The Wrigley Company job insurance plan is sure to be studied by every large industry and business in this nation. So much stress has been laid on the necessity for such scheme as this of recent months that even national legislation was consid- ered However, we're inclined to think that the voluntary efforts of the Wrlgley firm and others will prove of far more as- sistance than any law ever could. It will be voluntary and not compulsory efforts that make possible job insurance. The Wrigley plan embraces a contract insur- ing some return to the worker in case he is laid off It will be based on his years of service and the amount of money being earned.

Representative William I. Sirovich of New York has taken up the cause of Alas. ka. He believes that Uncle Sam should fortify the Aleutian Islands as the first step to prevent invasion of this country and Canada from Asia or Japan. This follows closely the recommendation of Del egate Anthony Dimond of Alaska who pointed out recently to Congress that Alaska is separated from it's mother country by too many miles to permit a defense should an attack come via the Aleutian Islands. While we don't care for any war talk, we do not think that our country should overlook an opportunity to protect itself from invasion. Alaska hasn't solitary defense Its delegate asked for training base, both air and naval. Now Representative Sirovich calls attention to Qualifications for the Aleu- tians which are at the mercy of any in- vader, despite all treaties.

Today is the first of the two Friday the 18th catastrophies to be our fate in 1884. The next comes in July. If it proves no worse than Aprirs we won't have to worry. Time was when Friday the 18th provided all sorts of happenings for the press Today it's hard to get anything but the ordinary run of events. You'll even find men and women walking under a ladder without taking the precaution of throwing salt over their left shoulder or searching out hump-backed individual to touch.

An Income Tax Revelation

One of the most ominous signs about the New Deal is one that so far has gone almost unnoticed = little disclosure made in compilation of the most recent income tax statistics. These statistics show that whereas corporation taxes are up almost 50 per cent over last year, col lections from persons taxed on incomes ot less than $5,000 a year have shown an actual decrease.
 At the same time, taxes collected from persons earning more than $5,OO0 year rose sharply, along with the corporation taxes. All this shows growing concen- tration of wealth in the hands of the mid dle and upper income groups, and de- cline in the position of the ordinary, middle-class citizen. It's tendency, one would suppose, which thew deal' ought to view with a good deal of concern.
 "An old guard democratic leader from New Britain who is aligned with the Spellacy forces in state politics is author ity for the report that a definite move ment is under way to give the guber- material nomination to Mayor T. Frank Hayes of Waterbury. He states that Governor Cross will not be permitted by that faction to run again, but that he will be supported for the United States sen- atorial nomination, if he wants that place on the ticket Dr Edward c. Dolan, how ever, in an address in West Hartford. expressed the belief that the governor would seek third term. Other new guard leaders are predicting-that not only will the governor head the ticket again, but that no group will dare to challenge his right to a third term. These conflict ing reports enliven the political picture and point to spirited developments in dem ocratic circles up to the moment when the ticket is named at the convention. ." - Hartford Times. All of which makes interesting reading, but does it really re- fleet more than merely passing rumor? Our personal opinion would be that if Governor Cross does run for office this fall it will only be for the position he now holds and certainly not the U. s. Senate, which is sort of being reserved for the the up-and-coming congressman from Meriden, Representative Francis I. Maloney.

losing my energy and finally got

My suffering had been going on
so long and I tried medicine after
medicine without any relief, but
finally I found Indo-Vin and it
proved to be what I had ALWAYS
needed and it has worked the
misery FROM MY SYSTEM. 1t has
put a complete stop to all the gas
misery and awful bloating spells I
used to have, and I am not afraid
to eat any more because my food
is digesting as good as it did when
was a child. 1t also gave me a
great appetite, I eat my meals with
a relish now, in fact, 1 don't know
when ever have eaten so heartily
and my meals agree with me and
no suffering afterward at all. I
never have the dizzy spells or sick
headaches like I used to. 1t simply
improved my WHOLE SYSTEM and

today protested the practice of is
suing duplicate license plates for au-
tomobiles. Mr.. Feeney made known
his views in a communication to
Frank Finney, state auto license
commissioner.
Mr.. Feeney said that the practice
is dangerous, since police author
tiles are notified of the original
theft of automobiles, and the issu-
ance of duplicate plates causes con-
fusion. Mr.. Feeney suggested that
when automobile license plates are
stolen. the bureau issue plates with
different numbers instead of dupli-
