Scores of county correspondents in Windham county towns for papers published within and outside of the country read with more than passing interest Thursday of the bill that has been introduced in the Connectlcut legislature providing that such corre- spondents must be licensed, at a fee of $10 a vear, and undergo certain mental tests as to their ability to write in a scientific, legal, socially correct and highly harmonious manner as it were, the fact that “John Jones spent Thursday in Putnam As a matter of fact, scores of these eorrespondents send in little items that are to many people who are subscrib- ers to the papers that print the items, of more interest than some of fhe stories that are featured. The little two-line personals are messages from home. Those who write them fre- quently get as sole compensation a subscription to the paper that prints them. Others of these correspondents earn &rom 15 to 30 cents a week. Obliging these correspondents to pay $10 a year for the privilege of being jouurnalists is hardly an edifying ex- ample of what might honestly be ex- pected from men who command suf- ficient respect in their home towns to get elected fo the legislature.
