In effect the writer says that increased taxes are belng used -by property owners as an excuse for raising rents far above the amount of such increased taxes. If the own- er's taxes are raised $12 a’year and there are two tenants on his property, the rent of each tenant should not be raised more than 50 cents a month. As a matter of common knowledge a ‘$12 increase in taxes is sometimes ' ‘made the excuse for a $2 or more in- is of save money if we can, but above all things have coal for the winter. Of counse much depends upon what is done after August 31 when a new wage contract of miners will be made to replace the old one which expires on that day. And always the distinc- tion between the anthracite and the bituminous situation should be re- membered. Some time ago we had Roger Bab- son's statement that he did not be- lieve coal would be as expensive this winter as last, and that there would be more of it available. He said, moreover, that neither the miners or the operators wanted trouble. Then came the advice from Washington to buy coal as soon as possible, to be on the safe side; that there was quite apt to be trouble, This newspaper emphasized the importance of the expected report of the U, S. coal commission, suggesting that the coal interests would want the coal situa- tion free from appearance of trouble in order that the recommendations of that commission might not be too drastic as they would be if an immigration bably years while the people have been trying to do something.

In 1907 the office of deputy factory inspector was created. A commission of three women, who served without pay, was appointed by Governor Rollin 8, Woodruff for the purpose of selecting the proper wom- an for the position. After considering the qualifications of many candidates, the comimission selected Miss Corcoran hecause they belleved she would make good, In the 15 years during which she has been in the position, Miss Corcoran hus proved beyond question that she knows what the deputy fac- tory inspector should do, and she has done it. In the face of Miss Corcoran's splendid record, Mackenzie, playing a hold political game, has removed her from office. * This is an injustice to the woman as an individual, but it is a far greater injustice to the people of Connecticut who are paying Mac- kenzie's salary and who expect him to give full return for the money he spends, The case will not pass without creating disgust for such politics.
