Work of the Tax Commission.

Vermont for the first time has a work
ing tax commission as contrasted with
commissions appointed for the purpose
of investigation and report only. We
printed some time ago summary of the
changes made in tax legislation by the
Legislature, but when one considers
that there are no less than thirty-one
acts comprising something like $50 Sec
tions relating to the duties and qualifi-
cations of listers or assessors, it becomes
evident that it will require considerable
time for the officials named to become
thoroughly acquainted with the work.
ings of the new law.
State Tax Commissioner Cushman
has done we'll to promptly take up the
matter of conferences for the instruction
of listers, and the reason for the holding
of sessions throughout the day and even
ing is that considerable time will be re-
quired to famiiarize them with the
changes made, particularly in the in
ventories and grand list books.
Town clerks and town agents are in
vited to take part in the conferences be-
cause they are interested, particularly
the town agents who are named in the
statute to take appeals in behalf Of
towns. The new tax legislation EN-
braces number of provisions caculat.

dodgers to play their game, and the

their share of the burden of support o.

The Revolutionary Aims.

From Regeneration published in Los Angeles
CAL
In order to avoid confusion among
Americans, we wish to inform our read
ers that there are two revolutionary
parties in the field in Mexico, today, the
Maderist.party and the liberal party.
The liberia, party is proletarian or
ganizatioD which has been in the field
for many years. !. For its lofty ideals its
leaders have suffered Imprisonment and
persecution both in Mexico and in the
United States. I; Twice before has it
launched, in spite of tremendous odds,
A. revolution against the dictator of
Mexico, only on both occasions to be
betrayed. Now it is again in the field,
and its revolutionary groups have been
meeting with.success. Liberals are op-
Grating in chihuahua, Sonora, Lower
California and iu,many states through
out the south OF Mexico.
The aim of the liberal party is, above
all things, to labor. for the cause of the
dispossessed. Its leaders are without
personal ambition. 1t does not work to
raise to the Office of President any one
man. That choice shall remain with
the people when the despot is over
thrown.
The main object of the liberal party
is to overthrow the tyranuical govern
ment, confiscate the enormous estates
which have been made up of property
stolen from the people aud given to the
favorites of the dictator, and divide
them among the people. Only thus Cal
the wretched poems of Mexico become
really free.

President Taft, in recent interview
with several publishers of magazines,
made known his unaiterable determiu-
alton to still urge, at the proper time,
the postponed increase OF the rates on
second class postage. If the president
and the postmaster general get the leg
islation they want it will affect more
particularly the fortunes of the publish
ers, who send 70 subscribers a modicum
of literature between two thick layers OF
advertising matter, which must bring il
an income large enough to warrant ad
ditional taxation. The publishers sug
gested investigation concerning Their
profits but were told by the president
that the government, in the interest Of
the whole number of 6he people, had
already spent quarter of million OIL
dollars in investigation, and that in hi,
opinion the findings warranted an in.
crease of the rate for second.class post
age.
"The question we have to decide
said the president, sis whether there i
a burden growing out of second-cIas
mail, aud then, who increases that bur

There has been a suggestion by thos

of Mr., Hitchcock and myself is to &c

The president has taken broad vie
of the whole matter, and has estimate
accurately no doubt, the value derive

dered by the publishers of the magazine

The PEOPLES ~Senaror.

The junior senator of Vermont, Car
roll S. Page, has sent letter to the St.
Adams Messenger in which he makes
known his earnest desire to further the
best interests of our state by judicious
action concerning fair trade relation
ship between the people of the United
States and Canada. Mr.. Page, evident
ly, does not approve of arbitrary action
on the part of senators, concerning a
question to which all thoughtful men
have been giving much attention for
some time past 1t is the wish of Sena-
tor Page that such opinions as have
been formed by those who know, OF
think they know, what effect Recipro.
city would have on their interests
should be duly weighed, in order that
his own ultimate action may be just
and so, serviceable in the highest de
gree. To that end he solicits CORES
pondence on the matter from the people
There is no evidence of "embezzle
ment of power in such keen precep
ton of the duty Of representative o

Who Patronize SAVINGS Banks

1t is an interesting fact that conserva.
tive, shrewd, level-headed business men
are coming more and more, year by
year, to avail themselves of Savings
Banks as repositories of their surplus
funds.
Four per cent interest, compounded
semi-annually and free from all taxation
is fast making Savings Banks the Gus
todians of the moneys of nearly all save
the reckless, get-rich quick class who,
three times out of four, find themselves
with the principal gone after few reck-
less ventures,
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
& Trust Company offers to depositors
the highest measure of Savings Bank
safety indicated by the fact, for fact it
is, that it has been so conservative and
painstaking in the matter OF invest
ments that in the entire twenty-five
years since its organization, it has never
lost dollar by poor note.
1t invites inspection and investigation
from all prospective depositors and i
assures the depositing public that ae
cording to the best obtainab.e knowl
edge, it does not to-day, among its Ell
tire two million and more dollars Of as
sets, have single dollar invested in Sc
curities that are not good.
Safety, rather than high rates of in
terest, has been the first consideration
in the management of this bank in tn
past and will continue to be in tn
future.
Under the new law, the bank can re
ceive any sum which the ieposito
wishes to place in its keeping and pa
all taxes thereon, and it would be please,
to receive your deposit.

Our readers, supplied with copies OF
laws and public acts of general interest,
passed upon in the recent session of the
legislature, should not only read but
study the important matter presented
for consideration. 1t is at once the
duty and the privilege of freemen to
criticise the work of those who have
represented them, and to offer sugges-
tions for amendments to those to be
sent to the next assemblage. 1t is un
just and useless to talk about "embezzle
