Shertly-after opening the third day's session of the Connecticut Patrons of Husbandry Thursday at New Lenden, the State grange was declared at rest, while Mayor-Congressman Bryan F. Mahan was, ushered to the speaker’s platform. The mayor, who is not a granger, but who hopes to be some day, according to his own statement, was privilesed to witness installation ceremonies. Afterwards he addressed the delegates and at 1230 gave a dinner at the Crocker house to officers of the State grange. There were forty suests, including wives and husbands ©of the officers. Mayor Mahan has been busler than usual since the State grange opened and deplored his inability to formally welcome the grangers Tuesday night. So mary of them wanted him to come ta the convention that he put aside other matters and went to Lawrence Ball. His introduction was _greeted with loud applause and the close of his speech was the signal for similar ap- rpobation. State Master Sherwood in- iroduced the mayor, who sald: Son of a Farmer. “I especially wanted to be here in DerSon to thank the members of your srange in the last legislature for what htey Gid in the interests of New Lon- don. When I suggested an appropria- tion for the development of New Lon- don harbor, which, by_the way, is to be one of the finest in teh world, I yeceived their hearty co-operation. T Delieve this is the beginning of a great development for this section of ~the state, so that in the end all of Con- necticut will come to be a greater industrial center. “When we come to consider the of ihe highwXy department of tate in building fine roads and he improvement of the au- tomobile, the delivery of electricity to rural aistricts, so that your homes may be well lighted, your farm ma- chinery operated by it, the future of the farmer seems never to have been brighter. I heard that Mr. Rogers, in welcoming you here, spoke of his in- terest in your work through being the on of a farme: of a farmer and T am proud of it. My father tilled the soil in Ireland, and he could not become a land- owner there he came to these United States. Here he labored as a farmer, which may account for my never en ing desire to own a farm. Now, I am happy to say, I possess a farm of 120 acres, and 1 espect before your next session to be eligible to membership in_your order. 1 am glad here and want to assure them that we have just begun to trim up and Leautify our city. In keeping with this movement we are about to com- mence the beildings of the Connec- ticut College for Women, where you your daughters and have I was glad to be able to witness this beautiful instaBation.

Corbin’s Recommendation—Mayor Mahan Gave Delegates’ Wel- seer Charles T. Dayls of Middletown, who were elceted Wednesday to fill vacancies, were installed. Worthy ‘High Priest of Demeter Gaunt in- stalled the officers, assisted by Mrs. Hubert Brockett of North Haven, act- ing as lady assistant steward. The State grange was opened again in the fourth degree and the reports of committees were taken up. Recess ‘was taken at 12.30 for dinmer and the, resumptien of unfinished business be- gan at 2 o'clock. Taxation Committee’s Report. The most important action taken by the State srange in Thursday's session ‘was the adoption of the report of the recess committee on taxation. This committee—J, Norris Barnes, L. M. Reed and G. C. Beckwith—made an extensive report. It urged that the legislative and executive committees of the Conneéticut grange work in the present legislature for reforms as recommended. The report commended the attitude of Tax Commissioner Corbin. who de- clares the tax laws do not have suffi- cient scope in that they make it pos- sible to tax only property in sight of the law, It recommends the appoint- ment of a state official, co-operating with 1088 boards, to fix values; the doing away with the state tax as soon as suficlent income may be derived from property not now accessible to local assessment units; the adoption of an income tax law similar to that in’ Wisconsin. 3 The - necessity of equalizing grand lists by the additions of lump sums was characterized as bringing about unfair valuation conditions. ‘Bach town should be free and independent of such taxation methods, but a state representative to secure more equit- able grand lists would provide the remedy. Recommendations made in Com- missioner Corbin’s report for 1912 are endorsed in the resolution of the com- mittee on taxation. These recommend- ations are: The appointment of a special com- mission of five to consider the general taxation laws. The repeal of the present inherit- ance tax law and enactment of laws like New York and Massachusetts. An annual franchise or corporate excess tax on all domestic corporations not paying direct tax. An amendment to public acts, lim- iting land for forest purposes entitled !to tax exemption to that of a value less than $10 per acre. A specific provision for the taxation {of the property of private water sup- to see so many ladies | DY companies, alsa dams and res- ervoir improvements of al companies. H. C. Dunham of Middlstown Te- ported for the Patrons’ Mutual Fire insurance. His report showed that the institution was in flourishing condi- ton. It had taken sixty new risks in the year, bringing the number up to Dbetween 500 and 600. The convention closed in the after- noon. The gathering was beneficial to the grangers, for they discussed mat- ters in which they were interested in the way of business and attended to their duties as grangers with earnest- ness. The degree work of the grange was. pronounced excellent by all who witnessed the impressive ceremony. The addresses were among the most interesting and instructive the grange has ever provided.

Washington, Jan. 16.—The mailing of babies by parcel post is a real in. fant industry which Postmaster Gen- eral Hitchcock is asked to foster. In the circumstances of his bachelor- hood Mr. Hitcheock is considering se- riously the calling into consultation of experts in the transportation of bables as a letter which he recetved today presents to him a mafl problem with which he is quite unfamiliar. To add to his embarrassment, the letter con- tains a note of genuine pathos which appeals strongly to the postmaster general. This is the letter, identically as it was phrased and punctuate Tort McPherson, Ga-Postmaster Gen- eral, Washington, D, C. 1 have been corresponding with a party in Pa, about getting a baby to rais (our home being without One) May 1 ask you what specifications to se in wrapping o it (baby) would comply with regulations and be allow- ©d shipment by parcel post as the ex- 0. are to rough in handling, ours, The name signed to the letter is Withheld at the request of Mr. Hitch- cock.
