CUMMINS FIRES
 PARTING SHOT
Gives Reasons Why He Cannot Vote for
 Tariff Bill as Reported.
APPLAUDS THE PRESIDENT
Special from United Press.

Especial from United PreSs.)
 Washington, Aug. 5.-Reasons why he could not vote for the tariff bill as reported by the conference com mittee were given by Senator Cum mins Republican. Iowa) in the Sen ate last night. As it was his final com ment on the subject at the present session of Congress the Senator's speech was received with deep inter est He expressed the opinion that the bill was better than any that could have been framed up for the people levying duties for revenue only He believed the rates were a little better than the Dingley law but when the other parts of the bill were considered he doubted whether it was any improvement over the existing statute.
 'I am opposed to the bill,'' he said. because tt is not such a revision of tariff as I have expended the best years of my life in fighting for and is not fair, reasonable performance Of the promise of our platform. This IS not a court of bankruptcy and l am not willing to accept ten cents on the dollar in discharge of the obliga- tion of the Republican party.
 "1 have witnessed with the deepest interest the controversy between the President and the conference con- Tnittee and I take this opportunity to express my admiration and applause TOT the courage and perSiStency of the President in attempting to secure lower rates. The range was very mar row and the President has done all that one could for the betterment of the bill. I do not doubt that if he had determined these duties from be- ginning to end and his unrestricted decision were embodied in the report now it would receive my enthusiastic support.
 My brother Senators will, am sure, acquit me of any intent to inn pugn their motives. They will there- fore. understand that I am not inn pugning their purposes. their patrio- tiSm, when I say that the majority which favors the duties of this bill and the Finance Committee which has given expression to this revision, have secuted the danger out of which the demand for revision arose, have ig- nored the only beneficial object which revision can accomplish, and have repudiated the rule for the measure ment of duties. which to me is as ob- ligatory as any article in the party faith.
 we are all fallible. The committee may be wrong; but even as they could which I have been contending no more can I vote for a revision which repudiates every reason I have ever given for a reduction of duties upon imports.
 There remains but one tribunal to which we can appeal for final decision and I go confidently once more to ask judgment at the hands of the Re- publican voters"

COMPROMISE OR DEADLOCK,
 WHICH?

Public sentiment has evidently been heard from by the General Assembly. Otherwise, the minority report upon public utilities would not probably have come so near to passage The test vote which was upon substitution of the minority tor the majority report. gave a negative majority of but one and -that would have vanished had Senator Holzer been present. His pres ersce would not, however, have changed the final result, for Senator Brooks, the presiding officer. would undoubt- eddy have broken the tie by voting in the negative. Nevertheless. the unex- pected size of the vote for substitu- tion was practically a significant ex- pression in flavor of a commission en- doyred with some effective powers, and the significance is increased by the fact that the Senate was originally Esspacked'' heavily against the creation of any public utilities commission whatsoever. Evidently, some of the Senators have become cognizant of "a great Hght,' from public sentiment.
 It is very gratifying to find the three Bridgeport Senators upon the right side of this question. Bridgeport's experience with public service corpora tfons, has mostly been of a very un- happy character, and it would have been exceedingly singular-in fact, in couprehensible-had the three local Senators been found upon the side of the corporations as against the people. Inndeed. if either of them entertains political ambitions, he would have com Initted hari-lzari had. he supported the majority report And it is understood that at least one of them is possessed of "the Mayorial buzz, and that since the dire aff1fction seized him, he has changed position upon sundry matters
 The matter now goes to the House which is expected to reject the major dty, and adopt the minority, report Then, the matter would go to con- ference committee, with the probable result of a. compromise between the two measures, unless the corporations should decide for deadlock and, thus ,5or no action.
 Senator Barnum who is accredited mistakenly or otherwise with the con- struction of the majority report, de- 3clares himself firmly opposed to the creation of any State commission to interfere with the business manage ment of any corporation.'' Naturally a measure emanating from one enter taining such an opinion, and yet pur- porting to favorably answer a popular vice corporations, cannot be accepted as either such a favorable answer or as constructed in good faith
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-08-05

Alabama has voted to ratify the proposed constitutional amendment au- thorizing Congress to levy a general dncome tax. The Connecticut General Assembly has, through it's committee on Federal Relations, commenced con- sideration of the subject, thus evincing a disposition to accept or reject the proposed amendment at the present session, despite the fact that the ques- ton of a. general income tax was not among the issues placed before the people at last years election.
 As often stated, the Farmer has all ways held a general income tax. prop erly graduated and enforced, to be the most equitable of all burdens possible of being placed upon the people. At the present time, however. we are in clined to doubt the wisdom of the pro- posed authorization Under Republi- can rule. the tendency is strongly to- ward extravagant expenditures, and there is grave danger that Congress, with a means of increasing the reve- nue at easy hand. would promptly proceed to unnecessarily increase ap- propriations until the levying of this tax would become an absolute neces- sity. When a. general income tax is deereed, it should. unless in case of war, displace other taxes aggregating the probable revenue from the new tax.
 If it were possible to couple the pending amendment with such a. pro- viso, we should urge it's prompt rati- fication, but it is hardly safe to place any new and not needed powen,ss tax ation in the control of the non ooSSrni-

WIND STORM BLOWS
 DOWN CIRCUS TENTS

Battle Creek, Mich, Aug. 5.-During a wind storm the menagerie tent of Bailey & Barnum'S circus was blown flown yesterday and two women were seriously injured. A large crowd was thrown into q panic. None of the anil nals escaped.
 Miss Adelaide Hathaway of School craft, Mich., was caught in the fall of the huge tent and sustained internal injuries and fractured hip. Miss Bernie Platt of this city, while rush. ing from the tent, got between a hack and an automobile which collided and was severely injured.

The one medical expert in the Thaw ease, who does rot receive compensa- tion and is therefore presumably dis interested, is Dr. A. L. Baker, superin- tendent of the asylum at Matteawan where Thaw has been confined. He has testified that in his opinion, Thaw was not only insane now, but a dan gerous person to be at large. His opportunities for observation have cer- tainly been superior to those of the other expert alienists. pr. Austin Flint described Thaw as a paranoiac and declared that such patients never recover. pr. William Hirsch called Thaw a degenerate paranoiac."
 It seems hardly possible, in face of such evidence, that the court will give Thaw his liberty.
