were always at their disposal. It was
his benevolence which caused Trum-
bulls death, since he caught the Ia
tai fever at the bedside of e dying
ne1ghbOr to whom he had minlstered.
Like many modest, prudent and be-
nevolent men, Trumbull was lover
of peace. This was shown about ten
years before the Revolution when ne
became anxious over the Wrlts OF as
Sistance and wrote to an influential
friend in England to inform him con-
corning their tyrranical rules and the
effect be feared they would have up
on the colonists. A little later. when
Trumbull was at the head of the SUI
preme court, an appeal was made to
this body to allow these writs in Con-
necticut, but the matter was postpon-
ed indefinitely.
However, although Trumbull loved
peace, he was intensely patriotic and
loyal to what he believed right. At
ter he had made up his mind that the
colonies needed liberty his decision re-
manned mistaken. He would not
tolerate anything which seemed to
him wicked. When the oath assent
ing to the stamp act was about to be
taken by Governor Fitch and the
ment with the tory members and
Fitch, finallyrose and left the room,
saying that he would not look on a
sight so infamous. Such was his in
fiuence that many other members of
the council, inspired by his example
went out. Undoubtedly TrumbulPs
conduct at this time was one reason
for his election the next term as gov
ernor.
In his family tomb at Lebanon,
Fumbull sleeps, his earthly cares
over. While he lived he constantly
labored for the good Of the people
and he won their love and venera-
ton. Although he is dead his name
is familiar to lovers of Connecticut
who have been told Of his services
for his country. but he is called by
them as by his people of Lebanon

New Law Prohibiting Open Dis

Madison.-Dairy and Food Com
quent prosecutions are being brought
against parties who persist in yiolat-
ing the sanitary laws governing the
manufacture and sale of dairy and
food products. The 1911 legislature
enacted new law placing greater re-
strictiOns around the display of such
goods in the interest of the public
health.
One section prohibits the display
or storing of fruits, vegetables, or
other food products on the sidewalk,
or outside the place of business, I'M
less such fruits, vegetables, or other
food products are securely covered
by glass, wood or metal cases. or
enclosed in tight boxes, bags or bar
rels, and all such cases and contain

Another section provides that no
dairy or other food product which
has been prepared for eating shall
be displayed or offered for sale I'M
less properly protected from flies,
dust, dirt or other injurious contain

with glass, wood or metal case or

The new law makes the duty of the
local health officers co-ordinately
with the dairy and food commissioner
and his assistants and inSnnctOrc RI

STATE TAX COMMISSION SUS.
TAINS RAISING OF ASSESS
MENTS ON FOX RIVER.
FORMERLY PLACED AT $50
Decision Has Important Bearing on
Waterpower Assessment Through
out Wisconsin and Involves Mill
ions of Dollars in Property.

AppletOn.-The value of a water
power horsepower on the Fox river,
despite its varying utility, is at least
$500, according to the state tax COM
mission, which body has sustained
the findings of county supervisors in
increasing the assessed valuation of
waterpower from $50 to s100 per
horsepower.
The hearing occupied four days
and practically every manufacturer
and power owner on the Fox river
appeared as a witness.
The testimony of Capt John M.
Baer, representing the Green Bay
and Mississippi Canal company,
which owns 7 5 per cent of the power
on the river, and that of John
Strange of Neenah, is said to have
caused the tax commission to sus-
tain the findings of Supervisor Elan
agan and the county board
Millowners for some time past
have not been getting a drop Of
water for power, the river being
nearly dry. Some of the paper and
pulp mills have been shut down
awaiting rain.
The tax commissions decision will
have an important bearing on water
power assessments throughout Wis
consin and involves millions of dol
lara worth of property.
