KEEPINB 'DOWN STATE'S EXPENSES|| Republicans Already Figuring How it Can be Done—Sugges- tion That Board of Finance in Legislature May be Ef- fective—Present Methods Allow too Great Latitude. g Outside .of the matter of distribut- ing patronage, republican leaders in the state are-already at work upon legislation of importance for the ses- sion which .begins the first week of January. The principal theme of dis- cusgion during the campaign just end- ed insofar as the state is concerned ‘was the increasing debt of the com- monwealth. In view of the fact that so much talk was expended upon th's matter, it is believed it will be one cf the matters which will receive a great deal of attention in the legislature. Both republicans and democrats have admitted that the eituation insofar as the state's finances are concerned was bad one, and they both admitted that = circumstances rather than parties or Z men were responsible for the situation. They also admit that the situation has arisen out of the fact that there has bheen no controlling power over the ap- propriations of money of the legisla- ture. The plan has bgen for various committees t. consider" bills carrying approptiations and then report them to the house or the senate. The house or the senate would refer them to the committee on appropriations, which would send them back to the house or senate either as they stood or with some amendment. More often than not the bill as amended by the appropria- tions committee would be passed as it came from the original committee, and this in spite of the protests of the # members of the committee on appro- priations. Sometimes the bills carry- ing lar; appropriations have been % passed without these bills having gone to the committee on appropriations. In this way the appropriations have &peen made sometimes without - any great regard for the income of the " state, and the result has been that the state debt has jumped by the millions. » ©One remedy which hds been dis- ed by some of the leaders has the creation of a board of con- to which will be given large funds in the matter of state appropriations. ich a board would correspond in a| re to the board of finance in 2 Haven and in other towns and cities. The creation of such a board « of contro! would require legislation - carly in the session if the plan was put ¢ into effect. for next yvear. It is pro- posed that this board of control migit -‘be composed of the comptroller, the s treasurer, the tax commissioner, with the governor as an ex-officio member, and- the chairmen of the appropri & mea; COURT MOOSUP OFFICERS WILL DO DEGREE WORK When New 1.

The meeting was in charge of State Or: anizer James J.

Several asked for ormation ani were given a full ex- ation on the points touched. nong the men who afe members 1f s order for a number of years and 0 are known to all Plainfleld people are Superintendent Butterworth and John W.

The degree work will be in charge of the officers of Court Moosup, and the court will be Instituted by High Chief Ranger Congressman William Kennedy of Nauratuck or Past High Chief Ranger William W. Bent of Bridgeport. A committee consisting of Brothers George Desrosiers, Exavier Guertin and Peter Herbert were ap- pointed to arrange for refreshments for the visiting members.

RID STOMAGH OF GASES,SOURNESS, AND INDIGESTION “PAPE’S DIAPEPSIN” ENDS ALL STOMACH DISTRESS IN FIVE MINUTES. You don’t want a slow remedy when wyour stomach is bad—or an uncerta:n one—or a harmful one—your stomach is too valuable; you mustn’t injure it with drastic drugs. Pape’s Diapepsin is noted for {i's speed in giving relief; its harmless- ness; its certain unfailing action m regulating sick, sour, gassy stomacha. Its millions of cures in indigestion, dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach trouble has made it famous the world over. Keep this perefect stomach doctoer 1n your home—keep it handy—get a large fifty-cent case from any drug etore and then 1f anyone should eat something which doesn’t agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes head- ache, dizziness and nausea; eructa- tions of acid and nndlgested fooud —remember as soon as Pape's Diapep- sin comes in contact with the stomacn all such-distress vanishes. Its promp:- ness, certainty and ease in overcoming the worst stomach di «lation to those who try it. of this board to report to the legisia- ture the probable income and the probable expense of the state for the two years following and then when the bills carrying appropriations are final- ly in the board of control shall cut and slash in order that the appropriations might not exceed the income. In order to effect such a purpose, it will be necessary for the legislature to pass a law which would require that only by a two-thirds or a five-sixt vote could efther house increase an a. propriation which has been recom- mended by the board of control. Another matter, and one which is almost as important, in the eyes .f some of the republican lezders, is t.e matter of providing some method of paying the present Indebtedness of the state. At present there is no such method, and it is believed by many that provision should be made by this legislature for a sinking fund to take care each year of the interest on the state debt and also of some of the principal. That would be a simple matter if the appropriations for the next’ two years are kept within the appropriations. At the end of the financial year 1913, Sept. 30, the total debt of the state was $8,934,917.04. The interest on this amount yearly would be about $300,000. That would meamn that un- less the appropriations are kept with- in the income the receipts of over a third of a mill state tax would be re- quired to pay the interest. If pro- vieion were made in the appropria- tlons for the payment of the interest, then a half mill tax each year womd provide about $600,000 for a sinking | fund to wipe out the bonded indebtei- ness, which amounted on Sept. 39, 1913, to $7,064,100, consisting of bonds due in 1934 and 1936, As a sample of the manner in which appropriations, without regard to the income of the state, are sometimes made, the year ending Sept. 30, 1913, is a good one. The receipts for that year, as given in the state treasurer’s report, were $7,192,045.83, while the expenses were $9,062,857.87. It necessary to arrange in that year for temporary loans of $1,745,000. The fiscal year referred to did not come under the jurisdiction of the last legis- lature, whose appropriations ran from the end of that year.

The German imperial health office, for a period of 10 years, records repeated outbreaks, in one of which there were 172 cases of this disease in man, 68 of which were traced to in- fection through milk. During one ep.- demic 26 human beings died from th.s disease; during another, 23, and duricg a third, 16. All the epidemics in man occurred simultaneously with foot an mouth disease of cattle in the infected districts, The symptoms in children resemble | in the cow very closely. There ver, sometimes vomiting, painful'| swajlowing‘ heat and dryness of thc mouth, followed by the eruption o vesicles in the mouth and very rarely by similar blisters on the fingers. The vesicles appear on the lips, gums, cheek and edge of the tongue, and are about the size of a pea. They soon rupture, leaving a small erosion, which is soon covered by a thin crust and when such sores occur the dis- ease is transferred from person to person by contact. The micro-organ- ism is so small that it cannot be seen with the highest powers of the micru- scope; it was the first virus proven to be ulfra-microscoplc in size. The teaching of pasteurization of milk in public schools, as provided by the vote of the state board of educa- tion April 22, 1914, will prevent this disease In school children i there should be an outbreak in Connecticut, and as great good can be derived from further extending this teaching, I ask that you confer with Dr. J.

A reckless party of auto- mobilists put an end to the activities of the little dog that was known from one end of the country to the other among Moosers.

Waldo Kennedy national director of the Loyal Order of Moose. A special cofin was made and the body of “Moosie” was laid on a lux- urious pillow of cilk. The funeral party that accompanied the coffin from the South Station to Putnam, Conn. included Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, their son, who is the youngest member of the Moose fraternity, and prominent officials of the lodge in Boston. During a drizzling rain the last honors were ‘paid to the mascot beneath a huge elm tree on the farm where “Moosie’ * was born. Flowers were cast upon the pine coffin. before the grave was co¥ered with earth. * Pleased With Visit to Norwich.
