The Colorads House of Representa- lives has decided to hold three night sessions each week until the calendar is cleared. Connecticut legislators might adopt that plan in order to allow the rural members to have all the time they need in their cornfields next summer. Still, if they could get $7 per day As the Colorado representatives do, our rural members had better hire someone to hoe their corn, but the Connecticut repre- sentatives get only $500 each for the entire session and if it lasts six month as t'e present session promises to do, with four days sessions each week, the compensation is & per day, with Satur- day, Sunday and Monday to the lsgisla- tors own service.

We have been asked by farmer to

We have been asked by a farmer to explain the object of local sections of the Five States Milk Producers Associa- tion, with an idea of interesting North Canaan milk farmers in the subject Local. sections have been formed at Falls Village and Cornwall Bridge, these sections being part of the Housato.ic Valley Milk Association which is itself a part of the Five States Association. D. c. Seeley of Roxbury. Conn. is the di- rector of the Housatonic Valley Asso' citation otherwise known as the New Haven Route Union and he has person ally explained to the Falls Village and Cornwall milk producers the objects oi the associations and we are quite 10th to attempt to try to do any of Mir Seeley E work, but pending an invitation from North Canaan farmers to Mir Seeley to visit them we will try to oblige our friend. the farmer.
 From printed matter and other state ments furnished us we gather that the objects of the Five States union are to establish fair prices for milk in co-opera- ton with the buyers of milk; to regulate the supply so as to adapt it to the de- mand and to mitigate the evils of the surplus; to insure justice to the pro- ducers in freights, commissions, etc.. and to promote whatever changes or re- forms are necessary to insure milk oi the best quality to the consumer. The object of the Route Association is to at tend to matters relative to the transpor- tation of milk along it's route. The ob jects of the local unions areas we un- derstand them-to form organizations to look out for local interests and to carry out the objects of the central as- sociation. Membership dues are $1.
 A syndicate has been formed in New York to take the milk of the unions at a guaranteed price Ia fair one) for the year. The manner of procedure of the local unions hereabouts is to have every member of the union sign blanks giving the power of attorney to B. G. Seeley of Roxbury to sell their milk at 8 cents per quart for three months, 2t cents for six months, and 9 cents for three months.
 Thlrty-two or more farmers have join. ed the Falls Village union, and if North Canaan farmers are interested we would advise them to write to Mir Seeley who can furnish adequate information and advise them as to what course to pur- sue.

shows that the grave of President John

stone. Visitors to Hollywood cemetery
are shown a scarcely perceptible mound
over which a magnolia tree spreads its
shade in summer, as the resting place OF
our tenth president. The burial places OF

For many years the railroad systems
of the country have been going through
the stage of financial reorganization as a
penalty for the reckless and improper
methods of the Cos and 70s. The clear
tendency of the times is TO knit together
yet more closely the whole texture of
the country's railroad system. 1t is not
at all impossible-so swift is the move
ment nowadays of industrial and finan-
cial combination-tha all the railroad
systems of the country might, in the not
very distant future, be amalgamated in
to one great corporate whole. Nor is it
to be taken for granted without careful
thought and study that such consum-
nation would be deplorable The legis-
lative power to regulate railroad rates
has become established in practice and
is firmly upheld by the decisions of the
courts; and the state also possesses the
power of taxation. 1t is not easy TO see,
therefore, how the community can be in
danger of losing its liberties through the
further reduction of the railroad net
work of the country to a complete and
unified system under one harmonious
control From Review of Reviews for
June.
