GOV. BALDWIN'S
 CONTRIBUTION

The theme of Governor Baldwin's speech, last night, at his dinner to Democratic leaders was set to the tune of gratitude for deliverance from the small group of Republican ma chine men, who. representing certain great interests of the state, have at last been expelled from power
 That is indeed an occasion for re- soicing. But something further re- mains to be done. The lobby, scar red and broken. will probably reap- pear when the General Assembly con- venes. It should be received after such fashion as will prevent it's re- viva1 to its former state Of health.

POPULATION OF CONNECTICUT Composition and Characteristics of the
 Population

" upon present school facilities and school attendance, the percentage of iIEteracy is only 2.2.
 MARITAL CONDITION
 In the population Is years of age and over 39.3 per cent of the males are single and 33.6 per cent of the females The percentage married is 55.3 for males and 54.6 for females, and respectively The percentages of those reported divorced. o.3, and O.4, re- because of the probability that many divorced persons class themselves as single or widowed
 That the percentage single is small CT for women than for men is due largely to the fact that women marry younger. Thus 5.7 per cent of the fe- married. a compared with o.5 per cent of the males and S9.6 Der cent of the females from 20 to 24 years are married, as compared with 1855 per group, 25 to 34 years, the difference is not so great. the percentages being while in the age group of 35 to A, the difference practically disappears. That there is larger proportion of widows than of widowers may indicate that but since husbands are generally old- CT than their wives, the marriage rela- tlonship is more often broken by death of the husband than by death of the wife.
 For the main elements of the popu- lation the percentages of married per sons among those 15 years of age and over are as follows: Foreign born whites 63.2 for males and 662 for fe- males: native whites of native parent age 567 and 51.8, respectively; native whites of foreign or mixed parentage 99.4 and 42.9, respectively, negroes, 56.5 for males and 51.1 for females. These percentages by no means in dicate what is the relative tendency of the several classes as regards marri- age. To determine that, the compari- son should be made by age periods, since the proportion married in any class Is determined largely by the pro- DOT ton who have retached the marry ing age. Similarly. the proportion widowed depends largely on the pro- portion past middle life. The percent age married for females is slightly higher in rural than in urban com munitfes.
 DWELLINGS AND FAMILIES The total number of dwellings in Connecticut is 1s1, ,911, and the total number of families 246.659, there being 135.6 families to each 100 dwellings. 1 The average number, of, persons per dwelling is 6.1, and the average num- Der per family, 4.5.

THE INCOME TAX

me esteemed Bridgeport Telegram presents the views of the Hartford Post relative to the income tax. The Hartford Post is not orthodox upon this subject A better authority is the Democratic party. which for fifty years has included income tax Iegis- lation in it's national demands.
 The subject is really not worth ar guIng from any practical standpoint since the country has at last made up it's mind and the tax is about to be- come fact.
 Thirty-four states having already there is no question but that two more will, which will be enough. Con- necticut may be one of the other two needed.
 The Hartford Post is in error in as- suming that the income tax abroad IS confined to free trade nations.
 Great Britain has. it and is a free trade nation. but France. Germany. Belgium and Austria have it, and are protectionist nations.
 Nor is the income tax a means of dlsciplining the rich. It is a means of making the rich pay their share to the support of the Federal govern ment. which they do not now do
 The taxes raised by tariff and in- terna1 revenue are paid mainly by the poorer sort of people, and according to the consumption of the taxed ar ficles instead of according to ability to pay

Here is the Truth About the Proposed Debt For New Poor House Somebody
 Wants to Buy the Town Farm

During the discussion of the bond issue for new almshouse proposal that has defeated at the ballot box this newspaper suggested that hearts were bleeding for the poor than for somebody ground who looking with envious eyes rich land which the city and for town farm.
 It suggested by this newspaper that the sale of the almshouse and it's removal to another place, of reaching to the sale of the property pretty roundabout way of getting results and that bet ter way would have been fairly forward with the facts.
 The facts would then have consisted of statement to who it wants to buy and why the city should sell In such situation the matter might have been argued it's merits.
