Waterbury, Jan. 12, —Rigid omy in state expenditures in order to lessen the burden of taxation mers, and more intelligent farm man- agement to produce increased returns from agriculture were advocated by J. Arthur Sherwood, master of the Conecticut State Grange in his an- nual address before that body which opened its annual three days’ session here today. Opposition to repeal of the personal tax law of the state was | degree, soon changing fourth. Th stat mastr, nounced a committec of s, ccon- also voiced. The gain in granges and member- ship during 1914 was gradual, but firm, it was stated. Two new granges were added, one at Southbury and one at Shelton. “While this may not seem a large gain,” said the state master, “‘still we must remember that our state is so well covered with grange halls that one within easy access of every farm home, and the opportunity to organize new anes is limited.” As showing the prosper- ous condition of the granges Mr. Sherwood * said that halls at Beacon Valley, Ekonk, Warren and Redding had been dedicated during the past year. Referring to the present ses- sion of the legislature and matters of legislation, he continued: Rates Too High. “Two years ago we opposed workmen's compensation bill as un- just to the smaller emplover. We believe today that the minimum rates charged by the insurance companies to the person who employs occasional help, are too high. I trust that some resolution will be presented at this session, which we may endarse, to help relieve the situation. “T understand an effort will be made at the coming session of the legis- lature to have the personal tax law repealed. This, to my mind, is one of the best laws to have and should stand. The tax is collected fram all citizens. whether voters or not, between the ages of 18 and 60, and the law {s so framed that it can be and js carried into effect. The law ought to breed a respect for govern- ment as every one who pays it is a part of the government, and will nat- urally set a higher value on it. Rigid Economy Necessary. “The enormously increased ex- penses of the state within the past few years have raised in many minds the question of whether the people were getting enough more than they formerly received, to account for the difference In cost. Values are In- creasing, our state is growing ma- terially richer from year to year, but the increase leaves us little better off if it is swallowed up in continually increased expenses. The inclination, if any exists toward lavish expendi- tures, must never be allowed to pre- vail. Public expenditures should be limited to the actual necessities of the state. Rigid economy is as much now as ever, an absolute necessity. The tax burden upon our farms is dif- ficult to meet. The income from our acres is none too great for the proper standard of living among our peo- ple.” Discussing the need of better farm management, Mr. Sherwood said: “T firmly believe our agricultural college is better equipped today for its work than ever before. The in- creased attendance is the best pos- sible proof that it is steadily increas- ing in the field of service and in- fluence over the coming generation. Depend Upon Agriculture. “Agriculture does not depend upon the other industries but industries depend upon agriculture for prosper- itv. Some of our great thinkers have the farmer must dou- the production on each of his acres in order to support our in- creasing population. While we have no fear of this for many years, yet it is necessary for the farmer to know how to increase his yield per acre to get a fair profit. Hence the im- portance of more intelligent management. plished in a better or more scientific way than by sending our boys and girls to receive the lessons as taught by our agricultural college. He also referred to the institute work during the year and said that the educational aid fund had been increased substantially dur- ing the vear by contributions from several of the granges is the ble plans for FOR THEFT. 12.—Salvatore of Montowese Judge B.

The overwhelming vote in the rule was by no means indicative of the sentiment on the resolution it- self. Many who voted for the rule in order to bring the question up for a yes and no vote announced their intention of voting nst the lution itself. Antis Claim Anti-suffragists claim the suffra- gists would not muster the necessary two thirds vote: the suffragists did not predict more than that the house would register a majority in favor of their proposition. The debate on ruie had ed, bringing support and opposition from all parties. The real debate which began at 1 o'clock with six hours to run, brought out the heav artillery of both sides and promised a vote some time after o'clock this evening.

A1l of the feminine forces that have taken part in the suffrage campaig were in evidence at the capitol today. The officers of the National American Woman's Suffrage association —and kindred organizations, and the off cers of the National ociation posed to Woman Suffrage, were as signed places in the galleries. Suf- fragists and anti-suffragists were on hand to sec the first legislative con- sideration of the question of suffrage | in congress.
