DOMINATED BT WATER. CO.
Tile committee n Cities and Bor
ugha, which baa decided against al
lowing the city of Bridgeport to own
Ma water supply, appears to be quite
completely under the domination of
Che water corporation, as voiced by the
Unertiii of the House in the guise of a
mare resident of Fairfield. Ownership
had been authorized by the previous
session of General Assembly, but cou
pled with conditions which made the
authorization Ineffective and valueless.
The principal obstructive condition
wm the conferment of a veto power
Upon the towns of Fairfield and Strat
ford. The pending measure, adverse
ly decided upon by the committee on
Cities and Boroughs, would remove
this obstructive condition and also oth.
srwlse facilitate municipal ownership.
It really stripped the previous au
thorization of subterfuges and brought
the matter to the straight issue, wheth
er the' committee would favor the city
or the water company, and the com
mittee made Its choice for the latter,
a. fact which Justifies the charge that
the committee is dominated by the pri
vate corporation.
Were the committee constituted, in
Its majority, of representatives of cit
ies, as it should be, the decision would
undoubtedly have been In favor of the
city, for the right of the matter is
upon that side, as all city representa
tives are well aware. We hesitate to
charge that Speaker Banks packed this
committee against the B ridgeport
proposition, even though the facts so
Indicate. He knew that this matter
would come before the committee, and
he did not give city representation
upon it, a distinct and significant vio
lation of the precedents.
Presumably, the House will adopt
the committee's adverse report, and the
effect of such action will be that the
General Assembly refuses to allow the
city of Bridgeport to own its water
supply, as do nearly ell cities in the
country and as they find profit in do
Ign, unless it can secure the consent
of Fairfield and Stratford, only a I
fraction of whose people take the wa
ter service and whose combined popu
lation Is less than one-tenth of that
of Bridgeport.
Injustice has no greater depth.
Increased tariff duties on long ho
siery and gloves have brought many
women to a realisation of the effect of
tariff duties upon prices, and they are
beginning to send protests to Wash
ington. They are reaching a belief
that a tariff duty is a tax, and that
ft Is not paid by Importers but is un
necessarily added to the prices of goods
produced In this country.
There are S3 States which now im
pose an Inheritance tax. If a. Fed
eral tax of this kind be imposed, all
of these States must repeal their in
heritance taxes or allow a double bur
den to be Imposed. The latter alter
native is really ' Inadmissible. How
serious the matter is in some states
tnay be realized from the fact that
New York derives one-fifth of its rev
enue from this source.
Brazil produces about 80 per cent, of
fhe world's supply of coffee, and ira-
rises export taxes aggregating about
1-4 cents a pound not 3 1-2 as here
tofore erroneously stated. That coun
try holds thus a commanding position
and cannot be coerced by tariff pro
visions Into abandoning its export
taxes. For the benefit of Porto Rico
and the Philippines, we might tax our
selves upon imports of coffee without
n the least disturbing the equanimity
f Brazil.
'Railway Magnate Hill finds that ev
pry member of .Congress favors econ
omy in expenditures except in his own
flistrict. There have been exceptions
to this rule, but they have been rare.
Speaker Cannon first came into prom
inence as a chronic and somewhat
acrid objector, but appears to have
Since lost his tendency toward econ
omy. Mr. Hill might have added that
no member favors tariff reductions
applicable in his own district, how
ever the real conditions may allow
such changes with complete safety.
A. recent report from Washington
stated that President Taft was con
sidering favorably a proposition to
levy a tax on corporation dividends.
Now it is stated that the President
and Speaker Cannon have conferred
upon the subject and decided to push
k forward at the regular session of
Congress in December. . Ease of col
lection is one of the arguments in its
support, as in the matter of an inher
itance tax. But what a storm of op
position will arise! There are in this
country quite a few stockholders in
corporations.

eration no more trolley roads would
be constructed. It Is probable that
no more Insincere trolley charters
would be granted, but it is entirely
safe to say that whenever and wherc
ever any person or corporation actu
ally desired to build a road, actually
needed, no obstacles would be placed
in the way. Charters for other than
such lines are of no real value to the
public.
It was lately reported that President
Taft will, in his message to Congress
next December, advocate the imposi
tion of an income tax. If such a meas
ure were modeled upon the Japanese
income tax, there would be no danger
of a Treasury deficit. In Japan, this
tax ranges from 17 per cent, upon in
comes of $500 to 68 per cent, on incomes
of $50,000 or more. The latter would
tend to check increase in the number
of American millionaires, and also stop
the too rapid augmentation of the
swollen fortunes of multi-millionaires
through the process of self-growth.
Not long ago, Mr. Schwab of the
Steel Trust was very certain that the
tariff duties on iron and steel could
not be safely reduced. Now he joins
with Mr. Carnegie in asserting that
steel can withstand any cuts and that
this country "can compete with any
other country." He also holds that the
same is true of somo other industries,
but without naming them. He is prob
ably quite correct in both statements.
In fact, we are inclined to believe that
all of the larger industries "can com
pete "with any other country," and
their present protection simply adds
its amount to the prices to home con
sumers. ,

FAIRFIELD
Dispossessed Proposed Fire District
Cleaning np A Chemical Engine
Coming Minstrel Show Business
and Games.
The summary process case for the
dispossession of a tenant, which came
up before Justice 'Wakeman a few
days ago, and from whose decision
there was some talk of taking an ap
peal, has been allowed to rest accord
ing to the decision of the court, and
it is now known that the tenant will
leave by April 1, and the owner will
occupy his Own house.
It has been suggested that a fire dis
trict be established in the center of
the town, so that those who live with
in the district can control a number of
things which are now beyond their
reach. If a certain number of voters
wish for this state of affairs, all they
have to do is to sign a petition calling
for a town meeting, and then if the
majority agrees the thing is done. It
is only a question of time when the
town must come to this. Among oth
er things a better system of informing
the people where a fire is must be de
vised. At the recent fire when Mr.
Hayes' barn was destroyed, the whis
tle on the Rubber Factory gave one
long blast and two short ones. As
this was not repeated many did not
catch the combination. And some of
those who did were ignorant of Its
signification. It is thought there
ought to be a' telephone in the house of
the Hook & Ladder company, and
someone always there, at least in the
evenings, to take any message which
might come. If a fire district is set
apart, this can be done.
There is a general cleaning up going
on in the center of the town, in an
ticipation of spring. Most of the trees
have been trimmed; the lawns have
been raked over; men are at work
cleaning out the catch basins; and the
sides of the roadways are being even
ed up and graded where necessary,
while the debris of the winter is being
taken away.
It is said In town that next Thursday
Mrs. Ochs will close her restaurant and
move with her family to Wilton, which
is not far from Norwalk on the Dan
bury road. Mr. Och, it is thought,
will remain for sometime longer, or un
til he disposes of his barber shop.
The St. Thomas boys have organ
ized a baseball team, with Christo
pher Graveson for treasurer, Teddy
Andrews for manager and Patsey Car
roll for captain. Just now the boys
are practicing for the coming season.
The man who canvasses for the hew
directory was making calls in town
yesterday.
It is rumored that a number of the
bridesmaids for Miss Child, will be her
classmates from Smiths' collese. It
is proposed to close the library on the
wedding day from 4 until 6 o'clock, to
give the ladies in attendance an op
portunity to attend the ceremony and
the reception.
To-morrow the Home Made Bakery
will put its new delivery wagon on
the road for the summer. This will
be a great accommodation to those
who dwell in cottages by the sea
Smith Brothers, wfU known contrac
tors and carpenters, have' the contract
for building a new cottage near Mill
River bridge, for one of our Hungar
ian citizens.
The new Ajax chemical engine for
the Fairfield Rubber Factory, has been
tested and gives great satisfaction. It
threw a stream of chemicals over the
top of the building. This demonstra
tion of its power has impressed our
firemen very favorably and they are
considering the proposition to purchase
one for their use. It is light and could
be easily taken to a fire without wait
ing for the men belonging to the de
partment to assemble.
The Patterson family, which for a
long time lived on the chicken -and
duck form belonging to Mr. O. C. Jen
nings, but which left town some years
ago to reside in Bridgeport, has re
turned to town, and is stopping with
the Barr family until such time as a
house can be found which is for rent.
Vacation begins at the Hargrove
school next Friday. Prof. Swann has
been granted a leave of absence and
while some of the students will go to
New York, and others to Atlantic City,
a few will remain to continue their
studies.
This - afternoon the ladies of the
Greenfield Hill Country Club met at
the house of Mrs. W. H. Wilson, to
make arrangements for a coming min
strel performance. The music at the
entertainment given an evening or two
ago, as arranged by Mr. Hull, was as
follows: Selections by the orchestra of
the club; piano solos by Miss Ethel
Wlsner and Anna Gray; a duet bv the
Misses tBhel and Kate Knapp; piccolo
eolo by Mrs. Wilmer Pratt and Mr.
Harold Hull; vocal solo by Mrs. Mon
roe R. Perry; and more by the orches
tra. After the music there were re
freshments. The house belonging to Miss Augu3ta
Smith, of Southport, has been rented
by Dr. and Mrs. G. A. Lawrence of
New York.
To-morrow afternoon the King's
Daughters will meet at the Methodist
parsonage.
The Unquowa club will hold a busi
ness meeting next Monday at 3 p. m-1
for the purpose of electing officers fori
the ensuing year. While.no slate has
been announced it is hinted that there;
will be many changes.
There is a bowling contest on at the;
Brewer bowling alleys, between mem
