GOV. BALDwIN,s APPOINTMENTS

The Connecticut Senate will probably vote upon the Governors appointment to the Insurance commisionership this week. and the result will be regarded as indicating its action upon his nom1- nation for Highway commissioner when made. Rumor states that he will nominate for the latter position either J. Frederick Jackson of New Haven. secretary of the Connecticut Civil Engineers Association. or Alfred H. Terry. a division engineer of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. It has been reported that he believes the Highway commissioner should be a civil engineer which the incumbent is not. This opinion is also held by many persons who are inter es.ed in good-road work. But as matter of fact. the position also calls of which the present commissioner appears to be devoid. We do not recall State official who has been so sharply and widely criticied as High way Commissioner Macdonald. The complaints have come from town authorities. contractors. automobilists and others. It has also been charged that he has made the office partisan agency; if this be true, no worse charge could be brought, for if any department of the State government should be wholly divorced from poli- tics. it : Is the Highway department.

 The Hartford Courant asks. in con- nection with Democratic nominations. Isn't the Governor playing politics pretty strong?" If his nominations should be rejected for political reasons aione-there can be no other-a similar question might be asked as to the Senate. The Governor is at the head of the States executive department; the positions to which he nominates. are in that department and. as its head. he should be given a free hand in naming his subordinates. It is not believable that such a man as Gov. Baldwin will allow his judgment in the selection of nominees for import ant position to be influenced by polit- ical considerations alone. He is far above any such exclusive considera- tior-

SHOWS THE WAY.

It is natural that Connecticut should lead the way in the matter of airship legislation. That common wealth is famous for it's inventors, and so is not surprised at any new thing. Therefore it is reasonable that the bill introduced at Hartford yesterday for the protection of the rights of the nOn-f1yers should furnish an ex- ample for other States to follow.
 In his message to the Legislature Gov. Baldwin had made a recommen- dation on the matter. It is easy to see how the subject, involving as it does novel legal questions, should have appealed to a great lawyer like him. If the State cannot keep people from trespassing in the air which is above the property of an individual, it may at any rate make such regulations in the way of qualification, registration, and so on, as will reduce the risk to a minimum.
 It is interesting to note that the reg istry number must not be in figures less than feet in length. So that if a flyer clips the top of your chim- ney you will have some chance of making a proper identification with the aid of @ glass. We wonder if we shall live to see the taxicab reg isters on airships.-N. Y. Sun.

DEADLOCK BROKEN
Prosecutor Clark Elected Chairman of Hamden i.
 School Board

The deadlock over the appointment of a chairman of the Hamden school board, involving a combat in which politics played no minor part, was broken at the meeting of the organi- zation last evening. when Charles F. Clarke. prosecuting attorney of the town. was elected to the position. The breaking of the deadlock on the board will cause the town to breathe sigh of relief. To some, the election of Attorney Clarke to the chairmanship came as a surprise as it was thought that the Rev. Father Edward Downes. pastor of St. Mary's R. C.. church of Mt. Carmel. would be elected to fill the vacancy

the state to Jan. of this year, said
today:
There are enough special taxes
! past due, If the same were collected
with the ad valorem taxes now due
the state, to enable the treasurer to
call in all the outstanding general
revenue warrants, and thereby stop
an interest expense to the state of
more than 100000 for the year 1911
and thereafter if the same is given
proper attention"
Those conversant with state f.
nances say that the revenues of the
state are sufficient to meet all cur
rent expenses of state government i'll
some means can be devised to col
lect the taxes due the state Some
take the view that the present sys-
TEN of giving the state auditor charge |
OF the collection of taxes and thus
giving one man the double burden
of collecting and supervising the dis
bursement of the states finance is
wrong.
Others take the position that if
law can be enacted which will require
all individual and corporations to pay
their taxes when due without giving
them the right to go into court and
enjoin the collection of state taxes
that the problem would be solved to
great extent. With this object in
view a bill has been introduced in the
senate by Senator Hatchett and 9TH
ers denying individuals or corpora
tions the right to enjoin the collection
OF taxes, but requiring them to pay
them under protest if they believe the
levy to be illegal or unjust, and then
giving them the privilege of bringing
suit to recover in court any taxes that
might be illegal. The wholesale en-
joining of state taxes they claim is
largely responsible for the present
of the states finances.
