RUM MEN WARNED
AGAINST GIFTS
Retailers Given Until April
10 to Dispose of Signs
and Loans.

Retail liquor dealers today we're
given until April 10 to dispose of any
signs, loans or gifts advanced to them
by wholesale distributors or manufac-
turers. or face prosecution for violat-
ing the alcoholic beverage control act.
A warning to all retail license hold
ers was sent out today. A similar
warning to wholesalers against max
ing loans to their customers was given
about a week ago.
Law Violation Seen.
George w. Offutt, chairman of the
A. B. G. Board, said that such gifts
or loans are in violation of the law
and warned that licenses may be re-
voked for such offenses. He also said
that such property now in the hands
of retail dealers cannot now be sold
to them.
Offutt pointed out that electric
signs, boxes, furniture and so forth
had been supplied retailers without
cost by both wholesalers and manu-
facturers.
."All of these violate every purpose
of the alcoholic beverage control act, 4"
his warning stated, land will most
surely result in the revocation of the
license Of every licensee found guilty
of such violations.
IF you have any signs, or property
of any kind in your establishment,
loaned or given by a manufacturer or
wholesaler. or sold at less than its fair
market value, you are warned to have
the same removed from your premises
on or before Wednesday, April 10,
1885. as after this time the board in
tends to prosecute each and every
licensee who after the date of this
letter has violated the act in this
wise. or who, having heretofore thus
violated the act. has failed to have
such property removed A sale of such
property to the licensee will not be
permitted"
Cash Gifts Reported.
offutt's statement also said that
some of the cases already investigated
indicate that retailers have accepted
cash gifts in the shape of rebates and
that in some other cases solicitors have
made small purchases, given a bill to
the dealer and told him to keep the
change.
Another class of cases include those
in which the licensee and the manu-
facturer or wholesaler have con-
tributed to the cost of advertising.

But Orsinger gives the practical
jokers a play. although it means he
will be slave to the telephone all

He kids the victims along and
breaks the news to them gently, then
invites them to make a personal call
on "Mr. Pike" or Mrs. Guppy" OF
just plain "Mr. Fish," as the case
may be.
Out at the Zoo the telephones in
the lion, reptile and bird houses have
been disconnected, for the keepers are
busy men and great tide of calls
pours in every year-too many to
answer and at the same time get
their work done.
No nice joke. this. to play on

WASHINGTON COUPLE INJURED.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-06-25

Business men of Waterbury and In New England generally were to. day urged by the New England Traffic League of which F. w Brown, tho traffic manager of the Chase Companies, Is president, to register with representatives ir Congress their opposition to H.R 3263 introduced by Representative Pettingill, which proposes Q virtual repeal of tho long and short haul clause of tho Interstate Commerce Act. This is the clause which pro- hibits the railroads, except upon expross permission by the Inter- state c m In erce Commission, granted only under special circum- stances, from establishing q lower rate for longer haul than for a shorter one when both are on the same line or route. Occasionally, for one reason or another, such as competition from q steamship line or because route between two desirable shipping points is quite circuitouS, tho commission will grant this permission. However, specific application must be made by the involved carriers in each ease. MT. Brown pointed out that H.R. 32g3 seeks to entirely remove the prohibition and added that other bills, such as H.R. 361o, ana H.R. 5362, seek to modify It iil such Q manner as to ronder It practically innocuous.

The best laid plans of mice and men Oft go haywire when it rains, With much weeping and gnashing ot teeth For all your work and pains. Take bahd of picnickers
 Off for Sunday outing, Tons of food of every kind, Are they merry? you're shouting. White 1eecy clouds change to black, The sun disappears altogether, Much scurrying, repacking, and all that, And plenty of cussing the weather. Then there's the outing on the lake, How you planned on that day Or the lawn party so much in vogue, Did it rain? well say! It doesn't pay to count too much On the weather which does you dirt; Take things calmly as they come And then you'll never be hurt. Oh, the best laid plans of mice and men Oft go haywire, by heck It's bound to clear off just the wrong day And aint that pain in the neck!

Reform, Not Revolution

That group Is the most active and influential in the New Deal. Outside of Washington, you don't hear much about 1t. It's members have avoided the limelight because they realize that the publicity-seek- ing prima donnas of this admin istration havo been killed off one by one.
 The F'rankfurter-Bran boys are far from the most radical of the New Dealers. Their theory Is that reform of the capitalist sys- tenn with a breakup, of concentra- tions of wealth and economic pow er--which inevitably become eita- dels of political power and exploi- tation--is essential to save the na- ton from fascism or socialism. Des- perately, they fight the theory that such concentrations are inevitable and that they inevitably must be taken over by the state.

 Democrat Washington x. Correspondent

Washington, June 25---President Roosevelt has been converted to the school of thought which says "blgness" is Q curse. Tn. effect, he has publicly announced his con! version.
 Don't mind if I harp on the sig. niiicance of this development. It means as much or more than any other high spot in the presidents course in this election year.
 "Size begets monopoly" said Roosevelt. ultimately, we should seek, through taxation, the simpliflcation of our corporate structures through the elimination of unnecessary holding companies in all lines of business :"
 This, plus the proposal to tax corporations in accordance with the size of their incomes and to tax intercorporate dividends, demon strates the extent to which Roose- welt has been won over to the doc- trines of pr. Felix Frankfurther and Justice Brandeis and the group of their followers who now hold many key New Deal posts.
