ExEMPTING HOTELS FROM TAXA

| EAEMRlING HUI ELS fROM lana
TI0N.
The first trial of the new Vermont
law which permits towns to vote on a
proposition to exempt new hotels, to-
gether with other new projects, from
taxation for period OF years met with
serious reverse to the specific PROPOSE
ton advanced, which was in Burlington,
However, the result OF that expression
of sentiment is not a fair exploitation
OF the new law, and the trial is not,
therefore, safe indication Of the senti-
ment of Vermont toward the new stat
ute. 1t was not fair exploitation, in.
asmuch as the person who asked the
citizens of Burlington for the hotel ex-
emption for a period OF five years was
also the person who introduced the bill
before the Vermont legislature and en-
treated the members OF the legislature
to pass the measure; hence, the statute
was looked upon more or less as private
legislation, or legislation to the gratif-
cation of personal ambition If Sen
ator NJ. L. Powell had entrusted the in
PRODUCTION Of the measure to some other
legislator and had not been so persistent
in season and out Of season, in urging
the passage of the bill he might have
met with better success when, in case
Of enactment Of the measure, he had
come before the voters of Burlington to
ask the exemption.
But aside from that personal element
in the case at hand, there is another side
which is bound, to influence voters of
any towns when similar proposition
comes before them. 1t is whether the
proposed exemption would be doing full
justice to other hotels which were al
ready established which had never en-
ioyed tax exemption and which had been
paying taxes into the town treasury for
years In the close competition which
would follow the construction of a new
hotel, the taxation Of the established
hotels while the new hotel was being
exempted might mean the last straw
which would break the backs Of the
older hotels and thus the towns might
virtually vote the older industry out of
existence In any event, it would be un-
Just discrimination. If one hotel were
to be exempted for period of years,
strict fairness would demand that all
hotels be exempted for the same length
of time; but that, as we understand it,
is not possible under the law which was

ment of the material interests of the
town is not new idea but il appears
to have been put forward at an oppor-
tune time in gathering full Of good
feeling and enthusiasm. If the people
of Bennington do not stand back OF
the movement when it is brought to a
head in the near future it will be a
sorry commentary on the citizenship OF
the town.
Nobody thinks for moment that IL
will be possible to transform Benning-
ton into boom city in few months
or few years, nor do we think that
such a transition would be desirable
There is, however, desire among all
patriotic people Of the place that the
town should increase in prosperity and
standing and to do this we must take
advantage Of our opportunities as they
arise and we cannot set supinely by
and let other towns surpass us in en-
terprise and public spirit.
The Banner bespeaks for the move
ment the cordial support of every per-
son who loves the town and urges each
and all to be ready to help forward
the movement in every legitimate way.

Some Of the states have constitu-

sion that, if the session continues after
a certain fixed period, the members

after that date. Perhaps the latter plan
is the wiser one, because it is eonceiy-
able that the abrupt termination Of a

scope Of the developments to correspond
more nearly with the possibilities of the
field because of greater resources at the
command of the great system than were
available under the Sortwell ownership.
AS was well known, the Sortwell owner
ship was preparing to make some i'm
provements in freight facilities in Barre,
the Improvements being made possible
through the changing Of the river chan
mel in the chieferailroad yard of the sey-
eral companies; it was preparing to pro.
vide more room also for the storage Of
freight and for the administration of
the office work of the Barre railroad
and the Montpelier & Wells River rail-
road. To this end the location Of the
freight station was to be changed to a
more advantageous site on Prospect
street and the work was to be under
taken the coming summer, as was un.
derstood, There may have been other
plans laid which were not made public.
Now, however, comes the transfer OF
ownership, and at most opportune
time, as the plans have not been started
and it viii be possible, therefore, for
the new ownership to take its own in
itiatiye in the matter and develop its
own scheme Of improvements. That the
Boston 4 Maine people cannot overlook
the actual need for greater freight hand
ling facilities in Barre is generally con-
coded; likewise, it is conceded that the
chances for development Of business are
very favorable indeed In view OF such
it is reasonable to assume
that the Boston & Maine viii carry on
and perhaps magnify the plans for local
Of railroad facilities. Ii it
is to enter ON spirited competition
with the Central Vermont railroad for
the great freight business of Barre,
such changes are clearly demanded.
