 1 Slump in Hatting
 1 Due. it is thought, in a great mea-
 sure to the strike of @ year ago, there
 has been a decided slump in the bus
 mess of the hat manufacturers in New I Milford within the past few weeks. The | slump is laid to the securing by west
 ern hat manufacturers of a large DOT tion of the eastern business during the 1 last strike and the inability of the To-
 cal concerns to get back the business.
 The week ending January 29 is under stood to have broken all records for the past ten years for the small amount of new business secured

According to an article by Irving Fisher in the Review of Reviews, 'the vaunted stability of gold" has van ished. The country needs "a stable monetary standard. and 'gold is not such a standard MT. Fisher says: ..The first step toward solving any public problem is to secure public rec ognition of it's existence. As soon as we realize that the gold platform on which we all stand is not solid, but sinking, we shall begin to contriVe methods of securing stability" ! And he also says:
 We must give up our blind faith in the stability of gold While eXperl- ence has given us all a keen sense of the dangers of paper imitation, this very fact has led to overconfidence in gold. We stoutly cling to the delu- sion that nothing else is "as solid as gold", while under our very eyes the cyanide method of extracting gold from low-grade ores as well as the new discoveries of gold and their con- tinued exploitation produce a deprecla- tion we are unwilling to recognize.

Under the resolution to be passed by the House, the Ways and Means com mittee is ''to make a thorough and complete investigation into the cost of living and '.the cost of the neces- saries of life including clothing, fuel, furniture, meats breadstuffs and pro- visions generally, and incidentally to ascertain whether increased prices are due to any laws-that is, whether the tariff is responsible for the increases CT any part of them.
 This resolution comes from Chair man Payne of the Ways and Means committee which constructed the tar tiff now in force. In effect, it is an admission that the committee did not, in constructing that measure make such an investigation of the effect of duties upon the prices of necessaries of life; as a matter of fact, the com Inittee based it's tariff duties upon the statements of producers, and gave slight, if any, attention to their effect upon consumers. It now proposes to review it's own work-that is, profess .:dIy proposes such review. The con tlition of being the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, or of having been "born with a caul', or of being an adept in clairvoyancy. is not need ed for the making of safe prediction viz, that the Ways and Means com rlittee will s'whitewash" the tariff and also the entire trust system which according to the late H. O. Have meyer, is the legitimate offspring o1 the tariff.

Prices are higher than in time of war, says Agnes c. Lant in the Re view of Reviews:
 Ten years ago when the price of staples began to move up a cent and cents a pound it was felt. but not as burdensome. There was no out cry; but now that the increase in the simplest articles for mere subsistence is marked not by cents and fractions of a cent but by p and 50 and 100 and, in the case of lard, actually 200 per cent, this business of the increased cost of living falls on the average wage-earner, especially the office wage-earner who has no labor union to send his market value up,-falls with the heavy hand of a tax cOllec- tor in time of war, or tribute levied by a conqueror. As a matter of fact with the exception of two or three staples like cotton and wheat. prices are higher today in America than they have ever been in time of war. Never has the country been so prosperous Never has there been vaster abund- ance of all the staples supplying hu- man subsistence: yet never in the history of America have all the staples tortionate prices. The householder the man whose income has not in creased as prices for the privilege o1 being alive increased, begins to fee aSi if an invisible hand were acquir- ing the trick of constantly picking his pocket.

last Friday evening. The entertain ment netted the lodge about $21. Miss Mary Perry, daughter of Nor ris Perry, was taken to the Westport sanitarium last week, suffering from mental troubles. One manifestation of her ailment has been to sit up all night and occupy her waking mo- ments with reading the Bible. The Rowland brothers have bought a tract of timber at Great Hill, west of the Ridge, from Henry S. Osborn end will soon move their saw mill there from the Anthony Kolosky tract.
 Mrs. Woolsey Randall, who under went an operation at a New York hospital last week, is getting along faVorably.
 Louis Klein, of Greenbaum & Klein, was one of the ushers at the wedding in. New York yesterday of Attorney Cohn of Bridgeport.
 Mrs. Mary Jane Scribner of San ford town is seriously i'll in Danbury. An agent was before the selectmen Saturday to urge upon them the pur- chase of another road machine but they thought the town should be able to worry along with the two it al- ready owns.
 The towns grand list foots up S963,O00, which amount is of course subject to redu ctions by the board of relief who hold their first session on Monday next. The increase over last years list before it was revised is bout s85, ,OO0, the largest ever known in single year. Among the new entries contributing to the increase are the Luttgen, Herbert Barnes, $. O. Shaw and J. H. Ameli residences, the new building of the Gilbert & Bennett Co. and a dozen or so new houses in the Georgetown section. As large as is the increase, however, it comes short of meeting the addition made to last years list by the State equalization board, this addition be- | ing an even S1OO,O00. Neither does the increase include the assessment valuation of the churches and bury | ing grounds which are this year re- ouired by the law for the first time 1 to be listed although they are not l +aypd

REDDING'S TAX
 SHORTAGE MAY
 BE CLEANED UP
Examination of Tax Books from 1902 to 1908 Discloses Reason for Part of the Dis crepancy.
Tax Equalization Program Strikes Bedding, Too, and Gives It Largest Grand List In It's History, With Largest Annual Increase.

Bedding, Feb. 3.-Some progress was made by the selectmen at their meeting last Saturday towards clear ing up the situation with reference to back taxes although another session or two will probably be required to get the entire facts. The existing situation is about this: The board have now in their possession all the rate books from 1902 to that of 1908. The books from 1902 to '06 inclusive, show a total due of $2,600. Of this about One-third is set down as un- collectable, that portion consisting of poll and military taxes. On the 1907 books there is due about $700 more, a total of $3,300 instead of $14,000 as one of the board originally estimated. The special point of interest relates to collections which have been made in connection with the sales of prop erty. As stated last week the sum is about $400 and appears on the '04 and '05 books as still being due. A partial and what may prove to be a complete explanation of this diScrep- ancy has been found. The 1902 and '03 books have been for some time in the possession of Attorney s. c. Shaw acting as the towns collection agent. He not only made collection of
 
 but received, in connection with real estate transfers, sums on the 1904 and 'G5 books while these books remained in the keeping of ex-Collector Cor ham. There is no question as to MT. Shaw having turned over all the pay ment5 which he received. In doing so, however, he neglected to specify the books to which the several amounts pertained and also failed to notify MT. Gorham in order that the atter might enter the credits on the two books held by him. Whether this explanation accounts for all the money which represented an appar- ent shortage is yet to be determined The present indications are that if does not but the full disclosure o1 1 facts may prove the contrary. A special meeting of the selectmen for I the further pursuit of the inquiry l hearing on this question will be held Eext Monday.

The Bridgeport Gas Light Go. stands alone among the public service cor porations in having voluntarily ln- creased it's tax assessment. and is fair ly entitled to cue credit therefor. It may have preferred to do so rather than risk a larger increase by the as- sessors. but perhaps we should not seek for any selfish motive-the recip- tent, we are told. should never look a gift horse in the mouth.' The as- sessors evidently either considered the voluntary increase sufficient, ~or thought 1t should stand untouched as a bright and shining light for the guidance of others and perhaps also as a means of initiating 8 healthy emulation among the corporations in the matter of listing property at "the fair market value required by the law.
