TTTE CHANCES OF RECIPROCITY "With a number of important meas ures pending in the Senate, among them the necessary appropriation bills, It win be very easy for the stand pat Republican Senators to ftibuster against the Canadian reciprocity bill And prevent action upon It during, the present session, and they. appeaiJn "cllned to do so. Several of their leaders retire on March 4th. and have therefore no personal Interest m their carry's future. Bmubiirsn oreans are wminK them r --. . I or what the hiartiora toartmi caua ; "the consequences of their fol"y.' There is little, if any. doubt that a heavy preponderance of public senti ment favors acceptance of the reci procity agreement which is in at least partial harmony-' with the results of the elections In November last when large numbers of Republicans voted the Democratic ticket In rebuke of practically the same policy that the standpat Senators are now endeavor ing to promote. Even so radical a protectionist as Senator Aldrl-h real izes the folly of the standpatters and has written to President Taft. endors ing the agreement with Canada. The Interest of the Democratic party will be promoted by the action succeed in preventing action uron ine agreement. It means that a Repub lican President will be comrelJed to seek , Democratic aid for a measure calculated to benefit the whole coun try by increasing its trade with Can ada. It means that the Republican party will stand condemned for stub born adherence to a policy out of har mony with the times and with public sentiment. The Senate of the next Oor.greea .Mrf ihA arroomAnt but the measure will stand a much better chance then than it does now. for the leading standpatters retire on : March 4th and the Democratic side will be much stronger. thou?h still a minor ity unless reinforced by the Insurgents who are as yet mostly an unknown but not negligible quantity. The TT. S. Supreme court-Is reported to have decided that a transportation rate Is not "unjust and unreasorable" within the meaning of the Interstate commerce laws merely because it may be Inequitable. We dislike to believe that the decision is correctly reported for the distinction between "unjust" and "Inequitable" is too finely drawn for the average comprehension. In a decision recently rendered by Justice Blackmar of the New Yopk Supreme court, the principle that the good will of a business Is one of Its real ' and valuable assets, which can not be Injured without due redress, was laid down. The decision was aimed at the boycott but It has otter applications. For Instance. If good I will Is a real asst. Is It not taxable We venture to call. to the attention of th P-r.nMlr.an rrtv hinh u rr i - ' seeking fresh sources of public reve nue, this new object of possible taxa tion. In & recent speech. Congreseman Hill. gave some verv surpr'rlng statis- tics of New England conditions. He ; ed before the committee on Banks yes stated that between 1880 and 1900. no 1 terday. believing that a bill inaurur- lesa than 15.344 farms were cut into bulldlng lots, sold to summer resi dents, converted Into private parks and game preserves, or a'lowed to grow up to timber, thus takine about five million acres out of cultivat'on and reducing heavily the total of food products. . During the same 20 year period. 2S.360 new fac ories were es tablished, and there was an increase ofl.500.0C0 In population. Do not such figures tend to support the reciprocity agreement wth Can ada? New Ens-land hps evHpntlv a growing need both of food eupp'ies from Canafla. and of the Canadian market for Its manufactures. One of Vew Haven's Aldermen Ft a tea that the city lesi year loM an Industry employing 5.000 men because of the high tax rate. 1? rrlUs. This fact affords a lesson for those who fix the Bridgeport tax rate. Besides the va'larility of a suitable site ani th labor rurp!y. the principal conri dera tion which Influences large Industries seeking new lloretions. Is the tax rate. Fome towns have. In the past, met thi apre arcd with a comtlne-i verdict of print by remitting taxation upon such :5.2,ra,,r:St th-e tdf?eT,aan.t compa-y. ; . . , . . . : For the lo? of the serv ces of his Industries for a series of yea s. b-it wlr Mr. Knoll received damaees of this plap has become impracticable j tZCQ. while his wife.1 who sued for in through - discovery that it U Il'etra! ! juries which rhe claimed she received the State Tax Commissioner in the un covering of untaxed property. If any city having a hirh tax rate secures a new industry, the reason Is found In the roMMon 0f advantages over balancing the heavy tax burden. But the average Industry looks long at the ac.ual and h'rh outlay of "coH cash" In taxes before It tskes the apparent advantares under consideration-and tn qu'te likely to seek other locations which powers similar, or even less, advantages with a low tax rate. New Haven lost a 5,C00-men industry because of a hlh tax rate of 17 jnlHa. It would be well to se to it that Bridgeport does' not meet with similar losses for a similar reason. The Correct lent Company desires permission to ley double trolley tracks through Anonia. and the Sentinel suspests that the ci.y should demand compensation for the use of its streets in the form of an annual percentage of. the company's receipts from fas senger traffic. The Sentinel says:," Prom our ' standpdlnt. every public service corporation wfcih obtalrs a franchise from a municlTa,Itv should be obliged to ray for it in solid c sh Jpied upon a fair and equitable b.sls. Tbe time has rone by for the Indis criminate irran'lng of privileges to corporations of this character without a corresponding- remuneration for the surrender. There appears to be a growlrs sentiment In favor of this c. lrand throughout the coun.ry and It is meetfnsr with strong' advocacy in the la-ger cities. It is not only a fact that cities have granted exceedingly valuable privileges without remuneration, but also that some cities evince a d'srosit'on to supply further facilities without charge. For Instance. Bridgeport is about to build a costly bridge. largely for the convenience of ihe trolley com pany. to replace the present 'structure which is unsafe for use by the very heavy cars now run by the company and this. w!thout even a suggestion from official quarters that the com pany should share the expense.

L, Sullivan Says Hundred Mer chants U.m nd Banking Coa-v venience Now Contem- - ' p'ated (Special to The Parmer.) Hartford.Feb 22. Vigorous speech- . es urging the importance of the es- taonsunient of a banking institution In East Bridgeport were made at the hearing before the committee on Banks yesterday of the petition of 20 well known Brldgeporters whose names have appeared in previous dis patches to the Farmer for the grant ing of a charter to the East Bridge port Trust Co. Senator Archibald McNeil, Jr., opened the hearing. Numerous other speakers were heard. There was no opposition, save the intimation from those who favor ed the project that the Bridgeport Trust Co. was inclined to question the use bt' a. name so similar to its own by the-proposed new institution. As a result of this, a new name is to be given to the committee within a week, and a favorable report trom the committee is expected. The re port, whatever its nature may be, is promised for an early appearance. Senator McNeil informed the com mittee that all the petitioners were known to him personally, and that the enterprise was sound and legiti mate, without a suspicion of specula tive taint, and that in his judgment it was a worthy project, deserving of support. Attorney Robert J. Woodruff, pro secutor in the New Haven County Criminal Common Pleas court, ap peared as counsel : for the organiza tion, and after - introducing himself in his capacity, he presented F6rmer Senator Moses W. Manwaring, one of the organizers of the company. ; Mr. 'Manwaring ald he had con- Lferred with many business men of the Bast Side who agreed with him upon the urgent need of a banking Institu tion In East Bridgeport. There are two or three hundred concerns in the section, and for a long time they have sought just such an accommodation as the new company seeks to pro-vide.- The organi?ers, he pointed out. are well known men. " . ' Chairman Whiton asked about the relative amount of cash, with which other Bridgeport banking institutions had started business calling atten tion to the $50 000 paid in capital with which the East Bridgeport Trust Co. 'plans to start business. Asked .If there would be objection to the com mittee's limiting the time for start ing business to Dec. 1, 1912, Former Senator Manwaring said he believed there would be no objection to such a provision. Eugene I Sullivan, the well known East Bridgeport merchant, said the nection the bank would serve con tained a population of 40,000. His concern does a busness of T60.000 a year. It is a hardship upon him and other merchants to have to go over to Bridgeport proper to do banking. He said he knew he voiced the senti- f..iv f v,,,fnegs nien when ha asked the committee to consider ta-on lavorably, Mr. Sullivan, in response to in quiries. said there is no bank in East Bridgeport and that the company has a site in mind, that it Is believed will pro'e suitable to the needs of the new bank. J. B. Lyford told the, committee' he has been in business Jn Ea?t Bridge port for 18 years, and that during that period his concern as well ;is others in the section have in part as sumed the functions of a bank.chang ing large bills on pay days, cashing checks and the like. East Main street Is coming to mean to East Bridgeport what Main street means to Bridgeport proper, said he and the business interests of the thriving com munity need a banking institution. Senator Piatt of Watef bury got a laugh when he acked Mr. Lyford If the drawbridges were a hardship up on the. East Side merchants when they planned to go over town to bank. Apparently the Waterbury member has been readirle of th-s tribulalA Qf the Park -City with its i drawbridges. Representatives Bent and Meltzer told the committee they were pleased to have the opportunity to endorse the application of a body of such rep resentative Brldgeporters. The hearing icloed without opposi tion. Chairman Whiten several times spoke of the $50,000 as being rather small to start business, and , before closing the hearing asked the peti t'onerf If thero would be any objec tion to the committee's making sug gestions In its report. Attorney "Wood ruff said his clients were in earnest and would be glad should the com mittee make any suggestions, to re ceive them. R HETTM A TT ?
