elevator ruins in Richford. the scene Of
the explosion and fire of October z. the
remains Of two of the victims. The num-
bers on the watches were legible. and
from these one watch was positively iden-
titled as that Of William Barney. the en-
gineer. II was supposed that Mr.. Bar
ney's remains were found several DAYS be-
fore outside the elevator foundations a. a
wrench and pail that be was known TO be
carrying just before the explosion were
found, but the Identification Of the
watch makes it appear that Mr.. Barney
must have left his pail and wrench and
gone into the building. The other watch
IS not yet identified. but is thought NAV
have been that of Heman Lahue.

Speaker Cheney was right in holding
the House to its task and not taking q
long recess over election. Time enough
has now elapsed for members to get &C

The Vermont college football cham
pionship was settled at Intercity park.
Montpelier, Wednesday afternoon. when
the University OF Vermont eleven defeat
ed that Of Norwich university, IL to 8.
Vermont had previously won one game
from Norwich, II to 0, but the Northfield
eollegians did their best to tie the record
ct this second game.
Special trains from Burlington and
Mortified brought at least 500 supporters
OF the respective teams from each place.
and they were an enthusiastic lot. A
crowd OF at least 1000 people watched the
game, which was played in . drizzIing
rain.
After five minutes OF hard play. Yer
mont forced her way BY lfnaplnnres
over the Norwich line, but failed to kick
goal. Immediately afterward the cadet
eleven worked q perfect forward pass ana
criss-eross and Reed scooted down the
field and planted the pigskin squarely be-
tween the Vermont's goal posts. Then
the kicking Of the goal by Reed made
the score to 5 in Norwich's favor.
Straight football in about ave minutes
more Of play gave Vermont another
touchdown and Watkins that time kicked
goal The first half thus ended with
all the scoring finished, IL to 6. and Yer
mont had won.
Between halves the Vermont contin-
gent, headed by its college band. sailed
out and did an artistic zig-zag down the
neid. Forth came the cadets, not to be
outdone, and with them was the Mont
peiier Military band. With not too
great care as to where they went. the Nor.
wich men mixed up with the college
band but cool heads among the 3urling.
ton crowd restrained . rush which
seemed inevitable, and caught the crowd
with the good-nstured attitude assumed.
The second half was marked bv Nor
wich's superb defense when Vermont had
taken the ball almost to the n. u. goal
line. There the red-ierseyed players held
Tor downs and booted the bali out of dam
ger. Vermont thereafter played ON the
defensive. Its men were sore from the
hard game with Cornell Saturday and
straight football was all they tried. The
Norwich game was the more open. but
their attempts to work the forward mass
were unsuccessful after the first time.
In spite Of the rain. few fumbIes we're.

Waitsneid Man Points Out Injustice
Of Gov. Prouty's Recommendation
The following letter appeared in re-
cent issue OF the Mortified News ad-
dressed as can Open Letter to Gov.
Prouty'':-
To Governor Prouty,
Montpelier, VI.
Dear Sir:--En your messages TO the leg
islafure you recommend the aboliahment
OF Offsets and tax OF i've mills on in
tangible property, which you name there
in.
Pardon me to Ak why the man who
loans money on a mortgage on farms or
other property is not just as much enti-
tied TO 9 i've per cent mill rate as q man
who buys stocks and bonds; and If not,
why mott n your plan is carried out by
the legislature. it simply amounts TO
thiss All money loaned on farm and
other property will have to be obtained
from banks instead OF direct from indiv-
iduals who have money 70 loan, thus
compelling the borrower to pay q higher
rate Of interest and ct the same time de-
pKive the several cities and town from the
tax on the mortgages. thus making the
tax rate higher.
II Offsets are to be abolished, and il we
must still pay high rate OF interest,
blow win be struck at the farming and
business interests OF the state that viii do
feufoId more harm than offsets could pos
sibly do. Your recommendations, II car
ried out, will give the banks a monopoly
OF the money IoaninR business, which
viii keep the interest rate as high IS the
law will allow. This. and the abolish
ment Of Offsets, will drive young men
from the farms and to the cities Of other
states. Therefore. IL offsets must be
abolished, money loaned at or 4 ~ per
cent should be exempt from taxation.
Again, permit me TO ask why, instead
Of advising the adjustment Of Offsets you
did not suggest that the legislature find
a remedy for the abuses complained of
1t seems to the writer this could be done,
for surely there must be some way to
make taxpayer prove that he really does
owe a certain debt before he is allowed an
offset. This IL a case .of taxing tangible,
not intangible, property.
We believe the abuses complained Of
are due TO the lax administration. OF the
law, rather than 10 the law itself; but il
not the law can be amended. The tax
commission in its report asks us to bear
the burden Of higher taxes through the
Establishment Of Offsets in order to prevent
others from being dishonest. Now, Is
for downright humor, this suggestion
beats anything Bin Nye ever wrote. a But
to the man who pays taxes on two OF
three thousand dollars more than he is
actually worth it viii be grim humor in
deed.
Trusting that this matter may have
your further consideration, before throw
ING any great burden upon the shoulders
Of those least able to bear it, am,
Yours truly,

Nevertheless, il still appears to rs TO be 3
sop to the iaboring man at the expense Of
Justice, and 4 species Of class legislation
undertaken largely for political effect. It
is placing one cia Of deb.s-that for
services-under different category than
another class--that for goods sold. A
man may save 80 clear out Of his wages,
but another may not save cent froma
trustee levy affecting his income from the
sale Of goods or produce. II there is to
be absolute exemption up to $40 for some
Of the people. II ought to be open to all
the people. The present attachment ex-
emptions, about which much is said, ap-
ply to everyone. Now that 50 much is to
be exempted, it would be just as wen to
abolish the trnstee process outright.
The Anti-saloon league wants county
option in Vermont. The argument is
that one or two license towns spoil q
whole dry county, and that each county
should have the right to say whether any
town within It voting yes should be al
lowed to sell or not. There is some force
to this plea, glowing out OF the unques-
toned influence Of towns on their neigh
bors, but county option would hardly
prove a complete remedy, as county lines
have really little to DO with the sitpation.
Here is the license town Of Braintree in
Orange county, for instance, located only
few miles from the borders of Windsor,
Addison and Washington counties. whose
nearby towns have much more interest In
Braintree's action than do towns way
over on the Connecticut in Orange coun-
ty. The same applies to Hancock, on the
edge Of Rutland county. Then there Is
the probability that in large city like
Burlington, naturally for license, rum
will be sold anyway, and especially il it
is restrained only by the adverse votes Of
other parts Of the county. This was one
Of the weaknesses Of the old prohibitory
law-it did not recognize that sentiment
differed in various parts Of the state, and
that it was 3 difficult matter to suppress
the rum traf8c where it was in large
measure sustained and shielded by local
feeling.
