CORPORATIONS PAY
 $I,637,230 IN NEW; STATE INCOME TAX
Two Per Cent. Levy Indi- , cates Total Profit of More
 Than $8O,OOO,OOO.

Hartford. July 5-The returns from the new income tax levied on corpora tions by the state are now complete and they show a revenue from this new source of s1,637,230.45.
 There were 2,750 corporations that paid the tax and there were l1,767 that reported no profits on which to be taxed. Besides these there were on record in the state secretary's of flee about 1000 corporations that either were exempt from this tax or had given notice of dissolution or filed certificates of withdrawal from cor porate operations of this state with branches elsewhere paid only on their Connecticut profits and concerns of other states with branches here paid also on what was earned here.
 The tax of per cent, netting $1.- indicates total profit of fifty times that amount or $S1,861,- 522.5O. Of course this differed in- calculably as the size of the corpora tions themselves differs and the ex- tent, of their business. The statisti- clan who wants to estimate can fig ure it out that the average profit of the corporations that made money was about $30,000. Including those that did not make any money to be taxed on, the average profit was about $20,- 900. This last. however. is only a "calculation." as the companies are not related.
 The chief fact is that this revenue of almost million and three-quarters is new to the state and has come out of concerns that have been prosper ous and whose managers proposed the tax to the legislature.

Too Quiet; Here, He
 Starts to Shoot Up New York; Is Jailed

 Peter H. Buckley, an employe Of the Remington-U. M. C. Company Of this city thought Bridgeport was too SLOW for proper celebration of the Fourtn. Putting about 800 blank cartridges in his pocket with a good sized revolver he, hiked for New York on the first train. Hardly had he landed at tho l25th street station when his celebra- tion began. At the first shot from his revolver the sbig throng in the depot melted ands coincidently several clubs in the handsAof police faded Buckley's s thinking powers.
 The next chapter was written in the station house where Buckley came to enough to hear his bail set at $5OO for violating the Sullivan law forbid ding possession of deadly weapon. Buckley gave his address as 935 Bar mum avenue which is the address of the plant here.
 Buckley's offense may be mitiRated

FIRE STILL RAGING.

Portland, Me, July 5-The fire which commenced here at o'clock, last evening, has completely swept through the city from the foot of High street to North street or Nun Joy, destroying everything in it's track 50 completely that the lines of the streets can hardly be traced. and a space of one and half miles long by a quarter of mile wide, appears like a forest of chfmnies. with fragments of walls attached to them.
 The flames were whipped by gale from the south and though many buildings were blown up to check the flames, the inhabitants had to fiee to the upper portions of the city with what goods they, could carry.

THE FARMER: JULY 5, 1916

the shuffle as it were, when the Co., lumbus raid by Villa bandits directed the Government to it's obvious duty. Congressmen who opposed any consid- erable increase in the land forces of the military establishment began to
 'hear from home and change their point of view.
 Thousands of telegramS and letters dumped on their desks each day con- vinced them their constituents were in favor of the sort of preparedness urged by the President. Then the Democratic obstructionists changed not only their viewpoint but their policy as well. They rallied to the sup port of the President, revised and lift ed the estimates of the Republicans and thereby deprived them of most important political issue.
 From that time the Republicans were placed on the defensive, and from championing the recommenda- tions of the President centred their at tack on them. They accused the Democrats of going too far they are still doing so.
 Not the least important of the Dem ocratic undertakings in the line of preparedness has been the readiness of the leaders of the party to provide the money to pay for the increased ex- pense of it. There will be required to meet this increase approximately $217, 100000 more year. The Ways and Means Committee of the House has prepared a bill which will yield this amount without compelling bond issue.
 According to Secretary of the Trea- sury McAdoo the Government is in a healthier financial condition than in any previous period for eight years. He says there is an ample supply of money on hand to take care of the prospective needs of the Government during the coming year.

EPIsOoPAL CONVENTION.

The Convention of the Protestant Episeopai Church for the diosese or tConnecticut, met in this city on We'd nesday; morning service was held In Trinity church, at which the Rev. MT.
 iBurhans of Newtown, ofictated. After
 lthe service, the Right Rev. Bishop
 ifIobart delivered a very eloquent ser
 Imon. on the divinity and humanity of
 lthe Saviour; this discourse was truly
 fable, eloquent and evangelical. An
 tordination was held after the cere-
 imony. and the Rev. MT. Cranston of
 tGeorgia, was ordained to the order of
 kPriests. The Bishop, at the same
 ftime. gave an impressive and lucid
 }exposition of the doctrines of the
 lEpiscopal Church, on the subject of
 1.-the Christian ministry. We under
 istand the Bishop will make a tour
 through the state. and visit most of
 Ethe churches in this diocess, before he returns to New York.

 '. Died-In Washington City, on the 11th inst Col. Tubias Lear, accdunt- ant of the War Department. His pri- tvate life was exemplary, and he had hlled various public stations, under successive administrations. with de- served reputation. He put a period f'to his life by shooting himself in his garden. Insanity. 1t is conjectured, l.occasioned this melancholy.
 About the 1st, a British deserter from Kingston passed through Sac fkett's Harbor, and was soon pursued lby three armed English officers, who overlook and secured him at Hunder- ! son. While the officers were con ducting their prisoner back to Kings ton, number of ship carpenters and bother citizens of Sackett's Harbor in 1! terfered and effected his escape.
