Hartford, May . b6.—The house of reépresentatives this afternoon adopt- ed without opposition the new work- men’s compensation bill. In this measure employers of less than five persous are specifically exempted un- less they choose. to accept the law. The. bill wus the order of the day in the house. -Conmsideratign at the outsét was on various amendménts to the. bill which were fllled by mem- bers last week. ,‘The first amendment offered by Mr. Davidson of Bethany Would have exempted farmers in the busy .season: even. if ' they employed more. than. flve persons. This was rejected. ., Mr. Spencer of Suffield by request, offered an amendment to take away from the ‘commissioners the power to open up cases for the purpese of modi- | -frying or making new awards. This ‘was rejeeted. Mr. Gorman of Panbury proposed to make gcompensation in' ~cases of dependancy 66 2-3 per cent., instead of 50 per cent., as provided in the bill. This was rejected. Hewes’ Amendment, Mr. Hewes of Farmington offered a long and techmical’amendment mak- ing many changes throughout the bill | to meet certain conditions which have been developed in the operation of the present law. Mr. Hyde, the ma- Jerity. leader, said that as heé under- stood these changes had been sub- mitted to the compensation commis- sioner for the first district and had met with his approvel he saw no | ohjection to adoption of the amend- ment. Mr, Hewes explained that some | of the changes had been. submitted to the commissioner and were ap- proved by him. To Mr. Felton of Clinton, Mr. Hewes said that there is nothing in the bill to place liability upon any employer of less than five persons, Tracy Amendment. Mr, Tracy of Derby offtered an| amendment to change the interval be- iween injury and payment of compen- sation from ten to seven days. Mr. Hyde said the seven day period was considered by the committee and re- Jected, as it was felt that compensa- tiéon claims would be .more than doubled by shortening the period. The amendmeént was rejected. An amendment suggested by the beard of control providing for print- | ing of a digest of operattons rather than the full operations was adopted. Mr. Back of Killingly offered tan amendment, which was adopted, mak- ing the bill apply to actions Between employers and employes, now pénding in the courts. Mr. Hall of Willington had amendment actepted changing office of the second district from.Wil- iimantic 'to Norwich. Mr. Hydé gave a genera: explana- | tion of the bill, emphasizing the point that employers of less than five | persons dare exempt unless they speci- fically give notice of their desire to be undér the law. Each section was analyzed by Mr. Hyde, ‘and the changes from the present 1aw pointed | out. The bill as’amended was , then | adopted without a dissenting voice. Trade Schools in Senate, The order of the day in the senate was the bill providing for establish- ment of day and night trade schools an | 25,00 or more and optional in'towns under 23,000. These schools to be established for children over fourteen and under eighteen years of age. Senator Tuttle made a long ad- drss upon the bill sa¥ing that most of the children are in need of voca- tional education. more than they are of an ordinary high school education. Senator Magee offered an amend ment striking out fivi cctions be i canse,r;he 8aw no reason why these towns'should come under state ap- propriations for trade schools, until they €dme up to the standard trade ! schobls.” The amendment was adopted 21 to 5.- Senator Whiton offered an amend- | ment adding vocational schools to trade schools in the bill as amended but Senator Magee thought it was, only another effort to open the door. to the treasury. The amendment, however, was adopted, and the bilt as amended’ was passed. Other senate matters adopted were those authorizing the state park eom- missioners to condemn land for park purposes and extending to Deeember | 1, 1916 the time in which the Nor- wich, Colchester and Hartford Trac- tion company ~may construct its tracts. Contract Labor at Frison. A Dbill to abolish contract labor at the state prison was reported to the house by the labor comimnittee.

Vvesterday, disclosed a no quorum, Mr. Stoddard of Woodbridge presided, as Speaker Healey is still suffering from throat trouble. ~ Mr, Hall of Willington suggested delay in taking the vote until members had reached their seats, but there ;was objection and the vote was ordered. The bill was declared rejected in concurrence, 110 to 39, Mr. Taylor of Danbury asked for reconsideration in the hope that it would not prewvail. Mr, Hyde of Manchester hoped there would be a frank discussion of the motion as he believed members did not under- stand the bill they had just rejected: Mr. TsbeH, of Ansonia, of the finance committee, said the bill was not one to tax savings bank .deposits, but to require the banks to pay .adequate taxes on their real estate. A general debate followed until the previous question was moved when réconsidera- tion was refused by decision of the chair but doubted by Mr. Shaw of Redding. A rising vote showed lhat the house refused to reconslder 12 to 65. Commiittee- Reports Amendment. The committee on banks reported an amendment to the law concern- ing private banks increasing the bonga which private bankers must give from $10,000 to $20,000, and authorising the state treasurer to take the bond in case there has been a defalcation in the bank.

Hartford. com- track: This Billion-Dollar Country. (New York Times.) Speaker Reed first discovered that this was a billion-dollar country. He | mado the discovery in relation to our | Interborough expenses. Secretary Redfield has | made the discovery anew, and in rela- | tion to our riches, He is a little pre- mature, to be sure, but his discovery , is welcome nevertheless. He remarks that this year our indicated credit bal- ance, or what “abroad” must pay us above imports, will be about equal to | our national debt. That is not an en- tire novelty in Foreign chancelors of the exchequ:r are troubled with their deficits, Tt is ! only the United States which is wor- ried as a*rule, to which the present vear is an exception, by its surpluses. That is one reason why our govern- ment finance is so bad. If deficits a rule there would straightway a reasonable budget system, and greater care in the levying of taxes, and of spending money. The secretary spends the billion— in his mind-—as though it were the government’s. He reckons that it would build two more Panama canals, which, by the way, the country almost paid for out of its pocket money, a sort of investment which it is not nec- essary to amortize. The year’s billion excess of exports would pay the ag- gregate debts of all the states, or the debt of New York city, and Philadel- phia’s thrown in. It is a pleasant day dream. It would be a nightmare to think of the nation setting out to spend that money. And, after all, it is not the government’s money, It belongs to the people, who would object to its being taxed away from them, and who, nevertheless, are being taxed for comparable sums, which are being spent not so wisely that additional taxes would be ‘wel- come.
