The Burlington FREE PEEss which, despite
its intense partisanship, is oneof the clcancst
and most conscientious papers in the State,
admits that our taxation is outrageous. We
have no doubt, il saN-. that more property
escapes taxation IN Vermont, and that more
practical injustice is wrought in the listing
OF failure 10 list personal property in this
State than in any other New England State,
and perhaps more than any Stale in the
Union" This is the fact The census
statistics. though not "A fully reliable basis of
calculation, show beyond all reasonable ques-
ton that there are but two States if any, in
the Union, which permit 50 much Of their
wealth to he exempted in one way or another
as Vermont. "A taxpayers list OF personal
property in two cases out Of three, is not a
statement of what BE- has liable to taxation,
but of what he is TiLiHg 10 be taxed on,
says the FREE Pass, and it looks for the
chief remedy in the requirement of each
taxpayers oath To his list, but does not call
for the taxation of church property, manu-
featuring establishments, bank SURPRISES and
trust companies, which are the most vital
reforms. The FREE pEEs7 says that it has
10 great hope Of any reform being attained
until Legislature is elected on That issue -
by an independent party, in IN independent
campaign, il should add Il'W3trDt C0untg
Retormer.
We would not postpone the reform till it
can be effected by al independent party, in
an independent campaign, for That would be
to put it of too long Independent parties
do not flourish in Vermont But there is no
reason why both and all parties should not
join hands to secure change demanded by
every consideration Of public interest.
