CHAIN BKOiDCASTI\G

Chain broadcasting Is being de-
veloped at quite a rapid rate, de-
spite the evident reluctance OF many
broadcasters to take up the new
idea. AS one commentator has said,
they have had to accept the prin-
cple whether they liked it or wheth-
er they wished to avoid 1t.
The public is hard to please in a
field where competitive stations

pendence upon local endeavor for
all OF the programs of necessity
failed to compete with the develop
ment Of public demands and expec-

It having been impossible for the
average single broadcaster to foot

connection by land wires with other
stations has proved the logical next
step Thus We find from ten TO
dozen stations hooked up on occa.
sion; in the case Of big national af-
fairs the hoob-up has been thirty
stations or moro.
This is . species of local service
which the broadcasters are tusti-
lied in emphasizing 10 the radio
commission should the time come
When II Is necessary to prove to

The commission so far has empha-
sized the importance of local sta

tons must do more 20 satisfy their
clientele. The chain hook-up is a

IN the next few years. At any event.

such chain could not very well

STATE APPROPRIATIONS

Senator Hall, who has a great deal
the appropriations and the estimat-
Cd Income during the next two
years, has been at pains to empha-
size that his committee has seen to
it that the appropriations will not
be more than the estimated income
OF the state during that time.
This is a typical Hallmark. No
matter how the Legislature feels
about spending money. the financial
chairman insists that more money Is
not appropriated than Is In sight
This plan has its good points, Of
course: it is like having a budget
aud sticking to 1t. A budget other
wise Is useless circumference.
Senator Hall has put the New
Britain system Of keeping accounts
into the statehouso. The hardware
clty's finances are looked upon as a
model throughout the remainder OF
the state. and the state can we'll
fashion its finances after the system
which Senator Hall has been % in
fluontal in generating In his native
city.

BORiH AND BUTLER

Nessrs. Borah and Butler had

symphony hall in Boston was "en-
tirely sold out" standing room was

phrases dawdle1 over the radio and
it is hoped somebody In this vicinity
got every word OF /, from the minor
Boston and Providence stations

Most citizens, however, who may

repeal of the 18th amendment

!ican platform. viii read all they
reed to know about the debate in

the debate will settle anything may

watch their step If they think the
prohibition question is entirely set
tied as 1t stands. 1t is undeniable
that Butler represents the thinking
OF a large minority of Republicans
in the east; a majority In New Eng
land He represents the wet ring
which is not and will not be salts
fled TO have the national managers
pussyfoot on a question which they
deem the most important issue be-
fore the people. This. however, they
nnquestionably will attempt to DO,
as in all probability will be abund-
antly proved at the next Republican
convention.
Borah represents the dry wing in
the Republican party and there Is I
no denying that he represents 1t
ably. This is the wing which has had |
the power to decide national poll
cies, national issues. which has writ
ten perfunctory law enforcement
planks In the national platform ever
since prohibition was part of the /
law. 1t Is to avoid continuation OF
this perfunctory ence-straddling
that Butler has been impressing his
ideas upon the party; with very lit

it may be added.

The MONEY FOR SIDE ROADS

Both the state senate and house
having passed the million dollar
road bill, it remains to be Sc
seen whether the country towns Will
get as much as some OF them expect
20 get. The governor. Of course is
4Xpeeted 20 sign the bill
The money will be apportionod
-ccoraing to the annual taxes col
lactad by the towns, thanks TO the
influence OF Senator Hail, who had
lis axe ready to decapitate the or
iElnal plan 10 disburse the money
on basis Of the grand lists. How
this works out is a little compl;cat-
ID: Those towns collecting $4,000
or less, in taxes to receive seven
eighths of thu cost Of the roads
from tho state; those collecting
more than 100000 in taxes to re-
c.ive four-ilfths OF the costs Of the
roads from the state. In either case
the state will be an angel to
great deal Of road building If and
provided the small towns can raise
enough ambition and money to pro-
duce their com paratively slight
share Of the costs.
The law, when it becomes such,
may not do as much good as is ex-
rectcd. but 1t will help a little, at
any rate. A million dollars Is not
much money considering the costs
Of modern roads, even the sort
usually deemed good enough for the
hinterlands.
While We are on this subject,
how many millions are the cities in
Connecticut going TO spend for the
paving of their minor streets? Some
OF them are in worse condition than
country roads

AGREEMENT BY THE PRESS

Virtually all the newspapers agree
that the denial OF new trial in the
Sacco- Eanzeti case in Massachu-
sotts. purely on legal and technical
grounds having nothing in common
with the evidence, should be cir
cumlocuted by the governor and
council so that thora he no chance
Of executing the two men without
another trial.
The two men were to be sem
fenced today. Immediately there
after Governor Fuller should net

being asked; merely the right to
another trial in the light Of what
appears TO be new and important
evidence. This should not require
much mental cxrrtion on the part

telephone was regarded as "a mere
toy and 1t was with difficulty that
anyone was found willing to invest
hard-earned money in Its future.
Television may have the same his
tory. or again, 1t may be first-class
flop. Everyone Is convinced b. now
that the thing can be done; but the
division OF opinion is reached when
1t is debated, what good will it do?
How can television be used in prac-
