Pay Your Taxes.
CITIZEN.

The Montpelier Argus says: at may
be said in the collection of taxes that
the new law refuses delinquent tax
payers the right to vote in March meet
ing, and perhaps this is right. The man
who has not enough interest in public
affairs to pay his taxes ought not to have
any voice in the direction of public
affairs" There is no doubt that the new
law will operate toward the payment of
practically all poll taxes. Every voters
poll tax must be paid on or before Feb
ruary ID, in order to allow him to partici-
pate in the election in March. By, or
before February IS, the various candi-
dates for office in March should be pretty
thoroughly aligned and it must be ex-
pected that these candidates, or the
interest behind them, wifi furnish the
money to great many delinquents in
order to give them the privilege to vote.
This will be in effect purchase of the
delinquent taxpayers vote, of course,
but 1t will be practically impossible to
declare it misdemeanor, says the Rut-
land Daily News.

One Million Five Hundred Thous-
and Dollars.

Dear Editor: 1t would be manifestlv
unfair to pronounce judgment in the
removal of the Beer Canteen from the
Army Posts, before the million and a
half dollars appropriated by Congress for
gymnaslums, reading rooms, recreation
buildings, etc. has become operative or
even expended at all,
This appropriation has been made by
Congress III three separate amounts of
100000 each, and only in one or two
Posts are the buildings as yet erected.
The Anti-Canteen legislation by Con
gress, did not abolish the Post Exchange
at all but only that department of the
Exchange in which liquor was sold, and
yet we are told by Congressman Little
field Of Maine, that the entire Exchange
has been closed in many instances
evidently to bring into disrepute the
Anti-Canteen legislation.
Let Judgement be suspended, and
further Legislation be deferred until the
appropriations are used and the substi-
tutes, that Congress has voted to supply
are in operation. Let the Anti-Canteen
legislation stand as il is.

After the Thieves.

The annual meeting of the Ferrisburg,
Panton, Waltham and Vergennes De-
tecting society for the election of officers
for the current year was held at Yer
gennes Saturday.
This society was organized December
80, 1882, for a mutual protection of
members against theft. In case proper
ty is stolen from member, he is as
sisted, and the society shares in the ex-
pense of running down the thief and
restoring the property stolen.
For several years previous to the
formation of the society this section
had suffered from the depredations of
horse thieves, and the season previous
to its organization no less than 10 horses
were stolen Through the society's eff
forts the majority of these were re-
covered and returned to their owners.
The method used by the society fol-
lows:
"As soon as the loss is made known.
the members are notified, and start out
in different directions. Some seek for
clews along the lake shores others on
the roads leading south towards White
hall, n. Y, and the remainder on the
roads leading north and east. As soon
as clew has been reported to the pru-
dental committee, the other pursuers
are recalled, and the expense thus
stopped. One of the members in a
search for stolen property made 800 miles
much to break up the stealing Of prop
erty in this vicinity, and protecting the
cottages along the lake"
The only other like society in this
state is the Bridport and Addison De-
tecting society, which has been in exist
ence about 40 years, and is in flourish
ing condition.
