 Freeman For Tsx Bill
 The compromise tax biii has passed both Senate and House. Both Counee- tieut senator's voted for it. and Con gressrnen Freeman and O'Suilivan. Nr. Freeman. in explaining his vote today. said 'T voted for it that tho Secretary of the Treasury might have an opportunity to examine the hill. But fl the President vetocs it, ! shall certainly sustain him. Mir. Freeman voted for the measure as 1t first passed the House. and at that time de- clared that. although the bill had many bad features. he thought it contained tax reduction and be could not see his way co opposing it on the final vote.
 Three of the nine votes against the bill as # went through the House this week came from Connecticut Con gressmen Fenn. Tiison and Merritt continued their opposition Co the meas ure.
 After the bill passed the Senate Mir. Mclean iaHusd statement saying that the bill was very far from being the kind of q one he wanted, hut that it provided for tax reduction and it's good points outweighed its bad feat urex.

Hiseox. 50. who died at his home m Woodstock Valley early Saturday morning. of pneumonia. following little more than a weeks illness me funeral service was conducted by Rev. Henry D. Baker, who spoke ID glowing terms of the life and service to his friends and the community rendered by the deceased.

Edwin Brainard Of Branford, chairman of the House Of Representative committee on roads, bridges and river. on which commit tee Mr. Hiscox served.
 Influential Citiren
 The death of Mir. Hiscox removes from the town of Woodstock one of it's most influential, respected and helpful citizens. For about thirty years he had been chairman of the Republican town committee and as such was close to the party leaders in the county and state. He had served three terms in the legislature as representative, in 1893, 1917 and 1923. In 1883 he was messenger in the House and in 1886 served in a similar capacity in the Senate. Though he declined various town offices, he did accept election to the school board and for years acted as it's chairman.
 MT Hiseox was native of Wood stock. being born in the house across the road from the one in which he died. He attended the local school and afterward graduated from Wood stock Academy. His ability and talent found expression in many ways. especially in the settlement Of estates and in an advisory capacity to lis friends and townspeople who went to him in numbers. for advise and counsel.
 Had Statewide Acquaintance
 Mir. Hiscox gained a statewide ac- quaintance through his being a rep- resentative. and also by reason of his membership in the State Forestry as- soeiation and the Connecticut Histori- cal society. of which he was life member
 He was looked upon as the greatest living authority on and student of Woodstock history. The history of that appeared in Lineoln's History of Windham County, was from the pen of Mir. Hiscox.
 Mr Hiseox was a widely known collector of antiques, his interest centering in rare books and plates, though he gathered many antique pieces of furniture. His books and plates gained widespread notice among collectors, many people from all part of the county making pilgrimages to his home to view his collection and to study them.

SHORTAGES NOT FORGOTTEN.

The people will generally approve the
finding, within the city income, OF the
wherewithal to raise salaries of police
men and firemen. 1t is believed that
proper financing and proper administra-
ton of the public funds would bring
about the accumulation of tidy reserve
for emergencies. Undoubtedly, the city
government is costing too much for the
results obtained. But the increase in
the wages aforementioned serves to make
more content the trained and experienced
men upon whom the safety of this COM
munity so greatly depends. For fire
men contribute to the public safety as
we'll as policemen.
The commissions nonchalent attitude
towards the shortages, however, in no
degree meets with public favor. The
Jaw and the public hold all the commits
sioners equally responsible for misman-
agement or carelessness in the handling
If the public monies. The shortages are
a charge against the present city govern
nent and win continue to be so regarded

Forum Of The People
MIR. Bowie Convinced Democrats Can Win.

Mr. Bowie Convinced Democrats Can WIN.
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The Literary Digest, according to the New
York World, sent its ballots to twenty-elght
Republicans for every ten Democrats, or a
ratio of practically three to one. ANY sane
person knowing anything of the political MIS-
tory of this country knows there are not three
Republicans to one Democrat. In fact, the
parties are almost evenly divided. The ac-
ton of the Digest is, therefore, little more
than 2 Republican poll by the Republicans
themselves. As matter of course, Cooldge
would be expected to carry the majority Oh
his own party. That is about what the pom
is worth. This is shown again by the fact
that the poll had been running about three
or four weeks before any Democratic states
began to receive any ballots. This dlscredlts,
conclusively, the entire poll
Another thing that shows the same thing
is. that is the poll Coolidge is getting practl-
callv the same vote as Harding, who carried
the country by seven million votes four years
ago, while only two years ago In the election
of 1929. the Democrats broke practically even
in the House of Representatives and almost
carried the Senate, making very large gains
in both houses.
OF course, l am not in a position, nor Is
any other individual in position to state
what will be the result of the election IN NO
yember. but in view of the 1922 result, which
is very near the normal status of the parties
in this country, it is quite absurd to say that
Coolidge's majority over Davis will be more
than ,Hardings majority over Cox, as the
Digest poll unexplained would indicate. My
own opinion, however, is that the vote will
be close and may be thrown, into the House
of Representatives, in which event DAVIS
will be the best chance of the three candidates.
I mention this matter in order to emphasize
another point.
The Age-Herald is engaged in a commenda-
BILE effort to raise funds in this state for the
Democratic national campaign. The re-
sponses have been slow, slower than they
should be. If there is any way the Democrat
ic subscriptions can be stimulated, 1t should
be DONE Every dollar contributed would
help, not only in electing the Democratic ma
tional ticket, but in giving us control OF con-
gress, which is of equal or greater impor-
lance.
The South has been Disseminated against
since 1850. The only time we have ever had
anything approaching a square deal from the
national government has been in the sixteen
wears of Democratic control under Wilson
and Cleveland The South does not ask and
has not asked for favors, but it is entitled to
Justice and a square deal. An intelligent con-
sideration of its own interests would stimu-
late a much greater interest in the collection
of campaign funds here than has so far been
manifested The national outlook is far from
homeless, as the Digest poll would indicate,
hut the campaign cannot be conducted and
the issues properly explained to the voters
without money. Let every Democrat do his
duty. ~

Campaign Fund

The Age-Herald is receiving contributions
for the Democratic presidential campaign
fund from its readers. The fund stood yes
terday as follows:
Previously acknowledged 1,411'OO
B.W. COstIOw, 524 S. 47th st. 80. 2.OO
The time is growing short in which to COM
plete the swing of votes to the Democratic
ticket. What is done must be done within
three weeks Those who expect to contribute
to the campaign FUND should do 50 now II
they want their money to do the utmost good.
1t begins to look as if the Borah resolution
of inquiry will keep the Republican contrlbu-
tions lower than they would otherwise be-.
Therefore, the Democrats are not under the
heavy financial handicap that has often Kept
them out of the White House.
A dollar counts more in this campaign than
it has in previous campaigns, for it has to
offset fewer privilege dollars on the other
side.
Contribute to the Democratic effort and to
the success of John w. Davis.
Party loyalty has thus an additional man
ner in which it may serve the party.
If many will give moderately, the total Will
be sufficient.
But in this community many are not CIV
ing even moderately.
Is the cause not a worthy one!

MIR. CLOGS ERRONEOUS VIEW.

1t seems that Mr.. Cloe has a somewhat
erroneous view of the extent of his own
authority in the police department and OF
the relation of the commission to his or
any other department. Mr.. Cloe de-
nounces the commissions refusal to en-
dorse certain of his police recommended
tions as interference" in his depart
ment. Now the commissions judg-
ment may be wrong in some cases when
it opposes his proposals, but the commits
sion is by no means interfering. 1t Is
exercising over any and all departments
that sovereign authority with which it
is by law invested. 1t is quite certain
that the commissions judgment is open
to strong question when it rejects Mr..
Cloe's proposal for an increase in the
number of policemen and firemen. II
Mr.. Cloe arraigns the commission for
failure in its public duty in this regard,
he will have public sentiment with him.
1t is probably that the commission is
usually open to more blame for failing to
exercise promptly its sovereign authority
over departments than for interfering "
For example, the commissions almost
studied indifference for many months to
the evidence of gross carelessness and
mismanagement of the public accounts is
still fresh in the public mind. Doubt
less several of the commissioners who
actively oppose Mr.. Cloe on many occa-
sions would be equally as resentful if
there was similar attitude towards them
selves. Birmingham is theoretically un-
der a government by a commission, and
not a government by commissioners.
Because of this unfortunate situation,
there is not that unity of purpose and
program contemplated by the trainers
of the commission law. On the contrary,
instead of unity there is division, with
five members, of what should be a team,
each pulling in some separate direction.
