LEADER BANKS AND
SPECIAL LEGISLATION

House Leader Banks pleading with
the Republican caucus not to pass
special legislation is something that
will be commended from one end Of
the state to the other, in principle
at least. The application of the prin-
ciple in this instance was pitifully
humble. The House had voted to
license a famous bone setter, in order
that a business carried on for genera
tions in his family might be legiti-
matized. This would have made the
person concerned, one Sweet, the
only man in Connecticut who could
lawfully adjust broken bones, with
out being registered as a physician.
This was novelty. The General AS
sembly has passed special legislation
granting divorces, enfranchising fell
ons. taking the property of the pub
lie, giving said property to private in
terests without compensation. When
ever it could conveniently do any
thing to outrage a general law, or
contravene a general principle it has
done that thing, even to the extent
of granting to monopolies power 10
issue stock and bonds to any amount
the same to be lawful investments for
savings banks and trustees House
Leader Banks has made a good
though belated start, but the anger
of the people against special legisla-
ton will not be appeased by a phil
lipic against the grant of a monopoly
to a bone doctor. Mr. Banks is acute
enough to perceive that monopoly
Of the right to set bones, is not near
ly as valuable as a monopoly of the
right to lay tracks in public highways.
1t is now up to the General Assent bly,
to pass suitable legislation, declaring
that no other bone setter shall here
after be authorized, except after a
finding of public convenience and
necessity by the courts

campaign; second, to hold together
the producers, middlemen and retail
ers by a system of contracts.
SO all the oyster growers dealing
with the Sealshipt company were in
duced to sign contracts that they
would sell their bivalves exclusively
to the Sealshipt system; the middle
men were held under contract to buy
alb their oysters from the Sealshipt
system and use the ''sealshiptors'' eX-
clusively; the retailers were held I'M
der contra ct to buy their Oysters from
the Sealshipt middlemen and to sell
their oysters in "sealshipticases" "a
smaller ''sealsh1ptor for the retail
trade.
Thus by a system of contracts dove
failing into one another the Sealshipt
company secured in fact and on pa
per, pretty nearly complete control
of the oyster system; but the deci-
sion of Judge Platt indicates that the
elaborate system of contracts may be
worthless and the whole plan knocked
to flinders.
The advertising campaign was car
ried out on an immense scale and al
conSiderabl expense, SO much so thai
the Sealshipt company sent word to
all it's customers that hereafter they
must pay Is cents a gallon for the
shipping of their oysters in "sealship-
tors instead of 10 cents, which had
been the charge for years.
Furthermore the Sealshipt company
fixed the price for the sale of the
oysters at an advance of five cents
over the customary prices.
Under their iron-clad contracts
which prevented them from buying in
the open market, the middlemen and
retailers supposed that they would be
forced meekly to swallow this huge
advance but it didn't look that way
to Andrew Radel of Bridgeport, who
was one of the biggest oyster dealers
in the whole Sealshipt system. He i'm
mediately withdrew from the social
ed trust and the battle began.
Bringing forth it's contracts, the
Sealshipt company sued to have the
Radel oyster company restrained from
approaching the Sealshipt customers
The answer to that petition has come
from Judge Platt in no uncertain
terms, and in addition the whole Seal
shipt system has received a black eye
in the Judges decision.

CONSOLIDATION OF
TAX DISTRICTS

Every citizen should thoughtfully
consider the proposition to CONSOLE
date the First and Second Taxing Dis
tE-zcs. rne amount of property that
hes OUTSIDE the Second District is
rela lively small. This property con-
sists largely in land, which is being
rapidly built up and which will be
more rapidly built up to the extent
that il is improved and protected.
Many owners of dwellings in the First
District are anxious to have consoli-
dalton, to obtain sewers police and
Ere protection.
Opposition perhaps chiefly exists
among those who own unimproved
land. which they believe will not be

value of such real estate will increase

ments, to the benefit of the city and
the private owners.
The development of city realty in
the outskirts Is retarded, because
ford and Fairfield, where sites can
be had near the villages at reason
able prices, and along the routes eff

Under the present system there is
more to attract the home builder in
these suburban towns than in por-
tons of the area outside the Second
District.
That is a short sighted financial
policy. which, to escape a few mills
of taxation, foregoes those advan-
tages succinctly described as modern
improvements" There is also much
justice in requiring that the property
outside the Second District shall pay
g. larger share of the cost of conduct
ing the city.
1t is fallacious to assume that be-
cause an improvement is entirely in
the Second District it is not useful 10
property entirely in the First District,
and that it is not an element to be
considered in computing the value Of
such property.

the citizens in common are an ele-

The Fire Department actually fur

police cannot maintain law and order
in one part of the CITY without main
tanning law and order in all parts Of
the city.
What justification is there for a
condition that puts the East End in
the Second District, and leaves Black

First District?
The more the thoughtful home

slider the plan for consolidation the

But wherever the merits of the
case may lie the actual consolidation
should not be accomplished in haste,
nor rough shod over the protests of
those whose property would be es-
pecially affected. There is no occas-
ion for haste. For the present solu-
ton might be found in an amend
ment making certain additions to the
charges against the First District IN
consideration of certain improve
ments being extended. It would be
practicable to furnish fire protection,
for instance, and charge a suitable
portion of the cost thereof, and this
principle could be extended as far as

TUBERCULOSIS CAUSES TEN PER

Statistics showing how serious q
problem tuberculosis is to the ordinary
church congregation were published to-
day by the National Association for
the Study ana Prevention Of Tubercu-
losis in q bnlletin on Tuberculosis Day.
From reports received from over
US churches, with a membership Of
over $4,000 communicates Of twenty
denominations, and from POS cities and
towns in twelve states in various parts
of the country, out of nearly 1000
deaths in 1910, over 700 or 10.4 per
cent were caused by tuberculosis: THIS
means pa deaths for every thousand
members Of commandments.
while the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis as compared with other
diseases is not higher in the churches,
according to these figures, than in the
country az large, the tuberculosis
death rate, as shown by the church
returns, is higher per thousand com
municauts than that for the general

Besides being cashier of the bank,
he was treasurer of the United Order

Mr.. Hill was also prominently con-
