Advertising Vermont.

If merchant were to advertise his
business without making any prepare
ton for his presumptive customers, he
would not be regarded as displaying
the wisdom of Solomon. Yet this is
what some of our Vermont exchanges
are urging this state to do.
The two sides of the question are
we'll shown in the two far-apart papers
this week. The Barton Monitor is ar
dent for advertising Vermont. 1t said:
How would it work to appropriate
proper amount, say $4,000, at each
session of the legislature for the use of
the Vermont Improvement association,
to be used in publishing proper litera-
| ture and its distribution? Better still,

mer attractions upon the markets of
the world, by the use of literature and
printers ink. Some of the western
states are working just such schemes.
1t ought to be good enough for Yer
mont" On the very same day the
Ludlow Tribune was saying this: "a
stranger visited Ludlow last week,
and who was given chance to look
upon the beauties of our lake region,
expressed unbounded delight in the
attractiveness of the place and Won
dered why more "city people" were
not lured hither, where so many
charms of brooks, and lake, and forest
and mountain awaited them. The
wonder was natural enough. But a
conspicuous reason why more lefty
people" do not visit this section every
summer is that accommodations are
comparatively limited; and until this
limit is done away with it isn't OF
much use to talk about larger summer
visitor business.
| What can we do in the way of max.
ing preparation Tor summer guests?
! The building of hotels and the crea
ton OF resorts must be left to individ

make a beginning by building perma

be simplifed to degree.

Of course everyone will have their |
idea about taxation and as far as the |
Monitor is concerned it hopes they will |
all be expressed publicly. This is the |
only method by which proper and
satisfactory result can be obtained. |
The commission, whose report is just
out, dwells on the subject to some
length and many recommendations are
made. Undoubtedly the next leglsla-
ture will make some changes in the
present laws on taxation, but any
change made should be made only af-
ter thorough understanding Of the SUBJ
ject. Taxation is matter over which
the wise heads Of the country have
bothered and to-day no method of taxa
ton in any country or state proves en-
tirely satisfactory to every class of
people Possibly no tax law ever will
be enacted that will be entirely salts
factory and just to every citizen, but
just taxation should be the end and
aim of all. In discussing the report of
the present commission the Monitor
wishes to express it's belief in the
matter and say that it thinks no radical
change should at present be made in
this state. The report shows 1conclu-
sively that the present tax law is fla
GRAVITY violated, in many cases open
", and these violations tend to throw
unjust burdens on certain classes Of
people. 1t fact it showsl that only
about THREE PER CENT of the in
ventories Of the state are legal. Now
suppose the matter was reversed and
only three per cent Of the inventories
were illegal, what effect would it have
on taxation? The Monitor believes
there is nothing radically wrong with
the present law, were it enforced, and
a is it not as easy to enforce the pres
ent law as some new one? The Moni-
tor believes in the adoption of two OF
the commission s recommendations and {
thorough enforcement Of the present
law. The two recommendations that ap
peal to the Monitorare the first and las
recommendations made by the commits
sion. The first, that appointing a ia,
III commission to have control of all mat

ne it with a small tax per tho'
lat sand for lumber taken off ar
on per cord for wood cut. This Woul

ee, ests and timber, an end much to be d

to the present law enforced is, in tt
main, as good a taxation law as We
mont will be able to make.

While we are discussing the matter
of taxation, ought there not to be
some law by which flagrantly unjust
and inflated valuations set on property
by listers, and where the grievance
committee fail to relieve the situation
for any reason, can be righted? The
Monitor knows of one town where nom
resident property owners are ''bled'
by high valuations. The owner of one
certain property told the writer that
he would take one-half the valuation
price set by the listers in that town.
and so told the grievance committee,
but with no avail. This is far from
Just, and there seems to be no law tc
relieve the situation.
