A host of people will be pleased to
learn that the reported abandonment of
the project to relieve the public of a Dor
ton of the burden of the war taxes Is
not to take place. On the contrary lat
est advices from Washington are that
the Republican leaders in the senate are
determined to consummate this measure
of relief for the people. The senate H.
nance committee has practically com.
pleted its consideration of the details of
the bill, and various notifications have
been made. The general idea involved
in all the measure is to remove all war
taxes that are burdensOme and to reduce
the remainder one-half as far as practic-
able. The present intention is to retain
the two-cent stamp on bank checks until
the first day of the year, while the bank
tax which is now equivalent to two dol
lars per $1,000 of capital Is reduced one
| half. Stamps will rot be required on
notes, mortgages or other evidences of
| Indebtedness, but the taxes upon deeds
and other certificates of transfer and
evidences of wealth will be continued
The inheritance tax is also reduced
e.half, aud all requests to libraries
educational and charitable institutions
are exempt.
The changes made in the tax reduc
ton bill by the senate which will prob
ably cause more discussion than any
others are those affecting beer and to-
bacco. The rate of taxation on beer
which was formerly 81 per barrel, and
which was advanced to 50 by the war rev.
enue law, was reduced to 81 60 by the
house, whereas the senate now further
dimnishes the rate to Sl50, a reduction
of one. half the war tax on the bever.
age. The tax on tobacco is reduced il
a similar manner. The rate was form
erly six cents pound, and the wal
revenue bill increased it TO twelve cents
The senate bill reduces the rate to nine
cents, one half of the advance. The
war tax is removed from all paten
medicines, the formula or ingredients
of which are printed on the label OIL
wrapper of the bottle; but all secret
compounds are taxed the same as al
present. There is, however, reduc
ton of one-balf in the tax on perfumes
and other toilet articles.
The passage of the war reduction bill
is one of the most wise and politi,
measures that the present congress coulC
DEVISE. The people are FESTIVE under
these burdensome and bOthersOme taxes
not. because they lack patriotism, .for they
bore them patiently so long as the eviden
necessity for increased revenue existed
but because the collection of war rev
enue is being continued, while the treas
ury statements are showing an enormous
increase In the surplus. The war take.
should be reduced, and the reduction
should be made as sweeping on all ne
cessities as is consistent with proper pre-
cputiOpS for futurp contingencies

suits of the latest German census. In
that country the census man makes his
round every fifth year. This time he
found that Nuremberg, one of the oldest
cities In all Europe, has increased in pop
ulation over 60 per cent during only five
years, which beats such boom. towns as
Kansas City and Minneapolis, and the
old city of Posen wasn't far behind.
Stettin has nearly doubled in ten years
and Mannheim shows gain of 43 per
cent in five years. During the last ten
years Berlin has grown faster than our
shining example, Chicago, and in thirty
years has increased from S25,3S0 to
1,SS4,345. Counting its suberbs, to offset
the "annexed" territory of New York
and Chicago, its increase is to 100000 in
thirty years.

therefrom.

Vermont's maple-sugar producers will

on February and 6. OF late years this
industry has shown decline in Vermont
and for no perceptible reason except
that in the markets of the country the
adulterated article seems to have gained
the upper hand. With the decline of the
industry has come an effort on the part
of few leading spirits In the business to
so manage the output of the genuine
Vermont article that it will carry with it
the stamp of its purity. There always

j. NJ. Burke, Esq, Village Clerk:
respectfully decline to accept the Office OF
trustee, to which, / underst stand, have been
elected, and refuse to qualify. l can see no
other way IN which can express my disap-
proval of certain political methods employed
in this municipality TO obtain office, to which
my silence might be interpreted as consent.
have always tried to do my duty whenever
the same has been delegated to me by my
constituents, and wish at this time to thank
them for their cordial support heretofore.
CHAs. f. PINNEY.
