Connecticut Law
 Called An Insult
South Carolina Legislature Worked up Over Embargo
 on is S'ate Bends
MOVE MADE TO RETALIATE
House Rejects This Action, However Trouble Arises Over Clause
 in Bank Laws.

Columbia, s. C., Jan. 29-The Gen. eraI Assembly of South Carolina has { been considerably wrought up the past week over certain laws upon the statute books of the State of Connec- ticut concerning savings bank invest ments. These laws prohibited Con- necticut savings banks from investing in South Carolina bonds. State. coun- ty and municipal, and on the fIoor of the lower house on Friday these Connecticut laws were denounced as an insult to the State of South Caro- lima.
 The storm began when. in his an nual report, F. H. Master, insurance commissioner, called the attention of the Legis ature to the Connecticut laws prohibiting investments in Sou h Carolina securi les. He said such laws were insulting. As a result of the report a bill was introduced providing that the State of South Carolina re- taliate by adopting a similar law in regard to ConE Eecticut securities. This bill was unfavorably reported from the committee and rejected by the House.
 Representative Meares introduced
 "That committee. consisting of one Senator who shall be appointed by the president of the Sena'e, and
  pointed by the Speaker of the House, be appointed to n'emorialize the State of Connecticut and such otner States as have similar statutes, protesting against the maintenance on their stat ute books of laws discrimina ting against State, county and municipal bonds and other public securities of this State, on the grounds that said statutes are unjust fmputatfons upon the public promises to pay of this State, and are inconsistent win the cordial relations which should exist and be maintained between States Of the United States
 Representative Harrison protested against the adoption of the reso'ution on the ground that South Carolina that South Carolina could and should do businesS in itS own way and let Connecticut do business in its own way and go to the mischief, if it did not want to do business here. MT. Meares explained the significance of the resolution and why the resolution was offered, the bill to prohibit com panies from Connecticut doing Fusi- ness in this State having been killed. The House thought the bill too drastic and killed it.
 Representative K. P. Smith said if Connecticut did not of it's own accord repeal it's statutes against its banks investing in South Carolina securities that he would not ask that it be done. He would ask no one to do such a thing
 Representative McCravy thought the resolution ri9ht. Ire people of Con necticut were careful, and if they understood the real situation the present discriminating law would be rerealed.
 The House, however. was rot dis posed to ask any favors of Connecti- cut, and the resolution .was killed.

THE STOCK MARKET
CWatson Alners s CnN

CWatson, Alpers & Co.)
 It is by no means improbable that much of the stagnation in speculative markets is due to the continued tie up of hundreds of millions of secur- ities in the unopened vaults still bur jed in ruins of the Equitable Life building. But some of the boxes have been taken out with the securities intact, and each day brings nearer the time when all these securities will once again become the potent base of more active movement of cap ital In the meantime we are con fronted with the continued agitation of politicians and legislators, whose bark is likely to be more dangerous than their bite. Their pernicious in fIuence is offset by the strong balance of trade established by this country the liquidation at the West indicated by persis :ent flow of cash to this centre. the cheaper prices that assist in stimulating production, the depict ed stocks of merchandise and the banking-up of big deferred dems nd for goods. These favorable economic conditions must in time exert an in fluence. unless opposed by accidental developments, and because of them we believe that beneath all the sur face fluctuations of securities the un- dertone of confidence is strengthen inz-

Boston. Jan. 29-There is great legislative fight now in progress be- tween the New York, New Haven & Hartford road and the Grand Trunk railway, over the iatter's attempt to gain entrance Into the city of Boston A year ago William H. Cooledge, counsel for the New Haven road, told the ways and means committee that the New Haven road ''wou fight the Grand Trunk to the limit if it tries to come into Boston, The Grand Trunk Is trying to get into Boston and the New Haven from appear ances, is fighting to the limit.
 And it is one fight. The New Ba- ven holds the cards at the State House, but the constituents of the Senators and Representatives are flooding the State House with letters and petitions favoring the request of the Grand Trunk. Some of the let ters demand of the legislators that they grasp this opportunity to do more good for the commonwealth of Massa chusetts than has been done in many decades by any one vote" And this Is not all. for residents of Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Yer mont, are adding their pleas to those of Bay Staters that the Grand Trunk be allowed to come to Bos. on-

BIC ROUNDUP
 OF DEMOCRATS
Several Hundred Expected in New Haven to Form State
 Club Tomorrow
COMMITTEE MEETING ALSO
National Committeeman Cummings Quite Confident Over Democratic
 Outlook in State and Nation.

New Haven, Jan. 29-That Demo- cratic gathering at the Hotel Taft to- morrow afternoon for the purpose of forming a state democratic club prom ises to be some meeting. Every state committeeman has been asked to i'm vite to that meeting a number of the well-known democrats in his district and each committeeman has carried out that request The prospect now is that there will be several hundred democrats at the meeting, which will be held immediately after the state committee meeting scheduled for l o'clock. At the committee meeting n place and date for the holding of the state convention will be chosen.
 Homer s. Cummings of Stamford, the Connecticut member of the na- tional committee, will probably at- tend the state club meeting.
 eff the organization can be effect ed along proper lines he said yes terday, 'the club ought to be useful adjunct to the party. think that the steps taken in that direction are very wise and proper ones.'
 National Committeeman Cummings iJ quite confident over the democratic outlook both in the state and the na- ton. He says that, unless Gov. Bald win is candidate for some other higher office. he will be renOmina ted for thef governorship.
 And" MT. Cummings adds, "he ought to be, and in my mind will be, re-elected.''
 It was said in a republican news paper that the plan to oust Chairman Comstock and Secretary Thomas of the Democratic state committee was launched on the day of the Chamber of Commerce banquet. A Democrat said last night that was the one part of the yarn which was true, for the Republican state committee met on that day and the report came from that source.
 Tn so far as can he learned thare is no opposition to the two officers and in addition, a chairman and a secre- tary will not be elected until the state convention in the fall.

In the Board of Apportionment and Apportionment and Taxation should ever have been created with the pow ings-which means with the powers, duties and rights of the electors themselves-is unthinkable. That theor.r received a severe setback in Sullivan vs. City of Bridgeport, when the board attempted to set aside the ordinance relating to police pay, which had been adopted by the Com mon Council under it's charter pow CTS.
 The defects in city government will never be decreased by the multipIi- cation of boards and commissions, each of which is a law unto itself.
 The trouble with city government aside from the pulling and hauling of powerful private fnterest@is the divided responsibility and the lack Of an actual head analogous to the board of directors of a private cor poration. Control is divided among many autonomous bodies, nobody has authority over the whole, and the city is administered, not as a unit, but as if each of the departments of a modern department store were left independent of any central control.
 The city needs a board. with full administrative and executive author ity. But the Board of Apportion- ment and Taxation cannot be made such a body for the reason that it does not proceed from the stockhold- CTS of the city.
 MT. Hincks position is soundly taken. He directs attention at once to a condition and a need.

NO. REPORT OF TARIFF BOARD ON WOOL SHOWS HOW WOOL TAXES ROB AMERICAN HOMES

legislative birth were yesterday. and tariff abomination of the Payne-Ald- rich bill.
 His discussion of Schedule K-ths wool tariffs-is the most remarkable example of double political personal ity on record.
 He takes the Democratic majority to task for not putting WOOL on the free list.
 Now It happens that on Dec. 20, 1911. the Tariff Board. already re- ferred, to reported on Schedule K, saying among other things. this:
 The present duty of 33 cents per TIVE, preventing effectually the inn portation of clean, low priced foreign wools of the lower grades that if used might DISPLACE in a large measure the CHEAP SUBSTITUTES now employed in that industry. The present duty practically excludes
 low grade and medium cloth for mems wear.
 In short the duties of the Payne Aldrich bill are prohibitory and oper- ate not to raise revenuesfor the Amer ican governm ent, not merely to pro- tect American Wool Barons against foreign competition, but unable the Wool Barons to take inordinate prof it's from the American people. while paying to American labor such wages as are displayed in the reports of the woolen industrysin Lawrence and else where in Massachusetts.
 It is worthy of note that MT. Hills tariffs, according to the report of the Tariff Board, are almost invariably directed against the materials that go into the clothing worn by the masses of the people. On such goods the board finds a duty frequently IN FIX CESS OF THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE RAW MATERIAL IN THIS COUNTRY, which means that the American people are either largely deprived of good wool clothing, or compelled to pay excessive profits to the wool interest.
 The Democratic wool bill was an effort by the Democratic party to give the people cheaper clothing by heav- it's manufactures.
 This was such a measure of pro- tection as would equal the difference between the labor cost abroad and an this country. Such a tariff would keep out foreign goods o long as the Wool Barons should be satisfied with fair profit.
 It is quite true, as Mir. Hill charges that the Democratic majority is in 1uenced in tariff making by the necessity that all the members of the majority do not always agree upon the same tariff for the same thing, so that the resulting legislation is a compromise.
 The difference is in this. The Democratic majority is managing to revise the tariff downward, while MT. Hill and his friends constantly man. aged to revise it upward.
 MT. Hill is also correct when he says that the Democrats are infiu- enced in making tariffs by the neces, sity of obtaining revenue.
 The Congress lacks the power to lay an income tax. Until 1t gets that power it can accomplish only a little toward lifting the tax burdens some what from the shoulders of those least able to bear it to the backs of those most able. It can stop the exer- else of the public taxing power for the benefit of private persons.

The internal revenue taxes on spirituous and malt liquors and to- bacco are levied solely to raise reve- nue for the conduct of the govern nnent The method of raising is de- fective because 1t does net fall ac- ,cording to the ability of the citizen to pay a tax, but according to the quan- 4ity he consumes of the thing taxed.
 Tariff taxes have been levied with two objects in view. One object was to protect American industries, when necessary, from foreign competition.
 No such protection Is of course necessary on goods which can be made more cheaply in this country than abroad.
 Their second object was to obtain money to support the government
 For something like thirty years tariffs have been fixed in Congress, not with a view to the revenue they would produce, and not with the view of furnishing necessary protec- tion to home industries against com petition from abroad.
 They have been fixed by a system of give and take between various pro- tected interests. trusts and nlonopolies with the purpose of increasing the profits of private persons.
 Thus tarin taxation has come to be sa system In which the people have paid something for taxes on imports, which has actually gone into the coe- rers Of the government. and has been used to support the government. But in the multitude of cases the tariff tax has been made absolutely prohibitive. so that there were no imports under it Trusts and mono poIieS, freed from all risk of com petition with the world, have com bined to raise prices to an unparallei- led pointa Thug dtt1esAmerie4n people have been, and are being, taxed by the tariff for the benefit of private persons
 M For about twenty years the Amer ican people have observed with fear the growth of this gigantic system of pIundcr- @ The opposition to inordi- nate tariffs was not confined to the Derngeratie party, but became even more prevalent in the Republican party, with the result that the Re- publican national convention. in which MT. Taft was nominated. agreed to revise the tariff downward.
 The result was the Payne-Aldrich tarin bill, piece of tariff legislation SO monstrous that it caused the ex- puIsion of the Republican majority. the election of a Democratic House of Representatives, and precipitated an unexpected Socialist vote throughout the United States.
 Then. frightened by what they hal done, the leaders of the group of msn who had controlled Congress turned to the Tarih Board, which had been appointed by the president. and announced that the system in use for 50 many years could not produce a proper tariff.
 Men like MT. Hill-arch priests and supporters of tariffs for robbery only greeted the commission as the ark of their political salvation.
 The point of this admission being, as will readily be seen, that tariff taxation as operated by them never was controlled by knowledge, or wis dom.
 Now comes MT. Hill, in "The Story of the Sixty-second Congress- trying to begin with clean slate, as if his

STOLEN ARTICLES FOUND
Police Believe Dead Negro Was the
 Perpetrator of Many Robberes.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-In the effect of Jack the Shooter there has been found a bracelet belonging to Miss Kathryn Doyle. This bracelet was stolen some two years ago when the home of Miss Doyle was entered twice in succession and jewelry taken each time. The bracelet was of peculiar design and could not be easily forgotten by any, one after once being seen.
 The police believe that this conclu- sively proves that the dead negro is the one who had been operating in Little Rock for the past three years as the date coincides with that of the time of the arrival of the negro Brown in the city after being released from the Oklahoma penitentiary.
 This case is not the only one in which stolen goods have been found in the effects of Brown. Several vic tins have identified and recovered stolen property which had been mis, sing for some time and in some cases years.

Scientific management, like any other good thing, may be carried to excess"
 The speaker was R. Marriott Thompson. the San Francisco scienti- fic management expert. He continued, says the New York Tribune:
 We scientific managers mustn't go as far as Hustler went.
 "Hussler was the proprietor of a tremendous factory where scientific management had reduced the mo- tions of every hand from 800 to IT. Hustler attended a very fashionable wedding one day, wedding where the ceremony was performed by a bishop assisted by a dean and a canon, and in the most impressive part of the writ, Hustler, overcome by his scientific management ideas, rush. ed up to the altar and pushed the bishop and canon rude!y back.

STATE CAPITOL
 NEWS AND NOTES Committee From Penitentiary Board Investigates Death
 of Convict.
WARDEN HELD BLAMELESS
Prisoner Died From Effect of Over heating but He Had Received Proper
 and Immediate Attention.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-The committee sent out by the penitentiary board to in vestigate the death of convict who died in the camp of Warden Tinsley, located near Malvern, has rendered it's report and eXonerated Warden Tins ley from blame in connection with the death of the convict.
 Conditions in the camp were found to be sanitary and that the prisoners were not suffering for anything, the only recommendation of the committee being that the convicts should be al lowed to eat their noon meal in the shade.
 In the case of the dead convict it was found that he was Lee Edwards, convicted in Miller county and had only been in the camp a week before his death. He had been in jail sev- eral months before his conviction and was in no condition to stand hard labor or the hot sun. He was given only light duties to perform but it was soon noted that he was ill and he was SClI tQ lIlC C6iIl} LII llCelti4l1ilt' liS showed improvement next morning, and desired to go to work. He had been working only a short time before he had to be sent 10 the camp again to receive treatment. Tmmedicate medi- cal attention was given him but he died a few hours later from the effects of being overheated.
 The only fault to be found by the committee was with Warden Tinsley, who it is said expressed his opinions freely of cornor and coroner's juries,
 Since the committee who investi- gated the death of the convict Ed wards made it's report complaints have been made that investigation was not thorough and Secretary of State Earle Hodges has issued call for the entire penitentiary board to meet and visit Malvern in a body to make thorough examination.
