M. j. Hapgood spent last week in
Montpelier in order to appear at the
public hearing before the Committee
upon taxation, and put in plea for
abolishing all offsets and taxing only
tangible property. He found the legls-
lature very much confused on the sub
ject, and not much likelihood appearing
of any decided action this season. As
a member Of the Sons of the Revolu-
ton and Of the State Historical Society,
he was appointed chairman of a com
mittee to devise and arrange for suit
able memorial for Warner and Baker,
two of the leading heroes Of the Green
Mountain boys, and would be pleased
to receive any suggestions from any
persons interested.
Eleven deer were killed in Peru
last week, three times as many as ever
before during the hunting season. A
natural query is that with such a crop
can't we afford to let them eat a little
something once in whilea Probably
taking the State at large, the record
beats anything the country ever before
experienced in the line of hunting, if
not the world. That is, we doubt if
any such amount Of game was ever be-
fore taken in such limited space and
time since the world opened its affairs.
We, as well as all true sportsmen, sin
cerely trust that the Senate will refuse
passage to the House Bill opening the
season TO does. In this event, the sure
outcome would be the posting in the
interests OF humanity of extensive
tracts against all hunting.
