Laymen have been telling the railroads for
years to build lighter trains. That is to be
one feature of the Union Pacifie's new 100
mile train. A 900 horsepower oil-electric
motor will be another. There are already
more than $50 oil-burning railroad engines
in use in various parts of the country, but
the one now proposed will nave the very
latest developments in such engines
1t will be three-car, four-truck, articu-
lated train, built of aluminium and steel and
weighing only 70 tons - less than one
Pullman car weighs today. 1t will be
streamlined, with windows and doors flush
with the sides, with lights, bell and siren
sunk into the contours, with bullying beetle
head that tapers off to the ordinary car
height. Fresh air will be pumped through
the train for the passengers On the whole
run from Chicago to Los Angeles the aver
age speed is to be just over so miles an hour.
Though the desert the train is to make | 10
miles an hour.
The lightness of aluminium is expected
to save much expense in equipment. Cars
made of it will have the same tensile strength
of steel trains, with quicker stopping ability
and high safety factor in motion. Adoption
of such modern Improvements should give
the railroads better chance to regain some
of their lost traffic and to share in the next
period of prosperity along with their auto
mobile and airplane competitors.

It's Unanimous

Senator William H. Hackett of New Ha-
ven was given a nice tribute in the state
Senate last week when every one of his fell
low members in that body rose to endorse
his nomination as State Tax Commissioner.
The senator was absent when the vote was
taken and was unaware of this signal ae-
ton until informed. Seldom, if ever, is any
public official rendered such an ovation as
this. Yet the New Haven legislator richly
deserved it. He has been a faithful men,
Der of the democratic party all his life and
has given lavishly of his time to serve it.
More than that he has labored for three
sessions of the General Assembly to keep the
ship of state on an even keel. Even re-
publicans have praised his knowledge of
matters pertaining to taxes, education. and
state finances. We can recall speech he
made in his first term (that was 1929 that
was applauded roundly by republicans of
high estate. And at that time there were
just enough democrats in the entire two
houses at Hartford to make good forty
five team. He showed at the time Splen-
did grasp of the financial structure Of the
state and its innermost workings.
At that session he was in reality the
party's spokesman on its principles He con-
tinued in this respect two years ago when
he was again member of the minority. AT
that time he had been mentioned for vari-
Gus appointive places but none were forth
coming to democrats then. This year he
assumed the burden of most of the legisla-
tive work of heading various committees.
First and foremost he was named chairman
of the appropriation committee In all he
heads five committees and is on an addi-
tional one.
He succeeds man who has come to
hold a national reputation in tax matters.
The dropping of Mr. Blodgett in favor of
MIR Haekett in no way reflects any discredt
upon the former. He merely makes way
for another good man. You can argue
TIE appointment any way you desire but 1t
simply resolves itself into the question of
replacing an official who has built up his
department to high standard with one
who will continue the good work and per-
haps even advance this reputation notch
or two.

MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSES
bridgeport Telegram

bridgeport Telegram)
We can understand why there is
some resentment over the fact that
the Motor Vehicle commissioner by
authority of his office has the pow
er to revoke drivers licenses with
out court sanction. At the same
time, our States record for reck-
less driving being what 1t IS, 1t
seems that the legislature should
go slow in resembling this authority
without some form of protection
against reckless or drunken driv-
ing.
AS it is now, when a man is ar
rested for reckless or drunken driv
ing his license Is automatically sus-
pended. AS we understand the bill
which the house has approved,
such suspension in the future
would hold good only after a court
had taken the necessary action.
In such circumstances a man ar
rested for drunken driving could
drive away in his own car while
still under the influence" unless
he were so obviously Intoxicated
that the police felt empowered to
hold him for plain drunkenness.
The suspension Of his license there
after, instead of being dependent up
on the action OF the motor vehicle
commissioner. would follow the ac-
ton of the court. A change to some
lesser charge might then prevent
forfeiture OF the license.
II we had motor vehicle courts,

A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION
He Learned About
Women From Her

"Zest," by Charles q. Norris,
Is another item in Mr.. Norris's
specialty-long novels with short
titles, Unfortunately, 1t seems to
this reviewer to be about the weak
est one he has yet given US.
It has to do with a young San
Franciscan and his search for what
Elinor Glyn would call his Soul
Mate. He never really finds her,
although he surely hunts persis-
tently enough, and in the end he
comes to disaster; and the title OF
the book, as nearly as can make
out, derives from the enthusiasm
with which he prosecutes his
search.
Twice the lad gets married; first
to a daughter Of decayed gentility,
who torments him because he
doesn't get rich fast enough and
who, at last, leaves him, and next
to a more level-headed and COM
panionable young lady whom he.
for reasons that aren't quite clear,
himself deserts.
In the meantime he has an af-
fair with 4 girl at his office and
another with the wife of an army
officer. It is this latter charmer
who gets him into q jam. He
leaves his second wife to go and
live with her, and when he tries
to walk out on her she up and
plugs him. and Mr.. Norris has
made such cantankerous female
OF her that 1t Is impossible to
understand why any man In his
senses would have anything to do
with her.
All in all, the book is a waste Of
time. It's pity. because Mr..
Norris can produce first-rate fic-
ton.

A Flying Start

We like the way that commissioner of
motor vehicles has tackled his new posi-
ton. In practically the first public re-
marks he made after assuming the office held
by Robbins B. Stocked for so many years
he stated that he believed that auto fees
were too high. Most motorists will agree
with him. And people who come into this
state from Others are frank in stating that
if possible they avoid taking out Conneeti-
cut licenses. This is quite true. Just check
up ON the fees charged by some of our
neighboring states and you'll find it So
OF course in some of these states the diff
ference is made up by levying larger gaso-
line tax. In Connecticut the state gas tax
now is only two cents per gallon. An adj
ditional cent is laid on by the federal gov
eminent This may be increased soon by
another three-quarter of cent federal levy.
too. In that one respect Connecticut
stands high on the list. Her gasoline taxes
are small compared to Others. But we
wonder if this allows the state to lay heavy
fees on the motorist for driving a car and
for owning one and putting it into opera
ton.
At various times lower fees have been
suggested. Even at this session of the Legis-
lature it was proposed that the fees be cut.
but that the gas taxes be raised. In short
the motorist would still be forced to pay
Just about as much as has been although
be would do it in different manner, sof.
tened by the fact that it is in gas taxes.
The cost in the long run did not differ
materially. We never could see the sense
in such a plan, inasmuch as the higher gas
tax states are to-day confronted with the
problem of driving out gas bootleggers. as
big a menace as liquor bootleggers.
We agree with Commissioner Conner
that the fees are too high and hope to lend
all cooperation possible in bringing about
. speedy readjustment of them. 1t may
mean decreased funds for the department
and for highway expenditures. but there
are those of us who believe that the bud
gets of these departments may be just bit
out of proportion in the general scheme of
things in this or any other state.

With a $4,000 appropriation in

this summer. Not only are amateur gar
deners beginning to complain about the
number and variety of the bugs that are
feeding on their choicest sprouts but truck
gardeners report it harder than ever to keep
the increasing hordes in their proper places.
Now comes news from Westchester county
which prides itself on its natural scenery

are being stripped of their foliage by spring
cankerworms. 1t is the worst depreciation

officials. but it is going to be difficult to

trees with a strip of building or tar paper.

tree and the strip. Then paint the paper
