The Taxation Commission.
Bridgeport Post. )

Governor Holcomb has named the
commissioner to investigate into the
taxation question in accordance with
the resolution passed by the last Cen
eral Assembly. His selections are
former Governor Simeon e. Baldwin,
Guy p. Miller of this city and Frank
H. Stadtmueller of West Hartford.
We wish the governor had Sc
lected differently, SO far as the head
of the commission is concerned With
former Governor Baldwin as the
chairman, the commission takes on an
extremely reatiohary aspect right off.
One has but to recall that during his
four years in Office Judge Baldwin
could recommend nothing better than
the unfair State tax as a means TO
raise revenue for the extravagances
he, allowed in political directions, to
understand tho position he is likely
to take.
With all the tax inequalities exist
ing, with that question the Issue of
the times, with a splendid report at
hand from a. commission headed by
Judge John J. Walsh, Governor Bald
win could not say word that would
relieve the small taxpayer. On the
contrary, he would pile on double
burdens, first by allowing enormous
expenditures for highways because
one class wanted them, and, second
by advising a great State tax to pay
the bills
In selecting Mr.. Miller as the rep
resentative of the manufacturing In
terests the governor could not have
done better, because Mr. Miller has
given the question of taxation from
that point of view a most thorough
study.
OF Mr.. Stadtmueller the state knows
little other than that he is classcd
as a farmer. He is well spoken of
by his neighbors In West Hartford,
and he may be acquainted with some
of the problems OF taxation. IL SO
he has succeeded i'm keeping his
knowledge well concealed. .t
The thing to be notd in the crea-
ton of the commission Is that IL is
dominated by man who believes that
the rights of public service corpora
lions are superior to those OF the
people as a whole. Can righteous
reform be advised by a mind held
in such bourbon bonds?

WHY WORKERS ASK
FOR WAR BONUSES
Because British Employers Are Reap
ing Exceptionally Large Profits In
stead of Suffering From Conflict.

(Corresponoence of the Associated Presso
London. June 4-The reason why
the workers who remain at their
places in British industries are asking
for war bonuses is explained by Sec
rotary Robert Williams Of the Ma
tional Transport Workers Federation
who says that while the real need of
the workers Is to meet the increased
cost of living, the employers are reap
ing exceptionally large profits, instead
Of suffering from the war. Although
$4,000 members of the Seamen's
Union have gone to the war, the mer-
chant ship owners are operating to
such advantage that they charge six
times the normal sums for carrying
freight. While 10000 trade unionists
altogether are bearing arfns in Brit
sin's defense, the nnillers have in
creased their profits four-fold.
In his case against the ship owners,
Williams points out that they now
have no serious competitors in the
carrying trade of the world, and that
as a result of the elimination of Ger
man ships, the freight rates between
Argentine and British ports had
jumped from 50 and a fraction a ton
to around SIT. Another instance of
profit to ship owners was that cer-
tain cargo steamer built in 1910 at a
cost of $4,000 was recently sold for
IL hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
an increase OF seventy-six per cent.
over the original price.
While the ship owners complain of
unfair treatment by the admiralty.
which has taken over many merchant
ships as transports, the arbitration
ttard which has settled disputes in
these matters consists almost entirely
OF ship owners At the time the board
was appointed shipping prospects
looked exceedingly dull and the
owners clamered for government SER
vice. A rental of nine snillings six
pence per ton gross register was de-
cided upon, with a discount of six
pence ton for vessels employed for
more than one month, and another
six pence off for vessels employed
more than two months. Since then
the ship owners have demanded not
only the shilling reduction be re-
moved but that they be given an in
crease of two shillings six pence over
the contract sca1e--or instead of
losing rs they have asked for an in
crease Of so.

How one community trains It's
children for the responsibilities Of cit
izenship is described in a bulletin Just
issued by the L. s. Bureau OF Educa-
tion on "Civic Education in Element
ary Schools as Illustrated in Indian
apolis +"
The practice In the Indianapolis
schools" says Arthur W. Dunn au-
thor Of the bulletin. "is to help the
pupil to understand the nature Of
his own community life, his depend
ence upon it, and his responsibility Tor
Il; to develop a right attitude toward
government as the means BY which
all members of the community may
cooperate for the common interest;
and to cultivate habits Of right ac-
tion as a member OF the community. +"
The bulletin emphasizes the fact
that "civics is not taught as a separ.
ate subject until the eighth grade,
but that civic education is a phase of
all the work Of the school The aim
seems to be to make of education, not
a process of instruction in a variety
OF subjects. but a process Of growth.
during which the various relations of
life are unfolded,'
incidentally It Is pointed out that
there is no subject of ethics OF
/ moral education in the indianapolis
schools. but the direct moral training
afforded by the course here outlined
, is peculiarly virile. So, also. while
there is no attempt to give direct vo-
cation training in the strict sense of
this term. nor even any organized
form Of vocational guidance. never
theless the fact is always taken INFO
Z account that the citizen must be a
worker and the worker a citizen"
Instruction through the course OF
study is. however only a part Of the
training for citizenship given in these
schools IAN understanding of COM
munty life and Of government" de-
clares Mr.. Dunn. lis fruitless with.
ont the cultivation of qualities and
habits Of good citizenship Instruc-
ton and training must go hand In
hand The latter is largely matter
OF practice" Pupil participation in
! school management is a very real
thing in Indianapolis. and in some
schools it is carried to a high degree
of effectiveness. 1t manifests itself
in the method Of preparing and con-
ductng recitations. In the care OF
school property; in protecting the
rights of younger children; in main
tanning the sanitary conditions of the
building and grounds; in beautifying
school grounds; in the making Of re-
pairs and equipment for "our school,
in fact, in every aspect Of the school
life.
