One More Argument Con

By the time the proposed reorganiza- ton of our state government emerges from committee it will probably not re- semble anything like it did when it went before the committee. For as each day passes some individual or some group comes forward to protest changes in the existing systems. The Legislature got quite a sensation the other day when a real live-wire group of small town resi- dents came up to the Capitol to argue against the closing of the Hadlyme- Chester ferry, which is proposed by the reorganization commission.
 Now Professor H. H. Chapman of New Haven has forwarded an open letter to Governor Wilbur L. Cross in which he makes 1t plain that his service to Connec- ticut on the State Park and Forest Con- mission will end when and if this depart ment is merged with another and it's power of naming State Forester is given to the governor. This would be distinct loss to the commission as Professor Chap man has served continuously as a mem- Der of it since 1913, just about when it was organized, and is recognized not only in this state, but throughout the country as an authority on forest management.
 We sincerly hope that such contingen- cies as these can be ironed out in com mittee before the legislative reorganiza tion committee has handed in it's report to House and Senate while almost everybody has now come to the point where reorganization is ap- proved and urged, we do not want to have it come at too high a price in loss in present personnel. Professor Chapman makes some pertinent suggestions and points in his letter which well might be brought before the legislative committee hearings on reorganization.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-03-10

When the Young Republican clubs ot the state met in convention last Saturday at Hartford debate was projected by Litchf1eld county delegates on the pro- posed state jail farm plan.. They were hotly opposed to the creation of state jail farm and expressed themselves so at the gathering. That's bit odd in view of the fact that the county jail in Litch- field is probably our oldest institution in the state and certainly can't be regarded as an institution in which men can be expected to change their way or mode of living This is no reflection on the coun- ty nor on the men who administer the affairs of the jail. What can they be expected to do with 100-year old institu- ton. Remember when the Legislature voted for new Jail in Litchaeld county and sites were actually inspected and one tentatively selected? We'll, that plan died and the present jail is still in use, because the county commissioners feared that the jail might never be built on account of the swing of sentiment to the jail farm plan.

Heavy Artillery Out

President Franklin D. Roosevelt brought his heaviest artillery to bear on the Amer ican public last night when he discussed the affairs of the nation in a resumption of his fireside chats, first started just four years ago. His topic last night was not the economic crisis that faced us in 1883; it was his plan and hope to revivify the Supreme Court of the United States. We don't doubt but what at the conclusion of his remarks last night he had won to his way of thinking many Americans who up to now have been on the fence or defi- nitely against his proposal.
 It was a remarkably fine speech the President delivered last night. He was persuasive and he was diplomatic. He did not antagonize; he very distinctly made friends. He reasoned well; he painted vivid picture of the past, the present, and the future. We can't help but feel that the lever needed to turn over public opinion in his favor was yielded last night with good results. Even his opponents today will realize that sturdy entering wedge has penetrated their plans and hopes of frustrating the administration.
 Only at one point did President Roose- welt seem bit petulant and that when he pointed out how several presidents be- fore him had named justices to the Supreme Court = Taft, five; Wilson, three; Harding, four, including Chiet Justice; Coolidge, one; and Hoover, three, including Chief Justice. It was more as if he was complaining that he had served four years and started second without the opportunity of naming one justice. If there were any weak points in last nights ,ddress, we would pick out this part, but 1t is balanced by the fact that such ap- pointme4ts prove what the President con- tends is true, the court lacks age balance.
 It will not require more than one more talk by the President to swing not only the balance of opinion throughout the nation in his direction, but also to swing the balance of power in the Supreme Court pro-Roosevelt.
