The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-01-28
Voters Get One Chance

Of all the measures proposed in the Legislature thus far, which would alter, amend or nullify Waterbury's city char ter, so far as we know only one takes into consideration the voice of the voter. That is the bill of the Citizens Good Gov ernment Association which calls for a referendum on the question of a city manager form of government for this city. Too many imagine that the bill would allow the Legislature to prescribe this form of government for the city, but such is not the case. Legislative approval of public referendum on the question is the sole provision sought.
 The very drastic proposal, still to be raised in committee, that an Assembly, named commission rule Waterbury un- der state of emergency declaration doesn't take into consideration the voice or will of the people here And the same, we think, is true O. other proposed char ter changes, many of them very obvi- ously proposed as a form of political re- taliation. We see no good accruing to the city from plans as these. Critics of the present Democratic administration speak about such methods in uncompli- mentary terms, yet they turn around and plan to do just what they say isn't right or fair to the public.
 AS we said only few days ago, two wrongs will not correct right If there are individuals or groups anxious to cor rect real or imaginary abuses in our city government, they will aim at those abuses only and not at individuals. They will not attempt to sneak" measures through the Legislature without letting anyone here in Waterbury know about it. They will not attempt to assume dicta- torial powers with the idea that complete overthrow of home rule accomplishes reform. Whats done at Hartford with reference to Waterbury's government should be done with and by local consent

Isrns. Good and Bad

Perhaps it is time to look certain facts in the face and point out the unprofitable abuse of an innocent word - or rather an innocent part of a word. The refer ence is to 'isns". The immediate provo cation for comment is speech by men- Der of the American Legion Auxiliary, in which she says: If we are going to love America we must know her. Isms have no place in American schools, and if we do not teach our youth to respect our country, we cannot expect to retain our freedom"
 We must also teach our youth to know our language. The sentiment expressed is fine, but the language is silly. If isms have no place in our schools, the speaker will have to kick out patriotism, the greatest ism of them all. "Ism" isn't even a word. It is merely colorless word-ending, in itself not indicating ap- proval or disapproval of any doctrine, theory or system.
 without discrimination" says an old Hindu sage, "all is lost" Whether isms are good or bad depends on the ism. Against anarchism we can put American ism, against communism we can put re- publicanism, and so on. There are as
 many good isms as bad ones. We'd better find a different epithet to convey the meaning intended.

Student Help for Students

The recently organized Intercollegiate Committee to Aid Student Refugees has set itself big task, and one which will be as beneficial educationally to those supporting it as to those helped. Protest ant, Catholic and Jewish students III American colleges and universities plan to raise funds to enable student victims of Fascist oppression abroad to complete their studies in this country. It is hoped to raise enough money to take care of liv- ing expenses as well as tuition.
 The movement is sponsored by Mayor La Guardia, Representative Bruce Bar ton, the Rev. Harry EmerSion Fosdick, Msgr. John A. Ryan, and President Hutchins of Chicago and Wilbur Of Stanford universities. It is an out growth of Harvard Universitys offer of twenty refugee scholarships of $500 each on condition that students and faculty raise an equal sum for living expenses.
 American students who contribute to the work will show their own apprecia- ton of religious and racial tolerance. Even those who do not at first participate in this enlightened generosity are likely to learn from it and profit by 1t in the end. Such a movement is not only evi- dence that American students under stand the basis of their country's freedom and progress, but seems to guarantee their continued and sincere devotion to It.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-01-28

The Rev. William w. Aver, pastor of a New York church, at a recent centennial program in honor of Frances E. Willard blamed President Franklin D. Roosevelt for drinking in the United States. He was addressing the Woman's Christian Temperance Union Among other things he pointed out was that there was liquor in the White House now. All of which is proof indeed that the Presidents family is no better or no worse than many others in this nation As for Roosevelt being to blame for drinking in the nation, that's unfair. If personal liberties are to be blamed on him, then blame everything on him.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-01-28

Reorganization of the State Depart ment of Agriculture so that 1t would include a number of other presently existing bureaus is still slumbering rather quietly at Hartford. The reason is, of course, that there's well-defined opposition party, which knows no party lines. Governor Raymond E. Baldwin may find it bit difficult to put through a reorganization bill that eliminates so many departments as now planned. And the funny thing is that under the pro- posed revamping of departments there might be more good accomplished than is now by the several different ones. We say this with no thought of criticism of any existing department or its heads. The Connecticut Dairymen's Associa- tion is one group that is pretty well lined up to oppose the reorganization. And there are and will be others Reor. ganization is a hard thing to put across when it means loss of jobs. Only hard boiled executive can do it.

CoNNECTrCUTs INACTIVITY
(Hartford Times)

The McKesson- Robbins concern has its main office and place of bus mess in Connecticut. Yet when its troubles broke 1t was 8 rather strik- ing fact that there was no Connec- t.cut agency among all of those which began investigations of the firms affairs.
 It seemed that if Q crime had been committed 1t had been committed up- on Connecticut soil. Many persons were unable to understand why the Connecticut authorities were not among those Investigating the situ- ation. That though apparently oc- cured to Representative Tonkonow of Meriden who offered resolution in the House of Representatives calling on the Attorney General to take hold of the matter in behalf of the State.
 While others may have been i'm. pressed as the Meriden representa- tive was by the inactivity of Con- necticut officialdom, the remedy he proposed seemed hardly to be the right one, assuming that legis- lative prod were called for.
 It would be most unusual for the Attorney General of the State to proceed in such matter and special legislation would have been re- quired.
 The States Attorney for Fairfield County had ample authority to pro- ceed if he deemed fitting to do so.
 Just why the authorities of Fair field County were inactive is not yet disclosed. Possibly they felt that with the matter in the hands of Federal prosecuting agencies and being investigated by other Federal agencies as well as by the Attorney General of the State of New York,

THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL
(NeW York Times)

Frank Murphy may owe his ready confirmation as attorney general to an explanation which he might well have made two. years ago. Tn the senate hearing last week he re- vealed that his unwillingness to risk shedding blood in evicting the automobile strikers from the Michi- gan factories in January. 1887, was not accompanied or motivated by an approval of the sit-down strike as a mode of bargaining. He was able to point out that he had prevented some strikes and settled others, and expressed the opinion that the sit- down strike, which he described as unlawful and unjustified" had been thoroughly discredited." His sin- cerity was manifest even to those who differed with him as to methods. No one ever doubted his humani- tarianism, and no one need doubt now his respect for law.

Few Dents Appear

The shining armour of Governor Ray mond E. Baldwin and his Repuollcan cohorts in charge of our state govern ment is beginning to show signs ot com. bat. A dent here and there; bit oi tarnish proves that everything IS not proceeding too smoothly at Hartford. Perhaps that's the way it should De. Certainly it was that way all through the regime of ex-Governor Wilbur L. Cross with the veteran Democratic leader battling all the times for his Ideals and objectives.
 Only the other day Editor Vance ot the New Britain Herald declared that all the editors in Connecticut had pe- come Republican since the first of the year. Personally we don't know many who weren't Republican or lndepeno- ent CD with not very strong lncllnations nnn towards the Democrats, prior to lsos. But that's beside the point. me com ment from New Britain arose over the clamor or approval in the press TOT Cor nelius J. Danaher as State Labor com missioner to succeed the incumbent, Joseph M. Tone.
 Certainly that was magnificent tribute to the Meriden man ana no dls- credit to MT. Tone who has been ac- claimed, although that won't hold ms ]oo for him. But aside from this ratner unanimous approval of Baldwin cholce there are rumblings in the distance. Take, for example, the dual Joo Dill Wnlcn would kill off patronage for lot of Re- nublican legislators, anxious to receive Choice appointments this year. That doesn't set too we'll and although the governor and the COP State Central Committee is obligated to such a move, there may be exceptions and loopholes, which, naturally, will show high com mand weakness.
 And If this isn't enough to prove that the COP is presently vulnerable and VIII remain so. read about the anxiety ana hurry to oust two Democratic High Sher- Ifs who were given recess appointments bv ex-Governor Cross. AS interpreted by the States Attorney General such ap- pointments are gooG only until the Legls- iature following has met In other Words these appointees do not or are not py law allowed to fill out the complete term for which they were named, unless tor- tunate enough to secure later Legislative approval They must make way for reg ularly-elected officials, whose terms act ually don't begin until the previous term is completed
 It's very complicated business, which, ever way you look at it, but the natural and easiest way out is to allow the in. cumbents to complete the full unexplred term to which they were appointed. But Republicans want the officials they elected last fall to assume office immedl- ately and ask the Assembly to make 1t legal by interim appointments. The purpose is so obviously partisan and not a desire to comply with the law that all the promises and words about political patronage being thrown out the window become empty and meaningless Two strikes are thus called on the new COP regime without serious matter being discussed or disposed of. Trivial mat. ters such as these here mentioned should not have jolted the Republican party as they certainly have. It begins to look as if the change from the old to the new was not altogether successful.
