Representative Russell of West Hartford Tells Women Voters State Is Going in Hap hazard Fashion.

Connecticut's system of govern
 ment is outworn, it's business methods
 are about as good as those of the
 stone age and the next legislature
 will be demanded to change them and
 adopt code that will remedy things
 as they now are, according to Prof. J. r. Chamberlain of Columbia Uni
 versity and Representative Thomas w. Russell of West Hartford, in their
 addresses to the Connecticut League
 of Women Voters in their school of
 citizenship held this past week Mr. Russell is a member of the commits sion appointed by Governor Lake to study a code to govern the state de- partments while Professor Chamber lain is head and founder of the Leg
 islative Drafting Research Bureau. Professor Chamberlain said that the idea of reform in state institutions had been developing because of two factors. First, the proportion of each citizens income, which was being taken by taxation, was now great enough to bear hard upon his pocket nerve, and through that nerve set him to thinking how economy could be achieved and his taxes lessened Sec ond, because the development of state activities of control, through such
 bodies as public utility and labor com missions, through the extension of the states welfare activities, better insti- tutions, highway department and oth- CTS, have compelled the average citi- zen to interest himself in the prompt
 and capable dispatch of state busi- ness.
 "These two factors," he said, "have been at the basis of the movement for consolidating state agencies, and have served to accelerate public opinion to the extent of carrying through com plete reorganization in several states. But reorganization is only means to
 an end That end is first and fore most, efficiency, secondly, economy Neither can be achieved unless the scattered bureaus and offices are put
 in the right department and organ
 ized in the right way. But a pre-
 requisite to this is an accurate knowl-
 edge of what is the function of each
 bureau or department, that is, what is
 it intended to accomplish"
 MT. Chamberlain then gave several
 illustrations of how function should
 be studled, dwelling principally on the

NEW LAW BALKS FISHERS ON LAKES
 AND PONDS NOW
Act of Last Legislature, Little Known, Delays Season
 Month.

Hundreds of workers throughout Connecticut who had planned to spend today fishing in the lakes or ponds of the state found themselves up against a new law and liable to arrest if they took a chance
 For, though it isn't generally known among the trout and pickerel and black bass seekers, an act was passed at the last session of the leg islature that forbids fishing of any kind in the lakes and ponds of the state during the present month.
 The new law, which has not appar- ently been impressed upon the rod and reel devotees, follows:
 "The close season for fishing in lakes and ponds shall be from Feb ruary first to April goth, both inclu- sive"
 The law cuts the trout-season short a month, as 1t was possible last year to invade the various lakes and ponds in search for the speckled beauties starting April I. It Is like ly, though, that many a trout has been coaxed from the still waters of Connecticut by fishermen who were unintentionally breaking one of the new fish and game alws.
 According to the new book of laws on fishing, the trout season, other than from lakes and ponds, starts April I and closes June 30, which makes it possible for the trout fish ermen to visit now the running waters of the state in search of his speciality.
 The close season for lake trout, ac- cording to a law passed at the last legislature, is from October I to April 30 and the minimum length is 10 inches.
 Fishing for black bass is open from July to April 30 but, according to the above law, black bass cannot be hauled from lakes and ponds during the present month. Pickerel or wall eyed pike may be landed from May I to January 3I.

BUSINESS RELATIONS
With JAPAN BETTER

Toxic, Sept. 19-C. H. Huston, as
slstant secretary of commerce, who is
making a world tour on the U. S. S
Mojave in the interests of American
trade, in discussing his visit to japan
said:
ANY opinion I might express or
Japanese affairs and conditions must
be more or less promised upon impres.
sions hurriedly obtained. Some things
however, are patent on their face.
'The Washington conference reac-

for more cordial business relation.
Business men in both countries have
been responsible for misunderstand-
ings in the past
TRADE balances have been running
against Japan for many months and
the best informed are not hopeful that
an early change for the better is like
ly. This means that her purchasing
power in the United States cannot be
materially increased and may have to
be curtai1ed
"Other countries are making pain
stalking efforts to acouaint the Japan
ese industries with the technical ma
chinery and labor saving devices they
have to sell. I have found some of
our people here abreast of the times
but more business could be done if
our people gave more study to con-
ditions. The world war has impress
sed Japan that nations are not en-
tirely self-contained and that Japan
should take advantage Of present fcor6
ditions and join hands with America
on a permanent friendly and mutual
ly helpful basis.
ssJapan's factories are handicapped
by practices and customs brought
down from the feudal era, and with
some less efficiency than is found
IN America. I see no imminent dam

pamphlets and catalogues which are

they have become a target for criti-
