Another illustration of How Unfair
The Assessment System. As Con-
‘tilicted, is To Small Pro-
‘ party Owners.
, .liow unjust our present tax uys~
u‘tem of assessment for town taxes is.
Mid all against the interests of the
small property owners in favor of the
big ones. is forcibly illustrated by the
personal property lists. .
Little wondor that some of the big
. property owners do not come forward
and protest that the assessors have}
used them unfairly in increasing their
lists.
The little fellow who has been pit-
j‘tletltly tolling along with his small
home. has had his place in the list at.
I fill] value. There has been no doubt
‘lll that score. Frequently those small
.‘ . spoofed have sprung up on rocky patch-
‘oirtliat for years have been consider-
ed worth but a very few dollars per
. J acre. Just as soon as the little houses
have gone up they have been put in-
to the list at $1,000 to $1.200 or there-
. abouts, depending. on the opinion of
the assessors. The protest. of the own-
er against discrimination in
i ' favor of his more opulent
brother has been exactly as potent,
,“as the command of (,‘unuto, tho Dun-
‘ ish king, who ordered the son to mil
hack. Likewise, tilts salno little pro
. perty owner. has no voice of power in
swearing off his personal property.
He hasn't so very much porsonal pro-
perty to swear off. The assosror's
task to estimate how much his houso»
hold furniture. for instance, is worth.
has been a small one.
Take the ease of this woll-fo-do- bro~
titer on the other hand. We are orodi-
,4 labiy informed by a party who has in-
? ventilated that. sonn- pooplo are cur-

BOSS HAWLEY.
The opposition to the re-eloctlon of
Sidney E. Hawtey. of Bridgeport, as
sheriff of Falrfleld County. is attract-
ing attention outside of the county.
Anyone at all cognizant of the situa-
tion cannot but help realize how od-
ious it has become to the Republicans
who have tho smallest spark of inde-
pendonreto have the ilnwloy machine
continue to make sues ’bralien efforts
to continue in control.
Referring to a declaration that if
Congressman it}. J. Hill remains pas-
sive. hlu friends will got bark good
and hard at Hawloy. the Bridgeport
Farmer says:
"in other words. Congressman Hill
must speak out loudly and firmly for
Sheriff Hawloy, or his (lilll'nl friends
'will certainly get baok good and
hard.’ The sheriff's fate depends.
than. upon whether Mr. iilll ‘romalns
passive.‘ for it is inconceivable that
he could be re-olectod without. the aid
of the Hill Republicans.
hand. can Mr. Hill be rel-elected with-
out. the votes of the liawloy Republi-
cans?
Of a verity, Mr. Hill's position
'nniquo.’ He must ‘turn the other
olieelt.’ already roddenod and swollen
from Hawloy blows. or he must talto
a risk. Possibly. he may believe him-
self strong enough to withstand Haw-
loy retaliation. and ‘remnlu passive.’
The Hartford Times sums up the
Hnwley situation as follows:
“There are some people who say that
Sheriff i‘lawley will have the fight
of his life‘ to secure a ronomlnailon.
The friends of the shorlff admit that
his genius as a political manager will
be put to a sovoro test to defeat tho
