It is announced that Boss Fyler, the reputed head of the Republican State machine. favors ExIGov. McLean's s candidacy for the succession to Sen ator Bulkeley's seat at Washington. F'yler is supposed to carry the vote of Litchfield county in his pocket and to wield considerable influence in other counties. But the most impor- tant point connected with the an nouncement of his Mclean position, is the natural inference that the State machine is antagonistic to Senator Bulkeley's candidacy for reelection. It may have decided that Bulkeley' S votes upon tariff duties, which were ever in favor of increasing the cost of living, constitute too heavy a bur- den for the party to shoulder. This would be a very reasonable conclu- sion and quite in accord with public sentiment. Quite a number of pub lie men have committed hari-kari by their tariff votes.

 And he saw also, a certain poor wid- ow casting in thither two mites.

cDNGREssMAN HILL AND
 INCOME TAXATION

c,unrressman Hill has voted against the constitutional amendment author ixing Congress to impose a general in- como tax, notwithstanding the facts that 1t enjoys White House endorse ment, and that he has been accredit- cd as approving all Taft policies. He would, however. approve general in como tax in time of war, but not in fiine of peace. If governmental ex- pdnditures exceed revenue. he would reduce expenses, but it has been found Impossible to persuade Repub- lican Congresses to be economical in xappropriations MT. Hill's remedy for . deficit is excellent, but impossible under Republican rule. The Republi- can policy is evidently to make expen- datz1res SO heavy that there cannot possibly be surplus which would call for tarin reduction.
 Mr HdH voted in committee for the inheritance tax, although asserting that the special session of Congress yvas called for the exclusive purpose of tarim revision and not for the levy dfiw of direct taxes. There is perhaps no more unjust tax than the inheri- fauce tax, and it would be doubly un- 5ust if a Federal tax were added to tho State tax. Imposition of the for mer would quite probably Nnecessitate repeal of the State tax, for the injus- flee of a. double tax would so demand. Tn fact, any inheritance tax is unjust. for 1t is levied upon property which hae already paid the regular taxes. We confess to surprise that MT. Hill yot- ed for the proposed Federal inheri- tance tax.
 He says that he has not yet decided whether or not he will support the corpofate income tax. As the pending constitutional amendment authorizes both corporate and individual income taxes, and he has voted against it, we do not see how MT. Hill can consist entIy support the corporate tax, not withstanding it's Taft origin and his alleged approval of White House poli- cies In fact, we would naturally be- 1ieye that he would be found upon the side of the corporations, and we are inclined to believe that if the direct issue upon a corporate income tax, unoomplicated with other issues, comes before the House, he will vote against it.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-07-14

The Norwich Bulletin Rep.l con- .siders Speaker Cannon's explanation of the omission of MT. Hill's name from the list of tariff conferees as s'reasonable and satisfying" If 1t be true, as reported, that the omission ts largely due to the influence of Sen- atoFs Bulkeley and Brandegee. and that their action was inspired by the motive of revenge upon GIill for hay ing dared to run for Senator against Hrandegee. the position taken by the Hu1ietin is quite intelligibIe. :.
