cigarets can be taxed with any justifica- tion so can cosmetics. We presume, how ever. it would be no difficult matter to line up the feminine vote against any such imposition, as it would increase the cost to the consumer.
 We don't notice, though, that the cigaret tax has caused any falling off in sales in Connecticut. This is due to the fact that the tax for the most part is borne by the manufacturer and not the consumer or smoker. It is just as likely that the same condition would prevail were tax placed on cosmetics in this state If it comes to choice in taxes, and we hope it won't, we'd pick cosmetics. But before starting new taxes, we would suggest cheaper form of government, not unheard of nor impossible.

Conservation Aid

A newspaper item reveals that most Americans are now within days motor drive of one of the camping grounds and resorts in the national forests, beautiful natural locations in which they can swim, camp, and picnic AS fast as the demand grows, the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture is developing other scenic spots and recreational areas
 The great value of any such program is obvious at glance. To the vast ma jority of the people in our cities, whose horizon is bounded by constructions of man, conservation of natural resources can be hardly more than phrase. It is only by visiting and luxuriating in a na- tional forest that they can realize it is sublime heritage, meant not only for them but for posterity.
 The course of the Forest Service seems a splendid way to amass public opinion behind the drive for conservation.

Royalty's Code

The recent British episode gave Ameri- cans an interesting sidelight on the moral code of royalty. A king had to abandon his throne, apparently, if he wanted to marry commoner, but he could keep It, and no questions asked, if his love life were conducted without benefit of clergy
 Now comes the Rumanian hubbub, in which King Carol has banished his brother, Nicholas, from the country as plain citizen ostensibly because Nicholas wanted his wife recognized as princess At the time Nicholas announced his ln- tention to marry the divorced wife of diplomatic official, he was reproached by Carol for "sullying the glory of the Ru- manian crown by misalliance."
 With their odd moral standards, Amerl- cans will find it difficult to understand how marriage can sully thrones glory, and Carols undercover romance with Madame Lupecu fail to dull it's sheen.

Sure-Fire Money Producer

Evidently pressure was brought to bear this week on legislators, for we under stand that there'll be no approval given program that includes tax on cosmetics A week or so ago when there was much discussion and dissension on the means whereby the state might increase it's an nual revenue continuation of the cigaret tax and application of one on cosmetics loomed as likely substitute for all the others mentioned.
 These run the gamut of state income taxes, sales taxes, and several others, none of which had popular appeal. For that matter what tax has a popular appeal? We do think that like cigaretS and liquors, cosmetics would be rich source of state funds. And certainly II

Having Its Effect

You won't be able to convince good many Americans that the recent U. 5. Supreme Court decisions upholding New Deal legislation are not the result of the fuss and furore' over President Roose- velt's plan to bring about changes in the makeup of the court. The reversed court decision on the minimum wage law is a good example of this. By a five to four decision some time ago the court ln- validated New York States minimum wage law. Now 5-4 decision upholds the minimum wage law of the State of Washington.
 Justice Owen Roberts was the member of the highest court to reverse himself. In the New York State case he voted against; in this weeks decision he is for the minimum wage law and the New Deal While no one will dare accuse the court of being influenced by the hubbub of the last few months over proposed court changes and additions, you can't convict a person for thinking that. And how many Americans will be doing just that as they scan the headlines of their favorite newspapers?
 And you may even find persons, po- litically wise or protesting to enjoy un- usual knowledge concerning the inner workings of our government and it's ma- nipulators, who will claim that the recent decisions are just what the Roosevelt administration has been seeking by it's threats to disturb the unbroken and hal lowed existence of the Supreme Court. Anyone's opinion along these lines is as good as the next mans. However, it must be said that the decision upholding the minimum wage law is a good one in our estimation and one that will un- doubtedly result in much good through out the nation in the labor field.

Peace at Washington

The Supreme Courts sweeping ap- proval of the Wagner Labor Relations Act lends very different aspect to the Supreme Court struggle. The Court, through the majority of five members dominating recent decisions, has "gone liberal'. It has done so with such vigor and decisivenesS that, as long as the pres ent membership continues, it may be ex- pected to apply the same philosophy of government through flexible Constltu- ton that appears in the minimum wage and labor decisions Justices Hughes, Cardozo, Brandeis, Stone and Roberts do not seem likely to change on vital prin- ciples.
 President Roosevelt is said to have re- marked, before this last decision, that he could accomplish nearly everything he wanted to do, if the Wagner Act was upheld. The decision obviously makes the commerce" clause, due process" clause and welfare" clause of the Con- stitution far more elastice and potent. Thus the constitutional struggle ap- breaches some kind of climax. Will the President push his plan through to the bitter end, to liberaliZe more completely an already liberalized court, or will he accept what looks like historic peace gesture from the Court itself?
 He might drop his plan to reorganize the personnel of the Court, and content himself with endorsing one of the com- paratively mild amendments, which have much support in Congress, such as re- quiring a two-thirds vote of the Court to veto an act of Congress, or giving Con- gress power to override Court veto by tWO-thirdS vote. That would mean popular referendum requiring three fourths vote of the nation for acceptance. In any event, we may be closer to peace on this distracting issue than anyone could have expected.

right to curb newspapers which criticized public officials. Inci- cidentally, that was another 5-4 decision. At that time the same justices who this week voted for freedom of the press then voted against it. They were Sutherland, Van Devanter, Butler and Mo- Reynolds. The five who recently voted against the Associated Press Hughes, Brandeis, Stone, Car doza and Roberts-at that time voted for freedom of the press. Ouch!
 Those who winced most at the Wagner Act decisions were the Liberty League lawyers. They got out a report long in advance de- claring the act a complete de- parture from our constitutional theory of government" They had mo hesitancy" in recommending that 1t be ignored.
 When other lawyers pointed out that it was unethical to issue this advice before law had been tested in the courts, 8 committee of the American Bar Association upheld the Liberty League.
 Those who signed the report in- cluded: John w. Davis, Frank Ho- gan, Nathan Miller, Joseph Ely, Bainbridge Colby, David A. Reed, the late George WickerSham, the late James M. Beck and Fred Stinchfield, now president of the American Bar Association.

The Day of the Big Ones

For several months now we can be expected to listen to tales of the great open spaces This is the season of the year when men and women from many walks of life take to the brooks and ponds for the purpose of catching the willy trout. If the angler has poor luck or returns empty-handed, the fault lies with the State Board of Fisheries and Game. Won der what fishermen would do if the state decided not to protect fish and game and just let them fend for themselves?
 There may be justifiable complaints from time to time on conditions in our woods and along our streams. But for every good one, there are dozen which have no foundation whatsoever. So far as man is able the state endeavors to pro- vide for those who enjoy the sport of fish ing what it takes to provide the thrills and pleasures. But man also has in the last few generations been depriving all Wllo life of their necessities of life.
 We have despoiled the waterways; we have cut down the brush and the trees; we have fished out streams and ponds; we have driven fish and game from their natural habitatS; we have removed their sources of food supply. All these are facts not fancies. The state knows this; many Sportsmen know it. To rectify such conditions we have state boards of fish and game; we have wild life preser- vation societies; we have fish and game clubs. All are concerned with restoring conditions that will be conducive to propagation of such species of fish and game as will provide men not with food, but with sport.
 In the old days man fished and hunted to supply himself and his family with food and with clothing. Today these are sports only We hope all are sportsmen who engage in them. We rather think that Connecticut does pretty good job for her licensed hunters and anglers. Let them reciprocate not with carping and criticism but with thanks. If they must criticize, let it be constructive.

Naughty Gilbert

As said right off the bat MT. Schwab was the best known per- sonality connected with the Beth lehem Steel Company. But no more. Another guy has crashed into the linelight beating down upon the corporation and no one knew he was on earth until the last Tuesday. That day there was a meeting of Bethlehem stock holders in Wilmington, Del. Dur ing the course of it bird named Lewis D. Gilbert managed to do something which not only got his name plastered on the front page of every newspaper in the land but also established the fame of Bethlehem Steel Company for all the ages to come. MT. Gilbert takes his fun by representing at annual meetings minority stock holders who have a grouch against the majority interests running the corporations i'm which they have their money invested. MT. Gilbert is quite catholic in his tastes. He does not specialize in any partic- ular corporation, operating any particular business. He goes after them all. The Radio Corporation of America, the National Dairy Products Corporation, the Vana- dium Corporation of America, and the Bethlehem Steel Company look just alike to him.

Selected Poem
THE OLD FAMILY ALBUM
(Herbert Durrell Smart in the Boston Post)
 lNaShlla N H.. 1937)

 (Herbert Durre Smart in the Boston PoSt)
 (Nashua N. H., 1937) The family album is old and dusty, Its cover is faded and worn; Its meal clasp is tarniShed and rusty, Its pages are yelloWed and torn. If those old-style pictures in the album Could talk to us today, We wouldn't understand their language, They've been so long away. The tear -dimmed pictures look quaint and old
 fashioned
 The style of long ago; From out of the past they seem to have wandered, And stopped to say "Hello! There's grandpa with whiskers that are growing And grandma's face, so fair; And very little boys, unknowing, Looking cute with tousled hair. And as I turn the pictured pages, And try to identify Each form and feature, once familiar, A "cinder" gets in my eye I close the treasured old family album, Remembered through the years, And tendery once more replace it Among my souvenirs.

 Most important is that Chief Justice Hughes opinion in the Jones-Laughlin Steel company case was not so very far off from the government brief in the Schechter Sick Chicken Case.
 Lay the two side by side, and you find that Hughes cited the same precedents from decreeing steel in interstate commerce and therefore subject to the Labor Board, as government attorneys cited in claiming that chickens were interstate commerce and therefore subject to MIRA. With the same precedents, the Court declared MIRA unconstitu- tional but the Labor Board Q. K. APPARENTLY MIR. DOOLEY WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL. THE SUPREME COURT DOES FOL- LOW THE ELECTION RE- TURNS.
 Modified NRA?
 MT. Hughes went further than this. He threw out what New Deal legalists consider to be a subtle hint that were the MIRA to come before the Court again it would be OK'd too. For Hughes pointed out that besides interstate commerce there were other req sons for nuullifying the MIRA among them the improper "dele- gation of power" by Congress to the President.
 The hint seemed to be that if this delegation of power were made more specific, instead of as sweeping as during General Johnson's heydey, the Court would toleraet 8 less ferOciOus Blue Eagle.
 NOTE-New Deal legalists be- lieve Hughes went out of his way to throw into his opinion a lot of things which he didn't have to say, in order to make it abso- lutely plain that the Wagner Act was valid.
 It was the Court majority's an- swer to criticism thath it had tied Roosevelt's hands on sit-down strikes.
 I Told You So
 Don't overlook the cleverness of the Court liberals-Brandeis, Stone and Cardoza-in making Hughes and Roberts do all the reversing.
 Both of the latter had their hands full. There were five inl- portant opinions, and the liberals didn't help them out with one. Roberts handled the Associated Press and Virginia bus cases, while Hughes took the other three -Jones-Laughlin steel, Friedman Marks clothing and Fruehauf trailer.
 The liberals sat by looking pleased, as much as to say: You two were the gentlemen who swung the Court the wrong way on lot of New Deal legis- 6latoin, and now you can swing it back again"
 Roberts, usually absolutely sure of himself and the most fore full of all nine in delivering an opion, was nervous and uncertain when he launched on the ASsoci- ated Press decision. He has talk en some stiff editorial comment in the press for changing his mind.
 Freedom of Press
 McReynolds surprised everyone by being calm and dispassionate when he read his dissent. Tn the past he frequently has lost his temper, once stormed that "the Constitution was gone."
 Justice Sutherland, usually the mildest hammered of men, this time pounded on the dais, lett he sparks fly. He read the dissent on the Associated Press case, up- holding freedom 0f the press.
 In 1881 Sutherland joined in the dissent on the Minnesota Gag law, in which he upheld that States

Real Gents!

Evidently MT. Gilbert is no gen. tleman. His inSufferable actions prove that he has no innate re- finement, no proper respect for business men of the highest repute and salaries, and is totally de- void of sense of humor. But let it be known that even if he per- formed like person of no breed- ing whatever who obviously is ig- norant of the correct thing to do when in the company of nice peo- pie the stockholders were not cor rupted by his bad example and worse manners. For in answer to his demand that President Grace and other directors kick back with 8 verminiferous fifteen million iron men the demand
 twas entered in the records as
 . recommendation for action by
 the board of directors"
 That is returning good for evil, is it not? Is that turning the other cheek or isn't it? That is heaping coalS of fire on the Gill bert dome with vengeance. It is such conduct which is restoring big business men to the repute and confidence they enjoyed prior to 1929.

How He Works

MT. Gilbert corrals a pocketful of proxies, blows into any annual meeting of the stockholders, and there shoots the works. AS might be suspected MT. Gilbert is viewed as decidedly de trop, persona non grata, a lousy trouble maker, and a pain in the neck in exalted financial circles. Tuesday every thing was going swell in Whining ton when MT. Gilbert arose and demanded that Chubby" Charley Schwab be chucked out of his job as chairman of the board, his sal- ary of two hundred thousand smackers be abolished, and that he be retired on 8 miserable pension of twenty-five thousand grand g year. On the grounds that MT. Schwab- had outliyed his useful ness.
