DOUBLE TAXATION.
Time to Wake Up.

4 is Terhars e be regretted that
the people OF this state are not waking
Ing np more % the matter Of double
taxation. The reason, probably,is be-
cause those who are interested in hav-
ing the present law modified are a
class OF men who are accustomed to
long suffering and patient endurance,
and are lacking in the energy neces-
sary to arouse them to their own in
terest; while those who are interested
in maintaining the law as it is and
who would very quickly exert them
selves il the boot were on the other
leg, prefer to keep quiet till such time
as action is necessary. For our part,
we think it time the people awakened
to the importance Of this natter
/ Earth.

Montpelier the Scene II True Story
That Ouuiovs Fiction.


About 4 y. ar aid half ago there
came to the Exchange hotel quiet
mai, who registered asGeo.
johnson, New York. He had in his
possession 800 which he gave to the
landlord, telling him that he wanted
to board it out. He apparently had
no business and when his credit at
this hotel was exhausted he went else
where to board. doing odd jobs about
town whenever he had an opportunity.
About week ago he received par
tial shock Of paralysis at the livery
stable OF G. w. Downing, where he
had been allowed to sleep for some
time. 1t coming to the knowledge OF
some of the Masonic fraternity that
he was brother in need of help,
they took charge of him and sent him
to place where he could have good
care and proper treatment. lie re-
luctantly told one of his brother Ma
sons that he belonged to lodge in
Dover Plains, N. ", and that lodge
was communicated with. Sunday
morning Of last week a member Of
that lodge and daughter OF Mr..
johnson appeared in Montpelier and
made known some interesting facts,
the like OF which are often found in
fiction but seldom in real life. Mr.
johnson had been living in Montpe-
| iier under an assumed name. His real
name is George Hufcut, and he was
for many years one OF the wealthy
and influential citizens OF Dover
Plains, owning the finest house and
| best teams in that town. Through
signing notes for large amounts thai
he eventually had to pay, and by the
rascality of business partner, he los'
all his property. This affected hi;
mind and one morning II months
ago he was missing from his home
He was traced to New York city
where a systematic search by police
and detectives failed TO find him anc
he was finally given up for dead. The
letter sent last week TO Dover Plains
regarding him was the frst lntiiha
ton his friends had that he was still
alive. A wide circle of friends wer'
more than rejoiced to hear OF him a
living, and brother Mason and tn
daughter Of Mr.. Hufcut started a
once for Montpelier with money U
paw all his bills and to take him t
Dover Plains, where very warm re
ception awaits him. The meeting be
tween the daughter and her iong-los
father caused tears to start from eye
unused to weeping. He has nearl'
recovered from his shock OF paralysis
and SO new suit Of clothes was pun
chased for him, shave and hair-cu
was given him and Tuesday mornln
he started for Dover Plains, accompa
MED by his daughter and friend
where wife who believed MIN dea
anxiously awaits him. Had ne de
!. from the effects Of the shock his la
wonld have been forever unknown 9
|. his family. IT'S a pleasant story
, tell, as strange as it is true.

A Ringing Call for Action.

AfN'NAtAt Va OuA tOAAtNLl RVA ice AAi tlO
northern part of the state are making
a crusade against the double taxation
system in vogue in Vermont, which
the Randolph HERALD characterizes
as System Of oppression Ito the
farmer] that would be condemned in
Russia"
The taxation reform movement is a
worthy cause and one that should be
appreciated, especially by the farmer
The present law requires that taxes
shall be paid on real estate mortgages
by both the debtor and creditor.
To illustrate:-Jones buys farm
worth $1,000. He only has $500 in
capital and borrows $1,000 on the
farm. When the listers come around
in April, Jones has to pay taxes on
81 800, the tax being just the same as
though he didn't owe any man PEN
nv and was worth the 81 800, and be-
side this lie has to pay interest on the
81, 900 mortgage. Smith also has to
pay taxes on the mortgage and thus
he is obliged to charge Jones higher
rate of interest than would otherwise
be the case.
In state like Vermont we can
hardly see one factor in favor OF such
an unfair and unequal system Of tax
alton, as ..land- grabbing capitalists"
are not numerous and the main part
of the burden falls upon the poorer
class of farmers who are struggling
upward.
"But," suggests the Londonderry
Sitter, .swho makes our laws II 1t IS
not the peoples representatives! And
who are the people? Four-tifths o.
the people in Vermont are farmers.
They, then, make the laws, and do let
them enjoy them in peace"
The above philosoph. sounds pref
| ty, but no one really believes that the
| farmers actually enjoy this oppression.
The fact is that many Of the farmers
whom this law affects are not active
participants in politics. They are
poor men and spend all OF their time,
| all OF their energy and all Of their ".
talitv in toiling for their daily bread
and trust matters of politics to theil
favor tie party leaders. Or it they arr
dissatisfied they Go not live together
| like people in the villages and 1t I
| liffcult for them to unite in demand
| inc anv reforms, and without unit.
! there is no chance for success. Henc'
! the farmers must stand it until the.
arise in their might and unity, as
sisted by the intelligent voters IN IN
VILLAGES and cities, and send men =
Montpelier who win break the feuda
yoke. :, !,
Farmers of Vermont, you have II u
vour power to rcpeal'this law at IN
next legislature. This is the way Z
IA it.--Don't vote for any candldat
Who will not pledge himself to worl
for the repeal Of the double taxation
laws. It's impossible to elect repr:.

THE ROAD QUESTION.
The County Commissioners May De-

The County Commissioners May De-
eide on a superintendent To-day.
The county commissioners will hold an
adjourned meeting this afternoon at
o'clock The most important matter to
come before them will be the questions
which have arisen with the adoption, by
recommendation of the grand jury, of the
new road law for this county in connec-
ton with which there has to be appointed
a superintendent of roads.
At their last meeting the commissioners
decided that they would appoint super
lntendent of roads in accordance with the
new law and define his duties according
to its provisions. 1t remains also to fix
what salary shall be paid him. and who
he shall be. There are several applicants
for the position, among them being Mr..
q. w. Alley and Mr.. r. J. Wade. 1t is
probable that there will be a fun board
present, and if the time of the commits
sioners is not too largely taken up with
other matters Commissioner Carson may
be heard from in reply to Chairman Dales
structures made at a former meeting.
In accordance with a recent resolution
of the commissioners a portion of the con-
Wet forces are now at work cleaning the
drains and canals in immediate proximity
10 the city. Camp No. 2, consisting of
about thirty able bodied men, is at work
on the drainage just east of the city. A
little later on it is likely that the entire
forces will be at work on the spring clean
ing. The preliminary survey for the
drainage work on Tybee island has begun,
and as soon as it can be completed, which
viii be within ten days or two weeks, a
gang of twenty-five convicts will be de-
tailed to give the island as thorough a sys-
TEN of drainage as is possible within a
months time
