 While these figures are sufficiently satisfactory testimonials to the "gilt- edged' character of bank stocks as investm ents, the productivity of cap ital invested in banking is even more strikingly shown by the record of the banks of New York City for the cal endar year 1910.

Criticism of the State highway de- the Stamford Advocate, we find the following:
 In the opinion of many, one of the best things Gov. Baldwin and the General Assembly could do for the people is to appoint a capable com missioner in charge of State work up- on the highways, and to bring about a reorganization of that department If there are persons who are disposed to take a narrow view of great question, they ought to be warned by the fact that many citizens in this part of the State voted for Baldwin last November because it was the only way in which they could express, at the polls. their disapproval of the in competency and procrastination which have been characteristic of the State Department of Highways.
 But for the political question in- volved, 1t is not at all probable that the Republican Legislature would be inclined to retain Highway Commis- sioner Macdonald in office. He is a Republican and has been charged with using the patronage of the office in ms party's service. The party gen. erally takes care of tools which have been useful and which promise future usefulness Hence, the disposition to retain Macdonald in office, if possible. regardless of the probably superior merit of the man to be nominat ,d by Gov. Baldwin. It is regrettable that so important an office should have become a partisan perquisite

 A Greenwich Contest.
 The contest over the appointment of judges for the borough court of Greenwich came up before the Judlcl- ary committee at Hartford, Tuesday. w. T. Ferris of Greenwich was oppos- ed to the appointment of Charles D. Burnes and F. A. Hubbard. now judge and deputy judge respectively and for the appointment of Percy D. Adams and W. H. Tferney for the places Most of all he asked con- tinuance until a resolution calling TOT inyestigation of the court by com mittee to be appointed by the Cover nor was decided. Senator Judson said the resolution simply asked for an ln- vestigation without making any charges and the committee was not in clined to look upon it with favor and insisted on going on with the hearing though MT. Ferris said he had not had time enough to prepare for 1t, only having heard of it on Monday. R.. Jav walsh, spoke for Messrs. Burnes and Hubbard, saying the former had been judge of the court for fourteen years and he had never heard any thing against the conduct of the court except by way of MT. Ferris.

SENATOR'S RAW HUMOR
 IN DEFENDING LORlMER
(speciaI from United Press.

Washington. Feb. 9-With a dash of humor. Johnstone, (Dem., Ala.), spoke in defense of Senator Lorimer in the Senate yesterday. Johnstone was one of the investigators who signed the committee report declaring Lorimer not guilty.
 ''Three Senators" he said. iran a hurdle race for first place in the open ing debate in this case. The Senator from Indiana. (Beveridge). with the smoke of battle still fresh on his gar ments and fire flashing from his eyes, struck the first blow Close upon his heels came the Senator from Okla homa (Owen), with a tomahawk and scalping knife, the Pocohontas blood in his veins surging and throbbing at the sight of the auburn locks of the Senator from Illinois-a magnificent scalp to be added to the tent pole of his wigwam.
 "A little later came the Senator from South Dakota. (Crawford). and his path through the law and the facts in this case was fast and furi- ous. as the stampede of a frightened herd of buffaloes on the South Dakota plains trampling down everything and leaving only desolation. dust and death behind
 Attacking the arguments made against Lorimer. by the three Sena- tors. Johnstone said that Beveridge votes; that Crawford also found ten but they were not the same men and that Owen gave a list of Il so-called bribe takers.
 An analysis of the testimony was presented and the Senator insisted that it proved Lorimers claim to his seat to be stainless and just.

 Eventually, these proposed changes would reduce the high cost of living, which not only heavily expresses the poor but also, by reducing the ability of all to purchase other than absolute necessaries, lessens the market for most, if not all, other articles. How much of the prevalent industrial de- pression is due to this cause, it is i'm possible to estimate. But it is easy to understand that the family which finds no surplus funds after the pur- chase of absolute necessaries, canno, purchase, for instance, a sewing ma- chine or carpet sweeper, or a piano or either of many other articles, and the aggregate effect of this monetary disability must be enormous.
 Reduce the cost of living, through the reciprocity agreement and other measures, and thus permit a surplus over actual living expenses, and the stimulation of general industry will speedily follow, with resultant benefit to all.
 Of course, the reciprocity agree ment is, or will be, antagonized by the producers of the articles above tabu- lated, but the principle of the great est good to the greatest number should decide the question. And in that greatest number are included not the workingmen alone, but their em- ployers as we'll.

SENATOR BARNUM LOOKS FOR EARLY
 CLOSE OF SESSION
Adopts Plan For His Important Committee Which Will FaciI-
 itate Business
Especial to the Farmer.l )

Hartford. Feb. e-Senator Charles H. Barnum of Lime Rock. chairman of the committee on Incorpora tions of the General Assembly. is going to an early dispatch of the business be- fore the Legislature in the hope of Obviating the farce of former years when the legislators have been com pelled to keep on visiting Hartford till well into midsummer.
 Senator Barnutn believes that the length of the session depends a good deal upon how the various committee chairmen look after the work assign ed to their respective committees. He has shown a fine example of his intention in this respect by an early organization of his committee and the commencement of the real business before him. Already several import ant matters have received hearing and reports are ready for submission to the General Assembly.
 In a talk with a Farmer representa- tive today Senator Barnum said: ''There is no reason in the world why we should not do the business of the State and be ready to adjourn by June 1 at the latest. AS far as the committee of which I have the homer to be chairman is concerned. and it committees of the General Assembly, we have decided upon policy by which all matters are to be promptly assigned for a hearing and from 10 days to two weeks will be given all parties in interest. Then we will be prepared to proceed with the hearing. and there will be no posCponement except for some extraordinary req son.
 t'It is the constant and senseless postponements that cause delays which keep up here for months longer than is necessary. If the various commit in the session and get rid of all the matters before them as soon as pos- sible I believe it will be possible to bring about an adjournment not later than June |

SIEMON HARD RUBBER C0MPANAY
 WANT CHARTER
Especial to The Farmer ]

IT, Hartford, Feb. 9.-The committee on Interpretations, Senator Barnum, chairman gave a hearing yesterday afternoon on the petition of the Sic mon Hard Rubber Corporation If Bridgeport for charter. Judge A. whose two principal officers, MT. Bryant and MT. Siemon, were present.
 The company, Judge Beers, said had since its organization a few years ago steadily developed until now 1t was doing a constantly increasing in terState business. It reached out in its trade ramifcations to most of the states and territories of the Union. It had originally beeen incorporated under the general law of the state but had decided in the interest of its eX- banding business to make application for charter by direct act of the leg iSlature.
 Judge Beers enumerated the ad- vantages enjoyed by concerns of a like character doing business under special charters and mentioned among others that enjay charter rights of the kind described by him, the U. M. c. Co.,, The Singer Mfg. Co.,, The Crane Co.,, and other Bridgeport con- cerns engaged in manufacture.
 Judge Beers reminded the commit pended upon the prosperity of it's manufacturing concerns and that he understood the policy of the state to be to do everything possible to en- courage those who are engaged in manufacturing pursuits.
 He said the company desired to re- tain the same name and to at the dis cretion of its directorate increase the capital stock to $10O,000, the present capital stock being merely nominal, a matter of $5,000.
 Judge Beers informed the commit tee that under the proposed charter every dollars worth of the now sfN'< X issued would be represented in dol- lars and cents of it's equivalent.
 That is the important feature" remarked Senator Barnum flor it is the policy of this committee to per init no increase of capital stock un- less it is provided that such increase shall be represented in it's equiva- lent in cash and not in what may be termed other classes of securities
 Judge Beers referred to the high standing of the gentlemen who are at the head of the concern. Senators McNeil, Paddock and Bartlett and Representative Bent and Representa- tive Peck of Stratford all said 1t gave them pleasure to urge upon the com mittee favorable consideration of the petition for the representatives of the concern are gentlemen of the highest business probity in the manufacturing life of Bridgeport. There is no doubt that the committee will report favor ably,

HIGH COST OF LIVING

To the Editor of the Farmer:
 Sir-Three Boston letter carriers have been fined by the postmaster general $500 each for going into a res taurant on a bitter cold morning. aft CT their mail was delivered. and get ting a cup of hot coffeei It is the work of one of those sneak inspectors, who want to earn money by preying on their fellow workers. Did the postmaster general ever stop in a saloon or coffee house to get a drink during his working hours? Did the postmaster of New York ever do such a thing?
 You see those who get the big sal aries and who have no hard work to do. can spend as much time in a sa- loon or any other place as they please, but they are not fined. Fines are only for the poor devils who have to work and earn their wages. Letter carriers should drink only cold water just as a matter of economy"

There has been introduced in the New Jersey Legislature a bill provid- ing that Senate and Assembly nomi- nees shall not be put on the ticket unless they shall first file pledges to vote for the candidate receiving the highest number of votes at the prim- aries for United States senator. The purpose is evidently to prevent for the future such contests as that between Messrs. Maritime and Smith, in which the supporters of the latter disre- garded the expression of the prim- aries in favor of Maritime and might have won the day but for the ener- getic action of Gov. Wilson who held that the action of the primaries should be decisive. The tendency of the times is to restore power to the peo- pie and 1t is found everywhere. Its strength comes from the foundation of free government upon the popular will when given due and formal ex- pression.
