Our Savings Banks,

State Inspector of Finance Plat
makes but one suggestion in his just
published annual report, and that is an
excellent one.
1t is that the rate of taxation ON saw
ings banks deposits be reduced.
The inspectors reason for making
this suggestion is that our tax rate is
higher than that of the surrounding
States.
But there is another and still strong
er reason.
And that is that the comparatively
poor people who form the great major
ity of savings bank depositors are tax
ed at far higher rate than the rest OF
the tax-paying community, for the rea-
son that every dollar OF their savings is
taxed. Not one dollar escapes. In
the case of no other class is this true.
There are exemptions and evasions
and concealments all along the line,
but there is no such thing for the saw
ings bank depositor. The tax-gatherer
collects tribute on his every dollar.
The thrifty domestic pays far high
er tax, proportionately than her veal
thy employer.
There is a great wrong in this, and
it cannot be righted too soon.
The Inspector finds the savings
banks all right. There are % Of them,
and 10 trust companies. Their united
deposits are S38 ,0000 900, gain during
the year of 81 1853, ga. The number of
depositors is 1884, of whom l03,799
are residents of the State, or almost
one in three of the whole population
in Vermont. The nonresident deposit
tors number 1860, with deposits of
SO ,42l sos. The average credit to each
depositor is 323.52-showing conclu.
sively that it is comparatively poor
people who are patrons of the banks.-

Two Stories.

Last evening friend of these and
other days related & characteristic
anecdote of the late Harry Bingham,
of Littleton, who might have been a
United States Senator or cabinet officer
if it had not been for his lifelong and
rock-ribbed Democracy. AT one time
Mr.. Bingham was arguing case be-
fore Justice Doe of his State, a jurist
with New England reputation. The
Judge made several earnest but en-
tirely Intellectual attempts to 'head off"
the argument, and at it's conclusion
said: "Brother Bingham, l have held
time and again exactly in accordance
with your views on this point" To
this the old gentleman quickly and
forcibly replied: CD it, Judge, L
know it, but will you stay hitched?"
1t is reported that he did "stay hitch
ed" and Brother Bingham won his
case.
The above reminded Senator Cud-
worth of Windham, who was one Of
the party, of an anecdote along the
same lines in which old probate Judge
Tyler OF his county was the star. A
hearing in an important case before
him was set for a certain day, and "Lo"
Martin and "Joe" Dennison came down
with bags full OF legal lore with which
to assail his Honor. The hour arrived
and in their order the two statesmen
argued the point at length. After two
or three hours of oretory the stream
ran dry and Judge Tyler pulled open
drawer in front of him and remarked:
"Well gentlemen, regarding this case l
wrote to Judge "A week ago and
got his opinion, which exactly coin
cides with mine" And the Judge pro-
ceeded to read the opinion at length to
the dismay of the weary patriots. And
it was an adverse opinion, after ALL

The House Committees.

A fairly careful scrutiny of the House
committee assignments indicate that
Speaker Proctor has exercised excellent
judgment AS a whole, the assign
ments are most appropriate and fitting,
in view of the work to be performed,
and review of the list gives evidence
of hard work well performed.
The committee on elections, headed
by Mr.. Rowland of Poultney, is made
Of excellent material, well constructed
for its purpose. The committee on
ways and means has seldom if ever
been eXcelled in strength in previous
Legislatures. Mr.. Hale as chairman is
of course tower of strength, and ev-
cry one of the members possesses val
liable qualifications for the place as
signed to him. Col. Franklin, as chair
man of the military affairs committee,
is distinctly the right man and his as
sistants make of the committee an un-
usually able one.
The judiciary committee, headed
most appropriately by Judge Waterman
of Brattleboro, contains as a whole
nine able lawyers, and surely their re-
view of any measure coming before
them may well be accepted by the
House as conclusive. The committee
on Education is also an unusually
strong one. Mr.. Taylor, its chairman,
is level-headed and conservative edu-
Gator of large experience, and he has
the valuable assistance of some OF the
best minds in the House on this most
important subject.
One of the strong, solid, conserva-
tive men of the House is MIR. Powers
of Bennington, who is given the chair
manship of the committee on claims.
A personal acquaintance with him and
most Of the committee is assurance that
the delicate work which comes before
it will be fairly and judiciously per-
formed. The Railroad committee is
we'll equipped from head to foot to
grapple with whatever problems may
confront it, and from Col. Emery and
his corps of assistants the State may
expect the best attainable results.

The Senatorial Contest.

Commenting on the contest for the
United States senatorshIp, now near
its eliminating stage, the Vermont
correspondent of the Springfield Re
publican says:
"The senatorial contest is the all
absorbing question in both houses and
in the lobby at Montpelier. Both the
leading candidates, Dillingham; and
Grout, have their headquarters at the
Pavilion hotel, with an active crowd of
supporters about them. Many Repre-
sentatives and most of the Senators
were elected squarely upon the senate
rial issue, 80 their standing lie quite
we'll known. About two.thirds of the
Senators are for Dillingham;, the bal
ance being divided between Grout,
Prouty and Ross. Both sides have
made as thorough and complete can
vass OF the members of the House as
possible during the last few days.
Their claims, as might be inferred, do
not agree. 1t seems quite evident that
Dillingham; is largely in the lead, al
though it is by no means certain he has
absolute majority for the first ballot
There are 40 Democrats, and it IL ex-
pected for one or two ballots at least
they will vote solidly for candidate of
their own. Until a break comes in
their ranks it is hardly expected that
an election can occur. 1t is quite GER
tain that Grout cannot win unless he
can in some way secure the practically
solid Democratic vote, and in addition
the support of those who are now sup
porting Ross or Prouty. Both Ross
and Prouty, who each have few earn
est and firm supporters, declare that
their men will never 60 to Grout. A
number of Democratic members were
elected under positive pledge to vote
for Dillingham;, and many others have
expressed their preference for him.
Several Democratic members are
known to actively espouse the cause of
Grout. The conclusion seems to be
that Grout cannot win. Whether a
! combination on either of the two minor
candidates can be made to defeat Dill
bingham is yet to be seen.
The foregoing seems to be, in the
main, true and candid statement of
the senatorial situation at this time.
The supporters of Mr.. Dillingham; have
not deemed it necessary to lombard
the public ear with daily repetitions of
the real facts of his standing in the con-
test. They are abiding serene in their
confidence that Mr.. Dillingham; sis
largely in the lead" and have been
leaving the hollering to the "nigger''
in the senatorial "wood pile" The
clamor coming from that direction need
not dismay any follower of Mr.. Dill
bingham. His lines are firm and they
overlap those of the chief of the oppos-
ing forces, if indeed they are not more
extended than the line OF the entire

Sergeant-at-Arms Phinney has exer-

years, having been first elected in 1870.

Important Question Settled.

Immediately after his nomination
as presidential elector, States Attor-
ney Graham OF Craftsbury wrote Sen
ator Ross for his opinion of the legality
of his holding both offices. Mr.. Gra-
ham is now the member of the House
from Craftsbury, and the question was
recently raised as to his competency to
hold the positions of elector and MEM
Der of the General Assembly. The an
swer of Senator Ross which follows
clears up both questions by q citation
of oil the law on the subject. These
are interesting facts, and it would be
well for every citizen to bear them in
mind. The letter follows:
HORACE f GRAHAM, ESQ,
My Dear Sir. Your letter of the Cd
inst would have received speedier
ans yer il had not been engaged in
moving my law library and could not
put my hand on The books l wanted to
examine until today, The only pro-
vision OF the United States COnstitu.
ton, or statutes, bearing upon the
question is the last clause Of article 2
of Section l, reading, "but no Senator
or Representative or person holding an
office of trust or profit under the United
States, shall be an electOr." You clearly
do not fall within this prohibition. A
States attorneyship is not such an of
fee under the United States, Coming
to our own Constitution the last sen
8 ,fT l.
"Nor ehall any person holding any Of
fee of profit or trust under authority of
Congress be eligible to any appoint
ment in the Legislature, or of holding
any executive or judiciary office under
this State"
think the State attorneyship is an
executive Office under this S.ate."
The question then is: Is the elector-
ship an Office of profit or trust under
authority of Congress? Sec. 2, Article
81, of Amendments of the State Con-
slitution, defines what is an Office of
profit or trust under authority of Con-
gress, "to mean any office erected di-
rectly or indirectly by Congress and for
which emOlument is provided from the
treasury Of the United States." The
dictatorship is created by the constitu.
ton, and not by Congress. Again the
emolument of an election is provided
for by the State, and is nov paid out of
the treasury OF the United States.
Sec. 173, Vermont State. These are
the only provisions of the United States
Congress or statutes and OF the YER
mont Congress- or statutes, which l
have found bearing on the question. II
there are no others l think it is mani
fest that your being States attorney
does not forbid your being eligible for
presidential elector. If you know Of or
find any other provisions of the consti-
tuition or law bearing upon the question
l wish you would call them to my at
tention and l will be glad to tell you
what think OF them.
Yours truly, JONATHAN Ross.
