"No Deals," Urges Blackall

While many democrats won't align them- selves with the stand that State Senator John C. Blackall of Hartford, former Water bury resident urges, he will find plenty of support from within his own party. Sena- tor Blackall is opposed to any deals by the party in power in the state, inasmuch as he believes that it is the will of the people of this nation that clean sweep be made of those now in power. In part he said, AS interpret the last national election the peo- pie of the country transferred the affairs of the country to the democrats who must measure up to the job or be rejected in the next national election.
 Bringing the case closer to home Senator Blackal continues. ''As read the results of the state election the people of Connee- tieut have turned over their affairs to the democratic party and only the archaic bor- oueh system prevented the will of the people being carried out in the lower branch of the State Assembly. But the decision of the people still stands and the democratic party of the City of Hartford and the County of Hartford and the State of Connecticut is replete with men and women of fine character, splendid abilities and high ideals. 2 Therefore, the administration of affairs of the state should be placed in their hands. | am against deals of all sorts. People are interested in taxes .. .; they want courage not deals. -
 It was a reputed deal in the Hartford po- lice court that caused the new Hartford sem ator to express himself as foreibly as he did. It's good attitude to take. The democratic party in the past has never been able to make a so-ealled deal with the dominant re- publieans. While they were in power they increased their hold on the administration of all offices by dispensing patronage merely within their own ranks. It need not be con- sidered retaliation if the democrats do the same thing, but merely the business of fol- lowing a policy established by the former party in control.
 However, any such policy as this may run acainst stone wall in Governor Cross. He does not believe that the democrats being in power they should refuse to take offices that belong to them by virtue of their victory at the polls. He is too much practical pol itician for that. But he is also fine student of government and realizes that bipartisan representation. especially in the courts of the state is far more desirable than the past sys- tenn in vogue in Connecticut, He has stead fastly elung to that viewpoint in any judicial appointments he has made. That however, did not result in any political Ideals" against which Senator Blackal rails to such good pur- pose. The two attitudes can be reeoncied. There is no conflict apparent.

much as this estimate comes from naval officials, it should be fairly reliable. There is also developing in the Navy Department a complete eooperatior with the plans of Hartford residents for rehabilitation of the old frigate and it's anchorage at some spot
 in the Connecticut River near Hartford. With Senator Augustine Lonergan and Rep resentative Herman Kopplemsn. both Hart ford residents, in Washington this yean there should be fine opportunity to possess the old war vessel as a historical floating mu- scum. It will be necessary for Congress to authorize turning over the ship to the state, but such authorization should be speedily forthcoming.

of On The Right Foot

Ks Governor Cross begins his second term today he faces the prospect of more suspicious period than the two years just ended We. make this assertion in the face of hard times, threatening deficits, and lean treasuries. The democrats will control the federal government after March 4. That in itself will constitute great aid to the dem- ocrats who now hold state office. Add to that democratic control of the state senate and the position of Governor Cross is far more secure than it was two years ago. He is in position to dictate today, not to compromise.
 We anticipate more reaction to the gov ernor's policies in the coming session of the Legislature than was accorded them two years ago. He still remains firm on most of them. He will no doubt ask for confir- nation of various measures in his inaugural address today. That most of them will be passed by the General Assembly seems logi- cal to believe. With democratic majority in the Senate republicans in the House can not hope for any more than an even break provided, of course. they show some signs of cooperation in pushing through legislation, which. although sponsored by democrats, has statewide appreciation.
 Such measures as old age pensions, dis trict courts. public welfare, institutional re- lief, etc. demand the attention of not one party but of the two major parties. They can be conceived as partisan measures, although they may be introduced by the representatives of but one party. They are as necessary for the individual political sub division as for the state as whole Con- nscticut legislators face most interesting session this year, one in which they can prove to the voters that they are worthy to be called law makers. We don't doubt but what the 1933 General Assembly can go down in this states history provided it fore goes politics for constructive legislation.
 Our congratulations to Governor Cross as he begins his second term We look for an even more enlightened administration in the two years to come that of the past two. We sincerely trust our hope will come true.

PROTECT STATE RIGHTS
: (Hartford Times)

During the discussion of prohibi- ton in recent years those who fa- vor repeal or re-submission have laid much stress upon ratification by conventions in the several states.
 A decided belief has grown up that conventions called for this particular purpose and no other will be able to give a decision re- fiecting public opinion more accur- ately than one derived from legis- latures. Of course, that depends on the manner in which conven- tions are organized. If delegates were to be elected at large the ajority opinion on the amend ment probably would Do reflected. If. however, conventions were to be chosen as legislatures are chosen 1t Is probable that the decision they would render would be about what the legislatures would give.
 Although the federal constitution provides that proposed amend ments may be submitted to con- ventions no convention machinery is set up, and since no amendment ever has been voted upon by the convention process there is no precedent for Q guides Suggestion has been offered that congress should specify, in provid. ing for ratification by conventions how the delegates thereto should be chosen. Wo do not agree with that reasoning. It seems to ui highly improper and undesirable invasion of tho rights of the states
 The federal constitution wal framed by delegates from the states. It conferred upon federa government only the powers spocl. fically mentioned. All other powers were reserved to the states.
 The United States Is c union oi | independent states. It seems to ui improper that the congress sug. gesting q change in the funda. mental governing document should have anything whatever to sas about tho manner in which statei shall givc their decision with ref. erence to the acceptance of tha' change.
 If congress has the power to Bas how conventions shall be made up then eongres may conceivably no only suggest changes. but ar range for their consideration II such manner that adoption woult be almost certain. Then the con gress, rather than tho indlvidua states. would say what changes shell be mado in the constitution.
 Very likely that is an cxtrem. view and suggestsFa danger whici exists only in very remote theory I However, 1t will be wise to keep ,fa away from even so remote n dan IEer. When congress has gaid, # f does, that given amendmen shall be ratified by convention rather than by legislatures it ha gone as for as 1t should. It is 10 the states themselves to say hoy those conventions shall be com
 posed. The states will do well t' cling tn that right and not to sur
 render it to the central govern
 ment.

MODERN APPLIANCE
FOR LOCAL BAKERY.
AUTOMATIC BREAD WRAP
PING AND SLICING MA
CHINE INSTALLED

A modern automatic wrapping
and slicing machine has recently
been added to the Maloney and
Peacock Bakery, S12 Fleming
street.
This is the most modern bakery
machinery to be found anywhere
and was installed by Henry H.
Luben of the Hayssen Manufac-
turing Co., of Sheboygan, Wiscon-
sin.
This machine handles from zoe
to 1900 loaves of bread an hour,
wrapped either single or double
and is capable of doing in one
hour, operated by one man, what
three men would take seven hours
to do by hand.
The new Hayssen slices. wraps
and seals the bread and turns the
loaves out ready for delivery. II
is operated by one man who mere.
ly feeds the bread to the slicel
and removes the packages from
the discharge conveyer of the
wrapping machine.
The Maloney brothers, operators
of the bakery, in adding this new
and costly machinery to their
plant, are confident that business
is on the upward trend and are
optimistic concerning the future
of this city.
