AGAINST TAXATION.

M Editor IL notice that the revenue bill
Just reported by the ways and means committee
to the house proposes TO levy tax Of two per
cent on the gross receipts Of the mutual fire in
surance companies of the state This proposition
doubtless seemed equitable to the members Of
the committee from which II emanates, but little
investigation will serve to show its utter lack Of
foundation in justice, The mutual insurance
companies of the state have no capital, and Of
course no investments from which TO derive in
come, They are simply composed of such per-
sons as voluntarily associate themselves together
for mutual indemnity against loss by fire. The
directors and officers are only the servants of
these associated individuals, whom they annually
elect TO look after the details of their association

Raising Revenue.

We publish in another column copious
abstract of " An act TO provide revenue
for the payment of state expenses intro
duced in the house last week. If any per-
son has accused the committee OF ways and
means of dilatoriness, the systematic, COM
prehensive, well-digested and clearly-phrased
measure which has just come from its hands
will amply vindlcate it from all ill-advised
criticism. That the probe constructed by
this committee will reach sources of revenue
which have hitherto either been untouched
or have yielded an absurdly-inadequt sup.
ply, no one can doubt. That the committee
has been moderate and reasonable, just
and equitable, in its distribution of its at
tentious to the various corporate interests,
the recipients of its courtesies must inconti-
nently concede. 1t is hardly supposable
that there can be reasonable doubt as to
the legality of the proposed method OF as
sessing taxes on the various corporations
The constitution of the committee is an
assurance that it has founded its house upon
the solid rock of the law and the coDstitu-
ton, and that it will stand. That it is
perfect in every detail will hardly be con-
tended. That sharp critics will find oppor-
tunities to suggest amendments, and the
advocates of particular interests seek to
thrust an opposing lance through the joints
in its armor, is to be expected; but we pre-
dot tb OF II will p.sa the ordeal of battle
essentially unchanged and unframed. With
its passage will go that intricate system of
knavery and injustice-tbe county and
state equalizing boards, there will come
alightening of the burdens of individual tax
alton and that scandalous travesty on taxa
ton by state board of listers will not
again be enacted. The general assembly
has now before it another of the great meas
ures of the session, and, turning aside from
the driftwood scattered along the banks OF
the legislative stream, it should take vigor
ously hold of these vital matters and pilot
them to the executive chamber. This
measure, if passed, will create as radica
and as benefcent revolution in matters oil
taxation as did the law Of 1880 in matters
of listing, and the two will form fitting com
panion statutes. With it the great motive
for unequal listing, the state tax, will dissp
pear and the taxpayers of each town, hav
ing only local taxes to pay, will be thei
brothers keepers so far as making full
and honest list is concerned.
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1882-11-22

The only possible receipts consist OF the small per
centage paid In advance by each member oil the
association Ordinarily designed to meet the eX-
penses of management, but which goes into the
treasury, and the assessments which are annual
ly collected to meet the aggregate losses. NOW
this bill proposes to levy tax ottwo per centu
the gross sum thus raised. VI course the COM
panies concerned have no alternative but TO in
crease the annual assessment upon their members
sufficient to meet this tax. But where is the
equity of placing this extra burden upon the
shoulders of those who, for prudential reasons,
keep their property insured, and thus save 1t LOT
purposes of general taxation, while those are left
untaxed who through improvidence or false
reasoning neglect to insure at all To illustrate:
suppose two-thrds of the members OF our present
legislature are insured 10 some one of the mutual
companies of the state win they voluntarily in
crease their annual insurance taxes to the tune OF
one hundred dollars, more or less, for the
benefit of the one-third who are not insured
Moreover, the proposed tax would be grossly
UNEQUAL even among those who are insured ,
for, while one man might be insured, say
$1,000, at the lowest rate, his property be-
ing of the safest description, another, whose
property was of a character more hazardous
would be rated six or ten times higher on the
same amount insured, and of course he is taxed
six or ten times as much az the other Is this
discrimination either equitable or c0nStttutiondtF
Furthermore, the more severe the yearly losses
of these companies, involving, of course, heav-
Ter annual assessment, The greater me proposed Tar
so that, in this regard, the measure might prop
erly be denominated " A bill to tar the cdldnliies
of mutual insurance companies" And lastly, be-
side the transparent injustice OF the proposition
toward the members Of our mutual insurance
companies, it will materially increase the annual
assessments OF these companies, and to that ex
tent additionally handicap them in their present
struggle to maintain themselves against the for
eign stock companies which are seeking their
overthrow. Is 1t wise policy for our legislature
to encourage crusade against those home insti-
buttons which have been chartered for the benefit
of our people and which have so long been the
pride and boast Of our state?

Bradford Grand List.

BRADFORD, Vt, November 10, 1882.
Mr.. Editor Why are so many bills introduced
into the legislature to legalize the grand lists
of different towns throughout the state Is 1t
because the listers wilfully violated their oath
and the law by not making an honest appraisal
of personal property and real estate ? Do they
petition the legislature 70 legaze their grand list
to prevent the charge Of perjury being brought
against them Is the Legislature of Vermont to
make illegal lists legal Was there not a law
passed two years ago to punish dishonest listers
Now, will the legislature legalze such lists and
make them honest j. b. W, Pritchard, the
worthy member from Bradford, introduced bill
TO legalize the grand list of Bradford, 1t being
the quadrennial. Win the legislature legalize
such list, such an appraisal, and make IL legal
for four years? The whole list is farce from
beginning to end, There was not an honest ap-
praisal made of any kind of property in town
Let me give few illustrations of the appraisals
by the board of listers. The second listers farm
OF nearly four hundred acres was appraised
$3.50, or S4 10 per acre, and capitalist took a
risk In the shape OF a mortgage on the same farm
for 5000. Lister number three's farm OF two
hundred and sixteen acres was appraised $500,
or So 70 per acre, and cost $1,000 A back farm,
the best in town, three hundred acres, was APP
praised $1,000. or SO 81 an acre. another of eleven
acres, costing Sl70O WAS appraised 500, an
other of thirty-seven acres, appraised $500, the
last being river farms. Bank stock that stands
at premium of 81 per share was appraised only
ut 65 cents, Cattle horses and sheep were APP
praised at from one-half to two-tbirds their value
VIII the legislature legalze such list, and make
It honest and allow men that committed perjury
to go unpublished? J, GOLDEN.

GREE Press: The long railroad fight
that has continued now for more than
twenty years is probably drawing to close !;
it is more than possible that the negotia-
tions now pending between the Central Yer
mont management and it's chief opponent,
Hon. Francis A. Brooks, president of the
Vermont and Canada railroad company,
will result in a compromise OF all the
troubles and an amicabe arrangement sat
isfactory all round. The proposed settle
ment is understood to be upon basis
whereby the stock of the Vermont and
Canada railroad company will be scaled
down and replaced by another class OF secu-
rity bearing five per cent interest. The
continued postponement of the accounting
before the special masters appointed by
the court of chancery has been the result OF
these pending arrangements to settle. The
preliminaries of the settlement are arranged
and if the matter reaches its consummation
and it is understood to be very near thai
point-the several cases on the docket OF
the state and federal courts, involving diff
ferent phases of this long and bitterly con
tested litigation, will be discontinued anc
the railroad war will be a thing Of the past. ;

BosToN ADVERTISER The governor of
Vermont has vetoed bill which provided
for the payment to a national bank of ex-
penses incurred by the corporation in caus-
ing the arrest of defaulting teller. The
governor thinks it would establish bad
precedent to reimburse the bank. The
claim of the bank upon state charity is not
obvious. The bank was interested to Sc
cure the apprehension and punishment OF
the offender, both as vindication of the
law and as a preventive of future defalca-
tions. As citizens the directors were under
obligation to follow up the thief, and as d.
rectors the thought of the standing of the
bank was of immense Importance to them.
Why the state should pay men for being
good citizens and shrewd directors, cannot
be explained satisfactorily. 1t is mild
description Of this attempt to get funds
from the commonwealth to say that if sue
cessful it would be an inconvenient prece-
dent"

on Thursday night to discuss the high rates which

tect the people of the western counties from the
unjust and excessive freights now charged upon
coal and the other necessaries OF life.
