An Act to Precipitate Foreclosures.

House bill number thirty-nine does
not bear the above title, but the practi-
cal effect of its enactment must be to
precipitate the foreclosure of many
mortgages in this state, and make the
borrowing of money on this kind of
security very difficult. The bill pro-
vides in effect that the owner or holder
of mortgaged real estate may claim
exemption from taxation thereon to the
amount of the unpaid notes secured
by the mortgage, when the claimant
shall make to the listers a sworn state
ment of the facts, including information
as to the holder of the mortgage. 1t is
made the duty of listers to deduct from
the list of the claimant the amount
shown to be unpaid, provided the sum
does not exceed the appraised value of
the real estate. The amount so de-
Quoted is set to the holder of the mort
gage in the grand list of the town
where the real estate is situated. The
holder of the mortgage is " entitled to
exemption from taxation on personal
property to an amount not exceeding
the amount of exemption which has
been granted the mortgageor." In the
case of a nonresident holder of a mort
gage, the mortgageor is required to pay
the taxes upon the list representing the
notes, for which the collector shall give
a receipt, " which receipt shall have the
full legal force and effect of receipt
given by the holder of said mortgage
notes for money received in payment
of principal or interest ON said notes"
The purpose of this bill is to relieve
the debtor farmer. How would it work
in practice? In the town of A the ag-
gregate tax rate is two per cent of the
appraised value of property; in the
town of b the rate is one per cent.
This bill becomes a law Y in the
town of b holds a mortgage on the
farm of Y in the town of A. Under
the existing law, KS tax on his mort
gage is one per cent, and he has voice
and a vote in laying and expanding this
tax, Under the theory of the proposed
law, X will be taxed in the town of A,
where the rate is two per cent, and
where he has neither voice nor vote in
assessing a tax or in the management
of town affairs. Town, highway, school
district, fire district tax bills in an end
less procession will be coming in to him
from the town of A throughout the
year. To protect himself, Y will either
require Y to pay the taxes on the mort

tive enough besides strictly technical
duties he can and should do, and in
doing would earn judges salary. The
state needs such service. The old idea
that governor is at best but figure
head, that his chief duty is to issue Fast
and Thanksgiving proclamations, is born
to some extent of beggarly salary and
of the consequently low appreciation in
which the office, which should be as
important to the prosperity of the state
as the presidency of a railway, insur-
ance, marble or scale company to its
prosperity, has been held. Clothe it
with the dignity and respect born of
living, active, inspiring responsibilities,
and pay salary the mention of which
will not bring the blush to the check,
and step fraught with vastly greater
consequence to the state than any affect
ing the present status of the supreme
court will have been taken. We do not
believe in so much solicitude for SUI
preme court, in a judiciary garnished
with the honors and emoluments of the
most populous and wealthy states,
while small schools, short terms,
meager salaries, cheap teachers, inces-
SAINT change, multiplicity of incompe-
tent and irresponsible officers, instruc-
ton devoid of spirit and lacking the
conditions necessary to steady progress
sion," prevail in the common schools of
the state. These are greater subjects
for display of craftsmanship than the
courts judges, who seem to be the
special pets of certain class of solicit
Gus statesmen who are periodically con-
sumed with feverish anxiety lest the
judges should be overtasked or under
paid. Let us bring the cart and the
horse into their proper relation to each
other, let us get the schools out of the
wilderness in which they have been
wandering during the forty years that we
have been raising supreme court judges
salaries and increasing their number,
let us overhaul and strengthen the
foundations of the state, before we
annually expend several thousand dol
lars more in decorating portion of the
superstructure. When executive and
school teacher have been moved up to-
wards the supreme court judge and
have been placed in their proper rela-
tive position, when things have been
balanced up,-if there is then any need
of a supreme court at all, there will be
opportunity and money to pay the
judges if it is necessary or advisable to
give them the salaries their metropolitan
compeers are receiving.

Lake Champlain Fisheries.

Many citizens of the state have
evinced praiseworthy purpose to pro-
tect her waters and forests from the
depredations of class of murderous
fishermen and huntsmen. Laws have
been passed restricting the period of
fishing and hunting to those seasons
when reasonable use of the rod and
gun of the sportsman or the appliances
of commerce will not interfere with the
means nature has provided for the
propagation of the species. Fish and
game are held as common property, for
the common good, the common sport
and enjoyment of mankind. No man
has right for gain or pleasure to
monopoly of natures bounties or in his
greed for riches to annihilate the tribes
that swim or the species that fly. Dis
regard of natures laws and the rights
of mankind has made forest and stream
a desert to the sportsman over the
greater part of the state. Public spir-
tied and philanthropic men are endeav-
oring to resupply what has been ruth
lessly destroyed, and they have en-
listed the state, especially in endeavors
to repeople her streams, lakes and
ponds, and have procured the enact

Agricultural Report.

The Report of the Board of Agricul-
ture, by Hiram Cutting, secretary, is a
volume of four hundred forty pages de-
voted primarily to accounts of the dis
cussions had at the various meetings of
the board during the last biennial term,
and secondarily to papers by practical
farmers on great variety of subjects
relating directly to farm matters. The
board has held forty-seven meetings,
quite evenly distributed over the state,
at which the attendance has usually
been large, always fair. AT these meet
ings subjects like the following have
been discussed: Dairying, Diseases of
Animals, Ensilage, Feeding, Fertiliza-
ton, Pastures, Sugar-making, etc. The
discussions have been full if not eX-
haustive and of practical character.
The members of the board have led in
these discussions, but the farmers have
freely participated and many useful

Is found III their remarks. The report
also contains papers by competent writ
ers, giving the results of experiments,
the fruits of experience and imparting
useful information upon the whole
range of subjects in which Vermont
farmer is or should be interested.
Among these papers is one upon Milk,
by Hiram Cutting; Farm Tools, by the
same author; Setting out an Apple Or

Grass, by G. e. Abel; Dairy Farming,
by Frank G. Grant; Chemical FERTILE

all Vermonters and practically ac-
quainted with the needs and difficulties,
the possibilities and adaptabilities of
Vermont farming. Other matters of
practical and esthetical value and inter-
est are discussed by writers in different
walks of life, the whole making a vol
ume of great value, useful instructive
and entertaining to the farmer and his
family and to the general reader also.
Besides the full volume large number
of parts, relating exclusively to specific
subjects, such as Breeding Merino
Sheep, Fertilizers, ETC., have been
printed for the benefit of persons who
may not care for the full volume. We
have thus briefly indicated the charac-
ter of the contents of this report that
farmers who are not familiar with it
may be informed of its general scope.
For details we cordially refer them to
the book itself, or if they are interested
in any particular subject upon which it
treats, to the printed part containing its
discourse upon their specially. DIR.
Cutting deserves praise for the zeal and
energy, and appreciative acknowledge
ment of the ability and devotion to the
true interests of the farmer he has dis
played in the discharge of his duties as
secretary of the board. His fitness for
his position has been made apparent at
farmers meetings and appears con-
spicuously in the preparation of this
report. The document also bears con-
elusive testimony to the qualifications
of his associates upon the board indi-
vidually and to the usefulness and wis
dom of the body collectively. 1t has

service for very small sum of money
and has kept within its appropriation.
Its members have made the Office no
sinecure. Their labors have been la
bors of love in very large degree, la
bors inspired by patriotic desire to do
something to promote the prosperity of
the greatest industry of the state and
revive it from condition of despond-
ency and Indifference. They have sue
ceeded with very insufficient appropria-
ton in awaking fresh interest in ag-
riculture in Vermont and in developing
a hopeful and even an ambitious spirit.
The board should be retained in service
and larger sum of money placed at its
disposal. The ability, wisdom and good
judgment its members have shown and
the experience they have had is a guar
anty that larger appropriations will be
well and wisely expended-that for
every dollar thus appropriated the state
is being made richer in its farm property
and more fruitful in farm products.

The Political Situation.

One week from to-day occurs the ma
tional election. The voters of the
Union are asked to choose a presi-
dent from somewhat motley array of
candidates. The serious and the gro
tesque or burlesque meet on the presi-
dental tickets in the field. The men
of earnest purpose are represented by
Blaine, republican, Cleveland, demo-
cratic, and st. John, prohibition; the
charlatans in politics by Butler, the
prince of political charlatans, and the
melodramatic by Mrs. Belva A. Lock
wood, the woman suffragist, and Joseph
Mulhattan, the candidate of the Z" drum
mer's party" The contest lies be-
tween Blaine and Cleveland. st. John
and Butler, although the former stands
for a sharply-defned principle, are, in
effect, if not in purpose, the represent
atives of contributory candidates., pro-
motive of the success or defeat of one
or the other of the two leading candi-
dates. Lockwood and Mulhattan have
relieved, with dash of irony and hui
NOR, canvass distinguished for the
grim ghastliness of its intensely per-
sonal character. The preliminary tri-
ais of strength between the contestants
in the state elections that have been
held afford no conclusive indication as
to the general result next Tuesday.
BY majority of 2l $50, Vermont was
still republican in September, Maine
attested her devotion to her favorite son
by majority officially stated at 5,217,
and Ohio, in October, shifted her dem
ocratic plurality of $4,000 year ago to
an equivalent republican plurality.
The state has invariably been repub-
lican in national elections, and it has
never been regarded as a doubtful
state in the pending election. We re-

Salaries.

BY very decisive vote the senate
yesterday refused the bill to increase
the judges salaries a third reading.
Facts and figures were against the in
crease and their logic was so convincing
that more than two-thirds of the senate
were persuaded to vote against the bill.
The clause making it unlawful for
judge to receive free pass over any
railway or other line of transportation
in the state was stricken out by amend
ment before the main question of an
increase of salary came up for consid-
Grafton. The reason given for reject
ing the pass prohibition was that to
adopt it would be considered by the
judges as reflection upon their honor,
"a reason, we apprehend, whose force
will hardly be appreciated by the people
at large. The judges, if they are cor
rectly represented, are too sensitive on
this point; if the reason is the inv en-
ton of a jealous advocate, there has not
been just discrimination between true
and false honor. The existing law
fixing the salaries of the judges de-
clares that it shall not be lawful for
judge to demand or receive fees for
official services performed by him either
as judge or chancellor. Is the prohibit
ton which the senate yesterday squeam-
ishly rejected more of g reflection "
than the above? But we believe that
the senate did not pretend to consider
this matter upon its merits. We appre-
bend that if the question of paying the
judges transportation charges incurred
in the discharge of their official duties
and of prohibiting the reception of fa-
vors which long custom has sanctioned
but which no one will seriously contend
has biased their judgment, came up on
its merits it would pass. If the legis-
lature believes that public policy calls
for the enactment of such a measure,
no false scruples of delicacy on its own
part or on the part of the court should
hinder its passage.
THE WATCHMAN has been quoted in
newspaper discussions of this bill as
opposing the increase of the judges sal
airy. That we have opposed the in
crease is true and it is not true. We
believe in evening things up. We do
not believe in expanding all the states
anxiety and liberality upon one set of
officers. There is too wide gap be-
tween the compensation of the judges
and other public servants whose quality
and services have quite as much to do
with the good fame and the highest
welfare of the state as do the judges.
We believe the governor should have
as high salary as any state officer;
that man capable of earning such a
salary should always be chosen, and that
there is in the office of the chief execu-

THE communication by Spectator ="
in another column upon the Prop
erty Rights of Married Women" is
worthy of very serious consideration.
1t is wise and thoughtful appeal, by a
thinking and experiencedwriter, to the
legislature to make haste slowly in the
enactment of such measure as re-
Gently passed the senate. 1t is strong
protest against reducing marriage to
the mercenary level of a business
partnership while it favors laws that
shall protect and consistently construe
the legitimate property rights of mar
ried women. We trust the views that
Spectator presents will prevail in the
house.

THE resolution introduced in the house
Thursday morning by Mr.. Mears of
Dandy, it was made very plain, does not
represent the feelings of the represen-
tatives of the people of the state or of
the people themselves. Mr.. Dilling-
hams prompt and indignant motion of
dismissal was fitting disposition of
the obnoxious missive. Mr.. Mears
seems to have as completely miscon-
ceived the purpose of the proposed ap-
preparation as the spirit of the times in
which he lives. Vermont is proffered a
bounty from the south to enable her to
exhibit her productions and resources
in a worlds fair. Vermont is asked,
not to contribute money to the south,
but to add money to this southern con-
tribution for the exhibition in the
south of her own productions for her
own individual benefit.

vigorous and well-directed efforts will
be made to organize an exhibit that will

to advertise Vermont at this exhibition,

show and ostentation.
