No Question of Rantals.

Ine comparative figures shown by
Governor Woodruff furnish the basis
for an inquiry and the opening of the
oyster grounds to all bidders might
show whether they are worth more per
acre rental or not.
There is no reason why an inquiry
of this kind should be prolonged or
expensive; the opening up of the
grounds by the state when the rentals
are to be renewed to all who desire
to bid certainly would show whether
Connecticut oyster beds are as desira-
worth as much money.-Norwich Bull
letin.
Unfortunately there is no question
in this state. The state has sold it's
oyster grounds absolutely to the pres
ent holders, and it set the price which
they should pay They own the grounds
their deeds are recorded, and the state
has to do only with the question Of
taxation. There are no good oyster
grounds for sale in Connecticut by the
state. What is left is of doubtful
character, to be tried if one has the
time and money to invest, with the
prospect of failure. Tens of thousands
of acres have been tried thus and
found worth little or nothing. and the
holders have no desire to spend more
money on them. The best oyster
grounds in the state are the natural
beds reserved for the use of the people
of Connecticut, under the laws of the
state, and they are not in private
hands.-Bridgepor Standard.

SEEKING TO TAX THE PEOPLE.

There is in Pennsylvania a spirit
prevalent which would put tax upon
all the coal mined there, and con-
sidering the fact that most of the
anthracite coal burned in the east
comes from that state, and the pres
emit high prices, it is a menacing sign
which is not at all agreeable, to east
ern people.
The rational press is opposed to
this new means of increasing the
states revenue, for it realizes that
it would be an added burden to the
people of Pennsylvania as well as to
the citizens of other states.
The state would get its revenue and
the companies would not be a penny
the poorer because they know very
well how to recoup themselves for adj
ditional exactions of that kind. The
consumer would have to pay the tax.
The great bulk of anthracite coal is
sold and used outside of Pennsylvania,
so with respect to the part of, the
states revenue received from such a
source, it would be largely borne by
the people of other states in addition
to their own regular tax burdens. The
trusteeship of the anthracite beds,
which nature has given 10 Pennsyl-
vania, makes this unique situation
possible should that state decide to
abuse the advantage with which she
has been fortuitously invested.

All the jury needed, he says, for their

Jenkins Hams responsibility, though
the spirit Of his comment indicates
more than that, namely, a positive be-
lief in his innocence. The statement is
good, had not Hams himself upset 1t
by his confessions after acquittal. The
public formed the opinion that Hams
was guilty and now that he is free he
says in effect that he was guilty and
that his escape puts the unwritten law
above the written law. The jury did
not think Of this or see the facts as
the public did, and Hams himself has

The Nsw Committees.

In the house Speaker Banks has fur
nished some surprises, but seems to
have done wei, as a whole. The ap-
pointment Of Representative Burnes of
Greenwich to the judiciary committee
Craftsmanship will not inspire much
confidence. AS chairman of the rail-
road committee in the last general as
sembly Representative Burnes was re-
peatedly out Of touch with the desires
Of the people. He may have changed
since then. 1t is to be hoped So for
the interests of the state at large. The
balance Of the committee is fairly
strong and ought to do good work.

portunity to show his mettle.-Bridge-

It Ia evident enough that the farm
IRIS are losing their antipathy to motor
cars instead of increasing their preju-
dices against them. The fact that the
Connecticut legislature and other leg
islatures, the majority OF whose meme
bers are farmers, pass considerate
laws, so considerate, in fact, that the
city people complain Of them most is
the best evidence Of this.
II is noted in other states that the
spirit of opposition to automobiles
among the farmers is dying out and
down in New Jersey one farmer ad-
vocated thirty miles an hour on the
road as not too fast, provided drivers
would use proper precaution: and it
IS a fact that many progressive farm
ers in these days own machines and
enjoy riding in them at a speed that
would make the old horse wheezy
after the first quarter of a mile"
At all the. recent meetings to con-
slider the subject Of automobiling, the
main question discussed by the mem
bers OF state boards has been the dam
age to the roads from fast driving and
who was TO pay for the repairs. This
is a fair matter for consideration
Certainly the expense ought not to
rest entirely on the non-owners Of
machines in the open country where
the fastest driving results in the
greatest injury to the highways. Just
how to adjust this matter is ques-
ton that others than the farmers are
struggling with at the present time,
and which the Connecticut and other
legislatures will be obliged to con-
slider this winter
A fair deal all around is all that is
demanded in this field which is sadly
IN need Of readjustment.

she'd set him to SEWN cyarpet rags.
An all the time he'd never give her
a cross word. All she had to do was
to crook her finger an he'd drop any
thin he was doin' an come on the

he'd holler back, All right, honey

HUNTING INDUSTRIES.

The obtainment Of new Industries is
a worthy municipal ambition at any
time, and as a well-practiced scheme
by some cities for a quarter of a cen
fury 1t has proven to the satisfaction
Of all that the industry which seeks
place because Of its superior business
facilities Is the one worth having, not
the industry which is looking for a
sale Of stock or long exemption from
taxation or other special privileges.
Speaking Of the recent enterprise
Of Springfield, Mass, in offering a
handsome prize for the best advertis-
ing scheme, the New Bedford Mercury
has this to offer:
From casual observation we would
say It would be safe to offer $500 for
any advertising man that can show
where buttons, posters and biIlboards
ever brought a new industry to a CITY.
worth having. 1t seems to be the ex-
perience that when a city advertfses
for new industries it brings in a horde
OF promoters who are seeking capital
for their ventures. Industries really
worth having are not attracted by
billboard exploitation"
Norwich can appreciate these senti-
nents. 1t knows from its own expert
ence that the speculative business en-
terprises which are so prompt to re-
spond to organized effort are often
unable to stand alone and are feecers
of the people.
An efficiently conducted city with
low taxes. good fire protection and
assuring labor conditions, is the mag
net which is today drawing industries
which are worth having, and they will
continue to draw them.
Industries which appeal for special
assistance or privilege are the ones
every wise municipality should
promptly reject. It usually has enough
Of It's own.

The Other Time FIains Did n.

Meantime it cannot but be recalled
that this Is not the first murder trial
involving Thornton Hams, who is now
to put the cause of private vengeance
into current American literature. He
and his friend, Edward Hannegan,
back in 1891, at Hampton, Va, went
out in a rowboat together, and waen
the boat returned flanagan was ly-
ing dead in the bottom of it, having
been shot while he rowed by Hams.
1t was said there had been a quarrel
between the two over a woman, bul
the unwritten law was not then in
volIed by Hams. He testified at the
trial that the two had quarreled over
whether they should return to shore
to avoid an approaching squall. Hams
insisting on staying out; that Han
negan raised an oar to strike him
down and that he then shot him dead
in self defense. Admiral Robley D.
Evans, then a commander in the navv,
had a home on the shore against the
Norwich bulletin., 1909-01-20

scene of the shooting, and he witness
testified that he did not see Hannegan
raise an car. but that he did see the
victim rowing steadily up to the time
Of the shooting. After Hannegan had
fallen Hams took the oars and rowed
about for half an hour with the body
of his victim before returning to the
shore. The trial of Hams was hotly
contested, and while the jury finally
rendered verdict of acquittal the
verdict Of the community was differ
emit and so strongly manifested in
public meetings and printed circulars
that Hams moved away.-Springfeld
