The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1911-12-18

The Randolph Herald and News Of
fers a suggestion in regard to the
work of listers that appears to The
Banner to be founded on judgment
and commensense. 1t is as follows
I'VE hold it to be undignified, i'm
practical, and inefficient for apprais-
ers and listers to make the rounds as
they now do. Not many capable men
who are worth much to themselves
or others, will, for the small stipend
and the additional honor, chase
around a town for weeks, armed with
writing board and inventory blanks,
concerning the elusive taxpayer at
his leisure or convenience, and "tak-
ing his list in privacy. To all pur-
poses, one man in each town does the
listing, since it is common to divide
the town and parcel out its various
parts to suit the convenience or the
special ability Of each lister. We do
not believe this to be a proper meth
Cd Instead, we would have the lis
tiers sit as a board at some central
place over a considerable period of
days and require resident property
holders to appear before it, non-res-
idents to certify to it under oath, and
Ak a sufficient penalty to enforce com
pliance. If getting a dog license or
a hunters license is worth the trou-
BILE incurred, certainly being listed
for taxation is worth as much trouble.
Were property holders to appear in
this way before the entire board and
submit to examination, the possibil
ity of .secreting important facts, as
we'll as standing in with the listers,
would be much lessened. We would
have every person so appearing duly
sworn, and would give the board am
pie authority to send for persons and
papers. The mere form and author
ity would have a benefcent effect"

DISAPPEARED WITH SMITH

Mark Wood, the sixteen year old son
of William Mark Wood, farmer at
Jacksonville, killed yesterday when
his gun was exploded accidentally
while cunning for ducks on a meadow

gun, its trigger cooked.
A twig caught in the trigger and
there was an explosion that hurled
the boy TO the ground, as the shot
tore through his chest and back.

A Sixth Sense,


An Interesting discussion arose at q
recent college lecture concerning the
instinct of direction" possessed so
marvelously by savage races and by
animals. Undoubtedly animals are
aided largely by scent. In the case OF
humans it Is different. and some Of
the pupils argued that the primitive
man is able to find his way in the
densest forest without taking note Of
the sun, the wind, the lay Of the land
or the course of the streams. There.
fore it was said he must be guided by
a sixth sense because none Of the reg
ular FIVE senses could aid him. Other
pupils, however. argued that the In
dian found his way in places where
there were no apparent guides be-
cause he knew how, because he had
learned all his life how to do It, just
as the writer. for instance. will write
page after page of copy. spelling all
the words correctly. but yet cannot II
asked to spell simple word. This is
because he learned the words long
ago and his spelling is purely me-
chanical. 1t is so with the Indian
finding his way through the woods
