The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-10
Ahead to 194O!

The greatest hope for labor, for indus try, and for the American people gener- ally lies in vision of standard of living and an industrial level far above that achieved in 1929 For time, in the depths of the depression, it became the fashion to look back to 1929. Our Job" we said, "is to get production and wages back to the 1929 level"
 Increasingly, we begin to see now that it is no such thing. We have seen produc- tion and wages rise in many industries, such as the auto business, to around that level. And it is not enough. We know now that the unemployment problem, and our other besetting problems, will not be solved by any such thinking. One by one leaders have been expressing this point of view, this vision of level of pro- duction and living far beyond the limplng prosperity of 1929, which means millions unemployed even then, and a scale of prices which largely nullified the high wages that then prevailed.
 Latest of these prophets of plenty is pr. w. E. Wickenden, president of Case School of Applied Science in Cleveland, Ohio. In a recent speech to industrial and civic leaders there, Dr. Wickenden observed that industry needs "a first-class prophet who can dramatize and idealiZe the great task of serving more people, giving them more and better, and higher-paid jobs" The unemployed, Dr. Wickenden empha- sizes, can never get jobs in merely satis- lying our old needs. Their jobs lie ahead in satisfying wants we have yet scarcely discovered, in industries not yet created, using processes not yet invented, and employing facts of nature we have not yet even discovered"
 Spreading our present income more equitably, through the higher wages the present strikes are aimed at getting, is not enough. High wages benefit a few" Dr. Wickenden notes, "and their effect IS temporary. But lower costs benefit every body, and their effect is lasting" The exhaustive Brookings reports on the eco- homie situation have already suggested such a solution. Research, effective man. agement, enterprise, and vision, those are the things which are going to lead us for ward to higher scale of living than ever before.
 You need not be philanthropist, or sentimentalist who wishes more people to have more things because it is nice for them. All you need to be is one who looks facts in the face and sees the direction in which our high-geared industrial machine is headed. That machine is not a stationary engine. It moves, and to run at all it must move in the direction of greater plenty for more and more Americans
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-10
Stop, Look and Listen!

Before Congress takes anything in the way of decisive action on President Roosevelt'S judiciary program members of both branches, democrats and republi- cans alike, should think long and talk loud before taking any irrevocable step, which might, or might not, place the country in a more precarious position than the one from which it is only emerg- ing-the depression.
 Any legislation, whether it be from the executive, legislative, or judicial, branches of American government, that threatens, even if it only be fractional, to thwart, or divert, the original idea of the Constitu- tion, is fraught with grave danger to the future of this nation.
 Had President Roosevelt by the slight est inclination previous to his election even as much as hinted at the drastic pro- posal he now is submitting his colossal victory, even if elected, would have been a matter of votes, not millions. Hence the need of caution now, four years are but a short time and yesterdays victory but house of cards.
 President Wilson rode the crest of the greatest popular acclaim up until his time for few short years. Less than two years later he was beaten and deserted by his loudest supporters on his unpopular League of Nations fight And so on many others, too numerous to mention, back through American history. No man is bigger than his country of which in the last analysis he is but an infinitesimal part.
 So while it is perhaps too late to cau- tion President Roosevelt himself to stop, look and listen, at least his friends can yet apply the necessary brakes, or sand the tracks, whereby what good that has been accomplished through his leadership up until now will not be irretrievably lost The nation is behind it's Supreme Court - the one and only court of last appeal.

Mingled Emotions

The announcement that the Connecti- cut Railway and Lighting Company, suc- cessor to the more familiar Connecticut Company will abandon all it's trolley lines in this state if the Public Utilities Com mission grants approval, is just about what most people have been anticipating for some time. The day of the trolley car seemed to be at an end several years ago when the busSes started to encroach on territory where cars had run ever since the identification of the old horse-car system.
 Here in Waterbury there were some who claimed that the bus could never supplant the trolley because of the hilly nature of our streets. But busses operate today on miller streets than the trolley ever attempted. And we can expect that in another five years every nook and corner of this town will be serviced by busses. There seems to be no reason to doubt that the Public Utilities Commis- sion will withhold permission to give up the electric cars, provided adequate serv- ice is given by busses.
 And judging by the plans even wider service than that now possible is con- templated. There will be new bus lines; streets hitherto not visited by public car riers will be traversed on regular sched- ules. We wonder if this may not mean ultimately hard battle for private bus lines, few of which still operate in Wa terbury With the c. R. & L. extending it's routes, it may mean the end for the private carrier. One thing that will go will be the trolley track and also the over head electric cable with it's necessary SUD- porting wires and poles.
 It probably will be several years, after permission is obtained for the bus substi- tution, to remove the last traces of the trolley car. But we can readily believe that in ten years there will be gener- ation coming s!ong that will listen open mouthed to stories about the trolley cars in Waterbury. OId-timers will entertain youngsters with recollections of the days
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-10

In order to impose a strict 50-mile an hour speed limit on all Connecticut high ways, it is going to be necessary to name a good many more state policemen or highway inspectors than we now boast. To be sure the limit could be checked near congested areas, but how about out on the open highway? And another thing that must be taken into consideration is the modern motor vehicle. It accelerates so easily to 50 miles today, what with better motor performance, modern bodies, and efficient tires, not to mention the roads themselves, that it may be almost necessary to employ governors to keep the speed down. Not that we don't think 50 miles an hour is fast enough. We do
 but many people don't and are quite comfortable driving faster than that. Were they compelled to curb their rate of speed down to 45 miles per hour at points where the car could really be let out, we don't know what would happen. We do feel there is more chance to impose a 5O-mile speed limit than 45 mile one.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-10

One more tie of friendship between the United States and the Dominion of Can ada will be cemented in the next year when huge highway bridge is thrown across the St. Lawrence River through the Thousand Islands. It will be owned and controlled jointly by Canada and north- ern New York state county. Incidentally it will be another proof of why we don't need armed forces along our northern boundary line. If anyone is familiar with this section of the St. Lawrence they know it is one of the most beautiful along it's miles of scenic grandeur. The bridge, incidentally, will give motorists close view of the palatial summer homes of noted Americans.
