What Is To Be
 he Outcome 0f CoWIes MulidIe ]?
Has He Been Illegally Re. moved and If So Is He to
 Stay As Head Farmer?

Will a charter provision keep Merle CoW1es at Isakeview Home as its SUI perintendent until further action of the Board of Charities, will he Become head farmer. or will he retire to man age a big estate at Fairfield? Tnese are questions which are being mooted about the city today.
 There is faction which strong ngly recommends the contesting Of the re- cent vote upon the grounds that it is contrary to the city charter (revised9 which in section IS. 1907 reads as fol- lows: At all meetings Of each of said boards three members exclusive of the mayor shall constitute quo rum. and the active concurrent vote Of three members shall be necessary for the transaction of all business. =
 It is alleged that at the meeting at which Gowfes was removed from of7fce there were but four votes cast, one for Miller, one for Cowles and two for Dr. Macdonald It is further reported that Mayor Wilson in defiance of the charter provision declared the action of the board valid
 That cowIes himself has taken no steps to seek his own holdover until the following meeting Is asserted by his friends. When asked about the matter today he declined to discuss the matter in any way, denying, how ever, the report that he was to take charge of the Sturges estate in Fair field as had been rumored
 It is hinted that owing to his knowI- edge of farming and farm affairs as well as his close connection with the city government he might be retained as head farmer at Lakeview at the next meeting of the board President F. H. sBehrens later declared that he was not aware of any such intention.

SCOTS BACK ING HOME RUL FRS Regard Irish Bill as Latch key for Their Own
 Scheme ARRAYED AGAINST
 IRELAND DIVIDED Leader of League Here Says Ulster Is
 Blufing

New York. March 24-.Scottish Home Rulers regard the Irish bill as the Iatchkey to scheme of seif-goverrl- ment of themselves, and 50 of course they consider it absolutely essential That Ireland. shall be one and iI1- di1dsib1e. and therefore that Ulster come into line with the first local parliament to be created under an extended liberal scheme said Mss Marion Smith at her home, 4SO Central Park West, this morning. MISS smith, who is honorary president of the International Scots Home Rule League and corresponding secretary of the Scottish Home Rule Association oL New York sat surrounded by letters and papers from scotland. Even now
 Miss smith refuses to believe that the situation in Ireland is as critical as it seems She insists with others that it is largely a bluff
 You get only Tory news in your papers heFe,'s she continueds and the canny Scot sees that the real root of the trouble is the desire on the part of the Tories to overthroW the Liberal governn1erlt and repeal the Parliament act. They have been just as iHsistept before and just as threatening ass for instance. at the time Of the church siisestablishment bill--but what did they ever really do2
 s<Sc0I2G land to have Home Rule Then when she is safely out of our way we can work for Home Rule for Scotlands which we all desire greatly.
 Then Miss Smith exhibited two ca- diagrams " hich she had just received Thomas Lochhead, general secretary of all the Young Scots Societies which numbers thousands of members in Scotland, read: Young Scotsa oppose exclusion hope and expect bill to pass unchanged. Ireland a nations
 The other from Councillor as- J Robertson of Edinburgh. secretary ef the InternationaI Scots Home Rule League. read: Scottish Home Rulers support one Parliament in all Ireland; look to Irish nation to hack up Par1ia- ment for Scotland. 2
 s'IJ lster is just 2 means tosan end with the Tories, continued Miss Smith. If they can get the Orange men to rebel and carry it so far that a few are killed in a struggle wi tn the
 military forces, ther of course, there will be great osltery ih EzngIand. they may be able to over throw the government and posfppne the Hoznss Rule biIl It.s asdesperate game they
 what disturbs Che Scotch people parttcularly is that hey are drag ging religion into the question, The crafty Tories are inspiring he bfgoted Orange1nen with the fear of Catholic power; they are simply using religion as tool with which to work upon their fnfoIerant and narTow minds.
 sIt Is only a minority light anyvva y, ?. concluded Miss Smith, A majority of Ulstermen want Home Rule. The UIster leaders Of the anti-EzoIne Rule campaign are old men. 50 old that 'it doesn't seem natural for them tu do anything but sit at their fresides with their pipes.

 ant to come with familiarity.
 ssIt represents. however, a good deal Of careful thought and practical e4- perienee. It is pretty well adapted when fairly studied, and so fairly understood to get at the facts We all want the other man to pay his full taxes and he wants us to pay -inquisitorial in locking up taxable per-
 IT prophecy that this new tax list will bring out large amount of per sonal property that the assessors and boards of relief have not got hold Of heretofore. It will help also to eaua1ize taxes as between towns and so leave less surprises for the state board of republication to spring on us That is a. very important point to con- sider because we have got to make up our minds as a. people that a. heavier state tax must be laid in 1915 and succeeding years than was laid in 1918, # the state would keep her credit good and her financial policy a fair one.
 .sIt is not a fair financial policy to spend as we did this last year three and one-haIf millions on good roads and borrow it on long bonds for pos terity to pay Posterity will not see the state-id roads that we are build ing when the bonds come due and they are bonds which posterity will be called upon to meet. The grades and cuttings on the roads will last. Everything else will have disappear ed and been renewed very likely re- newed twice over
 s.Tha people of Connecticut will come to see this and have either smaller state highway appropriations or neav- fer state taxes. Heavier state taxes will emphasize the duty of assessing local taxpayers at a fair rate and not discriminating against some by assess ing one kind of property at a higher valuation than other kinds unless 1t Is really worth more.
 You, gentlemen, have a heavy re- sponsibflfty here and the state as a whole will call you good and faith fuI servants if you discharge it as the law provides
 At the afternoon session there were addresses by W o. Finley. state for ester, w. A. Lewis. of Bridgeport. on work of the board Of relief: Calvin Wilcox. Lisbon. Ga, on taxation in smaller towns: Charles T. Treadway of Bristol and Charles Cheney, of Manchester, on taxation of manufac- turing corporations.
