The Purpose Behind It

If the recent speech of General Hugh 5. Johnson was well-planned scheme to cause both Huey Long and the Rev Charles E. Coughlin to go on rampage and air their views on diverse subjects through the medium of radio broadcast, it succeeded admirably in it's purpose. However, in the latter instance we don't know whether or not the General got more than he bargained for. In public opinion he came off second best, thus proving con clusively that it pays to give deliberatlon to weighty matter like making radio reply to critic of the Coughlin prlncl- pies.
 We still reiterate that the senator from Louisiana failed to live up to all eXpecta- tions in his retort supreme to the hery general. We presume this may evoke further remonstrance from our forum commentator of last night. We stick to our guns, though, and in the same breath proclaim the fact that Father Coughlin's stock has risen many, many points by his masterful declaration of Monday night. It is not our purpose to hurl extravagant praise at him tonight. We merely wish to continue what we started to say last night.
 Now that Father Coughlin has disposed of the general, for whom we, too, retain the kindly feeling the good book tells US to cherish for our neighbor, we trust that he will proceed apace with his plans for deliverance of the peoples of this nation from the scourge that has been theirs since the moneyed interests started their campaign to control the government. It was never intended that a mans earning powers be clipped by any handmade die tates. Nor was it ordained that to the wealthy went inalienable rights, such as those to make, issue or control currency.
 We have expressed ourselves on such Utopian schemes as those advanced by Louisiana's kfngfsh. His appeal for mob authority is vested in a promise to give those now without them, $2,50O incomes. No man should do that unless he plans to make himself virtual dictator of the coin of the realm for to assure every man m the United States of this income would require dictatorship and actual control of the printing presses in the Mint Social justice goes beyond any such assurance as this, if we understand it correctly. It sets up rigid rules in which are preserved such time-honored ones as the laborer is worthy of his hire; the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness is the right of every man. If this be emotionalism make the most of it.

Cut Elm In Half

The hearing before the motor vehicle committee of the General Assembly yes terday afternoon brought to light the as- tonishing fact tn at in Connecticut motorists pay from $4 to $9 more for their registrations than in any other New Eng land states, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania Probably if the survey was extended further it would include a good enough for starter. It's high time Con- necticut got down to earth.
 It may we'll be argued that Connecticut for the vast amount of revenue that she receives in registrations, operators It. censes, and gasoline tax gives full measure in return. No one denies that. We have in Connecticut fine system of highways. They are well patrolled. But so are those in other states. Of course we know that in many other states, where the registra- tions are lower than ours, the gas taxes are higher. And in some of the states mentioned above bonds have been floated to finance highway construction.
 We still maintain that rates are too high in Connecticut and that favorable action on the bill of Rep. John D. Thoms should be taken. It's a step in the right direction. Sooner or later all government agencies must realize that the boom days are gone forever. With them must go special gov ernmental services and agencies. We must reduce our governments to their simplest forms without destroying the efficiency one bit. It can be done. It simply needs a bit of a push. Here's one way to begin the push. Gently but firmly drop those regis tration fees.

Uniform State Laws

A movement toward uniformity in laws of the states has been gaining strength lately. Bar associations and other organ izations have long urged countrywide codi- fication of laws on criminal procedure, taxation, domestic relations and liquor control A survey of 40 current legisla- tive sessions brings out the fact that more ground toward such reform has been cov cred in the past 30 days than in any other whole year.
 In 30 state legislatures certain crimi- nal code reforms are up for debate and are expected to become law in IS states this year. Uniform laws regulating ma chine guns are on the legislative program in number of states So is uniform firearms act, which has been adopted by eight states since 1880. Extradition laws and narcotics laws, adopted already in few states are being considered in others.
 In the field of taxation there is much work to be done to iron out 323 conflicts existing between state and federal sta tutes and among the 48 states them- selves. States are being asked to give up their tobacco taxes, while the federal gov- ernment is asked to give up it's gasoline taxes. All of this indicates new spirit of cooperation among states in legislation which needs to be uniform to be effective It is hopeful evidence of growing intelli- gence in law-making
