dence of it's final fairness that both employers and ork who have followed the development of the bill into it's present form ind places where they, both sides, tnaC they do not receive quite what they ought to have It would take too much to describe all of these mat ters. Let me give two illustrations. Ther iS state In America which makes the waiting periody fixed n bill; while the average for states little less than ten days On the other hand Connecticut
 makes rather liberal provision of compensation for those employed at extremely low wages specifically those below P5 week: It is much to be hoped grounds of fairness well for the prospects of speedy enact men that each side will not devote itself to finding and exploiting points at which believes itself bit behind to the neglect of the other points at which it bit ahead
 One feature of the bill which gives it merit is the adoption of long list of specific copensations for spe cc injuries especially those in the nature of mamngs such provision tends to reduce the difficult task of s1gng copensations for partial disabilities; and, though there be something of the arbitrary it, the trend of latest practice approves it. The joint commit tees did wisely ordering the bill to include this feature
 One of the few unusual features in the bi this per haps feature not found another state the require ment that upon the death of empoye without depend ets payment 75O shall be made into the state treasury
 to be used toward the expenses of administration This at once helps the cost and tends to discourage the lection of unmarried whose killing might otherwise entail no payment.
 The administration of entrusted Compen saton Commissioners whose general position ter somewhat analogous the position character the Utilities Commissioners Indeed some of the endowing the Compensation Commissioners with their quasi Judicial taken over bodily from the utilities law of 1911.
 Nobody suspects that the pending bill perfect At least of those who have been closely engaged upon has any such suspicious But most if not al of those fairly not for any class or interest but for the reasonable interests of a It would very too bad to have such bill thrown out But those best able to look the future things legislative have no serious n1sgI1ngs They of the opinion that the bill will pass and thus be given chance to prove whether not It meets the need of the state and it's industries

GOVERNOR BALDWIN SETS
 FORTH HIS VIEWS ON THE FINANCES OF THE STATE
(By Our staff corres.)


 Hartford, May S-In connection with Governor BaIdwin's views on the finances of the State. his message to the House yesterday, relative to the proposed State Tax. is of more than passing interest.
 The message has been ordered print ed and sent to the Finance Committee of the General Assembly. It follows:
 gro the Honorable General Assem- bly,: I deem it my duty to call the attention of the assembly at this time to 8 pressing necessity, in view of the appropriations already made, of lay ing state tax on the grand lists of the several towns This Is one of the measures which, in view of the ap- proach of the close of the session, would seem to demand prompt action.
 During the ca1endar ending April 30. 1913. our balance brought forward from the preceding year was reduced by over $2, 50o, ,000
 .On Sept 2, 1912. our cash on hand was nearly $2,2O0. 900. During the sew en months from that date to April So' 191S it was reduced by more than a million dollars.
 ssThe appropriations which your honorable body has thus far made are generally larger than those made for the, same object by the General As semb1y of 1911. while the revenue or the State for the ensuing two years is likely to be less than for the last two
 '.In the treasurer's report to me for the year of September 30, 1912, he re- marked on the fact that we had ln- creased our bonded indebtedness dur ing the preceding five years at the rate of over a million 8 year and rec commended the annual laying of a State tax of not less than three fo11rthe of a mill until our last out standing bonds should be paid. The present treasurer considers 1t neces- sary to make the tax at least one and one-half mills a year for the next two years. I venture to advise 3, tax of two mills 8 year
 '.It Is certainly not in accord with 9. soma financial policy for the State to borrow for it's current expenses in times of peace and prosperity. Un- less the two mill tax were Ia1d sbo,,1d faar that the treasurer would be driven to make use Of the author ity to negotiate further loans which you gave him at the beginning of the session, (SigneO Simeon E.

James A. Patten, the nultt-mi11yon- aire speculator who became an inter- national figure by reason of his sensa- tionaI and profitable wheat and cotton
 corners, was born on an Illinois farm at Ireland Corners sixty years ago today. He was educated in the country schools, and at seventeen went to work as 8. clerk in a rural town store. After two years in such mer- cantile pursuits, he returned to the blow. and for several years was ern- ployed as a "hand' on his grandfa- - ther's farm, at a salary of SIS per month and his ''keep.'' Tn 1874 he went to Chicago to become an employe of the State grain inspection depart ment, and later entered the grain commission business with his brother
 Becoming more and more daring in his specuIa tieRe. he was almost uni formly successful, and his daring wheat and cotton corners made him a millionaire many times over. The Patten cotton corner, it is said, gave him profit of ten million dollars
 MT. Patten was recently convicted of violation of the Sherman antitrust law and was fined $4, 900. The charge was based on the '<bu1l' campaign car ried on by Patten and his associates mer plunger pleaded guilty. while at the same time declaring that in so do- ing he was mot conscious of being guilty of any moral turpitude or of offendtng in the slightest degree

The first national peace association in America, the American Peace So- ciety, was organized in New York s5 years ago today by the amalgamation of a number of State and local socie- ties, the oldest of which, the New York Peace Society, was formed in 1915. The society is still active in working for the cause of peace be- tween nations, and maintains head quarters in Washington. The first English peace society was founded in 1916, and it's centenary will be observ- ed three years hence, in May 1918
 The first international congress of the friends of peace was held in Paris in 1s49, and met in London the following year. MT. Bright and MT. Golden were the most conspicuous. members of the English society. Organizations for the promotion of peace and arbt- ,trat5on now exist in nearly. all nations,

Rear Admiral Robert Potts, U. s. N, was born in Dublin, Ireland, sew enty-eight years ago today, and was educated in New York. He entered the United States Navy, as an en- g1neer and served through the Civil War, becoming chief engineer in 1s73 He retired in 1897, and was afterward given the rank of rear-adm1ral, as a recognition of his Civil War services. Last February the AdmiraFs youngest daughter, Frances, took the veil, de- spite her fathers pleadings, thus fol- lowing the example of her two older sisters. The Potts sisters were very popular in Washington and Baltimore society, and noted for their beauty. As members of the Carmelite Order, the sisters are pledged to a life of si- lence and perpetual prayer.
