Winsted, Sept 15.-Coroner Richard
7. Higgins today made his finding in
the automobile accident on Sept just
outside of Torrington, i'll which Hen
ry Linstead. a young dentist of Tor
rington, was killed. The machine was
owned and driven by Victor Z. Toillon
and while the coroner does not hold
anyone crfminally responsible for the
accident. and says the evidence sub
m1tted was to the effect that the car
was not going at a rapid rate, yet the
silent evidence of the condition at the
place where the tragedy occurred
leads to the belief that the car was
running at a greater speed than ad-
mitted. He says that considering this
in connection with the fact that Toillon
has a reputation for fast driving '.he
recommends that ToilIon's license to
operate car be revoked

Three Great Questions.

After discussing the platform, DIR.
Wilson said:
There are three great questions be-
fore the ople-reorganization and
economy. equalization of taxation, ana
the control of corporations.
other important questions are the
proper liability of employers, the ques-
ton of corrupt practices i'll elections,
ana the question of conservation.
Our system of government should
not be necessarily complicated and
elaborate and there should not be too
many separate commissions and
boards"
Better Taxation Methods.
Referring to taxation, DR.. Wilson
said:
our system of taxation is ill-digest-
ed piecemeal and haphazard. This
system should not be changed too rad
ically, but the whole system should be
carefully reconsidered and altered in
such a manner as to give economic
conditions"
On Control of Corporations.
Discussing the question of corpora
tions, the speaker said:
Corporal tons should not be favored
in the matter of taxation. The power
to regulate taxation and fix rates
should be vested in a public utility
commission. The regulation of cor
porations is more the duty of the state
than of the federal government.
In concluding his speech DR.. Wilson
said:
''The playing of politics is to be
deprecated. Measures having for their
object the betterment of our conditions
should be conceived in the largest
spirit and urged by statesmen and not
demagogues"
