TOWN WON AGAINST CARPENTER,
But Defendant in Tax Suit Has Taken
an Appeal to County Court.

Another chapter in the case of the
town of Brattleboro against Frank O.
Carpenter, to recover taxes for the years
of 1909 and 1910 was finished Tuesday
afternoon after occupying the attention
of Justice T. f. 0'Brien and a Jury of
six men for two days. A verdict was
returned for the plaintiff to recover $S7
and costs. An appeal was taken and the
case will 90 to the county court. After
extended discussion between counsel,
running over several days, it was agreed
that the ease could not be tried before
a local Justice of the peace or before
Judge w. r. Daley in municipal court.
as these officials are taxpayers and
therefore disqualified. Attorney Thomas
E. o 'Brien of Bellows Falls was settled
upon as agreeable to both sides. and the
case began in the Office of County Clerk
f. D. E. Stowe Monday During the
day motions and counter motions were
made by the counsel in the case and to
sum up the days proceedings, which
amounted to absolutely nothing but cost
someone tidy sum, counsel for Mr..
Carpenter moved for trial by jury
AS such a jury would have to be
drawn outside of Brattleboro and by
a disinterested officer. Deputy Sheriff
Adm Miller of Dummerston was select
ed to find the six good men and true,
WHICH ne u1u SOHlpUlllle MOUudN evening,
and brought them to Brattleboro Tues
day morning. The jury was eomnosed
of the following men. all from Dunn
merston: Henry Fl. Miller, John Knight,
G. N. Crosby, George Armand. Leon f.
Crosby and A. W. Lawton. A. P. Car
renter appeared for the town, and W. d.
Smith and f. w. Gibson represented Mr..
CARPENTER.
The suit was brought by W. A. Shum-
way, tax collector. to recover $l5
claimed to be due from Mr.. Carpenter
on his 1909 tax bill and $40 on the 1910
bill. The defendant offered to show
that he had been taxed upon 26S acres
of land in the town of Brattleboro when
he owned only 100 acres in this town.
In assessing Mr.. Carpenter his counsel
claimed the listers had put into his
grand list land lying in the town of
Dummerston. John L. Barney and II.
B. Chamberlain, listers, Mr.. Shumway,
tax collector. and Judge w. r. Daley
were witnesses. Judge Daley testified
that the defendant had made a tender of
$50 to Tax Collector Shumwav for the
1910 bill of $73. The two listers testi-
fed to making Mr.. Carpenter s list. The
defendant testified that he did not own
the amount of land taxed against him
in this town. ATTORNEY Gibson raised |
the question that the listers had not |
subscribed to their oath in |
1909. and such point will be brought to |
the attention of the county court.

RUTTER IN, EGGS,

those figures. In Brattleboro on the same
day strictly fresh eggs could be bought at
any of the local stores for 40 cents
First quality butter brings from AZ to 46
cents in Schenectady, while in Brattleboro
the price for the creamery product ranges
from SO to 40 cents, and for dairy from SO
to As cents

Brattleboro, so far as these foodstuffs are
concerned, does not suffer in comparison

In answer (?) to The Reformer's query :
"Can Mr.. DeBoer be candidate for gov
ernor without making political machine
of the National Life" the Barre Times
says: THE mere fact that the candidate
is president of the company for which they
work should not be allowed to ALLEVIATE the
support of such agents as honestly believe
Mr.. DeBoer to be the best man for the
office Of governor" The mere fact that the
candidate is president Of the company for
which they work will settle the matter for
practically all the agents of the National
Life-has settled it. in fact Our question
is already answered. Mr.. DeBoer cannot
be candidate for governor without max
ing a political machine of his insurance
and apparently he is perfectly
willing to have the assistance OF such a
political machine.

County option is advocated by c. f.
Smith, master of the Vermont state grange,
as a remedy for the evils that exist under
the present liquor law. We fear that Mr..
Smith would find the alleged cure worse
than the disease. One does not have to
ignore the difficulties that attend the con-
troll Of the liquor traffic under local option
to favor that method over one which makes
the county instead of the town the unit of
control. 1t has often been said that the
liquor question is one that every town
should settle for itself, and the truth of the
saying is not lost by reiteration. The lack
of trouble which Brattleboro experiences in
handling the liquor problem is due to the
fact that its citizens have the opportunity
each year to decide for themselves what
policy they will pursue. In this way the
