THE COST or 4 ~ RrLis,


Experts who have figured on the
amount OF revenue 10 be produced ay
the various tax bills already enacted
and about 10 be enacted ~ the pres
enf legislature declare that shrso

that i, Ia probable the surplus will
run nearer IN s5.aeo goo year The

the experts say. si.1oo.ooe, These
four taxes alone aggregate $1,000
GOO a year And In addition II Is pro
posed TO pass a gross receipts TAX
thar should yield something over
another million every year. Conse-
quently II all Of these tax laws work
as their authors claim Il is easy TO
see how the states income will be
augmented from three and half
millions a year 10 nine or ten mill
lions.
Now. as the running expenses OF
the entire state government, inelud-
ing all institutions, is estimated this
year to be about four millions. the
extent and possibilities OF an inn
mense surplus begin 10 loom up.
While it is eminently desirable
that the state should be on cash
basis and should have sufficient
money TO pay its bills promptly.
surplus is not desired. The fact that
the money for taxes is taken neces~
sarily from the legitimate channels
Of trade. and to that extent checks
the expansion OF business and the
states growth. coupled with the ad-
ditional fact that a surplus is always
a temptation TO the legislature 70 in
dulge in extravagant and unnecessary
appropriation, constitutes in itself
sufficient argument against accumu-
lating such surplus.
A further fact that makes this par
ticular contemplated surplus full OF
sinister possibilities is that for the
most part it will be drawn directly
from the business interests. Such q
withdrawal of money is bound &c
curtail business and hurt the state
The injury. hence. will be cumulative
and can not be measured by the mere
sum Of money withdrawn. The cos
to the state. indeed, may be many
times that sum.

$12,131.O4

The selectmen state in their annual
report that there is a balance in the
hands of the town treasurer of $1,154.41,.
and that all bills against the town are
paid, but few small ones that came in
too late. The usual repairs of bridges
have been made They are all in good
repair, but some will need to be re-
planked and painted during the year.
Owing to the extensive repairs made on
the town house the accounts for the
building show a deficiency for the year.
The selectmen leased the post Office for
a term of five years at an increased rental
of 1925 per year, and in order TO get the
increase it was necessary to make re-
pairs and alterations in the quarters for
the Office. Taxes for 1906 have been collect
ed within about $500 of the full amount,
part of which can be collected. The fin
ances Of the town are in good condition.
The grand list is $51,344.44. The select
men recommend that a tax of 40 cents on
a dollar of the grand list be raised. The
school directors recommend a tax of so
cents on a dollar of the grand list Of the
town school district. The selectmen make
the following estimate for the coming
year:

Stafford to Succeed Riley as Manager.

Dan Riley has given up the active man
agement of the Athletics and his place
will be taken by Leslie Stafford. Man
ager Riley has put in n lot of time and
work i'm trying to give Brattleboro good
basket ball this season. but as he is
soon to take another business position
he will be unable to devote attention to
the sport. The transfer of the manage
ment will not make any difference in the
team this season as the games have been
mostly arranged The transfer means
merely that the detail Of running the
team and games will be attended to by
Stafford. If he proves as good a man
ager as he has player basketball will not
be a dead issue In Rrattleboro for n long
time. Manager Riley has done enough
to promote basket ball and to give the
lovers of the game the real article this
season to deserve a vote Of thanks His
efforts have been deserving of a much
greater support from the public than he
has received.

A NATION OF cRIPPLEs. RHEuMA.

The Only Hope to Rheumatic Sufferers is
Urle-o Treatment

If rheumatism continues to spread as
1t has in the past few years. Ii would
seem as though We would before long be-
come a nation of cripples. The terrible
destructiVeness of this disease is apparent
on every side of us. Almost nine out of
ten of the cripples one meets had their
atnlcuon brought on by rheuma tism. How
hopelessly bed-ridden and whom we never
see. rheumatism from the very nature
OF the disease, can never cure itself and
If neglected, is bound to grow worse
rather than better. If you ever have any
tWings Of rheumatism go to the Brooks
House Pharmacy right here in Brattle-
6oro and get bottle of Uric-O, the WON
derful rheumatic specific. 1t will cure
you and It is the only treatment in the
and thoroughly: Uric-O cures by its di-
rect action on the muscles, blood and kid
neys. 1t seeks out the poisonous uric
and rheumatic acid and drives 1t from
the system and 1t Is only treatment of
such nature that Will ever cure rheuma-
tlsm; LAniments and plasters only serve
70 drive 1t from one spot to another.
Il primarily a, blood disease, and until
the blood is cleared from the poison,
cure cannot take place.
There never was case of rheumatism
that Urtc-O could not cure and you should
not put on taking II because 1t is in the
end by far the cheapest method. You
can test Uric-O free of charge II you
wish. Just cut out this advertisement
and send 1t to the Smith Drug Co., SYRIA
never used Uric-O and would like to try
II. They will send you free sample
which you can test and try free OF
charge.
