The court set tomorrow morning Tor

resign as president of the Central Vel
mont railroad and also from the South
ern New England railroad as the result
Of the unexpected turn in the policy Of
the Grand Trunk railroad toward the
completion of the line to Boston and
Providence was very disquieting to Yer

But Mr.. Fitzhugh's denial Of the rumor,
as published by officials of the Grand

happily, and the people Of Vermont are
assured that the Central Vermont will
retain Mr.. Fitzhugh's services. They

ance in President Fitghugh's ability and

The Best Cough Syrup Is
Easily Made at Home
Costs Little and Acts Quickly.
Money Refunded IL IL Fails.

This recipe makes n pint Of cough
syrup, and saves you about $500 as COM
pared with ordinary cough remedies. 10
stops obstinate coughs--even whooping
cough--in hurry, and Is splendid for
sore lungs, asthma, Group, hoarseness
and other throat troubles.
Mix one pint of graduated sugar with
u pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 2Ia ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTHY in pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. Take teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours. Tastes
good.
This takes right hold of cough and
gives almost instant relief. IL stimu-
lates the appetite, and is slightly laxa-

Pinex, as perhaps you know, is the
most valuable concentrated compound of
Norway white pine extract, rich In
guaiacol and the other natural healing
pine elements.
No other preparation will do the work

honey can be used instead OF the sugar

THE BABBITT BILL
Discussed by John w. Gordon, Together
with Income Tax Amendment.

To the Editor, Barre Daily Times;
We have frequently been asked if the
Babbitt bill, covering the obligations
secured on real estate in Vermont, ap.
piled to banks. We thought of referring
TO this matter in our previous communi.
cations, but were informed that the
doubt about it was to be cleared up by
a bill introduced for that purpose. There
are some who may not have time to
investigate such matters who would be
interested in brief answer to the above
question.
The doubt as to whether the Babbitt
bill applies to savings banks and saw
ings institutions arises from the nature
of the tax imposed upon such banks.
p S., section 744, reads: "A domestic
savings bank and savings institution do
ing business herein shall annually pay
! tax to the state, which is hereby as
| sessed at the rate of Z of ! per cent.
upon the average amount of its deposits
and accumulations, etc. Our court has
repeatedly held that this is tax on
the franchise, that is, a tax on the
privilege or right to do banking business,
and not a tax directly upon the funds
in possession of the bank. The average
amount of its deposits and accumula-
tons is simply measure, yard-stick,
as it were. to determine the amount of
the tax. Such being the law, the ques-
ton naturally arose, would the loans
of bank secured by real estate mort
cages be included in measuring the
amount of the tax? What the courts
have held is well stated in the case of
the Bradford bank in the list Vt. The
bank was enjoined from doing further
business aud was in the hands of re-
ceiver, who was winding up its affairs.
The tax commissioner instituted pro-
ceedings to collect the tax, and the court
held that no tax could be collected be-
cause the bank was not doing business.
The tax on banks is what is frequent
ly called a voluntary one. No corpora
tion or person is obliged to do bank
ing business, but if they do so, they
must pay tax for the privilege. An
automobile tax or registration fee is
of this kind. A man may have an auto
mobile and pay no taxes on it, but if he
uses it upon the highway he must pay
tax or registration fee for the privi-
lege. All our tariff taxes are of this
nature. Nobody is obliged to import
goods, but if he does he must pay
tax for the privilege of importing.
We notice that some are raising the
question whether the present legislature |
can take action on the proposed income
tax amendment to the federal consti- /
tuition. The directors claim that the /
rejection of it by the legislature of two /
years ago was final. This is the first I
time we have seen the question raised, |
because little consideration will show /
that it is untenabe The directors re-
fer to the attempt of two states to /
their consent after it had been
given to the l4th amendment. Now the
acceptance of proposition and the re.
lection of il are Numerically opposed
to each other. To see the fallacy of
this objection. take the case of con-
tract for illustration. If a contract is
to you and you refuse on the

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
BABBITT BILL A suBTERFUGE.
Causes General Distrust of the Motive
Says John j. Wilson.

Editor Barre Times: You ask in re.
cent editorial if Babbitt bill, which
exempts real estate mortgages bearing
not more than five per cent int. is suffi.
cient compliance with party pledges that
individual borrowers and lenders be put
on equality with banks.
Is that not a question easily an.
swered? Can not any town clerk give
number and percentage of real estate
owners in their respective towns, on
short notice? A little extra trouble
would give you the number and per-
centage of them who have mortgages on
their property. And I venture guess
that less than one quarter of adult pop
ulation of state own any title in real
estate, of which class portion have
interest in real estate mortgages.
Bethel has a population of about 1000,
has about 600 male voters on checklist,
but only about $50 reported as owning
any title in real estate This average
probably will not vary much throughout
the state as a whole.
Evidently the Rabbit bill does not
keep the pledge to put all the people of
the state on an equality with the banks
as to the borrowing and lending of
money. The banks are given fat rate
Of seven mills, a general fat rate Of
seven mills to all the people would re-
deem the pledge and put them on an
equality with banks.
If a man wishes to borrow on his
farming stock. or his stock in trade. on
his life insurance or his personal credit,

anything TO prevent you from signing it
on second consideration if the other
party leaves you the right to do so?
But if you once sign and deliver con-
tract, you cannot then withdraw your
consent without the other party's per-
mission. That is exactly the situation
in regard to the proposed amendment.
The United States has not withdrawn
the proposal from the consideration of
our legislature. II is still open to ac-
eeptance. If our present legislature
adopts this amendment it win be valid
adoption. Several states have rejected
the amendment on the first considera-
