The Nub Of The Matter

A socialist state senator, John NJ Taft,
of Bridgeport, claims that If special SEES
sion of the Legislature is not called until
November of this year the Bridgeport city
administration will be embarrassed. The
administration is socialist. Senator Taft
puts it in these words: "In my opinion
if the governor waits until November be-
fore calling the session delay will be for
the purpose of embarrassing the Socialist
City Administration of Bridgeport. ="
Then the converse must be true if Cover
nor Cross should call such session and 1t
would be obvious that this session IS
merely to take care of Bridgeport and not
any of the remaining 1913 towns and cities
Legislative leaders are wandering aim
lessly now that there is some thought be-
ing given to a special session AS wit
ness we quote what republican State
Senator J. Kenneth Bradley of Westport
had to say this week. II would be in
favor of special session of the Legislature
if there was a certainty of an agreement
among the three political parties on the
program to be considered. Without such
an agreement a special session would be
futile and might be continued indetl-
nitely. -"
But Senator Bradley would like special
session to consider three issues that were
voiced by John ]. Egan of Bridgeport,
Secretary of the Connecticut Federation OF
Labor, in a recent letter to Governor
Cross. Mr.. Egan urged: l - the enact
ment of unemployment insurance legis-
lation; - the enactment of measures
that will bring relief to the communities
of the state; 8 - a program to raise
sufficient money to construct state instl-
tutions that are very much needed now
All three proposals have been before our
Legislature and met with failure.
The Legislature could have provided for
passage of the national social security BILL
but it failed to do so. Now the state
won't get any federal aid in paying out
old age pensions, because of failure to
provide an agency that could handle fed
eral disbursements. The Legislature twice
foiled efforts to pass sales tax and we
still find no reason to believe this was
mistake. It wasn't the only means by
which state aid could be given to the indi-
vidual towns seeking it. AS for the state
institutions they have been tossed from
pillar to post for so many years that we
no longer hold any hopes for them. At
least we don't while our deficit is mount
ing and new sources of income, liquor and
cigarettes,fi are evidently mot being con-
sidered as q means towards institutional
expansion. The first thought in giving
aid, economy in government was ignored
completely in the plan to find some new
and additional tax source so that more
millions could be raised. No wonder peo-
pie oppose special legislative sessions.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-08-17
Common Sense Forward

Perhaps the most significant single
comment on the new tax bill came from
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi.
Senator Harrison led the fight in the Sem
ate committee for the administration tax
schedules. When the committee moved
out from under him and began to broaden
the scope of the bill so as to bring in more
money than the administration had con-
templated, Senator Harrison struggled for
a while and then voted for the insurgents
plan.
As he did so, he dropped the remark
that eve might as well go out and get
some revenue" Here, at last, seems to be
q saving drop of common sense in the Pc
culiar mixture of high hopes and idealistlc
plans which has surrounded this tax bill
from the beginning.
eve might as well go out and get some
revenue" Yes, indeed - and why not?
What else would new tax bill be for, in
time when the governments expenditures
have been exceeding it's income for some
four years in a row? We were told
originally that this tax bill was to intro
duce new principle into American tax
alton. 1t was to attack the vast concen-
tration of wealth, with the ieda that they
would be scientifically reduced and shaved
down so that the world would once more
be made safe for the little fellows.
This was all very fine, and it was rather
hard to quarrel with it; but when the ad
ministration's program was presented to
Congress it appeared that the govern
ment's very pressing need for more money
to finance its extraordinary series of ex-
penditures had been lost in the shuttle.
There is room for more science in our
taxation policies heaven knows Taxa
ton represents the most effective weapon
by which government can shape the eco
nomic destinies of its country; yet for a
great many years our tax policy has been

Campaign" or driver" variety,
like the campaigns" against dead

months crusade against reckless

temporarily useful. AS soon as the
crusade was over bad driving
would reappear.
IF we are to employ law enforce
ment successfully as weapon
against automobile accidents 1t
must be as a permanent policy.
The law must be enforced strictly
and without facor, day in and day
out, year in and year out.

Stark Tragedy

Stark tragedy rode through the clouds
above northern Alaska late Thursday
afternoon Swooping suddenly it engulfed
the plane in which rode the beloved Will
Rogers and the idolized Wiley Post. Top
most in their professions today not merely
a nation but a world mourns for them.
Their names must be inscribed alongside
of other great men who have plunged from
the heavens to the earth in that last long
skyride Words to express such double
tragedy are meaningless.
1t would be hard to say just what was
the appeal of Will Rogers. But appeal
he had and by that we don't mean some
strange fascination. He may never have
been good cowpuncher nor lasso-tosser,
but he was rare humorist and philoso-
pher There were many who Knocked and
ridiculed him. It's always that way when
pretty level-headed, good judge of man.
kind and we'd find ready audience to
agree that most of the things to which
he put his hand turned out fairly well.
AS for our Number l air pilot, never did
a man take up flying with less practical
experience or the physical makeup nee
essary. Yet Wiley Post lived to do what
nobody else has ever done circle the
globe in seven days. He had done it with
Harold Gatty; he defied the elements
again alone and succeeded. Many were
his accomplishments in the air; much did
he contribute to the art and technique OF
flying. His rating as Number l in air
ranks was as deserved as any title ever
bestowed.
1t was ironic that Post and Rogers
should go together and in faraway Alaska,
almost at it's northermost tip. No one
will ever know the thoughts that went
through their minds as the ship nosed
into the ground and the engine of the
brank-new plane was driven back into the
cabin. But knowing Rogers and Post in
life, we know that in death they met the
call bravely. If the return of their
bodies to their respective homes is not
accompanied by general hush over the
length and breath of this land, cessa'
ton of all chickering's and complainings,
we feel their memories will be insulted

HARTFORD TIMES

one encounters a state policeman
on the roads but rarely.
Possibly some of the money we
expend in maintaining militia units
beyond the states quota in con-
temptation of possible war, might
better be spent in road patrolling
to preserve lives in a war which
actually is here.
The last legislature provided for
an increase in the number of state
policemen. State police heads say
that this additional force cannot
be prepared for service short of
three to six months. BY that time
the touring season will lbe over and
thenew force will have to wait six
months longer before 1t can be
really useful.

Az to increasing the sense of
individual driver responsibility, we
may without lack of rnodesty point
to plan devised by the business
manager of this newspaper. The
Times has safety council, created
to decrease the number of acci-
dents within its plant. 1t has been
strictly successful. What more
natural than that men schooled in
the avoidance Of industrial acci-
dents should pledge themselves, as
individual drivers, to avoid acci-
dents on the highway?
Hundreds, perhaps thousands
of industrial and commercial eS-
Establishments have similar safety
councils. No doubt decrease in ac-
cidents has r'sulted. The existence
of thes councils offers a convenient
way of directly reaching thousands
of men who may be formed into
a league 70 rhighway safety.
Behind 1t all, however, Is the
necessity fir strict law enforcement.
Men are reckless and careless be-
cause they never have been taught
to respect or fear the law. Only
occasionally is some one caught.

forced. They should be here and

He favors suspension of unsafe drivers

General Sanford H. Wadhams of the
Connecticut State Water Commission was
an important figure at the meeting of the
Tri-State Anti-Pollution Commission in
New York Thursday. Joseph P. Day OF
New York, Colonel J. Lester Eisner OF
New Jersey, and General Wadhams are
co-chairmen of the commission. The Con-
necticut man was also numbered among
the speakers at the New York session. The
ultimate purpose lis to clean up those wat
ers of the Sound adjacent to the three
states of Connecticut, New York, and New
Jersey, but centering in and around New
York harbor. This is task that has long
been considered. We sincerely hope that
actual work can be undertaken soon, as
all the talking and planning will be of no
avail, if action is not forthcoming. It's
the same with our inland waters We
know they are polluted; we plan to clean
them up, yet nothing is done on state
wide scale only in individual instances.
