But even if the gov ernor is not upon the ticket, the Dem ocratic tide has set in so strongly in Massachusetts that in my mind il, seems certain that the Democratic nominee for president will carry the state next November.

TAX EQUALIZATION HAS NOT DRIVEN
 MANUFACTURERS FROM BRIDGEPORT; F THEY HAVE INCREASED IN VALUE

i Connecticut and, except in few states, common throughout the coun- try.
 Everywhere tax burdens were thrust upon the owners of dwellings, and. the more productive forms of property escaped. Tax injustice was a rooted practice, maintained with out the knowledge of the people, through their lack of Information af the value of the escaping property. The injustice was so great that it was impracticable here-and nearly everywhere else-to remedy it in a single year-or even in two or three years. The conscquence of attempt ing wholesale remedy would have been, in some cases at least a. great CT burden, than the enterprise invoIv- ed had arranged to meet.
 The largest single. Tnstallment un- der~the Farmers program, a matter of s5.6Oo. 00O, has come through De Yer H.. Warner, and in this particu- lar that gentlemen, to whom Provi- dence in it's wisdom seems to have in trusted the destinies of the Republi- can party in Bridgeport, may De deemed to have done all that could be reasonably expected in a single work of equalizing taxes.
 There should be no murmuring be- cause these increases have been made. Ths manufacturers of Bridgeport ought not to desire that the HOMES of Bridgeport should bear unfair tax burdens. Bridgeport is grateful for her manufacturers. Custom, more than. themselves is to blame for the tax system as it existed. But Bridgeport in return gives much. None need fear that a fair tax will interfere with the growth of manu- factures. Nor will manufactures run away from Bridgeport because a fair tax is levied.
 Taxation returns value received. and manufacturers know it. More over there are few places in the Unit ed States to which any property can now go and be guaranteed, for any length of time, freedom from hon est taxation.
 The agitation that has been con ducted in Bridgeport is a type of az itation pretty general throughout the United States.
 Some places are behind Bridgeport, some are ahead of Bridgeport, but the thing moves and big property everywhere is being compelled to take on the tax responsibilities that belong to it.
