Highway Legislation

A survey of legislation in 1885 shows that 5000 bills pertaining in some way to automobile operation and highways were introduced in the state legislatures Of these, 1,200 became laws. The report states that 1885 was not an abnormal year in this respect. Cars and highways are favorite legislative subjects. Many of the new laws deal with safety, carrier regulation, gasoline taxes, general in- creases in automotive taxes and the use of the proceeds of gas taxes. It is report cd, with some concern, that "more and more of the road-tax dollar is being di- verted every year to other than road-tax purposes"
 It was natural for lawmakers and pulp lie officials, desperately needing money for relief and for the gaps left by other tax delinquencies, to turn to the appar- ently inexhaustible stream of gasoline tax money. A good thing can be over- worked. There are signs now that the gas tax has gone as high in some places as the public will stand, and neglected highways are showing need of attention. The gasoline tax, kept within reasonable limits, seems almost painless and piles up good-sized funds easily. But care should be taken not to abuse it.

Down Under

The Australians are forming a new race, according to a Hindu lecturer named Jinirajadasa from Madras. "The sixth sub-race of Aryans," he calls it-a designation that should interest the rul- ing powers of Germany.
 It is an interesting characterization that he gives. He sees Australia build ing up "a race of hatchet-faced men lov- ing the open air." antipodeans with the reasoning power of Englishmen, plus the intuition that Americans call a "hunch".
 This seems to describe the Australians pretty much as Americans have found them. We have thought of them aS sur- prisingly like ourselves like us, in fact, than like their English ancestry. Our soldiers and theirs got along wonder fully in the World War. We ought to know each other better.

On the Right Track

The Parent Teachers Association is about the only one that we know of which continues it's drive against demoralizing radio programs, particularly those 1n- tended for juvenile listeners. More than year ago it started campaign against the horde of programs that were clutter ing up the air waves in the late afternoon with all sorts of stirring and blood-curd- ling adventures Some of them, we re- gret to say, are still being continued, evidently with considerable success to the sponsor. Others have been dropped, we hope from pressure brought to bear.
 Now the recent National Congress of Parents and Teachers turned it's atten- tion to "false advertising statements on the air". Here is fertile field. There is much room for improvement in the ad- vertising blurbs to which we have become accustomed to listen in our radio pro- grams. A goodly proportion of the ad- vertising matter that is dished up for the delectation of millions of listeners is just so much bilge-Water A lot of it is good and is put across in flrst-claSs style. Un- fortunately this group is minority.
 We recommend to some such agency as the Parent-TeacherS Association the arduous task of separating the wheat from the chaff in this radio advertising business. It went to the trouble of lining up the various radio programs in classi- fications, according to appeal and to the amount of terror and horror produced in juvenile and adolescent minds. It did not go for naught. We think it was gen timely appreciated and that it did some good. The same would be true of drive on misleading advertisers.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-15

The picture in last nights Democrat of the city's dog pound with group of ca hines awaiting execution is one to cause considerable sorrow. It is shame that the city has to pick up so many stray dogs, good many of them fine-looking animals, too. But it is far better to do this than to permit them to roam around the city at large In time they would be- come menace. However, many of the dogs have simply been cast adrift by un- grateful owners and it is against them that we direct our scorn and criticism. No animal deserves this fate, be it dog or cat. Any person who assumes the re- sponsibility for owning dog should re- tain it, not cast it aside.

According to Wilton E. Britton, state entomologist, the peak of the tent cater pillar invasion has been reached in Connecticut. There should be decline from this time on. In fact MT. Britton thinks that the number of tents visible right now is much less than that a year ago. He may be right, but just judging by the number around Waterbury there seems to be as many worms as last year. He states that these caterpillars come in ten year stages. He figures that by now parasites are beginning to make away with more worms than are being bred in a season, which will explain any decline noted. He also believes that tent cater pillars aren't causing as much damage as the gypsy moth or the Dutch elm dis ease. That may be true; undoubtedly it is, but people do more shuddering over the tent caterpillars because they are so repulsive looking and disfigure land- scape so completely.

A Thought for Today
Confidence Reigns

Regardless of the outcome of the con- test over the election of national com mitteeman at the democratic state con- vention tomorrow, there is something III the air that makes most democrats con- slider this session as one preliminary to another victory year for the state party. It was noticeable week or so ago at the Farley testimonial dinner in Hartford; 1t is still diScernible as delegates gather Ill New Haven today to hear their keynote speaker, U. s. Attorney General Homer 5. Cummings, tonight and to elect their na- tional delegates tomorrow.
 Never in recent years has the party been in better pre-convention and pre- campaign condition to make a showing before the voters. Never have the voters seemed more disposed to regard the democratic party with kindly eye, at the same time glancing coldly in the di- ny part about this is that three or four months ago casual observers wouldn't have given plug-cent for the outcome Of the democratic party in Connecticut 1n 1886.
 That the convention tonight and to- morrow will result in a clariflcation Of any issues and unification of all forces can't be doubted for one instant. We look to this gathering to kindle the y1c- tory candle. No doubt the Honorable At torney General of the United States will do much to aid in this action by his ad- dress tonight. We feel sure that he will at least move the gathered delegates and radio listeners, which is something the ex-senator from onnecticut-Hiram A. Bingham-failed to do last week at the g.o.p. convention in Hartford.

 It was all set for passage when suddenly Senator Royal s. Cope land claimed that the bill was personally obnoxious" to him. In keeping with unwritten senate law, the New Yorok senator's wishes were deferred to and the measure was tossed in the waste basket.
 Not many remembered 1t, but last year Copeland introduced & similar bill. And that was why this new bill was personally ob- ,noxious". It involved New York patronage and Jim Farley had not consulted him.
 But several hours after the carnation- wearing New Yorker had scuttled the bill, Chief Jus tice Hughes made speech be- fore the American Law Institute, which he spoke of the urgent need of relieving congested court call endars.

And while on this topic we'd like to say a word for automobile drivers to hear. Too many motorists are responsible for the deaths of all kinds of animals along the highways. Perhaps majority of them are unavoidable, particularly those that occur at night. But there is a small percentage of operators who delight in running down any animal running across the road. After all even the skunk or snake has some place in this world. If they didn't the Lord wouldn't have ere ated them.
