Tax Commission a Makesh shift.

We trust that the Legislature does not
believe for moment it will satisfy the
people who are demanding relief from
unequal burdens of taxation, much less
carry out the pledge embodied in the
State Republican platform on which vic
tory was won last September, by lodging
the task of affording some measure of
relief and RELOCATING the whole problem
of tax reform to another State Commits
sion.
Under the circumstances it requires no
argument to show that reference of tax
alton to paid commission will be merely
an expensive as well as needless make
shift.
Vermont's tax problems have been re-
ferred to commissioners in previous years,
and we have had various remedies as
well as voluminous reports, which are
still available, but no Legislature has APP
parently been ready to take the first step
toward putting any of the remedies sug-
gested into practice.-Burlington Free
Press.
AS used to be said after the war, in
regard to resuming specie payment, the
way to resume is to resume. So the
way to avoid double taxation is to avoid
it; and it is as simple as anything can
be, if only Legislature wishes to do it.
If they do not, there might be thous-
and legislative commissions, but no law
would be passed. 1t is the old story
that-any one can lead horse to water;
but no one can make him drink.
Of course, double taxation could be
avoided by avoiding it.
Thus if A sells a farm to B for $4,000,
and receives $1,000 cash and notes for
$4,000 secured by a mortgage on the
farm, A is supposed to pay taxes on
$4,000, and on the farm which may be
appraised at $4,000 or less. This is double
taxation, which may be easily avoided
by A paying taxes on four-fifths
of the farm, and B on one-fifth.
In this case the notes should not be
taxed OF course A should pay taxes on
the $1,000 paid in, unless placed SO as
to exempt it from taxation. The sale
or transference of property should not
in the least affect the taxes due there
from to the Town, County or State.
Those taxes should be the same after
the transference as before; and in this case
the same amount of money is received
for taxes, after the transaction as was
received before. There is no longer
double taxation.
The principle here announced is all
that could be brought forth by a thous-
am commissions and we already have
"a supertluity of commissions. If our
Legislatures were what they should be,
that is, composed of honest and able men
kept in office a number of years instead of
being changed every election, there would
be no need of any commissions, excepting
such as are required to look after things
that the Legislature is not able to look
after, such as a railroad commission.

FIRE IN BURLINGTON.
American Block Burned-Woman
Loses Her Life

Burlington. Dec. l7.-One woman was
lamentably burned to death and 81 people
were made homeless in a $4,000 fire
which broke out about ) o'clock Sunday
morning last and burned to the
ground the old American house, and
Quilted the upper floors of the two ad
joining blocks The roof of the block
adjoining the latter, was burned and
damaged by water, while fire slightly
damaged one room in the City Hotel
block. 1t is thought the fire originated
in barrel of ashes on the lower piazza
at the rear of the hotel building.
Soon after the start of the fire it was
rumored that Mrs. Conrad had not been
rescued.
The body of the unfortunate woman
was found in the ruins. She was carried
to the second floor by a boarder but
broke away from him and went up stairs
1t is supposed, to get some money known
to have been in her room.
There were many narrow escapes re-
lated of the q persons who were in the
building, a number of whom were child
rem. The flames were subdued about 8
o'clock after a stubborn fight of the fire.
