Local Governments Have DUTY.

II no did not place transit first.
the Governor was asked, in what order
or relative Importance he would naue
the problems his administration has
tackled He answered:
III put first the questioned an econon,t-
cal administration OF the State govern
ment. That 10 my mind is the biggest
thing-to put the business of the State
on business basis. We have only got
started on that. i hope we may be able
to continue and make progress, but you
know progress is awfully slow. We do
things by starts.
Merely keeping the appropriations
down this year won't do it. That is only
one step. ! hope we can make a good
deal OF progress. first. in the State adj
ministratiou. and then undoubtedly the
local governments need to be looked
after They need TO look after them
selves. The State has some responsible
ties. Or course, the expense OF the local
government is the great burden Of direct
taxation. The great burden in direct
taxes comes from local administration
and the local administrations need to
economfze as much as we do at Albany
The truth is that in the actual total the
State taxes are d very small item. Now
all we have done this year is to stop the
increases"
How about next year,"
II don't know. We have got to go
one step at time. People may be DIS
appointed when they pay their tax bills.
They may find they are as big as they
are now"
You put that first, transit second.
and water power. third?'
The port development problem is one
angle Of a still bigger problem that
confess ! can only see the solution OF
by degrees. and that slowlyt--hat Is,
the great problem of food distribution.
That Is one OF the big problems.
The port problem in New York Is
linked with that. There is the greatest
centre Of population in this country,
with, suppose. the most expensive
methods Of distribution OF any place In
the world. 1t ought to be the finest
market for the producers in the country
and It Is the poorest The producers
the farmers in New York State. don't
send their products to New York If they
can help It.
"As result New York suffers. II
ought not to be So The port IL one
angle Of the thing. Proper storage and
warehousing Of food products is another
element which undoubtedly can only be
brought about in the proper way by
bringing out BY degrees cooperation in
marketing. These various angles OF that
thing all present great problems, and
you can only accomplish a little at a
time. 40 little that sometimes ii don't
look as though 1t were worth while. but
you have TO keep pegging away, because.
after all, the world was not made in a
minute
w. Ward Smith. secretary to the Gov
ernor. had come into the study bearing
an armful of letters and showing much
concern because the Governor was CIV
ing up so much time when he might be
signing letters and documents. Mr.
Smith listened for few moments He
said he knew from his experience in the
lumber business that New York was an
emergency market and asked whether

Organization stands Loyal.

Are you getting support from the
Republican State organization? DO the
politicians like your kind OF hewing on
the economy liner
There have not been objections from
tho organization; have had party sup
port generally. The ones who do not
like economy are those who arc hit by
the concrete application or the principle
to the particular thing. That is where
the individual interest enters"
And that is where the organization
comes in," was suggested. The Cover
nor smiled before he answered.
What I say does not apply to places
merely. to political jobs. but to every
line. The big item in cutting down ex-
penses is in maintenance of institutions
and new construction. Managers OF
institutions are all strong for economy.

MACHINE GO. FIVE
 COPS CHAMPIONSHIP
Stanley Works Team Helps by
 Defeating Corbin.

dustrial Basketball league Saturday 1 night at the State Armory, when the 1 New Britain Machine company by virtue of a victory over the Stanley Rule and Level company. and the de- l feat of the Corbin five at the hands of the Stanley Works team, copped the championship. The final games were intensely interesting, and both contests were battled to the finish. The defeat of the Corbin quintet was a surprise. and a shock to the follow CTS of the team. The Stanley Work CTS team has been going badly or several weeks. and there was little hope held out for their recovery. However, with the management ex- ercising good Judgment in the selec- tion of the team, it was a formidable five that opposed last years cham pions. Captan Pelletier and his boys were at their best. the work of Grob- stein. Anderson, Schroeder and PeI- letter was exceptionally good.
 The lowly Stanley Rule and Level team gave the new champions a bat tie that waxed warm until the final minutes. when the Machinists by a great burst of speed overcame a lead. and with two field goals took the
 
 the gonfalon. Arrangements are under way for a. series between the New Britain Ma chine company champions and the | Pratt and Whitney champions of the l Hartford Industrial league. If plans l work out successfully, the first game will be played here next Saturday | night.
 The kaceys and the New Britain Machine company are scheduled to open series for tho city champion ship on Tuesday night of next week. The summaries of Saturday nights games follow:
