Charleston for "A years, an old SOL

Taft has long been favorable to tax on
incomes, and this is easily understood
" hen It is borne In mind that corpora
ton tax leaves entirely untouched the
great fortune Of Andrew Carnegie, which
is almost entirely represented by bonds at
the present time. The understanding be-
tween President Taft and Senator Aldrich
was that resolution should be passed by
the Senate providing for the submission
TO the different states OF an amendment to
the constitution legalizing income tax
legislation.
This has been done and 1t is safe to say
under the circumstances that the House
will ratify this action on the part Of the
other branch OF Congress. The vote was
unanimous, both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis voting therefor.
The Republicans voted for it because
they were influenced by Mr.. Aldrich to
help him keep faith with the president ;
the Democrats solely because it is a step
in the direction OF an income tax to
which they are committed.
The corporation tax has been so widely
criticised that it is very likely both Re-
publicans and Democrats will be ready to
support the income tax proposition,
whenever one is submitted to the people.

Poor John Harris He undertook to
instruct the Vermont press on the sub
iect of pending tariff legislation, alleging
the woeful ignorance and prejudice Of
those at distance from the COMPRESSION
al hub, and vigorously defending the
standpat element in the Senate. John
holds job there by virtue Of senatorial
appointment, and some Of the newspapers
are unkind enough to say that he is try
ing to curry favor with his masters in
flying to their support. We accept in
good faith his reioinder that his writings
are not inspired. In the present state OF
Vermont sentiment on this subject, no
man with intelligence enough to repre-
sent her in either branch of Congress
would think Of setting Harris loose.

The Rt. Hon. James Bryce, ambassador
TO the United States from Great Britain,
is recognized as one OF the greatest
authorities in the world on the history Of
the American commonwealth. 1t is a
unique distinction. We doubt il this is
true of any other foreigner, that he is the
best acquainted with the history and ira
ditions, the resources and possibilities,
and the opportunities and dangers OF a
country.
Mr.. Bryce made a most scholarly and
interesting address at the Champlain ter
centenary observance in Burlington, dur
ing which he spoke with startling famil-
iarity OF the resources and opportunities
OF the state OF Vermont. He talked like
q Vermonter-like one who had been
reading for years the editorials in Yer
mont newspapers. He sounded the kew
note OF vermont's opportunity as well as
Of Vermout's problems. The distin-
guished diplomatic and profound histori-
cal scholar uttered a prophecy as TO this
state. He said that Vermont's two prin-
cipal assets we're its men and its scenery
and other resources for becoming a great
resting place for the population of the
crowded cities. This is along the line OF
advice given by Vermont newspapers in
recent years. he prophesied that the
time would come when the people of east
ern United States would come to know
Vermont's beauties and would flock here
in ever increasing numbers for their sum
mer rest and recreation.
Mr.. Bryce warned Vermont against
denuding its beautiful hills and noun
tains of their wooded growth. He
warned the state against the closing of
any mountain summit to the whole peo-
pie. He said that he hoped the time
would never come when private individu-
ais would control for their selfish mr.
poses, as they did in his own country.
the mountain tops. These should be free
to everyone, OF however humble circu,n-
ttsnces, to get near to nature for natures
self. He did not speak particularly from
the standpoint of sportsman but urged
the study OF nature. The geoIoeist and
she botanist should be free to 90 where
ever they wished.
Mr.. Bryce's speech was one of the most
helpful bits Of advice and one of the most
appreciative sketches OF vermont's re-
sources, possibilities and manifest des-
tiny ever given by anyone, American or
foreigner, from without the state.-Rut-

Cushman for Covernor.


II the governorship we're to be be-
slowed upon the man who had demon
strated in the most striking manner his
ability to so use the talents given him in
the service Of the state, to the best ad-
vantage, there would be no question as to
who would be the next chief executive Of
Vermont.
1t would be Judson f. Cushman Of
Burlington.
Unfortunately he is not a candidate
and does not want the office.
More than that, he is worth so much
to the state as tax commissioner that it
could not afford to make him governor.
Had il not been for Cushman the state
would have.been paying a direct state
tax.
He has so well conducted his office that
hundreds OF thousands OF dollars wort b
of property that formerly escaped taxa
tion is now made to pay it's fair share
towards the support OF the state govern
ment.
The increase in corporation and inherit
tance taxes during the past year is over
$4,000. He has made this office worth
over q quarter Of a million dollars q year
to the state OF Vermont.
II q successful business man is wanted.
one who has demonstrated his ability 10
do things, Cushman is the one man for
the position, yet his name has escaped
every stmentioner. "-Vergennes Yer

sun Eating coudemned eeef.

Two or three months ago there was
newspaper story afioat to the effect that
Governor Prouty had matters arranged so
that beef from condemned cattle would
not be offered for sale in Vermont but
would be carted beyond state borders.
This led Vermont beef eaters to breathe a
little easier, but did not give our neigh
bors in other states very good opinion OF
our attitude toward the golden rule.
Information gathered in conversation
with q meat dealer recently indicates that
Vermonters have not escaped after all.
According to this authority, the process
is something like this. Farmer Jones
has q number of dairy COWS. The tuber-
eulin test indicates the presence of tuber-
culosis in several These are killed as
the law OF Vermont directs and the car
casses are sold to the Burlington Render
ing company. There they are inspected
by government inspector. II the dis
ease has affected the carcass in certain
way it passes inspection and is stamped
by the inspector. II the disease is OF q
progressive nature, not purely local, the
carcass is condemned and goes into fer
tilizer or some other use.
The Rendering company offers the beef
which passed inspection and yet was con
demned by the tuberculin test to meat
dealers at something like two cents a
\ pound below market price. Not all meat
dealers will purchase, but it is probable
that some do and that their customers
4 pay the full retail market price. Nothing
is said about its being beef from con-
/ demned cattle.
Z How about the small dealers in native
beef These dealers purchase cattle and
slaughter and sell without any inspec-
ton. When some OF them find diseased
cattle in butchering they are honest
enough to turn all such carcasses over to
the Rendering company to be passed
upon by the government inspectors. Per.
hsps there are others who are not so hon
est. Every man no buys beef OF deal
er in native cattle who does his own
Strengthening takes his own chances il
there are any chances.
1t is quite probable that a good quaint.
ty of beef affected by tuberculosis is still
being eaten by Vermonters. Perhaps il
will be best not to worry too much, how
ever, until the doctors tell us without
any "ifs'' whether bovine tuberculosis.

Champaign Banquet Oratory.

The oratory at the ChampIain banquet
in Burlington the other night Was hardly
up to very high standard, and consisted
mainly ia the usual conventional ex-
change OF diplomatic phrases and rhetori-
cal generalities between the president and
the French and British ambassadors.
Postmaster-General Rudolphe Lemieux of
the Dominion of Canada spoke fiuently
but too long and should never have said
some things at all. His prophecy as TO
the political promotion OF Governor
Hughes, while awakening = very hearty
response from his hearers, never should
have been INDUCED in by foreign guest
on such an occasion especially in the
presence of the president Of the United
States. Governor Hughes always speaks
entertainingly and to the point, but he
was kept until the last and even his
crispness and power to hold could not
Offset the fatigue that was more or less
generally felt by everybody in the room.

sidered it very good after-dinner speaking

Ins.ruetIon from Washlnaton.

The melancholy John E. Harris contin-
ues to publicly reproach vermonters for
presuming to have ideas of their own
about men and things ct Washington
when they are not actually On the spot, as
he is, where they can see and hear and
know better. Dear. dear So there can
be no such thing as public opinion about

events they did not witnessl How then

tic republic that stretches across a con-
tinent from sea TO sea be safely governed

nguish would go up; aud yet that is ex-
actly what he proposes to do to the so
called 'srich" man whose property is
mostly in securities.
The way to tax reform in Vermont is
blocked by the fellow who pays less tax,
in proportion to his income, of any other
person in Vermont. The JOY Of finding
way to enforce the present tax laws and
thus compel some "wealthy resident" to
pay over, say SO 1-3 per cent. OF his in
terest is so enchanting that no other
abuse of the tax law appeals to him as
crying for adjustment Rutland Herald.
This argument-that mans income,
il invested in stocks, bonds, ETC.. would
be absorbed by taxation to tine extent Of
from 25 to so per cent if he reported his
holdings to the tax assessor-was one of
the favorites advanced BY the reformers
at the last session who urged a low tlat
rate on intangibles. 1t is faulty, not
only in its premise, but its conclusion.
The owners Of money, stocks, bonds,
notes, etc, are not excessively taxed, as
compared with the farming class or other
classes. Suppose farmer, who has been
making a bare living on his farm, sells
for $4,000 EARNS of that value generally
sfford not more than a bare iivelihood)
and gets his money down. AT the aver
age tax rate be has been paying S4S q
year in taxes. He can take his cash,
place it in the savings bank and realize
four per cent net, with no tAxes whatever
to pay. That is, he realizes s120 a year
on it and has it where he can draw out
any part of it at any time. II, in prefer
ence to depositing his money in q savings
bank, he invests in stocks or other in
tangibles, he does it because he has fig-
ured that he can realize better net re-
turns, taxes allowed for. AS a matter Of
fact, most Of the money invested in these
things outside OF Vermont is exempted
by our own laws, as it is taxed where
the investment lies, and there is no illicit
evasion.
Sympathy is wasted when bestowed on
the s'poor" rich man who sees half his
income taken by taxes. It also exists
wholly in the Imagination Of those who
want a low fiat rate. II is no true COM
parison to place the income OF an idle
man who sits down and clips coupons for
his only exercise beside those of the farm
er, who must add to his investment the
toll of his own hands, the care and re-
sponsibility, the worry and risks Of own
ership. If the two classes Of property
paid at the same actual rates, which, fol-
reasons explained, they do not, theirs
would be no cause for complaint by those
who own the intangibles because they pre-
fer them under existing conditions.
Money, at present, pays about four pei
cent above taxes, and there is no real cal
to worry over the hardship of those whc
have it to invest because they are over
taxed.

Sane Enouoh TO be tIanaec.

Elroy kent's recent attempt to escape
from the house OF correction at Rutland
was executed so skilfully as to convince
many people that the convicted murderer
possesses sufficient intelligence to be
hanged. The crime of which Kent was
convicted was one OF the most diabolical
in the history of the state, outclassed in
brutality only by the Meaker murder in
Washington county = generation ago and
for which the perpetrstor, woman, was
hanged at Windsor. The fact that Kent

asylum may save his neck when bis case

the mans career following his escape
from Waterbury, as brought out in his

attempt to saw his way out of prison is
evidence that the man possesses the mind
