TRADE SCHOOL WILL
 TEACH ANYTHING FOR
 WHICH DEMAND EXISTS

If anyone has the idea that the State Trade School in this city is for the teaching of specified curriculem they are mistaken. Principal Alfred B. Fletcher, the organizer of the man ual training system and trade schools at Rochester, N. r., who has taken charge of the Bridgeport school, was asked this morning. What are you going to teach %
 demand and it will be the policy of the school to teach any trade which a sufficient number asks for. A class of about 25 would be the most desirable and would warrant the school in getting the necessary equip ment and teachers"
 Principal Fletcher made it plain that the school is not going to pre- scribe trades for students but intends to teach what the student wants. The principal is impressed by the large number of girls who have ap- piled for enrolment in the school. The majority of them want to take up dressmaking and that trade will be the first one established in the school and millinery school will fol- low right along after it. About two- thirds of the girls work in the day time and desire to attend the night sessions. The principal says that the night sessions are to be the most inn portant for the first year, but he ex- poets that the day pupils will increase in the second and third years.
 If there are any young women who have studied dressmaKIng and desire special instruction we will provide it for them if they present themselves as body. We desire to fit any need that young people may have for married women will be started if they ask for it
 Because of the heavy enrolment of young men and boys the principal had a talk with Secretary Charles D. Hine of the State Board of Edu- approved of the idea of putting in more equipment to meet the demand.
 The day classes will start next Monday morning and the evening classes will begin on September 1. The prospects are. that there will every night in order to accommodate the pupils. Fully 100 have enroll ed in the class for the teaching of the trade of machinist and the majority of them are men who are employed in the local factories and who have
 Twenty-Five pupils visited the school last night in the building of the Bridgepore Spring Perch Co.,, in Can non street. They inspected the building and were assigned to their classes.
 The day sessions of the school will be conducted on the same basis as a factory and the nine hour day will prevail. The school will open at 8 o'clock in the morning and the first session will continue until 12 o'clock. The second session will be from 1 o'clock until o'clock in the evening. The hours of the night school have not been decided upon as yet, but it is understood that they will be from 7.20 to 9.30 o'clock

(Staff correspondent.)

Washington, Aug 9.-AI over the land the regular Republican candidates for Congress are preparing to ask for election or reelection on the record of President Taft and the last Congress.
 Aside from the tariff revision, with which the public is already familiar, the predominating features of the plat form on which the sandpatters will make their desperate stand are the postal bank bill and the SO-called rail- road regulation bill.
 The railroad bill as passed was bet CT than existing law, improvements having been forced by Democrats and legislation proposed in congress in years. President Taft sent this bill to Congress with his personal indorse- ment and asked that it be passed with out amendment
 It provided for commerce court which would have destroyed the use- fitness of the intersate commerce com mission, and made appeal to the higher tribunals impossible.
 It took the railroads from under the antitrust law. and would have per mitted them to make what rates they pleased without any effective check.
 It legalized existing mergers between existing lines; it contained joke pro- vision to regulate the issuing of rail- road securities.
 The Democrats and Insurgents forced some improvements. but were prevented by administration influences from putting in provisions which would have been of real value to the people, such as physical valuation of the roads as a basis of rate regulation.
 Such was the railroad bill that would have become law had President Taft had his way.

INCORPORATION TAX CAUSES RECEIPTS
 TO GROW LARGE
Not Fair Indication of Revenue Producing Qualities of New
 Tariff Law

Washington, Aug. 9.-The Treasury Department has given out a statement showing for the first time the actual workings of the Payne-Aldrich law for an entire year. The year ran from Aug. 6, 1909, the day after it's enact ment. to Aug. 6, 1910 and the figures of the Treasury statement show for this period a surplus of ordinary re- ceipts over ordinary disbursements of $20, PA, ,028.99.
 The receipts, of course, include many items besides the customs. The ordi- nary receipts of the Treasury for the year designated include the entirely new item of the corporation tax. which amounts to $27.090, ,9341S. There is also the internal revenue. amounting this to $271 1,120, ,142.1O an increase of $N,907,- 499 over the year preceding. These two aside from the tariff of $52. 900, 900. Miscellaneous receipts this year fell off about $500, 900, still leaving. how ever, an increase in total revenues items make an increase in revenues, aside from the customs of S46.500 .000. The Treasury statement says:
 "The ordinary receipts for the first full year of the new tariff law were greater by almost s15.000. GOO than the ordinary receipts during the fiscal year 1907, when the total was $663. .125. 652 92. And the fiscal year 1907 was the ban ner year in point of receipts. it's total having exceeded that of any other year in the history of the Government by almost $60, ,0OO, 900. Hence for Payne Aldrich law produced in it's first year a revenue greater by $75.00o.00O than the sum collected in any other year of our national life. except the year 1907. It will be observed that whereas there was a deficit of $58. .734, 955 in the ordinary operations of the Government in the fiscal year ended June 30. 1909, there was a surplus in the year ended last Saturday of more than $2O 000. 900. ?
 The increase in customs receipts of BPS, 400, 900 for the first year of the new tariff cannot be taken as a fair indi- cation of the revenue-producing quail ties of the act. From the day it be- came certain that the bill would be passed until all trade agreements with foreign Governments were finally abro- gated there was a tremendous rush on the part of importers to get goods in to the country before the higher rates became effective.
 As these agreements lasted for many months after the new law went into effect, the figures for the first year of the new tariff are increased by the ar tifical stimulus supplied by the desire of importers to lay in a large stock Their imports. of course. paid duty under the old agreements. unaffected by the new law. and came into the country really in an effort to avoid the new law.

A FRANK ADMISSION.

Representative Charles D. Littlefield of Haine, now admits that the plank in the last Republican National plat form regarding injunctfons was put there to placate the labor leaders and with no intention of it's being carried out. He carries his frankness to an even greater extent and says the plank is perfectly non-committal' and means nothing, being simply a dishon- est trick to lure the unwavy working man and delude him with the belief that the Republican party was his friend. If the truth was told. it would do doubt reveal that the tariff revision plank was another dishonest plank, never intended of fulfillment. and that the whole platform was a tissue of falsehood and false pretense.

SECRET PUBLICITY.

The bill providing publicity for cam paign expenditures and contributions passed at the last session and signed by President Taft is not what the people have for years been demanding.
 The House provided for publicity BEFORE election. but the Senate re- fused to pass such a measure and as a result of a conference publicity will not be made until AFTER the elections have taken place.
 What's the use of publicity AFTER an election, when what has been done cannot be undone?
 Publicity BEFORE an election would seem to be the only kind of publicity worth anything. for then the voters would be given timely notice as to which party and candidates were of, by and for the trusts, and which were of, for and by the people
