tician are essential to each other in the intricate scheme of our democracy. They should get together now. Their paths of life may be different, but they have one great thing in common - their country"
 It is true and patriotic talk, worthy of thought. Especially interesting is the bankers tribute to the intricate art of politics" The phrase may draw smile, but deserves more than that. The art of politics is the art of government, which calls for such combination of knowl- edge, experience, human understanding, constructive power and capacity for leadership that it may be the most diffi- cult of all the arts of civilization. Perhaps this is why most of us instinctively honor statesmen.

Budget Facts

The government budget looks more hopeful today. According to present estimates, federal income for the current fiscal year, which ends next June, will be about $5, 66,OOO,OOO This means an increase of about $1, 800 ,OOO, ,0O0 over last years receipts and $1 1900, ,000 over the year before. The reasons are better business and new income from profits taxes There will still be rather large deficit for the present fiscal year, but only about half as large as for 1856. Thus the unbalanced budget, while still seri- ous, begins to look less fearsome.
 If the next years income gained as much as this years, the budget would be about balanced on the current scale O. spending. Such continued gain is not expected and the obvious remedy is to curtail expenditure. By the latter pro- cess, a retrenchment of about a billion and half would turn the trick. Or say billion less spending and half billion more income. Then we could start re- ducing the big debt. That debt, now about $35, 5,000,00O,0O0 without allowance for recoverable assets, is nearly $10,O00,- 100000 above it's previous high of 1919.

Bingo having gone beyond the realms of pure gambling we wonder if the rumored plan to curb it's playing through out the state by legislative action will go through. There probably isn't town in all Connecticut that hasn't felt the influ- ence of this game in the last two years Every organization, whether it be purely social fraternal or religious, has indulged in the pastime of covering the numbers at some one or many times. So strong hold has bingo or beano on the people and organized groups as an inoffensive means of raising funds for various pur- poses that we don't think the Legislature will get far with it's effort to oust it alto gether. We feel sure that people in all organizations and of all denominations will voice opposition to the plan. There may be support for some type of regula- tion, but that the game itself can be declared illegal as played in most places is hard to believe.

MERIT SYSTEM VERSUS POPU-
 LAR SPOILS THEORY WRITER PROTESTS
MT. Editor:

MT. Edltor:
 I have been reading considerably about the aims and ambitions of the so-called Connecticut Merit As- sociation, which announces its ex- alted objective to take, the "spoils out of government or something to that effect. In plainer English to award state and federal positions to applicants of ability. I second the motion. Both governments are car- rying too much dead wood at the present time, but as I look over the Merit associations lineup I cari- not but resist the temptation to be so uncharitable as to remark that the only merit" to the organiza- tion's movement is to aid some of it's members to share in more juicy "spoils" than they have in the past. I noticed some of the leading spirits have held political jobs in past. Some are on the states payroll now and some hope to be shortly, if their political sugar daddies" can click. They are worrying about me- rit, they want what they want and intend to get it regardless.
 To me the merit association ap- pears like camouflage for dis gruntled republicans and a few grab-all democrats to get some thing while the going is good. I would suggest to the local associa- tion to rid itself of "excess bag gage before venturing into a cam- paign to make the state or couin- try merit-conscious.

The Art of Government

In the new "rapproachment' of American government and business, we often read utterances which would have seemed incredible before the election. One such was made on December by James G. Blaine, president of the Marine Midland Trust Company of New York. presiding at a dinner of the Bankers Forum. His address was a plea for bankers and politicians to get together to promote recovery.
 The United States, with the rest of the world, he observed, is moving on to new social and economic conditions, which will be permanent. The last election reflected a revolt in the popular mind against control of the government by "big business. Bankers as trustees of other peoples money are naturally con- servative, but must not remain imperv- ious to new thoughts or conditions" Everybody must work together "for the good of the greatest number"
 "The art of politics." he continued, Sis as intricate as that of banking, engineer ing or medicine. The banker knows ot things economic that are foreign to most members of Congress They in turn have knowledge of the aspirations, the hopes and ambitions of the man in the street that the banker can never know to the same de0ree.

Well, our state unemployment compen- sation act is 0. k. down in Washington. Some days back the Social Security Board down there forwarded it's approval to Hartford. The real purpose of the special legislative session may be said to have been achieved. Called to take action on two important measures the Legislature did that very thing and added few more for good measure, just as we predicted it would many weeks ago when the idea of a session became reality. That's always the worst of such ses jion. Call it for some definite purpose and the next thing you know there are number of definite purposes. We can thank our lucky stars, though, that there weren't more efforts to have legislation passed. It looked as if liquor interests might try to get some at tention, but evidently somebody prevailed and the pleasure of battling the liquor laws all over again won't come until the 1887 session swings into action.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-12-14

Democrats face a tremendous task in the next session of the Connecticut Leg islature. On their shoulders will rest the responsibility for most of the bills that are passed or rejected. They should keep this in mind and formulate very definite and progressive program prior to organ izing the Senate and House. With repub- licans so definitely in the background for the coming year, the change, so far as democrats are concerned, might prove boomerang. Every piece of legislation that comes out of the 1887 hopper will be weighed by republicans for possible cam paign material. There is so much con- structive work to be done that we think the vote-alienating stuff should be dropped

WhO Would Go?
About 500 of Present Jail Population Would Be Eligible for Farm If Established
 Figures Vary by Counties.
HARTFORD COURANT

If it is agreed that prisoners serv- ing short terms and those writing waiting trial should not be sent to the proposed state jail farm, the question naturally arises as to how many of the present county jail population would remain where they are and how many would be trans ferred. Fortunately, the jail com mission, which has been studying the matter for five years, has pre- sented the figures in detail. On Jan- uary 10, 1884, 63 per cent of the prisoners under sentence in the New terms of thirty days or more. The Haven county jail were serving number was 69 per cent in Hartford and 96 per cent in Bridgeport. In all countries on that date there were 48O men serving terms of thirty days or more.
 What, exactly lies behind the large percentage of prisoners in Fairfield county serving thirty days or more is hard to discover. Per- haps there was more room, perhaps the results of a longer term were better there than elsewhere, per- haps it was only the custom of the court. Judging from the recommen- dations of the jail commission, 1t is quite possible to make the thirty day proportion somewhat higher or lower. The commission proposes, for example, greater use of the proba- ton system. Sentiment is also gain- ing for the type of sentence that leaves the man free to earn the sup port of hills family at his regular job but requires him to spend his nights and week-ends in jail.
 Another point of particular inter est in judging the value of farm proposal is the age of the probable inmates. The Commission supplies those figures also. Tn general it found that little more than 55 per cent of all male prisoners were from seventeen to thirty-five years of ago. Among the first offenders, al- most 60 per cent were in this group. AS for occupational fitness, three fourths of the male prisoners put themselves down as laborers, skilled and semi-skilled, agricultural work CTS. So far as training goes, 1t is noteworthy that laborers compose 12.6 per cent of the population of the state but 31.9 per cent of the population of jails, whereas skilled and semi-skilled workers form 40.1
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-12-14

per cent of the states population but only 29.7 per cent of the jail population. In valuing these fig ures 1t must be noted that 12 per cent of the jail inmates were found definitely Predetermined and 33.2 per cent inferior mentally.
 Roughly speaking, then, the men who would go to state jail farm would number about five hundred. More than 55 per cent of them would be more than thirty-five years old and large number would be accustomed to unskilled or semi skilled work. That would give a productive force for running the farm, even though those rated as agricultural workers composed less than ten per cent of the whole jail population. On the other hand, the figures showing youth and the large number of terms of thirty days or more must be held as strong ar guments against continuing the present system of enforced idleness and lack of exercise in the existing jails. rl
