Among the most important recon-
mendations made by President Will.
son in his latest message to Congress
are those for changes in the present
income and profits taxes''t to, save the
taxpayer Inconvenience and expen-
&c." The President recommend to
the apeical session of Congress, last
May, that there be notifications aud
reductions in their taxes, but the
Republican majority Ignored his-sug.
.gestions and the public needs.
In his message to, the regular ses-
sion of Congress-, on December 2,
the President said:
81 trust that Congress will. give
it's immediate consideration to- the
problem of future taxation. Simpli.
fication of the income and profit
taxes has become an immediate ne
cessity. These taxes performed in
dispensible service during the war.
They must, however, be simpliied,
not only to ave the taxpayer ineon-
yenience and expense, but in order
that this liability may be made Ger.
tain and definite.
With reference to the details of
the Revenue Law, the secretary of
the treasury and the commissioner of
internal revenue will lay before you
for your consideration certain amend
1nents necessary or desirable in con
nection with the administration of
the INSTRUMENTATION which
have my approval and support. 1t is
of the utmost Importance that in
dealing with this matter the present
law should not be disturbed so far as
regards taxes for the calendar year
1920, payable in the calendar year
1921. The congress might well con.
slider whether the higher rates of in
come and profits taxes can in peace
times be effectively productive of re-
venue. and whether they may not. on
the contrary be destructive of bust
ness activity and productive of waste
and in%eficiency.
There is a point at which in peace
times high rates of income and pro
fit taxes discourage energy, remove
the incentive to new enterprise, en-.
courage extravagant expenditures anc
produce industrial %stagnation with
consequent unemployment and other
attendant evils

LOUIS BANNAY SHOT HIMSELF
 ACCIDENTALLY

While hunting with a friend in Weston yesterday, Louis Bannay, of Colorado avenue, met instant death when his rifle was accidentally dis charged and the full load of shot en- tered his breast. It is believed that Bannay, while climbing over a stone wall, rested his gun on the other side of the fence, and the trigger was pulled by a twig.
 In company with Alfred Nichols, of Trumbull, Bannay set out yesterday morning on a hunting expedidtion in the Weston woods. The two men sep arated, and a short time afterwards Nichols heard his conpanion's rife explode. He called to Bannay, but received no reply. Nichols then in vestigated ,and found the local man face down with a large hole in his breast Nichols notified the Weston authorities, and Medical Examiner pr. Gorham made an examination of the body, deciding that death was ac- cidental.
 Bannay was about 40 years of age, and was a member of the Elks. He Is survived by widow and two chill dren. For number of years he con- ducted a garage and restaurant in State street.

The first definite action was the recommendation to he town board of finance that the Durand jroperty in Broad street be purchased for community purposes The recommendation, however, did not meet with the approval of the board.

SUMNER CHAUTAUQUA

While Manager Lewis of the Chau-
Eta1qua D@ was, = in ygOroyiile last
week tentative contract was made
with the Commercial Club for five
days summer Chautauqua, to be held
either in July or August, the final
arrangements as to dates and attrac-
tions to be settled later. We believe
the town is fortunate in having the
promise of the class of attractions
that the Chautauqua people put on
the summer circuit. The summer en-
tertainments are made up of eXcep-
tional attractions, both in the way
of speakers of national reputation
and musical companies large in mem
bership and of exceptional merit. The
directors furnish tent of large seat
ing capacity and the performances
are given both in the afternoon and
evening. The guarantee is small.
This town has raised twice and thrice
the amounts asked for this treat for
a Fourth of July celebration, from
which was derived no special benefit
and too often left a bad taste in the
mouth. A Chautauqua summer festi-
val will draw people from all the sur
rounding country, for the reputation
of Chautauqua insures a feast of good
thinks of an instructive. elevating
and enjoyable character and this ap-
peas to all intelligent people.

4 GENTLE COMMENT

Manager Lewis, who was here last
week as managing agent for the
Chautauqua attractions. invited criti,
cisms 'and we propose to take him at
his word and register a mild scold
In the last issue this paper comment
ed very favorably upon the first three
events and so far as we have ascer-
tanned public opinion the praise be-
slowed met with general approval. 1t
is to be regretted that we do not feel
that the same commentator can be
extended to the last two attractions.
Far be it from us to reflect upon that
worthy and brave soldier, Sergt Glib
bons, and what is said is not intended
to detract from the personal worth of
a manly man who saw his duty and
was unafraid to offer himself to his
country, and while doing so suffered
as few men who passed through that
great war suffered. But Sergt. Glib
bons is undoubtedly a better soldier
than talker. While he carried a
message that should ring in the ears
of every man, woman and child that
they do not forget the innate brutal
ity of a race that deserved extermina-
ton as retribution for coarse and
savage cruelty, his delivery was any
thing but pleasing and he lacked uow-
er to paint his dramatic experiences in
the gripping imagery that neatly
rounded sentences would have con-
veyed to his auditors. 1t was a rlain
blunt story, by plain blunt man of
the horrors of war as conducted by
the Hun, and from the material an
orator could have painted a mental
picture that would have left a more
lasting impression upon those who
heard the narrative.
The last number was the most dis
appointing of the series, and especi-
ally disappointing as so much was
expected from the advance announce
ment on the programs distributed.
Some allowance must be made for
the failure of the Liberty Bellies to
come up to expectations. This COM
pany is, or was originally composed
Of five young lady musicians, instru-
mentalists and alleged vocalists. I'm
fortunately both for the young lady
and the troupe one of the members
was taken seriously i'll at Republic
and the Liberty Bellies, with very little
accent on the bellies, was reduced to
four, which was no doubt a serious
handicap to the party. The audience
expected to hear some orchestral mu-
sic, but another flaw developed. The
piano and clarinet were not tuned to
the same pitch and hence the instru-
mental music was confined to a
single selection, unless the clarinet
solo might be interpreted as instru-
| mental music. The humorous read

exceptionally good, but otherwise the
