10 decay; that he has not kept the
tillage land in a proper state Of fer
tivation but has sold so loads of fer

route Of the proposed railroad, which is
as follows: II shall start from some

point on the Central Vermont railway

Subject for Animated Discussion Before
Legislative Committee.

The taxation Of automobiles according
to their horsepower was the subject Of
an animated discussion before the com.
mittee on highways and bridges at the
State House in Montpelier last night.
Chairman o. L. Martin Of Plainiield pre-.
sidcd.
John W. Gordon Of Barre opened the
discussion by attacking the bill under
discussion. II. 4Sl, as class legislation,
lie said there was no accurate rule for
testing horse power except brake test,
and compelling an owner 20 swear there
10 practically made him commit perjury.
lie said Il was also unjust, as II made
no distinction between old and new ma.
chimes, and imposed az much tax on a
30.horse power machine that cost 81 800
as one Of the same horse power that
cost $1,000. The poor man would pay a
larger tax in proportion than the rich.
h. l.. Bates OF Bennington and Dr. H.
II. Ross OF st. Johnshury followed along
the same lines, the latter calling atten.
ton 10 the constitutional provision
which declares that the burden OF taxa
tion shall lie equally.
Secretary Lester II. Green OF the Ver-
mont Automobile club presented 45 let.
tors from automobilists, one signed BY
Ii residents Of MOrnsYille. The latter
called attention TO the fact that the bill
would take the machines from the local
tax lists and deprive the owners OF the
right TO Offset their debts. 1t also called
for a sliding scale OF valuation. A let.
ter from w. d. Woolson Of Springfield
said the bill was unreasonable and
might just as properly propose to tax a
horse on his speed. The letter said 1t
would make bad blood between the state
and the automobile owners.
Repre- sentative H. G.. BARBER said the
bill was wrong In principle. All taxation
laws are based on value. There are l75
machines in Brattieboro that pay local
taxes and they ought not TO be removed
from the list. II would be dangerous
precedent.
Guy w Bailey, secretary Of state,
answered questions in regard to the
method OF estimating horse power. lie
said the method condemned BY Mr.. Cor
don was that adopted BY the American
association Of licensed automobile dealers
and by the Royal automobile club OF
England lie read from the report re-
garding local taxation Of machines in
81. Albans, Burlington, Barre and Mont
pelier. Many OF the machines licensed
escaped local taxation and all Of them
we're listed at very low figure, ayerag-
ing a little over $500 each. Questioning
Mr.. Gordon, he drew out the fact that
there were half dozen machines in
Barre that were practically worthless.
Representative Allen Martin of Essex
Junction defended his bill He thought
a practical basis for estimate could be
secured If the bin passed. and showed
that there could be no perjury in connec.
tion with swearing 10 the horse power

FIVE BOLD YEGGMEN
SPED AWAY In AUTO
Before Beginning Their Work
the Robbers Locked Up
Cashier Tarbell and Wired
the Neighbors Into Their
Houses.

Pepperell, Mass, Dec. 2.-Fiye arm.
cd robbers blew up the safe in the First
National bank this morning and got
$4,000. They fed in an auto and un.
der a rain Of bullets. Ernest Tarbell
who had been locked up by them broke
out Of his confinement just as the
yeggs were fleeing. The yeggs fired
back as their auto sped away in the di-
rection of Worcester. The police in
that city and towns in the southern
part of New Hampshire are seeking
traces Of the yeggs. The robbery was
committed before daylight.
Before beginning their work the rob-
bers first fastened the doors of several
houses nearby, using wire for the pur-
pose. There were three explosions in
all and the bank was reduced to n
complete wreck The safe door was
hurled across the room, and the whole
front was blown ont.
HALF an hour after the robbery a big
automobile sped through Dunstable,
headed toward Lowell, Aver Or Boston.
At the rate the machine was going it
could have reached Boston within an
hour, and the Boston police as well as
the whole section was on tine lookout
for the men.
Tarbell says there were five men in
the automobile. All of them fred back
as they fed.
A strange feature of the robbery is
that Cashier Tarbell was called on the
telephone yesterday by some mknowp
person and was given the following
warning;
They're going to blow the banks in
pepperell and Aver tonight. Better
look out for yours"
The party then rang off. Cashier
Tarboll laughed and took no notice Of
the warning. The police are seeking
for the mysterious informant here, mop
ing to get clue to the robbers.
