We have not a sin gle newspaper with and all our work must be done by personal solici- tation, but remember that last year we started without a voter while this next election we will have 35,000 voters to start witTa.''
 Dr. George F. Pentecost made a, lengthy and eloquent address in which he declared that big business was in control of the other two great pol1ti- cal parties and that it had enslaved the nation. He sad:
 For nearly 100 years before the Civil War this country was in the grip of a, slave oligarchy. It is now in the grip of another slave oligarchy that enslaves not black men but white men and women alike. It extends from the great lakes to the gulf of Mexico and from ocean to ocean. Its weight lies on every man, woman and child of the common people. The slave o11garchy refer to is what is known as big business. It is gradually laying hold on all the industrial wealth of the nation. The first thing it did was to enslave the national government and for 30 years no measure has been passed in Congress except in the in terest of big business. To change this should be the purpose of the Pro gressives- The work lies before us and believe we have the moral cour- age to carry it out.''

Assessors Resent
 Criticism Made Al Progressive Meeting

"A man that can sit down and pick out individual flaws in the ass essrnert Of city the size of Bridgeport is not to be considered as a just or reliable critic.'' said Frank J. Hughes, presi- dent of the Board of Assessors, this morning when his attention was call ed to statements last night attributed to Ferdinand Fox of the local Pro- gressive party.
 MT. Hughes, backed by the corrobor- alive statements of Assessor Gill call ed attention to the fact that Bridge port was a most rapidly growing city and that values changed very quickly, in fact more quickly than readjust- nents and equalization could be effect ed without the addition of an expens- i've and probably unnecessary staff of executives.
 During the last four years. sai5 l member of the Board, assessments :n this city have increased over S2O OoO- 00O and before full equalization of taxes can bc effected it will probably take three years.
 The city of Cleveland, which had a rapid growth decided that a special force should be put to work to expe- d1te the same work that is now being done in Bridgeport. It cost that city $120 000, said President Hughes, and should the citizens desire the same thing done here it will cost about ESQ.,
 
 necessary.
 While 1t is comparatively easy for any citizen to pick individual flaws in valuations; especially where the equal ization board have not yet been able to consider the property, and where no block maps have been prepared, just criticism would obtain only where a large section was affected. The city Of Newark, N. J., which is considered the best example of taxation in the country today, has been at work upon that subject since 1876, and 1t was not until last year that final adjustments were made.
 It was further stated that criticism as to the valuation of farm lands and ur improved property was spacious in it's logic as under the present system where large tracks are cut up for di- vision and Improvement, no credit is given tu the original owner on his own assessment until at least one-half of the original property has been sold. Therefore his assessment remains the same until such a time as material im- proven1ent is made and other general improvements stimulated.
 Criticism is sometimes made that valuation of individual pieces of prop ecty has been increased and that as easements are not adequate said As sessor Gill. Investigation often proves that a certain piece of property or strip of land Is extremely valuable to certain individual, more valuable to one, in fact than to the average per son. This is considered by some as a argument for increased assessments. It is not legitimate argument, how ever, as the value is s-hctitious and does not tend to improve adjoining proper ty. Where. however, this demand for property becomes general and sales are recorded generally at higher figure | the call for higher assessment should obtain.
