They object especially to the minimum wage provision.
 1t is a good thing to have this ques- tion, and other legal issues connected with it, thrashed out in the courts as soon as possible. The government doubtless welcomes the opportunity to state it's case and, if possible, to establish it's constitu- tional status beyond further challenge The case may be expected to go through quickly to the highest court.
 There is no telling what the courts will do. A federal child labor law and various other examples of what are now commonly regarded as enlightened social legislation were ruled out in past years by the United States Supreme Court. But even that tribunal changes with the times, as many historic decisions show, reinterpreting old principles to meet the requirements of changing civilization. It is this elasticity which gives our fund.- amental law it's strength and keeps it from breaking under new strains and stresses. It may be living law, rather than dead letter, that will decide ques- tions arising out of the present process of readjustment.

The Way the Wind Blows

Recent advices from Washington lndl- cate that David A. Wilson of Hartford, chairman of the democratic state central committee, may be named to the Federal Radio Commission. While no vacancy exists on the board now, it is expected that the Connecticut member, D. l.. Star buck, will be replaced shortly. The ap- pointee must be an engineer or lawyer. Chairman Wilson is the latter. In view of the fact that he missed being named U. s. Attorney for this state, it is easy to believe that the administration at Wash ington may have something in line for him.
 It does not matter really whether MT Wilson is named to the radio commission or to federal court post so far as hls successor as state chairman is concerned. In either event it will call for speedy ac- tion, inasmuch as this is election year anu the party must be up and doing if 1t IS to repeat it's past two triumphs at the polls Last year we predicted that if it came to a showdown Governor Cross might be called upon to name successor to MT Wilson. We also predicted at the same time that if this occurred the gov ernor would be more than apt to name J. Francis Smith, the present secretary ot the committee, as chairman.
 We still are inclined to think that MT Smith looms high in peoples minds as the new chairman, this conditional, of course, on the Wilson promotion. However, it is apparent that there will be an effort made to prevent him being named. We can't regard the candidacy of Labor Commls- sioner Joseph Tone too seriously. It doesn't seem logical that MT Tone, who was the secretary when Governor Cross was first elected would give up his con- missionership now to head the state cen tral committee. But that some, other candidate will be brought out is quite ev- ident. The Tone candidacy, probably un- known to MT Tone himself, was merely to head off Waterbury.
 We have seen that happen frequently in the past. Somehow or other it doesn't seem as if it would work this time. While MT Smith may be regarded as neWcom- CT in state politics, should his record be laid side by side with other veterans of past campaigns, still in the short time that he has busted himself with this field of endeavor he has entrenched himself pretty solidly particularly in circles where he will be given the most aid. We don't think it could be called boast to state that if Congressman Frank Ma loney of Meriden plays as important part in the approaching campaign, as we think he will, then MT Smith is also going to be very much to the front and in all likelihood the state chairman.

Uniform Fiscal Years

What ever happened to the plan to make uniform fiscal years in Connecti- cut? There was considerable interest dis played in the idea last year during the legislative session, but when our law makers turned down the proposition it dropped out of sight. As we recall it Judge J. Russell Mink of Bristol collected some interesting facts and figures. We hope that they are still available and can be produced when the occasion warrants stirring up interest in the issue.
 We were variously moved by the plan. At one time we considered it a solution to many town and city difficulties. Then again we began to wonder if it was the cure-all. Perhaps it would not end bor- rowing in anticipation of taxes after all. There is no doubt but what a majority of our American municipalities pay out enormous sums annually in interest on short term notes, bonds, and the like. If that one item of interest alone could be wiped out debts would show very ma terial decrease.
 If we were to discuss our national debt we could show how interest eventually would wipe this nation out of existence. Maybe it is that which insures existence to q great many people, but on the other hand it is what keeps the noses of the taxpayers to the grindstOnes 365 days out of the year. If the uniform fiscal year plan could eliminate the interest item in our expense sheet we would subscribe whole-heartedly to it. But we aren't con vinced that merely making the beginning of a city's fiscal year coincide with the date of tax collection would do this. It doesn't seem. judged by present stand ards, as if this would eliminate all mu- nicipal borrowing Taxes can't be relied upon in these days. We'd rather see gov- ernment costs reduced, than talk about the uniform fiscal year for all.

HISTORY

It has been said that the history of Waterbury's Green ranks fa- vorably with similar histories throughout the state. In its early days what was known as the town spot" later the Green was pretty much of a swamp. The river and various subsidiary streams, some of which still flow under our city streets, travelled unhampered in those days 50 that the center of Waterbury and from which the Va rious highways and treets were to radiate was a somewhat sodden and moist piece of meadow land.

Fighting Heart Disease

Borrowing the idea, perhaps, from the annual anti-tuberculosis Christmas seals, the Chicago Heart Association uses red valentine heart stamps to raise funds for it's educational work in the prevention of heart disease. It's annual sale of stamps begins early in January and ends on Valentines day. Heart disease is one of the most serious ailments doctors are fighting to-day. It has made tragic gains in recent years, with the increasing strain of modern life. At the same time, progress has been made in understanding it's causes and cures. Most cases are said to be caused, or aggravated, by focal infections which are curable.
 The Chicago Heart association notes four gains in it's ten years of activity. Classes have been established in Chicago public schools for children suffering from the disease. They receive medical and nursing care. More than 60 beds in es- tablished convalescent homes have been provided for the care of heart patients. More than 600 have been accepted at summer camps which formerly excluded them. The number of heart clinics irt Chicago has increased in ten years from two to thirteen. During 1883 these clinics gave regular care to 7,902 patients. What has ben achieved in the prevention of tuberculosis sets an encouraging ex- ample for those who battle against heart disease. Education is an important fac tor in all such work.

And while we are on this topic of pub lie debts, we cant very well overlook the fact that right in our own state six or seven million dollar deficit is in prospect This is just double the present deficit of $3,40OO0O. The state has managed to live within it's income during the first half of the current fiscal year, but this has been done in such way that it is in- evitable that the deficit will jump consid- erably by June 30. We have borrowed heavily from the highway department funds to finance other projects or defray current expenses. In one way this was saving as it did away with interest pay ments on notes. So far as we can see the deficit will mount at least until June 30, 1885, for we can't have any changes in our tax structures until then, the year the Legislature meets. We might suggest few governmental reforms productive of economies.
