ca ana was greeted, by Simeon E. Baldwin, governor of Connecticut, Friday meeting worthy of com ment, since these we'll known men ssS of e.ie safne political faith, of the game efofssston and of the same economic beliefs; with Governor Bald win perhaps shade more conserva-
 tive in his outlook upon social pro- gress. Each is the governor of a state which had for years given a heavy Republican majority, except when the rule was reversed by reason of the vote getting power of these favorite sons. Each preserves the manners of the Jeffersonian period, in simplicity Of apparel, in hatred of the display of office and the appanage of rank, in plain utterance, marked by logic and common sense. One is much mentioned as the candidate of his party for president of the United States. The candidacy of the other for the vice presidency has been re- ceived with approval in quarters where the Jeffersonian traditions are remembered and revered. Governor visit to Connecticut was connected with his candidacy for the presidency, and was marked by the immediate opening of Harmon head quarters in Hartford.

TAX LIST, 1911

The Assessors of the City of Bridge port will meet at the Assessors Office, City Hall, on the first day of Septem- Der, and each week day thereafter. to and including the second day of Oe-. tober, 1911, for the purpose of receiv- ing the sworn lists of all persons lia- ble to pay taxes on personal property (namely, horses, wagons, automobiles. stock in stores, etc.), and real estate. in the City of Bridgeport, making a description of all real estate, each parcel being separately described Gin ciuding street number). And if he or she shall neglect or refuse to do so, the Assessors shall fill out a list for him or her and add thereto ten per centurn of it's valuation.
 The attention of nonresident prop erty owners is called to the change in the law relating to the filing of their lists, as failure on their part to list their property during September, de- prives them of the right of appeal to the Board of Relief.
 Special attention is called to Sec tion 23O3 of the Statutes, which states that each parcel of property must be separately and accurately bounded and described.
 Post Office address of each owner must be, given.

EVERY JOB A CINCH.

It is typical of the blind stupidity of the politicians who dominate gov ernment in Connecticut that in a time when the minds of men cry out for more control over public servants, they, the politicians, would take away what now exists. The highway com missioner. with millions in his hands, is to be removed by law, from the discharging power of the governor, who appoints him, which is the near est that the discharging power of the people comes to the. highway com missioner, he being an appointive of ficer.
 There are a multitude of reasons warranting. the discharge of an em- ploye. which to not reach the dignity of serious offenses, such as moderate incapacity, or purpose to install, a man of greater usefulness. From a right to a job which can only be dis turbed after judicial trial, to a vested right in a job is but a short way. AL ready we have statesmen favoring no discharge except upon the decision of a court. Tomorrow we shall have statesmen who advocate that no help shall be fired except upon compensa- tion from the public treasury for loss of salary and emoluments. Public office nailed down, copper ,riveted, and sheated with armor plate" is the new motto of the old oligarchy.
 Let the governor discharge an em- ploye of the people, who is not in with him. nor with the peo- pie? Never!
 It is the old story of the three guardsmen; one for all and all for oneE If the governor can take away the job of the state highway com somebody else can take away my job, says each oligarch.
 Let us stand by all our jobs, says the oligarchy of jobs. So up, jobs and at it! It shall be a criminal of fense to discharge any public em- ploye. He who seeks to discharge a highway cesanissioner shall be guilty or a felony, e3 he ~--.o accomplishes any such discharge shall be hung by the neck until he is dead.

THINKS HILL CANNOT
 BE RENOMINATED

The cat is out of the bag. The reason the Hartford Courant opposes the redistricting of Connecticut has finally become known. It fears Con- gressman Hill will be cut out of a sure Republican district
 By the proposed plans for redistrict- ing the state Congressman Hill will be left in Fairfield county, as Eitch- field county, which hitherto together with Fairfield formed the fourth dis trict, has been Topped off and made to form part of a new district. the fifth.
 The Courant sees in The Days advocacy of redistricting the state gressman Hill out of public life Nothing could be further from The Days desires. By the proposed re- apportionment plan that congressman is left in Fairfield county, the place of his residence. He has represented that county great many years and his services to the state and the na- ton should have deeply impressed themselves upon the people of his own county
 Congressman Hill has never failed, heretofore, to carry Fairfield county, even when many of his party asso- ciates have fallen by the wayside. Why, then, should the Courant be alarmed as to his political future? C0IldiiNy u QOeS IlOC D0ll0N0 IQdL CCH- gressman Hills popularity is waning. It cannot be afraid that he will be un- able to carry Fairfield county in the event of its being made the fourth dis trict. The Day does not believe MT. HiM, himself, has any such fear
 But Congressman Hills ability to carry Fairfield county has nothing to do with the case. .. To rediserict the state is the right thing to do. This is also the right time to do it. It is a plain duty, long neglected.
 In redividing the state to secure an equal number of people in each dis triot it is only natural that Fairfield county should be left by itself No other way of redisttricting the state without sacrificing county lines is pos sible.
 The Courant, apparently, would pre- fer to carve up the state so as to en- sure the creation of Republican dis tricts, but the day of such rank par tisanship is past, at least in Connecti- cut.
 7 What Congressman Hill really has to fear, is not his ability to carry Fairfield county, but whether he can secuue a nomination with so many
