" Only a few voted for the motion of Mr. Bowen. which was defeated. After a numbeI of questions from various members of the House. Mr. Scoville. took the floor in a careful analysis of the whole representation. He said that the Republican state con- vention in Hartford. last September. decided that something should be done to revise the constitution of the state in regard to representation. anti that the Democrats in New Haven fol. Iowed.’l‘heChutdeld plan was reported favorably. he said. by a committee made. up of six Republicans and two Democrats. equally divided between cities and small towns. "0f the speak- ersbefore the committee." said Mr. Scoville. "about one-quarter were In fa. tor of leaving the constitutiun'us it now is. about one-half in favor of the Chutiield plan appeared.“ He said the plan of the committee was a compro- mise standing between towns and pop- ' ular representation. The committee thought that the present condition was entirely unjustifiable. and that the Chatileld plan was the best that could be arranged to meet the requirements of all parties. Mr, Chatiield, of New Haven. then explained his bill. He said that the city representatives had made no at- tempt to “get together and force some- thing upon the country members. but were merely desirous of securing some fair arrangements to all sides." He said that the (‘hatfleld plan should really have come from the. small towns themselves. as it left the, towns in control of the. politics of the state III their hands. There was ll demand by the cities for more members to ban- dle the business. There were fourteen towns that had put in no bills, and that had not been heard on the floor of the House. ”This plan.‘ said Mr. Chat» iield. “reduces the size of the House from the toplIeavy 255 members to 204. which will remain unchanged. All other plans arranged for the increase each ten years of from ten to twenty- tlve representatives." Mr. Hubbard. of hitcht‘lcld. “speaking from a small town standpoint." said he always had believed in the. principle of the Connecticut representation. that he would like to see a plan adopted giv- ing each town' one representative. but that In default of that he was ready to‘ accept the Cbatileld plan. "This." he said. “gives the towns a chance to make a good bargain now and settle this question for all time.” Mr. Bowen, of Woodstock. president ofthe Legislative Farmers" Assoclt tlon. claimed to be "a reasonably pl!)- gressive man." and said that. because of that he was unable to see where the ‘iustice or fairness" of this reform movement was to be found. lie said that the "town government plan of New England was the best government on the face of the earth today." There was no call, as far as he could see. for any change In the representation meth- od. He ridiculed the Challield plan. calling It. a “brevet” plan. giving each town a piece of an "anomalous legisla- tor." He. called it “an entering wedge forcing the. towns to recognize. the prin» ciple. of representation by population." Said Mr. Bowen. "We should have no district representatmives as they have in Massachusetts where a town sends a representative once in twenty years. The country towns will not surrender town rights. the strongest next to in dividual rights." He hoped that the present. system would be continued. Mr. Chatiield asked Mr. Bowen If he was proud of the present system as It Is today Mr Bowen said that he was aware of the inequity of giving one town one and another town two more sentatives. but that the towns agreed to that as a bargain with the state and ”should stick by their bargain" Mr. Lhatfleld wanted to know If Mr Bowen meant that the towns hhd made a bad bargain. and should be. made to stand by It. Mr. Bowen said he thought that was so Mr. Griswold, of Guilford In along speech. argued that there was no do mand for reform, that nothing needed to be reformed, that the Chattield plan was very unfair to all concerned and that it was "merely a step toward the iniquitous district system." in the midst of Mr. Griswold‘s speech Mr. Scovllle Interrupted, saying that if Mr. Griswold “wasgoing to talk all day, why all right, but he himself want- ed to get. a vote." Mr. Griswold re- plied that he had a right to speak as long as he wanted to and proposed to exercise that right. (Applause l After he had nnlsh Mr. Hitchcock of Woodbory. in a, ong address, op- posed the Chstileld plan. Mr. Smith. of Hartford, briefly stat- ed that the cities did not want to con trol. but did want to have sufficient representation with which to do their business.
