Henry A. Tirrell introduced a reso- lution fixing the salaries of the town officers as follows for the ensuing year:
 First selectman, s2,1Oo; second and third selectmen, s200 each; town clerk, s200; town treasurer. $1.000; assessors, s1,2oo each with $500 extra for the member of the board chosen clerk; sec retary town school board, S4o0; tax collector, one per cent. of total tax col lected,
 John Woodmansee immediately offer ed an amendment cutting the tax col leotor's compensation to one-half of one per cent of the total tax collected.
 Timothy c. Murphy said he was very much surprised that anyone in the meeting should undertake to cut down the salary of that office. "We might as we'll start in with the first seleetman and go right down the list" he said. T don't think this meeting will sustain that motion" he said in concluding.
 John J. Corkery also spoke against the amendment. He said that one-hah of one per cent. would amount to about $2, 900 and out of that the tax collec- tor is obliged to pay all the expense of his office. How much is it worth to the town to collect $400,0o0? he asked We place great responsibility on our tax collector said MT. Corkery, andss he should be adequately compensated. In closing he said he hoped the meeting would not approve the amendment. The vote was then called for by-the l chair, A roar of mays" thundered through the hall with two lone and weak "ayes' trailing along. The amend ment was decisively defeated

Strong Plea for Self-Deter-

PITTSBURGH, September 2S.-Cali-
fornia claims the constitutional right
to determine who shall acquire and
hold title to her territory. Senator
Samuel M. Shortridge of California
declared in an address to the PennsyI-
vania convention of Kiwanis clubs.
The case of California is the case
OF not only the Pacific coast states.
but of the Union" said the senator.
our purpose is to preserve our stand
ard and type of living and civiliza =
ton. We do not arrogate to ourselves
superiority in wisdom, nor would we
give just cause for offense to any ma
tion, but we would keep California for
the people capable and disposed for
self-government and devoted to the
principles Of this republic. Even as
we were as a nation opposed to Chi
nese immigration, SO, for like reasons.
economic and governmental. We of
California are unalterably opposed to
the further immigration of Japanese"
But it should be understood. he Add
cd, that the rights of japanese law
fully in this country will be re-
spected and protected.

add nothing to the strength of our
country Senator Shortridge contin-
ned: "As race they are essentially

one. No problem breeds more dissen-
sion than the race problem. Look and
consider the race problem which per-
plexes. irritates and eStranges the
southern states. But the negro prob
lem. serious and difficult to solve as
it is, is as nothing compared to the
race problem which will inevitab bly,
develop as the result of japanese and
other oriental immigration. All this
may be said. I repeat, without just
cause for offense.'
Whatever may be thought to the
contrary, Senator Shortridge declared
''the past or present development of
California has not rested nor does il
rest on japanese labor"
