Rnsinsss As Usual

Despite the fact that there is q war haing fought all over the globe q war ln which Connecticut is vltally interested business goes on as usual at the Capitol la Hartford That's truly American for you. of course, and probably it's 6 good &lgn. but there are limits of endurance. After all this was supposed to have been a legislative session with wartime re- aEnietlong, limitations, etc. AS matter of fnct the sesion has been little different fEom those in the past when peace hoHered over Us. The same tactics are neing employed in securing passage of purely personal legislation; the same
 anflRes guide our legislators in making their decisions, in deciding their votes.
 Tfua. Governor Raymond E. Baldwin had the very fine Defense Council cre- n4nd by ex-Governor Robert Hurley superseded by a War Council. But this wi1 accomplish no more had it remained a Defense Council. There is talk of doing something for the communities that are upset by their tremendous war effort, but as yet there is no positive action in such direction. But the Legislature can devote time to partisan measures or to snnh things as restoration of forfeited rights. The first gubernatorial veto since I935 comes as a result of the Legislature granting rights to a participant in the Waterbury conspiracy trial.
 knd in another week or SO the state viii have bill which will probably "sew npR all future gubefnat0rial appoint rnGalAs and make them mandatory on the good will and feelings of both houses of the General Assembly. A few years un<er'' hy hostile press. Today it looks aa if it might become a "war baby" and he nourished by lack of public opinion Oil it. Eight years of political starvation under Dr. Wilbur L. Cross and two under ~noh' Hurley have convinced Republt- cans there Is only one way to run state government - people 1t by members Of your own party: legislate them in office for life.

seems io be the htop Co thlsa, ll you want soMething done without having to get tho city fathers or tho voters Co approve %. That's not the American way Of doing things and the sooner the Legislature ro. turns to fhe towns the rights that arc theirs the better off our way of llgo is going Co be.
 There are certain matters pertaining Co municipal government that require regular legislative action and usually tho proper officials will see Co lt that tho necessary steps or precautions are taken. But too often of late years tho Leglslature has become the court of last resort For individuals or groups who overlook sane. ton at home and simply decide them. selves that such and such should be the rule. Two years later someone else goes up to Hartford and undoes what has been done and proceeds Co impose an entirely new order.
 And this could go on for year after year. But during on this time It's the public that Is tossed around unless, of course, it is in its interest that action is taken. Generally you'll find tho legls. lative action is designed for the indlvld. ual and not the public, though. But IS the public or its representatives asked Co pagg judgment before Hartford imposes the fnandate2 On rare occasions so far as we can see. The condition is not Q healthy one for any municipality.

War Pro6ts

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company reports gross income for last year of slightly more than $l8B, B,0OO, 900. This is S34,00O,OOO above iD4l and $5S,- 900 900 above 1D4O. War profits, you say.
 Well, of the increase over 1D4l the company paid $11 ,0OO,0O more in wages and @30,O0O, 900 more in taxes, plus some minor increases, so that the net Income, available for dividends and as a reserve against lean years to come, was almost $12,OOO, 900 under 1D4l and slightly under 1O4O's figure.
 Is this typical? Corporate earnings before taxes, shown by Commerce De- partment records, climbed last year to 31O.7 billions as compared with $i40 billions to previous year. After taxes, earnings were lower by $l00,00O,O0O. That is, tax increases ate up all of the "war profits" plus another $iOO, 100000.

Many thousands of women now leav- ing their homes for business and indus try in our own city and other cities of the state will continue to work outside the home when the war is over, predicts an eminent psychologist. This writer believes that working in war plant will not make women 5asically different than they are now. No, perhaps not too diff ferent, you may say, except that the llt- tie man at home, instead of the little woman, may find himself eating more trade named pies and less of the deep dish apple and deep meringued lemon, as well as less of three layer chocolate cakes, ahd many other pastries and cakes and breads that a man always likes. The woman in war work does not find it very easy to stir up a batter after a forty eight hour week.

Placing Responsibility

There seems to be a tendency in cer- tain quarters to place responsibility upon the State Department for plans to bar the press from the coming United Nations Food Conference, and thereby to limit the public to what some papa" thinks the kiddies can safely be told.
 This is wrong. Whether the idea bc as bad as we think, or perfectly proper, 1t is not the State Departments It Is not the Office of War Tnformations. It is the Presidents.

President Roosevelt is back from am other extended trip and he negotiated these last miles with a minimum of gen. eral criticism. When he made his first such trip, and especially when he left has native shores, he was strongly criticized by many, but now that he has gradually made these occasional trips part of his routine the public in general are accept ing them as not too out of the ordinary.

 For my belief and teaching about this I have already taken ell of the reproaches. scoldings and sarcastic cracks there are. and I'm afraid I'm past reforming now.
