ILLINOIS AT THE DOOR

According to a writer for the As- sociated Press, Illinois is in for a seyen-year period with only one senator in the upper house. It all depends upon whether the governor sticks by his refusal not to appoint another in place of Frank l.. Smith. Judging from the pointed remarks of Governor Small, he'll stick by his vow.
 Perhaps it will not make much difference-to the Senate. States have survived misrepresentation of none at all before this. Delaware has history of amazing non-repre- sentation in the Senate due to politi- cal warfare in the state; but all of this happened in the gay 90's and Jagged over into the new century, the excitement since having died down. The southern states after the Civil War had seven years of non- representation in the Senate and managed to worry along during that time.
 Returning to Illinois, it looks as if the large sum of money that was spent to elect Smith will go wasted If the state simply must have a rep resentatiye of the Insult power in. terests in the Senate why doesn't the governor confer with Insul] and make an appointment?

BUYING UP BUSES

Money talks, and the New Haven railroad is making it talk nine diff ferent languages. Getting back on it's financial feet means more to the road than paying up government in debtedness or threatening to pay dividend on common stock. It means a willingness to spend something for the latest and newest monopoly it Is out to obtain-that of a monopoly of the intercity bus business.
 Some independent bus entrepre- leurs got into the field ahead of the railroads subsidiary, the New Eng land Transportation Company. Con- scquently they obtained the fran- now is the business of the railroad, having gone into the bus business, 10 obtain the routes. As previously stated, money is doing the talking and Is getting the routes.
 The latest independent bus sys- tenn purchased clearly indicates the policy or the railroad subsidiary. Sale of the Waterbury Jitney X -raxis, Inc, to the subsidiary of the railroad q franchise between Water bury and New Haven one of the best bus franchises in the state. The independent operators of the line were doing well, but that mattered little to the ailroad-merely meat- ing the payment of more money than had the independents been do- ing not so we'll
 The next move rumored is an at- tempt to gain control of the com- rany operating buses between Wa erbury and Bridgeport. That shouldn't be difficult, considering the power of the railroad to pay the right price.
 The independent operators whc gre being induced to sell out 10 the railroad must be given the credit Tor having had a firm vision as to where transportation business could be developed. and at a time wher the railroad scoffed at the new de yelopment. They gained public es teem by giving good service. Th' hourly schedule between Waterbury and Bridgeport far surpassed rail road service off tbe main line. Tho New Haven, on tile other hand, is tt be commended for having seen tn. .rror of it's former policy Of aloof ness and disdain: it made a mistake and is acknowledging it. The public will not care who operates the bu lines so long as it is properly done.

STILLS

In he-nan literature of the past stills were mentioned only in con- nectiOn with the ha habitational cus- toms of Kentucky mountaineere; men who fought an unceasine war fare with government revenue agents; men who refused to admit that the government had the inher- ant right to tax corn products Of the mountain districts.
 No one ever dreamed that the time would come when stills would be come common in the more civil ize1 portions Of the country.
 The prohibition law has made Ii possible and profitable to operate such appliances. however: and this of itself would not be so bad in some respects were it not for the fact that stills explode with astonishing celer- ity. It requires an accomplished mechanic, a still technician in fact, to operate one of the things success fully. Operating a furnace on Q cold day is tots play i'll comparison.

BuLBOARDS

Once upon a time the learned leg islators passed . law. in this state regulating" the billboards, The bill board interests objected strongly, claiming their business would be completely ruined.
 X species of compromise was ef- fected; the billboard boys were dubi- ous, but there was no further argu- ing with the "Connecticut farmers, :" as the New Workers in the business doubtless regarded them.
 And how the billboard business has been ruined. Last year there were only 1900 new billboards erected in the state. bringing the to- tai number on display up to 6.169. The total square feet of licensed ad- vertising on Connecticut buildings and signs along the highways now total 2,64e,T66 square feet; the pre- vious year the total was about 500,- 900 square feet less.
 The situation needs more serious attention than the Legislature gave it. The highways are being clogged with these destroyers of scenery. Many of the billboards are near curves. interfering with the view ahead. Practically all of them are blotches of garish ugliness upon the landscape.
 There is only one proper way to handle the obnoxious billboard situ- ation, and that is to make their use illegal. They are public nuisances.

MEAT INSPECTION

Federal inspection of meat is only required when the meat is brought into the state from another state in which the animals were killed. This leaves locally killed meat without federal inspection. That has to be at- tended to by the local authorities.
 Local authorities are supposed to be more efficient than federal au- thorities. The supposition after all is merely a supposition. Nobody, per haps, knows whether this is the case throughout the entire state.
 The cheaper grades of locally kill ed meat throughout New England are purchased mostly by poor peo- pie. Such meat Is entitled to as thorough an inspection as the higher grades brought into the state from elsewhere.
 An investigation was made Of some smaller slaughtering houses in Massachusetts, places in very small towns where cattle are slaughtered for local consumption. Of course, we suppose conditions are vastly better in Connecticut: but at that, we do not know, no investigational report being on hand to prove the conten- ton.
 Anyway, in Massachusetts Dr. Francis H. Rowley. president of the M. s. P. c. A.. was quoted as saying the conditions ill smaller slaughter houses throughout the state are "abominable." In many small towns, he said, the local inspectors have not sufficient knowledge and training to be able to select good meat. Their salaries are 50 low as not to stimu- late them to much effort.
 AS stated, we believe conditions in the small towns of Connecticut are better. But then, that is only a be- lief.
