesson.

piece ol ItfisIallon and lo end dislaslefnl scene in which some of our dignihed legis- hiofs completely lost their aplomb and their sense of fair play. It was natural that the bill provoked as much antagonism in the islands themselves as it did right in Wash ington.
 Some one of these days the question of Filipino independence will get the expert att tention that it deserves. But SO long as the islands are to be made the prey of various lobbyists we won't have anything construct i've. And incidentally there is yet no unan- imity of opinion, even among the native Filipinos. on the question of independence. There are those who claim that the time hasn't yet come for this move. The islands must acquire more solid footing than they now have. They must show that they can exist and progress without the protecting arm of Uncle Sam around them and duty free tariffs at their call
 But by the time the United States gets around to the point where it will grant the Philippines independence such a position in the economic world will probably be at tained. In the meantime let our legislators down at Washington improve each shining hour by less atrocities like the Hawes-Cut- ting bill and more salutary measures.

Westport is one of the first towns of the state to consider seriously an idea advanced some months ago by State Tax Commis- soner Blodgett. Governor Gross, and other officals. It is proposed that the town change it's fiscal year date to start. on Jult instead of September 9. Then the dates of the two tax installments will be fixed as June and December 1. This will obviate the necessity of the town borrowing money in anticipation of tax returns. Of course. it will be necessary to borrow money to make such changes as this, but it is believed that the interest saved in coming years will more than take care of the bonded indebted ness The idea is sound in all respects. We wouldn't be surprised to find more towns and most of the states large cities advocat- ing adoption of similar plans in the coming years.

much of that opposition is due to genuine doubt as to the merits of certain proposals and how much to mere partisan politics is diffi- cult to determine.
 Decision as to the merits of some items also requires a large degree of special knowledge.
 For instance, the proposal for a new division of public works in the interior department. grouping the various government engineer ing and construction agencies, hits a snag because it would transfer the rivers and harbors work now under army engineers and would create huge, powerful new mon ey-spending agency.
 The army argues that its engi- neers badly need ,pearce-time train ing on major jobs, and various congressional leaders insist that the whole public works operation must not be thrown into politics as it might be if under a cabinet officer. Democratic learders last session stood for 8 public works division as an independent agency.

aration from the United States. The Filipino people thus retain the power, under the Hawes-Cutting bill, to remain under American Jurisdiction. althouhg the assump- ton is that, having demanded in- dependence for 33 years already. they will not refuse the boon whom 1t finally comes.
 One or two important differences remain to be adjusted between the senate and the house. The senate bill provides for the attainment of independence after 12 years from the date of a adoption of the Fill pino constitution, while the house Iill limits the preparatory period to eight years. It is to be expected that in conference the two branches will agree and that the measure will be sent to the president very soon.
 A veto would not be surprising. As Q republican president, MT oHover may choose to follow the republican tradition, which con-. sists of 50 parts promises and 50 parts postponement so far as Phil ippine independence is concerned. But the. vote Ia the house for this legislation was 50 overwhelming that a veto could be overcome in that body. The senate vote of 54 to 19 against recommittal also in dicates q two-thirds majority in the upper chamber against execu- tive disapproval.
 When and if this bill becomes law, one pledge will have been suf- ficiently redeemed to mitigate the force of the reproach that the promises of nations are written in water.

MR FAREWELL IN WASHINGTON

New Haven Journal-Courier)
 Professor of philosophy Charles M. Bakeweu seems to be taking his new position as Connecticut representatiye-ele with commend- able seriousness. When the next congress assemblies for regular ses- sion in December of 1883, perhaps for q special session soon after March 4th, he will not descend upon Washington as a neophyte who must be initiated into the
 mysteries of congressional acttvi- ties. Last week he visited the cap itaI and on Friday watched the
 house in action. As he himself remarked. "I met number of the members and obtained an idea or the general procedure"
 Those who have followed the house doings in news reports VIII agree with MT Bakewell that they are in print what he discovered
 thev are in action--''interestin There may be some who will sug-
 gest that the representatiye-elec should regard this lame-duck ses- sion's activities as samples of what not to do. But whether lame-duck doings are regarded as a warning or as a model. the spectacle Of Connecticuts newly chosen repre-. sentative studying congressional procedure under the tute1age of his experienced colleague, Representa- tive Goss. is 2 pleasing one.
 Some observers may claim its as significant that MT Bakewell dis agreed thoroughly with the very first congressional speech he heard. MT Huddleton of Alabama arose on Friday and attacked the con- vention method of repeating pro- hibition. But once again those who have studied the question will agree with MT Bakewell, who said. | "It was an emphatic speech. but | It seems to me the convention method is q proper one."

CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT (Springfield Republican,

It will be asked, has public sen timent changed substantially con- corning the desirability of ratifying the child labor .amendment to the federal constitution? now that Governor Ely's special commission on the stabilization of unemploy- ment has declared by vote of : to in favor of its ratification, thus officially bringing the question once more to the attention of the legislators. {.
 The depression has developed an unemployment crisis of staggering dimensions since the Massachusetts referendum on the c6ld labor amendment resulted in It's defeat by the people. And the depression has seemed to strengthen every where the sentiment in favor of more uniform laws regulating la bor. Recently in these columns at- tention was called to the advo- cacy by 8 New Orleans textile manufacturer of federal constitu- tional amendment enabling con- gress to enact uniform laws. for the country respecting hours of labor per week in order to reduce un- employment. The present competi- ton between the states in regard to factory regulation has shameful as well as uneconomic features, and the unemployment crisis is bringing them into relief.
 Especially child labor is now seen in a new light, furthermore, owing to the fact that children in industry are keeping unemployed adults out of jobs. Frequent sug- gestions are heard that the com pulsory school age he raised in or- der to meet this evil. But there is little tendency to act upon them in the state legislatures.
 The federal child labor amend ment is too narrow to satisfy all demands now being made for uni form labor standards. It would be wholly inadequate to satisfy those who now want adult labor of both sexes to be regulated by congress. It is not to be expected. for this and other reasons, that the child labor amendment could now be revived in the legislatures of the several states. Yet there are signs, including the unexpected ex- precision of the Ely unemployment commission, that the public mind is less hostile to federal regulation of labor standards than was the case eight years ago.
