the careful and scientific statement of your favorable reports should be freely furnished as an economical and wise precaution of first importance. Free public employment agencies; free text books in the public schools; woman suffrage In municipal matters; and additions to public institutions will press for your consideration. The con- mlttee appointed to revise the statutes of Connecticut will report to you some needed changes in existing laws.
 1t can safely be said that no general assembly in recent years has had more important and troublesome questions to answer than you will have but I be- lieve that the state has in you a repre- sentative and intelligent body of men, determined to do your whole duty without delay or intentional error Connecticut should have the best of ev- erything, for the best is the cheapest, but the best cannot be attained as long as public officers are looked upon as state or party charities. The state, like any other corporation, is most eco- nomicaIly managed by paying well sor experienced and able service and the employment of no more than is neces- sary. A strict and unbending adher- ence to this rule will meet with the hearty approval of our constituents. Yours is certainly an opportunity to set an example that will be of inestimable benefit to yourselves and your success sors, as we'll as to the commonwealth, It is as much your duty to be present during session hours as it is the duty of the farm hand or mechanic to give full time to his employer. An adjournment for want of quorum reflects no credit upon the highest deliberative body of sovereign state, and it is a positive wrong to the members who are present and ready to do their duty.
 You will no doubt resolve to make this short session, a courageous, hard working and exceedingly careful ses- sion. It is in your power to keep that resolution to the letter, and leave rec ord that will be the best as well as the first In the twentieth century.
 Connecticut is as honestly governed as any state in the Union. The credit of Connecticut is as good as, if not bet ter, than that of any other state in the Union The general prosperity of the people of Connecticut is not now ex- celled by that of the people of any oth- CT state It is 8 condition to be proud of. and it is also a condition to be care ful of.
 From fifteen to twenty thousand pub- lie statues are enacted in the United States every legislative year. and near ly half of this great number are direct repeals or amendments of existing la WIS. If you have a reasonable doubt of the accuracy of your diagnosis of the civic diseases brought to your at- tention you will escape censure if you leave the patient to the untrammeled efforts of nature.
