CORBIN REPORTS ON TAXATION OF
 PUBLIC SERVICES New Haven Road Pays $1,- 248, ,324 and All Services
 $1,913,236
 But Substantially All Prop critics Are Undervalued and Taxed at Rate of One Per Cent. Only.

Advance sheets of the report of Tax Commissioner William H. Corbin throws an interesting side light upon the taxation of public service corpora tions in the state.
 The merest scrutiny serves to show that in almost every instance that these corporations are taxed on a sum less than that upon which they claim the right to take profits from the public. That is the value of the property, as sworn to by themselves, is usually much greater than the value upon which the tax is levied.
 h case in point is the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company,which pays, this year, in taxes to the state, S2OS.431.S1. but which makes oath to a valuation of more than s30.000,000.
 The tax is at the rate of one per cent. upon only $22,959,1S2.
 The towns lose, coming and going.
 So much of the val of this ror,- pany as is located in Bridgeport would be reached here at full value. and then taxed at the prevailing local rate of TIA.
 The state in taxing such property both undervalueS it and levies 8 much smaller rate than the towns would levy.
 The Connecticut company, which operates the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company, and all other lines controlled by New Haven road, is valued for purposes of taxation at s2O,212,535 and pays in taxes $2o2,- 125.
 A summary of the taxes paid by public service corporations >is as fol- lows:

THE WORK OF TWO WOMEN.

Work which has just been done in
New York, largely through the efforts
of two college women, one of Radcliffe
and one of Smith, proves very con-
clusively that the So called white slave
traffic has not been exaggerated bv
sociological writer's and humane
societies-nor even by the "muck-rak-
ing magazines.
The two women referred to lent
their aid in securing evidence against
those who have been supposed of
trafficking in human souls and their
efforts were thoroughly successful.
They found that the purchases they
wished to make, in the way of obtain
ing evidence, were not to be made so
easily as formerly-this On the au-
thority of those engaged in the traffic
because of the increased vigilance
Of the police; and this is the only
hopeful note in the entire disclosure.
But they finally succeeded in obtain
ing their evidence, and in their re-
ports they affirm that they could have
gotten white slaves" much more east
ly, but for the fact that they insisted
upon having very youthful ones deliv-
cred to them. Their intention being,
obviously, to make the case against
the traffickers as damning as possible.
Now that conclusive evidence, as it
appear to be, has been placed in the
hands of New York grand jury, it
may be expected that the offenders
will be made examples of in such fash
ion that they or their kind will here
after have a wholesome fear of the
law-if they may be said to have any
thing wholesome.
And it may also be expected that
more energetic measures in the same
field will be made in other cities
none OF which, it is claimed, are ex-
empt from the traffic in question.
