The independence Party.

John ID. Spellman OF Rutland, nurse
Of the baby independence party Of
Vermont, has taken steps TO have his
state ticket on the official ballot. and
the voters viii have an opportunity to
pass upon it next September
II a new party desires its ticket print
cd on the official ballot, the law says,
it must file with SECRETARY Of state a
list of names aggregating at least one
per cent of the otal vote east at the
last previous election for governor. At
the last election the total vote was
70.4sa. Mr.. SpeIlman, according to the
Montpelier Argus, filed list Of 764
names, or 50 over and above the res
quired number OF these $40 were from
Rutland and ISIS from Brandon Mr.
Spellman, the Argus reports, says this
IL good showing and that he did not
work hard to get the names, seeing but
d few of the residents of either place.
He told the Argus that there will be
a lively camapign in some Of the west
ern towns in the coming election for
town representative and that the indie
penaence League is strong in Rutland,
Brandon and Burlington.
Various opinions as to the strength
Of tine new party are expressed by the
State press Perhaps the consensus is
expressed BY the Nergennes Vermont.

special committee chosen TO investigate
the taxation evils OF the state and TO
report remedies has come out with a
pronunciamento in favor OF a new com.
mission. It will be argued that they
must have found overwhelming evidence
in favor OF such deviation from the
established policy OF the state, or else
they would not have had the hardihood
A careful perusal OF their report, which
is published to-day, eonvinees us that
they have made out good case and
that the dire abuses of the taxation
system, as we'll as the miserable dere-
LECTION OF individual officials and mani
fest inrIstiee OF cases constantly crop
ping up, constitute ground enough for a
demand for a commission with state
given power to rectify and reform. To
our mind, this call for q commission
overshadows completely The question of
double taxation, which so.called abuse
was the cause Tor the investigation in
the first place. Double taxation is a
mere trihe compared with palpabe
abuses which have been revealed in YER
mont, and thel ike of which have been
remedied in other states by the estab-
fishing of tax commission with power,
as we are informed by the excellent
presentation of the case by our investi-
eating commission.
Therefore, The Times believes it would
be sound policy for the state of Yer.
mont to legislate state tax commits.
sion into being and invest that body
with the necessary prerogatives. Such
an act would be but step at most,
for we already have state tax commits
sioner, whose chief work is the collecting
OF corporation taxes, a work which has
been found to be extremely important
in the financial side of the states adj
ministration. Add one man, or two men
at most, and make il a commission.
Then let this commission exercise su-
pervisory influence over local, as well as
state taxation. We believe that such
step would be extremely beneficial to
the state and trust that the next legis-
lature will inaugurate the system.

Barre will have to get awfully busy
to maintain the reputation of being the
toughest city in the state. In Rutland
county Jail at the present time, nine
prisoners are confined, charged with muir
der, three charged with assault with
intent to Kill, and two with arson.
They are not all from Rutland city,
but several are from there and Others
from towns in close proximity.-Mont-
peIier journal.
Why Barre? Several other communi-
ties in Vermont made haste to tack ''the
toughest city" on Barre for fear that IT
would be tackled on them. 1t never
really fitted. We can name a half dozen
towns in Vermont that deserve the name
more than Barre.

A TAX COMMISSION FOR VERMONT.
common complaint in Vermont is
that we have too many commissions, a
commission for this, that and the other
branch OF administrative work, thus pill
ing up great expense upon the state.
There is much OF force in the complaint,
it is admitted; and the inclination has
been toward reducing the number OF
such commissions. Failing to reduce the
number of commissions, the state has
followed out the next best plan, which
is, cutting down the membership of the
various commissions wherever practical
bic, it having been found that in some
instances the work of the department
could be done by one man instead of
the three, as formerly. Thus, the state
has been saved considerable expense,
while at the same time the efficiency of
the work has not been impaired, we
believe. In this way the general policy
OF less commissions has been adhered
to-
Now, in the face Of this policy, the

ing declined to be a candidate
for reelection as Corporation
Commissioner, it will be neces-
sary for the State convention toI
name his successor. Major Hen
ry A. London, of Chatham coun-
ty, is a candidate for this soffice,
and is so eminently fitted for the
place that the convention cannot
do better than to nominate him.
He is gentleman OF the high
est personal integrity, culture and
intelligence. He is alawyerofwide
experience both in the practice
of hisprOfession and in the halls
Of legislation, thus broadening his
grasp of affairs and his capacity
to serve the interests of the State,
his loyalty to which has been de-
monstrated by his service as a
gallant and dashing young SOL
der in the Civiliwar, and by his
entire life, both public and pri-
vate, since the, war.
| Of a calm, discriminating, iu-
dicial temperament, unbiased by
prejudice on the one hand or the
arts of the demagogue on the
other, he is peculiarly fitted to
fill with honor the position to
which he aspires, and to discharge
its duties with justice and fair
ness to the State and to the cor
porations. 1t is hardly necessary
to mention the Well-known fact
thathehasbeen always aloyaland
