tunities to talk with representative citi,
Gems IN many walks Of life and with
the highest officials of the state. TO all
inquiries about the taxation Of personal
property In Ohio, the uniform reply was,
We are a state OF liars and perjurers.'
The estate OF widows and orphans may

result is that the owner Of money, cred.

Just reason why property in Vermont
shall not be assessed at a uniform VAIN.
ationg DO the honorable commissioners
give this as reasonY DO they consider
a man in giving in bis inventory truth
fully and correctly and under oath must
be over-eonscious
On page 81 OF the report II appears
that Pennsylvania and Maryland have
adopted, aud are now using a system OF
taxation as 10 intangibles that produces
most desirable results. Il Is in sub
stance TO tax this class OF property al
a low uniform rate throughout the
state"
1T appears that the Massachusetts,
commission visited Baltimore, Harris
burg and Philadelphia, and investigated
the operations OF this law. As result
OF its Investigations, that commission,
composed Of nine members, unanimously
recommended 20 the legislature Of Mas.
sachusetts for 1905 the adoption OF a low
uniform tax upon all intangibles. The
supreme court of Massachusetts in re-
spouse 10 an inquiry of the legislature
held the proposed measure unconstitu-
tional. This OF course prevented its en-
aetmcnt there"
-Four of the members OF the Vermont
tax commission are of the opinion that
the proposed measure is not contrary
to the provisions of the constitution OF
Vermont. We're these four members
earnestly seeking TO eqnalize taxation

THE ROYAL BATTLE.
On the Equalization Of Taxation in Yer

Editor, Times. In 1908 his exeellency,
Gov. F. ID. Proctor, appointed tax COM
mission TO thoroughly examine the tax
question and report to the legislature of
zoos remedy for the alleged double
taxation and also to equalize taxation
in Vermont Now, in order to set this
question right before the people. let us
consider that the governor, legislature
and stite officials, also our courts, are
paid from the state treasury. and as
the law now stands. the corporations
pay all the state expenses.

that the city should not force one man
To pay a meter rate when other users
OF the city water were paying fiat or
special rate. no matter II the meter rate
was the lower rate. He considered that
when the city was ready TO install met
ers for all its customers land he thought
II was n good thing to dol, then IL
would be time TO charge u meter rate
and all would be used alike.
The water superintendent then stated
that the special rates that had been
made on the blocks in question were
made before he was superintendent, He
said that he told A. Tomasi two years
ago TO ahye his faucets fixed or he
would have TO put in a meter and that
since he had put in the meter the fau.
Gets had been fixed right He said that
he recently discovered that Tomasi had
two extra hot water faucets and bath
In the little block which he (Tomasil
had not told the superintendent about,
and II he had known of these faucets
Tomasi's rate would IN consequence have
been lowered. The water for these ex.
ira faucets had To run through the met.
er. The superintendent said that through
an error by his stenographer G. Tomasi
was charged the wrong rate, but this
bad been rectiicd and the figures showed
that Tomasi was the gamer by quite
a few dollars by having a meter, as the
meter bill was less than the special
contract rate he had previously been
paying, and Mr.. Russell said that If A.
Tomasi had informed him Of the extra
facets aud bath in the other building
his water water rent bill would have
been down TO about what he had been
paying under the contract price.
Alderman Alexander of the water com
mite said that the committee was only
doing It's duty TO put in a meter when.
ever they thought that water was being
wasted OF whenever they considered
that the city was not getting what il
should for the amount OF water used.
and the complaint did come TO the com
mittee that water was being wasted In
these blocks. Alderman Thurston said
that the water department made a re.
quest for fifty meters but the city
could only purchase ten at the time
as the fianees Of the department could
afford only that amount.

Through Hardship.

Staading in a street car,
In the twilight gloom.
Trying to step forward where
There isn't any room,
Someone shoves some holly,
Hall way down your neck,
Knocks yoIT hat about your eyes
And leaves you quite wreck;
Pretty little baby.
Rubs a candy cane.
Over your best suit and smiles
Al your look Of pain,
heavyweight conductor,
Shouting as he goes.
shoves his elbow through your chest
And treads upon your toes;
What's the use Of kicking,
When the work il done
You'd go through twice the trouble TO
The sake Of half the fun.

THE PAVING CASE.

While the city of Barre has been es.
tablishing its right to assess abutters
for street bettcrmcnt, such as paving
grading and guttering, it has been also
engaged in modifying to certain extent
its own methods Of assessments, so that
the system now established is far less
exaeting than it was when the city was
in the frat efforts at permanent street
improvement. The city has adopted a
more conciliatory policy toward the
abutters by cutting out of the costs Of
the improvement to be assessed on the
property-owners all except the exact
costs OF construction. For instance, the
city no longer reekons in the salary Of
the city engineer in the amount to be
apportioned to the aDutters. which
change has tended to make a better
feeling on the part OF the abutters who
have been asked to pay for part Of the
benefits accruing from The improvements
It may be said in this connection that,
since the city has adopted this less bur
densome system of apportioument, If
has built much permanent road work
and the assessments on the abutters
have been paid without legal contest.
As for the opinion handed down in
supreme court yesterday afternoon, it
establishes beyond peradventure the
right of the city Of Barre to undertake
permanent work when the public good
and necessity demand the Improvements
and to assess the abutters not to exceed
one. half the cost, based on the foot
frontage of the property.

Low FIRE records ike good resolutions
are whisked away instsnter. For in
stance, the city Of Rutland had only
$4,000 fire foss during the entire year
Of 1908, while in single blaze yesterday
the loss was $4,000. There is a good
deal of the element of luck in such a
low fire record as several Vermont cities,
like Barre, Montpelier and Rutland, had
last year, and the luck may turn at any
time.
