The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-03-08

While the attitude of the natural Erowthers'' of this city is favorable to a bill taxing oyster grounds at a great CT value. they are not conducting the vigorous agitation in favor of the passage of a tax bill that is waged in Guilford and near by shore towns. with the Shore Line Times as its medium of expression.
 The application of Rowe & Company of New Haven. who are perhaps the largest growers in the state. for 2.300 acres off Guilford. is made the occasion In the Times. for an article warmly advocating the plan of Governor Rol- lin s. Woodruff for higher valuation. Says the Times:
 Taking the foregoing application as an example, do our representa- tives along the Shore Line realize what this alone would mean to the state should an honest tax be placed upon 1t and payable into the state treasury, based on a like statement with that of the state of Rhode Island which Governor Woodruff quoted? Let us look 1t over.
 Rhode Island does not grant per petua1. forever, eternity franchises such as this applicant asks for. Rhode Island leases its oyster grounds for a term of ten years at $5 to $10 per acre. For an example we will split the diff ference and call it S7.6o per acre, and the acreage asked TOT Dy the dppllcanC in question on a ten years lease would mean to the state of Connecticut not 8, ,230 but S. 9.225.
 Hast year the oyster growers of this state on the above paid into Island, where the acreage Is only about one-Quarter that of Connecticut, the income to the state last year was ap- proximate1y $101 .000.
 ''It is stated that it will doubtless be necessary to levy a state tax of one eighth mill. which will raise $450, ,000.
 Have our country legislators. who have the destinies of bills in their own control. stopped to realize that an oyster tax based on the Rhode Island plan would be equivalent. or at an average of $7.50 an acres on 65,O00

EXPECT STEEL WAGE CUT Lackawanna's Action Said to Leave no Alternative te Independents.

Toledo, Ohio. March 8.-Wage reduc- tions are predicted among the iron and steel workmen in the Ohio district within a week.
 Speaking of the matter yesterday President James A. Campbell of the Youngstown Steel and Tube Company, a large independent works, said:
 Here in this section we cannot re- duce the wages of the puddlers. Our agreement with them does not termin ate until July 1. However. if we can- not sell our product on the new basis established by Eastern producers we will be compelled to shut down our mills, that's all there is to it.
 'The act of the Lackawanna Com pany in cutting wages has upset every thing.
 If we find that we cannot compete with other manufacture on the pres ent basis of wages we shall be compell- ed to follow their lead close down our plant. We cannot afford to pay the wages we are now paying if the other independents make reductions.

Jackson I'm Triumph,

After the battle of New Orleans, says Thomas E. Watson in his magazine, when the victor had been crowned with laurel in the cathedral and acclaimed like a demigod through the streets, it was of his mother that he spoke to the officers whom he was about to disband their glorious work being done. "Gentlemen. if only she could have lived to see this dayw As you follow the narrative of Andrew Jackson's ca reer. you will hear him say many things that you will not approve, will see him do many things which you cannot applaud. but when you re- call that at the very top notch of his success and his pride his heart stayed

 Isn't it worth thinking about?
 When the oyster men tell you that oyster ground is not worth anything in Connecticut. tell them that if such is the truth that some one is an inn becile in one instance at least, for we can tell you now on authority that is unimpea enable that there is one plot of ground in this state that is assessed for $590 only. upon which there rests a mortgage of 5000.
 "Is this particular piece of oyster ground the one cited as being mo good
 "A gentleman who is one of the rich est oyster growers in the whole state, who has the reputation of knowing how to take care of his money as few men know how. is doing lobby work at Hartford that would do credit to the abilities of the we'll known railroad king of the lobby, who has been SO successful.
 This oysterman owns within the sea boundary lines of Connecticut between II 900 and 12,000 acres of ground, and last year he paid into the state treas ury S699 or at the rate of six and one tenth cents per acre.
 Gan you blame him for lobbying against any measure that will increase that assessment?
 From a selfish and worldly stand point we don't and neither do you; we'd do the same thing. doubtless. if we were in his shoes. for it's human nature of a money-mad world.
 "But it's not justice to the people as a whole, and should be curtailed inn mediately by the present assembly which we sincerely trust that it will be by enacting a law that shall require a fair and equable remuneration to the state for such franchises or leases as it may grant"

Sweetheart of seRobin Adair.~

Robin Adair' was written by Lady Caroline Keppel, the daughter of the Earl of Albemarle. Robin was a real character, a young Irish doctor who had been forced by a scandalous ad- venture to leave Ireland and seek his fortune in England. Chance threw a rich patient in his way, lady of qual- ity, and at her house he met Lady Caroline, and the result was a case of love at first sight on both sides. Her parents objected and sent her away, and during her absence she produced the song
