is STRONG FOR TAFT

Some Roosevelt Sentiment.
Especial to The Bulletin

Washington, Uan. 30.-Richard ].
Goodman of Hartford, chairman of
tho republican town committee, spent
yesterday in this city and called on
the members of the delegation at the
capitol He said he was not down on
any political errand; he did not know
who would be nominated for congress
from the new First district; he said
he thought that Connecticut was for
Taft and he firmly believed that the
republicans would carry Hartford and
the state at the next election. Asked
il there was any Roosevelt sentiment
in Connecticut, he said Some but
in his opinion the time to talk any
one but Taft had passed and gone and
without a doubt Taft would be re-
nominated and elected.
Mr.. Goodwin called on Colonel Til
son and talked military affairs with
him. He left for home last night.

POLITICAL JuNkETlNc,

The ability of the politician to work
distressing and serious public condi-
lions to his own advantage is clearly
shown by the number of expensive in
vestigations which have been made
into the high cost of living in this
country by different legislative bodies.
And while prices have been going up
the people have been taxed a million
to study the situation without having
returned to them a report worth 80
cents.
The patriots of Massachusetts, got
$4,000 out of the state treasury two
years ago for the purpose of inquiring
as to the cost of high prices and did
report but found no sign of relief.
There is before the Massachusetts leg
islature now a bill proposing that a
committee Of eleven visit Great Brit
ain and Germany and study the work
mems compensation acts in those
countries An appropriation of $4,000
Is asked for TO pay the expenses of
the trip. This is an allowance of
more than $4,000 for each member.
In commenting upon this scheme to
Ht~~N NAN PNOPAVs AAS NFO4SSoLOl
zette says:
we hope the legislature WIN not
be hard hearted toward these good
petitioners. We never like to see
lot Of patriots turned down. Incl
dentally, we viii remark, however,
that a committee of the National Man
ufacturers' association has already
made such an investigation. and the
results have been made known. There
is no need for anybody to cross the
ocean to learn all that need be known
about the practical working Of the
workmen's compensation acts. How,
ever, we hope that no one will con-
clude that we are saying aught against
the time honored practice of junketing.
Legislators raised their salaries last
year Enjoying greater wealth, natuf-
ally they are prompted to travel and
spend it and the prompting is greater
for the reason that the state will be
expected TO pay the freight"

DEMOCRATIC ENTHUSIASM
AROUSED BY MAYOR MAHAN
State Convention Of Party to Be Held
at Bridgeport in May.

New Haven. Jan. 90.-The gathering
Of democrats here this afternoon to
organize a state democratic club and
to select Bridgeport and May 1 and
2 ss the place and time for the spring
convention, was said by many of them
to be one of the most enthusiastic in
years. When at the meeting of the
state central committee Senator Ma
hen of New London said that in every
town where a few democrats could
be gotten together a local club should
be formed, those present stood up and
cheered, and when minute later he
moved that the committee declare a
club organized there was more cheer
ing.
The state central committee invit-
ed Congressman Reilly to serve as
temporary chairman. The place of
tho convention in Bridgeport will be
selected later. 1t will probably be
in one of the theaters there A meet
ing of the Fairfield county democrats
win be called at once to secure
pledges of assistance so that the
Bridgeport members Of the commit
tee and the democratic town commit
tee will have plenty of help.
Representative Phillips of Stamford
said that as soon as the committee
voted to hold the convention in
Bridgeport he got into telephone COM
munication with prominent democrats
of Fairfield county and asked them to
start work in order to convince the
committee that Bridgeport is able to
take care of state convention. In
the committee Hartford withdrew It's
claim for the convention.
The committee adopted resolution
praising Governor Baldwin's admins
tration and going on record as favor
ing the presentation Of his name to
the democracy Of the country as a
candidate for the presidency.
The gathering Of democrats was
large, as many of them were here
last night at a dinner at which the
formation Of a state club was discuss
ed. The committee also took its first
steps towards reorganization of the
party machinery in the state made
necessary by the congressional re-dis-
tricting.

ROAD LAW IS HELD
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
IN AN OPINION DELIVERED BY
STATE SUPREME JUSTICE Will.
iIAMS.

Oklahoma City, Okla, June IL
| The road law passed by the Third
Legislature, providing for the crea-
tion of road districts, which should
issue bonds ior read improvement
purposes. and the levying of an aid
valorem tax upon the property of
the district to pay the interest and to
provide a sinking fund to take up the
bonds. was declared unconstitutional
by the state supreme court in an
opinion by Justice Williams.
The court holds that such an ar
rangement would be contrary to Sec
ton 8, article 10 of the constitution.
which provides that maximum ad va
lorem tax levy for all purposes shall
not exceed 81 1-2 mills and provides
further how it shall be apportioned
among the state, city, county, town
ship and school districts. 1t is held
that the law seeks to create new
political subdivision, not a county,
city, township or school district. and
not succeeding in the functions of
any OF them.
The court held thai the only way
in which work could be done by a
road district was on the benefit plan.
as in the case of drainage work, but |
that counties and townships could, |
continue to issue bonds for road i'm
provements as heretofore. The deci-
sion was given in the case of Clyde
Thompson ct al VS.. r. P. Rearick from
Caddo county, which is affirmed by
the court.
The supreme court refused to l.
clare itself superior to the criminal |
court ot-appeals, as urged by Attor-
rey Norman Haskell in the habGas
corpus case Of Tom Anderson and
others from Muskogee, stating that It
had been the settled policy of the
court to follow the construction Civ
en- to criminal statutes by the Grim
inal court of appeals and that the
same rule would apply to the determi.
nation Of the constitutionality OF 4
statute.
II is held that the statute Civ ,lg
superior courts jurisdiction in misde-
meanor cases is valid and writs of
habeas corpus were denied in the
cases where convictions for violating
the prohibitory laws were secured in
the superior court of Muskogee coun-
ty. That the supreme court has power
to grant temporary alimony in q d-
vorce case appealed to it, was the
ruling in case of Tony Kostachek
