 the interests of the islanders as he did in the previous case. even though the re- spective conditions under which he took control in Cuba and under which he would assume office in Manila are by no
 means the same.
 The governorship of the Philippines is one that calls for man of more than ordinary qualifications and there is no doubt but what General Wood would be
 regarded by the country as the man. who
 would fill the bill. Certainly he would l be one in whom the administration could have the utmost confidence. Genera Wood could have gone to the islands un-

PROGRESS ON TARIFF BILL.

In a manner which showed that party lines were not adhered to and that the last efforts of the president to whip the democrats into solid opposition were unsuccessful, the senate has reached 3 vote upon and passed the Fofdney tariff bill, a piece of legislation which has oc- cupied much of the time during the present session and over which there has been much difficulty in getting definite expression.
 Efforts to block the progress of the bill have resulted in the delaying of oth- CT important legislation. The purpose has apparently been to kill it by delay ing it, regardless of the effects that course has had in obstructing the other business and especially the appropriation bills.
 That the attitude of the president, as disclosed by Senator Underwood, to tht effect that he would apply, his veto 10 ths measure should it reach him, had iti effect in breaking down the opposition te

AN UNDERSTANDING REACHED,

To judge from the attendance at the special council meeting when the ques- ton of giving the gas and electrical com missioners authority to oppose the bill before the legislature placing municipal ly owned utilities under the supervision of the public utilities commission was given hearing our lighting plant is something in which large part of the citizens are more or less interested be- cause of conditions which prevail
 As the result of the discussion there appeared to be established the fact that not only does the city, through the mayor and council possess as much authority as the public utilities commission con corning the gas and electric commission but that the commission recognizes the authority and it is disclosed that the mayor and council intend to exercise it. This marks radical departure from the policy that tsa. been followed in the past when the commission has been censid- cred a law unto stself, due it would ap. pear to the fact that the mayor and coun- eil have not recognized Or seen fit to ex. ercise their authority in connection there. ' with
 The hearing demonstrated that it wal the sentiment of the people of this cit, that they ought to know something ahou the operating of their plant, that if ,i was impossible to get desired informa ton otherwise it would be advisable t, sanction the placing of the plant unde the supervision of the state commission but that they were prepared to accept tn recognition on the part of the city gov ernment and the gas and electrical com mission that the mayor and council ar able to get just as much information as would be available from the state com mission. and they will accordingly expec such policy will be followed in the flu ture.
 That the department hasn't the goo will of the public. as intimated at tn hearing, is due solely to the condition which the public has been made to tol crate and the difficulties in getting an information as to why they exist. IT formation that there has been OF is goin to be new leaf turned over will | gratifying to the community There wi be a-ehance now to demonstrate wheth, this matter of supervision by the stat commission has been definitely killed z far as Norwich's attitude is concerned whether it will get more support at al other time. The city will expect result in the way indicated at the hearing.

INCOME TAX FACTS
YeU SHOULD KsoW


 Many inquiries from newly yeds as to the amount of taxable income for the year 1920 are received by the bureau of internal revenue. In many eases both parties were employed up to the wedding date and the point op which advice is sought is whether the joint income, must be shown. The ruling of the bureau of Internal reypue is that if they were mar ried on or before December 31, 1s2o, 2 return must be made of their combined income if it equaled or, exceeded s2.eeo.
 Separate returns of income of each or a return of their combined income may be filed. If the net income of husband or wife exceeded $55,o0o, separate returns should be filed for the purpose of cor rectly computing the surtax which ap- plies only to income ln excess of that amount
 The newly weds are entitled to q f2,o0t exemption plus the additional ;20p fol each dependent under IS years of ag' or who is incapable of self-support be cause mentally or physically defective This exemption may be divided in an, 1 proportion in separate returns of bus

FIGHTING A MENACE.

Stricter supervision of the incoming immigrants at New York by the putting of the quarantine station at Staten isl- and under government control is one of the preeautions which the cases of .ty- phus fever discovered among those com ing to this country and the deaths which have resulted from the dread disease de- mand.
 Lax conditions regarding the entrance of aliens into the country have not re- gently been brought 10 light. They have been known for long time and pro- lenged efforts have been made to bring about an imbroyement in the situation without the accomplishment of such re- suits as can be, considered satisfactory When health conditions are involved, and the possibility of this plague getting a foetheld in the country recognized. more than the usual amount of attention needs to be devoted to the situation. It is a time when federal, state and local health authorities should be cooperating for tht burmese of safeguarding the countr!
 against the ravages of such disease. Much of this work should be done a the port from which the aliens embark 1 IHeFe q VdiudDie SeTFlCe IS TenQereQ par ticularly when. steamship lines insist up
 on clean bills of health before departing
 but when there are ports at which ther
 is a laxity in this respect and less atten tion paid to inspection and health condi

 those ports.
 New York has not had the cooperatio
 of the federal and local health board that ought to be expected. How man
 cases of typhus there are in New Tor

 When the Lords Day Alliance or any other association announce that they de- sire to get legislation that will in effect invade the rights of the individual con science, and When they give out that they desire a return to the Puritan Sum- day, we have a perfect right to invesd- gate the workings of that sort of laws When they were enforced, and we also
 have a right to expect that once started

 The Puritans did not know or prac- tice even the simplest and plainest prtn- ciples of religious liberty. All they wanted or understood was to have fiber ty to do as they themselves Thought right and they laid heavy hands on those 1 who dared to dissent from their stand ards

GOOD SIGNS.

From time to time evidence has been shown that the Obregon government in Mexico is so directing it's efforts as to bring about a solution of some of the diff hculties which have been wished upon it by previous administrations and thereby clear the road for not only better rela- tions but better state of affairs within its own borders.
 Commendabie progress has been made In the direction of pacifieation. It is true That Mexico isn't entirely free from trou- blesome elements and that more or less action is required on the part of the federal forces to deal with the lavless. but the conditions have been so greatly improved since Obregon took control that it isn't much like the Mexico under Carranza, and Mexico could lay claim to tolerating much less strife than some other sections of the world which would doubtless insist upon being chased as possessing a higher development of civ ilization.
 By means of legislation Obregon has indicated that he intends to overcome some of the serious handicaps which are at the present time experienced by the
 
 cated a determination to reach a solu tion of the dispute concerning the &oi lands and his latest announcement is tt the effect that he proposes to pay all lant owners who were deprived of their prop erty as the result of the Carranza de crees. These are all important in leadins up to the establishment of a stable gov ernment and convincing others that sucl Is the aim even if not actually accom- plished.
 Mexico is doing much to reestablish 1t self in the confidence of the rest of tn world. This is Decessary for it's own good since Mexico needs financial assistanc and there is nothing that would advanc the time when it could get it more thal the recognition on the part of the othe nations that 1t has an efficient govern ment in operation and that it is cogniz ant of its obligations and intends t bring about proper adjustment of it differences.
