PUBLIC SENTIMENT AGAINST
 PERSONAL TAX LAW

Sentiment for repeal of the personal tax law, has been expressed in several parts of the state and especially in New Haven, where it has been difficult to col lect even a small part of the tax.
 In New Haven only some 2S,000 out of S0 1000 persons liable for this tax have paid up and the New Haven papers have suggested that as a revenue producer the personal tax is a cumbersome affair.
 Since the last legislative session, which made the personal tax apply to all wo- men from 21 to 65 years of age, as well as to men the tax has fallen still farther from favor and if the populace should be given a chance to register it's nnjnion of the tax at the polls it would mean sudden end of the measure it is said.
 The personal tax started as a mili- tary communication tax many years ago when all citizens between 21 and 45 years of age who did not serve in the military had to pay tax. Next it was extended to apply to all male persons between the ages of 21 and 65, it being felt that there was no reason why the foreigner should not pay this tax.
 At the time this extension was made, many tax collectors stated ta the leg islative committee having charge of the bill which as drafted would tax only clu- izens between 21 and 65 years of age, that if foreigners were not included un- der this tax they could not collect it be- cause the popular disapproval would ne so great as to make collection impos- sibe. The bill was accordingly amend ed and passed.
 | In the last legislature which was hard l pressed for finding means for raising revenue both for the state and for the l town and cities the argument was | brought forward that inasmuch as the women nof had the vote, they should also pay the personal tax and the personal i tax law was accordingly amended to In- clude all women between the ages of 21 and 65 This doubled the number Of 1 persons liable for this tax but more than doubled the unpopularity of it be- cause in the majority of castss it doubled the personal tax bill of the head of the family who paid his wife's taxes as well as his own.
 This form of direct taxation, not condi- tfonal on the amount of property one has but merely because a person is of a
 certain age, is not generally approved, especially because by and large it means a direct tax of S4 for the bread winner
 in the family and is not proportioned to
 the amount of his income of value of his holdings.

TO BAR ALL CATTLE NOT
 PASSED BY TUBERCULIN TEST

their herds unless all untested cattle are barred from the grounds. This they pointed out is the only way they can safeguard their own herds.
 In view of this fact it was deemed advisable for the best interests of the fair that untested cattle be barred from the grounds The fo,owing resolution which is practically the same as that in force at the Eastern States Expositiof, was adopted:
 All entries of cattle, whether for eR' hibition or educational purposes, shal; be either from 8 tuberculosis-free accredited herd. or shall have passed a satisfac- tory tubercuEn test and found to be free from tuberculosis. Said test must have been made within six months immediate ly prior to the opening of the show, and by veterinarian authorized by his State Live Stock official and by the United States Bureau of Animal Indus try to apply said test. Exhibitor must produce certificates, which must describe the individual recorded therein. includ- ing registration numbers. etc. and this rule is to take effect immediately. The executive committee feel that the adoption of this new rule will result in bringing to the fair several large herds which have not heretofore exhibited at the fair groundG.
 There is considerable interest in the poultry department as may be seen from the fact that a poultry exhibit from Birmingham, Mass, has just been enter ed
 The pigeon and pet stock department. James L. Tourtel,otte, superintendent, will use the ground floor of the south end of the grand stand.
