A bill came favorably reperted from the committes on education which ‘would permit boys over 12 years of age to- leave school to work on the farm, 0o harm. Mr. Hall of New Milford opposed DBill a3 reported but had mo_objection to confining the boys affected to work 'on ' the farms of parents or. guardians. Mr. Curry offered amendment that only such boys as now reside on farms shall be employed on the farms where they reside, thereby _giving farmers ‘opportunity” to get. the assistance of their own. boys. -The bill limits the 3 E Manchester op- posed. _The amendment was adopted. Mr. Sherwood opposed -the bill and said it was a crime to have a boy of that age work from sun to sun, and that enough work could be got out of that boy before and after school hours. Mr. Fox opposed the bill and eusg- gested that we try out the criminais of the state at farming before trying 1t on the boys of tender age. Mr: Curry said it would do no harm to_take boys from the school to the farm for a few hours a day when thelr service meant increased crops at a time when needed more than ever. Mr. Hiscox of Coventry said he wae 2 farmer and was proud of it, and no farmer would compel his boy to work any harder than he ought to and with- out detriment to the boy. Mr. Fish of Newington favored the bill but he would prefer -a broader scope. so_that the labor of the boys would not b confined to their farm home. Mr. Meyers of Windsor said this was a grand .biu for the farmers and would work no damage to the boys, as they would be out of school enly at planting time. Mr. Peasley favored the bill was only light work for the bovs, and the brief absence from school would be no detriment In these war times the services of these boys are needed, and he said the bill ought to pass. Mr. Hall of New Milford favored the bill as amended. Mr. Brown of New as it ilford said that many things have been worked through the house as emergency measures that had no bearing on war matters, but he did not consider this bill in tI patri- otic class. Mr. Waitt of Sharon could see no reason why the farmer’s son ehould be penalized and not given the same show as the other boys in the town. The boy could not make up for lost school time and would be placed behind his schoolmates, the sons of the painter, the carpenter and the blacksmith. He Hoped the bill would not pass. « Mr. Corbett of Hartford said he was brain and build up citizens worthy the state. Mr. Goddard - of ~ Wallingford - said that “schoolmasters considered athlet- ics necessary and suggested that farm- ing be substituted, and he favored the measure. Mr. Dillon of Huntington said this bill wae surely a patriotic measure just at this time and should be so consid- ered, that crops were necessary, labor was scarce, and the boys could do their bit, 2nd for their benefit the state. Mr. Fenton of Willimantic said the federal government is working out a plan for boys' work on the farm and he ‘did niot believe it would be to their detriment. He favored the bill, as it merely gave the boy a chance to heip out his daddy without violation of the law. Mr. Averill of Washington said in bis boyhood days it was not necessary for his parents to go to the state board to get him out of school to help on the farm, and he-did not think the work injured him in any way. He said the bill was for the public good, as farm ‘products were essential to life. In closing Mr. Cowles, chairman of the committee, said to send children to school and work them before and after is_cruelty to children. The bill was passcd as amended by a Vote of. 124 to 53. Sale of Oieomargarine. According to an act passed no per- son ehall manufacturs, sell, offer or expose for sale, or have in possession with intent to eell, or use, oleomar- garine, bubtlerine or removated butter, unless’ annually licensed by the dalry and food commissioner. ~Such license shail be issued in the form approved by the dairy and food commissioner. shall be hung in the place where such business is .conducted and- shall con- tain the name of the licsnsee and a description of the . premises wherein such business is to be conducted, and such license shall expirt Sept. 30th in each year. The license fee is 325 to Wholesaler and $10 for retailer. Mr. Bustice of Plymouth opposed the bill, as it meant an increase in the cost of the products named to the-con- sumer. He spoke of the zood quall- ties ot ol e, the poor man’s butter, and is certified officially as a pure food product. Mr. Rose of Essex aid there was no deception in the sale of oleomargarine and at the present high price of butter the people of the state ought not be compelled to pay an advanced price for the pure substi- ‘tuts ‘He also considered a license fee of '$25 2 direct imposition on the Te- tall dealers. He could conceive of no Teason for adding to the burdens of these Mr. Fenton of Willi- mantic said this bill would be of no benefit to agriculturists, as they can- not now produce butter enough _ to serve the state. Mr. Kingsbury of Cov- entry favored the law, which would t the pubiic from being served ‘with .artificial butter. Mr. Holt said the bill in its intent was to prevent the ‘substitution of oleomargarine for butter. Nowadays butter is sold at wholesale for .45 cents and will retall in the fall at 65 to 70 cemts. He was apposed to bill of this naiure as it meant an Increase e cost of living. Mr. Fox of New London sald oleomar- garine was accepted more now than heretofore and the only effect of the bill was to add to_the cost of living. Mr. Larrames of Willimantic said it was true that many people were glad to get oleomargarine at a price lower than butter.

Mr. Hall of New Milford moved the previous question and the motion pre- vailed. 20 Mr. Caine of Naugatuck, of the ex- cise committee, that reported unfavor- ably, made the closing argument in de- fense .of the committee report Ths committee report was accepted end bill Jost., Shell Fisheries Taxes. An amendatory act which was pass- ed in the house provides that all taxes and rentals collected by the shell fish- eries commission shall be paid .to the treasurer of the town and city in which the grounds are located. Wild Heres and Rabbits, The committee on fish and game re- ported favorably a bill which provides thaf no person shall hunt er take any wild hare or rabbit, except Belgian or German hares, between Jan. 1.and Oct. inclusive. No person shall hunt or take wild hare or rabbit except with trap or deadfall between Nov. 24 and Jan L o pemeon. shall use: a ferret n_hunting at any time. - Tabled calendar. No Military Training. The committee on. military 'affairs, due to a scarcity of military. instruct- ors and new conditions -that -have arisen, reported unfavorably the bill concerning the ~ military training of boys. Also reported unfavorably the Public Service Tax. An act was passed which specifies that al] companies furnishing, feasing r operating railroad cars, subject to * tax upon gross eariings as provided in chapter 188 of the public acts of 1915 as amended by chapter 150 of the public_acts of 1915, in the year 19 shall pay such tax upon gross earn- ings for the six months ended Decem- ber 31, 1916. The tax to be paid in the year 1918 and annually thereafter, ehall be levied on the gross earninzs for the fiscal year ended December thirty-first last preceding. Children Under Four, An amendatory act, concerning the commitment of children to county tem- porary homes, was discussed at much length. The amendment provided that the children under four years of age be received, instead of having that ege the minimum. Mr. Bailey, of Nor- wich, said selectmen had difficulty - in the care of children under four, and believed the best available place for these children are, in the county homes. True there was no facliities st present, but they ought to be pro- vided. At a hearing before a legis- lative committee at the capitol, At- torney William H. Shields of stated that every human being in the state was provided for except the child that had not attained the age of four years, and who is in nowise responsi- ble for its condition.
