Solomon had felt for his spectacles
and now. adjusting them on his
nose. he scrutinized her closely. She
felt that her Gaelic features must
surely betray her. and behind her
back she clasped and unclasped her
hands. but she continued to smile
bravely. She was afraid to speak.
There was a moment OK total
silence, while her lips grew dry and
parched. Then Able. trying in vain
to read the expression on his fathers

then as he saw RoseMary's smile
fade. caught the look Of bewilder.
ment which spread across her face.
he added quickly: Dad, | want you
to meet "a very dear friend Of
mine."
He seized Rose Mary's hand and
led her toward his father.
But Solomon still gazed at the
vision before him with an intentness
hard to diagnose.

with a reluctant smile.
Able ignored this question. tried to
bury 1t under a quick avalanche OF
talk.

hospital. and she took care of me"
This beginning seemed merely to
cause his father more anxiety.
Able saw in a flash what he was
thinking: "Oi. oi-vun Of dem

Spouse which followed showed that
his father had not received this ex-
!anation in any too jubilant way.
''Iss dod so?" muttered Solomon.
"Yes-yes. in France"
Rosemary spoke this time. smiling
sweetly up at him. She was begin.

her critically.
Both she and Able, exchanging
glances, were at a loss what to say.
Then Solomon's face lightened.
"A trained noize. perhaps. Dod's

tion.
 Finance
 Within certain Limitations neces sarily inherent In corporation charged with governmental func tions. there seems no reason why [ state may not. to it's advantage, avai itself of many of the modern meth ods of finance which are approved by the best business practice and experience.
 Balancing the Budget
 Two years ago the legislature upon recommendation of the gover. nor. accepted this principle in the adoption of sound fiscal policy which experience seems to have amply justified. You will recall that this fiscal policy involved program of appropriations estimated and linn ited in advrnce. upon the basis of expected income. This process, one of the most elementary in private enterprises Is known in business terminology as balancing the bud get It mean that the state ex- bends or appropriates no more than may be reasonably expected to &C., crue in the way of income. as this reasonable expectation Is estimated by the board of finance.
 It Is sound, economic principle to pay as you go. Such a principle means that the legislature may make appropriations for proper purposes, with confidence that the money will | be available to meet such appropria- tions. On the other hand, it imports that any extravagant suggestions fall of their own weight, by reason of the Limitations of the budget.
 The worth of such a program, to my mind, needs no further demon stration. I believe that this year the principle should be carried out to it's l logical conclusion. We all know that the estimates of the board of finance are subject to a considerable varia- tion. dependent, not only upon con- ditions of general prosperity, but upon may unforeseeable conditions. Inheritance taxes, for instance. pre- sent large differences, dependent upon the value of estates subject to taxation. Income from public utili- ties is dependent upon operations and values beyond the control of the state. Taxes based upon stock values may vary widely for causes non n-exis- tent at the time of the original esti- mate. A combination of many factors may operate to produce, in certain years, an income largely in excess of the estimate. In other years, the in- come may fall so far short of the estimate as to be productive of em- barrassment in the administration of the states affairs.
 Establishment of Reserve Fund
 A 'pay-as-you-go" policy, to be complete, should provide, so far as possible, against any deficit, even at times, where, for any reoson, the in- come of the state is substantially below the expectations of the bud get. Such a situation is met, in pri- vate business, by placing the surplus
New Britain herald., 1927-01-05

of more prosperous years in re- serve fund. available under proper restrictions, to meet the deficits or an emergency situation which a lean year may present. The situation with the state impresses me as sufficiently analogous so that similar policy is to be desired.
 | I doubt whether thls could be &C., complished without further legisla- tion. therefore urge the passage of such legislation providing for re- serve under the conditions indicated. which reserve shall be under the control of the governor and board of control, to be drawn upon by them when necessary to meet existing appropriations and subject to such other limitations as modern business usage would suggest.
 There Is no act of my administra- tion which l shall view with more pride and satisfaction than the con- tinuance and extension of fiscal policy along the lines have out lined. The result of our beginnings two years ago has been eminently satisfactory. The policy has not only received the approval of economic experts, but has been initiated by legislation in various other states I earnestly urge that there be no de- parture from it in the present ses- sion.
 Capital Expenditures
 Along the same lines, also, I recommend that in making appTo- priations for capital expenditures, the legislature bear in mind that any such expenditure carries with 1t an absolute requirement. for sufficient revenue for maintenance and operat- ing expenses. The results of all such expenditures should be carefully in quired into, and If the capital so in vested is not self maintaining, a per manent source of revenue should be provided to meet such expense. It is not sound policy to increase the capital resources of the state unless
New Britain herald., 1927-01-05

, further or revised legislation whicE
 changed conditions or the norma , development of our state institutions l may render, expedient.
 When. as in the present instance the personnel of the executive de-
 partment has remained substantially unchanged since your last session the opportunities for observation and for testing the efficacy of existing
 Legislation are such that the message
 of the governor may be said to have
 a considerable practical value in
 guiding your deliberation. That sit-
 uation, however, does not always
 exist In the normal course of our
 political machinery. the governor
 frequently assumes office less than
 two months prior to the date when,
 by the custom mentioned. he is ex-
 pected to advise your honorable body
 upon the state of government
 Under such conditions the value
 of his information and recommenda-
 tions is necessarily limited by his short experience and by his restrict
 ed opportunities for familiarizing himself with any of the details of the great business which he has been Ecalled upon to administer. And yet, even on such occasions, both by cus- tom and courtesy. announcements of the governor to this body may be expected to have considerable in 1 fuence upon its policies.
 Change in Legislative Procedure
 Upon more informal occasion than the present, I have already ex- pressed the opinion which I now re- peat, that the value of the governors message might be considerably en- thanced through a change in our Legislative procedure. I cannot but feel, also that the effectiveness of your legislation might by the adop- ton of such a change, be materially i increased.
 Concretely, the suggestion Is that the legislature convene in January ] of the odd years only for the purpose o of organization, for the appoint Imcnt of necessary committees, and i for the transaction of such emer- gency legislation as may seem requi- site; that the legislature then ad- iourn for a period of some months, and reconvene for the purpose of hearing the governors message and for action upon 'lch of his recom- imendations and such of the sbills itheretofore submitted as shall seem necessary and desirable. Such a course would, it seems to me, tend rather to shorten the legislative ses- sions than to lengthen them. It would, moreover, serve to insure to the state, executive recommendation made only after an adequate oppor- tunity for investigation which, under the present system. is not often pos sible. It would insure, also, oppor- Itunities for deliberation, investiga- ition and consideration of proposed legislation which is impossible un- der a procedure where action must necessarily follow close upon the heels of proposals which often merit close scrutiny and serious considera-

 The text of the governors 4s- l. sage follows;
 MT. President, MT. Speaker and
 Members of the General Assembly:
 The state constitution provides that the governor shall, from time to time, give to the general assembly information of the state of the gov ernment, an1 recommend to their consideration suci. measures as he shall deem eXpedient. By custom such information and recommenda- tions are presented at the opening session of the legislature. It was not, l apprehend, the intent of the framers of the constitution that by this means the executive department should seek to i lpose it's will upon the legislative branch of the govern mont It is true that the functions of the three sub divisions of the state are necessarily distinct. It is also true that no one branch can operate effectively without full coun- sel and cooperation from the other Between sessions of the legislature it is the function of the executive branch of the govern ment to administer the laws. In the course of such administration. the executive will naturally be in a posi- tion to observe the effect of existing law in practice and the necessity for
