THE EXTENDING OF TAX MONEY

The municipal republican platform of Bridgeport strikes a sensitive chord when it advocates good work for good money m public affairs
 The political soft snap is q disgrace to the present political system and is ths sin of the dominant parties in all T4Lrts of NeNy@ England
 The taxpayers everywhere are alive to the fact that tax funds do not yield all adequate return in labor and 1hey are ready to cheer and support the party that dares to stem the tide of extra Va sance - which represents wsste-iB this direction
 There would be no wrong in de- handing q full days Ia loor for full days pay from every man in city eIn- pioy The practice of making work last as long as they can under day work system is a, wrong to the tax payers and in effect Is no more or less than robbery
 A system which permits part of the emploges to soldier unprofitably affects those who would do good work under more honora bIe and honest con- ditjcns.
 The republicans of Bridgeport ought to gather strength upon such a popu- lar political plank this.

SHEEP-fn point OF demand. today's
trade in sheep and lambs was a repetition
of last weeks active market. Light re.
ceipts served to sharpen inquiry and
orders were filled with a fair degree OF
freedom from the start. Prices ranging
from steady to dime higher brought the
big bulk Of supply, but any advance was
more frequent on high dressing strings A.
good quality and condition received usual
preference.
About twenty-five doubles OF stock ar.
rived in all. this estimate including only
four or five loads OF sheep. Shorn lambs
made Up larger shipments, and Mexicans,
either wooded or shorn, were relatively
scarce.
Despite the fact that two conditions
might logically be taken as unfavorable to
trade in wooded offerings. anything In
fleece at all desirable sold to a very good
advantage. A dead wool market plus a
warm weather aversion OF animals un-
shorn, appeared TO be completely ignored
by buyers. Wooled Mexican lambs brought
as much as $500 the highest price paid
locally for fed stuff in over five months
Wooled western lambs reached $500 Shorn
lambs ranged from $3.50 down, a good
heavy kind of natives moving at A5.
There was hardly enough business IN the
sheep branch Of the trade TO nut values on
quotable basis. Ewes. mostly shorn.
were the only arrivals. wooed selling at
$50 and shorn grades moving at and near
$40
