Not Kicked Around

The Connecticut law authorizing sale of liquors and establishing various types of permittees isn't going to be kicked around after all A constitutional court has just decided that the package stores of the state can't sell after 6 D. m. nor can they offer merchandise in less than quart or fifth containers. Constitutional rights are not violated, declares the court, which consisted of Circuit Judge Martin T. Man. ton, and District Judges Edwin s. Thomas and Carroll c. Hincks.
 Furthermore, the right of the Legisla- ture to make laws regulating the sale of liquors and establishing different types of selling establishments cannot be said to be an encroachment upon the constitu- tional rights of anybody. Further court action is open to the package store own CTS of the state, but 1t is doubtful if they will adopt such tactics. Much will depend upon the state organization of the same recently affected.
 It was well that the constitutional court appealed to prosecutors not to bring ac- tion against any of the package store own CTS who, during the term of their court injunction, sold after 6 o'clock and in quantities less than fifths and quarts Not that we think that many prosecutors would bring action against the hundreds who seized the opportunity. But there might be some who would feel in duty bound to invoke the law for such viola tions
 We are gradually going to establish through the medium of our courts the thought that perhaps the Connecticut statutes on liquor sales are not as loosely drawn up as has been claimed. There ments required. They will be taken care of next year when the General Assembly meets. But we are ready to believe that the framework of the state law, as 1t now stands will not be broken down in favor of some other method of control

Washington, May is.--Generai Hugh Johnson is looking for . handy tree.
 He has caught n largo and ferooious bear by the tall, and like the proverbial huntsmnn, dasn't leave go, dasn't hold on.
 The service codes - barbers, beauty shops, hotels, taxis, etc. he has decided to abandon as impossible to enforce.
 The plan, however, is proving easier said than done.
 The transit industry--gtpee cars and busseg have bluntly told him that they will not stand for junking of the taxi code. And to prove they mean business they have backed up their warn. ing with two specific threats:
 1. if .tho taxi code ig dis. cardcd, the Transit Code Auth. orIty proposes to resign at once in n body.
 2. Following that step, the industry will air in the press certain items of NRA "dirty llnen," which 1t has reason to believe the general is not anxious to have exposed.
 These items consist of the fact that hanging fire within the MIRA arc number of non, ,com- plinneo charges against transit companies. No action has been taken on them for six months.
 Why there haS been no "crack- ing down" is n mystery The complaints have been shuffled from one division to another, ench apparently passing the buck.
 HOLD EVERYTHING
 Young Hepry Morgenthau was surprised one morning to read a columnists report that he was about to Do sent abroad ns am. bnssndor to France to make room for Barney" Baruch as secretary of the treasury.
 It wns news to him. And 50, apparently, was it to President Roosevelt.
 At any rate, about noon of the same day, the treasury chief got n little note on White House sta- ti0nery, which read;

 NO SURPRISE
 To insiders, there was nothing surprising in the student action of Oklnh0ma's inflati0nary Sen ator Elmer Thomas in offering an amendment to scuttle the presidents Truth -in- Securities" act.
 Progressive inflntioDists were amazed over this display of Toryism. But they didn't know their man.
 There isn't trace of rcnl liberalism in Thomas economic thinking. Ills iDflnti0n below ing is unndultcrntcd politics.
 Oklahoma hns always been M hot-bed of monetary pOpulism. More money crnnkS emerge from its boundaries than oil kings. Ciamor for monetary experiment tatoin pays good political divi. donda, and Elmer has his eyes on ihe main chance.

To prevent erosion of Jamestown Is- land, the site of the first permanent Eng fish settlement in this country, break water is to be built by the federal gov ernment This breakwater will practic- ally encircle the entire island which is now at the mercy of wind and tide. In fact, it is showing signs of being badly washed away at various points. Incident ally these plans are to be supplemented by complete survey of the island which might tend to reveal some traces of that early settlement which vanished so com pIetely and mysteriously in few short years.

It's too bad that Senator Carter Glass of Virginia Is as excitable as he is. We were sorry to read that he had resigned from the senate banking committee be- cause he was not included among those to act as conferees on the stock exchange bill. Senator Glass is a vetrean member of the Senate, intensely loyal to the best traditions and tencts of the democratic party. He is also the ranking member of the committee, although not it's chairman There was no intention to slight him, as Chairman Fletcher later explained, but others were named in the hope that the conferences might be rushed It is quite evident, though, that there is more behind the incident than has appeared in print. We sincerely hope that personal feelings won't disrupt the procedure of vitally important piece of legislation.

Republicans of the first congressional district seem more than anxious to run against Representative Herman Kopple- man this year. The latest to enter the field, according to Hartford reports, is Colonel Anson T. McCook, well known in veteran and legal circles. He was also executive secretary to Charles A. Temple ton during his governorship. Whether or not he will run remains to be seen.

The Meriden Journal thinks 1t is a mis- take to turn the task of collecting proper ty taxes on duly-regstered automobiles over to the State Motor Vehicle Depart ment. In an effort to prevent any owners lodging this tax Commissioner C0nn0r recently suggested that he be given the necessary legislative permission to levy this tax and thus relieve the cities and towns of additional work, not to mention making sure of the collection of all such taxes. As it stands today many auto owners escape such payments through several subterfuges If the motor vehicle department did the job 1t would mean that registration plates would be withheld from those who neglected to pay or deliberately avoided paying what they owede on their cars. The Journal says, Local officials are fortified with plenty of law to do their job if they really want to, as shown by property seizures and arrests in Water bury, and it is time that they got on to themselves and stopped whining to the state. ." Perfectly true, but even in this city where we did apply the pressure every automobile, legally subject to tax, isn't being paid on at the proper time

General Presentment
John T. Olsen, foreman of the
Grand Jury, and Ira F. Albury,
clerk, submitted the following
presentment to Honorable Jeffer-
son B. Browne, judge of the Cir
cult Court this afternoon at the
conclusion of their activities:
"The Grand Jury wishes as
general presentment to sax that
in obedience to the general IN
structiOns of the court it mas
made no general inquiry into the
body Of the county due to the fact
that this is a special term and not
a regular term.
eve have found two indict-
ments which have heretofore been
presented to the court. The Grand
Jury wishes to recommend to the
court and to other inferior courts
the investigation Of the practice
of perjury in the administration
of justice. In several instances
in our investigation it appears to
the Grand Jury that witnesses
have obviously periured them
selves and it has also been OBJ
served by members of the Grand
Jury in witnessing the trial Of
cases that at times the law against
perjury is violated without fear.
In order to preserve the in
tegrity of the courts and the adj
ministration of justice. the prop
III officials should take cOgnizance
of this practice and examples be
made of violatorS.
"The officers of this court have
been very courteous and efficient
in assisting the Grand Jury in it,
deiiberation, We therefore wish
to extend our thanks to these of
ficials."
