A Blow at Tax Exemption.

The movement for the city of Nor
witch to adopt a policy of tax exenlp-
ton for new industries was properly
snuffes out at meeting of the COM
mon council Monday night
The city attorney reporting on a
petition to have new manufacturing
concerns kept out of the tax list for a
period of years, declared that such ac-
ton would be illegal, void and of no
effect He went on to explain that
adoption of an exemption policy would
tend to deceive persons erecting plants
and relying on the good faith of the
community as embodied in the vote
of exemption, while the action could
be upset and nullified by any tax
payer who chose to dissent The re-
port was accepted and approved. and
the scheme TO put on the tail of new
Industrial ventures the salt of no tax
alton is thus transferred to the obitu-
airy column.
1t is we'll to have the people clearly
understand that no Connecticut town
or city has any constitutional or legal
right to grand tax exemption to a new
industry. Such a policy of favoritism
infiicts injustice on the taxpaying en-
ton and is contrary to public policy
however great on occasion the temp
tation may be to let a new concern go
tax free. Amy assistance that a COM
munity wishes to render to a new
manufacturing project must be done
through private agencies and not
through omission from the grand list.
The Norwich council has grasped the
fundamental principles of the situa
ton and has acted wisely in squelch-
ing nisf1t proposal.-Hartford Times.

over by a trolley car in Danbury the
18th of May Coroner Wilson says the
fender of the trolley car should be so
adjusted that it can be lowered in

The coroner SAYS: I find that the
said Avis DeMond died from shock
produced by injuries to the abdomen
and pelvis caused by being run over
by a trolley car.
That Frank Foster, the motorman
running said trolley car, was pro-
ceding at a moderate and careful rate
of speed and did everything in his
power to avert the accident.
That the fender on the aforesaid
car was so fastened as to prevent its
being lowered beyond its normal po-
sition which was about three or four
inches from the ground.
That the use of this fender was not
criminal negligence on the part of
said railway company. yet while fen
ders are not absolutely infallible, it
would seem that they would ordinar-
lily be more effective if so adjusted as
to permit their being tripped or low

emergency, and 1 would so recon-
mend.
1 am satisfied that said death was

constitutes a negro in the United

asked to settle in the near future.
One-sixteenth negro blood in an indiv-

District of Columbia, according to a
decision by Justice Danial T. Wright
of the district supreme court in the
case of Isabel I. Walt, an eight year
old child, who recently was barred
from a white public school because
the principal had information that she
was of negro parentage.
The father of the girl tempted to
force the board of education to rein
state the child, but failed Justice
Wright deciding she was a negro. The
case was appealed to the district court
of appeals. If the appellate court af-
firms Justice Wright's decision an eff
fort will be made Immediately to have
the United States supreme court pass
on the question.

Kansas City, Sept. S.-The will of
Mrs. Fannie E. Vrooman, who died Au-
gust of a bullet wound, self-inflicted.
at her home, 504 Woodland avenue, has
been filed in the probate court.
In the will, which schedules an estate
of $4,000, Mrs. Vrooman cuts off her
husband with a bequest of SIS, and stip-
ulates that any beneficiary contesting
the will shall receive nothing The
husband is Carl Vrooman, a wealthy
broker and builder with offices in the
Commerce building.
The will bequeaths the remainder of
the estate, after minor gifts have been
paid, to Mrs. Vrooman's mother, Mrs
Josephine Grasseln of Eureka, Kan
But Howard Vrooman, Carl Vrooman's

SENDS ANOTHER AT CUMMINs.
President Ripley of Santa Fe Answers
Last Letter.

Chicago. Sept. S.-President E. P.
Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka q
Santa Fe railroad has sent to Senator
Albert B. Cummins of Iowa reply to
the senator's letter of August IL to Mr..
Ripley concerning the capitalization
and valuation of railroads for rate
making purposes. The letter defends
at length the railroads against the
charges made by Senator Cummins IN
his Chautauqua speeches IN IL Mr.
Ripley makes the following main
points:
having misrepresented the views OF
Roosevelt and the interstate commerce
commission, and says the Cummlns
amendment for regulation of traf1c
agreements and rates by the commits
sion was not in accordance with the
recommendations of Roosevelt, the
commission and the Republican plat
form.
2. Saws that through the successful
opposition of Cummins and his friends
to the legalization of traffic assocla-
lions the government has aoohsneo
competition and yet makes criminal
conspiracy for the railways to fall- TO
keen I'D a show of competing.
3. Saws the Cummins argument Tor
allowing railroads to earn DIVIDENDS
only on "independent investment" was
repudiated twelve years ago by the su-
preme court of the United States.
4. Saws the Cummins letter of Au-
gust II confirms the impression that
the senator was merely guessing" in
the statement that the total 1ndepend-
ent investment in the railways old not
exceed $4,000, 100000.
5. SAYS Cummins' statement that
1.-The amount of independent capital
paid to issuing companies for stocks is
a negligible quantity and is far exceed
ed by the amount of bonds that have
been issued without consideration" is
an entire misrepresentation. -.
6. Characterizes as "ahsurdly low
the Cummins estimate of $S4,00O,0Oo
a. mile for independent investment"
Z. Says stockholders have a right to
earnings on dividends which have been
invested in this properly
& Accuses Cummins of being prac-
tically a single taxer in contending that
the increase in value of railroad prop
erty due to "unearned Increment
should not be allowed to earn divi-
dends. and says this doctrine has no
justification in law.

basis by restoring the rates which were
