 NEW TAXES
WHERE THEY HIT YOU-AND HOW

monthly bill. pay this to the tax collector.
 If you buy electricity at a fiat
 rate, you must pay the tax whether you use the current or not. since
 the levy is based on rate instead of
 on consumption.
 In many cities, the average household electric bill Is about $s a month. This means a tax of IS Icents month, or s1.s0 year. The law says the tax applies to electrical energy flor domestic or commercial consumption" which means homes, stores, etc. It ex- lempts electrical energy furnished | for ''industria1 consumption" Such |exemptions include electricity used for manufacturing, mining, rcfin- ling, building construction. rail-
 roads, telephone. telegraph and
 radio facilities, etc.
 Newspapers are officially classed as industrial enterprises and ara therefore exempt from the tax. Also exempt is electricity used by tho federal government, states cities, counties and towns. Nezti Dank Checks and Safety ] deposit bozes.

The talk of drafting former lGovernor John H. Trumbull to run again never did gain great head way in responsible quarters of the l party. The Plainyille manufac- turer has repeatedly declared he does not want the office again and asks only to be left alone.' It is understood the larger interests with which the Trumbull Electric Company is connected would ob- Ject to his running for governor at this time.
 Had either Alcorn or Trumbull been receptive and shown an in- ! clination to go out and get the lnomination. it is believed he could have had it without serious oppo- sition.
 So now the republican organiza- tion seems to have turned to 3 man who has come up through the various stages of party ad- vancement in state office to the final setpping stone before the governorship the lieutenant governorship = virtually unknown by the voters of the state. If the average voter were asked his chief impression of Spencer, he would probably reply he was the Man with the van dyke chin whisker." What the lieufenant-governo thinks about prohibition, old age pensions, state economy. unemploy- ment insurance, taxation and numerous other public questions is scarcely known outside the circle of his immediate acquaintance. It is regarded as certain that if the republicans nominate spencer an intensive publicity campaign will be started to make him known to the electorate. Probably his background as a descendant of an old Yankee family in a small town and Yale grduate will be stressed of Governor Wilbur L. Cross whose family came to Connecticut about 300 years ago and who not only attended Yale, but was, dean of Yale Graduate School. Spencer was member of the class of '93, along with Associate Justice Christopher L. Avery of the state supreme court and State Motor Vehicles Commissioner Robbins B. Stoeckel. Governor Cross was graduated in '85.
 Former Attorney-Gener Frank Healy of Windsor Locks is ex- pected to nominate Spencer at the republican state convention, Sep- tember 2.
 The rest of the republican nom- inees are still very much in doubt. except for the senatorship. which is believed sure to go to the pres ent senior senator - Hiram Bing- ham of New Haven.
 State Senator Albert Lavery of Fairfield is being talked of for lieutenant-governor. State Treas- urer Roy c. Wilcox of Meriden may be moved up to that position.
 c. O. P. leaders would like to find a place for Anson Keeler of Norwalk. perhaps as comptroller. or secretary of state. Friends of William c. Muiligan of Hartford are anxious to put him on the ticket also.

 Herriot was informed that many conflicting reports regarding the Lausanne agreement had been cir cuIated abroad and that the im- pression prevailed in some quar- fers that France had an agreement with Britain to act jointly in deal- ing with the United States on war debts.
 America has no need to fear a European bloc to drive such a bar gain. the premier replied with great emphasis, deploring the false state- ments attributed to him. He en- Dhasized that there is no such Agreement between Britain and France.
 The so-called "gentleman's agree ment" at Lausanne, he explained. was nothing more than an under Sanding that the reparations set tlement would not be effective, that sacrifices to which France agreed will not be made unless there also is an agreement among France, Britain and the United States re- garding the debt payments to America.
 There is no agreement or under etanding, he emphasized. that France and Britain shall present a united front to the United States or that debt agreement may not he. made between Britain and the United States entirely independent of France.
 To make himself clear, the pre- mier asked his secretary to bring a copy of the Journal Offlciel, display ing the statement he made 10 the chamber of deputies on the matter.
 This is my statement" he said, tapping the newspaper. Tt is sim- ply to specify exactly what the gen. fleman's agreement is. It says: The Lausanne settlement is condition al. Sacrifices of Lausanne are pro- yisioBal. European debt settlement is placed within the framework of a world settlement of the question of International debts'."
 '''The text is clear, so clear that none can contest or falsely inter- pret 1t. Either satisfactory settle ment will be reached and the Lau- sannO agreement will become de- finite or the settlement will appear to be unsatisfactory, in which case the Young plan will remain in force.
 For some days unfortunate and : false interpretations of my state- 1nent on the Lausanne accomplish ments have been circulated over the world. They have even put in

 The answer was:

 T don't suppose they ever will forget that night" Mrs O. B.. Will Hams of Goldsborough, N. c. apologized. They were so afraid.
 Dorothy, there, she had a lot O tantrums, and we had quite a time keeping her quiet"
 The family scene was typical of the after-the- e-bonus-battle era in washington. The Red Cross had offered to send many to their homes, but the many to be sent said they had no homes.
 They slept on lawns, anywhere owners of private property would permit. their bonus camp homes burned out in the attack by the OHAIcu 0tdISS amy huASuoy night.
 Most of the survivors here planned to "stay with the crowd" Misery loved company. And be- cause some were going to Johns town, Pa, many probably will fol- low.
 "They didn't have this good when they first came into Anacostia camp" Mrs Williams said. T guess we'll be all right. This is private property and they can't burn us out here.
 We just got out in time. The soldiers came in about 9 o'clock and told us we'd have to get out.
 we asked for time to get our things out but they threw some burning papers onto the table. It burned a hole in my tablecloth.
 'Tt wasn't a very good cloth, but you don't like to see holes burned in 1t.
 "Then they took some papers and lit them and threw them under the bed. My husband got them and thew them out. We moved across the street here.

 Practically all of Roosevelt's public appearances since his nom- ination at Chicago have been from the porch. The night he was nomin- ated he was forced to accede to the cheers of several hundrel persons and walk to the veranda to say hello"

 The governors campaign, he has said, will be broken into jaunts from Albany and return. He could punctuate the trips with speeches from the veranda.

 The troops moved near the de- partment of agriculture building and destroyed two small camps of rude huts made from scrap lum- Der and old sheet iron.
 Police searched in the parks for stragglers. Vagrants who never had been with the bonus army were caught in the drive. All who could not show means of support were escorted to the District of Columbia borders.
 A few destitute and stranded families were given temporary aid by private families who let them sleep on lawns. The Red Cross an- nounced it would provide trans portation home, for swomen and children. But many of the families had no place to go.
