THE STATE BUDGET ter Bdward 1% Hall presented a very ding the 1 s a who Finance Min of this.city has comprebensive report rel Mr. Ha gentleman state’'s finances. thorough-going Kknows his figures. He has addresscd the report to the Legislature, When the Board of Vinance and Control was organized with Mr. Hall at the wheel, Governor Trumbull al- towed his enthusiasm to run away with him and predicted it would save the state 10 per cont in its run- ning expenses, or $3,000,000. Crities ot the board, allowing their pessi- mism to get the upper hand, pre- dicted a deficit of $1,500,000. Ac- cording to Mr. Hall, the actual suv- ing hns around $1,600,000; which, after all, is a good record. 1t was only last November that Tax Commissioner William 1. Blodg- «tt, with an ear-splitting fanfare of publicity, predicted that the state must devise new tax laws. Jlodgett recommended a “commission” rather than the Legistature to en- gage in this money raising. Now Mr. Hall's report comes along and runs fairly contrary to the Blodgett idea. Not only is there enongh money on hand and in sight, heen but the pay-as-you-go policy is an- | nounced as eminently justifying it- self. Blodgett and Hall should stage a debate. TAXES AND SCHOOLS That the tax rate in ¢ Britain with the market within is low compared value of the property city, having one of the lowest fax rates in the country when approach- ed from a statistical basis, ought to be satisfying information.

REFORMING BOYS | Commuters in the railroad tion who happened to be a witness to the capture of the two runaway boys from Cheshire Reformatory after brutally mistreating & guard were indignant of the manner of the capture. But this was because they lacked knowledge of the desperate character of the two youths. We are advlsed by persons in a sta- position to know that the guards at Cheshire act reasonably with their charges; Low onc of them was mur- dered after doing a deed of kindness remains in memory. The plan of capture was to first scare the wits out of the boys, and that was accomplished. One of the youths got a punch on the jaw, but that wasn’t balf as much as had been inflicted upon the guard at Cheshire, Despits the enlightened methods in use at Cheshire, youths—some of them happening to be “bad cggs"—still remains some- thing of an unsolved problem. The object is to reform the boys; but a certain percentage of them seem to resist reformation and actually take advantage of the kind ministrations of the offic Ioys are not born bad; some of more others, but the desire to become a s. them are mischievous than bad man is not inherent.
