Effect viii Be Harmful

Since the passage by the House of
Representatives of the so-called nat
rate bill the conviction has been
growing samong the merchants and
manufacturers of the State that the
measure, should it be enacted into
law. will work serious injury to
them and their interests and tend to
keep out rather than TO attract CAPT
tai TO Vermont for investment in bust
ness enterprises. The Burlington
Free Press in an article dealing with
the effect, the fiat rate bill is likely
to have, says truly that merchants
and manufacturers are entitled to a
hearing upon 1t. II shows that un-
der the provisions of the measure
they would be called upon practically
to pay a tax on property upon which
they will make a certain per cent OF
profit, but for which they win owe
either those from whom they pur-
chased or the banks on April l, ow-
ing to present methods of conducting
business.
The Free Press further points Gun
that the proposed limiting of offsets
to $500 will afford no relief to the
merchan. who at certain seasons is
forced to borroY large sums for the
purchase of stocks that will be sold
later leaving nothing to him after
he has paid the tax except whPtey-
er margin of profit that may have ac-
crued with the probability in some
cases of actual loss.
The Burlington contemporary is
f,Il, ftsuffEnA In ncCnrfinU that
a proposal is manifestly unjust. In
that view a great majority of those
who have carefully considered the
fiat rate bill fully concur. Further
more, the claim of its supporters that
il will largely increase revenue is
hardly justified. Such increase will
come only if the holders of intang
ible property who heretofore have
concealed it in order to escape tax
alton declare it Under the provisions
of the fate rate bill.
IL is more than doubtful that any
considerable number will do this in
asmuch as by so doing they would
expose themselves to the charge of
having for years been tax dodgers.
Whatever inducements the bill might
nolu out lot run ueCldIdtlOu vi all
intangibles would, therefore, be over
borne by fear of this accusation of
tax lodging, a fear far more potential
than consideration of individual obi
cation to bear ones fair share of the
burdens to taxation is likely to be.
From the fiat rate bill little of real
benefit can be expected while harm
full results are not likely to follow its
enactment. Assuredly, it cannot and
will not remedy the defects and evils
of the present taxation system against
which the people who suffer from
them have cried out for years. but in
vain.

measure now before the legislature

do not hear

We do not hear much
about Middletown Springs since
that somewhat isolated community
in Rutland county ceased to
be popular summer resort, but
that irregular-shaped township has
suddenly bobbed into view as the pos
sible possessor of a state agricultur-
al school and farm. This possibility
comes into existence through the gift
by II. C. Copeland of New York of a
valuable farm which has been supple
mepted by the offer of $4,000 by the
town of Middletown Springs to equip
the property for the purposes specifi-
ed by the donor Middletown Springs
ought to get the school. When a
town with a population of less than
800 is ready to come to the front
with an appropriation which means
about 81 for every man, woman and
child it shows a spirit of enterprise
which should not go unrewarded.
