change of policy because 1t would represenut in substance going back to an experiment which was tried years ago and abandoned. At the
 very outset of the establishment of the state police the multiplc-com-
 mission plan was tried. And as late as 1918 there were i've commission CTS. When the new state police force was set up there was q similar iliog- ical arrangement. The commission of three included the state comp troller and the state commissions CT of motor vehicles, who served ex- oficio, and one member appointed | by the governor. They chose the superintendent. In 1927 the com
 mission of three was abolished and the department put under one com-
 missioner.

Our New Judge

In presenting the name of Attorney Ed ward J. Finn to the General Assembly for judge of the local court of common pleas Governor Gross recognizes the fact that the courts of this state should be bipartisan in character. For good many years the re- publican party of Connecticut has been es- tablshing the doctrine that our courts are sources of political patronage and as such should be open only to republicans. It did democrats little good to complain about this condition of affairs. What representation they secured on the bench was meagre and begrudgingly granted. It is not the purpose of Governor Gross to swing to the other ex treme. He prefers to pursue middle course.
 Of the five common pleas court appoint ments made yesterday two were given to democrats thus displacing two republicans on the common pleas bench. It is as it should be. We only hope that the General Assembly will regard the appointments in similar light and will not refuse to approve the five men named 10 judgeships. Certainly from the standpoint of ability the local nominee. Attorney Finn. cannot be questioned. He IS an outstanding member of the local bar. His experience as United States commissioner will stand him in good stead when called
 
 upon to sit in the common pleas court.
 The need of bipartisan courts throughout the state is quite evident in Waterbury. As democratic city that has always aided the cause of the state party it deserves recogni- ton when it is to be given And furthermore both political parties are entitled to repre- sentation on the bench whether it be su- perior, common pleas or merely city court. It makes for better feelings all around. It creates a balance of power for which two party government is designed. To kill the ambitions and hopes of minority party is 10 stife good government Where there is no strong minority there isn't good govern ment There is what amounts practically to dictatorship.
 We don't generally consider our courts as political rewards But of recent years we have had it impressed upon us so often that only republicans need think of appointments that it is hard to think of one and not the other. Count the number of democratic judges on the supreme and superior court benches. the common pleas. the compensation court, and last but not least in our minor courts. None in the last two few in the former groups. Governor Cross isn't an extremist. as we in- ferred above. He will make his appointments. whether they be to democrats or republicans. quite on merit And that is as it should be with an even balance being prsssved in po- litieal adhcrences of the nominees

Lame Ducks Gloating

Failure of congressional agreement upon the terms of the Clifford resolution. abolish ing the short term of congress and establish ing the date of the inauguration of the presl- dent and vce-presIdent in January instead of March. is to be regretted. The lame duck amendment has been before congress for so many years now that practically everyone in the nation is fully aware of it's contents and is behind the proposed measure Although it has borne the name of Senator George W. Norris. the Nebraska insurgent. for the last few years. it emerged in congress during the lat fer days of the 7lst session as the Clifford resolution. the representative by that name having made certain changes in the original Norris amendment.
 Our attention IS called 10 some remarks of Representative John Q. Tilson of New Haven in the Yale News. He asserted that a constitutional amendment 10 change the time of inauguration was unnecessary. He fur thermore stated that the work of preparing the governments budget was based on the present system of calling congress to order in December. Mir Tilson. who has just finished a trying season in the interests of the ad- ministration. remarked that the budget de- pertinent starts work about July com petes its tasks in September. then checks up all figures and finally presents them to the president so that he may use them in his address al the opening of congress in De- eember.
 Mir Tilson believes that if this system was changed it would mean dsarrangement of the budget department and consequent fail ure of the president 10 receive the necessary data in time for his congressional message. Evidently we are extremely stupid for we can't see how if the business of the govern ment is shifted ahead few months every department can't shift at the same time Why not give the budget department employees a vacation during the hot summer months? We don't notice many representatives or sem ators running wild along Washington streets in the summer time. Let the budget bureau start its work in September and have it com pleted for December. That gives the pres- ident one month in which 10 prepare his message. Whats inefficient about this ehangel

Cost of Health

The estimated cost of sickness in this country is ten billion dollars a year. accord ing to Paul L. Benjamin of the national committee on the costs of medical care. That huge amount includes money spent for all kinds of medical service. loss of wages and loss through death. The committee, of which Ray Lyman Wilbur is chairman, is "endeavoring to arrive at some method for distributing this cost"
 One way is for the individual to seek med ical advice before his physical condition is seriously endangered. Five dollars worth of medical attention may prevent large hospital bills and nursing bills by checking and pre- venting serious disorders. Another method. too simple for most persons to bother with. is to live at slower pace. taking time out from work for recreation of wholesome and congenial sort. Health costs less than sick ness if it is maintained right along by fore thought and care.

FOR posTERITY
(Hartford Times)

The largest national park in the United States, that of the Yellow stone In Wyoming. has an area of something over 5000 square miles. That does not equal or even ap- proach the magnificent sweep of mountain, lake and forest territory in the Adirondack state forest pre- serve of New York, all but 16.000 acres of which, as far as 1t Is state owned. under the recently-enacted Hewitt bill has been brought with in the enlarged boundaries of the Adirondack state park. This tremen- dous domain is large than the en- tire state of Connecticut and ac- cording to New York's conservation commissioners, Henry Morgenthau, Jr.. contains 4.604,0O acres. It in. cludes, besides portions of Clinton, Franklin, St. Lawrence, Lewis, Oneida, Herkimer. Fulton and Sara tOga counties, ali of Hamilton and Essex and nearly all of Warren. with the Lake George region. The Keene valley and Elizabethtown are in Es- sex county whic h has within it Grown Point and Tlconderoga and forms the western boundary of Lake champlain from Port Kent down to below MOntcalm's Landing. The park as now constituted embraces practically the whole Adirondack re. zion. forming truly gigantic reser- vavation for the recreation of the people, the preservation of scenic beauties. forest and wild life.
 With 47,000 acres, and a long, nar- row frontage of 22 miles on the low CT Hudson river, the Palisades park appears very small in comparison with that of the Adirondacks, yet last year 9,800,000 visited 1t. or course. that Is because the Palisades are 50 readily accessible from the great cities, but 1t gives . clue to the value of state parks In general.
 Until 1881. New York states pur- chases of lands for the Adirondack and c/sskill forest preserves, the latter amounting to l76,440 acres, had aggregated $16,000, 900. Add to that the large sums appropriated for public trails. camps, picnic groundB. highways and patrol, 1t may be seen that the investment is heavy one. Yet 1t is for the benefit of millions who will for generations to come eii- joy the rich privileges of communion with the wild in a district perhaps as naturally lovely as any on earth. For the permanent prevention of the serious commercial exploitation such as marvellous territory there are null tttudes outside New York to join with it's people In gratitude. It is the greatest single enterprise of f,a- ture construction yet accomplished by any state, setting a magnificent example, The liberality and wisdom of the policy cannot be praised too highly.

DAILY WASHINGTON LETTEl

 Washington.--Who said the coun- try didn't want an extra session of congress?
 From all parts of the country, In the last days of the session, came pleas to Capitol Hill for action of one sort or another on this and that, most of wkich obviously could not be taken care of before adjourn ment. The indication seems to be that there are large gobs of citizens who would be positively delighted to have congress come right back and give them what they want.
 Study of about 300 petitions from groups of citizens received by the house and senate within a single week reveals several interesting facts--such as where the pressure of back k-home lobbying was centered. what kind of folks are most prone to sign such prayers and the .0pti- mism of those who don't follow the progress or collapse of measures in i congress.
 Many Churches Sent Petitions The churches and organizations I affiliated with them were the most numerous last-minute petitioners.
 The majority of petitioners were Protestant groups urging passage of the Sparks-C Capper "stop-alien repre- sentation" amendment or the Hud- son bill for movie censorship, while Catholic parishes and organizations sent in dozens of protests against the birth control laws. None of these measures had a chance in the Fist congress.
 And right up to the bitter end, groups of citizens were demanding cash payment of soldier bonus cer- tificates, although that possibility | had long ago faded out. World court | ratification also continued frequently to be urged, along with the bill to exempt dogs from vivisection in the District of Columbia.
 Both the Sparks-C Capper amend | ment and the Hudson movie bill ob- so- called "sticks." Among scores oi petitions on their behalf hardly one comes from a town large enough to | be known outside it's own state. l Drys Rack Amendment The amendment would exclude aliens from the count in determining |

REWRITING THE LEHAR HITS
