GOVERNOR ISSUES
STATEMENT ON
CORBIN SITUATION

Governor Baldwin has authorized
the following statement relative to the
state tax commissionership. Cover
nor Baldwin's denomination of Com
missioner Corbin was followed by a
caucus of Democratic senators who
voted to reject the nomination. The
statement follows:
In exercising my powers of nomi-
mating for public offices I mean to
put the public interest always first.
am the governor, not of the Demo-
cratic party, but of the people of Con-
nectfcut. BY the viii of the whole
people as expressed in the constitu-
ton, I was elected, although I had
only about $4,000 votes of the total
votes for governor, which was 10000
in all. 1t was enough to elect me, and
had more votes than any other of
the six candidates. 1t seems very
probable that I got them because
those VINO voted for me were of the
opinion that I had pursued, on the
whole, the right course as governor in
my first term. 1t looks SO when it is
considered that I received several
thousand more votes than the Demo-
cratic presidential ticket got, and sew
era1 thousand more than any other of
the candidates on Democratic state
ticket got.
MY opinion as to appointing to
public office was very plainly made
ting in the best men after giving due
consideration to the claims for re-
appointment of whoever is at the
time holding the office, always re-
membering that if there are two men
equally fit the man of my party is
naturally entitled to the preference. 1
stand for the principle that the pre-
vailing party ought not necessarily to
monopo1ize every office, great and
small. The Republicans while in
power acted pretty strictly on the rule
that 'to the victors belong the spoils,'
without much regard to anything but
the party label which a man may
wear. The Democrats thought they
had pushed that rule too far; I be-
Iieve the people thought so when they
elected me. looked over the state
pretty carefully and took full time to
consider before I re-appointed Mr..
Corbin. I found no man in the state
whose qualifications for tax commits
sioner can bear comparison with those
of Mr.. Corbin- He has filled his Of
flee well; he has increased the tax
able resources of the state; he has
brought under taxation interests that
had escaped it; he has just reported
as one of the special commission on
taxation the plan of taxing our rail-
roads on their gross earnings, which,
If adopted, as it ought to be, will
probably give US nearly as much from
them next year as has been realized
this year, Notwithstanding the great
depreciation in the valuations of their
taxable property, which must be anti
cipated. He has not been contented
with trying to enforce the laws, he
has labored to improve them and has
done so with great good Judgment and
a wide acquaintance with economic
truths.
81 confess that do not see how
senators who believe all this to be
true of him can justify a vote against
his confirmation"
