THE STORRs COLLEGE PROF.
 LEM
(Hartford Times)

Students of Connecticut Agricul- tural college are continuing active ly the agitation to change the name of the institution. Their prefer ence is for the title University of Connecticut" Meantime Q state commission has the matter under adyisement and is expected to make a recommendation to the in- coming general assembly.
 It is true that the institution at Storrs has tended to develop more largely in the direction of liberal arts college than as an agricultural institution. There is an insistent demand upon the part of boys and girls of Connecticut for the liberal arts facilities which the col lege offers and that demand will probably increase. There is no reason to doubt that if the state would provide the plant and let down the bars as to the numbers, the college would have a very large stud9nt body within a conpara- lively few years.
 Realization of that fact has tended toward conservatism in the state attitude towards the college. To establish and maintain a uni- .versity on a large scale would cost Connecticut a pretty penny. It is entirely possible. that the state ought to do it. Whether so or no 1t certainly should have realiza- tion of the cost before undertak- ing it.
 In this connection it can do no harm to consider something that New York state has done which might hold a suggestion for this state. When the Empire State reorganized it's educational system 1t created the University of the State of New York. There is no physical plant and the university" gives no courses. Its board of re- gents corresponds to our state board of education and has gener- al charge of public education in the state. It also has the power 10 charter colleges and 1t awards hon. orary degrees which are highly re- garded in the educational world.
 Connecticut might have a state university without confining the title to the institution at Storrs. The state maintains four normal schools for the training of teach CTS and several trade schools be- sides the agricultural college. It is entirely probable that 1t may at

Federal Subsidies

In recent radio address, Representative Robert Bacon of New York revealed strik- ing and little known abuses in connection with Federal subsidies to states. In the 193l fiscal year there were l4 states which did not pay dollar of net taxes into the federal treasury - while. on the other hand. the Federal Government paid them $z4.000.O00. which amounted to $l.78 for every head of their population.

.A sMrLE's THE THING" ,"

Good evening. o-O-o WHAT THIS SEASON BRlNGs I like to write about people ana things And tell the stories each seasor brings. To tell how the weather affect us all, Be it winter or spring. summer ol fall. The winter time most old folk, dread And little folks are sent early te
 bed. The nights are long. the days ars short, Many household arts are tediously
 wrought. On man-made ugliness the snow
 piles deep Sleet-covered drifts grow hard and
 steep. The season of wfaps and brisk
 outdoor fun Under clear skies and cold
 glistening fun. Spring and the elders begin to
 smile. Youngsters play in the thawing <
 sandpile. The stars are soft. the days are
 bright. Heavy household cares become
 ever so light. The warming sun melts the icy
 snow away $ From where it lies, smoke stained
 and gray. The time of the year when
 adventurers bold, About with wraps. contract severe
 colds. The summer is easy on those who
 feel age And all can find fun, from kiddie to sage. Days and nights are both made fer
 lovers And all homes hold happy smiling
 mothers. Flowers and fruits. and -sowil |t grain Blossom and ripen with the sun and rain, Vacation time brings relief from
 cares /, And all the earth its happiness
 bares. Thanksgiving time - in the. fall
 of the year Brings wishes of goodwill and
 bright cheer. The season when all ages are
 happy and gay And we smile as rontentment fills
 every day. Nature puts on her most colorful
 dress, Deep autumn shades the painter
 loves best. The pumpkins ripe and in our
 minds eye We can see the traditional
 Thanksgiving pie. Of the four seasons. I like best of
 all Thanksgiving time of the year
 the fall. The time to write about people and
 things And tell happy stories this season
 brings.

Democrats will follow an example given them by their brother republican legislators in assigning committee places in the State Senate, 1t IS now rumored. In 1929 the ruleo of the Legislature were amended to make places for three senators on all joint committees. The republicans then request ed the democrats to submit list of their members whom they wished to be assigned to the various committees. This was com piled with. the republicans taking two places and the democrats one on each com mittee in this category. The same rule will apply when the democrats organize the Senate next January with the democrats taking two places and assigning one to what ever republican member may be recom- mended for the particular assignment In the House. of course. the republicans will control and name the ehairmen of the var- ous committees At present writing Senator Frank Bergin of New.

Rural Gangsters

Shades of The Virginian' and other tales of the vest Cattle rustling has become major problem of farmers and state police in western Pennsylvania. Scarcely "a county in that section, it is reported has escaped the marauders. The rustling is of new type. Instead of driving off herds of live animals. the modern thieves are descending upon remote farms, butchering cows, sheep or hogs in the pasture and carting away the earcasses to use or sell as meat.
 Farmers are banding together to combat the menace, and the state police are working night and day to check such raids and cap ture the raiders. It is to be hoped the new form of 'rusthng' will be short-lived. Yet it is diseouraging to have old crimes revived and to find the banditry of our big cities crop out in the country in modified form.
