From One Job to Another

< With all due respect to the gentlemen in question it does seem as if some of our democratic officials in Connecticut are , grabbing off more than their fair share of the spells. Just deposed from his job of Internal Revenue Collector Dr Edward < c. Dolan of Manchester now looms as candidate for the democratic nomination of U. s. Senator. Our National Commit teeman Archibald McNeil is hailed as the { next secretary of the democratic nationa! committee. In view of democratic criti- cism of past years of republicans who wanted dual honors such actions don't speak so we'll for themselves.
 { There is no reason in the whole wide world why Dr Dolan should not seek the senatorial nomination. He was mentioned as a potential candidate even before the Senate had refused to confirm his nomi- nation as Inernal Revenue Collector. In fact, we commented on the irony of the situation in that democrat was seeking to be elected to the very body which was preparing to take away from him fed. eral job he held by virtue of presidential recess appointment
 Those democrats who criticize Senator Lonergan for his action in opposing var ious federal appointments lose sight of the fact that he asked one favor and was re- fused, yet it is nothing that two or three positions be placed at the disposal of oth. CTS in the state. It's hardly fair to expect 7 the first democratic United States Sena- tor we've had since the Civil War to be showed to the background in the matter of patronage disposal, while others profit at his expense. There's got to be show. down in Connecticut one of these days. It takes plenty of votes to elect democratic officials in this state, Keep that thought always in mind.

Sweeping Reforms

We don't know whether Governor Will bur L. Cross has some idea of the form that the taxation reforms to be suggested by the special tax survey commission Will take, but at any rate last week speaking at Norwalk he said even reorganization {, of the state government may follow in the wake of the recommendations. His exact words were By 1885 the state of Con- necticut will be in the soup for S14,OO0,- 900. Public opinion is now for reorgan- ization of the state government on more coherent plan and we are going to give this plan to the citizens. ..."
 It will not be unwelcome, we can assure the governor of that. It is high time that this government of ours was overhauled and the weak links replaced with stronger ones. Our chain of government is entirc- ly too long. We could well eliminate many links that are useless at the present time. It is quite apparent to all government re- formers that the trouble with the United States in the main is too much government. We pay entirely too much for what we get in return. Oftentimes we pay twice for the selfsame service.
 Right here in Connecticut there are plenty of things that could be done to increase the efficiency of the government without adding to the cost. It is high time that we began to think in terms of lower taxes. And to accomplish lower taxes we've got to fool around with our numerous government subdivisions. The state, the county, the city or town, the tax, school fire, water or improvement district may have a distinct place in our political life, but when they overlap as they do today something must give way. Right now it is the struggling taxpayer. His relief should be our primary thought.

Magma Carta

American law goes back to English law, and English law goes back to Magma Carta, the Great Charter" wrested by the nobles from King John in June, 1915 A. D. Americans, therefore, have been interested in reading of big historical pageant recently held on the famous old meadow of Runnymede, celebrating par ticularly the signing of the charter. Any American could have participated suitably in that ceremony. All Americans are in- terested in recalling and cherishing the principles flowing to us from that source
 The ones particularly appealing to us are these: "To none will we sell, to none will we deny, to none will we delay, right and justice.
 'No man shall be seized or imprisoned or dispossessed or outlawed or in any way destroyed; nor will we condemn him, nor will we commit him to prison, except by the legal judgment of his peers, or by the laws of the land" These Anglo-Saxon defenses of human liberty, with others of fundamental importance, have been enl- bodied in our own Constitution, particu. larly in the first 10 amendments, popu- larly called the "Bill of Rights" At time when so many civilized nations are turn. .ng their backs on the old safeguards of kuman liberty so laboriously erected in the last TOO years. they are well worth re. kaadfvU

France is being urged both on this side of the Atlantic as well as the other to pay off some of her war dabts to the United States in produce. Gabriel Hanotaux, Foreign Minister in 1896, in recent speech suggested that France pay Uncle Sam in wines He said in part, There is only one solution. France should pay in nature with Bordeau, Burgundies, and champagnes." It is q question whether the federal government cares to go in the liquor business to this extent. If we did receive vast quantities of French wines 1t would mean that the government would have to sell them to private dealers to get rid of them to the buying public How. ever, it's one way of settling a debt. In the old days when man couldn't pay the money he owed in actual cash he often did 1t in services or through exchange of merchandise.
