There will be plenty of opposition 10 tbe proposed plan of the Roosevelt admin istration to combine under one department the separate agencies now endeavorln2 10 en. force the prohibition. narcotic. and induE- tirsi alcohol statutes However 10 us II seems the most forward plan of this nature that has as yet been advanced.

They re- gard with suspicion any plan that con templates ehanges in the administration of the Prohibition Bureau. Even the change from the Treasury Department 10 that of the Department Of Justice was not com pieted without some eritlcgm, although II was patent that the Treasury Department had no real business controlling prohibition enforcement work.

A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION
Roosevelt's
 Book Is Out

Publication of President Frank lin D, Rooseyelts new book, LOOK ing Forward" indicates that we now have in the White House h man who has something to soy and knows how to say it.
 This book is largely collection of the presidents campaign speeches, revised and brought up to date with the addition of a good deal of new material; and 1t IS far
 more fortnight, direct and out spoken than is ordinarily the case with this kind of book.
 For you get, as you read IL, the feeling that these papers are some thing moro than tho preserved out pourings of a politician who waS looking for votes. Instead you feel that you arc listening 10 q man who has been trying to think his way out of q situation of vast com pIcxity~--h man who has brought IL keen mind to bear on the problems of tho day and who js not in the least afraid to venture on new paths if 1t seems advisable. MT Roosevelt seems to consider himself the spiritual heir of Wood" row Wilson. The great reform pro- gram that Wilson began in his first term and that was halted by the war is uppermost in the presidents mind. This new dcap of which we have heard SO much IS in large part Wilson's new freedom" brought up to date.
 All in all---Wlth it's boldness, it's readiness to reasscrt and rcphrase tho old principles Of freedom and democracy in n moment liko tho
 prcsent---it Is 6 vastly encouraging book.

Business Resumption

There has been undeniably new feel ing in tbe air these last few days. 1t seems 10 move outward from Washington in waves. The mere prospect of immediate and harmonious action by the government 10 relieve the financial breakdown and provide against future repettlons of it has started improvement. Everywhere. dur ing the business prosuation of the na- ,ionA bank holiday, people even in bIt- ter need have been disposed 10 stop groueh- ing. talk optimiaicalIy and plan for the future. IL is incredible how many new projects have been batched. or how many long contemplated projects put under way in these days of seeming sta2nalon.
 Ont of the bright spots in industry has been in Milwaukee. where the Globe Manu- featuring company. after announcing ten per cent increase in wages for 4.5OO em- ployes ordered on March g enough ma tcras to fill 500 freight cars. This move affects directly every section of the eoun- try. The proprietor of a struggling It. tie weekly newspaper in q small middle western town. who has been reduced to printing with mimeograpb found 10 bis astonishment during the week of March that people welcomed bis appeals and wanted 10 advertise in his sheet. It was the best week be had experienced in six months. The way to resume is 10 resume. American business is getting ready to re- sune,

More and more it is becoming apparent that Judge r. 5. O'Sulivan is in perhaps the most embarrassing position of bis pro- fessiona career. IL is doubly unfor- tunate that this has happened with him on the superior court bench, We refer to the endeavor to have him accept an offer as as- sistant to Attorney General Homer $. Cum mings al Washington. This would no' be an advancement for Judge OSullivan in any sense of the word He is now rea- sonably sure of bis job for life at an an- nuaI salary of $l2.000 Az Assistant ht- torney General be would receive 5000 year % long as the democrats are in power which might be only until l936 although ihe chances are that II will be for longer period We don't know where the scheme originated to remove him from the superior court bench. but it certainly ls causing con siderable comment throughout the state. We don't understand why either of the men mentioned as Judge O'Sullivan's successor Attorney, Frank bergln or David 4. Wilson, couldn't likewise be considered as eligible for thc national office That would be a bet ter solution of thg patronage problem in Connecticut than the one now under dis cusslon.

NEW STATE BANK LAWS
(New Britain Herald)

The Connecticut legislature, with not q dissenting voice, has taken speedy action to strengthen the hands of the governor and the bank commission in the present bank crisis. The governor has the right under the new law to call q banking holiday when conditions warrant; and as q matter of rec ord such holidays were already called before the new law wag passed. The bank commissioner is given the same authority over state banks as the secretary of the treasury has over national banks. especially fD the promuIgation of edicts that 20 days notice is re- qulrcd for substantial withdrawals. But such notices were required by some banks in the state q year ago. The new Legislation. therefore makes this requirement uniform regardless of bank charters.
 But these are only the prcllmin- ary laws. Others are to come, and at least one 10 be introduced to- day will further increase the power of tho bank commissioner to sup ervise bank activities after the termination of the present bank moratorium. There may be others.
 Radical banking laws are not needed fin this state. The weak sis- tcrs among the state's financial in- stitutiops--a mere handful--werc weedcd out by the incxOrable laws of economies more than year ago.
 It is a satisfaction thnt tho necessary strengthening of tho laws and their coordination so ns to make all banking charters alike upon the matters mentioned have been passed by m unanimous ver- dict Of the legislature. By NO much has the state progressed. Tho legislators arc showing good sense and arc displaying q proper con ceDtlon of public service.

Many Changes Indicated

Discussion of the proposed system of liquor control for Connecticut in the last few days is an indication that some changes nay be proposed by the judiciary commit f<e after to-day's hearing at the state capitol. When the liquor commission forwarded its report to Governor Gross we don't think there was one man among the seven who believed that it would be accepted in it's enfirety by the Legislature. Naturally in it's haste to submit the report in ample time for passage of necessary legislation to con- trcl the sale of legs1ized beer on and after April 7 it could not please everybody with it's findings But as whole the plan IS generally acceptable.
 The claim of the State Federation of Labor that the commission consist of five instead of three is open to criticism. The smaller group possesses the ability of coming to quicker and more unified de- cisicns than larger body As to the claim that in days to come illicit liquor interests might gain such 2 hold on the politics of the state as to dictate the election of their bsnd-picked governor be could do no more more than name one commissioner in bis tenure of office. He would have 10 be re- elected twice before he could name the en- tire body of three commissioner.
 And if the General Assembly should be given the power 10 pass judgment on the 9ubernatorlal choices for eommssionerships we think that the same state Of affairs would exist as does to-day--constant con- fliet over these offices with the best man be- ina overlooked for the paftyman. What happens today when the governor proposes man for judgeship or commissioner stipi His qualifications are overlooked too many times and bis party loyalty or con tributions rated highly. We certainly hope inst if liquor control bill ig passed to the governor will be entrusted the power of naming its membership. whether it be three or five. PersonaIly we don't think the number is % important. provided it is kept within reason.
 We feel sure that to,day's hearing will bring to light all the perplexing points of the proposed system of permits and fegula- ffCns. Certainly we have never had any thing quite like this suggested for Connec- tieut in recent years. although we cannot voucb for the various forms of liquor con- troi of the 9th century. It is a step for ward in the temperance movement. much more % than prohibition ever thought of being. With little regard for personal liberty the return of legallzed liquor manu- fscture and sale can be conducted in thIs .. c. states. with no discomfort 10 tbose who ob- jeet to intoxicating beverages. Connecti- cut need not follow the lead of other states in setting up her standards of liquor fon- troll In tbat she should be guided by what her own inhabitants believe is best for them.
