Gunpowder in Hunting.

A curious feature about this evolu.
ton in methods of hunting was the
hesitation with which gunpowder was
taken up by the great mobiles. Not only
did it take quite century to familiar
ize hunters with it, but the evidence
that has come down to ue hows that
the humble classes were the first to
use it for sooting game. Maximilian,
ardent sportsman that he was, tells US
himself that he could shoot further
and with greater accuracy with his
crossbow than his keeper could with the
fire tube. To prove this he tells US the
well known story of a certain chamois
standing at distance of 200 fathoms,
which, after being pronounced as too
far off by his henchman, who was
armed with one of the first sporting
firearms mentioned in print, comes
tumbling down, pierced at the arst at
tempt, by the emperor's bolt. From
other sources we learn Of strict meas
ures being adopted to prevent poach-
ers and "woodloafers" using firearms
and this at period when princes still
used the cumbrous crossbok and spear
1t was only In the last quarter of the
sixteenth century that firearms had
ousted other weapons for certain forms
of the chase, the deer hattue being
among the latter.-Pall Mall Gazette

can give as well or better than any state In
the union, that | suggest the advisability OF
adding to the present corporation tax law
a provision that shall allow any non-resi-
dent, who NAV hereafter become resident
Of the state, the privilege OF entering into
a contract with the state under its seal tor
a term of years, say 80, whereby such per-
sons taxes shall be fixed at specific sum
annually Such fixed sum to be measured
by percentage of his sworn income or to
be an amount agreed upon between COM
mission appointed by the legislature and
the party who avails himself OF this law.
Such sum to be in lieu of all other state or
local taxes on his personal estate, and to be
paid directly to the treasurer of the state
for its benefit annually. The fundamental
idea being that nonresident may come
here, and before assuming the responsible
ties OF citizenship, may receive contract
that the state will tax such person an an
nual specific sum to be agreed upon, ,and no
more for the term OF his contract. Once
the contract is signed by the state the nom
reside, becomes resident and pays his
annu i.x,d sum and is bothered no more
pending the life of his contract, as to taxa
tion either by legislature or listers or ap
praisers or courts. As to any real estate
such person may desire to own in the state,
it should be provided that such real estate
shall be taxed as other real estate to the
town wherein it is situated, but that enough
to allow such persons homestead,'ay 100
acres in the county or one acre in the city,
shall be exempt. That is to say. whatever
is assessed against such homestead by the
to wn or city shall be deducted each year
from the amount such person pays to the
state. The privilege OF this law should be
limited to such persons as are willing to
pay at least $500 per annum to the state,
and the contract should run for the benefit
OF the person and bis legal representatives..
There should also be required from such
persons deposit of securities or bond to
secure the payment of the tax during the
term of this contract. There should be a
commission appointed which shall have au-
thority to enter into such contracts on be-
half of the state and to affix the seal OF the
state thereto.
| can see no good reason why the state,
under legislation that shall properly pro-
tect the rights Of every present citizen,
should not open its doors to this class Of
persons and receive proper and leglti-
| mate increase to its revenue which it can
obtain in no other way.
If 1T is true, and it is, that the increas-
ing wealth of citizens of other states is be-
ing hidden and smuggled from one place to
another to avoid taxation, unjust or other
wise, what harm to the people OF this state
if we invite such persons to locate here un-
der contract which is fair to the state and
fixed and positive and fair to the owner Of
the property?

Newspaper EnterprlSe.

For many years the Boston Journal has
had strong hold on the reading public of
New England. In Vermont especially this
paper has been law and gospel to thousands.
The latest stroke of the publishers in
changing the form and increasing the size
Of the Sunday edition is proving remark
ably popular with readers. Ninety-six
pages, 4S of newspaper and 4S of maga-
zine, and all for five cents, is what the
people consider &c dirt cheap" Then, too,
the quality Of the Journal is something
that its readers cherish. Nothing cheap,
trashy, or sensational ever appears in its
columns; then, too, its halt tone illustra-
tions, instead of cheap, comic supplements
are valuable feature. In changing the
style and makeup of its Sunday issue, the
journal has made hit.

Gov. Smiths Plan of Taxation.

In bis inaugural address before the legist
lature Gov. Smith left the beaten paths of
his predecessors and blazed trail or two
of his own. He advanced few original
ideas with the result that there has been
hum of comment ever since, occasionally
favorable but for the most part adverse.
As it is likely some legislation embodying
the governors ideas will be proposed, the
language used regarding the project is
given below.
ask your serious consideration to pro-
posal OF amendment to the present tax law
which shall offer some inducement to per-
sons, at present non-resi 1ents of the state,
to become residents, so that a revenue can
be derived from them which shall be added
to our state income, and by which their
wealth may be added to ours to the end
that our taxes may be less and the states
income greater.
In many of our sister states there has
been radical and extreme legislation with a
view to reach the estate of the rich ;where-
| by inheritance tax income tax, extravagan
and unequal local taxes are imposed or
this class of persons to their infinite dis.
trust and annoyance. Legislation of thi.
character is growing in severity and vol
ume, with the result, that upon good rea
son, or otherwise, a great many large for
tunes, and innumerable small ones, ar,
being driven from those states into Other
states where the laws of taxation are les

permanently until they have some harbo
where they can anchor in safety and wher,
they shall be insured against attacks from
what they deem. justly or unjustly, ,ex.rem
