Emmons of Philidelphia, widow of Orsen J. Emmons, who was working here in October, 1920, for a building contrac- tor at the United State Fininshing Co. plant in Greeneville, has just been made by Cimmissioner J. J. Donohue.in a work- men’s compensation claim which Mrs. Emmons made against the construction on account of the death of her husband. The claim is settled on a compromise basis. Emmons was in the employ of Day and Zimmerman, Inc., of Philadel- phia at the time of his death. Brown and Perkins represented the widow at the hearing before the commissioner. In his compromise finding and award, Commissioner Donohue says in part: The employe in question, Orsen J. Em- mons, was employed by the respondent employer on Oct. 4, 1920, at the plant of the United States Fininsh Co., in Nor- wich where the, respondent company held a_contract to perform in the construc- tion line, and on the day Emmons re- ceived an injury to his head which was sufficient to disable him until Oct. 18, 1920 when he resumed work for the com- pany. On Nov. 11, 1920, he was oblized to quit work because of some trouble that he was experiencing with his ear and .on Nov. 14 he was taken to the hospital for an operation for brain ab- scess, and bis death followed on the next day, Nov. 15, 1920. A hearing was rejuested to determine whether there was any casual connection between injury and death in this case. At the hearing medical evidence was introduced and the ‘case was informally discussed and at the suggestion of the commissioner an opportunity was given the attorneys to confer regarding the possibility of reaching a settlement of the case by compromise in vView of the great element of doubt as to whether or not the injury was or was not a contrib- uting cause of the decedent’s death. While it is possible that the injury re- ceived by the decendent on Oct. 4, 1920 might have been a contributing cause in producing death, still the element of doubt i6 so great that it would be im- possible from medical testimony to draw an award which would do full justice to either side, and the parties hereto, realiz- ing the elements of doubi confronting us in the present case, after due delibera- tion, have reached a compromise, namely that the claimant shall receive $3,000 in full settlement of her claim. The attor- neys have therefore requested that the award be drawn in conformity with said compromise, Commissioner Donohue according- 1y makes the finding and award to that effect., The claimant assumes the pay- ment of all medical, surgical and hos- pital bills and funeral expenses.

Chappell Co., owner of building occupied by Foran & Son, stimated the valuation of the building he is at a th between $60,000 and $70,000. He said the building was erected some 30 years ago at a cost of about $30,000. Mr. Chappell said that provided the: larger portion of the walls are usable that the insurance carried on the structure will cover their loss, The Foran Company's stock was among the largest retail stocks of fur- niture and furnishings in the state. In the basement and on the first floor there were stored about 500 stoves. On the t floor there was also a general stock of household utensils, crocker; silver and plated ware, kitchen appliances, and a_display of summer porch furniture and similar stock. On the second floor the bulk of the rugs, linoleums, dining room set and the like were stored. Some of the Oriental rugs carried by the com- pany were ag highly priced as $1.500 to $1.600 ez Some of the dining reom and bed room sets were of great value, running from $200 to $1,000 a set. On the third floor was most of the bed room and parlor sets. Mattresses, chairs and numerous articles, such as baby carriages, high chairs and other nursery furnishings were on the fourth floor. Washing machines, vacuum cleaners, musical instruments, etc. were among the valuable things with which the com- pany was well stocked. Practically all the stock was fresh goods and up-to- date and very little of it now is worth the cost of cleaning, scouting or any attempt at salvaging. FIGHT IS ON OVER FEES IN COM.

Protests are| ROTARIANS GIVE APPROVAL TO THE TURNOYV About 40 Rotarians and a guests, with several visiting Rotarians from New London, attended the weekly noonday luncheon of the Norwich Rotary club on Wednesday at the Wauregan ho- tel. The meeting was one of unusual in- terest, as taxation was the subject under discussion, taxation rclative to the turn- over tax and sales tax. The discussion was led by Charles R. Butts, who In charge of the meeting, and stating ¥ he favored a turnover tax, said: Rather than.ask son ne to come here i 21k to ycu I have decidel te say al little something myseif, with the hope if not expectation that it may =t you to thin| and so lead to nrofitable dis- cussion.

Mos: of the fault found was with what we paid lo- cally, namely, to our own town aad city, those being practically ths direct taxes which were paid by most of us. Now, however, I think all of us are will- ing to concede that up to that time we had little foundation for complaint. Since then we have had handed to us one after another-federal and state per- sonal income—corporation income—capi- tal and excess profit—luxury—on many | things which we wear, eat and drink— ihe and other entertainment admis-| isions—transportation, freight, - fare Pullman and ping car service, cte., et 1l of which we paid ch fully as long-as we were at war and in necessity of a great income by our gov- | ernment. jwere great 10 devise a {tem of conditions changed that existing statutes not provide the necessary revenue, nor will our people longer put up with the [trouble, annoyance and expense involved in the present system. It is proposed to do away witn mary lof the taxes now levied, reduce some of the others and provide the necessary income to cover a reasonable budget of { our government by the collection of a turnover tax. You will please note that cd the word “turnover” and not les.” This proposition with which and warmly advocate. turnover tax I mean turnover or sale of any or merchandise. A sales tax I understand as one on a sale to a con- sumer—presumably by a retailer. One great objection to a tax on ra- tail sales only is that as Mr. Kahn savs i certain and workable defini- tion retail sale defies the resources of logy the costly war experiments taxation both in this count and elses where two useful conclusions can be drawn, These are that in the matter of burden upon those least ahle to pay taxes, namely, those of moderate or lit tle income, the excess profit tax i bad one, while the turnover tax £o0d one.

This, however, would not be just as it seems at first glance, as this corpora- tion as well as almost all of the great combines are made up of a number of unit companies, and intercompany deal- ings should of course be treated as turn- overs or sales. It is also objected that the turnover tax would be pyramided or accumulated many times from the sale by the pro Aucer of the raw materials down through the and in in was impossible {ahead what ithe collec in It regu- or ca- The rich i various, many instances, great number of processes involved in its assembly and completion as an article ready or fit for use or consumption. Grant that this tax is pyramided or accumulated, to what would it amount?

It is made ef leather which from the hide of the ried out during steer requires the use in tanning, col- oring, polishing, etc, of a great variety of chemicals, dyes, etc., and the cotton, linen, silk, rubber, steel, brass, etc., pass through many hands and processes be- fore they are offered for your use as foot wear. Now it ig estimated by an authority in which I have confidence ' and whose detail computation 1 have examined, that a tax of 1 per cent .on each sale of the materials entering into the pair of shoes, from the producer of the raw materials down to that of the retailer, of whom you bought, would amount to, what per cent. of the price which you paid do you think? A trifie over 3 1-2 per cent, certainly not 4 per cent. To my mind one of the great advan- tages of a turnover tax is that once in force and the machinery for its collec- tion in operation it can easily be ad- justed to meet changed conditions by in- creasing the rate if more revenue is needed, and by reducing it if at a time of great and general prosperity it pro- vides more tha nis' necessary. It can be collected at frequent Inter- vais, even monthly if it seems best. and so provide a continual flow of funds in- to the national treasury. theceby avoid- ing a congestion of payments and a consequent tightening of the money mar- ket.

Now I will try to answer any ques- tions and be very glad to hear your comments. either in favor of or in op- position to a turnover tax. Following Mr. Butts' views on the mat- ter, a lively discussion followed in which several of the members took part. the eentiment being in favor of Mr. Dutts' ideas.
