TREAY AcrloN

Whatever action the senate is go- ing to take upon the peace treaty bids fair to be decided in accord with the action taken upon the famous article ten. Just at the present time efforts are being made to secure enough supporters for compromise on that articit to assure it's adoption by a two-thir1s ote. The1s being possible, and if the claims are cor rect there are but one or two votes lacking, it ought to require but a short time to dispose of this. docu- ment in the senate.
 Apparently taeIe e is lnefded uncer- tainty among the democrats as to what they dare do, but with some who have been previously recorded as fav- bring the reservations now alligned with those who are against them and those who have previously beer tetotally opposed to them now giver as favorably disposed, it indicate. that there is a certainty for any great length of time. Whatever move is made to get certain ones into line i. sufficient to alienate those who hay, previously been satisfied. It is thu! quite evident that it is as much of problem to keep the senators in lin, as 1t is to get them there and the tasl of those who are endeavoring to ge | ratification with reservations whicl will safeguard the country can be ap preciated as being na cinch
 1 The conferences, and the delay necessary to bring compromising eff forts to bear, indicate that some, pro
 gress is bsing made. They hkewis

CHAIRMAN PAYNE's VIEWS

In connection with the disposition of the merchant vessels now owned by the government Chairman Payne of the shipping board has expressed his views to the senate commerce committed, and there cannot fail to be deep interest taken in which he be- lieves should be done and. what should not, even the future course may not exactly jibe herewith.
 Chairman Payne, having been se- lected as a member of the cabinet, is about to conclude his duties with the shipping board but his knowl- edge of the situation cannot fail to be given weight consideration in determ- hing what the actual steps are going to be in the way of legislation for distributing the great number ot ships now in the hands of the gov ernment.
 He believes that they should be dis posed of, but he does noto believe that they should be sacrificed or the amount invested therein wasted This is to be gathered from the fact that he opposes government owner. ship and the position he takes wher he says Private, interests can dt many things in developing a business

ENDING TROLLEY SERVICE

Curtailnent and abandonment of trolley service is being experienced in many sections of the country. Not only has service been stopped but the equipment is actually being sold. It Is such facts that bring those who have placed so much reliance upon trolley service and those who have not to a realization of what it is go- ing to mean to be deprived of it. Somehow in the past the impression has prevailed that trolley roads could stand all kinds of conditions because of the large profits they made If that was the case it cer- tainly is not so today, and yet it is difficult to bring about conviction to that effect in many minds unti the wires are being taken down, the rails ripped up and the equipment tuhked or sold to other companies | simply causes the reflection tha those who desire the service mus pay for what they get or they vii not be able to get it. It cannot b, expected that trolley companies ar going to continue to operate car when such operation means a con stant loss. Only the generous phi ianthropist can do business unde those conditions.
 Eastern Connecticut has been great ly helped by the expansion of it trolley lines. At present there is n likelihood of any extensions, but O. the other hand some of that which W have had seems likely to be take away. It is an unfortunatee situa ton but there appears to be no al formative unless patrons of such line Ire willing to respond so that tn ines can at least break even.
 But conditions here are no differen han in eastern Massachusetts wher since September s200,O00 has bee lost in the operation of the Hyd Park lines out of Boston and the an nouncement has been made that SCI vice on those lines will be stoppe The practice of giving something ft nothing isn't being generally obser1 ed these days regardless of the line business involved

THE COAL REPORTS

When President Wilson named the commission to, review the facts in the case of the bituminous miners, following their decision to return to work at an increase of 14 per cent. until a final decision was reached; representatives of the min CTS, operators and public were named and the aim was to get, a unanimous decision. The commission has heard the case and they have not reached a unanimous decision though it is ap parent to them that further deliber- ation is useless.
 The majority of the committee, the representatives of the public and the operators, recommend an increase of 25 per cent. in, wages. while the miners member stands out for S5 per cent. In one case it is a trifie less than half the original demand and in the other trif1e over and should compromise be affected by splitting the difference it would mean That plainly shows that the original demand was not justified. The re- commendation of the miners repre- 1 sentative plainly indicates that while the representative of the public does mt consider that a half of what was l demanded should be awarded.
 What the outcome will be will be determined largely by what step the president takes next. The miners 1T some instances have declared the ma. l jority award will not be accepted
 Had the majority favored them the!
 would in all probability have ex- pected such a decision to be carried
 out.
 But whatever is the outcome it i plainly evident that the consumer i

 increase under which the miners re
 turned the operators were to bear tn :. burden of the higher wage of 14 pc

 eleven per cent. above that. Jus
 what portion of that further increas , which seems likely to be awarded wi be passed along to the public will b eagerly awaited. That it will all b |, is not improbable and of course wit . a different fuel administration it
 possible that even more will be as $ sessed against the consumer. Ger ? tainly it can be expected if the fins

SIMS, NEW CHARGES

Admiral Sims continues to make charges that border on the sensational and they have to do with something more than the awarding of medals. That they must get serious consider ation is assured by their nature. Heretofore We have been informed that he was told not to put too much confidence in the British our ally, which either indicated d-that we could mt trust them or else it was intended to be regarded as a warning against any personal inclination. If it was the latter it is difficult to understand why Admiral Sims was selected for that particular service.
 But now we are told that after he had been selected for the work he performed during the war, and for which reason exists for awarding him a distinguished service medal there was failure on the part of the navy department to follow his sug- gestions and advice. There were steps which he believed ought to have been taken by the navy which was not done and there are conditions dealing with his relations to the de- partment 10 ad which lead him to be- lieve that our navy was ready to mee It's duty three months after the en. trance of the country into the war.
 When Admiral Sims declares tha if his urgent recommendations ha6 been followed the war would hav been ended much quicker, that a hal million lives would have been savet and that a half million lives woult have been saved and that two and half million tons of shipping woul, not have been lost he undoubtedl, bases such claims on the loses tha occurred between the time he believe a bigger participation on the part o our navy in knocking out the U boats and the end of the war. Hi advice was of course based upon in formation to which he had specia access and which he was there to ge Whatever there is back of thes charges should be fully substantiatet We ought at least to know the fact and whether any conditions not know to Admiral Sims, as reason for nc complying with his recommendation were as weighty as considered

Does Not Prove Point

MT. Editor: Once more I come, but fear it will do little good for those who do not care to see, as there is none so blind as those who won't see. But in answer to R. Nj W.s let ter of the 10th. will say that there is not one thing in any of the scrip tural verses she gave to prove her point of spiritism as it is understood by her and others, concerning the spirits of our dead friends or rela- lives.
 God, hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit, for the spirit searcheth all things. 1 Cor. 2:s-12. Surely there is the spirit of truth, and we who love the truth, and study the truth Gods word) have that spirit manifest in us. And the Spirit of | spirit is given to) every man to profit | Spirit and ye shall not fulhll the lusts of the flesh, Col. 5:16.
 Ye are not in the flesh but in the | spirit. If so be that the Spirit Of
 God dwell in you. Rom. S:s. Be ye | filled with the Spirit, Eph. 5:1S-2o. Ye

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Gas and Electric Plant.

MT. Editor: Taxpayer in his letter in your paper of March 12 speaks of the late Hon Charles F. Thayer as speaking at board of trade meeting of taxless city in the future. Let us quote his exact words from an ad- dress to the court of common coun- cil, Dec. 3, 1900: On this occasion 1 desire once again to place myself on record as favoring municipal own ership of public utilities because 1. believe this is the most direct means of raising the city from the ditch into which it has fallen. My dream of the twentieth century is a city without a tax list and without a tax payer. If municipal control of wa ter and gas and electricity and tele- phone and street railway systems will return to the municipality a net income sufficient to pay all the eX penses of the city government, tax ation would be unnecessary and why should not the municipality take such control? Accomplish, this and you can solve all other problems.
 The taxpayers sustained his dream by voting to go into municipal own l ership of gas and electricity and present conditions show what can be done in that line of public utility in 1 about twenty years and the only | thing lacking at the present time in 1 his dream is municipal ownership of the street railways. A little later he was reelected mayor by over 800 ma ! jority in a normal republican city ot | 800 majority on the Stony Brook | water question. And today he lies out in Maplewood cemetery practic- ally forgotten by the public that SC | generously followed his leadership until they went dry and we all re- member the city meeting when all l respect for the dignity of the office of mayor of the city of Norwich wa: thrown aside and he was roundly abused for the ills that resulted iron his leadership of municipal affairs backed up at that time by the public And the only thing that remains afte 20 years is the record of his theor! printed in the records of the court 0 common council, his name engravet on the granite tablet at Stony Brool reservoir, which he so bitterly op
 posed and the gas and electric plant
 The taxpayers voted to buy the ga

In order to cover the icy path in the yard his mother gave him a pan of ashes and a shovel and directed him what to do. Soon after she noticed that he was spreading the ashes, going each time over the slippery path she wanted covered. and putting them on the ice but in the wrong place.

INCOME TAX FACTS
 YOU SHOULD KNOW
The Partners Income Tax.

Individuals carrying on business in partnership or as a personal service corporation are taxable personally upon their distributable shares of the net income of such firm, whether act .uaIly distributed or not. The firm must file an annual return on Form 1oS5, showing how the net profit or loss was computed, and how distriba table among the members.
 The partnership or personal service corporation will not pay income tax directly. Each partner or member must determine his personal liability for a return and a tax.
 Any salary drawn is taxable, but he Is not taxable on withdrawals of cap- ital If he had any income from other sources. aside from the firm, these items must be considered in determin- ing liability and preparing return. | If the firms accounting period diff fers from the calendar year. the mem bers must consider as 1919 income the earnings of the business year ending in 1919, and they must each compute the tax according to instructions on Form 104o.
 Returns and payments must reach the Collector of Internal Revenue by March Is. 1920.
