| passage OF this measure so that in rising
to introduce the subject for discussion

represent the committee on taxation, bat
! my strong, personal sentiment that tbs
| Dill ought to become law Now, un-
fortunately for me. | have had out little
experience In debating a subject in the
! presence of so large an assembly SO that
| ! trust there may he accorded to me the
| lcniencv which desire
| The entire subject of taxation is
| involved in tho consideration of this bin
| IT IS indispcnsably necessary in handing
the tax problem OF this State that it
! shoUll not be fixed UP into Il thing of
shreds and patches, but we should
! dispose Of tho tax matter i'm toto | mean
| by that that if We have an equitable
! taxation law in Vermont. that the great.
fundamental question Of the state i
what shall he tho policy of taxation?
And in the consideration OF that policy
Il is necessary now. as conditions exist
In Vermont, that we should Hrst abolish
the offset. next place small tax on
Intangible, and th.,, go ahead ara corn
olcte our work by creating tax commits
sion that shan see to It that We have
an honest administration Of the law. We
nre not here to consider one thing mere
~ but the House must carry along in tts
