How To Make A
State Tax Free
(The American Economic Leasue)

(The American Economic League)
William Seymour Edwards, Repub-
lican National Committeeman from
West Virginia, has progressive ideas.
He has plan to free the citizens of
his state from payment of taxes. He
would have the state acquire by pur-
chase the forests and water power
within its boundaries, together with
all coal, gas and oil bearing lands.
The rent of these lands he figures
would be ample to pay governmental
expenses, and he presents figures to
prove it:
In 1910 taxes levied for state pur-
pose in West Virginia on real estate
on personal property amounted to
1901 ,197, and for roads and schools
amounted to $4J835, 687, or a total of
81, 1866 For county and municipal
purposes taxes were "a, lilo 1896, max
ing the complete total $9,456JaS0. If
the State had owned the coal mines
and received thea same royalties from
operators as private owners, it would
have received in 1911 from $5,403, 518
to St, 578s 3O8. On oil lands it would
have received $1.O0O.OOO. Water pow
er, Mr.. Edwards figures, is capable
Of yielding $S0,O00,OO0 to $6O,OOO,-
900 yearly revenue, and the forests
from $50, 900, 900 to $5O,OOO,O0O. So the
State would be at no loss for revenue.
That the idea is not impractical Mr..
Edwards hows by reference to the
conservation policy of the Federal and
Of number of State Governments. In
Canada, he says, all coal lands belong
either to the Dominion or provincial
governments, and are leased out. In
Australasia he shows the same. In
Russia, Burma, Austria and Roulua-
mia, he points to government owned
oil and gas lands. There is clearly
nothing utopian about the suggestion.
The State could exercise it's right OF
O@AAAA-OAA1 0VA4AeAA4S GS00OuuO OWAO1 6Atp VI
these resources and pay the owners
with Understanding bonds. That
would let present owners draw in IN
terest what they now get in rent, but
the State would get all future in
crease.
However, Mr.. Edwards makes one
mistake, and that is serious one.
His plan, it is true, would allow taxes
to be abolished, but it would substitute
for them high rents. Since he would
leave in possession Of private land
lords all lands other than the re.
sources mentioned, the users of ihase
privately owned lands would be COM
PEELED to pay in higher rents all that
they would save from abolition Of
taxes.
Mr.. Edwards apparently sees "his

 Thieving at New London.
 Local men who were at New London for the boat races had a skif that was tied to their big motor boat stolen during the night as they slumbered peaceful in the cabin. From some in quiries made about the water front they gathered that it would not be surprising if somebody stole the new state pier some night.

 Although the common council has not adopted such a rule for parking automobiles in the business section, it has been noted with interest by many that car owners are following the suggestion of leaving their cars standing at an angle of approximately 45 degrees with the curb lines.

THE NEW INDUSTRY.
Substantial Character of Company Se-
 cured Through Chamber of Com nnerce,


 Julius Price, of the Eclipse Manu- featuring Co., now of Boston and Phil adelphia, was in town Tuesday morn ing making arrangements for open ing the factory on Truesdell street, recently acquired through the Cham Der of Commerce. MT. Price, and his partner, Garfield L. Charlton, have each been here several times, and looked over all available buildings and sites. They were prepared to build on the old Pine Tree Worsted Ioca- ton; but finally chose the shoe shop of w. $. Johnson, as this will give them a chance to open earlier. They have given a bond for the deed and made their first deposit. Meantime a lawyer is searching the title, and a surveyor is verifying the lines.
 The purchase includes 129 feet on the north side of Truesdell street, and extends from the old Truesden prop erty east to a line ten feet to the east of the main building of the shoe shop. but not including the store house which lies still further to the east. The store houses to the west of the main building are included. The land runs back to the north 116 feet It is expected that the deed will be deliv- cred in the course of a few days.
 MT. Price made arrangements with some local workmen to paint and al- ter the building at once. The gas
 
 ing, as much of this fuel is used in pressing. The machinery will be driv- en by electricity.
 The Eclipse Manufacturing Co. makes ladies suits and coats, using woolens and worsted goods. Most of the work Is on machines and is done by girls. Help of this character will be sought here, as the work is repre- sented to be pleasant, not too heavy. and well paid. An instructor has been hired, who will move here soon The partners will continue to live in Bos- ton for the present About a dozen workmen, mostly if not all married, will move here from Boston, to do the more highly skilled portions of the work. It is planned to begin with about fifty hands, and increase grad ually.
 The company has long been of the opinion tht a smaller city, well located and with good transportation facilities would offer better conditions for the garment trade. They searched out a number of such cities. and paid wis its to them, going over the various advantages with great care. One of the partners telephoned to Putnam and was put in touch with the Cham Der of Commerce officers. He asked no favors nor inducements, but mere ly information and guidance. He found that freight from Putnam to New York York Is as quick as express, and that nearly the same is true in other directions as this is one of the eight transfer points for the whole New Haven system. He found the cost of living low, and the conditions of liv- ing good. He found labor troubles conspicuous by their entire absence. He found a helpful spirit of cOopera- tton and welcome from everyone he met. He expressed himself as well satisfied with the prospects, and con hdent of a successful industry for Putnam

There is a good market in Spain for laundry soap. The soap that is man ufactured in Spain by the natives is made from the refuse of olive pressings and this soap is soft and it's use for laundry purposes is wasteful.
