EDITORIAL

A Washington despatch brings the
news that Senator William E. Borah
told the Senate that repeal of the 18th
Anne ndment had failed to curb bootleg
ging and that dealers in ilici, beverage
were debating laws with respec: to Ii.
Quor taxes.
1t is reported that owing to tie high
liquor taxes in the United States the
hooteggers can undersell the legal liquor
dealers by wide margin. In con Sc
quence of this unexpected situation it Is
costing the American Government much
more than had been contemplated for
the suppression of illicit trade In liquor.
St. Thomas has enacted new liquor Ie-
gislation and even there 1t is said. boot
leg liquor has splendid chance against
the high priced liquor.
st, Croix is on the verge of enacting
new legislation to control the manufac.
ture and distribution of alcoholic beve-
rages. Most of the liquor imported here
is of foreign origin. To the cost is ad.
ded the import duty and proportionate
part of the dealers license fee. both OF
which items of expense do not bother
the bootlegger. Those who are operating
within the law can not compete with
those who are not but, while no one an
ticipates perfect obedience to the laws
excessive taxes would force liquor pri-
ces so high that the consumer would
be encouraged to obtain his liquor
through the bootlegger and thus deprive
the municipality of the mucn needed re-
venues.
The Colonial Council ought to take
cognizance of these facts and let the ex-
perience of others help to guide that
body in the framing of its liquor laws.

Plan Up to Congress.
There Is no more reason against
the adoption Of unemployment insur-
snce than Of Life insurance. I con-
cede that one Is private in q measure,
while the other Is somewhat public.
But inasmuch as the public Is now
and is always called upon In some
form to support those who are unable
to support themselves. 1t seems to me
the duty of Congress to work out
an equitable plan by which those who
are forced into involuntary unemploy-
ment shall have some guaranty against
want during the period Of unemploy-
ment.
AL elements of society would have
to contribute to the payments or bene-
fits provided by such q system. But

whether some useful and permanent
program of work and employment shall
be inaugurated.
Facing Condition, Not Theory.
Frankly, 1t seems to me that as be-
tween the two forms Of relief, that
which embodies the employment OF
men IN work that will add to the
permanent wealth Of the Nation, and
at the same time make those who are
receiving it feel that they are earning
the money which they receive, Is
Infinitely to be preferred.
The character of such a work pro-
gram will have to be elaborated In the
future. We all would be happy If we
could feel that within the next few
months private employment could and
would absorb the total number Of the
unemployed, and thus relieve the Gov
ernment and the taxpayers Of the
burden Of public relief in any form.
But we are facing q candition and

private industry win in the near future
materially increase It's absorption Of
unemployment. But for the coming
Winter we may as well understand
that we must continue to help the
helpless out Of the public treasury.
But sincerely hope for and believe
that Congress would welcome q plan
that would transform q gift Of grant
without work into a payment for work
in the permanent improvement Of our
country.
In this connection Congress will
without question be called upon to
deal with unemployment insurance.
Other nations have faced this matter
and have over long period Of years
provided for 1t. I do not contend that
their systems would suit our institu-

A View Of the Codes

"A view OF the OOueS
The impression is gaining sup
port that neither the National
Recovery Act nor the system of
codes that have been made ef-
fective in carrying out its plans
have aided in the process of re-
covery nor in increasing employ
ment.
The repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment and the impetus in
the beer and liquor industries,
the vast expenditures of Federal
funds in relief and other direc-
tionS, the need for normal re-
placements in commodities and
repair of capital investments
have played a much more effec-
tive part.
Realization of the fact is be-
coming evident that without the
NRA and the codes the proc
esSeS of recovery would have
been greater than they have
been. The application of codes
and the interference with bust.
ness, the RECOMMENDATION of hui
man beings, have in the main
created resentment, not coopera-
ton.
Because classification must
be general and limited in num-
ber, they cannot be fair. The
same regulations cannot fairly
apply to slow and fast, strong
and weak. white and colored
workers, nor can they equitably
apply to so-called low price or
cheap merchandise and at the
same time to more skilfully
made and higher priced mer-
chandiSe.
Codes in some industries are
not enforced with the same de-
gree of effort as in others. AS
in every unpopular public regu-
1ation. there will be favoritiSm
growing out of either friend
ship or influence, perhaps even
bribery.
The overlapping of different
codes has caused endless confu-
sion and annoyance.
The spying of one manufac-
turer upon his competitor and
giving the information secretly
is a by-product that has been
encouraged.
Efficient workers are handi-
capped in favor of the ineffici-
ent.
The constant interference and
petty annoyances in regimenta-
ton discourage employers from
normal expansion or attempt at
new ventures, which in itself re-
tards and reduces employment.
NRA, with its minimum
wages and shorter hours, has
operated to the disadvantage
of the smaller business man.
In thousands of stores and
manufacturing plants four per-
sons now do the work formerly
done by five (in many in
stances two where three were
formerly employed, with the
resultant proportion joining the
ranks of the unemployed.
The operation of codes has
increased costs and conse-
quently decreased the amount
of manufactured goods ex-
ported.
Finally, the cost of this regu-
ton, which is tremendous, must
be borne by the ultimate con-
Sumer.
The whole scheme is in oppo-
Sition to the natural and free
course of industry, which after
all has for the past so years
made conditions in our coun-
try. both for employer and
employe, superior to those in
any other part of the world.
If in the past profits in cer-
tain industries have been ex-
ceSSive at the expense of the
employed or the public, such
conditions could be more simply
corrected by taxing excess

LAST WARNING ON CHRISTMAS MAIL
Matter for Foreign Lands Must Leave Early
 Next Week

Christmas mail going to foreign countries must be at the Wa terbury post at an early day next week if it is to reach the adressee in time for the holiday, it was stated today by Postmaster James T. Kelley. Last sailings from New York in time for delivery prior 70 Christmas in Europe take place the latter part of next week, and, with the holiday post office rush in progress, several days must be al- lowed for the mail to be gotton aboard ship from this city.
 Mail to distant parts of this country should also be at the post office by next week, also, the post master said. Mail to points not so distant should be in at the end of next week, to insure delivery for Christmas.
 Waterbury's office, according to Mir Kelley, is fully prepared to handle the hugely increased vol ume of mail expected during the next few weeks. At the height of the holiday rush extra employ es numbering 100 will be on special duty at the post office and along postal routes.
 With Christmas falling on Tues day, there will be no delivires nn Sunday, the 23rfd, or on Christi mas day itself, with the exception of special delivery letters and packages. Regular employees will have one of their few holidays on Christmas Day, with substitutes taking over most of the local postal work on that day.

CITY HALL ZONE
 TO BE RESERVED
West Side of Building to Be Used Strictly for
 Employees Cars

Motorists accustomed to park on the west side of the city hall learned this week that they will not be allowed to do so in the fu- ture, as the space is to be re- served entirely for city hall em- ployes and those holding other municipal positions.
 A policeman was stationed along the city hall driveway and on the circular driveway in the rear of the Silas Bronson library to warn mo- torists that the parking space was reserved and would not be open to the public. Those disregarding the warnings will be given tags by the police department.
 Police say that the ruling is nec- essary because of the fact that many drivers have made it a habit to leave their cars in the space all day long, particularly blaming workers in nearby offices for the situation which made it impossible for city hall employees to find space to park their machines.

 FOR PARK STAFF

WASHINGTON HILL.

Al Dobkins popular North End athlete and graduate of Washing. ton College has been named su- pervisor of recreation at the Wash ington Park Community House Dobkins replaces Henry Caring ton who was named a week ago. but just when Darlington was about to take over his new duties he was named basketball coach at the Gunnery Prep School.
 Dobkins started his new duties this week and already has a large class of both senior and junior members registered and has had them working out yesterday at the community house. Although ham dicapped due to the fact that there are no baskets for basket ball. nevertheless Dobkins had a ball on hand yesterday and gave the youngsters several tips on how to handle a basketball.
 D6bkins attended Crosby High School and while at the blue and white institution starred in basket ball and football and after grad- uating from Crosby he entered Washington College where he also continued to shine both as a foot ball and basketball player.
 Cop Removed
 Harold Sheehan. supernumerary policeman, who has been doing duty at Washington Park since the early spring, has been removed and the reason for his removal is due to lack of funds to pay an officer during the winter months. This is the first winter that the Community House is open and the Washington Park Community Club feels that the city should furnish a cop at the Community House and is going to send delegation to the park department asking that Officer Sheehan be kept on duty at the park the year round. Last night more than 150 youngsters were gathered at the Community House and this no doubt was due to the cold snap that started yes- ter,iay morning and as the weather getp colder the attendance at the Community House is sure to in. crease and 1t is felt by a good many that a cop will be necessary to keep order at the club house.

POLICE RECEIVE
 TWO NEW SEDANS
One to Be Used By Vice Squad and the Other for
 Emergencies

Two early Christmas presents were delivered to police yesterday afternoon in the form of big, new sedans, though perhaps the con- trolier's office wouldn't call them presents when 1t comes time to nay for them. The cars were de- iiyered to the garage at headqua-- ters yesterday, ready for immediate service.
 One of the new machines will be used by the vice squad and the de- tective bureau, while the other will be kept at headquarters for emergency calls and for special trips. Tie new machines, 1t IS believed, will add further to tho efficiency of the motorized division of police department, for a com plete new set of police motor pa- trol cars was placed in service last spring.
