It had been supposed that the pur- pose of the automobile combine, said to be financed by J. Pierpont Morgan, was to maintain prices against com petition which threatened to reduce them. But it now appears that one of the companies controlled by the com bine has materially reduced the prices of it's 1911 machines. Does this mean that MT. Morgan who is exceptionally foresighted, believes that the demand for high-priced machines is nearly or quite satisfied, and that the future of the industry depends upon the very many who can only afford to buy low, or medium-priced machines? It is said to be a fact that 1910 has not been a satisfactory year for the high-priced machines, and also that a number of the companies are loaded with unsold autos If this be true, the alleged opinion of MT. Morgan stands at least partly confirmed.

"A MATTER OF NATIONAL
 REPUBLICAN POLICY, ;,

The income tax amendment to the Federal Constitution, has in some quarters been denounced as a t'Dem- ocratic abomination." While it may have a Democratic origin, being when properly levied the most equal of all taxes, the pending proposition eman- ated from the Republican party and was evidently born of belief that the Federal government would need more revenue in the near future, and that it would be wise to now confer upon Congress the power to levy this new tax at any time.
 That the pending measure is not "a Democratic aJbomination'' but of Re publican origin. is proven by the fol- lowing letter from so high a, Repub- 1ican authority as Senator Elihu Root:
 The income tax amendment was simply a matter of national Republi- can policy. It was recommended to Congress by a Republican President and was voted for by substantially the entire Republican majority in the Sen ate and in the House of Representa- tiVes. It has been favored by every Republican President since Cleveland. The right of the nation to impose such a tax is a fundamental Republican doctrine, for the imposition of in come tax was one of the great Repub- Hcan measures by which the money was raised to sustain the Union cause fS the civil war.
 The precedent cited by Senator Root occurred in war times, but the pend ing amendment is not in terms limit ed to such periods, though the Repub- lican argument in it's support profes- ses an intention to impose the tax on- Iy in time of war. In all probability, the real intention is to levy it in times of peace as well as war, in order to provide the revenue demanded by Re publican extravagance of expenditure
 Democrats have long advocated an income tax. mainly because when fairly levied and collected it is the most even of all taxes and because it would place the greater burden upon

Public opinion compelled Congress, when it was considering the tariff bill, to put the products of the Stand ard Oil Trust on the free list. Now, the consumers of refined oil are hay ing their reward, for the trust has been compelled to reduce the price. Oil in barrels has now been cut in price from 3-4 to 8 3-4 cents at the refinery, and refined oil in tanks has been reduced from 6 1-2 to 5 1-2 cents a gallon. Had other commodities re- ceived similar treatment at the hands of Congress, the cost of living would be much lower

The American Federation of Labor is sending into this State the records of the Connecticut delegation in Con- gress, all of whom are saidi to have voted against the proposition to ex- empt labor unions from the operation of the Sherman antitrust act. It is an undoubted fact that this law was not intended to cover labor unions and also that they have been brought un- der it's Jurisdiction by a forced con- struction of it's terms. The original intent was clearly an application of it's terms to railroad systems and indus trial combines only.

NOMINATIONS BY
 
EXCISE THE GANGRENED PART.

The profound silence of the NorwaIk newspapers which erstwhi1e were so outspoken against Sheriff Haw1ey, is really the 1oudest feature of the coun- ty campaign. We hesitate to credit the intimation of the Sentinel that the Hours loud silence is due to the receipt of large advertising from Sher- if Hawley, and we likewise dislike to believe that the Sentinel's apparent inclination to 'say things" after the Sheriffs renomination was squelched by orders from higher up.'
 To an outsider, at looks very much as if Congressman Hill, though dis approving the HawIey candidacy, had given orders for loud silence, as a mat ter of expediency-that is, to avert re- taliation by the Sheriff upon the Hill candidacy. From the low standpoint of factional politics, the policy is at least plausible; from the higher stand point of the whole party's welfare, the matter shows a different aspect. If Sheriff HaWley's course for nearly six teeen years has been a persistent, per- nicious "dabb1ing in politics. with an equally constant disposition to neddle in party matters outside his legitimate jurisdiction, and with a chronic ambi- ton to arbitrarily rule the Republi- cans of the county, is it wise to pro- mote his chances of securing these abused opportunities and powers for four more years?

Of GA Republican nominations for the General Assembly, says the Hartford Courant, 1.-two are set down as uncer- tain, and, giving one to each side, the total 64 stand now Mclean fl, Bulke- ley 23.''
 Usually, the Courant's estimates are reliable, but according to current re- port they erred in predicting a large
 majority for Goodwin in the State convention when, in fact, the major fty en the first ballott was small, and secured by "ways that are dark be- tween midnight and the hour of the convention's opening. How nearly ap- proximating this current report. the fact may be, we do not know, nor do we care to intimate at present that the above Courant estimate of the standing of 64 Republican nominations is knowingly incorrect.
