/. It is, an indisputable fact that
every time anyone from without
the state comes to Connecticut,
stays at a hotel, Boarding house,
tourist home, or rents or buys a
permanent farm or home, money
is immediately put in circulation
for the purchase of labor, amuse-
ment and recreation, food milk,
eggs, poultry, and supplies OF all
sorts from which everyone bene-
fits.
To sell the recreational and
varied attractive resources, Of the
State of Connecticut to the rest
of the world can best be accom-
plished by a State Publicity Bureau
where can be coordinated the data
of the states recreational and
other advantages and disseminated

We have beautiful state, beau
tiful lakes. hills and valleys, fertile
farms, long coast line, the finest
highways, friendly and hospitable

one could ask for. Connecticut Is
the garden spot of New England.
Furthermore.it has the advan-
tage over all other New England
states in that it Is nearer New
York and vicinity from where the
greater part OF New England tour
list business originates. Also, 1t IL
a fact that most OF the tourist
business going into eastern and
Northern New England passes
through Connecticut on its way.
Why not do everything possible to
present the many advantages OF
Connecticut to these people so they
will stop Off and spend their money
In this state?

We'd like to see the republicans of the

threatening that. They now accuse the
governor of embarrassing them in the

QUICK OR SLOW DEATH
Merely to appoint an Agricul-
tural Secretary who knows cot
ton, however, would cure MOTH
ing, and the leaders in the cot
ton industry realize this.
What the South is UP against
is slow starvation or sudden
death. f.e.,

tinte to peg cotton at its

ly see the cotton markets
of the United States dwin-
die to nothing. In other
words, slow starvation.
2. Or it can pull the peg
from the price of cotton
and bankrupt the South.
In other words, sudden
DEATH.
The latter, Of course, also
would mean the bankruptcy of
the democratic party and almost
certain defeat for Roosevelt in
1886.
Probably, therefore, 1t will not
happen. Gradual loss of our cot
!, ton markets abroad--and in the
past the United States supplied
more than SO per cent of the
worlds cotton-is more likely.
LABOR SAVING
There are two other sub
alternatives also, but they pre-.
sent almost as much chaos:
One Is to reduce the govern

+, The other is to reduce. the cost
of production by. more efficient
seed selection and more mech

THE FIRST Of these would

price Of cotton is pegged at ~
cents pound through govern

some of his advisers want to re-
duce this to ten cents or less.

will not let them reduce.
THE SECOND of these would
mean the unemployment of

No Cut In City Expenses Until July

# any cut is to be made in the Large number OF
city employees, appointed by Mayor Bettwy when ne
took office two weeks ago today it appears such
reduction cannot be made before the next regular
monthly meeting Of the board of aldermen on July J.
According to rulings by Bettwy the present enl
ployees are safe until July at least.
The Mayor at meeting of the board Monday
night advised the aldermen that resolution passed
week ago Monday providing that city expenses shall
rot in any one month exceed the figure OF any one
month the past year, was improperly put through.
He also told the aldermen that they did not re-
cess a week ago Monday night. The aldermen main
tanned they did.
If the Mayors contention that the resolution was
not properly put through, and that the aldermen did
not recess week ago Monday night is right then II
seems to us that the aldermen badly in need Of e-
cal counsel and should see hereafter that each step
they take is alright.
Undoubtedly the Mayor is wise enough to know
that eventually he is going to lose ot in his effort TO
carry On the payroll many more persons than are
needed in city the size Of Nogales But, he's not 60
ing to let them out until forced to do SO.
When many of the employees are dismissed it is
not going to be The Mayor who will be damned by
those let out He will tell them that he did the hiring
and the aldermen the firing, and that the aldermen
are to be blamed because they lost their jobs
All Of US, naturally would like to see hundreds Of
persons given employment by the city if there was q
way to pay the bill But OF us relish the idea Of
seeing tax rate of $40 more, and such tax rate
it certainty if a halt is not called.
