Wants Vets Considered


 The following letter to The Dem- ocrat has been received from James Farren, World War veteran. It follows: "To the ex-servicemen and their friends of the borough of Naugatuck:
 "At this time there is quite bit of activity in both political parties as 1t is the time when the different political groups are trying to get control of the different groups of delegates which are to name the state and later on the national representatives, such as state sen- ators and representatives and later on the national representatives, such as congressman a1.d senators.
 Because of the fact that a great deal of veterans legislation is to come up, we should be careful to observe the type of men elected to represent us at the convention as today government is becoming a serious thing and we should make sure our delegates and representa- tive men. We, as veterans, have had little or no representation in Naugatuck and I believe it is about time that were were given the right to send delegates to these con- ventions to argue the cause of the veterans and the people. It seems to me the past conventions have had only few who could represent the people. I do not think the people of Naugatuck have received the consideration they should have got and surely the ex-servicemen have received little or no consider ation in the matter of appoint ments.
 I believe both town committees have been lax in not consulting the various veteran organizations and cooperating with us on appoint ments that a veteran might re- ceive. We have needy veterans that our government has stated should be given some preference, such as in the post-office at cer- tain tim,s and in other branches of the government.
 So all the people should watch with interest the action of our po- litical parties to the end to see that you receive just conSidera- tion."
 Respectfully Yours,

What Other Editors Have
To Say
A CHANGING ORDER.
(Kalispell Inter Lake,


Speaking in Billings last night
d. M. Kelly, vice president of the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company
said the only way to build social Sc
curity is by hard work and thrift.
This is correct if we are to con-
tinue under a system of free enter
prize, but the order is changing,
and we may as well face the fact
that social security as provided by a
paternal government is here to stay,
at least until such time as the ma
jority of citizens are convinced the
government cannot do more for
them than they can do for them
selves
One trouble with the social Sc
curity act is that benefits are often
paid to those who are not in need,
and at the same time are often de-
MED to those who are. One Of the
weak spots in the social security
legislation is that only the person
who had had degree Of employ
ment for certain length of time
may receive benefits. Those who
have been cut out of work the
longest and are in the greatest need
are out Of luck.
We are inclined to believe that
If many governmental restrictions
were removed, and unemployment
benefits were paid only to those
in actual need the results would be
much better. Taxation for social
security is driving many smaIl
firms out Of business, which only

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

A story is told in connection with
the reconstruction period which fol-
lowed the Civil war 1t seems that
man killed traveller and stole
his mule, and he was tried in a
town on the border between
Georgia and Alabama The colored
Judge said to the accused man.
I'VE got two kinds of law
Georgia and Alabama law Which
do you prefer
After few moments the prisoner
said that he'd take Georgia law.
Then, said the judge, Il fine you
Sl0 for stealing the mule and hang
you for killing the man.
Hold on, your honor. cried the
prisoner Il made a mistake, It's
Alabama law | want
The judge nodded and then pro-
ceeded, by Alabama law | fine
you $40 for killing the man and
hang you for stealing the mule
II the criminal statutes were as
hard to evade as the alleged
Georgia-Alabama law was, there
would be far less crime If every
crook, gangster and prospective
criminal knew that his chances of
escaping punishment were slight, he
would think twice before acting.
Statistics here and in foreign coun-
tries show that certainty of punish
ment has direct effect on the num-
Der of crimes.
In America (not Canada) a Grim
inal has good chance to avoid ar
rest, if he is arrested and arraigned,
he stands a fair chance of never be-
ing convicted. and if he is convicted
and sent to the pen he has a good
prospect of being paroled. The
percentage Of criminals running
loose without having paid the pen
atty for their offenses is much too
high.
