Notable 1870 stamps.

The new varieties of postage stamps
issued during the last twelve months
have been appreciably fewer In num-
Der than in 1919. which established a
high record But if the output has
been small, the Quality has been, on
the whole commensurahiy high, and
192o has enriched the pages of the
stamp album by many beautiful and
noteworthy examples of the printers
and engraver's arts, as well as count
leaa specimens fraught with curious
and historical interest.

judges two of the superior and one of
the supreme court. It is interesting to
recall the circumstances to which the APP
poi:ltment of Judge Avery to the bench
by Governor Holcomb is due.
Governor Holcolhb when he was on the
superior court bench, presided at the trial
of a case in Norwich in which Mr.. Avery
was counsel. 1t was the first time that
he had heard Mr. Avery in the practice
of law and he was struck with the pro-
found knowledge of law and of legal prin-
ciples displayed by Judge Avery and with
the clear manner in which ne presented
his arguments When as governor Judge
Holcomb had judicial appointments to
fill he looked around for men who would
maintain the high character of the judi
ciary of Connecticut and in the selection
of Judge Avery for the bench he found
such man.
1t would cause no surprise il Governor
Lake nominated Judge Greene for the
supreme court of errors and thereby Sc
I cured his occupancy Of place on the
highest court of the state for the balance
else judicial functions. The suggestion
thas been made that Governor Lake
should. appoint Congressman Tilson to
one of the vacancies on the supreme
court bench. This suggestion has en-
countered a great deal of opposition from
those who thought It would be unfair to
| the judges of the superior court to take
man from the outside, and who had
no experience on the bench, and appoint
him over their heads.

DISCUSSING TILsoN FOR

In spite Of the fact that Congressman
John Q. Tilson has made it plain that he
did not think his name was still on the
list of possible appointees to the bench

menship to judicial functions, says the
Hartford Times. Governor Lake has two
positions on the bench of the supreme
court of errors and enc superior court
judgeship to fill. The vacancy in the
latter position will be caused by the re-
tirement of judge Gardiner Greene of
Norwich when he reaches the age limit
of 70 years.

wondering if Governor Lake will over
look the claim of their county to two
judges and thereby disturb the existing
numerical arrangement. With the retire

have but one judge. Judge Christopher

SENATE CONSIDERS
REDUCING INCOME TAXES
Has Already Cut Down Amount Of
Taxes to be Paid After 1922 on
Incomes Above $4,000

Washington, Oct. 25.-The senate,
having voted to reduce the amount of
taxes to be paid after 1922 by indi-
viduals having net incomes ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 or more, had
before it today the question of cut
ting down the taxes on those whose
net incomes are $4,000 or less.
A reduction of so per cent for this
class of taxpayers is sponsored by
Senator Guerry, Democrat, Rhode Is
land, with the approval and support
of the other Democrats on the senate
finance committee. The proposed cut
would be in addition to the slight re-
duction which would result from the
committee recommendation that this
class of taxpayers who are heads of
families be granted an increased ex-
emption of $500.
Senator Guerry not only would re-
lieve these taxpayers, but also would
have further reductions made in the
taxes to be paid by all individuals.
Specifically, his amendment to the
pending revision bill would fix the
normal incomes rates at 2 per cent
on the first $4,000 o fincome; four
per cent on the third $4,000 and eight
per cent on all over $4,000. The
present normal rate is eight per cent
on all over $4,000 and four per cent
on the amount Of the income below
$4,000. The committee has proposed
that these rates be retained.
