more nearly eQualize the burdens of
taxation than at the present tine.
Personally | feel that the greatest
difficulty with our system of taxation
is non-taxation, that is those people
who have large amounts of property
fail to pay their just proportion As
the law Is today a man owns a small
farm on which he must pay his full
share of taxes. On the other hand a
man may be possessed of a million
dollars in stocks and bonds and all
he has to do is to refuse to make an
inventory in which case the listers
may find what they can and double his
list, which may not amount to hun
dredth part of what he is actually
worth. ! am well aware that this is a
very hard matter to regulate but we
should certainly make an honest effort
to do away with any such state Of af-
fairs and have great hopes that when
the report of the commission is receiv.
ed some remedy will be offered which
will appear to be feasible. trust
that when such report is received and
is placed before the legislature no has
~ action will be taken as has been
done some times in the past.

believe the resources of our state
are very great not only in our quarries
and mines but in our undeveloped wat,
er powers and our beautiful scenery
and that it would be for the best in
terests OF our state to have the board
of agriculture or some other equally
suitable agent take all means posi-.
BILE to advertise our resources and at
fractions to those residing elsewhere
with view of bringing them to Yer.
mont either as visitors or permanent
residents.
1t is true that our state expenses
have been increasing very rapidly and
that during the last session of the leg
islature more money was appropria-
ted than during previous sessions but
was partly owing to the fact that our
state institutions had not been kept in
suitable condition and it was neces.
sary to make many needed changes

son For Interference.
BIG MOOSE LAKE TRAGEDY

Albany. March 26.-Chester Gillette
OF Cortland must die in the electric
chair at Auburn prison next week for
the murder of his sweetheart, Grace
Brown of South Otselic, at Big Moose
lake two years ago. Governor Hughes
last night definitely announced that he
had carefully examined the evidence
in the case and had found no ground
which would justify him in interfering
with the judgment of the court.
Apparently nothing can save Gillette
now from death, probably next Monday
morning in the gruesome little death
chamber at Auburn. except the remote
possibility of stay of execution
pending appeal to the United States
Supreme court. So far as is known
here no such appeal is contemplated.

TAFT IN MOVING PICTURES
Caught While Reviewing Cavalry and
Artillery at Fort Myer,

Washington, March 25.--Moving
freely about In the evolutions incident
to review of the cavalry and artil-
lery at Fort Myer, Secretary Taft Sat
urday was caught in notable series
OF photographs by moving picture
company representatives who passed
the day at the fort in an effort to de-
pict Mr. Taft as secretary of war, free
from the posing incident to ordinary
photographing.
Secretary Taft and General Bell, on
their mounts, moved about the field
at will. 1t was an ideal day and the
movements of all the party which
went from this city to the post across
the Potomac, including Mrs. Taft and
MIR. and Mrs. Charles Taft, we're de-
picted clearly In the running work of
the films, which showed In detail how
the secretary Of war appears and acts

LIBERALS LOSING GROUND
Defeated In London District on the
Licensing Issue.

London, March 25.--The most keen.
ly fought bye-election for the present
Parliament. which was necessitated
through the death of Charles Goddard
Clarke, member for Peckham, dis
trict in London south of the Thames,
resulted yesterday in sweeping vic
tory for the Unionists whose candidate
$. c. Gooch, was elected by major
ity of 1889. The contest conferred
largely on the government licensing
bill and the conversion of large Lib
eral majority into still greater Con
sentative majority is striking dem.
onstration against that measure.

FOR A SAP SIGNAL
M. J. Hapgood OF Peru Offers Sugges'
ton TO Sugar Makers.

Editor of the Banner THE chief,
and in fact, only objection that can be
raised to the use of covers foc sap
buckets is that with the ordinary mir
ed help great deal of sap is liable
to be left ungathered, Otherwise
these bucket covers are of well night
inestimable benefit.
Now by the use of simple plan
they can be OF great use in guarding
against neglect of gathering. When
ever a gathering is made, let the coy
ers all be left UP the first time around
and down the next and so on alter
nately, the covers acting as the most
completely seryiceable signal that
could possibly be devised, and any pos
sible objection against them being
thereby turned into the most forcible
argument for them
OF course the main use for the COW
ers isto protect from storms. The GOV
ers would naturally, be down half OF
the time anyway and short time
would turn them down, when left up,
in case of threatened storm.

WOMAN FOUND DEAD
ON BATHROOM FLOOR
Untimely End of Mrs. Bour-
geat Shocks Society-Gas
Is Turned On.

Members OF the older residential cir
clio IN Washington were deeply shocked
at the sudden death OF Mrs. Bella Kill
0ourn Bourgeat, who was found dead
from asphyxiation yesterday morning in
the bath room Of her apartments by
her sister. Mrs. Frank Gordon. Mrs.
bourgeat was member Of one OF the
Oldest and best-known families OF
Washington, and at one time was con-
spicuously idenJihed with the social his
tory OF the Capital. Mrs. Bourgeat' had
locked herself securely IN the room.
When she retired Saturday night Mrs.
Bourgeat was apparently in good spirits.
She chatted with Mrs, Gordon. whose
apartments are Just across the narrow
hallway, and reminded Mrs. Gordon to
call her at S O'Clock Sunday morning.
When Mrs Gordon raped on her sister s
door the following morning there was
no response. and she decided 90 let Mrs
Bourgeat sleep a little longer. Nearly
an hour passed before Sirs. Gordon
r. gain went 10 her sisters door, and re-
ceivtng nc response the second time she
entered the room Mrs. Bourgeat was
not IN her bed room. and Mrs. Gordon
went % tie bath room and found the
door locked inside.
Thoroughly alarmed Mrs. Gordon sum
u,Oned others In the house, and when
the door was forced open AIRS. Bourgeat
was found on the bath room moor dead
The gas was turned on, and subsequent
ly the coroner gave a certificate OF death
by asphyXiation Mrs. Bourgeat had
been very respondent recently because
OF ill health, but there was nothing
in her manner Saturday night 70 lndi-
cate that she was unduly melancholy.
Mrs. BOrs.geat was a daughter OF the
late Hallet Kilbourn. ar one time n
