SOME CONSOLATION

Those violently opposed to the pres
ent political status Of women-those
who believe that they should never
have been given the right to vote or
any other rights formerly the sole pos
sessions of men, may derive some COM
! fort from the fact that their changed
position will bring about an increased
revenue of something like 100000 to
the city. .
About $4,000 women and 5000
men are on the personal tax list Were
all to pay their tax the income would
be $50, 600. Last year the list was about
$4,000 men. The amount collected was
approximately 100000, showing loss
of about $4,000 caused by avoidance
of payment or departure from the city
of many of those thus taxed. The same
proportionate loss may be expected IN
the future and it is for this reason the
amount which it is estimated will
come 10 lHG CITY lloill Iiiio oot'i w WIZ
be about $50, o00-a gain of 100000
due to the fact that the former word
ing of the law, namely "all male per-
sons" has been changed to all per
sons" in describing those liable for
this personal tax.
1t might be expected that the total
of the tax collected would be sWeled
this year by Just the number of Wo-
en- added to the list, minus those who
esca ped payment This would be true
were it not for the fact that more than
. GOO men are estimated to have left
the city SINCE the former personal tax
list was made up. Some of these men
have been replaced by others coming
in. but the places of others still are
taken by women on the lists. thus
the taxes to be paid by the women
will go partially toward the sums
formerly paid by men. Men and wom-
an are treated alike in this matter OF
personal tax. The women sought the
privilege of equality; the men have
granted 1.-THE city benefits at least in

SOLDIER NlINIORIAIk,

which are shafts placed in memory Of
those men from New Britain who died
IN the service of their country-our
country-is a spot which cannot fail
to impress all hut the most unthink-
Ing of men and women, Every effort
to keep fresh and bright the memoria Is
there will meet with general approval
as long as the idea OF the honor be-
slowed upon the memory of the soldier
dead remains there in tangible express
sion.
At this time of the years it seems
especially fitting that there should be
conceived a new plan for keeping alive
the thought the those men whom we
