They're waging war on the flappers
Reformers are hot on their trail;
They are all wrong, it seems,
They ought to be locked up in

To the pillory, where all can see;
Do they think they can bluff
Their way through with that stuff
Do they think this the laa Of the

CONNECTICUT co. TO PAY RECORD
 BREAKING CHECK FOR TAXES

on Saturday the state of Connecticut Will be presented with a check for over tnree-quarter of a million dollars. n payment of taxes; the piece of paper in question being the largest single tax check ever received at the state capital at Hartford. The exact amount written on the face is s781, ,410.9s, and it comes rom the Connecticut Company's offices in New Haven
 There is an interesting history behind this check and in the analysis of ,thfs history there are items of interest to every person who is citizen of the state.
 Back in 1917 rising costs of material, labor, and fuel, together with the effort to keep down the, cost of service to tht car riders made it necessary for the Connecticut Company to defer paying the total amount of it's taxes to the state. At that time the company was 1 assessed four and one-half per cent of its gross income as state tax regard less of the net income. From that pc riod in 1917 until 1921, the trolley com pany was obliged to pass payments of l it's taxes to the state because during l this time the gross earnings of the com pany were only about equal to the
 wages of the employees, costs of mater 1 ials necessary and obligatory malnte-
 nance repair work so that the service i would not be impaired. Incidentally
 in 1920 the company faced deficit of
 s1,43s,091 At the opening of the year 1921 the total unpaid taxes due the
 state from the Connecticut Company
 was ,$1,s22,22o.S3.
 I By the combination of increased rates of fare, large economies in methods ot operation and measure of relief from
 competition of the motor bus, a com plete change has been brought about ir 1 the company's financial condition. The legislature of 1921 enacted statutes rem | edying inconsistent and unjust practices
 which had gradually developed, such al regulation of jitney operation, change

MONEY oNLx FOR CHILDREN
 WHO ARE PUBIIC CHARGEs


 Charles E. Dow. the state commi ssion- CT of child welfare. has prepared set of rules governing the expenditure of money. from the appropriation of $50,000 which, under the recent decision of At torney General Frank B. HeSly. Is now available for the payment of the board of children under years.
 Commissioner Dow's rules state that payments will be made only in case of children who are public charges. The bureau of child welfare will repay to cities, towns and boroughs, one-hsh of the amounts paid by them for the board of the children. Payments to local au- thorities will be made only in eases where the authorities have assumed re- sponsibility for the care of the child in the payment of whose board assistance Is sought. The boarding place and the 2 rate of board must be approved by the , bureau of child welfare to entitle town {. city or borough to reimbursement. Ap- plications for assistance in payment of board must be made on the forms pro- vided by the bureau of child welfare.
 Assistance in paying the board of chill }dren under four years will not be given for period of more than thirty days preceding the receipt by the bureau of child welfare of the application for as- sistance In the case, however. of any child under four years of age for whom board has been paid by a city, town or borough between January 1. 1922 and July 15. 1922. application for assistance may be made within thirty days from l July 15, and reimbursement, may be giv- l en in accordance with the regulations for the entire period during which the | local authorities have paid board for t' child since January 1, 1922.

in the obligations relative to paving and bridge contributions that had been a charge against the car rider. The payment of this large amount to the state as a result of these changes makes a large saving to the taxpayers of the state,
 After the passage of this remedial legislation at the termination of the first tax period subsequent to the legislative session of 1921, the Connecticut Con- pany Is able to liquidate $362, ,s63.0s of the total amount of s1,S22, ,22o.s3 which Is due in back taxes, and, in addition, pay the state s41s,447.s2, which is three per cent of the gross income for the past year.
 During the last legislative session, it was expected that the receipts of the state would not come up to the point they have reached at present. and 3 bond issue of three million dollars was authorized to take care of deficiencies A short time ago, 1t was announced that the bond issue would not be necessary thereby eliminating that amount of in. debtedpess which the taxpayers of ths state would ultimately have to meet One of the most important items enter. ing into the elimination of the bond is- sue was the fact that the Connecticut Company was to pay the state its gros. | income tax for 1921 and one-half of ths
 1921 net income, to apply on bacl taxes.
 There is $1.45s, ,25T.77 still left for tn, Connecticut Company to pay the stat, I in back taxes which will be liquidate:
