BOOSTING NEW HAVEN

New Haven emerges from a period of audible reflection which has now endured for several days to find that everybody wants the next Democrat ic state convention to meet in Bridge port. The esteemed New Haven Un- ion suggests that New Haven is just as good place and advises some method for boosting New Haven as a convention city. The idea is good one. New Haven is really a very at tractive place, and when its merits become generally known conventions will seek it as spontaneously as they do Bridgeport.

GOV. TOSS PLANS TO GIVE MASSACHUSETTS
 THE BENEFITS OF RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION


 zovernbr Eugene T. Toss. in his an nual message. makes proposition which will commanG attention and respect. He demands that the con- stitutional power of the state be ip-. yoAed to dissolve the holding com pany under which the New Haven RaiItoad is enabled to control the Boston and Maine. This he favors as a condition necessarily precedent to the actual consolidation of the two roads and their physical connection He would have the people of Massa- chusetts make the connection and own it.

AND NOT JUDGES SHOULD BE SUPREME OVER
 CONSTITUTION MAKING IN STATE AND NATION


 Again has Roosevelt shown his ln- comparable ability to realize the di- rection of public sentiment and place himself abreast of great and strongly founded popular movements, with the inception of which he has had noth- ing to do and with the growth of which he has not even been in sym pathy. Compared with the sluggish and unadaptabIe Taft. the former president is a miracle of political un- derstanding.
 While Roosevelt advocates that the determination of the constitutionality Of laws should be with the people and not with the courts. Taft continues to compare judges with angels and oppose the bulk of his person and his office to the rushing stream of popu- lar Sovereignty.
 Yet two or three years ago his own opinions and Roosevelt's were alike as two peas. upon such demo- cratic Fundamentals as direct primar- ies. initiative and referendum, and recall of public servants. including judges.
 Roosevelt opposed the constitution of Oklahoma becan<e it embodied those features rnd the people of Oklahoma executed their will not withstanding.

.- (HarITOrQ Time
 Colonel Shepard, of congressional conventions scandal fame, is reported as being about to give a harmony dinner, all in furtherance of the or the throats of Republicans that which their stomachs will not receive. These gentlemen and their notorious po'iti- cal friends are standing on trap into the cellar. but they don't know it yet.''--Bridgeport Farmer.
 Our highly esteemed Bridgeport ment than genial in it's description of the hospitable intentions of the gallant colonel from Portland. The co onel is thorough believer in the harmonizing influence of a social time at a good dinner. He has had con siderable experience fin the. employ ment of political methods. and his toration of good fellowship between political associates who may be tenn porarily estranged,- and in smoothin 2 out the differences which keep fac tions apart to the idisa dvantage of their common party, is unbounded. If the colonel was ever inclined, to yield to the temptation to doubt the do to strengthen his faith was to re- call the harmonfzing feast given in New Haven nearly two years ago when he was chosen as the machine candidate for congress in the old Sec ond district to the disappointment of the friends of Governor Weeks. To be sure the sequel was not as pleas ant as the colonel and his friends wished. He secured the nomination, but not the election. He angered his rival Senator Frank s. Butterworth and the latter carried his discomfort to the polls.
 Colonel Shepard is not the only re- publican leader who believes in the political virtues of the dining table Chairman kenealy has also be- lief in the efficacy of dinners. He Is the author of the political method of bringing the local leaders of each sen- dinner table to talk of the situation in their towns and to- map out a plan of campaign.
 The chef is an indispensable per sonage in republican politics.

ernor Toss advocates public owner ship of wharves, and railroad terrnin : ais. especially ito secure the entrance of the great Canadian Trunk lines in to Boston.
 Anybody who will look into the leg islation under which the states of Massachusetts have permitted the New Haven system to make mergers and consSlidations.s will find such crimes of ignorant. or guilty. 1egis- lation as stagger belief.
 Especially may rererence be had to the act of 1907 under which the New Haven road merged into and be- came the Consolidated street railway company. under the name of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company, with all manner of bi- zare, unusual and even dangerous powers.
 And this merger having been com pleted the result is seen in hundreds of millions of securities upon which the public must pay profits, a monop- oly of transportation by trolley. and a service which is conducted with all the advantages of monopoly to the system and all the disadvantages of competition to the public.

democracy, but they put their will into their organic law. Taft compelI- ed the people of ArTzona to remove the recall of judges. but they will put 1t back again, the Democrats in that state having been elected to power upon their pledges to do so.
 Again we reiterate the often be fore expressed opinion that the most serious obstacle in the way of MT Taft's second term ambitions, is his opposition and hatred of all those measures by which the people of more than two-thirds of the states have sought to devise mechanisms through which the popular will may be made effective.
 Roosevelt comes late to his convic- ton that constitution making belongs to the people and not to the courts, but he Is at last in line with Lincoln, whom he quotes. and with Thomas Jefferson, whom he does not quote.

UNJUST TAXATION

The tax commissioner of Massachu- setts favors an immediate revision of the tax laws He says that the state is now imposing the heaviest bur dens upon "the poor. the helpless and the ignorant"
 The tax laws of Massachusetts pro mote equality of taxation much more extensively than those of Connecticut What is true in Massachusetts is more burdensomely true in this state. Homes and farms and the number sort of families pay the bulk of the cost of conducting government.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-01-06

The collectors were appointed to collect the personal tax. They have collected it. Financially the city Is upon the right side or the poll tax for the FIRST TIME in it's history.
 The poll tax is an injustice, but that is not the fault of the collectors. It is the fault of a type of men ignor- ant of, state craft who get into the General Assembly and devise extrava- gant plans for irritating the people.
 If Mayor Wilson wants to collect the tax. he shouldn't quarrel with the only mechanism by which it was ever collected.
 If he doesn't want to collect the tax let him say so, and be honest about it. D
 He can begin by Joining those who favor the repeal of the personal tax law.
 His alleged plan to have the Board of Apportionment withhold the sal aries of the collectors would only sub Ject the city to law suit which it could not win.
 This newspaper is opposed to the personal tax, as an unsclen1flc, un- just and costly method of raising pub lie funds. If Mayor Wilson is hou- estly determined to do away with this tax, he may be certain of the support of The Farmer for that pur- pose, but it is to be. feared that he fapors the tax. in the same measure that it is favored by some of those interests whose policies he has gen orally supported.
