MIR. RORABACE
OF CONNECTICUT
(Springf1eld Union)


 With a remarkable candor which may not be well understood out side of Connecticut, the Hartford Courant definitely connects h e career of the Legislature just ad- icurned with J, Henry Roraback. chairman of the Republican State Committee. Usually in other states, and we should say normally in all, the Legislature is one thing and the either party another. It should be explained, therefore, that in Con- necticut 1t appears to be different. Otherwise 1t might seem 10 outsiders ant to speak of Mr. Roraback as the Legislature.
 It should be explained also that the Courant is not doing this to be offensive 10 Mir. Rorahack or 10 criticize the Legislature which has just completed its work according to Mir. Roraback. On the other hand. 1t says in all seriousness that ''it is many years since the Republican party had leader as effective" as hr. Roraback. This might give the impression that Mir. Roraback is a novelty. But he isn't. In fact, we believe 1t Is many years since the Republican party in Connecticut had any other leader, notwithstand- ing the inclination of large pro- portion of the Republicans of Con- nscticut to have another
 The Courant appears to be as correct as it is naive in proudly identifying the Connecticut Legisla- ture as Mir. Rorabaek. According to the quiet observations and openly expressed opinions of many people over the border what the Legisla- ture did was what Mir. Rorabaek did. Some of the Republican lead CTS in Hartford County 1t is alleged, had offended him because they op- posed his choice for United States Senator and these leaders did not get committee appointments.
 As is well known also Mr. John I. King, Republican leader in Bridgeport, has long been a.thorh in the Roraback flesh. The LegisIa- ture, therefore. passed a so-called ripper bill'' 10 impair the local gov ernment of Bridgeport. At least. so Bridgeport alleges and the nature of the bill seems to bear it out. Sim liar punishment seems 10 have been visited upon New Haven County. where the Republican organization is anti i-Roraback.
 Quite as naive as the Courant's Identification of the Connecticut Legislature as Mr. Roraback Is its statement that, if because of all the Republican outcry being made MT Roraback should in disgust throw up the chairmanship of the Republi- can State Committee, nothing could be more unfortunate for the party. The general opinion, however seems to be that if mlsfortunes eoms 10 the party in Connecticut 1t wont be because MT. Roraback voluntarily throws up his job. There are those who say that he never has behaved az if he had any such feeling. Why should he? The Courant admits with cheerfulness and pride that Mir Roraback is the Legislature and thai should be enough to make him i'm portant even If not unanimously sp' | preciated.

A TOURIST HIGHWAY

The Ansonia Sentinel brings for ward the neat point that a trunk line highway need not necessarily traverse built up territory and con meet important cities but can build ; up virgin territory,
 In attempting 10 prove its thesis here is the reasoning of the Ansonia paper.
 r is hard to maintain that
 through-1ine highway connect
 ing any important points in this
 state, is unnecessary. You cant
 always tell by the looks of the
 country through which il
 masses. For instance, take the
 proposed trunk line highway
 along the east bank of the
 Housatonic from Derby 10 SieY-
 enson dam, and then on to New
 Milford. It was Onc~of the
 rroiects when elimination from
 the trunk line system was at
 tempted. IL does pass through
 sparscly settled territory, to he sure, But it passes what would
 be, if 1t had highways to get
 there. offe of the great summer
 resorts Of Connecticut. Com nleted. ii would afford a grcat outlet from this region to the
 Berkshires and the Adirondacks.
 Ii ought to he built. The truth
 of this is proved by the use that
 is made now of other highways,
 passing through as sparscly set
 tied territory, seemingly as
 much open to criticism. We
 want them all, subject of
 course, to our financial limita-
 tions.
 This would be placing a trunk lin highway project in the class O nioneer railroad building. When ou lrans-continental railroads wer constructed they traversed wild ter ritory which could not produce suf fcient business to maintain the line for generations. To spur capital l. flow into such enterprises the gov ernment made gifts of enormou stretches of land along the tracks the usual method being to give tn railroads every other section" Q land. In this way the potential in crease in value of the land in tn long run went far toward repaEin the intrepid capitalists for thei risks. Some of the western rail roads still own considerable of thi land. and when they sell it is a enormous profits.
