that the people have found it neces-

AUTOISTS BECOME
SPECIAL OFFICERS

Because of the great number of
terrible automobile accidents and fa-
talities which are becoming more nu-
merous in the Norwalks and through
out the state as well as throughout
the country. there is a movement on
foot to have certain autoists who are
interested in the welfare of law and
order, made special policemen of ev-
cry township in the state. thereby
having authority to make arrests of
reckless auto speeders in any part
of the state where they happen to
see it. Chief Thomas Leatherland
of the Norwalk police force, was in
tervlewed by a prominent AUTOMOBILE
list of Greenwich, yesterday, who IS
at the head of the proposed move
ment, and he stated this morning to a
reporter of The Hour that he was
highly in favor of the proposition, and
thought it the only possible way in
which to cope with the siituation
which is fast becoming alarming
Chief%Leatherland heartily endors-
es the movement, and beIieves that
every police department in the state
will do likewise. superintendent
Birmingham of the Bridgeport police
department, has been interviewed by

a new feeling among the more care
full of the automobiles, who have
come to believe that instead of shield
ing every autoist as has been the rule
of the past, it is now time to assfss
the authorities to stop the dare devil
reckless driving of some drivers, which
is causing death and horrible injuries
every day. If several of the careful
drivers were given the authority asked
for they could make many arrests

OVERTAXING THE FARMER

Theoretically the Historic system
operates for the benefit of the small
town, and, since the small towns are
merely so much land, this means, il
it means anything, that the historic
system benefits the people of the
small towns. Practically it does M
such thing. 1t would be strange if i,
did. 1t is the nature of injustice to
benefit few. Connecticut has suffer
ed greatly by the retention of its an
cient method of representation. and
none more than the dweller in the
rural places. Especially is the farmer
the victim Of Connecticut's unjus,
laws relating to taxation. New light
is thrown upon this subject by Tax
Commissioner Corbin, who, in his re-
port, once more directs attention to
the manner in which the property OF
corporations is taxed. He says Of this
species of property:
The tbasis of valuation is lower
than that of other similar property
and varies in the different towns from
an dQHlltl0O twenty-five per cent. Oh
fair value to an alleged hundred pei
cent.
This causes an inequality of the
grossest nature, which says the tax
commissioner, bears heavily in in
dividuals. particularly in the rural
communities.
And this is but an example. One
may well ask. what has the historic
system done for the small town dwell
err if it has not gained him equality
in taxation?
If he suffers so fundamental a
wrong as tax injustice, what wrongs
more obscure are there that he does
not. or may not, suffer?
1t is to the advantage of all in
dividuals to have one man count one
vote.
1t is to the advantage of tax dodg-
ers, and predatory special privilege
corporations to maintain an oligarchy
Or, is it? There is a natural law thai
reestablishes balances. A spring will
fly back as much as it is forced
down. is the homely way of stating
the truth. The political horizon is
filed with signs that seem to show
that change is at hand. When the
dancing is done somebody must pay
the fiddler.

THE BIRD MEN

When the poet wrote of sky filled
earth, he was merely ahead of the

some of the learned among the an
clients had declared flying within\ the

Rival flying machine companies are

Bridgeport has played her part in
the development of the flying ma
chine. That man of genius, Sir Hiram
Maxim. had already dabbled in the
art, when he was a resident here.
One ambitious bird man has spread
his wings and scared. True, he lit
like the eagle in the story, that flew
higher and higher until by and by it
perched on granddad's woodpile, but
his venture was saved from the ridi-
culous. because his life all but paid
the penalty.
At last however, we are to have
real flying, by real birdmen. The
more. the better. The people of
Bridgeport care not which fly the
highest, or the fastest. 1t all helps
The famous flyer, Mr. Ovington,
promises speed, because of the great
power in his engine, which enables
him to spread less surface to the
wind. Doubtless the Curtiss machine
also has its advantages
Bridgeport welcomes all the bird

with death. They are a noble breed
and they are welcome to the price of
peril Bridgeport will give them lib
