A Thought for Today
Cheer Up, Legislators!

The various tasks that are being
brought to the attention of our Legisla-
ture must encourage the boys who 60 at
their law-making in serious vein. To
those who merely regard it, though, as
pleasant biennial pastime, it won't be
so bad. The Meriden Journal calls to
mind in a recent editorial a matter that
is of vital interest to the entire state.
There are many angles to 1t, more than
even the Journal mentioned in the course
Of its remarks. In the main it limited
itself to pointing out the discrepancy in
court fines and costs, as levied by cities
and towns in Connecticut.
In the city of Bridgeport, for example,
there were in year there ,422 arrests,
presumably, for motor law violations.
$8,349; costs totaled $4,000. In the ada
cent town of Trumbull in the correspond
ing period there were 824 arrests for
which fines of $2,893 were levied and
costs of $10,447. Yes, that last figure is
quite correct. AS the Journal points out,
fines are not held by the city or town in
which levied, but 60 to the state, but the
costs are apportioned among the officials
who participate in the arrest, conviction,
and fine
No more need be said than that about
such situation as this. The matter has
been discussed time and again and efforts
have been made to force small-town
courts to cease abuses of justice which
simply make monkey of the motorist
and increase his annual tax bill consider
ably. OF course it's his fault to get tan
gled with small town justice in the first
place, but perhaps he didn't mean to do
SO. Anyway the Legislature could do
worse things than consider seriously this
problem for 1t is one and will be serious
one If 1t continues in many more towns.
We could point out that this discussion
naturally leads to demand for the dis
tzict court system in Connecticut. Such
an innovation would eliminate the small
courts, roadside as they were termed
few years ago. 1t would result, too, in the
same treatment for all arrested motorists
in all parts of the state We don't doubt
but what the proponents of the district
court plan can lay heavy stress on the in
equalities of a system that permits such
excessive court costs as revealed by the
above figures.
And If other legislators want to length
en- out the discussion they might also
show the inequality of apportioning all
the money collected on law violation in
certain town without the town itself re-
alizing anything from the transgression.
Cities and some towns are forced to
maintain their roads and streets along
the same lines as our state highways,
yet they receive no funds for such pur-
pose. Most of the gasoline consumed by
motorists in Connecticut is used up in
driving over city thoroughfares. But the
state gasoline tax is not in any part ap-
portioned out to the towns There's room
for argument here and for some correc-
ton of the existing system of ignoring
the cities and towns

Children In Toxic and Osaka now have
their own daily newspapers, published
by Nichi Nichi, one of Tokio's great
dailies. The children's paper is Of tabloid
size, with larger type than normal There
are four pages daily and eight on Sunday.
The language is simple, the illustrations
profuse. The subscription rate is about
seven cents a month.
The children's paper will contain local,
national and international news, educa-
tional matter, comic strips, childrens
stories and articles written by boy and
girl readers. There will also be prize COM
petitions, detective stories, film and radio
reviews, puzzles and games.
Americans, knowing how heavily CEN
sorship rests on all japanese newspapers,
wonder little whether the children's
paper will be free from the same control
or whether 1t isn't chiefly an instrument
Of propaganda designed for young and
impressionable readers. In our view, the
latter would be most undesirable.

If New England wants flood protection,
particularly in the Connecticut River
valley, then it behooves the legislatures
of four states-New Hampshire, YER
mont, Massachusetts,, and Connecticut
to get to work. Too bad that the legisla-
lures of these four states weren't in ses-
sion last spring so that they could visit a
real flood in operation and then retire to
their assembly halls to take the proper
steps to prevent recurrence. Of course
many of our own legislators, as well as
those in the other three states affected
probably witnessed flood scenes last
spring, but, while distance lends en-
chantment, age also dins the memory.
So what happened last spring isn't quite
as commanding this year. Nevertheless
legislators need to take action so that the
Connecticut River flood relief plans may
be put into execution. The first thing to
do is to provide for construction of ten
reservoirs. In short provide funds for
purchase of their sites. Are you listening,
boys?

Leon Trotsky, famous Communist
leader and exiled rival of Stain, driven
from Norway as he has been from many
other countries, finds at least temper
airy haven in Mexico. In Tampico he
expresses his deep appreciation for Mex
lean hospitality, as well he may.
1t is probably only a matter of time
until he gets into trouble there, too, or
until his foes make trouble for him. He
has promised to avoid meddling in Mex
lean affairs and to keep out of propa-
ganda work while living in Mexico. But
that is hard promise for such prolific
propaganda as Trotsky to keep With
him radical agitation is as natural as
breathing. He believes implicitly in his
cause, is prolific in ideas and fearless in
action.
Mexico, too, is an interesting back
ground for this Red without country.
President Cardenas is rated as a Social
list, and his administration is engaged in
many activities that would be called So
cialistic, and his administration is
engaged in many activities that would
be called Socialistic in our country They
will interest Trotsky, and sooner or later
he will probably be accused of being in
volved in them, whether truly or not.
Our own people, excepting those who
have large investments in Mexican lands
and mines, will care little about that, as
long as the Red Napoleon doesn't NEEDLE
in our own affairs. He would like to
return to New York, where he started his
incredible career as publicist, but that
Is not practicable.

Chief contribution Russia has
made to the Spanish Socialist
cause is a tank corps and an avia-

which may be significant in view
of the possibility of war between
Russia and Germany In the not

Senator ed" Gebhardt of New Haven
has the honor of presenting the first leg
islative measure from that city to the
General Assembly 1t calls, of all things,
for expansion of the New Haven Normal
School term from three to four years and
it's establishment on the basis of a state
teachers college, such as that in New
Britain. This completely reverses the
plan of educators who are endeavoring to
do away with the normal schools and
substitute one central teachers college.
