President Taft favors graduated inheritance tax as ready means of increasing the governments revenue and as 'correct in principle Connec- ticut already has an inheritance tax, and it is justly called double taxation. for estates have previously been taxed in the regular way if assessors have fulfilled their duty. A Federal tax, as proposed by President Taft, would therefore mean triple taxation. It would be akin to confiscation.

There is a report that Ex-Vice Pres ident Fairbanks who has been a negli- gible quantity politically for four years, will seek election to Senator Beveridge's seat in 1911. The latter being of the progressive type, and the former classed as a radical conserva- tive, it is somewhat probable that Beveridge will be reelected, unless public sentiment in the West changes very materially befre 1911.

State Treasurer Patten recommends such an increase of the inheritance tax as will produce twice as much revenue as at present, and also the reimposi- tion of the State tax on towns. There is no doubt that the state in popular parlance, needs the money" and also no doubt that the General Assembly will not reduce expenditures to the limit of present revenue.
 Both the taxes recommended are un- popular, the inheritance tax because it is in effect, double tax, provided the deceased has during life paid taxes upon his property: the tax on towns because those assessing property at full valuation would pay more propor- tionately than those assessing at less than full value. For these reasons and under exsisting conditions, both of the taxes recommended would work injustice. The only reasons for their imposition are that they are easily col lectible and that the state needs the money.'

TARIFF DUTY ON COFFEE.

The suggestion that, in view of the Government need of revenue a tariff duty be levied upon coffee, was recent ly set afloat in a very quiet manner. It was not given much attention, for a tariff duty on coffee, which is not pro- duced in this country or it's dependen- dencies, has always been regarded as a free trade measure and. as such, could not be expected to pass Republican Congress.
 The only legitimate reasons for the imposition of such a duty would be the protection of an infant industry and a pressing need of revenue. As stated, we have no such infant indus try, though there is some slight possi- bility of coffee production in Porto Rico and the Philippines. But ser ies of years would be required to even stat the culture, even if climatic and other conditions were found to be favorable. As to an increased revenue thare is need of 1t, but it has ever been a Republican principle that all tarin duties should protect home in- dustries. and coffee is not such now nor likely to become such for years to come, if ever.
 There is, however. what may be call- ed an illegitimate reason for the im- position of duty of five cents per pound on coffee. as suggested. It ap- pears that abnormally large crops in Brazil have resulted in the storage of great surplus which has reached the control of spectators. Imposition of a tarim duty. to go into effect on some future date, would bring about the shipment of that surplus here before that date, and then the price would at once advance by the amount of the du- ty affording profit, it is estimated, of about $75,000.00o.
 From this coffee, the government would receive no revenue; consumers would pay cents more per pound, and thus the holders of the coffee would profit the full-amount of the duty. There would be neither protection of an infant industry nor revenue for the government.
 If the government is in such urgent reed of increased revenune as calls for a tariff duty on coffee, the date of its going into effect should be so early that this surplus stock cannot reach our ports in time to escape it.

AFTER CHAPS" OF THE CONTEST

A notable point in most of the conn., ments by the managers and support CTS of the Hill forces in the Senatorial contest upon the result, is that his candidacy has made splendid begin ming for the next time. The term of Senator Bulkeley will expire on March 4th, 1911. and his successor will be chos- en by the General Assembly to be elected next year. That is "the next time'' referred to by MT. Hills friends will come next year, 1910. As Sena- tors very seldom retire voluntarily. MT. Bulkeley will probably be a can- didate for reelection.
 Had he, this year, refrained from aiding Senator Brandegee, it is quite probable that MT. Hill would have re- ceived the nomination, and the way would have been cleared for his own (Bulkeley's) reelection next year. But he, instead, aided the Brandegee can- didacy and must now confront MT. Hill with exceedingly dubious chances of success. Not even the Bulkeley "bar- rel" supported by the Bulkeley inf1u- ence,i will give him more than "a fight i'm chance"
 The Hartford Courant says that at one time MT. Hill seemed to have &C., tually won, but the prize slipped away Tuesday" This slipping away appears to have been coincident with Senator Bulkeley's active appearance upon the scene. We are strongly inclined to be- lieve that Brandegee owes his success to his colleague and that, therefore, he will even more than heretofore car- ry out the ''Me Too' role.
 Quite a number of prominent Repub- 1icans of this city visited Hartford, Monday and Tuesday, to labor in the Brandegee interest, among them Sheriff Ex-City Attorney Marr and Drs. God frey and Banks. 1t scarcely need be said that there is hereafter for them and that the local Hill men have long memories.
 If Fairfield county gave small ma jority for Brandegee, as is alleged by some it must be accredited to the la bors of Sheriff Hawley and his depen- dents. the deputy sheriffs. It will hardly be forgotten.
 Of course. in that "next time," the Statet machine will favor Bulkeley. It has great respect for the man with the barrel" as was indicated by it's ready response to Brandegee's s5,000 subscrip- ton to the campaign of last year. Thus, the Senatorial contest of 1910 will be, as in the one just ended, be- tween the machine and the people. but possibly the Republican rank and file will be more careful in the selection of senators and representatives. It is in the town and city caucuses that the Hill- Bulkeley contest will practically he decided.

Houston, Texas, July 2S.-With re-
ports from all sections of the coast
country, visited by the storm, still in
complete today, the property loss is
conservatively estimated at some
thing over $1,0O0,0OO. The loss of
life is extremely light, considering
the wide scope of country covered by
the storm and the damage wrought.
When the casualty records are COM
plete it is now believed they will show
that not more than fifteen lives have
been lost. AT Palacios there were no
casualties. Relief trains were sent
there principally because the Baptist
people were anxious to get away and
return to their homes and allay the
anxiety of their home people. The
relief fund started in this city is
growing rapidly and as soon as COM
plete communication is restored with
the devastated districts a committee
will make an investigation and de-
eide upon some definite plan of aid
ing the sufferers.

LARGEST PECAN NUT ORCHARD
In Existence Will Be Planted In "a.
vaIa County This Year.
CHerald SpecIal.)


San Antonio, Texas, July 23.-Za.
vala county will in the near future
be able to boast of having the largest
pecan nut orchard in existence. A
tract of one thousand acres, part OF
the well known "77'' ranch, has been
acquired by Edgar B. Marchant OF
Clinton, Okla, and Garnett o. Fields
of Aline, Okla, and will be planted
with pecans as soon as the season
permits.
The land bought is proven pecan
land and large forest of wild pc
cans has stood on it since the first
settlements were made in that part
of the southwest. One of the trees
is over six feet in circumference.
The owners intend to plant forty
trees to the acre, or forty thousand in
all, and it is expected that in ten
years the crop will be worth on an
average of 5000 per acre.
