Makes a Big Difference

It is quite obvious by this time that the four states which joined this past winter and spring in compact to bring about flood control in the Connecticut River Valley view the whole proceedings in quite a different light than does the federal government. The four-state compact, of course, calls for federal aid. As a matter of fact the federal government builds the dams that are to take care of flood waters. It also provides large part ot the money to be spent for the entire project, the states sharing the remainder of the cost, but not equally.
 The four states - Connecticut, Massa- chuSetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire - are concerned chiefly with flood con- trol. At least they must have been to have signed the compact with which we are now familiar. There was nothing else taken into consideration, so far as we can recall. Not so with Uncle Sam judg- ing by recent events. It must have looked to the day when the reservoirs and dams to be built up in the Vermont and New Hampshire hills would form the basis of miniature Tennessee Valley Authority, only this one would be the Connecticut Valley Authority.
 Intrusion of the electric power produc- ton issue into the discussion points in that direction quite clearly. But the Connecticut River valley is not faced with the problems that brought into being the IVA. Flood control is our main worry. We are not concerned so much with the production of cheap electricity to com" pete with the output of the private com panies of New England. We are not in- tereSted in prevention of soil erosion nor reforestation to the extent that they were down in the Tennessee River valley. Those are problems which occupy minor place in the Connecticut River valley right now. The main idea is to provide protection against floods of the 1886 scale. It can be easily done if states and federal gov ernment simply regard the issue in this light and not complicate it.

But the stories of some of the irrigation projects in our own west haven't been so happy as to encourage us in much more of that kind of thing over here, If you can interest Ottawa in your scheme, it's all right with us and we'll watch its de- velopment with great interest.
 But sometimes we wonder about such things. Suppose instead of spending so much energy and money in efforts to adapt the works of nature to his own puny plans, man should contemplate for little while the possibilities of adapting his own plans and locations for productive enterprise to the works of Nature as they are, might he not be. able to get just as good results in the latter wayP With less trouble, present and future?

A Thought for Today
A Few Years Difference

Political scenes flash on and off the screen of life with increasing rapidlty. The events of today become the history of tomorrow. Connecticut is probably no different than any other state in this respect. We can speak for Connecticut, where we can only read of the other states. Anyone who has followed the political trends in this state from period around the time of the World War is we'll aware of all that has happened and must wonder at the changes that have been accomplished.
 Both parties have contributed to the political history with the socialists play ing some little part in their domination of city politics in Bridgeport in late years. Of course the striking event of this twenty-year span is the rise and fall of the Roraback dynasty in go.p. circles. Some may claim that this dynasty has not died, but is merely slumbering, but when ]. Henry Roraback died this spring 1t spelled the complete end of his influence on state politics and either the beginning of new one or else the further diSinte- grafton of the republican party.
 In striking contrast to this late-day decline of republicanism has been cor responding rise of democratic political stock. Here again you can take your choice as to possible outcomes. But it is safe to say that the democratic control of state and nation is not seriously threat ened at the present time. But who would have predicted back in 1917-18-19 or 20 that in twenty years the state would have showed such complete reversal of politi- cal opinion and choice that there would not be one republican in the Congress of the United States from Connecticut? That would have been greeted with laughter. Yet it's here today.
 For all We know democrats and repub- licans today might greet with raucous comment the flat declaration that by 1857 neither of their parties would be in existence. If its counterpart was funny in 1917, SO 1t is in 1887. But look how easily the unexpected has come to pass.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-07

Representative Mahaney, if he is so moved, can now devote his efforts at Hartford to getting other fixed charges, such as those levied by lighting com panies, eliminated Here is where he will be tackling a complex problem that has caused more words to be uttered in sup port and protest, not to mention written words, than you can find in the diction- ary. The fight against the fixed electric rate is an old one, but one that doesn't seem to advance one way or the other. The same arguments that might have been used against the fixed charge on hand-set telephones won't hold good in the other case. Opponents will have to think up new ones.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-07

If Representative Daniel J. Mahaney seeks reelection to his legislative job in 1888 and is successful in his campaign, there is one fight that he won't have 10 carry back to Hartford with him. That's his fight to eliminate the fixed charge on hand-set telephones. This charge is being dropped after the first of the rext year by the telephone company, it was learned in this city the other day. The company has decided>to eliminate this charge com pletely. At the recent legislative session Representative Mahaney made such good fight to have measure killing the fixed charge passed that he ultimately put the bill across only to have Governor Wilbur L, Cross veto it, which was indeed a sad blow to the local legislator. It was the first time in the many years that he has campaigned for the fixed charge elimination that he was so near to suc- cess. Perhaps, however, 1t was his efforts that prompted, in some part, the com pany's recent action.

P PressCOn1nent
TRAP ROCK EYESORES AND NUTMEG SCENERY (New Britain Herald)

 Connecticuters think much of their superb scenery. It is as att tractive they sal, as the bulk of the scenery in many another New Eng land state. And 1t is. Tourists agree to that. But one thing about Connecticut mountain, or hill scenery that an- noys almost everyone with an eye for beauty: The many trap rock quarries that mar the views just when the views ought to be at their best.
 The law apparently does not safe. guard scenery from their hands. They can buy property and project their ugly mountainside scars al. most anywhere along the scenic routes. Few of the owners have any desire to inflict their hill- side scars at points where they cannot be seen from the highways. To them the process is merely a business and as rugged individual. ists they think they have the moral as we'll as legal right to deface the countryside.
 It is time that the law made this industry understand that it can- not continue as 1t is doilng; that the trap rock can just as easily be tapped out of view rather than point blank within sight of the high ways.

Exiling Great Men

You can judge governments today by the people they exile. This old practice of tyrants is getting amazingly common again since the World War. And the strangest thing about it is that tyrants nowadays seem to take special satlstac- tion in kicking out their most valuable citizens - their scholars, scientists, pro- fessors, literary artists-men and women with brains, culture and ideas.
 It takes generations of patient build ing up for any society to create the cul- ture that produces an Einstein, Thomas Mann and many another present exile from Germany, Russia, Italy ana other autocratic countries. These are the pres ent worlds Shakespeares, Goethes, Dan- tes, Bacons, Rants, Newtons, Tolstoys, Voltaires, and SO on. And they are kicked out, deprived of home and job and prop erty, by our Hitlers, Mussolinis and Stalins and their petty imitators, to live as pest they can in alien lands.
 It is to the eternal credit as well as the common sense, of the United States ana Great Britain, that these two English speaking countries particularly have well comed such exiles and have provided use- full and self-respecting work for many hundreds of them. But this is not mere charity. Their own countries loss is our gain. And those countries, some day, will regret their folly.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-07

as his critics so frequently point- out, there was not one navigable stream or a fish-pond of any value in the entire district of Tennessee which elected him.
 It was 2 member of this com mittee that Davis fought War rem Harding's move for a ship subsidy-a move in which Frank lin Roosevelt now has been more successful. It was also as 8 member of this committee that Davis waged the first legis- lative battle against the big ra- diO companies and their drive for monopoly within the in- dustry.
 It was this early experience in framing radio legislation which may cause the President to move Davis from the Federal Trade Commission, which is furc.ioning smoothly, to the Federal Com munications Commission, which has been functioning like a mad- house.
 Price-Fixing
 Judge Davis is a Eare sight when he gets wrought up during a Trade Commission debate against unfair trade practices or monopoly. To him not only the letter of the law, but the spirit of the law must be obeyed.
 Once when 8 large mail-order house was found to be selling goods to retail stores at 8 price cheaper than they sold to whole salers, Judge Davis made the case his own pet. The commissions chief counsel had ruled that al- though this was a very unfair trade practice, nevertheless there was nothing in the Robinson Patman Act which made 1t illegal.
 Judge Davis chewed his pencil thoughtfully. Finally he broke out:
 "You say there's nothing in the law which makes that H. legal. We'll, we'll see about that. You let me write the opinion on that point. The trouble with you boys is that you don't know the law"

One R. O. Sweezey, referred to by the Toronto Star as a consulting engineer and prominent financier, has an idea which he thinks will solve Canada s drouth and dust bowl problem. He wants fo divert the water of streams now flow ing into the Arctic Ocean into irrigation difches, running through Northwestern Canada. He says the losses for the cur rent year will exceed $500, 900, ,0OO and khat his project can be carried out TOT about S40O, ,OOO, ,0O0. So 1t would pay TOT itself in less than two years.

Two Good Mysteries in Current Offering

| eAA SNAA S.AS SAA S@ @Ss0
 Two better-than- average mys- teries are offered currently by the Crime Club, in Joel Y. Danes ''The Cabana Murders" (2) and William Edward Hayes Before the Cock Crowed" CD. Lippincott adds another thriller to the list, al- though it's not so well done as the first two, in Round Robin" ($O by Graham Ward Bain.
 "The Cabana Murders" again features Danes wisecracking, hard boiled member of the New York homicide squad, Sergt. Cass Harty, and is as fast moving and well constructed as his first mystery, Murder Cum Laude." Harty's so- lution of some particularly gory murders will satisfy even the most exacting of mystery readers.
 Before the Cock Crowed," is another "second" and the author again offers his star character, Ar- thur Halstead, private detective excellent opportunities for action and deduction. There's a hint oi the supernatural in the book that adds to the mystery, and as you've guessed by the title, fighting cock plays an important part ir the solution.
 Round Robin" offers a modern Robin Rood in the business oi stealing from the rich to give tt the poor. But 1t doesn't click 8: well as 1t might and is pretty dul in spots. However, if you liks young Englishmen who are carry ing this business of cricket int the realms of police work apt second story activities you'll prob ably enjoy it.-W. V.
