As the result of experience We are now of the opinion that this phrase should be stricken out. Many of the farmers of this state take out compen- sation policies, and farming, as exper ence in this work has shown, is a haz- ardous occupation; some of the worst injuries which we see are from modern farm machinery. A young man living on his father's farm and working on the farm, if he sustains an ‘industrial acci- dent, is without remedy at pres-mt. Sound public policy in this day of dimin- ished farm production and rising cos of living indicates that boys should be encouraged to stay on the farm and the provision as It now existd is a direct uiscouragement. Eye Injuries. These_amendments above outlined in- clude aii,that we deem it within the strict scope of our ‘duty to suggest. We do, however, feel that we should call to tthe -attention of the legislature certaln diffieulties connected with the due ad- ministration of the “provisions of Sec- tion 5352, as amended, and we take up first for consideration Schedule G re- lating to eve injuries. That seaiion mow reads: “For the complete and permanent loss of sight in one eye or the reduc- tion in one eye ‘to oneenth or loss of 104 weeks.” Wide Discrepancles—This, taken In connection, with ot'y'r provisions of this €ection, makes it our very common duty to pass upon percentage of loss of vi- slofl.

EGAN OPPOSED TO MOUNTED CONSTABULARY The establishing of & mounted police constabulary sich as is favored by the state and Is provide] for in a pro- posed Dill to be submiited to the next general assembly is considered unnec- essary by Superintendent Thomas F. Egan of the state ndlice, who. in com- menting on the proposition pointed out that such a constabulary would in effect be a duplication of the work mow be- ing done by the state police and at such an excessive cost that, whutsoever ad- vantage such an organization mizht have in rural sections, it would be pro- hibitive. Despite the stefements of proponents of the measure in Connecticut that state constabulary would in n fect the status of thé state po! the ninth paragraph of the proposed bil which “shall be construel as repealing all_acts or parts of acis which may | conflict with its provision: would in fect mean the doinz away with e pres. ent organization of state police, for th work of necessity corresponds with that now being done by the state polce. ‘The proposed bill provides for an ap- propriation of $300,000 for the organiza- tin and equipment of the constabu'ary although other estimates surgest that $300,000 is a minimum figurs nd that $350.000 ‘or more Wou'd be the ual cost to the state.
