The Uplift In Ads

Your liquor advertisements of 1887 and future years may show tendency to- ward the aesthetic, but they won't feat ure such things as Santa Claus, Easter rabbits, George Washington cherry trees, glorious young women, handsome young ships officers or even aviators. If the National Association of State Liquor Ad- ministrators can bring any pressure to bear on the big companies that advertise their bottles wares these subjects will be taboo in future presentations to the public.
 There is need for more ethics in liquor advertisements according to the state administrators of the laws and regula- tions. And if the industry is to prosper and to keep prohibition away from its door 1t must start now to uplft itself, by boot-straps, If necessary. All of which may be true, but 1t isn't necessary to get excited over liquor ads For the most part they have settled down to level which readers of most newspapers and periodicals into which the paid advertise Inents find their way regard favorably.
 The few opening blasts might have been a bit out of the way, but if you'll check up the liquor advertising of 1886, you'll find that most of 1t has been well planned and with the intention of not offending the, tastes of anyone, particularly a non- drinker or an enemy of alcoholic bever- ages. AS matter of fact we think that liquor advertising is showing an angle all its own. Scrutinizing the ads in our daily papers, we rarely find anything objection able or apt to harm the growing youth or girl.

A Thought for Today
One Question Settled

Before politics became the absorning question in Connecticut, there was some little discussion about parking meters. Most of this talk centered in Waterbury and Hartford. Public opinion, however, seemed to be opposed to this innovation, so those who were at all interested in the proposal let the matter drop without pushing their pet projects any further. There didn't seem to be any definite sup port either here or in Hartford, although in the latter town there was bit more investigation of the meters from prac- teal standpoint than we conducted.
 However, it might not be amiss tomen- tion the fact that parking meters are III popular use in a few cities in the Unlteo States. The city that seems to nave derived the most benefit from them ana undoubtedly will become their best booster in the states is Dallas, Texas. In anticipation of an influx of thousands of visitors from the centennial, city fathers installed more meters than originally had been planned or desired. Dallas seems to get along with them all right and places its stamp of approval on them.
 1cL CIldC IlUL U6 COLIoAuCACN1 AOWS'SA' as boost for the meters or as an attempt to revive discussion of them locally with the view of perhaps having Waterbury the first city in the East to install the devices. It's not; it's merely an attempt to give a bit of background for them. What we might mention now, though, is something that was discussed both here and in Hartford, namely, the legality of +1aa to1Ioti0 If Y11ntnrC a1OnU Ollr main streets.
 When the meters were first placed in Oklahoma City an injunction was secured against their operation. The complaint was that metered parking prevented free use of the streets as provided by statute. A District Court finding held that free use" of the streets had nothing to do with parking, but concerned travel merely. The court also ruled that park ing was privilege given by city and not right That's ruling that might have repercussions where parking privileges (not metered) are regarded as rights.

 treaty by the United States Senate next winter.
 "By that tlme," he declared, 'I believe opposition to the treaty will be pretty well overcome. Opposition arises from few powerful utility interests" It comes also from lake shipping interests that fear the competition of foreign vessels. Many other business interests, however, involving nearly all of the Great Lakes cities, are strong for it.
 It is not widely understood that there is no lavish expenditure proposed. And the expense, it is expected, will be repaid by incidental power developed, not to mention the saving in transportation costs. Says William G. Bruce of Mil- waukee: Tt promises more for less money than any other waterway engi- I1eering project ever attempted in our country" There is much talk of mak- ing Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Duluth and other lake cities "seaports". Some advocates insist that the Great Lakes are to the United States what the Mediterranean Sea is to Europe.

No Big Strike This Year

Fears of an impending labor war in the steel industry, aroused by the wide spread announcements of the steel com- panies and the unionization program of John L. Lewis, may have been exagger- ated. It appears, from personal asSur- rances said to have been given to the government by big labor leaders, that no immediate strikes are contemplated in steel or other basic industries. . The organization of the steel workers, while it will unquestionably be pushed, will be slow process, so that general steel strike would hardly be feasible this summer or fall even if the labor leaders wanted 1t. Both MT. Lewis and MT. Green, heads of the two greatest labor groups, whatever they may be planning for next year, deny any intention of starting a "labor war" this year.
 It seems unlikely that employers, even if they regarded attack as the best de- fensive strategy, would precipitate labor fight in the next few months. They, like labor, would arouse public antagonism by beginning hostilities without apparent justification. Both sides are likely to be on their good behavior during critical election year, merely laying the ground work for the showdown that is sure to come.

The Union party has started it's drive locally, so far as the 1936 election Is con. cerned. Terrence J. O'Neill of Oxford would be the candidate of Father Cough lin's party for Congress in the 5th dis trict. He, therefore, filed papers with the Town Clerk of Waterbury, but ac- companied this action with considerably less than the number of petitioning names that the law demands. This number is in excess of 800 and we presume will be attained before the last day of filing expires, which is long ways off right now. Nevertheless, there will be some rallying around the flag, boys, on the part of democratic and republican district leaders to prevent voters on their respec- tive lists deserting to endorse the N.U.S.J. candidate. That's to be expected. Therell be plenty of switching back and forth this fall, as men and women who have never voted anything but democratic or republican ticket before switch their allegiance elsewhere.

Near-State Bonds County Bonds Represent State Obligation When Latter Must Pay for Them-Future Policy
 Needs Much Thought
eds Much Thought
HARTFORD TIMES

Connecticut is in the happy posi- ton of not having a bonded debt.
 In reality the situation Is not quite favorable because of two items:
 Accumulated deficits :. .$l4,00o, ,000 Guaranteed county bonds. S,000,o0o
 The first item is state debt for which new funds will have to be found or economies effected in cur- rent expenditures. It is undoubtedly true, as State Treasurer AddiB sug- geSts, that the state could borrow funds on new bonds for approxi- mately 2 percent. Less than 1 per- cent is being paid at present for short term loans but this ratc may change when money rates tighten which would not be the case with bonds. Tn fact, when money rates 20 up low-interest bonds tend to drop below par and the state would be able to buy them in for retire. mcnt at less than par.
 Nevertheless, serious thought should be had before launching up- on 6 state bonding plan. If only the existing accumulated deficit. were to be replaced by Q bonded debt, that might be defensihle as an iso- lated item. It could be considered the liquidation of the depression 50 far as state fiscal operations are concerned. But there is more at stake than that. As surely as the state goes back to the bonding method, 50 certainly will demand be made for extension of the plan to cover the cost of new buildings for

state institutions, 8 second bridge across the Connecticut River, and other projects. Already representa- tives of seven towns east of the river, opposite Hartford, have met, to urge the bridge project upon the next legislature.
 That brings up the question of what one might call near-state bonds, such as were issued by Fair field County for the Merritt High. way, S6,200,O0O, and by Middlesex County for the Middletown Bridge, S2,0O0, ,000. Both principal and i1- terest are to be paid by the State out of highway funds. While this has not yet made necessary the en- largement of appropriations to the Highway Department and may not do 50 In the future, 1t Is obvious that, including interest, approxi- mateiy Si0,000000 of future high- way funds are earmarked and the states revenues are charged with an obligation as definitely as if this item were Q bond Issue.
 Proponents of Q second bridge at Hartford are of the opinion that similar arrangements might be made for this structure if the High- way Department is able to shoulder the estimated 9S,000,Oo0 cost spread over a period of years. It may bc feasible to pay for highways and bridges on the time-payment plan but 1t represents an actual obliga- ton of the state reaching into the future. That is exactly what Q bond issue does. The near-bond plan has the advantage, of course, that t can not be applied very well to other than roads and bridges since no State department has funds which 1t can allocate in that fash ion. Thus the flood gates for moro and more bonds are not thrown open.
 At the same time 1t is welFto bear in mind that county bonds to DC paid by the state are 2 definite charge upon Connecticut's future income and should be kept in the picture when ane considers the states bond-free status and it's pol icy for the future.

It was high time that Motor Vehicle Commissioner got local authorities to aid him in checking up on those motor vehi- cles which have not yet been inspected. It would be unfair to the thousands of motorists who went through the process of having working parts of their vehicles approved not to get after the remaining thousands who neglected or decided not to have their cars tested We hope that every car, which is minus it's official sticker will be ruled off the highways in all fairness to those that are approved

the annual convention of the Fed- eration can oust c member, ana then solely by Q two-thirds vote.
 And, since they control more than one-third of the federation, they are not worried about what would happen in the convention. Clever JOckeying
 This is exactly what the craft moguls are jockeying to prevent by suspending the insurgents be- fore the convention meets. But realizing that their action will be violently attacked, they decided to give 1t an aura of legality.
 On the advice of attorneys, they concocted the formula of prepars ing formal charges and Q "triap'. Behind this YnaneuveP is an ate tempt to bait Lewis crowd into some action that would give the council grounds to claim that the insurgents recognized It's jurisdks ton to pass judgment on them. Indifferent
 Lewis ana ms eSSoclateS nave absolutely no intention of doing this. They know the cards are stacked heavily against them in the council and are standing pat in defying 1t. Not only will they disregard the charges but they will refuse to appear ct the "triap.
 Privately, the industrial ytnion- ites don't care if the council does oust them. They would prefer to work within the federation, but will not moderate their plans to do so. They believe that their committee for industrial organlza- ton can stand on its own feet-- if 1t has to.

Our American Mediterranean

Three or four years ago it was assumed that the proposed Great Lakes and St. Lawrence waterway would go through. National sentiment, especially in the north-central region, Seemed to favor the completion of this route - already about three-fourths built. But the project has Jagged, though supported by every ad- Ininistration for many years, and though Canada has continued with her part of it.
 Now interest is growing again. Meet ings are held in Great Lakes cities to push the enterprise. At such a meeting last week George s. Reed, head of the Power Authority of the State of New York, predicted ratification of the seaway

Control of Business Called a Vital Need
BY BRUCE CAPTION

The tendency of capitalism is to- ward coilectivisrn. This, of course: is just another way of saying that big business tends to get bigger all the time.
 10 Q democracy housed in the framework of such capitalism, the only answer is . corresponding in- crease in government control and regulation that will make capitalism the servant of democracy instead oi its master.
 This, in substance. seems to be the point of Men Who Rule Amer ica" by Arthur D. Howden Smith I (Bobhs- Merrill: eO.
 The book seeks to make this point by reviewing briefly the careers ot some two dozen or so of our princi- nal capitalists. It discusses J. F, Morgan, father and son; the Rocke- feIlers: Andy Mellon and Henry Ford: such notable hired men" of ] capitalism as Clifford of the A. T. and T. and CleH1ents of the Penn- sylvania Railroad; little-known but potent security holders such as Ar- thur Curtiss James; baronial clans of the du Pont type, and 6 scatter ing of industrialists, such aS My- ron Q. Taylor.
 From the case histories, the book draws several morals, with which you are at liberty to disagree if you choose.
 It suggests that the old three- generations ~ from-shirt-sleeves.to- shirt-sleeves rule is out of date now It also calls attention to the in- creasing tendency for ownership to be divorced from control.
 And it concludes by reEnarkin0 that, as long as the average Amer ican keeps his traditional individ- lialism, there is no danger that American capitalism will be re- placed by any other economic order
 But the price of It's retention, q warns, must he an increase in 9ov- eFnment regulation t0 preserve iHA' dividual liberties.

Selected Poem
DEATH OF AN OLD HOUND
Garrett oppenheim in the New York Sur

DEHAH OF HN ODU HVUNU
 Garrett Oppenheim in the New York sun) Three clear notes and scuffle of hoofs: The old hound lifted his boodshot eyes Where a silver instant hung on the roofs, And sniffed at the morning skies. Here was a new scent: up with a bound And of like shngshot into the brush The old one flew wiGh nose to the ground And ears pricked high in the hush. The dark closed over him: now there shone One fiickering gleam where the wild prey lied Her radiant launches, plunging on, Flashed in the leaves ahead.
