MIR. GOODSELL EXPLAINS TAX
 DIST. AREAS
First District Originally Stood A1one-Second Dis trict Set Off to Enable It
 to Have Special Privileges

Hon. ZaImon GoodselI was asked to- day by a representative of the Far mer as to his opinion in regard to the ! First and Second districts tax contro- versy. He replied:
 i '"The First district represents all property lying within the boundary l limits of Bridgeport. For the running expenses of this
 entire property, there is laid about 1 seven mill tax.
 l Now standardization of popula ton in
 certain sections of this First district
 originally asked the voters. of the
 whole district to define cer, ain prop erty lines for this congested section,
 for which privileges they agreed to re- lieve so much of the property not in cfuded in this over populated district , from extra taxation which was for fire, police and other necessary protec- cost and expense would not be need ed in the outlying and sparsely Inpu- lated districts for many years to come,
 EThis being so, in computing the actual increased expenses of the Sec ond district, you can only add for such increased expenses the amount expended for special privileges, for which all property owners living in the Second district were perfectly vii ing to be assessed an additional eight mill tax.
 s'Those parties claiming such enor- nous increased expenditures of the Second over the First district, have certainly forgotten to deduct from these extra expenditures the original seven mill tax, which Cove"s all prop erty alike in both districts. This wou materially reduce their enlarged estimates of present cost to the Sec ond district, which is about eight mills.
 ''The Second district is simply getting what it asked the voters of the First district to grant them, and primar- fly were perfectly willing to pay for the same.
 There may be inequalities in the distribution of these combined taxes, but MT. White, in planning new methods of bookkeeping for Bridge port will probably rectify the same"

Danger Of Money Trust Outlined To

 Whether calmI judicial, pains taking. non-partisan investigation can be undertaken on the eve of a Presi- dential election, is for you to deter mine. As resu of the recent con solidations of our industrial and rail- road corporations, the control of the finances of these corporations has drifted into the hands of few groups of men in New York city.
 These have been able to build up and dominate most of the great banks and trust companies in tie city of New York and to influence the use of the vast deposits for the enterprises in which they are interested or which they approve.

 financial institutions.
 Under existing conditions, indepen- dent railroad construction is at an end in this country except to the ex- tent that it may be- sanctioned ny these interests. Competition against any trust or industrial corporation for which they are sponsors, is also irn- possible. Their notifications are so endless that sources of credit are not to be found for any new enterprise that conflicts with their plans. There in lies the greatest danger of the trust.
 This same power connects the New York Stock Exchange and New York Clearing association, both of which are beyond judicial and executive con trol.
