Hesitation in cotton goods and yarns
was noted in the primary markets, due
in part to the imminence of the govern
ment crop report made public Thurs
day and difficulty is still experienced
in securing prices for manufactured
products commensurate with the In
creased cost of raw materials. Higher
wages are being sought in New Eng
land mills and there has been a tenn
porary curtailment of production in
consequence of annual repairs. South
ern yarn mills are curtailing until yarn
productA become more profitable.
Wholesale dry goods houses have had
very substantial volume of business
of late. Silk mills making skein-dyed
goods still need business in volume,
but piece dyed mills have good orders
ahead. Wooden and worsted mills show
improved conditions Retailers are still
opening conservatively but steadily,
and mills are not accommodating goods.
Former dullness noted in the footwear
market continues undated, buyers
holding off. Statesmen are starting on

Shoe shipments from Boston show
a slight gain over forwardings of a

fairly busy, though some have COM
pleted the fall run. Between seasons
period is manifest in weekly shut
downs and curtailing in cutting depart
mentS. Tanners are operating in the
Chicago packer hide market for cur
rent wants and some good-sized sales
are made. Prices have advanced ON
most descriptions. Country hides re-
main quiet. but some light cows have
been worked off at one-quarter to one
half cent below the prices asked by
dealers for best offerings. The leather
market continues in a waiting posi-
ton.

INCREASES IN TAXATION

As the Goth Congress did rot enforce economy in expenditures. the prospect is that the Treasury deficit will con tinue if not increase. For this reason, the House committee on Ways and Means is now considering methods of increasing the governments revenue, among them inheritance. income and internal revenue taxes.
 Several States are also looking for new methods of taxation in order to increases revenues. Connecticut may reimpose the old and unpopular State tax. In New York. a pending proposi- tion is an inheritance tax ranging from 25 per cent. on estates of s20. 000. 900, to per cent. on those of B. GOO, 900, with estates which inventory from s10. 900 to s25, 900 taxed at l per cent. To estop ante-death division of estate as a means of avoiding the inheritance tax, the proposition provides that if one quarter of an estate is given away dur ing the five years previous to death. the remainder shah pay a tax of 25 per cent. It may be doubted whether the latter provision would prove effec- covered in many ways. Should it so prove, this proposition would offer in effect. a premium upon ante-death divisions of estate and probate courts might become unneeded institutions.
 Incidentally. we may note that Re publican rule. with it's customary dis regard of economy. has brought about this necessity of increased. and in some propositions specially obnoxious. taxa ton in National. State and municipal affairs.

Indians were seen to skulk across the green and hide 6eh1nd the trees on many occa- sions, to the great alarm of the neigh bors. It was in Deacon Bulkley's house on the green. one of the few left standing, that public worship was con- ducted by Rev. Andrew Eliot the Sun day following the destruction of the town by the British"
 One of the old landmarks of the green, transformed into the town post was the whipping post. Dr. Child says that very early in the history of the settlement a whipping post and the stocks were placed on the green di- rectly across the street from the meet ing house. The records note how one and otfer offender was sentenced to be whipped 20 or 30 or 40 lashes, to be confined in the stocks three hours five hours. or 9. day.

ISSUE MADE COUNTRYWIDE

US District Attorney Healing of indiana has resigned. and an attempt is being made to indicate that his req son, iAstAad of the one given by him, 4 an apprehension of removal by PraGsaaot Taft on account of his (Keal- inRe} support of Fairbanks for the Kepublican Presidential nomination. It may be that President Taft contem- pleees war Of extermination upon all of0pe.bolding opponents of his candi- dacy for the nomination last year and that the removal of Customs Collector Fo~1sr of New York on a charge of havin1 used Judge Taft's injunction rec0fd Co awaken Labor antagonism to his candidacy was the first move there in. But we are much more concerned in the reason given by Mir. Healing. Referring to the libel indictments against Indiana editors in connection with the Panama Canal matter. Dis trict Attorney Healing says:
 I am not in accord with the govern naent in it's attempt to put a strained construction on the law. to drag the dsfendaats from their homes to, the seat Of fhe governnlent to be tried and puniahed, while there is a good and sufnnfont law in this Jurisdiction in the state court believe the principle in volved Is dangerous. striking at the worry foundation of our form of govern mont.
 Tho Farmer has heretofore referred to tl6e danger to the guaranteed free dom of the press which would result from success in what Mir Healing rightly calls "a strained construction of the law" A newspaper could only criticize acts of the Federal Govern ment at the possible cost of defending it's editors upon charges of criminal libel in Washington. This is not a matter in which political considera- tions have any -rightful place. It con cerne every newspaper in the country The action of the late Roosevelt Ad- rninistration has carried the case far beyond the merits otherwise of the charges against certain New York and Indiana editors. Commenting upon the matter. the Hartford Courant:
 If newspaper owners are to be prose cuted for criminal libel. it should be in the ueual way and in the city or town where the newspaper is published. If we are to have a revival of the sedi- ton law of a hundred years ago. let it actment of ConKrsSs-in the light of day-aad not by tortuous legal casuis- try and indirection. The doctrine that a newspaper owner may be tried wherever a copy of his paper is sold. or that the sale of copy of his paper on a government reservation CWest Point, for instance. Governors ground for prosecuting him in the federal courts instead of the state courts. does not commend itself to the American mind.

Hartford has for some time been wrestling with the problem of revenue increase without augmentation of the tax rate. and Mayor Hooker recently consulted Tax Commissioner Corbin upon the matter. It is now announced that the board of Finance and the As sessors. with the Mayor. have agreed upon the plan of increasing the grand list about S5.0O0.O00 annually, which will raise the assessment to full value in about four years and will provide an increase of about s1O0.0OO a year in revenue. As the law requires full value assessments. this Hartford plan may be called a graduated compliance with the law. Should a. State tax be imposed by the General Assembly cities and towns which now have full value assesSments-for instance, Bridgeport-will pay more than their proportionate share as compared with Hartford, for at least three years.
