In an interview recently given out
in Washington, John Sharp Williams,
the minority leader in the house, de-
clares that the senate will not dare
pass the campaign publicity bill with
the obnoxious Crumpacker amend
ment attached thereto. He ayers that
the amendment was tackled on as a
bluff to prevent the passage Of a bill
which would effectually bar the Re
publicans from obtaining campaign
contributions in an illegitimate man
ner. The real object Of the move.
he said, was to enable the Republican
party to retain the precious privilege
Of procuring contributions for the
impending campaign and to prevent
the people from ascertaining the
source of these contributions. Sen
ators Johnson, of Alabama, Frazier,
OF Tennessee, and McLaurin, of Mis-
sissippi, all agree that it will be inn
possible for the bill to pass in the
upper house.

The time for the payment of priv
ilege taxes expires on the first Of
June, and Sheriff Prowell and his
deputies have been quite busy the
past few days taking in money from
merchants and professional men. IN
some instances licenses have been
increased, and on few commodities
the tax is rather high. On Coco-Cola,
for instance. the tax is $4,000 when
served at soda fountains and $3.50
when retailed in bottles. Many diff
ferent kinds of establishments han
die Coca-Cola. and the revenue from
this source is very large.

SPECIAL TAX REPORT
Law Compiled With in Only 8 Per
Cent. of Assessments.

Frequent and fragrant violations
Of the tax laws, both by listers and
by taxpayers, and too low appraisal
of property throughout the state are
charged in the report submitted at
Montpelier Wednesday to Governor
Fletcher d. Proctor by the Vermont
commission on taxation, appointed
by the governor in accordance with
an act of the legislature Of 1906. The
report was made public Tuesday.
The commission is composed OF 0.
N. Barber OF Bennington, John II
Senter OF Montpelier, George w.
Pierce of Brattleboro, A. A. Ohm
stead Of Newbury, L. P. Slack of
St. Johnsbury, and Ernest Hitch
cock of Pittsford.
The commission recommends the
creation of state tax commission of
three members in place Of the pres
ent single commissioner, the addi-
tional taxation OF intangible prop
erty; and many amendments designed
to strengthen the present tax laws.
The report declares that less than 8
per cent of all the inventories on file
are filled out as required by law, that
many taxpayers file no inventories,
and that if the law imposing pen
atty OF $500 upon lister for accept
ing an inventory not properly made
out were enforced the forfeiture thus
incurred for 1907 alone would
amount to more than $40, 900.
Real estate, according to the re-
port, is now appraised on the aver
age throughout the state at not more
than 10 per cent of its value, and as
a result the state school and highway
taxes yield in the aggregate So, 900
less each year than would be the
case if the law were complied with.
AS to personal property, the conf
missioners say the conditions are
even worse.

in derbies. He was evidently hard
to please, for soon the counter was
covered with hats that he had tried
on and found wanting. At last the
salesman picked up a brown derby,
brushed it off on his sleeve and ex-
tended it admiringly,
"These are being very much worn
this season, sir" he said, "Won't
you try it on"
The customer put the hat on and
surveyed himself critically in the
mirror, "You're sure It's in style ?"
"The most fashionable thing we
