At the annual meeting of the United

paHy, known as the Pipe Trust, held here
on Wednesday, Andrew H. McNeal, a
resident of this city, and stakeholder of
the company, bitterly scored the present
management of the company's affairs. He
stated that he was convinced that the OBJ
ject of the 10000, 900 company is, and
always has been, to make a market for
and sell its grossly overcapitalized stock
He charged that dividends not earned had
been declared so that those holding large
blocks of stock could sell it at fancy
price. Mr.. McNeal alleged that the direc-
tors did not perform the duties of their
office, and that one period for over year
they did not meet to attend to any bust
ness except to hold the formal and neces-
sary meetings attending the annual one of
the stockholders. Mr.. McNeal stated that
he had frequently appealed to the execu-
tive officers to stop the loose methods in
which business was done and that no at
tention was paid to his request to have the
secretary of the company take the oath of
Office and keep full and complete records
of all the meetings. Mr.. McNeal read
from typewriter statement and was
frequently interrupted by questions and
denials. All the old officers were re-eiect-
ed. J. D. Hill presided at the meeting.

ReIIef t7l from poubIe raxatIon.

In connection with the announcement
that the joint special committee on dou-
BILE taxation are unable to agree upon a
remedy, word comes from Montpelier
that there is a strong sentiment there in
favor of doing away with all exemptions,
thus taxing every species of visible prop
erty. This plan has been often suggested.
1t would undoubtedly largely increase
the grand list. At whose expense? The
real estate holder really owning only
portion of his farm or home would have
taken from him the partial relief that he
now has through his exemptions. The
merchant doing business on borrowed
capital would be handicapped. The manu-
facturer or quarry owner having to pay
taxes on all of his stock in process of
manufacture, regardless of it's real own
ership would be burdened to an extent
that certainly would not aid in the de-
velopment of the prospective Greater Yer
mont.
Who would be the gamer under the
proposed plan unless it be the man whose
stocks and mortgages would be taxed
less in consequence of the lower rate of
taxation that would result from the larger
grand list?
Why should we not stop talking about
our sympathy with the overtaxed class
If we are not willing to give them a law
that will take FROM rather than add to,
their burden?
What was one of the things we espec-
tally promised to do when we were in the
stress of last summers campaign?

The storer Episode.

Mr.. and Mrs. Bellamy Storer Of Gin
cinnau have occupied a big place in the
public eye this week-bigger probably
than they will ever hold again. Mr.. Stor-
er was summarily dismissed from the post
of ambassador to Austria Hungary last
March by President Roosevelt. The
trouble came from the activity Of Mr..
and Mrs. Storer in attempting to promote
the appointment of Archbishop Ireland
to the cardinaate, Mr. Storer's refusal
to answer the Presidents letters and the
publication of various private letters. Mr..
Storer recently prepared an extended brief
in defense Of himself in which he reviews
the circumstances leading up to his dis
missal In the paper he introduces va
rious private letters written to Mr.. and
Mrs. storer by the President The stor--
er statement, which is said to have been
prepared for private circulation, in some
way was spread broadcast in the news
papers and President Roosevelt replied
to it at length. This brought out re-
Joiner from Mr.. storer and the three
communications have filed yards of good
newspaper space all over the country.
Historically, the Storer affair will soon be
an episode, although It is likely to re-
main the main event in the lives. OF the
statesman from Cincinnati and his wife.
Mr.. Storer was formerly a congressman
and became intimately acquainted with
Mr.. Roosevelt when the latter was civil
service commissioner in Washington.
Storer was appointed minister to Belgi-
um by the late President Mckinley, after
ward minister to Spain, and was pro-
NOTED by President Roosevelt TO the am
bassadorship at Berlin. 1t Is not difficult
to read between the lines that Storer
owes his downfall to his oficious and
ambitious wife and to her failure to draw
the line between the President officially
and Theodore Roosevelt, the individual.
