less lavish in their expenditures. But
having had their demands met in the
past, they consider that their demands
will be met as readily. To disabuse
their minds of that idea, ii is well to
take the people into confidence now and
then and let them know the exact con-
dition Of the treasury and the funds to
meet the regular budget, in much the
same way as was done by the ways and
means committee in the House yester-
day. As was well said, there is limit
to the extent of corporation taxation
and when that limit is reached there will
be the only alternative of a state tax.
For several years the state has been
jumping the corporation tax, and the
limit l. about reached. Before the al.
tentative Of a state tax is required,
hadn't we better 90 little slow? The
Times would not advocate a ruthless
slaughter Of all the appropriation meas
ures now before the assembly, because
that would not be expedient, in asmuch
as several Of them are absolutely neces-
sary. The Times would, however, recon.
mend a thorough wedding out of the
others.

moving right out-some

some in bundles under their
arms--last Saturday morn

bought late in the season,
for cash, and at a decidedly
less figure. Prices we're

are way below the actual
retail value Of the suits and

who have been here and
purchased realized that fact.

NOTES AND COMMENT
ON THE LEGISLATURE

The principal business Of the House
yesterday afternoon was the killing Of
bills. The agricultural bill reducing the
board to one member suffered its fate
with the rest although the vote on il
was 100 20 Ill. Several amendments
changing the proposed salary of the
commissioner were proposed which were
all and severally killed. The SALARY
amendment proposals ranged from ST.
900 to $1,000. The killing OF this bill
Is Il slap TO the administration which
Is committed TO concentration Of state
offices and commissions. A joint reso.
luton by Mr.. Williams Of Newport was
adopted which provides for a report on
the necessary extension Of the state
hospital for the insane at Waterbury
in 1910.
The Smallpox" announcement in the
Senate on Wednesday afternoon fell
like bomb shell in the ranks OF an
unsuspeeting multitude OF pleasure
seekers. Senator v. w. Gibson told th1
members of that body how the town Of
Brattleboro was in the throes OF a small
pox epidemic in which his own son was
taken down and the son Of Attorney
General G. G. Fits. There are about
20 cases in the town. Both Senator
Gibson and Attorney. General Fits
were home over Sunday returning here
Monday but they are informed by ply
sieians that there is no danger Of their
communicating the disease up here.
They win be kept here, however, until
the disease has run its course in the
families, There have been q. number
OF cases Of disease in Brattleboro lately
among children which physicians, until
few days ago. had every reason 10 be.
lieye was chicken p0x. Wednesday it
was pronounced TO be smallpox and
every effort is being taken 10 check the
spread. Mr.. Fits boy Is just about i'll
enough TO be in the house and most of
the twenty cases appear to be light. The
physicians have no idea from what
quarter the disease originated. Tax
Commissioner Cushman was sitting
with the ways and means committee on
Monday and in the course of an arg,i-
ment a discussion on estimates rela.-
ing to the states finances and in sup
porting the idea of leaving a small mar
gin on the right side Of the ledger for
emergencies remarked that an epidemic
OF smallpox would set the state back
some. Little was il thought then that
the next day would bring forth the real
thing.
Several hearings are set for this
evening. One will be held in the SUI
preme court room on the normal school
bill, one viii be given in the coat room
before the telephone investigating com
mittee and another win be given before
the committee on elections on the con
tested Wndham county case On Wed.
nesday evening another hearing will be
given before the Senate Judiciary COM
mittee ON the trustee process bill.

peals to the minister from the first
moment he sits by the side of the in
jured girl. The play from that mo-
ment is worked out along thoroughly
simple and legitimate lines Polly
wins the heart of the minister and
learns to love him. She has no desire
to return to her former life. But Cos
siping neighbors tell her that her con-
tinued presence in the minister's
home will cost him his pastorate.
Sacrificing all her ambitions she goes
back to the tent and the sawdust
ring, where the clergyman later finds
her, and the difficulties are explained
away. The last tableau shows the re-
united lovers standing on the deserted
site of the circus grounds watching
the wagons disappearing across the
hills. In the last act is shown a three
ring circus in active operation with
