ASSESSORS SUSTAINED.
Professors at University of Vermont
Must Pay Poll Tax.

At n special meeting Of the board Of
civil authority, called Monday evening by
Mayor Roberts. the city assessors were
sustained in their action of assessing the
professors. students and %servant of the
University OF Vermont. The meeting was
called to consider the appeal of Prof.
n. L. Merrill of the University of Yer
.nont from placing his name on the
grand list. The claim Is made Ivy Pro-
fcss.r Merrill that he Is exempt from
paving a poll tax and s 1909 on the grand
list.
1t has always been the custom of the
assessors to place the names Of the men,
bers Of tho university in the list, and
make notation of the fact on the mar
gin. no poll taxes being collected. and
in the case of instructors an additional
exemption Of $1,000 on the grand list be-
ing allowed.
Thu assessors, however. have taken n
different stand this year and have placed
all the members of the university staff
in the list. and will endeavor to collect
the taxes.
An amendment to the charter Of the
university made in 1902, eleven years
after incorporation, exempted instruc-
tora. students and servants Of the uni
versity from poll tax and in addition
$1,000 Of the grand list of the instructors.
The medical college came in under this
head when 1t was established in 1895.
The charter of the university, under
which the institution is now operated,
designates the title os the University Of
Vermont and State Agricultural College.
1t was granted In 1850, The assessors
claim hat the exemptions provided by
the amendment to the original charter
in 1900 Is not, therefore,, operative. and
on these grounds the professors. students
and servarts of the university are to
be taxed the same as those not eX-
empt.
State Tax Commissioner Cushman
stated Monday that the assessors had
requested him to make a ruling on the
matter and he had held that the amend
meat to the charter of 1902 relating to
exemption dill not apply TO the charter
granted in 1855, because the amendment
had not been Incorporated in the last
named charter.

The Sentinel is advised that some of
the philanthropic minded citizens of
Grenada are in correspondence with
the proper parties, so that Grenada
may join in the sale of Red Cross
Christmas Seals, which is being had at
almost every progressive place through
out the land. The purpose Of this sale
is to use the proceeds in the fight on tn
berculosis in Mississippi. When it is
considered that this dreaded disease is
carrying to the grave more people than
perhaps any other dozen diseases, the
Importance of fighting it is more fully
realized. The Red Cross Seals are a
penny each and they are intended to
seal every Christmas letter. Besides
the merit in the sale, there is a beauti-
mi sentiment IN using the seals.

TIE FHRCE Of JURIES

In various parts of the country there are just now a number of
conspicuous examples of the law delay in efforts to draw jur'es in
murder trials. Cut. in California a court has been sitting for weeks
waiting tn hear evidence IN the case of the men suspected of the
Los Angeles Times dynamite outrage. Only a little progress has
been made and nc is stated that il may require several months more
to select the jury. Here I'D Kansas City the time of the criminal
court has been occupied for nearly three weeks with wrangings of
attorneys over the election of the second Hyde jury, and there is
no prospect OF an early completion OF the panel. Up to date 52I
men have been examined rs to their qualifications for service, apd|

dence. The archaic idea, mat because a man may have taken a pas
sing interest in case previous to the trial, he has disqualified him
community WHO has not read newspaper reports of the Hyde case is
Of ox-HSc stupidity and IS not qualified in a mental sense for the re-
s@ponsibfity OF rendering a verdict. Attorneys are in the habit O.

time of the court was consumed for hours because it was proposed
to place Mason on the jury, Hyde himself being a member of that
order. No intelligent man can believe that Masonic associations
will dsdualfy a juror. If such a man is well enough endowed to be
a Mason. he is well enough endowed to be a Juror.
In Los Angeles a proposed juror was challenged because he had
heard the funeral grafton over the bodies Of the victims of the
Times explosion and this was supposed to influence his frame Of
mind. Truly, the jury system Of which we Sc proudly boast is Ell

SOME HUyMILIATTNG STATISTICS

One of fhe papers read at the session of the American PRISON
Congress at Omaha, Nebraska, that of Judge Charles "A. DeCourcey
of the supreme court of Massachusetts gave some figures that should
have general publicity. In 1910 there were 1915 homicides in the
United States, or about one hundred for each million OF Popula-
ton. The latest comparative statistics given, for the year 1890,
show that for each million of population there were in the United
States one hundred and eighteen homicides; in Italy less than ht-
teen; in Canada, less than thirteen; in Great Britain less'than ninei
ii German, less than FIVE. Last year, in London, with 100000 IN
habitants, there were nineteen cases OF murder IN New YORK Chy,
one hundred and nineteen; in Chicago, two hundred and two. The
