he was enthusiastically welcomed,
and at which his comparatively brief

interest and interrupted by frequent
Applause. A spirited defense of Presi-

TAX SYSTEM DISCUSSED
Out Of 1885 inventories Examined
Only 1852 Were Correct.

Montpelier, Feb. 12-There was a
small attendance at the public meet
ing held today in the supreme court
room by the double taxation commits
sion. Some letters were received
John e. Gale of Guilford, favored
cutting off all offsets, claiming that it
was difficult to prove the validity of
the claims in many cases. He would
put individuals who loan money on
real estate on the same basis as saw
ings banks in the matter of taxation.
or relieve the savings banks of all
taxation.
This would reduce the revenue about
| $T7 900 and necessitate new sources
of revenue. He would exempt from
taxation all money loaned on real es-
tate at rate not over Az per cent.
1t is said that the last returns to
the secretary of state showed offsets
claimed for debts owing of $36,000Q00
of which s27000.000 was allowed. OF
! 1885 tax inventories examined by
the commission only 1892 were legally
made out. This does not imply whole
sale charges of fraud, but rather in
correct schedules.
An instance was cited OF the only
return made by one corporation in the
shape of letter asking for the same
appraisal as the previous year. when
the concern was taxed on $500. This
request was granted by the listers. 1t
is said that the corporation was known
to own property in the town worth
100000.
DIR. William Stanford Stevens of st
Adams believed that wealthy men
should be induced by liberal tax laws
to come to the state. He believed
corporations should pay local instead
of a state tax. He advocated an in.

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA
Itching, Burning Skin Disease Routed
Without Use of Injurious Drugs.

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
OF their discoveries. Practically the
same thing hal pened in the medical
world in the case of DR.. Decatur ID.
Dennis, the eminent skin specialist of
Chicago.
Dr. Dennis in his own office practice
discovered that pure vegetable oil Of
wintergreen, properly mixed with
other simple remedies was practically
a sure specific for Eczema, psoriasis,
BARRIERS itch, salt rheum, and other
itching skin diseases. But the oil of
wintergreen alone was found ineffec-
tive. 1t required other mild ingredi-
ents such as glycerine and thymol
compounded with the wintergreen to
produce the real eczema cure.
This compounded ID. ID. ID. Prescrip-
ton positively takes away the itch at
onee-the instant 1t is applied to the
skin. This vegetable liquid does away
with deleterious drugs so long used in
an f'tempt to doctor the blood, where
las y 'dern science has determined that
eci IA Is first and all the time skin
dfal Be.
II you want to know more about the
merits of ID. d. ID. Prescription, call at
our store. We vouch for this remedy.

TAFT ADDRESS TO
LINCOLN CLUB
IN MICHIGAN :
Grand Ovation and Frequent Ap-
plause for Secretary
SPEAKS OF LINCOLN'S LIFE
Great Emancipation Would Have Dup.
located the Policies of Mckinley
and Roosevelt.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 13.-The
Lincoln club banquet was brilliant
success with galaxy of speakers
never equaled in Michigan political
banquets. The speakers included Am!
bassador Jusserond, Secretary Taft
and Governor Curtis Guild, Jr, of
Massachusetts.
Although all of the speakers were
greeted with enthusiasm it was Sec
rotary Taft who received the greatest
outburst of applause. 1t continued
for several minutes before he could
begin his address. During his speech
he was interrupted frequently by APP
plause. He spoke as follows:
Secretary Taft entered into a
thorough analysis of Lincoln's char.
acter as man and the views he held
on the public policies OF his day. Mr.
Taft said;
Lincoln was not man stiffly dog
matte. His whole nature was that of
sweet reasonableness and common
sense. Had he been In the seat occu-
pied by Mckinley when the problem
was presented to him after the Span
ish war as to what had been done
with respect TO the Philippines, there
Is nothing In his career. nothing in
any of his speeches properly under
stood which would have prevented
him from taking exactly the same
course which Mckinley took.
And Again can there be any doubt
where Abraham Lincoln would have
stood in the issues which peculiarly dis
tinguished Theodore Roosevelt's ad-
ministration OF today? | refer to the
struggle which he and his admins
tration have made for the elimination
from our business and political fabric
of the corrupting influence of the I'M
lawful business combination and the
demoralizing effect Of disobedience to
law by our great railroad and trans
portation companies. Lincoln would
have made the same good fight which
has endeared Roosevelt to the same
plain people of the country who upheld
the hands of the martyred President
through all the great trials of his ad
ministration."

Foraker has given out statement as
to the result of the primary elections
in Ohio, when the Taft forces made
practically a clean sweep in the sci.
ection of delegates to the coming Re
publican state convention Senator
Foraker says in part:
Nobody should be either surprised
or misled by the result of the primar-
les held in Ohio yesterday. 1t has
been common knowledge for weeks
that the call for these primaries was
of such character that my friends
throughout the state refused to partic-
ipate. Consequently there was no op-
position to the selection of Taft dele
gates. Under such circumstances he
would of course carry everything.
