cusHmAN HAS HIS TROUBLES
Some Thorns Along Path of Commits
sloner Of Taxes

Prof. Eastman of Bristol was in
town last week and had Tax Commits
sioner exercised over statements he
was making to certain senators and
In the governors office, according to
report. Mr.. Cushman nailed him in
the hall outside the senate chamber
and demanded a reIraction. Twenty
or twenty-five members of the House
and Senate were attracted by the con
fusion and excited voices. Mr.. Cush-
man had a small pad in his hand and
| it appeared, to be jotting down Mr.,
Eastmans answers or taking the
names Of members who heard the con-
yersatlon The substance OF MIR.
Eastmans charges was that Mr.. Cush-
man was working on both sides OF
scertain case. Mr. Cushman stated
I that Eastman had stated that he was
dishonest and he wanted him TO take
back water. Mr.. Eastman replied
that II he had stated anything that
wasn't true he was ready to retract,
but this qualification didn't suit MI
| Cushman
The legation was made that Prof.
Eastman was hobnobbing with Sena-
tor futile earlier in the day. There
has been a chilly feeling between the
senator from Rutland county and the
tax commissioner since the printing
contracts contest two years ago. The
bill 10 raise the salary of the tax COM
missioner from $2500 to $4,000 passed
by the House was passed by the Sen
ate before dinner and recOnsidered
at the request of Senator futile after
dinner and the salary reduced TO the
old amount of $500. The substance
of Eastman's claim is that Mr. Cush-
man Is counsel for a woman in Brls-
toll who has taken an appeal on the
payment of her taxes made under pro
| test. Eastman is local lister. She
is an Old client of Mr.. Cushmans ana
there Is nothing to prevent MN ap'
bearing as counsel in such case
When Eastman visited him in regards
the matter he told him that he was
counsel for her, and on being pressed
for advice as lister explained to how
inventories should be made out leg
ally irrespective Of this case. The
matter appears to be OF small impor'
Il
lance anyway.
Frank l.. Fish of Vergennes, who
was in town Friday, brought to light
the fact that his name was forged last
| fan to a letter sent to Gov. Prouty
| making a complaint about Mr.. Cush
man and the forgery was discovered
when the governor wrote to Mr. Cusn
man inquiring about the matter and
also wrote TO Mr.. Fish expressing sur
mise al his letter, since he had FOL
lowed the work of the tax commission
or and had always supposed and had
reason to believe that he was ooint
his work splendidly. Mr.. Fish, o.
course, never sent the letter ahu
neither he nor Mr.. Cushman mas oeel

tive and carefully prepared speech,
Senator Coe Crawford Of South Dako.
Ia yesterday denounced the alleged
methods employed by agents of Sen
ator William Dorimer In the legisla.

election Of Edward Shurtleff, whom
he described as a bitter enemy OF
Senator Hopkins and political
honchman OF Mr.. Lorlmerr to be
speaker OF the legislature, and Lee
o'Neill Browne to be leader OF the
minority.
"A game was being played" said
Mr. Crawford, in which at the very

abandoned, the expression OF party
