Politics
 -M- Passing

Thet hottest news of the week was the $66,500 grab approved by the legislature. Despite the fact that Connecticut has a Statute Revision Commissioner at an annual salary of $7,5Oo, both houses this week ap- proved 8 bill setting up 7-man commission to make a revision of the statutes, the first general one since 1880. Each member would re- ceive an annual stipend of $7500, plus $2,00O expense money. And that certainly is money in any lang Uage. Three of the commissioners are to be named by Lieutenant Gov ernor Snow. while three more will be named by House Speaker Marsh. The seventh will be chosen by the six and will be the chairman. There's no doubt about the fact that this is one means that was chosen by political leaders to break the legislative deadlock and to enable some worthwhile legislation to be brought out, as we'll as minor court ships and commissionershipS to be decided. But the fact remains it looms as about the most bare-faced grab" in many long year at Hartford

There won't even be vote on the so-called birth control bill at Hart ford this year. The committee on public health and safety killed the measure and won't report it out .. Despite its failure to pass essential legislation and continuous stalling all along the line the House this week named a committee to arrange for the final session day celebration. To paraphrase an old saying-while Connecticut citizenry seethes and burns. legislators will make merry in the very halls from which are sup posed to emerge the laws that make us the envied peoples of this world

FAIR PAY FOR
HONEST SERVICE

While Congress is passing a
salary increase pay of $4,000 and
yet preventing the passage of an
FEPC Bill to give the underpriv-
ileged a decent pay for honest
toll. there must be something rad
ically wrong with our democratic
way of life. The following wire
was sent to Cong. John M. Coffee,
Democrat, of the 9th District, Sat
urday, June 9Th. just when the
FEPC was ready to come out of
the committee: 1.-THE passage of
the FEPC will give a new mean
ing of democracy for 13 million
Negroes in America, to earn a liy-
Ing wage for honest service, when
fitted, Signed: Arthur L. Hayes"
1t Is definitely up to the DEM
ocrats to see that this bill and
others become law as they have
complete control of both houses.
We do not expect 1907 support
of Republicans or Democrats on
anything as all questions have two
sides, wrong side and right side.
But it does seem only reasonable
that 13 million Negroes can not
be all wrong when they want to
earn a living in the country of
their birth.
