STATES FINANCIAL CONCERNS.
crease In Deposlts-State Tax on De-
posts s257,75s.


The biennial returns made and COM
pleted Sept / by the savings banks and
trust companies of Vermont to the office
of State Commissioner of Taxes j. E.
Cushman of Burlington show that there
was for the period ending June 80 an
average of deposits of $74, 269, 1901, or
an increase during the past fiscal year Of
$5,397, 506.l5. The amount which the state
receives on its tax of seven mills on the
dollar for the past six months, is $751;
1854, or about Al per cent of the total
corporation taxes collected.
The deposits have almost doubled in
the past II years and the growth has
been steady during that time. The aver
age amount OF real estate held by the
banks has shown a steady decrease and
this is favorable to the showing as the
real estate held by the banks is princi-
pally the building occupied and produces
nothing. The amount of United States
bonds has also decreased steadily and at
the last showing was only SOS, 1888 SO,
compared with over a million in 1900
The average deposits in excess of $4,000
| has also decreased to a large extent and
| for the last period was only 1901 OF
as against $7O5. 4G092 the preceding six
months and $l,2 1884 in 1900.
The returns completed August 81 from
| the 30 savings banks and trust compan'
les in Vermont make the following show
ing:
Total taxes collected during six months
ending June 80, 1911, S257,759,4i; taxes
collected during six months ending De
cember 81, 1910, $2i7, 13S. 49, total taXei
collected during six months ending jun
80, 1910, $23S, SG043; or a gain of So

POINTERS FOR MoToRIsT.

The Smallest Particles of Foreign Matter
in an Envelope VIII Ruin the Inner
tube.
A motorist may find that an inner
tube has been injured and perhaps ruin
ed from no apparent cause. Upon exam
ination small holes will be found in its
surface, the only logical reason for their
presence being apparently poor tube ma
terial. This, however, is seldom the
cause, says the Michelin tire man. The
real trouble lies with the motorist. He
has carelessly fitted the tube allowing
small particles of mud and dirt to enter
the envelope, the air pressure from with
in the tube and the external pressure
| having combined to grind the foreign
| matter into the tube.
| When fitting a tire 1t is not enough to
| simply clean the envelope and tube.
( Care should be taken to admit no mud
or sand during the operation. The tire
levers should not be left lying on the
| ground they will collect dirt which
may find its way into the envelope.
| Many subjects ON the proper care of
tires and tubes are instructively dis
cussed in two books issued by the Niche
! lin Tire company of Midtown, New Jer-
sey. Copies will be mailed free on re-
quest.

medical men that a way will be
found to give immunity against this
disease, to which every human being
seems to be subject at some time in
lie, age being no protection for
those who have never suffered from
the measles.

Taft Trying to Explain.

President Taft on his journey
across the continent has met with
chilly receptions. The purpose Of his
trip is to explain why he vetoed the
wool bill and the farmers free list
bill These measures were intended
to give relief to the people of the
country from the extortions of the
trusts. Mr.. Taft's excuse for the
veto, which he is making on his trip,
is that his tariff commission has not
reported their investigation of the
tariff law. The people know they
are being robbed by the high tariff
and they do not want red tape busi-
ness about reducing it, 1t is very
much feared that when President
Taft returns from his visit to the
Pacific coast, after lie has seen the
attitude of the people he will decline
to run for the presidency next year.
The Democrats arc very anxious for
Taft to make the race because he
would be very easy man to defeat.
