Alleged Theft and UsurpatiOn.

The Free Press reporter of the proceed
ings of the state board of equalization, at its
recent session in Montpelier, criticises the
action Of the board in adopting the report
OF its committee on debentures. The chief
point which this correspondent seeks to
make against the board is the allowance of
full pay during the recess, for which, he
claims, "there can be no warrant" The
allowance of the travelling expenses occa-
stoned by the recess, of the two days con-
sumed in making the first trip to Montpelier
and the journey home after final adjourn
ment, and the employment of an errand boy
during the sessions of the board, are minor
counts in the indictment of the board.
These charges are repeated and enlarged
upon in the ArguS and Patriot the action
OF the board characterized as "salary
with exceeding its jurisdiction to the ex-
tent of "probable" invalidation of the
whole state tax. The report of this CORE
spondent has been generally copied by the
newspapers of the state, and the impression
which it is calculated to convey is, that the
state board of equalization is band of
thieves.
The law under which the committee on
debentures made up its report says; The
salary Of the board and its officers shall be
three dollars day while engaged in the du.
ties of their appointment, and their actual
and necessary travelling expenses This
committee was made up of Pollard of Wind
sor county, chairman, staunch democrat
and level-headed man Chaplin of Wash
ington, republican, and as honest and sen,
sible man as the county affords and Ad
AIMS Of Orange, man Of high integrity and
clear intelligence-all men of affairs and OF
proved soundness of judgment. Soon after
the board first assembled it was confronted
by such evidence of the imperfectness of the
exhibits Of the county boards as TO convince
it that its work could not be properly done
unless those errors were corrected, and there
was no satisfactory way to obtain the data
for the necessary corrections short of per
sonal visit by the members to the towns Of
their respective counties. In Rutland county
for instance, fourteen railroad towns wer,
to be visited and the omission of taxabl,
railway property, if any, to be supplied from
the records, Accordingly, an adjournment
of the board was made to give the count,
delegates time for this necessary work. A
week was deemed by some members toc
short time, and the result proved TIN
soundness of their judgment. Extraordinar,
interest was felt all over the state in the sub
jeot Of taxation, and the board would b.
held rigidly responsible for the faithful per
Torrance Of its duties. So it wisely deter
mined TO take reasonable time for the COZ
rect performance of its work. When tn
committee on debentures commenced tn
task of auditing the accounts of its member
an effort was made TO ascertain the actus
time each member had spent during the re
cess upon the business OF the board, and Al
ter thorough consideration of the matte
