BrOadcasting Congress.

 In 1924 the Senate passed resolution call ing upon the Secretaries of War and the Navy to investigate the feasibility of broadeasting the proceedings of Congress by radio The report only recently presented. Such undertak ing would not le possible, it was held, unless much additional equipment purchased An initial expenditure of $3,300,000 would be re qured and annual upkeep and maintenance would come to an additional $l,SS0.0 000 The Army and Navy, it pointed out, do not possess equip ment suitable for broadcasting frequencies ob tainabe by operators of home radio sets and such an undertaking would necessitate the pur- chase of entirely new broadcasting equipment.
 Elsewhere proceedings of legislative bodies have been put on the air with varying degrees of When matters of universal interest being discussed many people avail themselves of the opportunity of following them at first hand. Such occasions rare however The average individual would rather obtain his news through trained reporter. boiled down, with only the essentials presented. No one wants to listen to the monotonous dronings that make up the typical legislative day.
 Probably the expense involved will discourage any further plans to broadcast the proceedings of Congress. Unquestionably such expenditure would not be justified from the standpoint of interest aroused. On the other hand there are times when the nation whole would like to listen to Congressional deliberations Inaugura- tion of new term, for instance, Presidential message, or debate on matters of nationwide inn portance would be received with the greatest interest by millions of radio owners. In this necton it might be possible to lay plans for broadcastng through existing stations. This could be done without a huge expenditure. Ger tain Congressional debates and addresses arouse as much public interest championship prize fight and probably could be broadcast in the same manner The suggestion is worth consideration, both by Congress and by the operators of nation wide chains of broadcasting stations.

Business in Election Years.
lNew York World.l


 It has long been an axiom in commercial circles that election years are bad years for business. By simple statistical exhibit Col Leonard P. Ayres, noted business commenta- tor, shows that this is myth Since 1880 there have been twelve Presidential elections. In six of the years in which such elections occurred business has been better than normal; in one year it fuctuated around normal and in five years it below normal. On the whole, then in years of Presidential elections business has been slightly better than normal.
 Neither the fact of election nor the pros pect of victory for either of the major political parties appears to have been determining n- year intervals. In 1908, for example, when the election of Taft, conservative, was taken for granted, business was depressed, while in 1912, with the Republican Party split in two and with Wilson's election foregone conclusion, business was buoyant In 1916 business was booming although the less conservative cand- date won, but in 1920 and 1924, when the con servatives had wak-over, business happened to be poor. The fluctuations in these years were obviously due to other than political causes
 The Presidential election of this year need not be regarded a possible damper on bus- ness activity Such burning economic questions as the free-silver issue of the nineties are no longer here to disturb Whatever may be the differences this year between the candidates of the two major parties, they will not be such as to upset the national economic equilibrium.

occur in great masses near the surface it has been found economical to strip off the over-burden and remove the ore bearing rock with power shovels. The ore is blasted loose with powerful ex- plosives. As much as a million tons has been broken by one blast.
 Approximately one-third of the world output of copper is now produced from ore obtained by means of power shovels. It has been through the use of such mass-production methods that the ex- ploitation of low-grade ores has been made profitable
 The growth in the use of copper is the outcome of the expansion in auto mobiles, electrical, manufacturers light and power lines and allied industries of communication. Four countries of the world that nave made the greatest pro- gress along these lines are the United States, Germany, France and Great Bri- tain. These countries in the past five years have used more than 80 per cent. of the worlds copper
 Consumption of copper, particularly in the few years immediately ahead, will depend primarily on developments in those nations which in the past have been major consumers.
 In many mines of North and South America absolete machinery has been cold bloodedly scrapped with the deve- opment of cost-cutting machinery. Tech niqne has become applied science The position Of the United States in the world copper market has been determin- cd by series of concurrent develop ments namely industrial growth in this country, which affords an outlet for half the worlds copper ownership of substantial part of the copper deposits Of the world and refining capacity ade- quate to treat S5 per cent of the world production. The triumph of metallurgy over low-grade ores has in large meas ure eliminated the advantage once held by owners Of rich deposits. The copper industry has been making new produc- ton records year after year. Costs have been reduced by all the facilities science and abor-savng machinery could con tribute. One present difficulty of the industry is that technology has in creased capacity faster than world de- mand. The temporary maladiustment between productive capacity and normal world requirements is being overcome gradually by increasing demand. per manent improvement in price awaits the balancing of consumption and produc- tive capacity which is much nearer at this time than it has been in a number of years.

NATIONAL MEETING 0F BIBLE CLASSES

delegation of a dozen or more members of Everyman's Bible class os this city will motor to Hartford tomorrow morning to join a group Of Bible class members from Hartford, Springfield. Worcester and other towns who are going on a special train to Newark, x. J., to attend the annual convention Of the National Federation of Mems Bible classes.
 Although this federation has it's inception and first meeting in New Britain and actually owes its exist ence to the local class, New Britain has very little interest in it this year. While heretofore the local class has sent large delegations, including an orchestra. and at the time the con- Ventlon was held at Providence, k. l.. also sent fife and drum corps. no orga nized effort was made to send a delegation this year. Only nine men are sure of going, although 1t IS likely several others will attend.

CHICAGO JUDGES
 ARE NOW ASSA|LED
Their Removal Asked by City
 Crime Commission

Chicago, April c7 R-Removal of three judges from the criminal court bench has been demanded by the Chicago crime commission. A breakdown in law enforcement is charged and an alliance between politics and criminals is held re- Sponsible.
 The statement of the commission. a non- official organization. singled out Judges Emanuel Eller, Stanley II. klarkowski and Otto Kerner. and pointed to the records of their courts for the last three months for substantiation of it's charges.
 These judges, the statement said. were put on the bench by politi- clans, against the protests and votes of the Chicago Bar associa- tion.''
 The man who runs may read rom the record why politics need ed them on the bench" the state ment continued. During these three months there was only one trial and capital conviction for murder. and that not of a gunman but of a doctor who had performed an abortion.
 During the same three months fully 400 jurors were in daily at tendance waiting to be called to try such murderers and gunmen as had been indicted and arrested. but it was easier to waive gun counts and secure pleas of guilty to minor offenseS of which the criminals were

not guilty. and 50 make . chea D record of convictions for the states attorney and the judges.
 In short. it was politics in full swing in the states attorneys office and on the criminal court bench.
 These judges should not sit a day longer in the criminal court. If they will not voluntarily retire, then the other judges of the circuit and superior courts who placed them in the criminal court should recall them and assign to the criminal court judges who will enforce the laws against criminals"
 No venality was charged; only q system of permitting criminals to escape trial on major charges and take light sentences on other charges
 Judges Klarkowski and kerner re- piled with statements defending their action and asserting that their assignment to the criminal bench was not a matter of choice with them. They discussed the procedure of waiving felony charges and said it was unfair to pass judgment with out first hand knowledge of the cases involved.
 The crime commission statement, signed by President Frank J. Loesch and Secretary Charles Napier. took up several crimes of the past few days as evidence supporting the charge that law enforcement had broken down. Cases cited were the robbery of passengers on a Chicago San Francisco limited by an armed bandit. the. staying of a 7-year-old boy by burglars fleeing from a home, the shooting down of police officer by a suspect being questioned, the murder of man in his home by shots fired through a window. and the killing of a hotel proprietor in the lobby of his hotel.
