Lynching And Relief Are
Still Unsettled Issues

ed the Administrations efforts to
revise the Neutrality Act to permit
cash and carry arrangement for
the sale Of arms to belligerent ma
tons.
Recent polls conducted by the
Gallup Survey show an overwhelm-
ing majority OF the American peo-
pie in favor Of revising the aet,
which, it is commended, plays into
the hands Of the fascist aggressor
nations by negating the superior sea
power of the European democra-
cies.
Revision, however, will be holly
opposed by Senator Borah and 9TH

that he will filibuster against the

Coughlin, too, has called upon his
followers to flood Congress with
kilograms and letters demanding
that the act be retained in its pres
ent form.
Opposition TO revision also has

No Need of Big Surpluses

Governor Raymond E. Baldwin con- tinues his explanations of what the state plans on doing with huge surpluses in the State Highway Department. And various groups about the state continue to show signs of nervousness every time mention is made of such financial policy. The Connecticut Rural Roads Improvement Association is the latest to secure gubernatorial assurance that highway fund diversion is not planned. No one would probably attempt to divert these funds anyway what with the Legis- lature being notoriously hostile to any such endeavorS.
 But, nevertheless, the governor and other state officials will try to put into operation the plan they have of utilizing idle funds in the highway department treasury. Naturally such funds would be restored whenever they are borrowed or used for purposes other than highway construction and maintenance. But this arouses thought to which we have given expression on several occasions. If there are possibilities of surpluSeS in the high way department and they do occur regu- larly, why shouldn't the motorists get the first benefits from them.
 In short if the department can have on nand ldle money ana yet continue lo carry on such tremendously big projects as it is these days, it would seem as If department revenue is greater than may be actually needed. And if that should prove to be the case, the governors plan of submitting highway department in- come to the rame general budgetary con- trol that other departments have might bring some relief to complaining motor ists. We still talk about the amount of motor taxes we pay in the course of a year. Perhaps this is the solution Of lower levies

New Bridge Needed?

With supposedly minor repairs being started on the Baldwin Street Bridge it develops that the structure itself was nearing a state of collapse. Supports have been found to be in very bad condition, so much so that few more weeks travel might easily have caused their complete collapse with the resultant possibilities. It is just as well that the city fathers decided to start repairs on the structure at this time and not delay this much needed improvement until next spring.
 However, there is now facing the city the choice of continuing the repair work at figure set up by the Street Super intendent or building a new bridge It has been felt for good many years that what was needed at the crossing was a new bridge and step Tn this direction was made number of years ago follow ing comprehensive report by the late Robert Cairns, then City Engineer, This report called for more than substitution of modern steel span for the old one; 1t changed the contour of the street at the point.
 Since then there have been varying ex- pressions of opinion on this original plan. Many feel that 1t would cost too much to build the big viaduct that was planned to cross the Mad River and railroad tracks, eliminating some of the present sharp street corners and leveling off the dip in the present roadway Eventually we may come to this correction of high way conditions, but for the present it looks as If repairs would be made, perhaps on temporary basis and new bridge built with funds that are called for in the 1940 budget. That, at least, would seem to be the economical way out of the situation which barely avoided being tragic ore for the city.

Don't Make Emergency Permanent

Dangerous precedentS can be eStab- lished in the name of emergency, when steps may be taken which can never be retraced. Here in our own country we are not at war - but Limited emer- gency" has been declared. Plans are be- ing made for extending the powers of government in many directions, for the purpose of avowedly protecting our in- tereSts. It is essential, if democracy IS to be preserved and we are to escape the blight of totalitarianiSm, that the people thoroughly understand the issues that confront them and analyze them in a spirit of cool logic and not in spirit of hySterical emotionalism.
 No fiat power should ever be placed in the hands of a permanent government bureau or department. If emergency laws must be enacted, they should be admin istered by purely emergency bureaus, which will automatically dissolve when the emergency is over. Every conceivable pro- lection must be established in advance to make certain that the temporary be stopped from becoming the permanent.
 As General Johnson observed recently in a radio address, to give sweeping new powers to the permanent bureaus of gov ernemnt would amount to giving away liberty and for keeps. Politics lusts always for more power. It never willing ly returns a grant of authority, once 1t has experienced 1t. It would be simple thing to socialize industry once we were stampeded into extending powers of per manent government departments, crush ing opposition and dissent, and controll- ing the radio and the press. This would bring totalitarianism home with a ven- geance.
 Don't forget that not all the enemies of democracy are abroad - there are plenty of them within our own gates. When 1t is asked that Congress give the government tighter check rein on lib- erty, the lawmakers should make haste exceedingly slowly.

"The Civilizing Rails"

The American railroads, wrote Robert $. Henry recently, haul the major commerce of the continent all sorts of freight, over all distances and between all sta tions, in all seasons and all weathers at rates so low that the average revenue for carrying a ton of freight one mile is only one cent. No other form of trans port in America offering a like general transportation serivce even approaches so low an average level of charges. No other railroads in the world, except those of Japan and India, get so little for mov- ing ton of freight a mile and the average pay of railroad workers in Japan and India is but a small part of that of average railroad men"
 There Is the answer to any question that may be raised as to the quality and economy of American railroad service. This service is the very heart of the com plex industrial mechanism which is the source of all business, all jobs, all oppor- kunities. If the railroads stopped, indus &ry and agriculture would be thrown into cliaos other forms of transport perform limited services, but none can
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-12-07

approach the railroads in handling swiftly, efficiently and cheaply the major com merce of vast continent.
 The railroads were the great empire builders the "civilizing rails," as one observer of the past described them. Transportation on tracks made possible the development of the American conti- nent and the unity of the American ra- tion. Geographically, the pioneering period is over in another sense it still exists. No industry today does more work than the railroads in pioneering Scien- tific developments designed to further improve the efficiency and celerity of service.
 America has a use for all forms of trans port, ranging from the delivery boy on a bicycle to the latest super-locomotive. And of them all, the railroads are far and away the most vital to our interests as a nation.
