Farmers and the Taxation
Pro b en-

Hon. Charles j. Bell, of Walden,
master of the Vermont State Grange, in
his address in Rutland last week, before
that body, gave the members of that
organization and citizens and taxpayers
of Vermont, generally, something to
think about on the Subject of taxation.
He urged the Changers to work for legis
lation on variousf important subjects
pure food, a state railway commission
with power to fix maximum freight and
passenger rates, revision of official
salaries and fees, an antitrust law with
thorough state inspection of all corpora
tions-but he directed attention princi-
pally to the matter of taxation. He
would have the Grange urge upon the
legislature the demand for a Just and
equitable distribution of the burden of
taxation.
| Mr.. Bell said: SIN Vermont many be-
leve the burden of taxation is not even
ly distributed. We hear of double tax
alton, and on the other hand exemption
from taxation. The Vermont Legislature
for the past 90 years has been large
ajority of farmers, and to this time
they have been unable to make appar-
ent change for the better In some of
our small cities there is more property
exempt from taxation than can be found
taxed in some of the rural towns. Then,
in some of the sparsely populated dis
tricts wealth of timber is annually
harvested which, by being manufac-
tured into lumber, becomes of great
value, yet is moved away without paying
its proportionate tax.
"Would it not be well for the legisla-
ture to enact laws so that all property
would pay its just proportion of taxes,
thereby removing a greater portion of
the burdenf If a law could be enacted
by our next legislature whereby all prop
erty, whether real estate or personal, in
the woods or in the city, within doors or
out in thei sunlight, private property or
corporate, be assessed and no exemptions
whatever, the burden of taxation would
be removed and all would enjoy living
and cheerfully pay a small'taX that they
might continue to live in so goodly a
state.
The Vermont delegation in Congress,
representatives of liberal government,
are bringing to many of our towns the
means whereby costly and subs tantial
buildings are being erected. Why
should not the farmer ask of this same
government aid whereby costly and per-
manent highways could be built through
the more rural sections?
In these days of wise and good gov
eminent, my fellow farmers, we have
only ourselves to blame if, in the wisdo m
of the majority, we do not obtain what
is ours by rightF'
Mr., Bell has certainly sounded the
keynote of the desideratum in taxation
: equal bearing of burdens. equal shar-
ing of benefits, says the Rutland Daily
News. How to secure this desideratum,
! is one of the most iperplexing problems
/ before the commonwealth. If Mr.. Bell
and his order can assist in the solution
of the problem, such assistance will be
, warmly welcomed.

Masonic TEMPLE.

A very pleasant informal gathering of
Free Masons and their ladies was held at
the rooms of Union Lodge, No. 2 F. &
A. NJ. on Wednesday evening, Dec. End
to celebrate the purchase of the old
Masonic hall building by the Lodge.
Nearly one hundred people were present.
This building is specially endeared to the
Masonic fraternity by the fact that the
site was originally purchased from Mid
dlebury college by the Lodge in 1922 and
the building erected the following year
by them in connection with Bros. Daniel
Chapman and Justus Foot, the Lodge
retaining the upper floor for their own
use. They lost their right in the pro-
perty during the black days of the so
called morgan Anti Masonic troubles
but are now again in peaceful possession
and hope that the old building will
never again pass out of the hands of the
fraternity.
The following was composed by Bro.
G. E. Prentis in honor of the occasion:
THE TEMPLE ON THE HILL.
The night OF discomfort
Has passed to brightest day,
The banner of our triumph
We now with pride display.
The sun OF Glory rises
With Light our hearts to FILL
And hearts and voices join to greet
The Temple on the Hill.
The Junior Warden calls us,
The sun is ut its height,
With those who here have met
Let us with Joy unite,
For brethren gone before
Tonight are with us still,
And all are gathered here within
The Temple on the Hill.
The Master In his station,
The brethren on the floor,
Now hail with one accord
The knocks upon the door;
And greetings warm are heard,
Our hearts with pleasure thrill,
Once more we claim as all our own
The Temple on the Hill.
A series of entertainments and dances
will be given to raise money for needed
additions and alterations.
