So Many Think This

Every so often Republicans proudly speak of the fine financial condition in which the state was before Democrats came into power. Right now one of those opportunities is at hand and advantage is being taken of it. For we reaL in the current issue of the Connecticut State Journal that $50,000,000 is being charged against the administration of Wilbur L. Cross. The way this is done is to point out that when ex-Governor Cross was elected in 1930 the state didn't owe cent. Todays figures show the state in the red, the high total above being quoted and credited to Democratic management.
 Oddly enough nothing is ever said about the legislative branch of the state government which certainly plays as much of part in running it as does the governor. It has remained consistently Republican through all the years that other officers were Democratic. So why accuse Democrats of running up $5O,- 100000 bill if we are to accept this as the correct figure? Why not point out that both Republicans and Democrats and Socialists had hand in the proceedings since 1881?
 The State Journal, however, prefers the old, old story and recalls: Except in the size of the figures in red, the cur rent situation does not differ greatly from that which the incoming Republi- can administration faced in 1915 when 1t followed into office the still more previous Democratic ipcumbency. At that time, with Marcus H. Holcomb in the guberna- torial chair and with J. Henry Roraback as it's state chairman the Republican party hitched back it's sleeve garter and went to work for the people of Connectl- cut. It provided annual income for a fund with which to pay off Democratic in- debtedness of about $15, ,0OO, ,OOO-thlngS didn't come as high in those days. And it laid down the iron-clad policy of 'pay-as- you-go."
 No mention is made, of course, that during the late Simeon E. BaldWin's ad- nainistration legislation continued to be dictated and managed by Republicans and not by Democrats. Now we're not selfish and don't propose that one polltl- cal rarty should grab off any more honors for an administration deficit or balance than the other. Let the Republl- cans and Democrats share alike in the glory and the criticism. They certainly should. But never let it be said that Re- publicans didn't have hand in the pie all during the administrations of Bald win and Cross. That's false and glossing It over doesn't cover the fact that the Re publicans were as prominent in state government then as they were all during those halcyon days of Rorabacklsm.

Talking Stop Lights

An up-to-date traffic control apparatus is the radio policeman about to be tried out in few spots in New York city. It employs small robot radio transmitting unit which may be mounted on telephone poles or traffic stanchions. By it, mes sages concerning traffic safety, speeds and intersections may be broadcast au- tomatically to motorists as they are driving through radio-equipped zone. A sign would tell the driver as he approach ed the radio zone and give him the trans hitter frequency.
 With the same apparatus and a directional loudspeaker mounted on a traffic light pole, pedestrians can be warned vocally of impending light changes. For example, at busy corner, pedestrians would hear voice say, Do not cross now; the light is about to change" The wise pedestrian would then not be caught in the middle of the street by cars responding promptly to changed signal.
 It might be startling, at first, to have spoken words from loudspeaker added to visual traffic directions. The thing probably should not be used everywhere, but limited to intersections where traffic is especially confusing. Properly handled, it could be very useful.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-04

liquor traffic, except the sale of medicinal liquors, presumably sale on prescription or would it be simply those liquors which comply with the legal requirement for a medicinal liquor; and also one prohibit ing liquors to be advertised by price. Naturally the press of the state opposes this latter feature for it would soon de- prive newspapers of a source of its rev. enue. A selfish reason that, of course, but when you come right down to it if news papers didn't have selfish reasons they wouldn't exist.
 If liquor dealers are to be prevented from advertising prices of their goods, then certainly the same principle could be applied to the butcher or the grocer. Why should staples be advertised by price if it isn't to encourage purchase. If we eliminate the liquor store from using prices, then we should also eliminate the liquor store and only let it be sold at government houses. Other than the sale of liquor, though, there seems to be a definite agreement that the industry must police itself and restrict itself to the law. That's logical. When the bars are down, general opposition to the indus try increases. When this occurs, we're back to the point where national prohi- bition with it's unfortunate results, entered.

boys would have recognized Franco at the drop of a hat, the Presi- dent at first appeared not anxious to crash the situation too soon.
 Recently Roosevelt got a letter from Irwin Laughlin, who was Hoover's ambassador to Spain, urging that he recognize Franco immediately. Laughlin was one of the last ambassadors in Mad rid to recognize the new Repub- lican regime in Spain in 1881. For time, in fact, -Le staged one-man boycott of the Repub- Hcan government, and when final ly he did come around to the Spanish Foreign Office he ex- plained his delay on the ground that the United States was wait ing on Great Britain. ;. .. 7.
 When Ambassador Laughlin called upon the President of Spain at that time, he took occasion to remind and warn him" against foreign interference. But now, with Italian and German troops still on Spain soil, Laughlin urged Roosevelt to recognize Franco.
 All of which probably hurt Franco rather than helped him at the White House. For the Jones and Laughlin Steel com- pany, of which ex-Ambassador Laughlin is chief owner,s has been a bitter opponent of almost every thing Roosevelt has done. It even took a supreme court decision to

PORTRAIT OF MY FATHER

(Marjorie Fairbanks Holt in the New York Sum He is a man who never will forget The charm of lofty places, nor the debt He owes, from childhood to New England ground That held homestead firmly, granite -bound. He loves his garden, like man whose plot Is but tenth the size of all he's got It is his cure for loss or little gain In weighty matters of financial vein. He has friendly way of breaking bread To summon wings that circle overhead And timid furry creatures know his touch Is somehow kindred-will not press too much He is rare collector: nothing old Is ever useless, nothing precious sold For genius, ingenuity and wit Will surely, some day, make good use of 1t. Great courage is his banner, often worn As cloak about his shoulders, not upborne On standards men can splinter, while his hands Are busy with the nurture of his lands.
