ton constitutes just cause for impeachment. It may furnish a good reason for srumbling and complaining It certainly does not show any particular foresight in comforting such varied powers upon the one individual. Mir Kimmel failed to secure popular support but he certainly revealed condition in Connec- ticut that demands change.
 The idea behind the impeachment bill was right. No person should hold concurrently legislative. judicial. and executive positions. Anybody can see the danger of entrusting such power to the one man. We shouldn't have had to be told by comparative new conner in our midst that the spirit of the fun damental laws of Connecticut was being vio- lated. Mir Kimmel may be theorist and student of government but he is discerning enough to see where the republican party is tramping down those tenets upon which this state government of ours was founded. While he may not work along strict party lines. he certainly is laboring for the best interests of the people who elected him to office.

Care and Climate For T. B.

Climate is now considered less important than proper treatment and medical care in curing tuberculosis. according to the United States Public Health Service. The home climate, if it is the worst in the world, says bulletin recently issued by the Health Service is the best if proper medical and nursing is obtainable there but lacking elsewhere. Climate helps greatly if it is added to proper care. but apparently care should be placed first and climate second
 This is encouraging news for many suffer CTS from this disease for whom change of cli mate is financial impossibility. Uprooting tuberculosis victims from friends and family and familiar surroundings is sometimes SO disheartening as to eounteraet any beneficial effect of climatic change. The fight against tuberculosis is making slow but steady pro- gress The important thing is to make known to everybody concerned all the facts learned about its cure or prevention and for every community to provide proper care and treat ment within the reach of all citizens, regard less of finnncial situation.

ture may be unresponsive to the need of lifting our minor courts out of politics and establishing them on basis of disinterested public ser vice, the judicial council has plant ed seed which will ultimately sprout, grow and bear fruit. It has told the people of Connecticut that
 'the judges of the town, city and borough courts are not responsible
 to an authority during the time they are in office; it has told them
 that there is no general organization among the judges of these courts,
 mo uniform practice no body of traditions, standards or ideals''; it
 has told them that as much care should be taken in the selection of these judges as if they were to be judges of the higher courts; it has told them that if these judges were appointed by the governor they
 would be responsible to him as the responsible head of the govern
 ment"; it has told them that 1t is convinced that the establishment of a system of district courts, the
 judges of which shall be appointed by the governor, offers the best solu- tion of a problem which is becoming
 more and more a matter of deep
 concern.
 A growing body of public opinion gives support to these conclusions
 of the judicial council. and in time,
 we are persuaded, even town minded legislators will see the desirability of paying heed to what the people want done to give their courts of first
 resort the dignity and standing they should have.

DIR LOUIS MICHAEL GOMPERTZ
 New Haven Journal Courier

The medical profession of the city and state lose an associate who has risen to the top of his prores- sion as Q specialist of great skill and experience, and the community itself Q citizen who was held in high respect for the possession of quali- ties which assure success in what ever form they express themselves. We knew Dr Gompertz as a young compositor in the employ of our contemporary The Register, and were impressed by his ambition to make the most of his opportunities and to seek recognition in broader field of service. With rare deter imitation and concentration of effort he obtained the education he re- quired to become an authority in his professional speciality and to be held in high respect by his col leagues. He became in his chosen field of medical service what Judge Isaac Wolfe became in his chosen field of legal service, both starting in life from the same scratch and in the same environment. Person ally, pr Gompertz matched his eff ciency with attractive modesty. It gives renewed faith in the opportun- ities which life in this country gives to young men who keep their feet on the ground and their heads clear, their ambition within bounds and their fntergrity intact. Such a man was Louis Michael Gompertz.

This has been an unusually severe winter on city streets. Nothing can do more damage to hard pavement than an accumulation of ice, water, and snow that alternately freezes and thaws A small crack will first show A lit tie water gathers in and freezes the expanding ice forcing wider opening in which moro snow and ice accumulate In short time the constant pounding of vehicles on the edges of the crack break it down. small hole appears which, if not taken care of promptly, will soon result in broken springs and flat tires. The winter of l93O-31 has produced plenty of this species of trouble. We have had ice and snow since before Christ mas and as result certain streets have suf- fered. West Main street from Willow to Ihomaston avenue is treacherous but no more SO than Watertown avenue from Rob- bins street to Bunker Hill avenue The edges of this stretch of roadway have crumbled away completely and anyway venturing away from the center of the road is sure to do some bounding. As for real holes we suggest ride over Sunnysde avenue where it passes through lamaraok Swamp or nearby West Main street from the Robbins street junction to the Coun- try Club station. We'll have to grin and bear it for permanent repairs can't be made until the frost is out of the ground

Population and Business

Our present national immigration. which is probably less than one-fifth of what it used to be before the war, is to be reduced about 90 per cent if present plans are realized. The policy will virtually stop population gains from abroad for at least three years. If it continues. gains hereafter may be reekoned. for practical purposes, as all native. It will therefore depend upon the people now in the country what our future numbers shall be. The quality will be fixed. SO far as inheritance can fix it. Increase will depend on the ratio of births to deaths among us and our de- scendants. The rest of the world will have scarcely anything to do with it.
 The old haven of refuge principle is abandoned Cross breeding is no longer held desirable. America will be for Americans only. Thus the whole population question assumes new status. Americans tend more and more to small families. Old stock tends to die out, whether from choice or lack of virility. Fam lily thrift and birth control tend toward the stabilizing of population which has been attained in France. Statisticians will have to revise their tables and curves. It no longer sounds reasonable to talk of the prospect of 500. .OOO, 900 people in this land and hereafter. wnetne1 III century or thousand years. A recent estimate of stabiization around 175,- 900 by 1870 seems not altogether absurd
 If anything like this is going to happen. there must be a great revision of long distance business plans. The economic situation is going to be vastly different from what we have been expecting. The most revolution ary change. perhaps will be in the real estate outlook. Suppose people increased no more than land! When American business men have given little real thought to the pros poets connected with such stabilized popula- tion we may find manufacturers merchants and real estate men demanding that the im- migration bars be lowered again. This is no plea for such action. but merely sug- gestion of what may happen.
