Some Action Ahead

The Legislature got two measures yes terday that promise to attract the attention of every motorist in this state. One, the offering of Senator William C. Hunger ford of Watertown, strikes at the growing tendency of operators of motor vehicles to use them as public service carriers. This is in direct violation of the present laws, but unfortunately it is something that cannot be openly detected. Very often q Burmise that such violation is being per- petrated leads to false arrest. But this does not prove that there are not frequent violations.
 We believe it is not the intention of the proponents of this measure, and we pre- sume the Motor Vehicle Department is vitally interested in it, to prosecute the man who takes his neighbors to work in his car and accepts some return from the latter for gasoline, oil, etc. If numbc: of men share the expense of operation in return for the daily ride to their place of employment, there is no just complaint. But if man solicits passengers, calls for them daily, and takes them to their place of employment, he must realize his car has become public service carrier and should be marked therefor.
 Still more concern will be manifested over the welfare of the bill proposed by Representative John D. Thoms of this city who desires sweeping probe of the auto liability insurance rates. We have com mented upon this before. We have ad- mitted that it might be we'll for such an examination into the rates, particularly in the Waterbury area which bears such a high rate. If the special commission of sixteen legislators, suggested by Repre- { sentative Thoms, seems bit bulky, per haps it could be decreased and more action secured.
 We still maintain, however, that the se- lection of the men to make the probe 'is important. This business of accusing reputable insurance companies of deliber- . ately raising rates in one place and lower ing them in another is serious. It may be true and probe may substantiate it. But until then we have to accept the as- sertion that Waterbury is a high accident area. This coupled with it's claim pay ments makes for rising rates, so we are told. Whatever may be the cause there is every reason to believe that legisla- tive survey may satisfy all concerned and also show means of bringing the rates down to a figure that would appeal to all motorists.

Two Against Franklin

The defeat of the World Court in the Senate yesterday marks up the second major defeat of the Roosevelt admins tration on foreign affairs. The first came with the rejection of the St Lawrence sea way treaty. Now overheard go all the fine things and the requests that the President said and made in the last few weeks as the fight on the Court loomed. Blame this latest downfall on two causes ---one from without the country, the other within.
 It is not presumptuous to say that the Rev Charles Coughlin mad great deal to do with the defeat of the World Court. He may not have persuaded many of our Senators to vote against it, but he cer- tainly did persuade about million apathetic American citizens that they should express an opinion on the Court. This they did by opposing it in letters and telegrams to their Senators at Washing ton. Had the crusading priest not warred for two successive Sundays on the World Court, we almost could imagine it being approved by the Senate. The stage was certainly set for just such an event. President Roosevelt had even arranged the setting himself.
 Another factor that may even have caused more Senators to join the perpetual opponents of the World Court was the subject of foreign debts. If Europe had even maintained sembIance of being in debted to the United States in recent years, there is no question but what we would have leaped at the chance to get into the World Court. You can certainly claim that defaulting nations did their share of estranging us. Add the two together and there wasn't much chance for the Court this time, even with the added weight of the President. And this time it looks like our swan song.

 is a rare thoroughfare to-day that does not get it's fair share of traffic, even :n the worst kind of winter weather.
 We have no bone to pick with the alder manic committee that selects annually certain streets on which coasting is legal. better. still permitted. These officials know their jobs and probably the streets, too. What we would like to see done in Waterbury is what many other cities have done, namely, establish places for sliding in our various parks if the physical out lines of the parks allow it. Certainly in Waterbury's various residential districts there must be land, too, that could be util- ized for this purpose.
 And if it is not found feasible to do something like this, then why not consider the idea of closing certain streets to mo- tor traffic, say for one or two hours each day. Proper blockades could be placed at the ends of the street or the head and fin ish of the slide. Down in New York every day there are stretches of crosstown thoroughfares reserved for children to play in. We might copy the idea. Of course that won't absolutely prevent every coasting accident, but it will certainly im- pose the entire duty of seeing to the child's welfare upon the parents or guardians.

Press Comment
CHEERFUL INCENTIVE
(Hartford Times)


 Although Connecticut has "pos- sibly the porest tax collection law of any state in the Union," the collection record is ''among the best" says State Tax Commission CT Hackett in his biennial report to the governor.
 One might readily philosophize about that phenomenon as show ing how unimportant is law us compared with the individual and collective will to do the right and necessary thing. Rather let ls take the practical view that, giv- cn the popular desire to keep municipal finances on an even keel, such a purpose may be helped by providing the right kind of legis- lation. Good collections under A bad law presumably would be cv- en better under good law. Na Actually, of course, tax collec- tions in Connecticut are not 70 good as to elicit paeans of praise, but in comparison with other states they rank high. In the land of the blind the man with one eye is king. There is room fer much improvement in this state. The current legislature is to be given ample opportunity to revise some important statutes pertain ing to assessment of property and the collection of tax. It will be to the benefit of the taxpayers that this municipal activity be placed on the sound basis which 1t de- l serves. !

The government intention of creating tree belts across our central states is go- ing to find expression this spring, ac- cording to all reports. The U. $. Forest Service expects to plant 150 miles of shel- ter belt in the drought areas at that time. There will be thirty planting areas in- cluded in the first planting divided among six states - North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. And nobody will begrudge every bit of effort or money that is spent in this un- dertaking. If it can lessen even the tin fest bit the suffering that has been caused in this section of the country in the last few years, it will be something we'll done. There will be 4,000,0OO trees planted. h. cidentally Charles Lathrop Pack, presi- dent of the American Tree Association, says there are even now in some sections of the drought areas many windbreaks, some of them 50 years old.

A Book a Day
An Unpleasant Pill for Extremists {
By BRUCE CAPTION

of all the administration offl- cials who pour forth a continual stream of books explaining what they are driving at down there in Washington, the president himself, Secretary Wallace, and Professor Tugwell appear to occupy the front rank. .5
 Now Professor Tugwell, back from trip to Europe in which he took part in the big interna- tional wheat conference in Rome, puts forth his latest contribution to the literature of the New Deal. It's called "J'he Battle for Democ- racy,' and 1t makes excellent read ing as works go on such compara- lively heavy subjects.
 Made up largely of public speeches and magazine articles, Professor Tugwell's book will dis l'please many readers.
 The extreme conservative will be displeased by Tugwell's blunt insistence that the New Deal must go, just as far as seems necessary toward setting up industrial de- mocracy that will match our poll tical democracy.
 That's too reminiscent of Sta | Iin's grim reply to the foreigner who nsked how long the blood letting and killing must go on in Russia. Stalin, said, "As long as seems Tiecessary!"
 So Tugwell appears to believe that the trend toward socialization must be continued "as far as seems necessary"
 Extreme radicals will be equal ly dfspleased. because Tugweli sets down no definite chart. writes no gospel, never says finally, This is so. This will be done. That's all there is to it." Radicals cotton only, to writers who claim they know all the answers. cut and dried. .@
 Tugwell doesn't claim that. Tn his Battle for Democracy" he makes 1t plain that he believes we should do what the best brains we can bring to bear on the pres ent situation indicate must be done now. And If we keep doing that, we'll be all right in the long run. All the books of the New Deal- CTS deserve U wider circulation than they're getting. After all, these men are steering the ship of state. What they write is the best guide to where we're going. And Tugwell Is one of the best explainers of how the course Is being charted and how the steer- ling is being done.
 "T'he Battle for Democracy" is [pubIished by the Columbia Uni- versity Press, and costs $3.

Washington, Jan. 30-There is an untold angle in the presi-- dents crackdown on the national labor relations board.
 Before he made public his letter directing the board to keep hands off labor disputes ln coded industries where special arbitration bodies exist--such as newspapers, automoblles, steer, textiles - Assistant President Don Richberg paid secret call on Chairman Francis Riddle ana hhs two colleagues.
 The purpose of his visit was to try to persuade them to issue the presidents communication in the form of self-imposed reg ulations. | 1f +,
 The three NLRB members were friendly, but unyiclding.
 If the president wanted such restrictions, they politely but firmly informed Richberg, he would have to promulgate them himself.
 Which he did, in substantially the same form Richberg showed them to the board.
 For Representative Lindsay Warren of North Carolina life is just one darn thing after an- other.
 Reason for his grief is the house of representatives restau- rant. As chairman of the house accounts committed, he has to keep a weather eye" oh It's food and upkeep.
 Last year his trouble was over the uest1on of admitting Negroes.
 This year 1t is the question Of pic.
 A lot of Lindsays colleagues came to his rescue when he took a stand against letting Negroes si. in the dining-rOom. but not one of them will step forward to defend his stand on pfc.
 Lindsay points out that the house restaurant always closes with a deficit. Congress pays for kitchen help. walters, china, lin- en, etc. Members pay only for the actual food they eat. So Lindsay thinks they should pay more and let him balance his books.
 So he has not only increased the cost of pie to fifteen cents, but hc has cut down It's size.
 RESULT: Cries of outraged indignation and boycott by many house office workers.

Thirteen states, New York being the last, have petitioned Congress to repeal the federal gasoline tax. We wonder if any of the thirteen doing this are con- templating continuing the gas tax thus repealed by adding it to their state tax. We can well understand the attitude of the thirteen petitioners. They probably have reasoned that the gas tax is properly state one Quite right and one that should not be abused, as good man3 states have already done. We believe in a small gasoline tax, such as Connecticut now levies. It should be used for highway expenditures and also for street improve ments, cities and towns getting their share of it.
