The Massachusetts, Law.

The advocates of a law to exempt
mortgages from taxation are fond of
quoting the example of Massachusetts
in passing and sustaining the law of
1881. From source entitled TO the
highest credibility, we have received
some particulars relative to the iAfu-
ences that secured the passage of that
law, that have saved it from repeal,
and its effect upon tax and interest
rates. To our inquiry, What were the
influences that secured the passage of
the law and prevent its repeal? our in
formant says: "The influences of the
back bay of corps of men appar-
emily organized in the interest of capt.
tai to talk up the reform every year to
the legislature The active men, says
distinguished member of the legisla-
ture in 1881, besieging the committee
and legislature in season and out of
season, for the passage of the law, were
three conspicuous financiers in Boston
who, as trustees, loan some twelve mil
lions or fifteen millions of dollars.
"Their five per cent of the increase net
income of their funds would give Them"
says our informant, "perhaps $4,000 a
year net profit each from the law" Some
four years ago General Butler said a
great deal about double taxation, and
what he would do to cure it. This led
large classes of poorer people, espe-
cially the Irish, to favor the law as a
great reform in the interest of the poor
man, but in private conversation he
condemns the law as sharply as its fore
most opponents. The chief support of
the law has been the leading news
papers of Boston, which are either
owned by the back bay and are its
organs or sympathize with the million

association and so distinguished a
lawyer leads in the advocacy of so de-
sirable reform as the upsetting of the
wretched policy that biennially exposes
to freaks of popular prejudice the men,
bers of that department of the govern
ment which should be placed beyond
the reach of gusts of public passion or
individual or corporate hostility or any
ephemeral disturbance which fearless
and Independent discharge of duty may
excite, the reform will not be long in
coming the association becomes some
thing more than junketing or mutual
admiration society; it becomes an i'm
portant instrument for advancing the
good of the community at large and
the people will begin to have an inter-
est in its doings. Mr.. Fifield recon-
mends that the judges tenure of their
office shall be during good behavior,
and he gives conclusive reasons for his
recommendation He shows how the
judiciary will be protected on the one
hand from public passion and freakish-
ness, or individual malice and intrigue,
and on the other how the people will
have always in their own hands power
to remedy any dereliction of duty on
the part of judge. We showed re-
Gently by table giving the length of
the tenure of office of judges in the
states of the Union that a long tenure
is the rule. Vermont and one or two
others are the only states in which the
judicial term of Office is less than five
years; more frequently it exceeds six
years and extends in some instances to
ten, twelve, fourteen, twenty-one years
and to life or good behavior. When
the state constitution energies in 1890
from its ten years doze, and the decen-
NAL dust and drowsiness has been
shaken off, we trust that an amendment
embodying the spirit, if not the exact
form of Mr.. Fifield's suggestion, will be
engrafted upon it before it lapses again
into comatose state.

personally and intelligently familiar
with the matters whereof he writes.
The conclusion of his evidence is over
whelming that Massachusetts, was in
weighed into the adoption of law
whereby "the money-lenders pocketed
substantially every dollar of the 80, 100,-
900 allowed in exemptions while the
borrower, who was the only one suffer
ing any hardship, is worse off than be-
fore, having to contribute further taxes
to make up the deficit caused by the
exemption of his creditors" The facts
effectually dispose Of the sugar coating
the press and the money-lender have
thrown around very bitter pill.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1884-11-05

why she should stand so far behind
those states which have never adopted
that system or have long ago abandoned
it for the town system? A careful ex-
animation and comparison of the vari-
GUS tables of illiteracy among the states
OF New England and the West, coupled
with consideration of such surround
ings and data as are proper to right
full comprehension of the subject and
its causes, must surely lead the honest
Vermonter to inquire, wherefore are
we being left behind in the results of
these dissimilar applications of our zeal
and wealth for the increase and diffu-
sion of education among our children?"

WE go to press while the national
election is in progress. Wednesday
morning we shall issue an extra giving
the result of the great contest so far as
known. AT the time of writing, the
political situation appears to be sub
stantially as outlined last week. New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana are vociferously claimed by the
democrats, while the republicans ex-
press mistaken confidence in their
ability to carry not only those states but
Florida and one or two other southern
states. Even should the democrats
carry New York, not unwarrantable
hopes are felt that enough electoral
votes will be given by other close states
to elect the candidates of the republi-
can party. But while we write the
Gordian knot of presidential succession
over which political orators and work
ers have been struggling the livelong
summer and autumn is being united by
the voters of the nation, and specula-
ton is useless when the grand result
is already within the grasp of the
ballot-box

THE public saw the lawyers of the
state last week around their annual
campfire. There was a truce to the
hostilities of the forum, the attack and
defense, the cut and thrust of the con-
fiicts at the bar. There were fraternal
greetings, and in the addresses ardent
utterances of loyalty to the highest of
secular professions, of admiration for
it and zeal in its service, with just recog-
milton of its dignity and responsibilities.
Solicitude for the welfare of the judi
ciary, the sheet anchor of government,
found eloquent, practical and states
manlike expression in the address of
the president of the association, b. F.
Fifield, Esq, and Judges Pierpoint and
Peck found graceful and appreciative
eulogists in Judges Ross and Rowell.
The distinctive character of Mr.. Fl.
fields address will arrest general atten-
ton. When the president of the ban

THE legislature, with due apprecia-
ton of the public sentiment, has appro-
priated five thousand dollars for assur-
ing collective exhibit of the resources
and industries of Vermont. Because
the time for preparation is very short,
Commissioner Mead must have the i'm
mediate and hearty cooperation of our
citizens. We understand that it is his
purpose to visit the principal towns of
the state Immediately, and to ask our
farmers, manufacturers, artisans, and
educators to contribute at once to the
display. Colonel Mead has during
the past week been promised ex-
tensive exhibits from many marble,
granite and slate quarries, also consid-
cradle quantities of apples, potatoes
and other agricultural products. We
congratulate our Legislators on their wise
action in this matter which will be gener-
ally approved by their constituents, fori
will rebound to the honor of the COM
monwealth and promote the advance
ment and prosperity of every industry
within our borders.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1884-11-05

WE notice that bill has been pre-
sented in the senate abolishing the office
of tax commissioner, and attaching its
duties to the office of the state treas
urer. There may come time when it
will be eXpedient to unite the two Of
fees, but we believe the proposed con-
centration is premature. The question
of appointing a tax commissioner was
gone over by the ways and means COM
mittee that framed the revenue law, and
was considered with as much care as
any other provision of the bill. The
decision to create such an Office was
arrived at after mature deliberation,
and the experience of the first two
years of the operation of the law has
abundantly indicated the wisdom of
the committee. The duties of the office,
entrusted to lawyer of tact and
judgment, have been performed with
out embroiling the state with any of the
corporations whose "bristles were up"
by reason of the new demands of the
state. The legal services rendered by
the commissioner would alone have cost
the state several multiples of the salary
he is paid, had the duties of the office
been entrusted to a non-professional
man, however skilful in matters of
finance. He would have been obliged
to keep a good lawyer at his elbow,
and any one is at liberty to esti-
mate for himself what would have been
the chances, in the hands of a re-
tanned attorney, of steering the bark
which the Legislature of 1882 launched
successfully through the dangers which
beset it on either hand. An immense
bill to the state and a contested law
might easily have been the result. The
committee foresaw this and created the
office of tax commissioner. The law
will still need the fostering care of an
attorney like Commissioner Dilling-
ham, and it will be wise, we believe, to
retain the office, at least for another
biennial term.

Saattbman 4 Journal.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1884.

A STRANGER forming his impressions
of the Vermont bar from the appear
ance of the members present at the
meeting in the courthouse last week
must inevitably have come to the con-
clusion that they are as bright, fine
looking and intelligent body of pro-
fessional men as can be collected in
these United States. The addresses of
Messrs. Fifield, Ross and Rowell were
scholarly productions, distinguished by
good sense, fine literary style, forceful
diction, and simple but effective de-
livery.
