New York Herald.
 Mir. Shaw has gone far beyond any of his predecessors Ill the number and diversity of the expedients he has adopted and in the evasion or loose interpretation of the laws to justify their adoption. Setting aside charges that he has favored certain banks or particular interests. the fact remains that this it too great and dangerous a power to be exercised by any Govern ment official It is a situation fraught with perilous possibilities. and Con- gress could render no more important service to the country than to imme- diately pass a bill directing that Treas ury funds be kept In the banks. This would remove all necessity and pre- text for meddling and muddiing and leave the money markets of the coun- try to be regulated by the banking and business community and the automatic operation Of trade reaulrements.

REVOLUTIONARY PENSIONERS.

Our news columns recently contained
the announcement of the death of Esther
S. Damon ut Rutland, in whom more
than ordinary interest centered owing to
the fact that she was the sole surviving
widow of a soldier of the Revolutionary
war According to Commissioner of Pen
sions Warner, Mrs. Damon's husband
Noath Damon. had military record
covering more than five years. He first
enlisted on April 49, 1915, in Captain Tuck
er's company of Massachusetts troops.
Afterwards he served in a number of or
CARNATIONS, the last being Captain Caleb
Champney's company from which he was
discharged in the fall Of 1850. The public
records Of the pension office do not show
when Mrs. Damon married the gallant
Revolutionary war hero but it must have
been during hts last years and while she
was still very young.
1t is interesting in this connection to
note that according to the official re-
cords there are now only three persons
on the pension rolls, charged TO the
Revolutionary war. They are all daugh-
ters of soldiers, and We're pensioned by
special acts Of Congress The last survivor
of the Revolutionary war was Daniel f.
Brakeman, who died In Freedom, Cat
1869, at the ripe old age of 100.

Some time ago q contemporary argued
that the fact that Governor Bell enforced
the law in the case of Mary Rogers did
not necessarily mean that he believed in
capital punishment. This whole question
seems to have been cleared up by former
Governor Bell himself in a recent inter
view at Denver. where he was attending
the sessions of the National Grange. He
expressed his views on capital punish
unent as follows: II hanged Mary Rogers
because 1t was the law; not because be-
Neved in capital punishment. I did not
believe in II then, but that execution has
firmly convinced me that capital punish
ment is right If it is right for you to
shoot a man in self defense 1t is right
for the State to hang you in defense of
your neighbors."

It is interesting to note in this con-
ncction that while President Rooscvelts
proposition is being received with favor
by come of the republican congressman
Of the West, the existence of a surplus
as a result OF our present large national
revenues will render II a difficult matter
to devise an excuse for taxation on large
fortunes. We wish at this time, how
ever, to refer to the marked demand for
taxation reform rather than the possi-
bility of carrying out any plan of ma
tional legislation for taxation of great
fortunes.
The indirect taxes resulting from the
operation o. tariff laws on our nationa,
statutes and the taxation of corporations
in the different States fall largely on tho
common necessaries of life and on visible
property. They are therefore imposed
without regard to the question of ability
to psy.
The day laborer must pay just as high
for the food he consumes as the million
aire In proportion even though in many
cases it takes practically his all to pro-
vide for his large family. The merchant
who is struggling to pay back borrowed
money to n bank may contribute moro 70
through corporation taxation in increas ed
freight. and express tariffs than the mil.
ting off his coupons or cashing his divi-
dend checks received from shares in va.
rlous corporations.
The Boston Herald in discussing the
situation In Massachusetts says that "thc
greater share of the personal property
of the very rich men escapes taxation
either by fctions of residence. or by tn,
devious arts of evasion and concealment
This puts an undue burden upon real es
tate. which In the end is for the greater
part borne by rent payers and by those
to whom in other ways n high tax rat,
means an increased cost Of living"

| able force to Vermont as we'll as Massa
chusetts, but the prime necessity of Yer

fair play and a fair chance. This Ques
| ton has been investigated by commits
sions and discussed by press and platform
galore, but no action has been taken.
A remedy Is what the State republican
platform held out to the voters of Yer
mont, and. while gratifying progress Ia
been made in other directions, the neccs
sity of fulfilling that pledge should not n
