TILSON URGES UNION
 OF REVENUE BILLS
Connecticut Representative Favor' Joining Tariff and Tax
 Measures.

Washington, Aug. 5.-To unite the tariff and tax bills in one measure was again urged by Representative John Q. TilsOn of Connecticut, a member of the ways and means committed who took an active part in preparing the tariff bill having charge of the metals and sundried schedules. When the ways and means committee of the House and the finance committee of the Senate held their joint conference in March Representative Til son proposed this plan.
 "There Is more reason now for it's adoption,' said Mr. Tilson. than ever be- fore. In fact there is no good reason why both of these bills making up the revenue legislation should not be con- bined i'll one great measure. Such a program would be in line with the budget idea. To divide up revenue legislation into different bills is like general divid- ing his forces and thus permitting his army to be defeated in detail rather than keeping 1t together in one solid force In my judgment the time is now ripe for such program to be inaugurated
 By the time the revenue bill reaches the Senate the tariff bill should be well on its way to completion in that body. When the revenue bill arrives from the House there would be no difficulty what ever in adding it to the tariff bill as an amendment. so that when finished in the Senate 1t would all come back to the House as one measure"

 Frightful Condition of Roads.
 "The percentage of bad order freight cars has not been below SC per cent. at any time during the past five years During the year 1917 II ranged between 5.2 and GO per cent While there is no general percentage as to what the normal percentage should be, 1t seems to be generally accepted at from , to 0 per cent The percentage of bad-ordcr cars on uly I. 1921, was I5.O per cent, or about 10 per cent. above normal. The to- tai number of freight cars in service at the present time is about 2,4OO,OOO, and 10 per cent. of that number would be 24o,ooo, which represents the eN- cess or abnormal bad-order Condi- tio of freight cars today.
 "Thc normal percentage of bad order locomotives is understood to be 10 per cent.

 "The amount of deferred mainten- ance at the present time has been conservatiVely estimated at $4OO,OoO,- 900, of which $2oo, ,ooo represents maintenance of way and $2oo, ,ooo, ,oOo maintenance of equipment.

 "Delayed payments of the current liabilities of the railways, represent ing principally payments due for fuel and materials used in operation, have been conservatively estimated at not less than $500, 900.
 ''The failure to pay these has in volved great industrial distress and depression. It has meant the shut ting down of many industries.

The liar downs" although they put up a good fight, were clearly outclassed by the uptown laddiebucks and although they got few of the events during the day lost so many as to be far behind in the percentage. The crowd left from the Depot Cafe at o:3o a. m. despite the doWnpour of rain and their optimism was justified for up in the valleys of Totoket mountain the sun shone nearly all day Farm arrival and followed 1t with several other barbecues during the day that were fine samples of the art of feed ing the inner man.
 The main athletic event of the day was the tug of war between teams representing the hill boys and the downtown crowd. The hill boys pulled the doWntoWners off their feet three times in succession and just be- fore adjournment gave the down. toWners chance to retrieve them selves. They almost did but the hill boys got the rope two feet over the mark again and won the contests The fat mans race and there were a number in the class, was a winner Big Bill Mcclure of Torrington, New Haven and way stations, won out by an inch or two over Jack Smith, the famous cabby, while Ed Whalen breczed in a few inches behind
