THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

Delegates swango and Quicksail Defend
the New Instrument.
have read your editorial on the new
Constitution, In which you endeavor tn
convince your readers that the adoption
of IL at the polls the first Monday in
August would I've detrimental to the in.
terest Of the people of this State. Will
you permit me to discuss few points
BRIEFLY in your valuable paper. You
state that under the new Constitution
much OF the poor mans property now
exempt is subject to taxation. In this |
beg leave TO differ with you. There will
be IA much property under the new Con
stitution exempt from taxation tn the
ordinary housckeeper as under the old,
but to the contrary the taxable property
of the wealthy will be largely increased
(see Sec. l76 of new Constitution.) II
exempts all the growing crop and not
more in value Of household goods aud
ether personal property Of person with
family than $3.50 from taxation. The
old law exempts more than this, but i,
only effects the more wealthy class. This
will have TO be regulated by the General
Assembly, they to say what property
shall be exempt and the value of each
article, but all not to exceed $3.50. The
same section provides that all church
property other than the actual place of
worship shall be taxed; all endowed
schools, where the proceeds or income il
not devoted solely to the cause of educa.
ton. The property that will be taxed
under the new Constitution that Is ex-
empt by the old one IA, a. you say, near
$50, 0OO, 900, but the greater part or all of
this will come from the wealthy, and
will increase our revenue TO such an ex-
tent that the rate of taxation will be
reduced, all of which Is In the interest of
the small taxpayer.
As To the sale of lands In the noun
tains, or the price of the same, the new
Constitution only protects the poor man
in his humble home against the monied
corporations that wish to buy up the
same lands and crowd out those not able,
financially, TO protect themselves against
the monied powers and are finally forced
10 sell to them at ruinous prices. The
new Constitution forbids that any rail
road company or corporation shall hold
lands more than Is necessary TO carry on
their legitimate business. This only
leaves the lands in the hands of the hon.
est citizen for homes and TO use the vast
deposits of coal and minerals AS well AS
the timber for their own use.
AS TO the restriction of local legisla-
tion, that is one OF the most important
sections in the-new Constitution. Some
thing of this tremendous evil will be
appreciated when il Is stated that the
Auditors Report shows that in the last
ten years the General Assembly has been
in session $50 days at a daily cost of near
1868 aud had they been required TO
pass only general laws and restricted TO
sixty day sessions as required by the new
Constitution, there would have been a

The full limit of the present hall, with
% rows of seats, is $50 on the main floor
and 17j in the gallery, making total of
725.
1t will be seen that ample exit room is
provided for, there being two exits through
the outer wall on each side of the ground
floor balcony and gallery. The total eX-
pense, as estimated by the architects, j. b.

this estimate the steam-pipng, plumbing,

it would be arranged under these plans,
would be smaller than the present one, but
as an offset to this the opera house audito-
rum would always be available for use for
large public meetings, just as the present
town hall is now. 1t is undeniably true
that Brattleboro's most apparent need at
the present time is a suitable opera house,
and the main question is as to the best way
to secure it.
Our neighboring town of Greenfield,
which has a town hall much better ar
ranged and more commodious than ours, is
seriously considering plans for its enlarge
ment and further improvement.
