Blodgett Outlines Sev. eral Methods Whereby State of Connecticut Could Raise $4,0OO,- 900 For Vets
Additional Taxes on Thea. ters Would Be Included Also Suggests Repeal of Fund for Soldiers.

Hartford, March 17.-State Ia, Commissioner William H. Blodgett in The Times today tells in what man ner s4,0o0,0 900 might be raised tc provide soldiers bonus payment should the bill now before the legis- laturc pass. He mentioned:
 Additional personal tax of $S per person; addition to present corpora ton tax; increase to tax on towns; impose additional taxes on unincor- porated businesses, theatres, etc.; a tax on combination including all the above; or a state bond issue. Said the commissioner:
 Here's Another Plan.
 Another plan would be to curtail expenses to such an extent that the money could be saved. Whether such a curtailment is possible is a matter to be considered by the chairman of the state board of finance or some member of the appropriations com mittee
 If the $4,000,oOo has to be raised favor the plan first suggested, name ly, that the act creating the fund for soldiers be repealed, as would make available funds to meet five-eighths of tho amount necessary to pay the bill. In that event the amount neces- sary to be raised by taxation would be s1,500,000.
 Money Does Not Grow.
 This affords very splendid op- portunity to restate the fact that money does not grow on trees. The state can raise the money but some one would have to pay it. My opin ion is if the bill passes authorizing payment to the soldiers of s4,0o0,0o0 or any other sum, the consumers of the necessities of life, rich and poor alike in the last analysis, will bear the burden each in proportion to the amount which he consumes"

BY CLARENCE c. WILLARD. (Gnacial fn The HAralll

Especial to The Herald).
 Hartford, March 1.-The legisa, tive session of 1923 got well past its half way mark this week when un- favorable reports on several hundred bills were accepted and the bills re- jected and some favorable legislation, mainly private acts concerning cor porations and various towns and cities in the state, were put through. The final hearings of the important committee on the judiciary have been set for next Tuesday with the excep- ton of few contested judgeships and some salary increases, so that after next Tuesday there will be only execu- tive sessions of this committee and the few favorable reports which are to be made will be decided on.
 It is expected that the legislature will adjourn between the first and middle of May. In the meantime, it is more than probable that after next week, Friday sessions will be aban- doned because of the fact that the only reason for the Friday sessions was to facilitate the work of the committees by having hearings on four days a week.
