do with the widows and orphans of veterans whose deaths were not shown to be due to the war. The physical burden of the war was personally borne by the veterans whose deoths would be the occa- sion for payments to the widows and orphans sought to be protect ed by the legion's program. Ger tainly the principle advocate by the American Legion involving care for widows and orphans has been accepted by our beloved govern ment throughout the years. The director says seven widows of the war of 1912 still receive pensions. Does he insist that these aged widows should now be thrown on public charity?
 This letter Is written in order that you may know that the Amer ican Legion has restricted its re- quests for money payments to those living veterans who are ad- mittedly disabled by reason of their service.
 "The request for a small pay. ment to widows and orphans of veterans who died of non-servict disability was acquiesced in by ar overwhelming majority of tht House of Representatives when fl passed the Rankin Bill in 1892 That measure would have provided even greater payments to these widows and orphans than the Legion Is now roposing.
 Would 1t not be well that you consider whether the directors let let might mislead you as to Presi- dent RooseveIt's view? He states that the President refuses money for sickness or death not due to the war. Surely the director Is aware that the Presidential regula- tions signed March 31, 1893. pro. vide money payments for veterans whose diBa bilities are not shown to be connected dth their service and also provides pensions for widows whose husbands did moi die of service connected disability "The accusation that the Ameri. can Legion Is opposing the Presi' dent of the United States in theii own selfish interest Is an unjusti' i fled attack upon an organization which asks only that you acquain yourself with ...e truth before yol allow anyone to oondemn 1t.
 "Believing that our patriotism cannot be questioned, we legion
 naires submit that our program keeps in mind the best interest O our government and at the sam' time discharges our government

LAWLOR AND
 HACKETT TO RUN
(continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.)
 A drive is to be made, 1t is un. derstood, not only in Waterbury but elsewhere in the state. to change the makeup of the state senate in several instances. Other democratic and republican senators are facing battles in their rcspec- tive districts. Democratic leaders, however, will seek to maintain their lead of one in the senate while the republicans will strive to kill off the democratic majority, the first one fin many years.
 If Senator Frank Bergin is con- firm cd for United States district at- torney, he will be unable to run for the state senate again. Sem ator William L. Conley of Bridge port cannot run again if he wishes to maintain his position as counsel for the HOLC in the Park City. In other words, persons holding federal posts are not eligible to hold state legislative positions.
 Going down the list 1t Is unlike ly that Senator William Hagearty of New Britain will run again. He is now judge of the New Britain city court. Senator Ray Deylin is now jugde ofo the New Haven city court.
 Senator William 1T. Hackett oi New Haven is now state tax com. missioner. Of course 1t Is well known that Senator LawIor of thii city is now state athletic commis. sioner. Senator William J. FitE. gerald of Norwich is deputy labor com missioner but he Insisted on holding his post in the last session of the legislature despite his state office. Senator Edwin R. Dimocl of Holland county is now commis' sloner of domestic animals. These posts held by leading democratic senators of tho 1888 session, are likely to be subjected to change ir tho coming election, hence tht great amount of interest beinl shown throughout Connecticut.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
REVISING THE CODES

General Johnson's statement yesterday on the
workings of NRA was hardly calculated to encour-
age that freedom of criticism which he has invited
but it is plain nevertheless, that significant changes
in the operation of the codes are in the offing.
When the NRA program was projected and the
movement to organize industry under government
supervision was launched the belief was enter
tanned that once the codes were adopted there
would follow kind of self-government on the part
of the various industries This has not worked
out. In some directions good results have been
achieved. In other instances condition of rather
dangerous stalemate has been reached. No proved
method of extending control over certain activ-
ties has yet been evolved The confusion which
still exists in the cleaning and dyeing field IN spite
of the code is a case in point.
The effort of the NRA is to bring all business
to pattern and the fact that conditions vary Iii
different sections and in different communities
makes it no easy task to fit the country as whole
to the pattern as Washington designs it. There Is
powerful support for the code idea there has been
little open opposition to the program. The diff
Guilty has been to make the thing work acceptably
everywhere Where the NRA means increased en-
plovnlent and larger payrolls it has been applaud
ed Where it means larger earnings for industrial
concerns and business establishments it has been
warmly welcomed. The buying public has not been
eager in its support of the resulting rise in prices
however and those businesses which have had their
costs increased without betterment in their earn
ings have occupied attitude of at least passive
misunderstanding Citizen

TWO CoRPORALS

In 1904 Napoleon the First determined to be
emperor of France. He called for a vote OF the
people and more than 100000 votes were cast IN
his favor against less than 5000 IN opposition.
He invited Pope Plus VII to come to Paris to per-
form the coronation ceremony and the pope came.
Impatient of the delay in getting the crown upon
his head. Napoleon Snatched it from the pontltts
hands and crowned himself.
This was the general known to his soldiers as
'The Little Corporal who had come from Corsica
this year after it became French possession to
be educated at a French military school and to be
seoffed at by his fellow students. 1t was he who
saved Toulon for the Republicans and who, with
his artillery. put down the mobs in the streets OF
Paris. who took his armies across the Alps AMI
crushed Austrian and Italian power, who won at
Austerlitz and Jena, who carved the map OF Eu-
rope to suit his ambition who seated his brothers
and favorites on thrones and who, II years after
his coronation was defeated at Waterloo and died
in 1920 on the Island of ST. Helena, an exile from
France.
We read in the dispatches that Adolph Hitler
corpora in the Austrian army during the World
war now chancellor of Germany last Sunday be-
came practically emperor of that nation when more
than one million Nazis all men in authority, swore
personal obedience to him.
In Germany, Hitler is as strong as Napoleon was
in France. Outside the boundaries of his adopted
country he has not yet gained that power. Does
he hone to gain it? So far as 65,000,000 persons
in Germany are concerned ne make the effort

CAR TAGS

Editor The Times-News
Dear sir:
The price of state auto tags is
entirely too high and in many
cases prohibitive. Hundreds Of
cars are being operated today in
North Carolina that would not
sell for anything like the tag
price. Something radically wrong
here. If other states can do bet
ter Why not North Carolina?
Tag prices should be accord
ing to weight and age of car, the
present rate being about sixty
cents per hundred is at least
double what it should be. A
thirty cents per hundred rate
should be for new cars only and
then reduce the rate twenty-five
per cent annually until the price
rs lowered to $500 and that he
the tag price per year as long
as the car is in use. A law of
TINS kind would be a wonderful
relief to almost an army of peo-
pie and at the same time the
state would receive as mncb
money as at present. Think of
the cars standing today without
tags. 1t is only matter of dis
trihutmg certain tax over a
greater number of people.
Something must be done and
it is high time We are thinkino
about who will represent us in
the legislature of 1885.
Respectfully,
