INVITING THE ASSEMBLY
 TO PERFIDY AND DISHONOR

Apparently forgetting its duty as a Democratic newspaper, and the duty of every newspaper to the people, the Hartford Times continues to oppose and even to misrepresent the income tax, which has been Democratic doc. Urine for many years, and which is favored by the Democrats of Connec- ticut, in the New Haven platform. The income tax has been adopted in- to the financial system of pretty near ly every country in the world, as d means of removing the tax burden somewhat from the shoulders of the poor and those of small means. The following is from the Times:
 Chancellor Lloyd Georges budget for the coming fiscal year aggregates the great sum of $906, ,OG0, an in- crease of $38.750, 900. About S350,- 090. 900 of this is to be derived from the income tax and death duties,' and shows what might be done in this country if we had the English system of caste with it's resulting bur- Gcns and distinctions.
 What more desira bIe tax can there be than a tax on incomes. or a tax on inheritances, neither of which can readily be shifted to the shoulders least able to bear them?
 The Federal government derives its revenues from taxes on tobacco liquors and imports. The plain peo- laid upon property, but upon con- sumption. Connecticut's contribution is s15,0O0,0O0 annually paid by the tbilers, the women and the children. out of their scanty wages.
 Would it not be better to shift part of this great burden to the certain incomes of the we'll to do, the rich and the millionaires. Would it not be juster and more American to take a larger portion from inheritances and a smaller portion from the pitt tance of the child workers and the woman in industrial pursuits, and the man with a large family and only his daily labor for support?
 The question is plain enough. Shall the toilers of Connecticut bear the r-d-ot part of tue states contribution S5 i:le ation, or shall wealth bear an equitable part?
 The attention of the Times is call ed to the dictum of Governor Dix of New York, where the legislature seemed about to commit the same iniquity to which the Times advises the General Assembly.

CHANCE FOR RESTITUTION

New London has a fine natural harbor. New London modestly asks the state of Connecticut to appro- priate s1,O00,O00 for the improve ment of it's harbor. The request un- doubtedly will not be granted. The General Assembly is liberal, but nev- CT to the cities of Connecticut. The General Assembly can be depended upon to take values that belong to the cities and donate them to people to whom they do not belong, but so far as we know nothing has been done looking toward restitution. But if the city is to donate values to the extent of a million dollars, the gift should not be solely to New London. There should be a division.

Wants Dr. Mccormack
 to Answer Questions
To the Editor of the Farmer:

To the Editor of the Farmer:
 Sir-Dr. J. N. Mccormick, who is to lecture here under the auspices of the Bridgeport Medical Society, will no doubt endeavor to impress upon the people the great importance and ne- cessity of vaccination-in fact, that is what he is hired for. I wish, MT. Editor, you might get him to answer some of the following questions:
 What is used to vaccinate with-not simply the name of the stuff is, but what it is? The source from which it is derived,-and when he has an- Swered those questions, get him to tell his audience why it was that in Japan, the most thoroughly vaccinated coun- try in the world, there were over 1S,- 900 cases of smallpox in 1908, and over 5000 deaths.
 Were it not for the vast financial gains derived from vaccination it would not exist. The tremendous in come derived from this practice is be- yond conception. So great is the money value of this practice that it has become the one great and only medical prescription that has received the support of legislative enactment throughout the civilized world, and compulsory laws have been made to increase this money value and support the hungry horde of grafters engaged in the business,
 The common people at large do not want vaccination; hence. compulsion. One hundred million of people in this country; one hundred million of vac citations; a million more born every year. Think what this means, and then the representation. Col. Seller's S Eye Water holds no comparison to it as money maker.
 The great American Mutual Trust of course takes a great interest in the welfare of the people, and like so many other philanthropic bodies, has it's walking delegates around, instruct ing the public.
 The day has gone by when the peo- pie can be fooled all the time, and these very distinterested purveyors of medical humbug will find it out to their sorrow before long.

SEPARATE THE ACCOUNTS

That is an excellent suggestion, that the accounts of the First and Second Districts be separated. As matters stand the amount contribut- ed to the revenue of the city by the First District is ascertainable. The First District, in the present use of the name, refers to all that portion of the city, not inside the Second District. We have little doubt but that such a separation would fully satisfy those property owners who complain that too much of the ex- pense of conducting the city is charg- cd to them, that they are in error, and are getting more than they pay for

ed his present standards. These
wishes. he believed. could best be ac-

interest.
IL was not the intention OF Mr..
Pulitzer to deprive his newspapers of
TIE able guidance OF his sons for all
time. According to the same high
authority the active control of Mr..
Puiltzer's newspapers will again pass
to his direct descendants when the
youngest son. Herbert. now a lad of
IA. reaches an age Of maturity and
has had a ripening.
The youngest son OF Mr.. Pulitzer
was born after the editor had lost his

COULD NOT NoREsEE FUTURE.
Sailors Home Founders New York
City Orchard Now Worth Twenty.
one Million Dollars.

New York Herald.
The trustees of Sailors Snug Har-
Dor, an institution on Staten Island.
which was founded by Capt. Robert
Richard Randall in 1901, and which
is supported by the income of what
was in Capt. Randall's day an orchard
on the outskirts Of town. but which Is
now In the heart Of Manhattan and
worth S21 900. 900 have filed friendly
suit the object Of which is to break
Capt. Randalls will. The purpose of
the suit Ia to obtain permission to sell
part OF the property 50 as to provide
funds with which to improve the re-
mainder and to permit the trustees to
acquire buildings after the lease of
the lands upon which they stand have
expired.
When Capt. Randall executed his
will four days before his death on
June /. 1901. he could not foresee the
greatness Of the New York of 10
years later. He probably believed that
his orchard. for which he had paid
$l2.600 In 1890. always would be on
the outskirts Of the thriving little city
and that the income would be barely
sumcient for the maintenance Of
Sailors Snug Harbor.
TO make up any deficiency Capt.
Randall added four lots and buildings,
then valued at $2O.250, and $13,s2O.15
In cash and stocks. But in 10 years
the orchard and lots have become the
sites for many Of the more import
ant structures In Manhattan, the val
ue of the land alone reaching $2l,-
100000. The leases for ground rent
ais run for twenty years or there
abouts, with privilege to lessees to re.
new at the expiration of their leases.
As the trend Of population and busi-
ness Is up town. the trustees realize,
they say. that the Randall estate will
suner financial loss unless prompt
action is taken and many Of the bet
ter buildings on the leased land are
acquired for income purposes.
But the will Of Capt. Randall d.
rects that no part Of the property ever
snail be sold. The provision was not
onerous to the trustees for fifty years
atter Capt. Randall's death, but now
things have changed so radically that
In the Judgment Of the trustees the
oest interests or the estate demand
that the will should be legally broken.
rhey argue that this step will not be
In any sense breach of the spirit Of
capt. Randalrs, will. as he could not
possibly have foreseen the changes n
century would make in Manhattan.
