LEeIsLAToRs, MILEAeE

Governor Baldwin has before him the question of mileage for the rep EesentatiVes to the general assembly. Because of discoveries which he made she old system which has been in vogue for years, of having the state loot the travel account of the rep resentatives had to be stopped. The proposition now is to amend the char ters of the common carriers of pas sengers and require that they furnish free of charge transportation to the members. It is this bill which has passed both the house and the sen ate. What Governor Baldwin will do with and what he ought to do with it hnay or may not coincide.
 It is unquestionabIy the obligation of the state to meet the expenses of those who have been elected to make up the general assmbIy. It is a step backward when d commonwealth un- dertakes to force a corpora tien te pay part of the expenses of it's leg lglature. It is against good govern ment and places the state under di- Feet obligation to the railroads and it Is the legislature which has the say as to how that obligation shall be met Much railroad legislation is sought at each session and it should be free from any entangling consideration. Other states have found it a detriment to proper legislation. Connecticut should pay the railroad fares and if the past method Is illegal it is incumbent upon the legislature to enact legislation which will relieve the situation. Gov ornor Baldwin should point the way

coRBIN's APPOINTMENT.

There is reason to commend the ac- ton of Governor Baldwin in the choice of Tax Commissioner Corbin for re- appointment and while it may be but natural in the general clamor for the that the democrats in the senate are inclined to set up opposition. The naming of MT. Corbin for the retention ef the office is a recognition not of bis politics. but of his meritorious work in the office. He has given so hluch time and attention to the duties and possibilities of the office that his services are of a most valuable nature, an aid to every city and town in the state.
 To the office ATr. Corbin has brought a greater fnteresIt than existed before his incumbency. He has stirred up greater interest in the towns upon the question of taxation and in his ses- sions with the officials Throughout the state has not only advanced many val uable ideas. but he has gotten hold of the practices and the situations as they exist. Through that and the study of the problems for the general benefit of the taxation question in the state he has been alert and active and filled the office in a manner which has done justice to if. For such efficiency the seeing of his duty and his appIi- cation to it Connecticut deserves to hold him in office. to profit from his get-at itiveness which is known and appreciated in every corner of the state.

BUSINESS AT PORTS.

How much better the foreign trade of this country. as to imports and ex- ports, is being distributed among the ports is evidenced by the tables of the trade of the country by ports as pre-
 pared by the bureau of commerce and
 labor. A large amount of this is due te the increase which has takeE place in the commerce but the fact that it is showing large increases is an indica- ton that ali sections of the country
 are benefiting frem the activity, a fact which is necessary for the best results.
 The business which is being done by
 the Atlantic ports shows an increase, exports, but it is the gulf ports, the ports which show the greatest gain. It is to these that large amount of business is going to come through the opening of the canal and the activity
 which western Canada is showing so that while the Atlantic ports showed an increase of eighty per cent. in the past decade, the northern border ports one hundred per cent. the Pacific ports 120 per cent. and the gulf ports two hundred per cent. there is reason to believe that with proper consideration this encouraging showing is going to be maintained if not surpassed in the next decade. While the coast ports show this interesting gain it is also a fact that interior ports numbering twenty or more show large gains in imports. Ports are important to every state and their value should not be undereSt Stimated.

FIRST MAKE SIRE

Mir. Taft fully realized the neces- sity of careful and studied action on the part of the new administration. when at the close of his term he sent several messages to congress concern ing the independence of the Philip pines. How determined some of the democrats are that early independence shall be granted the islands is fndi- cated by the position which Secretary Bryan takes in that direction, when he urges there be no delay in setting a date when such independence shall be effective. President Wilson shares the view of his predecessor. there is reason to believe, in urging the avoid ance of "anything which might make necessary stuItifieation of the word of the United States when the time set had arrived, or which might prove the occasion for profound regret
 The independence of the islands is due when they are able to govern themselves and are in position to understand the responsibility which that implies. They are manifestlv not in that condition today, however fast they are progressing. We have a duty to perform there which cannot be left half done and be just to the Ffiipinos and to ourselves. Those who are thor oughly acquainted with the situation and view the situation impartiatiy up- hold the position of the past, Giving independenve to the Philippines now would simply be abandonment and the opening up of the islands to reyo1tt. tfonary outbreaks and the preyins ,f other land seeking powers, Tine pres fdent's policy of first making sure is a wise one.

NO SYMPATHY HERE.

RevoilItionists have caused no end of trouble in the Latin American coun- tries by their constant trouble mak- ing. Not only have their activities been of much annoyance to the re- spective countries, but they have caused no little anxiety to this country, from which they had hoped for recognition or intervention. or political recogni- ton in their own countries. The de claratfon by the present administration gives no encoura cement for sympathy from this country. It is plain and to the point.
 While the Central and South Amer jean countries are referred to the New York Herald thinks Mexico can well be considered within the lines in it's observance that it is '-clear and dis tinct notice to those gentlemen that they can expect no sympathy. Co., operation between the United States and her sister republics is possible only when supported at every turn by the orderly processes of just gov ernment based upon law, not upon ar bitrary or irregular force.
 The United States will lend its in ffuence of every kind to the realiza- ton of these principles in fact and in practice Knowing that disorder, per son intrigue and defiance of constftu- tiOnal rights weaken and discredit gov ernment and injure none so much as the people who are unfortunate enough to have their common affairs so taint- ed and disturbed. we can have no sym pathy with those who seek to seize the power of government to advance their own personal interests or am bitions'"
 There was no reason to believe that the change of administration would bring about any change of attitude to revolutionists- They have always been frowned upon here and they aI- ways should be.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Double Enders.

MT. Editor: A paragraph ill your paper states that a woman has in vented stocking with a foot on either end. This is an improvement on the stocking with a foot on neither end but how much is it better than q stocking with a foot on each end, or a stocking with a foot on both ends :? A stocking with foot on both ends would have four points in it's favor and in case of a pair of stockings, might be called a quadruped but, could two pairs be properly called an octopus It is piouS consideration for @ man that when one heel gets holey he'll only need to reverse and not darn the stocking, but, with foot on either end, how is he to put his foot into the darned stocking? If the darned heel raised blister on a mans heel how could he heal the heel? Or, on removing the darned stocking, would he have any re dress from the inven- tress? Must he hobble (skirt) on one bare foot until the un-heeIed heel gets healed? It seems to me MT. Editor, that a suit for damages to life and limb would hold against the woman when her double enders prove a fail ure, and if it is not up to her to make good-we give it up.

 With these two postulates in mind the problem can be solved mentally. In this ease the profit, 1o-per cent, and the expense. 22 per cent, both to come out of the retail price, make 32 per cent. from the 100, and leaves the number 6s to figure with. instead of 7s as A. M. B. starts with. and the simple equation then stands:
 AS 6S equals 100; s1.0e equals s1.47. The proof is easy, for if s1.47 be discounted 32 per cent. the original $1.o0 is forthcoming to make the next purchase with, whereas, if the article were sold for $1.41 he would only have a little over 95 cents left for that pur- pose or to place in his till.
