The so-called 'little town elections" twill occur on Monday of next week. lThey are exclusively for the choice of l&own officers, and for votes upon the ldiquor license question when properly lpetitioned for. While candidates are manned by the two parties. political Into these elections; many of the
 voters disregard party lines and vote according to personal friendship or ipxejudices, while some ''vote for the Fbset xnen'' The result is that the elec- 1! tion returns possess little or no value las indications of the political trend ] Of public sentiment.
 In many towns, votes will be taken upon the liquor license question. Those 1 in Western Connecticut which will de- l ternire between license and no-liA , cense. are:
 Fatrfleld County-Brookfie1d Dan- bury. Darien, Greenwich, Huntington, Now Canaan, New Fairfield, Newtown. Ridgefeld. Stratford, TrumbuH. i Iitchfeld County-Litchheld, Win jchester, New Milfords Barkhamsted, iCanaan, Colebrook, Cornwall, Harwin- 1 ton. New Hartford, North Canaan, Plymouth, Thomaston. Woodbury.
 The towns are each to elect a. town clerk, treasurer, selectmen. collector of taxes, assessors, auditors, tree war den, constables, grand jurors. board of relief, registrars of voters and school visitors. In the election of as-, sesssors, the former minority provis- i ion of the law does not apply this 1 year: the assessors are to be elected l for varying terms so as to provide for a continuous board with hold-over members. All towns not containing
 a city, borough or incorporated dis trict within their limits must also elect a school committee, as school districts were wiped out in all other towns.
 Several cities also hold elections on
 Monday next, viz, New Haven, New EI<ondon, Norwalk, South Norwalk and Waterbury; two of them, New Haven
 and Waterbury, will use voting ma chimes. In these elections, politics will play a very considerable part, but llocal questions will exercise some in fuence.
 The pink paster makes its last ap-
 pearancs on Monday next. It can- mot, under the new law, be used af- ter July 1, 1910. Future elections will |come under this new law which pro-
 yides a modification of the so-called
 Australian ballot. 1t does not, how ever. retire the voting machines, now in use in Bridgeport, Hartford, Wa. terbury and New Haven-in the latter
 kor the first time. 4

odIcers of the Connecticut Automo- | bfle association are talking of ques- ltiouing in the courts the constitution lality, of the new automobile law. They tcalI it class legislation and a measure lof double taxation. It ievies a State ! tax of 50 cents per horsepower on au- fos up to 25-horsepower, and 60 cents Ion machines of 25-horsepower and up- wards. In addition. the towns assess 1 the machines at full valuation and tax l them thereon: in further addition, each driver must have a license, costing g 1 q year. It is estimated that the az gregate tax upon the machines is Iabout 6 per cent. of their cost. The association does not contemplate an attack upon any of the other features of the new law.
 Heretofore owners of automobiles upon them, because they believed that the tax burden meant 'tgood roads" and they were willing to pay more than their share of the cost as determined by the proportion between their num- Der and the number of the other ben eficiaries of good roads. Had "good roads, appeared as expected, there would perhaps be no objection now to the increase in taxation, but they have not. Some new roads are in pro-
 cess of completion, and others are pro- 1ected, but the season is now too far advanced for the construction of much
 more mileage this year. Nor are the State roads constructed in former years maintained as they should be; some are rapidly going to wreck, and all need attention.
 It would not be at all surprising if an attempt to upset the tax feature of the new law, should be successful. The points of class legislation and double taxation seem to be well taken.
