Funeral Director and Embalmer Prompt service day or night Tel. 642-2. Lady Assistant A face to face talk such as any can- didate ought to be pleased to give was what Prof. Willard C. Fisher of Mid- dletown called the address he gave in the town hall on Monday might be- fore an audience of 100 men to whom he explained the things he stood for in seeking to secure from the democrats the nomination for governor. In a <concise way he laid stress on half a dozen particular points as he spoke for over an hour and a half. Professor Fisher came here at the invitation of the Central Labor union to speak upon the topic Laboy’s Inter- est in the 1914 Campaign. President Willlam Fitzgerald of the union called the meeting to order about 8.15 o'clock, shortly after Professor Fisher had been escorted from an ante room to the platform by the president and members of the committee of ar- rangements, which included Walter T, Spalding, Rudolph Krohn and Tracy R. Burdick. Secretary Francis Clish of the C. L. U. and; Florence J. Delancy also occupied seats on the platform. In opening the meeting and intro- ducing Professor Fisher, President Fitzgerald said he was glad to see such an intelligent and appreciative audience in the hall to hear Professor Fisher, whom the Central Labor union had brought here. He said he felt 't an honor to be able to introduce Pro- fessor Fisher to a Norwich audience. Professor Fisher ke i Pt spoke in part as Encouraged by Norwich Invitation. It would be unfair alike to you and to me should I not tell you of my high appreciation of the invitation Wwhich brought me here and of the wel- come which you have given me. In ihis our struggle for the peoples’ rights the enemy is becoming daily more fierce and more bitterly determined to preserve his privilizes. Never doubt fhat a great fight is on. No one thing has gone more to cheer and encourage me than the unexpected notice of YQur invitation which I received upon returning home to Middletown a week g0 last Thursday. I had just had ex- perience of the hesitation, the timidty of some whose early and unsought pleds- es of support han encouraged me to enter the fight. The message from Norwich was indeed heartening. It fixe my purpose beyond changing. 1 vowed that afternoon, as I vow now, never to leave the fight, whatever may be dts prospects of good or ill for m And so T am here frankly and open- Iy as candidate for the democratic nomination for governor. Remember that T am not seeking the office chief- ly for the great honor which goes with it, nor at all for any antic pated Sleasure in facing its very dif- ficult duties. There are very grave problsms of public policy which must be faced by the next governor of Con- necticut. Not for many a year have there been so many serious problems to be solved by our state government. In regard to all these I have ideas of 11‘|y own. I believe that the voters of Connecticut would approve and sup- port me, could they but know just what I would undertake to do for them. But perhaps they would not. ! “Gum Shoe” Campaigns. Perhaps other candidates have con- victions and purposes more to the people's liking. Certainly all candi- dates must have some clegr convie- tions and some definite purposes; else they would not presume to stand for the headship af the state. And none should wish to conceal from the peo- ple his purposes as they affect the people’s interests and welfare. have tried to bring for governor before like this. But they will have none of ‘They pre- fer to do their canvassing less open- y So 1 ther candidates Everywhere I go there are reports of “gum shoe” campaigns for their mil- lionaire and for that corporation lob- byist. But the days when a man in politiés can gain by concealment, known concealment, and when an honest man in politics can lose by openness have pretty much passed away. Compensation Act Changes. Professor Fisher passed on to speak of the workmen's compensation act of 1913, which with all its imperfections he said, is the most beneficial piece of legisiation Connecticut has seen within a full century of time. It marks a_good beginning in a great policy of “social justice distributing among those suffering through indus- trial accidents five times as much as was distributed before, under _anti- quated systems of so-called employ- ers’ liability. But the compensation law must bo improved. It never suit- ed me altogether; and even the brief period since its enactment has given us experience, in Connecticut as well as in other states, to warrant chang- es. 1 had to draft its general provi- sions under definite requirements and prohibitions from the legislative ocm- mittee which had the bill in charge. Upon one change I feel pecularly bound to insist. It was not the pur- pose or understanding to malke the act apply to small employers. to these em- ploying merely casual labor or employ- ing less than five persons regularly. Never mind now about the underlying reasons for_excluding these small em- ployers. There is_something to be said on both sides. But the obligations of simple sood faith are inexorably binding upon all honest men. After the bill had been printed, and just before it was to come into the senats for passage, I saw that a certain change of phrase at one point might be necessary to make the exclusion of.small employers unmistakably sure. At once I sent to the four chairmen, of the judiciary and labor in senate and house, an amendment. appropriate trifling It was judged not nec- it was not adopted or ke. Labor has, I hold, a clear interest in the promp abolition of the personal tax of $2. It is most unbusiness- like tax, costing ten times as much For Skin Troubles use Glenn’s Sulphur Soap. No other toilet soap is as-efficient in clearing the complexion of blemishes— sallow, oily or itchy skin, blackheads, pim- ples, and hives.

It yields but little revenus less than half a million out of some $19,000,000 of public revenues in Con- necticut in 1912; and only about $168,- 000 goes to the state government, where the need for funds is greatest. Other sources of larger and better income could be developed. The personal tax cannot, in—the na- ture of the case, have any such effects as have been made tie basis for its Justification. Nor is the tax needeed to get from the greatest number of those without property their fair contribution to the expensés of government. Already these bear-at least their fair share of the burdens of taxation, taking the whole system of American taxation to- gether, as it must be taken in estimat- ing ité fairness. Doubtless iliere are thousands of workers in Connecticut who can pay this personal tax without the least hardship. Doubtless there are thous- ands who waste every year much more than the amout of the tax. Grant there remain thousands of others for whom, in these days of high prices, every two dollars means much, thous- ands who, in a fair use of terms, can- not afford to pay the tax. Abolish Contract Labor, Labor, too, has a peculiar interest in the abolilion of contract labor in cur jails and the state prison at Wethersfield. _ Lc# there be no con- fusion here. There is no poposal to keep the prisoners in demoralizing and expensive idleness. Employment of the right sort and under the right condi- tions, is the one most wholesome in- fluence to be applied to prisoners. But certain great facts do remain to be emphasized. Wherever the la- bor of the prisoner is sold to private contractors, to be utilized for their profit, a part of the control of the prisoniers, public wards as there are, is turned to private authority. Any such division of control interferes with the best prison policy and administra- tion. And such division as the con- tract labor system carries spurs the contryctor to seek his highest possi- ble profit by the fullest exploitation of the labor he has bought. It is not merely, then, that the contract labor system subordinates disciplinary and reformative control to pecuniary profit: it does not even alow this profit to accrue to the public. Here are the most serious and mever-to-be-cured vices of the contract labor system in prisons. State’s Finances in Desperate Condi- tion. Professor Fisher passed on to an ex- tended consideration of the state's fi- nances which he said were in a des- perate condition. At the close of the fiscal year 1907, September 30, there was no mnet debt: but the state had a cash balance of §265,470. ~ Six years later the honded debt had become $7,000,000, while en- ormous borrowings at the banks had raised the total debt to $8.493,668. Nor is there any indication that the end is_here, or, even near. So far as’cxpenditures go the trouble has not been because so much has been undertaken but because the work had been done so badly. To be sure there has been a complete absence of sound and comprehensive financial policy. Appropriations have been asked and made, here and there, for this service and for that, with only the slightest consideration, if any at all, of the relative Importance of the sev- eral services or of the amount of mon- ey available. The greater the likeli- hood of a shortage the greater the eagerness to pluck off the wished-for ount at once. Appropriations are asked and made in sums which it is known will not be adequate to cover the need. When the Board of Control, four men only, Governor, Treasurer, Comptroller and_ Attorney Gener: make outright additions, or even tal from one service for another, thus pullifying at times the will of the general assembly. The Railroad Problem. No problem will tax the courage and the strength of the next state admin- istration more than the problem of the railroad. None will call more loudly for prompt, courageoue, honest, and energetic solution. In_part all now know the story of the New Haven road but to the dark- est aspect of this sad story must your attentlon be turned. These devious and dark courses have been followed. these cruel wrongs have lwen perpe- trated. these crimes have been com- miited, not by men of known base- ness; but all this has been done by men of high reputation,_ by men whose names have been sounded to us year after year as the very symbols of wis- dom and_honor. Could anything be worse? To a man not quite vold of honest ptinciples nothing would be a prompter and more commanding sum- mons and stimulos to do the right and shun the wrong than _the knowledge that people generally trust him, believing him strong and honest. To betray such a trust is the blackest depth of infamy. What now have been the relations between these culprits and our state government? To read the lines of the testimony presented to the federal investigators and of their report we, here in_Con- necticut, might feel relieved. To be sure. there was a_ general confession of “looking after” legislatures and the lobbyist-in-chief for Connecticut was named and priced, in Mr. J. Henry Roraback at $5,000 a legislative ses- sion. But Connecticut is not named| among the states in which evidence of criminal conduct was turned over to the prosecuting officers. Perhaps we, although surrounded on all sides by areas of crime and public corruption, have preserved the integrity of our Dublic offices. Perhaps so. Perhaps the case is very different_and is ex- plained on the principal that there is no larceny where you have a license to steal. It is always best to speak in definite terms. And, in order to avoid vague- ness, 1 shall not mention tonight, ex- cept by brief incidental reference, other relations of the railroad than are seen in the levy and collection of the taxes upon raiiroads. Tn a brief, general and somewhat helpful way T might tell you that the state sets out to tax the railroads up- on the value of their capital ,but that so many conditions and exceptions are made that In the end, more specifical- ly by chapter 283 of the acts of 1911, the railroads pay about what they like to pay, or at least the New Haven road does. Whatever the Railroad Wants. Naturally this very comfortable ar- rangement for the rallroad is not as among Take two only. acts of 1805 the company is to deduct from its capital for taxa- tion whatever amounts have been other rafiroad in this state, provided that the rall. road acquired is taxed here. Plausi- ble enough is it not? Yet the amount cut oft/ is_regularly more than _the value of the acquired lines. That is one of the Incidental advantages of watering stock. The deductions are made at the nominal or par vaiue of the capital issued, while the acquired property is taxed only at its real value if_at all. Under authority of this law the New Haven road in 1911 struck off from its capital for taxation $40,000,000 on ac count of the Connecticut company whereas the Connecticut company was taxed on only $26,000,000. In 1910 on account of the Rhode Island company, not taxed here at 11 and valued by the Massachusetts authorities at $6.000.000, the New Haven people struck off $24, 000,000. In 1912 there was a deduction, of '$68,000,000 on account of the New England Navigation company, a com- pany paying no taxes whatever to the state of Connecticut and only small lo- cal taxes with the state. What Is To Be Done. Enough now about the situation. What is to be done about it? Sever- al_things must be done. First and promptly the railroad con- trol of government must be ended, completely ended, for good and all. They now tell us that the raliroad will not Interfere with legislation in 1915 and thereafter. Doubtless it will not be conspicious in 1915. Its iniquities have aroused too great a heat of pub- lic indignation, Let Tre Light In. From many quarters comes the cry, “Let the railroad alonme, give it a chance to restore itself.” We are told by thouse in high position In the state government and in the business world that badgering and harrying by the government have been the sourse of all our woes. Nothing is farther from the truth. Let the light in. Mr. Elliott, the present head of the New Haven company, won applause a while ago by reminding us that yo cannot expect a hen to lay many eg#s if you keep chasing her around the barn for the pleasure of hearing her squawk. That is quite true. But it your hen has stolen her nest, you have a natural and proper curiosity to follow her and learn who has been enjoying the eggs. The railroad has been let alone too much. Government inquiry has not affected adversely any proper business of the railroad or re- duced its revenues. The real disas- ters have been caused solely by mal- administration and misconduct by its officers. Civil and Criminal Actions. Civil and criminal actions should be started and pushed with energy where- ever those involved in the lootinz of the railroad property can be hdid re- sponsible. It would be unpleasant for the wealthy and respected gentlemen who have taken or given the money of the rallroad and i\ share-holders unlawfully, if their fortunes should be exacted in penalty for their misdeeds. But it has been unpleasant for share- holders, rich and poor, to have their money fiiched away. It would be still more unpleasant for these wealthy and respected gentlemen should they be put in Wethersfield for terms of years. There must be no feeling of vin- dictiveness agajnst the wealthy and the eminent as such. Nor must there be any immunity for them. The Greatest Problem. The last problem which Professor Fisher said be should consider he deemed the greatest, for it was the problem of the ages. This is the prob- lem of government of the people by the people, and for the people, which Lincoln prayed might flourish on the earth. Let them not mislead you by telling you that already we have such a Rovernment and that he is u dangerous disturber who would teach you other doctrine. The whole body and spirit of- Connecticut government is undem- ocratic, unpopular. In 1912 the rail- road cecured an unlawful deduction of $10,860 from its taxes, simply by ask- ing the Board of Equalization for the favor. The board at that time was made up of Mr. Corbin of Hartford, Mr. Bradstreet of Thomaston, and Mr. Costello Lippitt of Norwich.” Would any or all of these three gentiémen have given you anything off your taxes? Insquality in Laws. Note how our iegislatures penalize offenses against the law. Except for one point I will go no further back than the general assembly of 1913. Note the classes upon whom the pen- alties are likely to fall and the classes for whose protection the laws are de- signed. - For the fraudulent issue or use of a street car transfer the penalty may be $50 fine or thirty days’ impris- onment, or both. This was arranged satisfactorily in 1899; and so it has been allowed to continue. Here follow some penalties established by the last general assembly. For omitting to re- port occupational diseases, a fine of $10; for violating the law against em- ploving women or minors more than hours a week a fine of $20; for knowingly employing womes in fac- tories within four. weeks of confine- ment $25 or 30 days. or both: for snaring animals not less than $25 nor more than $50; for the fllegal taking of hares or rabbits $50; for metting smelts in Palmer's or Baker's cove or the Poquonnoc river in Groton $25; for being a tramp a year's imprison- ment; for saving false derogatory to a vank $500 fine or a year's imprison- ment or both. Here is equality for you! In Fight To Stay. In conclusion, Professor Fisher sald that he was the fight and in the fight he should remain, and not mere- ly for this campalgn. “I neither ask nor deserve any ap- plause,” he said. “T ame here because T had rather be here than elsewhere. It is a higher pleasure to work one's self out in & good cause than to follow ease and ccmfort. So I neither need nor want your consideration. Your trust and your affection would be a support. But, above all else, I want your help. And this help T ask, not primarily or neecessarily for my own elevation in- to office, but for the awakening of our people. s But there may be other men whose honesty, strength, and courage can stand every test, and whose convicitins and purpeses will be wiser than mine. If so. then by all means let us fall to and endow the best of these with the powers of the governor's office. The fight is vours. The speaker was applauded at sev- eral points in his speech and Florence 3. Delaney i2d a cheer which was, giv- en him at the close. ‘When discussing the contract labor. system, Professor Fisher spoke of the tactics of certain newspapers against him, one calling him the “mysterious” professor who makes vague statements and won't let us know what he is driv- ing at. To which he had replied by sending a letter to the Hartford Times Stating that he would send them an answer on any points upon which plain as a pike-staff in the statute books. That would not do. And timt is not the kind of work that Mr. Rob- bins, the general counsel of the com- pany, is hired to do. And he can do very ‘much better than that He can zive one of his statutes a superfi- clal appearance of justice and yet in- sert in it whatever the rallroad wants. The laws of different dates and the they wanted to know his stand. “Of course you will print this” he had added to the letter, but it had not been printed. One crop that has outdone itself in ylelding this year is the huckleberry harvest. Never were the berries REPUBLICAN CALL FOR STATE CONVENTION. — Senator Brandegee 14 Preside—Jokn D.

You men who drink and you women who have drinking husbands and sons, should not postpone arranging for proper medical treatment, which is the only hope for drinking men, who are poisoned—not sick or willful—and Who should take the Neal Drink Habit Treatment, which is a safe vegetable remedy that removes the craving and necessity for drink in three days, with- out the use of hypodermig injections. If you desire to be sober men you must take the Neal Treatment. Call and talk it over with us. Get proof and references that will be convincing, or write or ’'phone for book of in- formation.
