NO DIRECT GENERAL TAX.


Inasmuch as the general state tax was
formerly inquired as part OF the general
tax in each city and town and The rate
of taxation in various towns like Bur
lngton has remained unchanged many
people may have overlooked the fact that
they are paying no general State tax
AS a matter of fact the only taxes paid
by tho people of Vermont into the state
treasury are the state school and high
way taxes, but nasmuch as the proceeds
tho various cities and towns, the fact
remains that the taxpayers OF tho State
as whole pay nothing whatever toward
the maintenance Of the state government,
the state institutions and whatever pub
lie improvements arc undertaken by the
commonwealth. When the question OF
avoiding the necessity of a direct TAX was
first preached, the opinion was expressed
by many people that it would he impos
sible, in view Of the multiplication of de-
mands upon the state treasury.
The statement issued by State Treasurer
Cushman taken together show that this
feat has been practically accomplished
and indicated the way this end has
been reached When direct taxation of
the people was abandoned for the OK
penscs of the State government, it became
necessary TO look for other sources of in
come. II was found that the savings in
stitrtions of tho state were bearing thor
fair share of the burden OF taxation and
that the railroads were already paying
into the state treasury $50 for every Slot
they received in tho way of gross in
come. a rate OF taxation that would
stacgcr tho average individual taxpayer.
state Commissioner Cushman lookcl over
tho list Of corporations and found that
some Of tho appraisals were low and
another source Of income relied upon was
the collateral inheritance tax.
It appears from the reports ut hand
that the receipts from corporation taxes
advanced from sS41. 1874 for tho biennial
period ended Juno so, 1900. to tol1o53. 76
in the succeeding period and to 81. is $50 %
for the term ending June %, 1904, Tic

increased from s3naSs 81 in tho biennial
term ending June 30. 700, to sos S2t 81 in
the next biennial period, while the a-rro-
gate for tho last hionna, term WAS sos
