Citron Assails
 Governmental Costs!
Minority Leader Points to Selishness of Officials
 Throughout Nation

William M. Citron, minority leader of the state legislature, ad- dressed a democratic gathering at Clinton yesterday, assailed the high cost of government and at tendant selfishness. He said:
 It is said that this nation is suf- fering from public extravaganza. The i'll is more Fundamental than this term ''extravagance" would imply. It is the attempt of many to get something for nothing. In the governmental life of this coun- try it is evidenced by the super fiuity of swivel-chair officials, drawing larger salaries than they ever put into this world and by the over-abundance of useless offices, departments and commis- sions. Governments of all Kinds expanded in and created all kinds of enterprises, many of which are economically valueless during the depression. With a decrease of forty billions in our national in- come, we cannot long continue where one out of every ten persons Is in governmental employ, while many millions are unemployed.
 Cost of government in useless offices and functions must be cut down. This applies to all kinds of government, federal and state. But in our haste to remedy this, we must not become panicky. Too often communities and govern ments in their anxiety to curtail costs take 1t out of the politically uninfiuential. Curtailment should

be proportioned equitably. Those who serve least and are socially least useful must stand this bur den. V,
 Opposite from paying out moneys is the receipt of money. This ifl-s come is mostly from taxes. Tax ation in this country is not sys-. tenn. It is a hodge-podge. From time to time we have resorted to- sources of taxation that seemed momentarily satisfactory. We have. not surveyed properly all our ec0-s homie resources and sources of ifls4 come for purposes of taxation. As result. those least influential po-s litically are paying more than their share. Taxation should be systematic and scientifically based. No particular class Should be shaken down. Our taxation prob- lem needs readjustment. The the ory of ability to pay Is still the basic theory.
 A serious problem in this coun- try. Is the matter of tax-exempt securities. There is room for change in this connection.
 But our whole problem will not be adjusted If we do not have honest, conscientious men in the, political life of this country. ThererI are too many in our governmental machinery who are money para sites and social lizards. Men should serve for the good they can do. Our governments are filled with office-holders whose sole strivsx ing is selfish monetary or sociais q

Cases of Human
 Hydrophobia Rare
Osborn Praises Work of Local Physicians in
 Treating It

Connecticut has had only two cases of, human rabies in the last fifteen years, it's health officers and 1og wardens, having been continu- ally on the alert in isolating infect ed dogs and very strict about the quarantine on other dogs when canine cases were discovered, Dr Stanley H. Osborn, Connecticut Commissioner of Health, declared last night in the weekly broadcast of the state department of health.
 Enacting the role of Dr Brown, q local health officer, Dr Osborn ex- plained to the departments "Smithson Family, which was wor ried about picknicking near the town because of q recent outbreak of rabies, the precautions which the health officer takes and which the public should observe when g mad dog Is discovered in the neigh borhood.
 When dog is suspected of being infected with rabies, he is imme- ficdr or dog warden and placed un- der observation. When infection with rabies becomes certain. the dog is kept completely confined until death occurs, or, if necessary, the dog is killed. After death, the head is sent to the laboratories of the State Department of Health for examination. No time is lost in re- strictfng the freedom of the infect ed canine after he becomes sick, no matter how valuable he may be, for should he spread the disease to humans there is no hope for their recovery. Rabies is positively fatal.
 A person bitten by mad dog or even playing with such a dog is in extreme danger. Even though the dog is only suspected of being mad, persons who have come into con- tact with him should immediate ly go to their physician and be giv- en the Pasteur treatment. There should be no delay, remembering that there is no hope of cure after symptoms of the disease are ob- served.
 If the situation warrants 1t, the health officer and the comr missioner on domestic animals upon discov- cry of case of rabies cooperate in placing all dogs under quaran- tine, until after sufficient time has elapsed for symptoms of the dis ease to show themselves. Even though dog may not have been bitten by an infected animal. he may have been in close enough con tact to receive rabies germs and he must be kept in quar- antine so that humans and other dogs will not be infected by him.
 The best protection against rabies among dogs woud be to have all dogs inoculated once a year by the veterinarian and recommended by the commissioner on domestic anil mals. If such a procedure were made compulsory 1t would be long step toward eliminating this disease.
