Wants Sheriff Gabb to Appoint Only
Democratic Deputies in
This City
This City

TO the victor belong the spoils' is

TIE spoils Of the last state election
when they elected their democrat can
didate for sheriff. The local demo-
cratic town committee wants County
Sheriff George Gabb to appoint only
democrats to serve as deputy sheriffs
in this city. Their contention is
based on the fact that the election Of
the democratic sheriff was won fairly
and therefore he should appoint to
ofhce those men who helped elect
him. There We're rumors that pro-
teges of the opposing party might be
rea ppointed in this city and that the
number of sheriffs might be increased
to three. In regard to appointing
democrats the town committee has
adopted the following:
I'VE, the united body of the demo-
cratic town committee, do hereby
enter protest against the appointment
of any member of any other party
to fill any one of the positions of
deputy sheriff within the district con-
trolled by the city of New Britain.
AS the contest for sheriff Of Hartford
county was. won fairly by the demo-
cratic party it is no more than fair
to make appointments from the
party; said party at the present time
having mighty good material and
plenty of it to choose from. Therefore,
be it resolved, that the above resolu-
ton be approved, adopted and signed
by members of the democratic town
committee Of the city Of New Britain
March Is, 1919, and copies be sent
the following: Hon. Augustine Lon

district; Hon. David FitzGerald

BANKS WELCOME
DEALERS PAPER.
Notes Accepted as Collat.
eral for Rediscount by
The Reserve Board.

There has been quite some misunder-
standing regarding the attitude of re-
serve banks towards commercial paper
of automobile dealers. In answer to
an inquiry from the National Auto
mobile Dealers Association, the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of St Louis has
shed much light upon this confusing
CHestion. 1t is pointed out that re-
serve banks consider the automobile
dealers note equally as good as that
OF any other commercial house. bas.ng
its acceptance. as might be expected,
upon the financial standing and credit
OF the dealer himself However. a
distinction is made between dealers
and finance or credit companies, and
herein lies the causf for most OF the
misunderstanding that has existed in
the past.
The Federal Reserve Board in one
OF its bulletins. clearly brings out this
point. II states that the Federal Re-
serve Act authorizes any Federal Re
serve Bank to discount a note or bill
drawn for an agricultural. industrial
or commercial purpose; that is, note
or bill. the proceeds of which have
been used or are to be used for such
purpose.
This stressing OF the essentially
commercial character OF note that
is to be accepted at a Reserve Bank
was emphasized by Congress when
the amendment to the Federal Re-
serve Act was passed expressly au-
thorizing Federal Reserve Banks to
discount the note OF member bank
when secured by eligible paper. As
the amendment was specifically limit
ed to notes OF member banks. 1t can
not be construed to authorize the re-
discounting of notes OF any sort OF
financial institution.
With the automobile dealer the case
is quite different. as the Reserve
Bank does not concern itself directly
with the dealers paper. When the

the car should be economical for the
expense Of such a vacation should be
kept down. That is one of the chief
est Joys under present-day prices.
"A good many bort owners have
tried this plan and liked It A good
many more have used their bort for

ONE MORE DAY FOR
WOMEN TO REGISTER
Not Eligible to Vote in Town Meeting
Unless They Re-register and Pay
Poll Tax of SO.

Today and tomorrow are the last
days on which women who desire to
vote at the town meetings may register,
thereby availing themselves of the priv
ilege which has been granted by the
Legislature.
All women who have registered here's
tofore will be required to do so again,
and to pay poll tax, before they will
be eligible to vote. The past two
years women have been allowed to vote
upon the payment of taxes, but the
law enacted at the last session of the
general assembly of Vermont requires
the payment of poll taxes, the same as
for male citizens.
Women between the ages of 81 and
20 are included in the act, the poll tax
being fixed at So, the same as that paid
by male citizens between the same
ages. Many women who had registered
in the past two years have thought that
| if their inventories were filed, the
same as last year, their names would
be placed on the check list, but finding
this is not the case they are taking
advantage of what time remains to re
register. thereby assuring their eligibil
! ity at the polls.
