Lieut, Holland is a mechanical en- gineer and was formerly employ- ment manager for the American Su- gar Refining Co. in New York. He is capable of judging men, both as to character and ability, and he says: “I would not recommend a man for a job unless I knew he was capable of filling it. These men are thorough- ly trained. We do not call them re- habilitated until they have complet- ed their period of training, They are not released in groups, such as a graduating class, but as individuais, or in ones and twos, as they prove that they have reached the point of employability and can hold up their end in return for the pay they get. It is pitiful to sce some of them coming to me begging for jobs o they can earn enough money to support their families. “These men served and they now ask only a fair chance to properly employ themselves in lines wherein they have been trained to serve their employers and soclety ably. “The veterane’ bureau can go only 8o far in rehabilitation work.

As- sembled here as democrats of Con- necticut, 'our duty is primarily to outline our state policies. It would be pleasant to discuss the need of an absentee voting law; of a policy to connect trunkline highways to in- sure better transportation for rural communities; of a revision of taxa- tion looking espectally to the.repeal of the nuisance taxes; of curing cer- tain defects in the workmen's com- pensation act that employes on inter- state carriers might elect the state act as the foundation of their rem- ody, and further that appeals from commissioners might be simple, in- expensive apd certain of action, even where defective appeal steps are taken by the employe; of legislation to prevent the use as evidence of any proparty illgally seized without the authority of a seargh warrant. Like- wise would it be proper to suggest changes for certain archaic prac- tices in handling some of the state accounts. But a feeling of sympathy for the former state treasurer—a feeling which I just can't under- stand or explain—not only inspires the hope that the public funds are intact, but prevents a more detailed outline of the needed reform. Agafn, it would be delightful to express my hearty .approval of the position of Mr. Bingham, which while utterly at odds with the centralized program of President Coolidge, insists that the Connecticut rystem of edugation cah best be handled by the people of Connecticut. However, I deem it of such im- portance that I am impelled to out- line my theories on Connecticut's| natural water resources, The future| will be an age of electricity. Into whatevkr industry we may go, eleg- {rieity will be the power which whl move the wheels. Mills and fac-| torfes will consume it, trains will employ it. The homes of the city will be lighted and'the machinery on the farm will bé run by it Electricity will be as important to the future as steam has been to the past: Because of its universal use, that convenience and comfort may | be satisfied at the lowest cost, our | streams and rivers must be made available for the unlimited develop-| ment of water power. No unrea-! sonable -obstacle should stand 1in the path of this policy. But no man can honestly claim that the reten- tion of the title to water power | sites in the name of the state unreasonable. The streams which the Lord has placed in generous abundance throughout' this com- monwealth are the property of all the people, not to be bartered or | given away to private interests but property too valuabj@to be lost for- aver to it§ rightful’ owners. Al- ready have great combinations been granted, without so much as the cost of a copper cent, ~charter rights, in the face of the republican cry of conservation, which carries with them possession of and title to the people’s property, fiot for a term of 50 years, not for five hun- dred years, but untik time ends. What has been gratultously —be- stowed upon greal compapies can never be regained. But for the re- tention of those remaining water power sites, this state should im- nediately {ormulate an honest pol- icy of true conservation, not one of boneless structure, To lease these sites for a term of years wiil place no impediment in the path of the developer, will safeguard the pro- per disposition of their title, and will insure the people from the pos- sible strangle-hold of future selfish combinations of capital, Here ends my task; yours but be- gins. Enthusiasm has woh many a battle, but honesty has won more. The true strength of party lles not in a maudiin reference to past glories but in the belief ‘of men that 1t is inflexibly and persigtently honest. Guided by such philosbphy, may you approach your work, not as wily schemers bent solely on strategy, but as crusaders espous- ing faith and dedjeated to righte- ous service. With armour bright, with banners unsullied, we can then awalt with confidence the toming of the morrow. ST, YRR HURLED OUT OF AUTO.
