RIPPER" BILL OF THIS CITY
 IS HARD HIT
Senator Hackett Put in Measure That Would Kill Off That Larkin Bill as Regards Clerk and Prosecutors of Court of Common Pleas
JUDGE OF COURT
 WOULD NAME THEM
lspccial to the Dcmocratl

state Capitol, Hartford, Conn, Jan 27.-Waterbury's famous rip per" bill under which the judge and deputy judge of the court of common pleas of that city must concur in the choice of prose- cutor and clerk Is repealed under terms of measure introduced in the senate to-day by Senator Jo- seph A. .Hackett of Waterbury.
 Two years ago Attorney William J. Larkin, Jr, succeeded in having the legislature make 1t mandatory for the two judges of the common pleas court to agree on court np- pointees. In event of disagreement the incumbents would retain their places. This insured retention of Mir Larkin as prosecutor and Wil- liam M. Gillette as clerk.
 Under the provisions of tho Hackett bill only the judge of the court would name the prosecutor and clerk. as was the custom be- fore passage of the ripper" bill in 19a1.
 ,jenator Hackett also introduced a till to-day granting all state policemen months vacation with pay annually.
 Michael Butler is named judge of the Wolcott town court and Walter Wilson deputy in another Hackett bill.

He couldn't explain why Attorney Frank Sum. ma, another brother, who lived in the 7th district, spent his time in the 3rd district, where his brother, Thomas. was moderator.

WOMEN'S WAGES

IF, under the new deal, women are allowed
to do the same work as men for less pay,
women are going to get lot Of jobs that men
otherwise would get
Yet men workers or men seeking work
have not been heard to protest the proposed
NRA codes which contain this wage discrimi-
nation. And more and more such codes have
been presented to the recovery administration
in the last few days.
In some instances the differential is ex-
planned on the ground that the work done by
women in the particular industry is different
from that Of the men in that industry In such
cases the character of the work should be de-
fined clearly; wages paid should be on this
basis and not on the workers sex
Otherwise, there will be general lowering
of wage standards. through increased en-
ployment of women. And much of the new
purchasing power at which NRA is aimed
will be lost.

the Cities Service interests with some
ably small investment Of 81, 100000 Likewise
an investment of 81 100000 has given control
over the billion dollar assets Of the Standard
Gas and Electric Company.
This is only part of the story. OF these
200 corporations. there we're forty-three with
assets of more than $500 600 900 each at the
beginning OF 1892 These are controlled by l66
individuals who serve as interlocking directors
between these forty-three corporations and
ten leading banks and three great insurance
companies
Only one Of the forty-three, the Ford Motor
Company. is controlled through ownership Of
a majority of the stock In fact, these ten
banks and three insurance companies not only
in practice control these forty-three corpora
tons. but also the ten billion dollar cor
porations of the country. with the exception
of the Ford Company.
The implications OF the picture are well
summarized by Mr.. Stillman:
There are aDous eighteen million stock
holders Of record in this country, including an
unknown number Of Implications, who really
own Our corporate assets. There are forty
eight million persons who normally work for
living and depend to large extent upon
these corporations for their livelihood.
Then there are 100 million OF us who buy
the products of these corporations and are
interested deeply in the prices and quality of
the products they offer for sale"
If Mr. Roosevelt is able successfully to buck
this massed financial power, and buck it he
must If the New Deal is to amount to any,
thing. ne will deserve far more credit than we
showered upon Abraham Lincoln for coping
with the much weaker foe of political
secession.

A NATION OF AUTOISTS

TT is worth noticing that the most recent
= figures on automobile registrations show
that the United States still is far ahead of all
other nations in the matter of making the
automobile part of the daily life of the aver
age citizen.
There are in the world today somewhat
more than 100000 autos of all types; and of
these, more than 100000 are owned and
operated in the United States The United
States still has one auto to every five inhabi-
tants. while the world ratio is one to every
sixty
Noe it is substantially more than thirty
years since the auto was made practical That
the United States continues to rank so far
ahead Of other nations in putting it to work
indicates that the much talked-of American
standard of living continues to be something
that is unequaled overseas.
