CAPITOL SLants
BIZ John M. ZUdch
by JOTtN WI. LDuCN
Representative at Large
and BrolDn Counties

The house this week steam
rollered opposition and passed a
new drivers license bill which
will tax. drivers throughout the
state approximately $350,000 or
more every two years and do lit
tie or nothing to protect their
safety Of, others.
The bill provides that drivers
renew licenses every two years
but requires no examination of
any kind. Any person who has
80 cents and has attained proper
age can secure a license to drive
a death machine in this, state.
The good which can be derived
from such. law is very limited.
No test of eyeSight, hearing or
color blindness is made. Such in
GividualS are detected only after
they have become involved in an
accident, perhaps causing the
death of an innocent.
A practical Law should attempt
to determine dangerous drivers
before they are implicated in &C
cidents. There is no, need for
more than perhaps $4,000 a year
to merely keep a register OF
drivers and remove licenses for
cause.
If motorists are to renew Ii
censes every biennium- and pay
out good money, for that, permit,
then they should be entitled to-
the security of a law which pro-
tects them on the road from driv-
erS who, because of lack of Ger
tain faculties, are necessarily
dangerous drivers. Imagine per-
sons who are color blind driving
in an involved stop" and go"
system in the larger cities with
their red and green traffic sys-

COUNTY CONTRIBUTIONS

Large sections of the state are
actively supporting the bill which
purports to eliminate all county
contributions to the old age as
sisance fund and proposes that
the state supply the so per cent
not furnished by the federal gov
eminent.
That bill is set for special
order for this week. Some cOun-
ties insist that this is urgent be-
cause they can no longer finance
the one-sixth required from cnun-
ties. That, of course, is admis-
sion that some sections of the
state expect other sections to, car
ry their load
The careful, conservative coun-
ties, particularly southern Mime
sofa, have kept their house in
order. They have not over ex-
pended or allowed debts to- be-
come overburdensome. There are,
however, many counties in which
such is not the case. Now they
are asking the careful counties to
pay all of the freight load.
There is much danger involved
in this policy. OF course for
tunate counties want to- come to
the rescue of less fortunate sisters
but good counties must entertain
caution that spending, sections do
not secure dying clasp and drag
solvent counties to depthless fin
ancial oblivion.
Other dangers are involved
should the legislature decide that
the state pay the entire load. Con-
troll would largely. be centralized
in the state. Extravaganza in adj
ministration might become ramp
ant as local county, commissioners
control is displaced by a state
agency. The policy appears I'M
sound.

more BARLEY"

The past week included passage
of a measure requiring the use
of at least 66 2i3 per cent of bar
ley malt in the manufacture of
beer. Most small breWeries,. in
Guiding those in New Ulm, have
always used that percentage or
more.
The purpose of the measure is
to catch several larger breWeries
which have used other than bar
ley products in beer manufact-
uring.
1t appears that the war to grow
more barley is on!!!!!
TRAIN LENGTHS
Railroad workers, after years
of persistence, were successful In
maneuvering through house chan
nels their bill limiting the length
of freight trains to 70 cars. The
railroads persist that enactment
of this bill means a raise in
freight. rates.
However, at each session they
can finance a powerful lobby
which must add into many thous-
ands of dollars. Personally, the
author would much rather see
this eat and drink money used
to entertain legislators paid out in
wages and employment.
Those who have successfully
covered so as to avoid payment
of tax on monies and credits may
find that much more difficult in
the future should the proposed
law be enacted. Rate increases
from three to five mills are in
prospect with collections made
through the state tax commission.
Monthly balances will be used
as basis to arrive at the amounts
taxable. Local communities would
receive 125 per cent of the
amount they now receive from
this source and the balance
would go into the general revenue
fund of the state.

A TRIP over almost any bituminous
road in this section at this season of the
year creates doubt in the mind of the driver
as to the economy of such roads. Granted
they are big Improvement over gravel, they
still cannot be regarded as the ideal substi-
tute for paving Where concrete road comes
through the winter like new, great many
of the black top roads will not be good again

welt, has been due to many faotors, but chief among them Is the inc creaSing public confidence of the individual citizen, whose faith is measured by the tremendous vote given to the President in the last election.
 Confidence
 The confidence of the business man and industrialist has also inc creased but not to the same extent as the individual. Business and il1p dustry have been cautious, in the knowledge of what happened in 1929. This means that industrial and business activities skill have a long way to 90 on the road to the highest possible prosperity, this side of overexpanSion. believe that we must do all possible to increase the confidence of the business man and manufacturer, in Connecticut, so that he will continue to expand eiT- ployment and production, and stim- ulate trade.
 Under the leadership of our Pres- ident, we have gone fer toward com. plete recovery, and we are going to continue on the journey, We must cross our bridges as we come to them, but we must do SO with Q confidence that we are on the right road. It shall Do my aim, as your Senator, to keep the road as clear as possible of those incidental obs stacles which arise In connection with our legislative program and which tend to discourage and to decrease confidence In some quart. CTS. We must Keep the objectiVes in mind. If we cross an occasional bridge which seems wobbly, or If we encounter Q inud-hole on our jour. ney, let us remember that we have come Q long way since 1929, and as each mile passes we are drawing closer to the desired goal. There we hope to find sustained employ- ment and higher standards than ever before in our history for all who are able to work and who need work.
