Venerable Daughters of the Revolution.

The item going the rounds to the eff
feet that there are only seven daughters
of revolutionary soldiers in the United
States, has resulted in the development
of the fact that Vermont has at least
five daughters of the revolution of the
first generation. The two venerable
ladies of Bennington included in the
current item are two sisters who mar
ried brothers named Buck, and who
have been referred to in these columns.

of Quechee, aged 81 and William
Whitman of Brattleboro, aged nearly 70.

who will be 80 years old June Z, is an
other, her father, John NJ Call, having
served five years in the war of the revo-
luton, and two years afterward in the
standing army. He was born in the
year 1851, and enlisted, probably from
New Hampshire, in 1777. During his
military services Mr.. Call had acquaint-
ance with Gen. Washington. He was
seriously wounded in the leg, but the
particulars thereof have been lost. His
parents-James and Rebecca (Mustus)
Call-mOved from New Hampshire to
Woodstock in 1888. In 1856 he was
married to Miss Betsey HARDWOOD,
daughter of James HARDWOOD, who was
one of the first 10 families to settle in
Woodstock. John NJ Call died Janu-
airy %, 1914, his widow surviving until
1882. They were the parents of IL
children, eight of whom lived to years

that the property and revenues of mu-

OF federal taxation
| After reference to the decisions, the
lopinion proceeds, concluding as fol-
lows: 1.-THE law under consideration
provides, that nothing herein contained

municipalities. 1t is commended that al
though the property or revenues of
the states or their instrumentalities
icannot be taxed, nevertheless the in

municipal securities can be taxed. But
we think the same want of power to
tax the property or revenues of the
states or their inStrumentalitieS eX-
lists in relation to a tax on the in
comes from their securities and for
the same reason, and that reason is
given by CHIEF Justice Marshall in
Weston VS.. Charlestown, where he said:
The right to tax the contract to
any extent when made must operate
on the power to borrow before it is
exercised, and have q, sensible in
fiuence on the contract. The extent of
this power depends on the will of a
distinct government. To any eNtent,
however, inconsiderable, it is a
burthen on the operations of the gov
eminent. 1t may be carried to an ex-
tent which shall arrest them entirely.
= The tax on government stock
is thought by this court to be a tax
on the contract. a tax on the power to
borrow money on the credit of the
United States and consequently to be
repugnant to the constitution. APP
plying this language to these NUM-
cipal securities, it is obvious that
taxation on the interest therefrom
would operae on the power to bor-
row before it is exercised and would
have a sensible influence on the con-
tract, and that the tax in question is a
tax on the power of the states and
their instrumentalities to borrow
money and consequently repugnant to

Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf Rail-
road company, the Union Pacific, Lin
coin & Colorado railroad, the ST.
Joseph & Grand Island Railroad COM
pany and the Kansas City & Omaha

tween the deficit of the income for
1894, as shown in the income account
1882, 1874 and the deficit, as it ap-
pears in the general balance sheets
$685., 604.23, is due to the fact that the
latter includes the sums ordinarily
payable under the traffic contracts
with other companies. The following
