attempt Of an extensive cam

A program of equal distribution
of road improvement. and
such that office work shall not

sary If we are to receive dollar

Should I be elected I would strive
earnestly toward that end.
Being educated in and a gradu-
ate of Hardin schools, and having
received a degree in Geological
Engineering from the Montana
School of Mines, I am fully quail
fled for this office.

More New Institutions

COinciding with the date of the dedica- ton of the new chidren's sanatorium for treatment of tuberculosis at Waterford come renewed appeals for home and school for the feeble-minded. Rumors that q new institution of this description would be established within short dis. tance of Waterbury have been current for some few months It is costly business, to be sure, but one to which the state must lend ready and sympathetic car
 Connecticut boasts q modern institution of the type planned at Mansfield but 1t is far from sufficient unto the needs of the day. The care and education of children whose mentality is below their age is q problem that the state cannot ignore. And we are as fully conscious of that as any state in the Union. There is no state that has done more in the way of institutional expansion than Connecticut. Right now, however, we stand at q crossroads. Mod crnization of our facilities is demanded.
 Few people deny the need for another home for the fceble-minded. If finances permit it next year then certainly no time should be lost in making available such funds as are now declared imperative to the securing of proper site and the crec- tion of the first of several units. As we understand the situation it is proposed that $1,500,000 be requisitioned for this work. At intervals in ensuing years like sums would be expended, until the pur- pose is achieved. Western Connecticut would be pleased by the addition of such an institution. No legislative steps should impede it's construction.

FRIDAY, JUNE IS, 1884
Hearings End, Echoes Continue

To paraphrase the words of popular song-the hearings are ended, but the echoes finger on. In short public hear ings are conducted by the special tax survey commission, authorized by the 1888 Legislature and named by Governor Cross are at an end. The board will listen to no more suggestions for ways and means of raising taxes in Con- necticut or for lowering the burden of the property owner. Some time in the fall the commission will report to the gov crnor, the same to be conveyed to next years General Assembly.
 Diverse and numerous were the rem cdies for the present tax system. The majority of those appearing at the hear ings were of the opinion that real estate is overtaxed. That actually was one of the reasons why q special survey body was named. We have come to the day when 1t is no longer profitable to be home owner. Conditions are such that our towns and cities have piled the main burden of their support on the home. There was little or nothing said about the fact that in addition the home owner too often is the auto owner whose taxes are likewise excessive
 We still stick to our original opinion. ! IIB HHlI JIOuDlb WlLIl VuI buASS VI bIIpoS in any other state or taxation district is their size It is a rare occasion to-day to note downward trend in tax levies. Ow- ing to the fact that government costs in- crease it becomes necessary for our duly elected or appointed officials to make the income meet what they are paying out. We presume that conditions in the last few years have caused many govern mental subdivision to mend it's ways. But not sufficient, we feel sure.
 The proper way to tackle the problem of tax revision is to secure first of all def mite promises of savings in government expenditures. Then and only then may the tax base be broadened. There is no sense sadding more levies on us to replace ones we drop That isn't saving for the taxpayer. It's merely shifting the burden from say the house to the auto. We hope this fact is recognized when the survey commissions report is filed next fall. If taxes are to be cut down let's start at the source of all taxation.

A Nations Objectives

The Presidents summarizing and for ward-looking message to Congress is worthy of the closest study by every man, woman and child in this country. It is by all odds the weightiest message issued by the administration and possibly the most significant of any composed in the last eighty years. It is, in effect, call to the people to marshal their forces of heart and intelligence to the task of providing for all time and for all people three fun damentals for successful living-home, means of livelihood, security in old age.
 Other measures effected or advocated by governments have aimed at the same goal by indirection. Laws against crime restrictions governing social intercourse, codes, customs and manners these are approaches to the ultimate end and aids to it's achievement. But now comes a document that strikes right to the heart of the thing, that defines the objective of human longings and proposes that the people unite and go directly to that objective.

Depression Heroes

It is not easy for Pollyannas to glean through the debris of the last five years and chortle over their finds, and yet there is congratulatory stuff to be found. Out of the mess comes one picture, at least, that will endure as long as the memory of this green country of ours endures. That is, the picture of how our people took 1t on the chin. No more sublime chapter of our history has been written.
 There was Valley Forge. Yes, and Bunker Hill and the black shadows of '63, and Belleau Woods. But why should the mind turn to war when seeking historical high lights? Peace not only has her heroes as we'll as war but has them thousand fold and of storner stuff, too. They fight an intangible foe, sinking, invisible enemy, and one which wars on women and little babies. For them there is no fife and drum, no gay pennons, but bills dull inaction, lack, heartache and shabbiness.
 Yet through it all our people sang ana produced some of our greatest songs They laughed and produced great comedies for stage, screen and liberty. They kept clean and decent. They filled community chests and visited the fatherless in their afflic- tion They learned something about human brotherhood and what 1t means. Surely, there is bright memory one which Is worth even the terrific cost.

It is the consummation of our desires, the desires of all of us.

Honoring Jefferson

Washington is full of statues and monu- ments, some animate, some inanimate. Now Representative John J. Boylan is pretty excited about something that every Washingtonian has known for years that amongst all this weltsr of memorials, there isn't single one to Thomas Jeffer- son. Boyan wants the federal govern ment to spend $l00,000 for pedestal on which some private association may later want to build q memorial to the sage of Monticello.
 Now you might think $100,000 is small change these days, the way the govern ment is tossing billions about. And yet you might also paraphrase Poor Richard, and say that If you watch the hundred thousands of dollars the billions will take care of themselves. There arc lots of things we need more today than $l00,000 podestas. The best memorial we could build for Jefferson today would be for few millions of us to devote just one-tenth the thought, work and zeal to democracy that Jefferson gave to it.

A flair wage" under the pact is one fairly and reasonably commensurate with the value of the serv- ice or class of service rendered."
