railroads the commissioner says
"There is no class of property more
difficult to value for the purposes of
taxation than that of railroads." and
that "the earning power of road in
full operation is the fairest basis of
taxation. " In studying the statistics
relating to the street railroads it can
readily be seen that taxation upon the
rate of 81 per one thousand upon the
appraisal is better for the States in
terest. The matter of taxing tele-
graph companies certainly calls for
consideration when it is known that
the Postal Telegraph Company, doing
national business, has a mileage of
poles of 1872 miles in Vermont, with
$40 miles of additional wire, and is
paying an annual tax to the State Of
Vermont of only 1914 45 for it's entire
line within the State. Comparing the
company's holdings in Vermont with
other property set in the grand list,
the tax paid by the Postal Company
is wholly unfair to other corporations
and taxpayers. The present tax paid
by this company is equivalent to that
paid by farmer upon a piece of prop
erty valued at 81, $50 under the aver
age rate of taxation prevailing during
the past three years.
In closing his report the commissioner
submits the suggestion that gas. cleo
H'ic light and power companies be re-
quired to pay tax based upon the
appraisal of their corporate property
and franchise, or, if they so elect to
pay percentage upon their gross re-
ceipts. The report as whole is a
comprehensive volume and offers
valuable suggestions to those interest
ed in an equable apportlonment of
State taxes.

NIMRODS RETURN.

A. II. Beck and A, NJ, Hunt, publisher
of Granite of Boston, F. H. Luce o
Waterbury, and George H. Almon of this
city returned on Friday from a success
full hunting trip in the Connecticut Lakes
regions. They went into camp one mile
from the first lake, November 6, with
four guides and cook, after an eighteen
mile drive from West Stewartstown and
six miles canoe ride up the lake. The
next day Mr.. Hunt secured one doe and
then followed three bright cold days, un-
favorable for the sport, but Mr.. Almon
succeeded in getting good buck. On
Wednesday Mr.. Hunt wounded buck and
with his guide, followed it for three hours
in pouring rain; overtaking him, four
more bullets were fired into him when he
made for brook and fell beside it, The
guide then held the animals head under
water until he was drowned Wednesday
night it showed and several trails were
followed with the result that Mr.. Almon
secured another doe. That evening there
was heavy wind storm and the hunters
experienced considerable hardship in get
ting out of the woods with their game,
but they finally reached West Stewards
town, wet and weary, and lett for home
the next morning.

TAX COMMISSIONERS REPORT

| To the statistician the carefully
compiled special report from the
| State tax commissioner will especially
appeal. The purpose of the report as
stated by Commissioner Cushman has
been to show as far and plainly as
possible the relative amount of taxes
borne by the different classes of tax
payers and properties in this State.
The report comes directly through
joint resolution adopted by the Gen
eral Assembly of 1900 ordering the
commissioner to investigate the sys-
tenn of taxing corporations under the
present law, and to report compar-
ative statement of the extent to which
corporate property and property in
the grand list are taxable.
The commiss toner's report, neces-
sarily long, is thus condensed. The
total valuation of all taxable real es-
ate in the State is $3.50, 443, 1856. The
exemptions for the years 1900-1-2
amount to upwards of $27, 600, 900 or
| tttn DSI CChU VI tlio OHOllc anu
list. By these figures it is shown that
twenty three per cent of the value of
the real estate and from sixty to sixty
five per cent of the amount of person
al property shown in the grand list
is exempt for one reason or another.
Following a tabulated statement of
each town in the State for each of the
three years past, in which are given
the figures of the real estate and per-
sonal property set in their respective
grand lists and the amount exempted
in each town, the commissioner offers
some suggestions. He claims that the
grand list of the State, as made up by
the various listers, does not represent
the true cash value of either the real
or personal property of the State.
His conclusions and suggestions upon
the matter of exemptions would show
that the attempts of boards of listers
to constitute themselves boards o.
equalization are. detrimental to the
States interests Commissioner Cush
man strongly advocates State board
of equalization or assessors.
Referring to the taxation of banl
deposits the report shows that by rea
son of the laws governing banking in
situations there is no chance for an.

of State taxes has access at all time
to the books of such corporations

BOYCOTTING.

Now that the anthracite strike is
tors are hard at work on solution of
the problem existing in the anthra-
cite region, is it out of place to take a
look at that side of the matter relat-
ing to the boycott?
For weeks and months, in discuss
ing the coal strike, the press referred
only to the actual physical violence
which from time to time occurred,
and utterly ignored the baneful boy
colt that wrought such havoc to the
non combatants. The men having re-
public attention is turned to this es-
tablished system of running others
which caused hardship untold in
Pennsylvania.
Union men suffer from the boycott
as we'll as their non-union brothers.
A difference of opinion arises between
the employer and employees of some
manufacturing concern and immedi-
ately boycott is ordered upon the
product of the establishment, and in
the course of few weeks all local
unions, no matter of what trade, are
told to institute a boycott upon every
/ dealer handling any of the product of
this factory. Then comes hardship
not for the dealer alone, who is i'll
nocent of any intention to be unfair
toward organized labor, but to the men
who are obliged to buy the necessities
| of life from this local merchant. The
merchant has built up trade upon
a certain article manufactured by the
offending firm and is 10th to give vi
the sale of the same, but unless he
buy nothing of him, even though the
remainder of his stock be termed
"fair"by local unions. The boycottel
fails to see the ultimate result of hil
work. He cannot be made to under
stand that if all labor is organized
the price of labor will rise and the
articles of consumption will expert
ence a sympathetic rise. The boycott
ter asks more than is fair in view o.
the fact that the courts have givel
labor the right to combine agains
capital to control the matter of wages
but have forbidden the capitalist til,
privilege of combining to control tn,
price of the commodities they manu-
facture or handle.

TRIED TO SHOOT KING.

Brussels, Nov. 15.-An attempt to
assassinate King Leopold was made
today after the religious service held
for the late Queen, Marie Henriette.
The King was not hurt and the would
be assassin was arrested: A man in
the crowd drew revolver and fired
at short range. AS the King received
no injury the belief prevails that the
cartridge contained no bullet A big
crowd had gathered around the cath
edral at the time; but the feeling
against the King because of treatm ent
of the late Queen was plainly shown
by the utter Indifference with which
the attempt on his life was taken. In
stead of excitement there was but
murmurings and the remark, ct
would have served him right if he
had been hit was heard repeatedly.
The assassin is thought not to be an
anarchist but insane. The police eX-
amined the assassin who says he is an
Italian named Camera When asked
why he shot at the King he replied:
"There were so many people about
him covered with gold" and refused
to answer other questions. Investi ga
tion shows that the cartridges were
not blank ones, for one bullet crashed
through the carriage of grand mar
shall of the police.
