600 worth of property-an evasion
which had to be made good out of the
purses of the people.
Pillsbury said that in 1907 3s per cent
of the Southern Pacific company's mile
age was in California and that 13 per
cent of the Santa Fe mileage also was
in this state. Based on the market
value of the stocks and bonds of the
two companies when the assessment
was made, the Southern Pacific's Cali
fornia properties amounted to $166.507,- :
Otpl l.
real property of the people OF Califor-
mia was assessed at so per cent of its
actual value. Had the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe companies been assessed
on the same basis, Pillsbury said, the
Southern Paciic's assessment would
have been s99,904,631 and the Santa
Fe's $s7.492.62o. The actual assess
the Southern Pacific and S26,646,679 for
the Santa Fe. A friendly state board
of equalization permitted the people of
California to pay taxes on S25,010,S53
for the Southern Pacific and $10,S45. .941
for the Santa Fe.
EyADE TAXES 20 YEARS
The glaring inequalities of assess
ments as levied on the people and on
the railroads were shown, Pillsbury
said. by the taxation for 1904, when
the farmers of California paid taxes
amounting to OLA of the actual value
of their farms, which at that rate
would be consumed in So years. The
railroads paid in taxes .0045 of the
actual value of their properties, which,
at that rate, would be consumed in 222
years.
In conclusion Pillsbury said that the
railroads had been enabled to evade
81 for each 81 paid in taxes during
the last 25 years, and that the enor-
nous aggregate OF the taxes Sn1rked
by the railroads had been taken out
of the peoples pockets by public of
6cjals who were in fact, servants of
the corporations which put them into
Office.
Chester II. Rowell of Fresno, state
secretary and organizer, entered Wig
orous denial of the report circulated by
machine organs that he was the
leagues candidate for United States
senator. Rowell said:
MANY maliciously inaccurate state
ments have been made about the
league by the unfriendly press. The
league has not concerned itself with
the candidacy of any man. 1t is con-
cerned with winning first the May
primaries and later the August prima-
ries and restoring the machinery of our
state government and the government
of the republican party to the people.

GRAFTON of Clubs in
Boston.
RICHMOND AS AN EXAMPLE.
SHE TELLS THE CONVENTION OF
THE GREAT WORK BEING Ac.
coMPLIsHED IN THIS CITY BY
ART ASSOCIATION.
RICHMOND AS AN EXAMPLE,

Boston, Mass, June 25-Mrs. NJ. F..
Johnston, president of the Art Asso-
citation of Richmond, Ind. was the
principal speaker at the Woman's s
Federation of Clubs here yesterday.
Mrs. Johnston spoke on Art" She
is well qualified as a speaker through
her acquaintance with the artists of
the country and her position at Rich
mond. The art association of that city
which has a population of about
10000. is recognized throughout the
United States as one of the leading
associations. It's members are pro-
gressive and deeply interested in the
welfare of the organization and the
promotion of a general interest in art.
The association at Richmond Is one
of the few in the west that is we'll
known by reputation in the eastern
art centers. The fact that the associa-
ton has a fund from which it makes
annual purchases of art productions is
a matter of importance to eastern art
lists and many Of them who ignore 9TH
er western associations send pictures
to Richmond
Eastern critics say that in the last
two years there has been tendency
at Richmond to reduce the number of
pictures and hang only those Of great
merit. This brings about a better un-
derstanding of the true merits Of art.
Mrs. Johnston is an accomplished
woman and her address was interest
ing and pleasing. She said in part:
Wherever people are wanting more
beauty in public life and are trying TO
do something at first hand to bring
the pleasure of art TO all the residents
of a community. the story of the art
association of Richmond ought to be
helpful" She went on to describe
the birth and growth of the associa-
ton telling what it had accomplished.
American painters have been much
interested in the Richmond exhibit
ton" she said, and generous in ex-
hibiting. The attendance at these ex-
hibitions has equalled the astonishing
number of half the population. Forty
neighboring towns sent visitors to this
years exhibit. The standard of taste
in Richmond has been raised while
the display of handicrafts is changing
the ideas of the beautiful In all en-
vironment which are seen and used
daily. We hope to keep this democrat
ic art movement in Richmond for 25
wears. SO that a generation of children
may grow under it's influence"

THE VOTING MACHINES
Will Be Used d November Flee.
 lion Says Mayor Ihems.

Mayor Thoms is home to-day after few days absence on business con nected with the sewage disposal plant. The mayor said he though. some of attending the meeting of the American League of Municipalities at Omaha, but he could not spare, the time. His honor was asked If he had anything to give out regarding the talk about the use of machines at the coming election and in reply he said:
 "The voting machines give us q fair and clean election, with a speedy and accurate count. They do away with the nuisance of ticket and paster peddling at the polls, and any voter can vote for anyone he likes, whether nominated or not, in abso- lute secrecy. They tend to reduce vote buying to a minimum, for there is no possible way that the buyer can be sure that his purchase Is de- liyered, while there are scores O: ways under the old envelope system.
 The machines were adopted by the board of aldermen last year for use in future elections in Waterbury. and were actually operated at the last election with great success. AL though I know, of course, that there is considerable objection to their use from candidates who fear that their individual interests may suffer on election day, 1t seems to me that their operation Is fair to everybody. Nor do think there is any reasona- ble possibility that the election of any candidate, by use of the voting machine, would be upset by the courts. I shall therefore direct the registrars of voters to proceed to hold the November election using the voting machines, as provided by vote of the board of aldermen.
 Should anyone feel aggrieved by this action he has plenty of time to seek in the superior court whatever remedy he desires or thinks he is en- titled to by law"

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

-Mr and Mrs John Flynn of Charles street moved to Providence to-day.
 John Flood has accepted posi- tion in Leary's barber shop on Bank street.
 Thomas Cavanaugh of the Brooklyn engine house, who will captain the Baldwin street house when it is ready, is on a nine days vacation.
 The Naugatuck Valley confer ence will meet at the Third Congre- gational church on Tuesday, October 20. The members of the conference will discuss several church matters. They will have dinner in the church parlors.
 Tt is nearly time that the Brook lyn Improvement society was heard from. It is several months since the members have had a meeting and the people are beginning to think that the society has passed into oblivion. There are many things that the so- ciety can do, and there is no reason why they should not be up and doing them. It would be strange to have the society disband at this time.
 Two men had an informal bout at the corner of Bank and Porter street last evening, and one of them was badly pummeled. It was a for eigner who was walloped. receiving shower of blows in the face which dropped him in short order. His eyes were a sight short time later. The man who received the beating was about to go the prosecuting at- torney's office to have warrant made out for the one who hit him, but after talk with the heavyweight he agreed to, settle the case. The fel- low who dio the punching paid his opponent $20 as balm for his feel ings and thus the matter was kept out of court.
 Complaint has been made to the health department in regard to the odor in Brooklyn the past week or more. The Brooklynites now claim that the nauseating fumes come from the acid factory and declare 1t is nuisance that should be abated. For years the Brooklyn people have been all kinds of noxious gases, first from the U. G. I. plant and then from the acid shop. About year ago the gas plant was blamed for tae smell. but now 1t seems the acid fac tory is causing the trouble The health department as yet has taken no action in regard to the matter. The malodorous atmosphere IS in evil dence on damp and cloudy evenings only.

THE DRY SEASON.
Sending Many to Wells and Springs
 for Water Supply.

for Water Supply.
 The dry season was a God send to people who deal in spring water and has also given people better idea than they ever had before of the value of their wells All the wells are in big demand and in some in- stances youngsters are making lit, tie money out of them. The pitcher is very much in evidence in all parts of the town and women who never carried a vessel to well before are mighty glad now to get a chance to haul up bucketful of the sparkling fluid, turn it into her white pitcher and hurry home with it. The aver age school boys are somewhat anus ed at the story of the Oriental water vendors, but after this season the youth of Waterbury will have had some experience in that line them selves and will know more about the business than they ever could learn from books.
 Many claim the Branch water ie not so bad as represented while oth- CTS make all sorts of faces when talking about 1t and act as though they wished they hadn't any water at all, if they can't get better than what comes through their faucets now. The trouble with Waterbury people is they don't know what it is to use poor water, and as a con- sequence any little change from the best puts them out of sorts.

M. J. Leary Talked of for Freight
 and Passenger Agent.

There is a rumor around the freight yards that NJ. J. Leary, gem eral freight and passenger agent of the Connecticut company will suc- ceed c. s. Lake, superintendent of the western division. If change were to be made in the superintend- eney the appointment of Mir Leary would be pleasing to the people of this city where he has always been big favorite. Still the story of Mir Lakes going is not likely to cons true right away.
 It is said that the local yard has been eongested for some time be- cause of scarcity Of help-only about the usual number of men be- ing employed.
