NEED OF SUPERVISION.

 That New York's censorship of mo- tion pictures is fairly effective, when active, may be guessed from the fact that when Beulah Binford- was en- gagged by a New York motion picture concern to pose before the camera ito elevate the morals of this cOun- try" the authOriti es immediately in- terfered. The mayor of Denver is all so reported to have prevented the re- production of pictures taken in that vicinity, where Mrs. Gertrude Patter- son, who was recently acquitted in a sensational murder trial, posed in a life-like scene of the murder. These instances give the public some idea Of the limits to which the manufac- turers of picture films go in order to gain sordid ends and satisfy the cray ing of 3 morbidly curious and ignor ant public. They are incidents which emphasize the need of greater vigil ance in behalf of clean shows
 There is no longer any question but all pictures which are to be placed on public exhibition should first, be sub mitted to board of censors, whose judgment should be fair and final and whose approval should be necessary condition for the licensing of public attractions of the moving picture va riety.

made as result of actual experience, for it is we'll known that political corruption is not by any means con- fined to the cities but rather in a large measure to the small towns in which it is said "a vote is worth something, where the voters are few in number and where they take turns in going to the Legislature. When conventions are held and there is talk of bribery, is it directed to the dele It would be unfair perhaps to say that they are more honest as a rule, but political conditions, because of the peculiar system of representa-
 tiOn, places the power in the smaller towns and it is cheaper to deal with them than with the cities. There can be no better illustration of this point tha:: to relate an incident which hap
 pened in this State some years ago. Each party was working hard to se
 cure. control of the Legislature and when each committee went to one of the small towns, which, by the way, has as many representatfv in the Legislature as New Haven, it was found that the expense of securing the two men was so great that neith- CT party felt it could stand it, so they divided it up, each party securing one representative. Of course, conditions have changed since then in a great many ways but the State committees of the two leading parties in Connec- ticut today could, if they desired, tell how much of a change there is ip dealing with the small towns in a political campaign. 1t is fooKsh to suppose that all the honesty in pub towns. Look at Ohio during the last campaign where an entire town sold out and the evidence showed that they had been doing it for years.

TOWN VS. CITY.
(New Britain HeraId.)

\ANcW oIaldln f1STalO.J
 The Middletown Sun is for the town system Of representation and says that there are many other undemocratic things in Connecticut which do not trouble the people who do not like the system of representation, and it cites New Haven which 1t says "has a large number of foreigners within its linn its; it is a town which has much dis order; 1t has it's yellow Journalism; it is noted for it's law breaking, riots and saloon element; 1t has large and not over orderly student element; and no less than 12,0O0 of its citizens have neglected to pay the personal tax. The State police are often called in to look after the saloons, since the local police fafl to do their duty. These facts are largely true of Bridge port, with the exception of the stu dent body. In fact. Bridgeport. against town representation on it's present basis. Nothing less than fif- teen or twenty representatives at Hartford would satisfy that city. In a lesser degree, perhaps, all the cfties of the commonwealth hold the same views"
 These are very extravagant state public on the question the Sun pro- fesses to discuss. In fact it is no ar gument at all for the evils alluded to bear no relationship whatever to the question of representation The Sun, however, adds that it knows both the city and the country town and while believing that there are intelligent and fair men everywhere it says that in the cities they are outvoted by the rabble who are easily led by design ing politicians. There is a grave sus- nician that this statement was nol

HOLCOMB AND
 THE PERSONAL TAX

Judge Walter Holcomb of Torring- ton, who fathered the personal tax bill in the Connecticut legislature, says in defence of the tax that cit pro- yides an efficient and effective means for compelling the professional tax dodger to bear just a mite toward the support of thef government"
 Judge Holconfbs ssie philosophy is much like that of the faithful tame bear, which. seeing fly on his mas ter's face. swatted the fly and kill ed it, and his master too.
 Tn order to 'get' the tax. dodger, Judge Holcomb slings his little gun over his shoulder and gets every body else.
 "Leat one7 guilty man escape, pur- ish everybody 'L' That is a fine brand of reasoning for a Judge"
 But Judge Holcomb elucidates fur ther. He says:
 as efficient a personal property tax law as we have in the personal tax law the taxes of those who are best able to pay. will be increased; much wealth will come from hiding places; and the burden on the small prop erty owner will be still further re- duced."
 Very pretty, but when it comes to practical application, the small property owner gets it in the nsca for Judge Holcomb begins at that

ONLY "BAD DEMOCRATS" TO BE
 7s1 REWARDED BY THE NEW ADMINISTRATION

We have it on the authority of this newspaper, which was chief among the supporters of the new executive of the city, that it was understood in event of his election, that only those Democrats who had the ap- proval of certain leaders would be favored by him. Now this same fountain of scivic enlightenment and ethical culture, famboyantly assever- ates that the ''deap' is not being ad- hered to. Just to show how thor oughly it knew that such compact was in being prior to election, the same authority vouchsafes the infor- mation,- that if the Democrats had been successful, no Republican would have been thought of for preferment. unless he had the approval of the leaders of that heterogeneous aggre- gation.
 For the sake of comity between friends, Mayor Wilson should be careful Before he names any more ''bad Democrats" to office he should bestir himself. Disguised as Dioge- nes armed with Alladin's lamp if he sets out with resolute heart and stout purpose we imagine he will have no difficulty in finding at least one good Democrat" in the naming of whom he may succeed in re-estab- fishing the personna grata with his newspaper accuser.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-12-13

Mayor Wilson has been discovered. We learn with no little interest from one of the local publications that supported his candidacy. that a. cove nant, understood by it, to have been a sort of prediction agreement be- tweeen certain patriotic gentlemen whose souls are filled with civic pride has been-to use it's own term-abro- gated. The mayor is accused of most heinous offense in the eyes of aE true municipal reformers. It is that he is filling the offices, to which the Democratic party is entitled by virtue of a specific charter exact ment with ''bad .Democrats.F This is awful; simply unforgivable; and the mayor should be thoroughly asham- ed. If we only had the recall in operation here, there is scarcely a doubt but that a movement would now be in the launching seeking his removal from power~---
 What can the mayor De thinking of to do such a thing? Doesn't he know. that the housetops of Bridge port are filled with Democrats of the virtuous type; Democrats who like Caesars wife are above suspicion; and who like Barkus are simply awaiting the call to duty :? Why should not the smayor live up to his .ante-elec- tione ebargains-if bargains they were?
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-12-13

We respectfully recommend to the three members. of hesPublic Utility Commission of this state the very ex- cellent report fof ztiiS aifroad ssecuri- ties commission made public this week. Accompanying it was let ter from President Taft cordially ap- proving of it's recommendations. The commission which had as one of it's valuable members, President Hadley of Yale, urges that the fullest pub licity be exacted with respect to the issuance of stocks and bonds by rail- roads and adds that
 All railroads should be forced to re- port to the Interstate Commerce Com mission either prior to or within one year after any securities are issued. complete statements of their stock and bond liabilities, issued and unissued. special preferences, pledges receipts and expenditures, and the value of physical assets. Fine and imprison- ment are urged for failure to file these reports.
 The commission further urges that the Interstate Commerce commission be given power to make physical Valuations'' of railroad property when ever it is necessary,
 There Is no uncertain note in these recommendations. They prove the value of publicity. One of the ar guments advanced by attorneys for public service corporations against the creation of a utility board in this state, was, that it would clothe with authority, a group of men who would
