$50, ,ooo, 900 NEEDED BY
 STATE OF CONNECTICUT
Estimate for Running Expenses-Pre-
 pared for the Legislature

It is expected that the figures for tho estimate of state expenses will be in the hands of the printer this week. These figures are received from the different institutions and departments of the state government. They are compiled and printed in pamphlet form by the officials in the off1ce of the state treasurer for the information and guidance of the general assembly.
 The figures are an indication of the extent of the demands on the legislature for appropriations at the than $30,000,000. The meaning of this statement will be better under stood when it is said that if the de- mandS were acceded to the expenses of the state for the next two years would be s15,000, 900 year. Exclu- sive of bonds sold this is about dou- ble the amount of the expenses of the state for the last fiscal year.
 The demands made this year ex- ceed those of any other session of the general assembly. Nor do they rep resent all the demands for appropria- tions with which the legislators of the session of 1915 will be confronted. In addition there will be a large number of bills for projects which will create expenses. No mention will be made of the amount required to carry out the. purposes of the bills in the draft WHICH Will DC lIITOQuCPu lQIO the gen. eral assembly, It is quite possible that when these are taken mot account the total of the demands will not be less than $S5.000,000 for the two ensuing final years.
 Of course it is not expected that the committee on appropriations will take favorable action on these demands, nor that it will be unInindful of the fact that while the right to make demands on the state treasury is unrestricted, the power to refuse is unlimited.
 The stationery of the committee should contain a large supply of blank forms for unfavorabIe reports
 There are a number of expensive projects involving hundreds of thou sands of dollars. There is the plan for reformatory for females which will cost large. sum, but it is not likely to receive favorable considera- tion. The scEeme to establish a farm for inebriates will be resurrected, but it is not probable that it will be put into effect with the state expenses running over $2,000,00o above the re- ceipts every year.

PENALTY FOR VOTERS
 WHO DO NOT VOTE
Former Senator SpeIIaey Plans 10
 Introduce a Bill in Legislature


 Students of the oficiaI figures of the last election are a-stounded to learn that upwards of 50,0e0 registered vot- CTS in Connecticut did not exercise their franchise. Practical politicians are no less impressed than those who regard the careless attitude of a vot- CT towards the possession of rights of citizenship as bordering upon treason to the state.
 Former Senator Thomas J. Spellacy has stated that he would prepare a bill for introduction in the general
 of suffrage to those who neglect 1t to the extent of not voting in a state or national election, unless possessing one of several valid excuses which
 would be specified From the view point of campaign management, the
 senator said, it was ridiculous that the parties should expend thousands
 of dollars in maintaining party ma chinery, and so large percentage of
 the voters show their complete indif- ference by refusing to vote.
 The senator said he would spend
 some time in Investigating the laws
 of various states in regard to the penalties for failure to vote but he doubted that any state provided for the loss of citizenship. When over of the state neglect to cast their bal lots despite the easy methods of transportation provided in the large centerS by the party committees at party expense, he considered it high time that there should be legislative action.
 The official canvass of the vote for United States senator shows a total of 1S0.S14 cast at the recent elec- ton. The vote for governor is not vet canvassed, but two years ago the total vote for governor was 194.5S1. a difference of 13,767. The total regis tered vote two years ago was 227, I'll. To place it at the lowest possible call culation, 2S0,000 on November 3, the neglect of 50,000 citizens of the state of Connecticut to exercise their fran chise is at once apparent.
 Should Senator Spellacy introduce g, bill at the approaching session there is no doubt that the best minds of the statet would take up the study of what is growing to be a menace, the neglect of the ballot. In recent years there has been talk of allowing vote by registered mail, but the de- VeIopment of the ballot accommoda- tions has not progressed that far yet. A suggestion that has been offered is that the stay t-home voter be com peIled to pay a cash penalty toward the expense of the election.
 Dealing with the subject of the ne- glectful voter is likely to be one of the most important matters before the judiciary committee the coming ses- sion.
