he has hit on the only feasible tax rate. Neither can the advocates of the 50 per cent surtax claim that they have found the only number which will do the great trick. The selection of this rate is guesswork, more or less, no matter how wise may be the guessers. Careful study of the situation will make more probable an accurate guess. but when all is said and done no person is able to state, until the final figure has been fixed and a trial of the rate made. what the most bene- ficial rate will be.

PICKING \ POSTMASTER

The New Britain Herald"
 which has insisted that pull.
 popularity or persistence" would
 dominate the choice of a republi-
 can to replace theM democratic
 postmaster Of that city, accepts
 with i'll grace the news from
 Washington that the candidate who stood highest in the federal civil service examination has been
 selected for the place.
 "The Courant," which does not think much of tho civil service system as a practical proposition and realizes that Connecticut is doing better since it abolished the system than it could under the narrow and doctrinaire of those who would push the scheme 10 ifs limit, is satisfied that a good
 man has been chosen for New Britain in spite of the civil service requirements. but the tHcrald," defender Of the so-Called merit system. is having d hard time swallowing the result in the face or all its unsupported claims that the republican organization sup ports candidates without regard to their qualifications.
 No doubt the "Hcrald'' feels that it ought to know something about the way posimasters are picked. but 1t should be careful to distinguish between the repub- lican and democratic methods. It was at the hands Of the demo- cratic machine in 1915 that the then editor Of the Herald" a highly respected and able man. was turned down for the New Britain appointment in shame ful manner although pre-emiDent- ly better fitted for the place than the ultimate appointee. There are phases Of the abrupt switch 10 the present incumbent which remain unexplained to date and the Herald" can do real service ih the interest of fair play by re- yealing what influences were at work at that time.
