 'The trouble with the people,. he declared, '.is that prosperity has made them so lazy they are willing others should do their thinking for them.'' a declaration less fortunate than the first, since quite recently almost two- thirds of the people were so determin- ed to do their own thinking they di- vided their. strength, thus furnishing Headers with an opportunity to en- joy the practical advantages of the union of politics with business
 Those who read the report of the banquet in a morning contemporary will be inclined to take the view, that the kind of politics there illustrated, described and exemplified would also be more endurable in hades, than in Bridgeport or heaven.

There is much reason behind the petition of the teachers for a single maximum salary, instead of num- Der of maxima based on the grades taught. It seems to be true that ex- perience in teaching is the most valuable quality which the commun- ity buys, and that this experience is equally valuable without regard to the grade in which it is exerted.
 Indeed there is argument to De made in favor of the assertion that if extra skill, experience and capacity Is needed it is among the teachers in the primary departments of school work, where the mind of the child Is formed at its most plastic age. Here is where the experience of the teacher, her breadth, her capacity for fmparting knowledge and morals will be exerted to the utmost degree of usefulness.
 Neither in the police nor fire depart ments is such discrimination shown as in the school system. Bremen of equal ~SsHk ssreffiys equal salaries. Policemen of the same length of Ser

vice and the same rank receive equal pay. Why should not teachers?
 Conceivably fireman may do more work than another fireman, as for instance, one who serves in a station responding to many alarms, as opposed to one who does duty in a station which responds to few alarms. Also policemen vary, ore from another in ability but 1t has every where been found impractica- ble or unwise to attempt to grade them according to ability in estab- fishing their compensation.
 Societies of doctors. lawyers. den- tists and the like have universally stablished single standards as the measure of compensation for their members. Most social experience therefore fayors the contention of the teachers. The board of educa- ton should give favorable ear, and should find sound reasons for deny ing the petition for a single maxl- mum, if they do deny it.
 Are there sound reasons? None, we believe, that will bear intelligen: scrutiny.

For downright humor, conscious and unconscious, the Republican banquet last night, has place all its own. The merriest mot was that by the toastmaster, Nathaniel w. Bishop, who preceded his introduction of the nom- fnal head of the Republican machine with the remark, 'I could have bet ter time in hades with King than in Heaven with anybody else" Having been thus warmly welcomed the Re- publican leader proceeded to give at some length his views on politics which may be of especial interest as representing the kind that MT. Bish- op may find in that place in which he says King would make him hap piest.
 Kings political philosophy was ex- pressed in a single sentence in which he said, Politics and business go hand in hand" .e. <.,

tionably, however, for the purposes of this work the existing administration enjoys superb advantages.
 The man behind the mayor enjoys connection with large financial and business institutions, and with the ac- tuaI value of manufacturing property in Bridgeport. Such information is unique and has never been enjoyed by board of assessors, nor has any, body been willing to impart the in- formation to any former mayor.
 Mayor Wilson's administration can, if it will, reach manufacturing prop erty and tax it at some where near it's value. The knowledge necessary to this work is for the first time avail able.
 The tax equalization promise will be kept. The administration must keen it's pledge at this point. Tn complete tax equalizatiap lies the sole oppor- tunity of the administration and the man behind it to obtain some mea- suren of public confidence. Without this there can be no great delay in the arrival of municipal ownership of public services. The ship is caugh, in the storm with too much cargo Jonah must be thrown overheard Jonah in this case is the manufac- turers of Bridgeport. How strangely do things work out. Who a year ago could have foreseen time when the fuller taxation of manufacturine property would be accomplished by the owners of public service property to avert the feared day of municipali- zation.

In the platform of the Warner combination representing 'my policies'' as accepted by Mayor Wilson, appeared one commendable plank, borrowed though it was from the platform of the Democratic par ty, and the program of this newspa- per- If Mayor Wilson, or more ac- curately. stf1e. man behind the mayor, shall keep his or their promise in this respect, much justice will be done. There can be no objection in equity or morals to the. taxation of large property at it's full value. Every prompting of fair play directs that the unequal assessment of homes to pay ztheoyc of running the city, should cease. This matter of tax in- justice was first brought into prom thence during a primary contest some years ago, in which Former Alderman Thomas O'Brien was a candidate for the mayoral nomination on the Demo- cratic ticket. He made it an issue. The facts, of this great wrong were thereafter frequently exhibited in cold figures in the columns of The Farmer. The issue was made a part of the Democratic platform and under the administration of Mayor Buckingham some progress was made toward get ting more equality. This work was attended however with great difficult ties. the board of assessors having no means of compelling owners of the larger forms of property to exhibit their holdings. In the whole Mayor Buckingham did splendid work in the cause of tax equalization. Unques-
