At least a dozen states discrim- mate against beers and liquor brought in from other states. Several states tax salesmen enter ing the state, and much anti chain store agitation is based on the Buy Locally" cry. One town which vio- lently opposed chain stores sudden ly realized that 1t was selling almost its entire industrial production to a national chain.
 Thirty-one states have special oleomargarine tax designed to pro tect local dairy products from com- petition by out-of-State margarine makers. This brings retaliation. Ala bama, a cotton-seed state, protested such a tax in Wisconsin, retaliated by refusing to buy any Wisconsin made dairy products for state insti- tutionS.
 MILK
 MARKETS
 Eighteen states set the price of milk by law. That makes an attrac- tive market for out-of-state pro- ducers. So milk-shed authorities have to be set up, supposedly to protect standards, but really to pre- vent milk from other states from reaching the market.
 There is more trouble, red tape and expense in driving a car across certain state lines today than there is in going into Mexico or Canada.
 You are customs ms-inspected as you enter and leave Kansas, Colorado Utah, California, New Mexico and Arizona. In several states the gaso- line in your tank IS measured on entering, and you are asked to pay tax on that gasoline.
 States which have sales taxes feel handicapped in relation to neighbor- ing states which do not. So, be- ginning with Washington in 1885, eight of them have enacted "use taxes"
 If you go from Washington into Oregon a4id buy an article, natural ly Washington can't collect a tax on that sale. But it can charge you "use tax" on the article vixen you return to Washington and it does. So do California, Colorado, Ohio. Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas. Utah and Wyoming.
 Once started, these discriminatory barriers rise like mushrooms. One thing leads to another thus: Michi- gan passed a law forbidding the sale in Michigan of beer from states which discriminated against Michi- gan beer. By the beginning of 1888 beer from 10 states was being ex- cluded. Indiana, hardest hit be- cause its brewers had been selling $2 ,O0 OOO worth of beer a year in Michigan, imposed a complete em- bargo on all beer and liquor from Michigan.
 The situation got so bad that peace conference" had to be held in Detroit, resulting in tempo rary truce. In the meantime Ohio imposed a $1,500 annual tax on any distributor who handled Indiana beer. That situation is still un- settled.
 The Chicago assembly will make a study of such barriers and try to devise plans to abolish them. Stu dents fear this rising tendency to cut off state from state and build barriers is a dangerous return to Isectionalism, which if unchecked will chip away bit by bit the free trade among states which has made the United States commercially great.

Safest City h State! Citizen Takes Up Pen to Laud Police Depart ment for Its Eforts-Discusses Speed Laws, Efficiency From Non-P Political Angle.

lator is arrested on 8 charge of reckless driving. In Meriden an attempt was made to incorporate a speed law in the city ordinances but Attorney General of the state ruled that to do so was illegal. Time, effort and study have been put into a new parking ordinance which at the present time is near completion. As for enforcement of the present parking laws the po- lice are trying to be as reasonable as possible. In the matter of statistics let us use the last report of the National Safety Council as a base. This report is printed in Public Safety" a monthly publ- cation of that organization.
 Safest In Connecticut
 Waterbury is listed sixteenth in group three which embraces 55 cities of 100000 to 250, ,000 popula- ton. Bridgeport is placed twenty second; Hartford, twenty fourth and New Haven twenty sixth in this same group. From this report it can be stated truthfully that Waterbury is the safest city in Connecticut. Let us consider &C., cident statistics before the estab- lishment of the Accident Preven- tion bureau, The ratio of fatali- ties to the number of accid- ents from 1883 to 1886 and com pairing the four leading cities of the state; Waterbury was high est with 293 as an average for three years; Bridgeport, second with a figure of 2.83; New Haven, 1.81 and Hartford last with 1.80. In the years from 1933 to 1886 in the comparison of the four largest cities regarding fatalities per 10,- 900 population Waterbury was second with an average of 1.76. Bridgeport led with figure of PAS; Hartford's rating was III and New Haven's 1.58. These figures include only those accidents in which damages amounting to $25.OO or over were caused and were obtained from the Depart ment of Motor Vehicles. If the author of November 13ths editor ial will refresh his memory he should know that a monthly sta- tistical comparison report is giv- en to his paper for publication. For further information because of the excellency and completeness of these same reports the Motor Vehicle department has set up our records as a criterion for all police departments of the state. The above statistics prove that the accident situation was in 8 deplorable state in Waterbury be- fore the organization of the Ac- cident Prevention and Investigat- ing Squad. In the matter of ac- cident insurance rates because of this deplorable condition of &C., .cidents Waterbury was considered tue unsafeSt city in the state and for this reason insurance rates were exorbitant. But when the trend of accidents started down. ward it was only logical that in- surance rates had to follow. And

Evidence of the political basis of the various attacks by the Republi- can-American on the reports and recommendations of Griffenhagen & Associates, (the firm which the Re- publican-American claimed credit for hiring some months ago) was the statement today of the rec ord of Waterbury's police depart ment as shown in the magazine of the National Safety Council, Pub lie Safety.
 Citizen Writes
 While none of the police of- ficials, or the Griffenhagen & As- sociates' employees working here on orders of the finance board, desiredl to enter controversy which eman- ated from political bias, an ob- server, a citizen with some experi- ence in police work, took issue with an editorial appearing yesterday in The Waterbury Republican. The editorial criticized the financial con- cern for its laudatory report on the Waterbury police department and cited various biased matters which are explained in complete refutation by the statement issued to The Democrat as follows:
 Waterbury, 1t can be safely stated was one of the pioneers in the attempt to establish speed limit within the city knowing at the time of the establishment that it was contrary to the Motor Ve- hicle laws but having in mind the moral effect the signs would have on the motorist. But it was through the efforts or so-called public mindedness of thg Republi- can that this plan was spoiled. When the Republican asks the question why a 25 mile an hour speed law is not in effect in Wa terbury this newspaper can answer the question better than anyone else. At that time the Republican called upon the State Traffic Com mission to have that commission render a decision as to whether or not the police department had the authority to set a speed limit. The question of authority arose after the Republican had learned that the police department had posted speed limit signs on Thomaston avenue, Watertown avenue, Pine street and various other thoroughfares in the city. The Republican learned that un- der Section 1885 of the Motor Vehicle laws that the police had not the authority but that this authority was vested solely with the Traffic Commission. This section reads as follows: No town. city or borough, nor any board or officer thereof, shall make any ordinance, by law or resolution respecting the speed of motor vehicles" After learning this fact that the police had Overstepped their authority it was played up heavily in the columns of the Republican. In New Haven and Bridgeport speed limit of 25 miles an hour has been set-up but it cannot be enforced for the violation of speeding but the vio-

Rise Of Barriers Between States Increasing Handicap To Trade
'BaIkanizatiOn' To Be Studied By Conference
BY WILLIS THORNTON

(NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Chicago, November IA. - The rapid rise of trade barriers between states has business men and econ- omists badly worried.
 Little by little, country whose business traditions are based on states is "Balkanizing" itself.
 The kind of customs barriers that have made trade within Europe a nightmare are forbidden by the United States Constitution. That gives congress sole right to regulate interstate commerce.
 But by means of subterfuges like 'use taxes" state agricultural reg ulations, liquor trade walls, motor truck regulations and taxes, fruit embargoes and discriminatory state taxes, a situation similar to the European position is being achieved rapidly. These and related problems are to be a concern of the Midwest Regional Assembly of the Council of State Governments here, Nov. 21- 22,
