The IntangibIes Tax.

Governor Mead was not to be trapped.
He kept a watchful eye on all bills
which required his signature. Even
during the closing hours of the session,
when excitement was running high, he
put his veto mark on a tax measure
which, had it passed, would have re.
dueed the revenue of the towns and viii
lagos many hundreds OF dollars and
would have meant an increase in the
rate of taxation This state is not
quite ready for the taxation Of intangi-
bles, and it is absolutely certain that
no such tax measure, important as it
is, should become law without the
most careful consideration. In spite of
the frolic which always occurs during
the closing hours OF the session, the
members of the House showed their Sc
rious side in sustaining Speaker Howe
when he ruled that, according to the
constitution, majority Of the whole
House was necessary in order to pass
the bill over the governors veto All
in all, the tax bin received just the fate
it deserved-thanks TO Gov. Mead's veto
and the fact that Speaker Howe was

The General Assembly.

A true estimate OF the work of the
general assembly of 1910, taken as
whole, cannot be expected within these
few hours after adjournment. There has
not yet been time enough to obtain even
a fair perspective Of the sessions work
in bulk, say nothing of Analysing its inn
portant detail. Some incidents of the
proceedings as they developed from day
TO day were sufficiently distinct and pos
tive to invite and receive expressions OF
public opinion one way or another at the
time. Some of these were commenda-
tory, but il is only the truth to say tHat
all too many OF them were not. Il is
only the truth to say, moreover, that, so
far as the press of Vermont can be said
to reflect public sentiment, there has
been very general disappointment over
various tendencies and policies Of tie
legislature OF 1910 that is likely to place
its record in our political history as even
less responsive to prevailing public SEN
timent than the legislature OF 1908.
Perhaps time, retrospect, mature reiec-
tion, may wear away this impression
somewhat. But it very palpably exists
to-day.
And yet all this criticism of the legis-
lature does not go so much to the dis
credit OF the individuals composing it as
to the public policy that makes it what
it Isl Every man that followed the cur
rent of public affairs at Montpelier for
the past four months knew that some
OF the cleanest, most honest, best inten-
toned men in the state of Vermont were
assembled in the capitol, knew that some
of the ablest minds in the common
wealth, along many lines of activity,
were part OF the lawmaking body But
they also knew that the loose and indif-
ferent popular attitude toward the choice
OF the lawmakers, in the first place, and
certain lingering traditions and notions
OF Vermont legislatures and governments
al policy afterward, combined often to
defeat or to misrepresent the popular
will that was supposed to be back of 1t
all It was not that there were not
good men at Montpelier. 1t was that
all too many of them would have been
more useful somewhere else.

service. 1t is not representative in the
best sense, and the strong men and the
truly representative men that do make
up some part Of il have to suffer for the
indifference and neglect of communities
that will not send the same kind of
men there. too This does not mean that
all representatives must be statesmen of
the highest order, but that they shall
invariably represent the best thought,
the best purpose the best hopes of the
community that gives them their creden
tials A democracy, to be a real democ-
racy, must be an assembly of the best
of each kind.
Now that the heat Of the battle is
passed, The Messenger will be glad TO
discuss with its readers, from day TO
day, some phase of the proceedings of
the legislative session and to attempt to
arrive at some fair and disinterested
verdict as to the accomplishments of the
session.
In the meantime, let us be thankful
that we shall have no more tinkering

SUES FOR BACK TAXES.
Town Of Brattleboro After Hooker, Cor
ser, Mitchell Co.

Brattleboro, Feb. A rather novel
action at law has been initiated by the
town of Brattleboro against the Hooker,
Corser, Mitchell company. The suit il
successful will establish a precedent in
this state which win undoubtedly make
a large number of wealthy people and
concerns shudder and wonder when their
turn is coming for it is brought to
recover back taxes to the amount Of
$4,000.
The writ Is returnable at the April
term of Windham county court and
alleges in substance that the defend
ant company was on the first day of
April, 1904, engaged. in the business
of manufacturing and selling oyeralls
and similar garments, and that in ex-
cess of any and all debts and obliga-
tons allowable in offset against tax
able property the defendant had large
amount Of personal property, such as
material used in the manufacture OF
its goods, manufactured goods, fixtures
in the plant and cash, trademarks, bills
receivable and other goods and property
to the amount of 100000.
The plaintiff claims that all the prop
erty thus enumerated on the above date
was subject and liable to taxation in
the town Of Brattleboro and that it
was the duty Of the defendant to make
and deliver to the town Of Brattle-
boro true and correct list and de-
scription of all Of its taxable property.
The plaintiff claims that the defend
ant wrongfully represented TO the listers
that the inventory Of $4,000 made by
the defendant company was a full, true
and correct list of all the taxable prop
erty Of the defendant
The first count of the writ AYERS that
the town of Brattleboro is entitled to
recover $1,000 back taxes for the year
1904. There are seven counts in the
writ, each alleging $1,000 due the town
for the years from 1904 TO 1910.
Although no reference is made to the
writ in regard to the source Of informa
tion, il Is generally known that the
financial status of the company has
been quite exhaustively exposed at the
various hearings in the chancery proceed
ings which are pending between former
members of the company and the new
company organized less than two years
ago.
The writ was served by Deputy G. /.
Knapp and the attorneys for the town
are H. g. and F. =. Barber and A. p.
Carpenter.

Wasted Time in the Legislature.

1t was freely admitted among expert
enced members Of the legislature, quite
carly in the session just ended, that
the session would be prolonged one.
A principal reason for their belief lay
in the fact that there are to-day, in
Vermont as in other states, many more
problems to be dealt with through leg
islstion than existed generation back.
Some of them, too, are much more com
plicated than those of former times In
the opinion of these men the day has
passed when a Vermont legislature at
its biennial session can be expected to
deal adequately with the sixty days
which once were regarded as a liberal
limit for a season.
But the extreme length Of the recent
session was not due wholly to the en-
larged demands upon the attention of
the legislature. There was waste of
time. In this respect the session was
not exceptional; but the waste of time
was larger than ever because, as usual
ii was proportional to the length of
the session, II is no mere guess to
surmise that the longer sessions grow
the greater this waste win become. And
one of the sources of this waste of time
is the result Of the prevalent system
of giving to every ambitious man in
town so far as possible, his turn"
at representing the town in the legis
lature.
There are too few constituencies in
Vermont that recognize the wisdom Of
re-electing an efficient representative

secure good representation for them
selves, but they confer distinct bene-
fit upon the state Such men do much

Mr.. Borah promptly moved to lay that
motion on the table, which failed, 80
to Al. Most senators thought this set
tied the question and that the Borah res
olution had been successfully relegated
to a position where it would not prove
a dangerous factor in the legislative
program during the short period Iemaln-
ing OF the present Congress.
After the Senate had proceeded with
the Alaskan bill for short time, MIR.
Nelson gave way to Senator Warren TO
make a motion that the Senate adjourn
over until Monday. Mr. Borah jumped
into the fray again He said he would
object and that he did so because it
had become apparent that senators OPP
posed to his resolution would not give
consideration to it, if they could help it.
He demanded a roll-call on the motion
to adjourn until Monday, and this time
he won by a small margin.
Thus encouraged Mr. Borah asked that
his resolution be made the unfinished
business of the Senate.
From the previous roll-call, it ap-
peared that this resolution might be Civ
en- this preference, and Senator Penrose
hurriedly moved an executive session.
Such motion may be made at any time
and Mr.. Borah again found himself ell.
bowed out of the way. As the executive
session motion was being put to the
Senate, Mr.. Borah demanded a roll-call,
secured a sufficient number of seconds,
and the call was ordered.
On what was regarded as the most
vote of the day, the executive
session was denied, SO to 40. All those
who voted in the affirmative are regarded
as lined up against popular elections of
