THE INCOME TAX.

An income taXp amendment to the constitution
Of the United States will be ratified next winter
1t lacked but four votes when the count was last
made. Thirty -one states have now ratified it.
We look upon this as most important Here
tofore the states have denied the right to the fed
eral government to levy such tax and the su-
preme court has held to the same conclusion
When it shall finally become part of the con-
Sttuton then some craftsmanship will be neces-
Sary to levy the tax that it will fulfill the
object of the amendment
Our idea is that it should be a graduated
tax, low where profits are low, heavy where they
are large, and almost cOnfscatory where the prof
its are beyond any fair average, for when such
profits made lt firm or corporation the rule
is that the people make up the amount Tn
exception is where men companies take what
they receive from the earth direct, which is not
tax upon other men but a creation of new
wealth.
And the men who create this wealth from
new field are entitled to extraordinary returns for
the risk they take, for the benefits which throuy
their work the whole world receives
Properly adjusted and no more suits against
soueSS corporations will be needed. 1t would
be most just tax. too, for when men are pro
tected in such accumulations, they should pay for
the privilege Then it would be universal: the
rich would pay their fair proportion Of the taxes
something they never have done since the founda
tions of the world were lad.--Goodwins Weekly

S2l,53O RECEIVED FROM HUNTERS
New London County Fourth List For Number of Licenses
IssuedL2,O72 Issued in Towns of This County.

The fish and game commissioners
have received the bodies of two quail,
mounted by a taxidermist, which will
be of special interest to those who
have followed the experiment of rails
ing quail in captivity that was con-
Quoted at the Connecticut Agricultural
college at Mansfield.
One Of the birds is the original
imported from Kansas, but which died
very soon after it was brought to this
state, and the other was the last of
tie birds Matched in captivity and
which died when young The plum
age of the birds shows the maturity
of one and the youth of the other
The experiment was conducted under
the authority of the commission,
which paid all the excuses. The
commission discontinued the expert
ment December l. the results not
having been satisfactory to them. The
quail are of the Bob White" variety
The commissioners are still Of the
opinion that the only way to propa-
gate quail is to allow the birds to
enjoy freedom. They are birds that
love liberty, and captivity, even in their
fnfantile helpleSsness, does not seem
to be good for them. Their note has
dolefuI sound and it seems to be
an echo of the despairing cry of the
Sterne's starting that was heart brok-
en- in its cage.

LOOKING FOR PLACE

G"oton and Stonington Men Want to
Be Members of State Board of Edu-
cation

Friends of Judge Frederick H.
Brewer, both in Mystic and other
parts of the town of Groton, are talk
Ing of him possible candidate for
a position on the state board of educa-
ton, says the New London Day. Judge
Brewer has been greatly interested in
the educational affairs of his tewn for
a great many years, and has served for
a long time as a member of the GrotOn
board of school visitors. In this ca
pacity he has had the welfare of the
public schools of Groton at heart and
has always favored progI essive ideas
in educational matters. AS member
and chairman of the democratic town
committee, Judge Brewer has been in
the pubic eye of the town of Groton
known not only in his own town but
all through this part Of the state. His
friends are therefore persuaded thar
Judge Brewer would make a popular
candidate for q position as one of the
members of the state board of educa-
ton. There will be a vacancy to fill
on the expiration of the term of a
Norwich man, William H. Palmer.
Another mar VINO is mentioned for
this position is James Cooper of Ston-
ington. Mr.. Cooper has been identi-
fled with educational affairs in Mystic
for a great many years. havIng served
for several years on the school district
committee, giving a great deal of his
time and ability to the work required,
and, since the installation of the town

politics are republican, but, supposedly,

LONG STANDING LABOR
TROUBLES IN COLORADO
J. Allen Davis Made a peace Talk"
Which QueIIed a Fiqht.

Through a letter to his brother, c.
Warren Davis of the Corning road,
East Side, J. Allen Davis, who has been
a resident of Boulder, Col. for the last
So years, gives an inside light on some
troublesome conditions at present ex-
isting in Colorado in the neighborhood
of Boulder. Mr.. Davis was recently
part of a sneriffs posse summoned to
avert a threatened clash between the
strikers and the non-union men at
the mines at Superior, where a coal
strike has been on for 10 months
Both sides have reached the place
where they are ready to use desperate
methods and several killings had
aroused the non union men to frenzy
90 that it was reported they We're ready
to sally out of their stockadeS to make
an attack or the strikers. The bells
were Tung and whistles blown in the
neighbOring hamlets, $50 citizens re-
Porting, from whom the sheriff swore
in a number of men, among them j.
across the country in automobiles and
when they arrived at the mines found
the two hostile parties, armed to the
teeth and drawn up in line facing each
other. Mr.. Davis writes that il was
moment when q chance shot or
wrong word would have started blood
shed. He was chosen to make a peace
talk following the sheriff.
Whatever they said proved effectual,
for TO the great satisfaction of the
peace party, the two hostile camps ac-
cepted their advice, and he writes of
the great relief he and his fellow cit
liens felt as they saw the armed men
fade away across the prairie.

FOR TRUST EVILS.
Head of Steel Corporation Has a
Few Remedies.
Publicity, Control and Less
Presidential Politics.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Government
control of corporations to protect pub
lie interests and insure stability Of
business; publicity of corporation at
fairs, and less presidential politics were
urged today by Gilbert H. Gary, chair
man of the board of directors of the
u s. steel corporation as remedies for
trust evils and business unrest.
Mr.. Gary appeared voluntarily before
the senate committee on interstate COM
merce which is investigating the Ques-
ton of additional trust legislation. He
declared that publicity would accom-
plSh most toward curbing the big COR
porat1ons, but that to insure business
stability and the greatest development
corporations must be permitted to ex-
pdnd under proper governmental con-
troll. The steel corporation Mr.. Gary
said is at all times anxious to obey
the law and desires only as fair treat
ment as was given to the consumer.
Equal treatment is all we ask" he
said. There has never been a time
that have not said; Show US where we
Mr.. Gary said there was too much
presidential politics in the country.
Il would like to see the president
elected for eight years without an OPP
portunity for reelection" he said. I'm
other words put in such a position
and frame of mind that he has no
temptation or inclination to look in
any direction or toward interests in
to his reelection"
Mr.. Gary added that he made mo
reference to any individual in his presi-
dent suggestion" He said the country
is already feeling the unrest of the
coming election
