TAXING THE FARMER

1t may be that the Vermont farmer
gets some small favors in the way of
hedgehog legislation but when it
comes to weightier matters his inter
ests are not so carefully attended.
In taxation, for instance, he has the
heavy end of the log to carry. and
successive legislatures seem to move
the load his way every year. Prac-
ticaily everything the farmer owns
or has, or has the use OF. is taxed
and taxed good and hard. The
special exemptions are notably few

When Charles II. Darling of Ben
nington was member of the legisla-
ture in 1896, he impressed all his asso-
ciates with his marked ability, his
exceeding sense OF fairness and his
attention to business. All of these
qualities he is displaying as assistant
secretary OF the navy, so that it is no
surprise to hear him mentioned as a
promising candidate to succeed Secre-
tary Moody.

that affect him favorably. Unless he
happens to have enough personal
property to equal any debts that he
may owe. his debts do not tighten his
burden. He cannot apply his debts
toward his real estate and pay taxes
on what he is really worth, as the
merchant or professional man can.
The amount of money that the aver
age Vermont farmer can evade taxa
ton on up to $4,000, by depositing it
in a~sayings bank is limited for good
and sufficient reason. His household
furniture and personal belongings
amount to little compared with his
town neighbor's, who may have
several thousand dollars invested in
costly parlor suits, carpets, fixtures,
pianos, watches-in fact all that
makes up the modern home OF lux
nry-witnout paying a cent OF taxes
on it. The farmers horse is taxed. |
but the townsman's bicycle is not.
Nobody thinks OF exempting a farmer
because his business is helpful to the
community, but manufacturing enter
prises often receive such favors.

in this state are located In farming
towns where the grand list is small,

THE RULE OF THE MOB.

1t is no light matter-this rapid
spread OF the mania of lawlessness
over our fair land. Its magnitude
is sufficient to startle. every sober
minded citizen who loves his country.
1t has been fondly supposed that the
pioneer days when men were shot at
the dropping OF the nat and when
every person was law unto himself
and went armed accordingly were
over, and that more civilized epoch
had been reached when the arm of the
law was sufficiently strong to insure
justice and tranquility and to punish
offenders. Yet we have seen within
the past dozen years a spectre arise in
the South and move stealthily onward
until its wings float almost over New
England-the spectre of mob rule: its
prey the luckless wretch suspected of
some crime which has inflamed the
popular passion.
Lynching, indeed, is no new thing.
1t abounded in the West during the
early days. But there was this excuse
Tor It then, it served the purpose OF
rude justice when justice, as exempl-
fed by law, Jagged behind at the ,
borders of refinement. The lvnchinps
that we have now are not of that order
at all, but answer to a spirit of blood I
thirstiness and hunger for revenge a
hat better became our red-skinned 9

the source from which came all this

Irrigationists Fighting lum-
Der and Cattle Men
LATTER ARE PLAYING FOR DELAY
The Irrgationists Are Demanding
the Repeal of the Three
Acts.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. ia
sharp struggle has begun between the
vast interests in the west which are
in favor of and opposed to the repeal
of the public land laws. On the one
side are the organized irrigat1onlsts
of thirteen states, while on the other
are the lumber, and cattle barons
Both sides have millions to win or to
lose.
Here is the situation briefly: The
irrigationists charge that vast areas
Of the public domain have been Sc
cured by private interests for made
quate compensation, by fraudulent
manipulation and evasion of the public
land laws The lands have been OBJ
tanned for grazing and numbering pur-
poses by the use, or misuse, of the tim
Der and stone act, the desert land act
and the communication clause Of the
homestead act. The lands have been
obtained for a nominal price per acre
and are held in extensive tracts by
comparatively few owners.
The irriga tionists complain that the
denudation of the forests will dry up
the sources of water needed for irri-
CATION They also complain that the
great cattle companies are securing
lands for range purposes which ought
to be reserved by the government for
irrigation purposes and individual set

THOUGHT THEM BURGLARS.
Colony of Squirrels Brighten Evanston
Family and Cause Trouble.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Squirrels in
the attic of an Evanston house broke
the slumbers of a family, caused a bur-
glar scare and kept three Evanston po-
|icemen busy for six hours attempting
70 drive the fsturbers from their re-
treat Last night there was peace
and quiet for the first time in three
days.
With the advent of cold weather the
SQUIRRELS, which had frisked about on
the lawn during the summer, moved
into the attic of the Scott residence.
They awakened the family on two sue
cessive nights and then caused gen
uine alarm.
What on earth is that noise?" ex-
claimed Mr. Scott as he was awaken
ed by a mysterious tapping and
scratching in the garrett
"Burglarsl" gasped Mrs. Scott.
Her husband stealthily made his
way to the telephone and called up the
police station.
"Burglars.' he repeated over the
phone.
The patrol wagon dashed down Ma
pie avenue ana two policemen ran up
the front steps of the Scott residence
revolvers In hand. In minute the
police assisted by the Scott family and
the neighbors, were making a search
for the burglars in the garnet. Nothing
resulted. All was quiet.
The police were stationed outside and
the Scott family went back to bed
Half an hour later the strange noises
were heard again. The search was re-
n wed, but no masked burglars were
discovered.

liceman McEnery defiantly.
Captain John Marsch sent another
bluecoat to the scene, and the house
was surrounded. There until dawn
three policemen guarded the house,
while Mr.. Scott sat up inside.
At daylight a policeman saw some
thing creep out cautiously on the roof.
He took a shot and brought down a

life and devote his time to looking af-

to return to Walla Walla to make his
permanent home.
"Walla Walla in my judgment is one

Mott said this morning. The natural
resources are such that the town in
