VICTORY FOR ovs'rEn onowzns.
Tax Commissioner Corbin, of Con-
necticut, recommended to the General
Assembly a tax of three cents per hit-
shel on the oysters produced by the
growers on the oyster farms owned
and cultivated by them. The oyster
growers claimed that a tax propor-
tioned to production would be agalnst
public policy. in that it Would place a
direct burden upon enterprise and in-
dustry and be an encouragement to
neglect and indolent-e. says the Newt
Haven 'l‘iiues-lcadcr.

lion upon imported luxuries, and many
oven approve upon imports for protec-.
, tion of production in this country, but
‘ here was a reverse proposition to tax
so as to directly penalize production.
No far-seeing authority upon taxa-
llon approves such a principle. If the
principle of taxation on.i]lrodtictlon
werccipood one. it ougm to be applied5
‘to farmers, manufacturers and other
producers. it it is a wrong principle
, it ought not to be applied to any. it
was proposed lllllllll-Rt the oyster grow
era, but they are few. there being only
' one oyster grower in the House. and
none in the Senate. Mr. Corbin did
not propose applying such a principle
to farnflng. There are many farmers
ln‘the General Assembly; nor did he
propose it for manufacturers. they, too,
are well represented. but he recom-
mended the application of the princi-
. pie for oyster growers. The General
iAssembly, however. after long and
('9 nonreful consideration, decided not to
.adopt this new method of taxing the
oyster growers.
".3 . Mr. Corbin also proposed an equal
A assessment per acre upon all oyster
grounds. although some of them are
worth more than one hundred times
as much per acre as others. This was
W claimed to be, exceedingly unjust and
‘ lncquttahle, and was also defeated.
'l‘he.lust proposition of Mr. Corbin.
. and other opponents of the oyster
growers, was to raise their rate in
taxation from .15 mills to 17V; mills.
This was strongly opposed in the Sea-
ate and defeated. The reasons why
it should be defeated were presented
In a statement which was sent to ean
of the senators by Henry C. hows.
- president of the Connecticut Oyster
‘ ilrowera’ association, published on an-
othor page of this issue.
lipoll these facts tho Senate rejected
the lncreuso of 15 mills'to 17% mlill.
and left the rate of taxation as it has
~ been since 1893.
The only foundation for this agitn‘
tlon was lilo claim that the clerk of
, ‘Iholl fisheries had failed to assess the
, , oyster [rotunda at a sufficiently high
” rate. This was true with reference
w» -~
years ago a practical oyster grower
. was asked to make the assessments.
"aha according to the printed report of
“Mr. Corbin, this oyster grower raised
‘ the assessments from 200 to 600 per
cent. The only difficulty has been ac
cording to Mr. Corbln‘s statement. that
the clerk of the shell fisheries was in-
competent to matte these assessments,
t as soon as an oyster grower was
called upon to do so. according to Mr.
Demo's printed report, the users-
inonts ware doubled. and the tax was
raised by the not of this oyster grower
in about $1.00 per year to about
too. ~

I think this gentle soul of him
Goes softly in some garden
place,
With the old smile time may not
dim,
Upon his face.
Hewho was lover of the spring.
Withvlove that never quite for-
gets.
Surely sees roses blossoming
And violets.
Now that his day of toil it} thru.
I love to think he sits at case.
With some old volume that he
knew
Upon his knees.
Watching. perhaps. with quiet
eyes
The white clouds drifting ar-
gossy;
0r twilight opening llower~wise
On land and sea.
He who so loved companionship
I may not think he walks alone.
Failing some friendly hand to slip
Within his own.
Those whom he loved atoretime,
still.
I doubt not, bear him company;
Yea, even laughter yet may thrill
Where he may be.
A thought. a fancy. who can tell
Yet I who ever pray it so.
Feel thru my tears that all is
well;
And this I know-—
That God is gentle to His guest
And. therefore, may I gladly
say.

it is not surprising that Mr. Corbin.
able as he is, should have failed of
a complete understanding of the oy-
ster industry. But we are surprised
that he should have recommended a
flat assessment upon all oyster
grounds. when shine are worth one
hundred times as much as others, and
still more surprised that he should
have recommended a tax upon product
per bushel which is directly contrary
to the principles accepted by every au-
thority upon taxation.
