Working Of Tax Law illustrated

One of the earliest returns from
tax listing is furnished by the town
of Enosbuhg and the working of the
section of the law abolishing offsets
is to be studied in consequence. From
the report of the Enosburg listers We
learn that while the real estate valua
ton showed a slight decrease from
causes which are explained by The
Standard of the town. the personal
property appraisal is three and one
half times as large as IL was In the
preceding year, or $3.50. $50 as
against sl17.S65 for the year 1912. In
asmuch as personal property valua-
tons in Vermont were wont to be in
the decreasing scale for years. probab
ly in Enosburg as well as in the 9th
er towns and cities it may be taken
for granted that the great increase
this year was due solely to the abol-
ishing of Offsets. As a result the
Enosburg grand list has jumped by
$1.112.50, thus making a basis for tax
alton on which it ought to be possible
to get along on a greatly reduced tax
rate. Surely. the adding to the bur
den of taxation by removal OF offsets
ought TO be balanced in part by the
lessening Of the rate Of taxation. just
as should follow in every Vermont
city and town where personal proper
ty valuation jumps because of the in
ability to Offset it for debts owing
And every community is likely to
have an increased grand list as the
result Of the administration of the
new law.-Barre Times.

For these same reasons no political party desires
coalition with the Ant-Saloon League To do so
would put both that political party and the Anti
Saloon League out of their places of real power and
consequently take away their opportunities. We have
been accused in some states of being aid to the
Democratic party. This accusation usually is brought
about when the majority of the dry members
of the Democratic party Also in other places have
been charged with being to the Republican

The Anti-Sd1oon League Not q Party

Even after the twenty years OF active work OF the
Anti-Saloon League it becomes necessary for us to
reiterate THAT THE LEAGUE IS NOT A PARTY,
neither does it desire join with any party It's not
an assault upon any party attempt to protect
any party 1t aims to make it possible for all the peo
pie to vote together directly against the saloons
eardless of political afilation 1t is a get-together
movement regardless of party. In every Legislative
battle the friends of tie League rule found in
all the parties represented 1t has to do with candi
dates and the principles for which they individuals
stand rather than with parties and the principle for
which any particular party stands. If it should hap
pen that every member of any political party in any
campaign is endorsed by the League, that would be
because the individual stands for certain things, and
not the endorsement of that particular party.
The question is sometimes asked why does not the
of the leading political parties The is that if
the Ant-Saloon League tied to political party,
the could make progress until that party
by the election of its candidates. obtains control of the
affairs of the government Then, Also it would be de-
pendent entirely upon the dominance Of that party.
If that party should be defeated the would suffer
complete defeat The liquor people would like to keep
the ardent temperance workers in political party, at
least all those interested in the warfare against the
Loom BY so doing they would practically have the dry
vote pocketed, large portion of it. and then they
could by directing their votes in such way that they
maintain the balance of power control the activities of
