Detailed Statement is Only Fair.

MT. Editor: William A. Aiken's let ter in your issue of pril Il on the gas and ai electrical n4 gal department fails to state that MT. Bogue was also gas and electrical commissioner. This must have been an oversight as past rec ords of the department show that MT. Rogue received a salary of $1.500 a year. Inasmuch the commissioners were not supposed to receive any com pensation for their services, Mir. BogIIe must have been very important member I do rot know just what his business record was before he became a gas and electrical commissioner.
 I feel, as do great many others, that it would be no more than fair to the people, who own the plant, if the commissioners would publish a detail- ed statement, showing the money re- ceived. and what it has been spent for, and who got it. How long, Mir. Editor. would the people stand for it. if they did not receive detailed report from the selectmen. court of common council, of the business done by them? Not a great while. I venture
 And now. Mir. Editor, don't you think it would show a spirit of fairness to the taxpayers in the building trade if they had share of the work. or at least be given @ chance to estimate on the work to be done, and not confine all the p1ums lu one basket: and, with due regard for Mir. Bogue and his rela- tives,. don't you think the stockholders would like a chance? Of course, there is no politics in it: that Is assured by the simple fact that ex-Mayor Thayer conceived the plan of municipal own ership of gas and electricity. but he has passed down and out. It was known that he had no use for anything that was tainted with politics.
 There is one thing certain, we are in the municipal gas and electrical busi- ness, and we have got to pay the freight. Mayor Murphy says it IS worth 00.000. I don't know where he gets his figures. If this Is so, I do not understand where his kick comes in. I for one would like to see the inventory that shows this valuation, as I understand when the city took the plant over the old gas company stock was one-half water and the bonds all water
 It looks at the present time as if the city bought a lot of junk and it is up to the citizens to make it good, and i not spend a whole lot of wind criticis- l ing the commissioners for trying to l make something out of practically l

FIXING THE INCOME TAX.

In the preparation of the income tax bill the democrats have jum at it as their salvation after the pro- posed cut in the tariff. It promises, instead of being a measure which would be available if needed. to be put into extensive practice for the purpose of bolstering up the tariff changes which will wipe out a large part of the revenue necessary for the running of the government.
 Before the measure is finally shaped indications point to not a little de- bate upon it's provisions, and in the view taken by the Baltimore Sun. '-The hottest fight will rage about the exemption figure, which has been set at $4,00O. There is a very large body of respectable opinion which holds that that figure is too high. that it so limits the number of contributors as to make it class legislation of a vicious sort and that it will encour- age extravagance in congress by en- abling that body easily to raise rev enues that will be collected from politically uninfiuential class. On the other hand, it is argued, a lower ex- emption one that makes contributors of a large section of the people will insure economy, for then. by reason of their numbers, the income taxpay- CTS will form an influential class
 The democrats have no reason to depend upon the income tax for the encouragement of expenditures. They better keep them down to the proper basis and cut the tax accordingly in stead of raising the tax for the ben eft of the pork barrel

STATE NEEDS IT.

The favorable report of the com establishing a farm for inebriates in this state should receive like consi0- eration from both the committee on appropriations and the legislature. I; is one of the important institution which is needed for bettering eondi- tions and helping that class of people who are otherwise a detriment to themselves as well as the community. It is also in the interest of reliev- ing the insane institutions of the state from the care of such cases. which can be given the special treatment needed a d proposed farm, and leave the insane hospitals free for the care of those for whom the institutions were tahlished. Such relief would permit the receiving of necessary early attention by mild cases of insanity, which otherwise must wait.
 4 farm for inebriates is by no means an experiment It's value has been given practical demonstration, not onis- by states but by counties. Many are the municipal courts which would ap- preciate such an institution as a plafe for the commitment of those round- CTS who spend the greater part of their time in the courtroom and the jail, getting their living off other pco- pie and without the inclination CT will to better their own condition.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Citizenship.

MT. Editor: The women of Norwich may be interested to see what a great writer. Herbert Spencer, says of Git izenship:
 Citizenship does not include only the giving of votes. It includes also certain serious responsibilities. But if so. there cannot be equality of cit izenship unless along with the share of good, there goes the share of evil. To call that equality of citizenship under which some have their powers gratis, while others pay for their powers by undertaking risks, is ab- surd
 Now men-whatever political powers they may in any case possess-are at the same time severally liable to the loss of liberty, to the privation and occa sionally to the death-consequent on having to defend the country; and if women-along with the same po- litfcal powers. have not the same lia,- bilities their position is not one of equality, but one of supremacy. Un less, therefore, women furnish sub stitutes to the army and navy. such as men furnish, it is manifest that eth ically considered the question of the equal political rights so-called, of wo- men, cannot be entertained until there is reached a, state of permanent peace."

Honeymoon House was aglow with pink candle light and the warmth Of friendship Laughter mingled with the clink of punch cups as the twelve guests arose to toast their genial hostess, and to wish her bon voyage on her prospective trip to the con tinent
 There was a trenaor in her voice as wishes of her guests. Honeymoon House had in turn harbored four of the couples during the embarkation onto the sea of matrimony. Being childless herself Mrs. Smith took es- pecial interest in young people who were making their own way in life.
 James Sutcliffe rose. ITO the next couple who occupy Honeymoon House! he said.
 There was a hearty response and a burst of merriment as all eyes cen tered on the speaker. Out of the laughter the hosts voice arose.
 Its up to you and Reta-you are the only eligibles for the position" he toasted with eyes that embraced, a discomfited couple.
 A blank look came into Reta Eliot's face as she glanced 1t MT. Thomas
 You know very well. Ted that Jim my Sutcliffe and I are far too busy in our individual pursuits to entertain the thought of matrimony."

THE BANK SITUATION.

A combination of unfortunate cir cumstances has thrown two of Nor wich's financial institutions into trou- bIe, condition which may only prove temporary but in which faith has been suppianted by distrust through the shaking of confidence resulting from the intermingling of certain bus mess relations. Whether directly in terested or not, everyone deplores the situation.
 When State Bank Commissioner Lippitt advises the people of Norwich ito keep calm and not lose their heads" it is wise counsel, from a source of authority which should be carefully weighed and thoughtfully considered. It Is evident that the in terests of the depositors, are being fully looked after and there is no req son for the situation to involve any others than the two concerned.
 It Is not only the unqualified opfn- ion of one of Norwichs leading bank men, but it is fact that every bank which Is doing business in Norwich today is sound. absolutely without criticism. and deserving of the un- shaken faith which has always been accorded them. That the banks will maintain this position is certain. but there is q duty which the people should perform in upholding this. for it is in large measure to their cool and sensible attitude that any excitable action can be the quickest checked, or prevented.
 The situation calls for the exercise of good judgment. There is no reason for rash or unwarranted action.

SAFETY AT SEA.

Not alone the Titanic disaster which has already had a powerful effect upon improvement in the betterment of steamship regulations on the high seas, but the constant and appalling loss of life and vessels which the past tive years have witnessed on the wa ter, have called particular attention to the need of exerting every effort quirements which will help to over of what has been done within the past year has resulted from the efforts of the steamship companies to better their own facilities and comply with the apparent need for safety appli- ances.
 That there should be further eff fort in this direction on the part of legislation, with a view to taking up the recommendations as embodied in the report of the Investigating com mittees is necessary and particularly is this action needed by the coun tries of large maritime interests. It is valuable advice which is given by Secretary Redfeld of the department of commerce in urging this country to send its strongest advisory com mittee to England to participate in the international conference for the pur- pose of adopting regulations and rules to govern the vessels of all nations and which would virtually become interna- tional law. Valuable protection is to be gained thus by steamships as well as the travelling public and it is only what has long been needed.

ATTACKING VICE.

Widespread is the knowledge of the efforts for reform which have been made by Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth and her accomplishments have Asen remarkable. It is therefore with much consideration that her opinion on the reform movement is received She knows whereof she speaks and convic- tion goes with her masterly presen- tation of word pictures on the frailty of humanity and it's remedy.
 There are many sides and viewpoints to the solution of the enormous prob lem of vice. It is receiving extra con sideration at this time in a greater effort to check it but the opinion of Mrs. Booth is that legislation is not the sole avenue through which this can be accomplished. She declares You can never stamp out vice en- tirely, and you can never help It by driving the women into the streets" It is in such a position that Mrs. Booth finds the greatest opportunity for her work for her contention is that it is personal interest which is going to help in the forsaking of vice for better modes of living.
 In the enaeavor to overthrow evil there is need for attacks from all df- rections There is unQues tfonab1y great good to be accomplished through Mrs. Booths method of attack. It rings with sacrifice and the greatest desire to do good and will serve te dc large share of the work in help ing along the stupendous task Of eradicating vice.
