The legislative comnnittee of the State Business Men's[ association is making a vigorous fight against the makeshift, milk and water majority report from Senator Barnum's special committee upon the public utilities question, and its arguments in opposi- tion thereto are so solid and irrefuta ble as to drive the advocates of the make shift into the statement that the as- sociation is aiding the opponents of the creation of a public utilities com mission to completely destroy all chance of the passage Of. any measure whatever. If the majority report is as described by the Association's repre- sentatives. better .Ao commission at all at the present time than such a practi- ca1ly powerleSs one as is proposed by the Barnum |bill.

COMPROMISE OF CoNFEREEs

The esannouncement that repeal of the 3arfn duty on hides depends upon the lncfusiohf of reduced duties on leather. ehoes. harness, etc, and that this ques- Hon must be. specifically presented to Ehe House,sreads like bit of jugglery. 6urely. the House confereee can cons .;8pnt to lreductions of rates fixed by 4zlesHouse. as ythe Senate conferees havesconsentedsto sto the, lessening or re- .oeae@ of Senate rates. It looks very .n1kefas E last ditch resort of the oppon- 1enfs Of free hides, who hope that the 0roposed reduction on leather and it's unansrfanfures win rally the advocates pf protective duties on these products b their support
 Az . matter sof fact. the manufac- Hurers Of shoes. etc. have stated that bR hides. arc made tfree. and theirsra material thus cheapened. they can :1eompete. with the world and will not ,needa apeotection-. Another fact is that 1shenAe rawematerial is freed of tarin dhsties, ftss ssmanufactures ehould either tbe also freed of duties or the rates ~roduced: that has long been a recog- nized .pfinciple and it accords with conlnon sense.
 Laker advices state that the con- -ferees have agreed upon free hides and oil. but have advanced some rates. as follows: Coal. 45 cents a ton: print Paper, s. 50 a ton: iron ore. 15 cents ton; lumber. rough $1-5o 8 thousand feet: one side finished. g: two sides drzished, $2.25; three sides finished, 0vtach may include tonguing and erooving. $z-621Ai four sides finished. 6; gloves, $4 per dozen pairs. not ex- ceeding IA inches in length. which is the standard length: exceeding IA iraches, 35 cents per dozen is added for each inch. This rate does not apply to the schmaschen. or cheap glove, on which the Senate rate of SIPS per dozen pairs is retained: hosiery. valued
 at $1 or less per dozen pairs. 70 cents, as against the Senate and existing rate of 50 cents: on values up to $2 the rate is slightly in excess of exist ing duties
 As may be noted. the House con- ferees yielded on coal. iron ore. lumber and print paper: the Senate conferees.. on hides and oil.

Meriden enjoyed the referendum, Saturday It was taken upon a pro- position to run, a trolley line to West Peak, the layout passing through a public park. The people voted it down by a majority of 53O. and it appears, at this distance, to have been wise action. Every city should have-a simi- lar privilege upon matters affecting its interests, alone. The people can be trusted in connection with their local affairs and are much more competent to reach right decision thereupon than are the members of the General As sembly.

Owing to the high cost of coal tar treatment of road surfaces, Highway Commissioner Macdonald has consent ed to the use of oil on State roads. but he proposes to use "an oil with an asphaltic base rather than the lighter oils" and announces that he has "al- ready taken steps to go over the en- fire macadam system with this char acter of oil" There is not the least doubt of the efficacy of oil as a pre- ventive of dust and as a preservative of road surfaces; the only question still at issue is as to its effect on rub Sber tires.

Since then the establishment has been obliged to work it's employees constantly and busily, even as late as up to 10 o'clock at night. Recently the managers of the plant have been obliged to decline or ders for goods owing to the fact that the house cannot fill them. Several of the largest automobile houses which
