CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION
To Be Held in Nashville Ianu-
aTy 25th---GeneraI { Call
To Attend.

Our state hasheld three Consti.
tutional Conventions, 1896, 1884
1870. Between the first and sec.
ond 38 years; between the second
and third SO years. Since the third
Convention adjourned 46 years
passed and still we have not held
another.
Thomas Jefferson said that a
Constitution needs revision about
once in each generation, and the
great state Of New York has held
two Constitutional Conventions
during the past 25 years, while
nearly every stateain the Union
has had a revision since ours.
Moreover, our Convention of 1870
was called mainly to deal with
issues growing out of the Civil
War. Hence, as q matter of fact,
we are living under a Constitu-
tion that was made from SO to 120
years ago. 1t fit perfectly a small
agricultural population, but no
man living could foresee the con-
ditions of today.
A year ago Governor Rye ap-
pointed q strong committee on
taxation. Its labors covered quite
q period Of time, during which,
the committee consulted and re-
ceived information from more
than one hundred and sixty or
ganizations, officials and citizens
of the state, representing almost
every county and certainly repre-
senting every class and every in
terest in the state. That commit
tee says: Anything like a COM
plete and thoroughly effective re-
form of our tax system cannot
now be obtained; and the chief
obstacle is the inflexible article
on taxation in the Constitution Of
1870" Quoting from an eminent
authority on taxation the commit
tee further says of our SYSTEM;
1T puts a premium on dishonesty
debauches the public conscience;
it reduces deception to a system
and makes science of knavery;
it presses hardest on those least
able to pay;it imposes double tax
alton on one man and grants en-
tire immunity to the next. The
report also says that capital flies
from any state where there is no
fixedness of taxes; that the prop
erty of widows and orphans is
more highly assessed in proper
tion to value than any other class
es of property; that we have dou-
BILE taxation on property, which a
Constitutional amendment alone
can cure; that we have absolutely
no uniformity in the assessment
of property from county to coun-
ty.
A new Constitution is great
advertisement to state, hence
aside from it's incalcuable benefit,
the adoption of a progressive up
to-date Constitution, which would
be discussed in every leading
and periodical of the
country, would be worth millions
of dollars to our state.
{ Every man in the state who is
interested in the subject is here
by extended a special invitation
to attend the Constitutional Con-
vention Conference at Nashville,
Jan. Is.

CALABRIANS SHOW
 AMERICAN SPIRIT
Judge Gaffney Stirs Italians With Pa triOtism in Speech at Banquet-Sen-
 ator Klett Also Gives Address.

Although the meeting had been ar ranged to commemorate the joining of the National Order Sons of Italy by the local Calabria society, the gather ing in Bardeck's hall yesterday was one of the grandest displays of pa triotism ever evinced by a body of foreign born men, speeches by Judge B. F. Gaffney and others striking the tone of patriotism in the hearts of the members assembled. Everything pa triotic was in evidence, decorations, music, etc. Mention of the incident of the previous day when the "bOys' marched away to camp was the signal for outbreaks of applause that shook the building.
 Introduced by Alderman Paonessa, Mayor Quigley was warmly received He said that he was not in sympathy with the class of people who do not feel that a foreigner is the equal of the ancestors of the Puritan stock. He made reference of the going away of the soldiers on Saturday, pointing out see them go.
 Always eloquent when functions of a similar character are favored by his y was at his best yesterday. Clear aud ible and delivering the kind of an ad- dress that touches the hearts of all patriotic citizens, the jurist, was many times interrupted during his re- marks while the Italians and guests joined in cheering his words to the echo. Judge Gaffney assured his list eners that his belief that the country fo froY ctI h o1 by the sight of the previous day. When men of all nationalities responded so nobly and quickly to the call for help, there is no better evidence of this, the speaker said. He said the names of many of the militiamen show Italian birth, and he was sure if the present crisis reached a more serious aspect, the members of La Calabria society would be found among the ranks of those fighting for the preservation of the United States of America.
 Another speaker who was afforded a warm welcome was Senator George w. Klett, introduced by Alderman Pa Onessa, as 'the man who worked 50 hard in the legislature to secure the setting aside of Columbus day as q legal holiday" Senator Klett's re- marks although brief, were we'll re- Ceived, and the high esteem in which he is held by local Italians was evinced in the applause that accompanied his remarks
 Prominent members of the order from various parts of the state were in attendance in large numbers, Meriden sending a big delegation. Grand State President Giovanni Turcio of New Haven presided at the business ses- sion.
 Among the other guests of the day were City Clerk A. L.. Thompson and Councilman l.. J. Arata

ECHO OF DUBLIN REVOLUTION.
Nephew of James Butler of Fremont
 Street Injured by Shell Fire.

An echo of the recent Irish rebel lion when the Sein Fein was put to rout after a week of severe fighting With the British troops in Dublin, comes to New Britain in a letter to James Butler of Fremont street from of this state, who has been living for many years in the Irish capital
 MT. Buffers nephew was employed in a grocery near the Dublin post of- flee, the scene of fierce fighting. The post office, as will be recalled, was occupied by the Sein Feiners and it took the British troops using modern artillery more than tWenty-four hours to shell them out. Young Butler was at work in the grocery with the proprietor and his fellow clerks when the bombardment started and before they realized that the grocery was un- der fire the place was swept by ma chine guns. The owner and all the clerks save Butler were killed by the opening fusilade. Though badly wounded he managed to crawl to the cellar and was taken to a hospital wearing his store apron. While he is still suffering from wounds the young man is now on the road to recovery. His letter tells graphically of condi- tions in Dublin at the time Of the trouble. Many aged people were killed outright from the shock of the heavy bOmbardment and scores of buildings were levelled by the artillery fire.

SUGAR SCARE REMEDIED,
Two Hundred Tons of American Pro-
 duct Aids Parisians.

Paris, June 26.-Two hundred tons Of American granulated sugar distrib- uted daily to retail grocers in Paris has relieved a tension that was be- coming acute. particularly because of the importance of sugar in the Frenchman's morning coffee.
 When the government recently in tervened and fixed a maximum retail selling price of one franc twenty cen times 8 kilogramme for sugar (eQuiv- alent to twelve cents a pound) stocks became invisible and the retail grocers began refusing to deliver sugar, that they had bought at one franc sixty centimes in the expectation of further rise. The housewives and cooks par ried the maneuvre by leaving on the grocer's counter the tea, coffee and other things they had bought. In case the grocer had been blufflng, he pro- duced the sugar rather than lost 8 customer.
 Now there is plenty of the granulat- ed to which Paris is unaccustomed, preferring the cut Jumps, but which is gaining in favor
 Simultaneously with the distribu- ton of granulated sugar, the authori- ties are moving against the wholesale Q6aleTS. A ponce .OTO1ndnco requires the declaration at police headquarters of all quantities of sugar held by any person or association of persons in excess of 500 pounds; it also warns all dealers that overlooking the official price, spreading of false reports about stocks and attempted combinations, pools, or cprners, shall be vigorously punished by fines of 500 francs min mum and 10, 900 francs maximum.
