In Session Again

Time passes very swiftly between ses-
sions of our General Assembly. 1t doesn't
seem possible that two years have elapsed
that those eventful hours when organize
ton OF the General Assembly of 1885 was
being held up by failure Of the State Sem
ate to agree on Its officers. That was
sad moment for the democratic party.
Whatever chance 1t had OF controlling the
Senate throughout the legislative term Of
that year went up the chimney when con-
citation was replaced by blunt opposition.
There will be no such tactics Wednesday;
the situation Is bit different and demo-
Gratis have learned lesson.
To Governor Wilbur L. Cross, Lieuten-
ant-Governor Frank Hayes and all the
democrats returning to Office Wednesday
we offer our heartiest congratulations
They have splendid opportunity this
year TO accomplish much In useful and
1ong-needed state reforms. A program Of
legislation faces the incoming General AS
senbly that will put 1t on the books as
justly historic law-making body. With so
much In store for those who control our
state government, we do not see how in
dividuals cannot help but fall In step with
the orderly procession and not attempt TO
set the pace themselves.
Wednesday will be an eventful one for
Governor Cross. He will be inaugurated
for his fourth successive term. It will be
the first time since the Civil War that a
Connecticut governor has had this unique
honor. It Is one from which the demo-
cratic party Of Connecticut should derive
much pleasure and honor. When His Ex-
cellency was first proposed for his pres
ent political Office back in 1880 there was
much scoffing and some criticism, even
In democratic circles. But 1t did not take
long for this feeling to evaporate. Today
Governor Cross LIS held in the highest es-
TEEN and affection. His honors and his
favors are deserved. May Wednesday be
his day.

became able to predict with certainty
what would happen II certain things were
done" The social scientist Is not yet IN
the first stage. There are nearly - many
different explanations for any specific
economic happening, for instance, as
there are economists trying to explain 1t.
This Is not entirely because the physi-
cal sciences lend themselves to greater
exactness. DR.. Wickenden says they are
not yet and probably never can be COM
pletely and finally positive about any
thing. Even In the physical sciences, much
must be taken on faith. They do, how
ever, recognize their problem and make
thorough study Of causes and effects.
Perhaps II we were as sure Of the practi-
cal value Of making scientific social
studies we would push them farther and
faster.

Amateur students Of farm psychology
are bowled over by the professional dis
coveries Of Miss Pearl Gardner Of the
Cornell University Agricultural School.
For five years she has been studying the
minds Of horses, cows, sheep and pigs
Her conclusions, as far as she has got, are
that cows, usually regarded as hopelessly
dumb, actually have more "horse sense"
than horses themselves.
The cows actually seem to rate highest
In the barnyard, with mans noble friend,
the horse, only little more intelligent
than the sheep. Real "tops," though, in
the intelligence quotient Of barnyard
animals, may be the pig, on which Miss
Gardner Is now concentrating
1t Is very upsetting Some OF us have
noticed, though, that in recent years cows
In rural areas seem to have been learning
not to chew their cud In the middle of the
road. Possibly that Is because the ances-
tors Of the dumber BOSSES have been
bumped off by trucks, SO that the new
generation has a better heritage.
Chickens, too, formerly rated even below
COWS intellectually, show evolutionary
progress and are less inclined to cross
the road in front of an approaching car.

Lower Insurance Rates

We'd like to find out how Mayor Fiorella
LaGuardia makes out In his campaign TO
secure lower rates on automobile i1sur-
ance for New York city. The mayor thinks
that the city is being Disseminated
against, judging by his recent remarks
and his efforts to have the rates changed
to benefit Gotham motorists. However,
there Is more to this business Of changing
those rates than merely complaining
about 'em or citing statistics to show that
a certain city or locality Is on the spot"
/, Waterbury knows that and still does, for
we have long labored under the impress
sion that our liability insurance rates
should be lower.
In fact there will be report submitted
to the incoming Legislature by commits
sion headed by Judge Frank P. McEvoy
pertaining to this same thing. At the
1885 session OF the Legislature the subject
Of automobile liability insurance was quite
thoroughly discussed. There were even
public hearings at which the reactions OF
all persons and groups concerned with the
! topic were sought and aScertained. But
80 far as we can see there has been moth
ing done about lowering liability rates In
Waterbury, which Is acknowledged to
have the highest charges In the state.
A good many years ago we took the
attitude that insurance companies could
not successfully pick out one spot and
soak" 1t, while other sections nearby
profited by lower rates. And any attempt
tn prove that underwriters who set up the
rites were using other means to devise
them In this locality always fell fiat. The
thing that impressed us most was that
The figures could not be shaken. There was
something wrong In this taxation district
Instead Of trying to correct 1t we have
maintained our got-to-be-shown attitude.
Mayor LaGuardia, discussing rates,
said: II submit that we are entitled to
pool the conditions OF the entire state and
get rate based on that pooling The
accidents In New York city are less In
proportion to the population than In the
rest Of the state, bringing the percentage
OF the state down, and therefore we ought
to get the benefit Of the lower rates In
the rest OF the state. :"

We note that some efforts are being
made to interest the Carnegie Hero Award
Foundation in the brave actions OF Paul
Noonan, Is, who risked his own life to save
that Of fellow-companion when the ice
cracked and plunged two boys into the
waters OF the Hitchcock Ice Company
pond near Frost Road last week. One boy
unfortunately lost his life In the pond,
but the other was saved from like fate.
1t occurred to US right at that moment
that perhaps here was material for
command appearance" of young Noonan
on Kate Smiths radio program some
Thursday night. Kate has been awarding
prizes weekly now to three outstanding
individuals in the field of bravery. Their
feats are reviewed on the air and the radio
audience is asked to choose from three
submitted the best. There's a prize of
$500 attached. Perhaps local A. and P.
store representatives might be interested
In submitting the local case, since their
company sponsors the program.

New York Is following Connecticut's ex.
ample In motor law reforms. A new idea
in operators licenses goes into effect
shortly. They will be issued for three year
terms, instead of just for a single year
The law under which such change was
made became effective January 2. Only
persons applying for original licenses can
obtain them right away as operators IL
censes In N. Y. do not expire until May
81. The cost of three-year license to an
original applicant will only be 81. The
cost for a renewal will be $3.50. Dirt
cheap, we'd call 1t.

Delaware has just got around to dis
solving three turnpike companies that OPP
Grated within Its confines over a century
ago. The oldest one was formed In 1911.
Tolls were collected on roads operated by
the companies up TO twenty years ago,
which Is quite recent In this motoring
age. We can't recall tolls in Connecticut
since the automobile came into popu-
larity, save, Of course, on ferry crossings.
Not even bridges In this state had tolls
and there are many such in other states
still collecting them on old ramshackle
wooden affairs.

The president, 30 far, has
made no decision on the question.
But he Is under strong pressure
TO agree to repeal.
Likewise, he Is being vigorously
pressed to revise the corporation
surplus tax so that firms In debt
could deduct from their taxable
profits the sums they pay on their
obligations.
RFC Chairman Jesse Jones is
active In urging such liberaliza-

His motive Is strictly unitarian,
because this relief would improve
