HELP KURN HATTIN.

For nearly twenty-five years the New
England kurn llattin Homes have been
quietly doing a much needed work. In
the earlier years there were times when
the financial outlook was so dark that
it looked as if the work must he given
up. But brighter days came and the

grown to such an amount that the life

or late years, until the war came on,
income and expenses fairly balanced.
Notwithstanding the great increase in
the cost Of everything, the Homes have
continued to do about the usual amount
of work. And this has been done al.
though the receipts have failed by con
siderable to keep up with the increased
cost of living. That has meant only
one thing, an annual deficit since then.
Something must be done. The alterna-
tives are less work, with greater need
than ever, or special effort to secure
additional funds. 1t seems an absolute.

LEGISLATIVE DoINGs.

The Legislature of 1919 is beginning
to get its stride and accomplish things.
Probably the greatest activity at pres
cnt Is rushing in new bills before the
open season for bills closes next Tues
day hut final action has been taken on
some important matters. Yesterday
the house passed in concurrence the
senate bill giving the women the same
rights as men to vote for presidential
electors. This is as far as the state
can go in granting full suffrage to
women until the state constitution has
been amended placing woman on the
same level as man in rights of citizen.
ship. This undoubtedly viii be done
as soon as the constitution allows the
change TO be made.
Among the important bills introduced
is one hy Senator Tenney Of this county
appropriating $4,000 for compensation
Of county farm agents, home demon
stratim agents and boys and girls
clubs agents. This we believe is step
in the right direction but are not GER
tain hat the state can afford separate
leader for boys and girls club work in
each county. II would seem as though
two county agents, one for farm work
and the other for home demonstration
work would be sufficient for county
oil he n1.,. .nl a L.
state should maintain at present.
The bill creating a state highway
commission and aboishing the Office of
highway commissioner has also been in
troduced. In place of the highway com
missioner the bill would create q state
highway board consisting Of the COVER.
nor. the state engineer and one other
member appointed by the governor. Al
state money for highway purposes is
to be expended in the construction OF
state roads or trunk lines and the
towns in which they are built must
maintain the improved roads Town ali.
thoritles are deprived of any voice re
gardng the construction of these state
roads. An appropriation of $4,000 is
made for the purpose of making sur
vcy of the state and preparation of n
general plan of highway construction
To be submitted to the next legislature.
The towns undoubtedly will oppose
giving mp their voice in the selection
of roads to be improved and the con
struction of such roads by town author-
tiles. But such a change would be sim
ply another step towards a better sys-
TEN OF road construction, the same as
the adjustment of road districts in the
town was. 1t will be advantageous 10
the state if its lawmakers are ready TO
take this step The necessity of OK
pending 100000 for survey and re-
port of system of road building is
not so clear The present highway com.
missioner and state engineer know what
roads need Improvement and the local
conditions that would largely determine
the nature of work TO hc done. II
would seem better business to utilize
this knowledge and put the greater part
of the 100000 into better roads rather
than into report. Undoubtedly there
will be a big fight over this measure
but we confidently expect n better poll
cy for state highways will finally
emerge from the struggle.
