Tax Exempt Bonds and Stock.

Under provision of the law recently
enacted the following securities are
exempt from taxation in Vermont and
make an excellent investment for res
idents within the state The bonds of
the Connecticut River Power Company
are secured by first mortgage on the
power plant, dam, and lines of the
Connecticut River Power Company. The
net earnings of this company are more
than twice the bond interest. No safer
investment can be found. These bonds
being free from tax in Vermont make
an attractive and safe Investment for
investors living in Vermont. The New
England Power company bonds and
stock are exempt from taxation under
the new law. The bonds are secured by
first mortgage on the power plants
now in operation and also those being
constructed by the company on the
Deerfield river. The bonds bear pei

Although the law 5 delays are en-
phasized in the Wren ease it is not be-
lieved by those familiar with the situa-
tion that the habeas corpus proceedings
instituted Wednesday will postpone for
any great length of time the extradi-
tion of the alleged murderer. These pro
ceedings simply mean that the Nova
Scotia supreme court will review the
decree and evidence of the lower court
in the matter of extradition, a right
which the prisoner has under the law.

WARNING TO MILLINERS.
New Game Law Forbids Use of Any
Part of Certain Birds.

Brattleboro milliners will have TO dis
eliminate more carefully hereafter
in the selection of feathers, wings or
birds breasts to adorn hats. Each
offense is punishable by a fine of
$40.
Among other laws enacted by the
last legislature, which did not at
tract much attention when they were
passed but which will be brought to
the front by the fish and game au-
thorities is that which prohibits the
sale or having in possession for sale
plumage, skin or any part of a bird
which is protected by the laws of this
state.
This means that there will he
something of a change in the mil
linery stocks as the law is very ex-
plicit and states that ''No part of the
plumage, skin or body of a bird, pro
tected by the Vermont statutes or of
birds coming from without the state.

different species from that native TO

Republicans and Democrats alike
are endorsing President Wilson S stand
on the matter of the Chinese loan. 1t
is the purpose of the new administra-
ton to cut loose from any situation
that may bring it under the charge of
standing in" with any special inter
ests and this was the chief motive
which prompted the president s deci-
sion to withdraw government support
from the American bankers who stood
ready to finance the loan. The fact
that China herself protested against
the terms surrounding the proposed ex-
tension of credit doesn t lend strength
to Huntington Wilson s resignation as
assistant secretary of state on account

the Wilson letter is interpreted il
Washington as an evident attempt tc
create sentiment in favor of Dollar
Diplomacy at the expense of the Wilson

The Montpelier journal does well to
express concern over the possibility that
the rest room in that city will be dis
continued. From an experience extend
ing over a much longer period than
that of Montpelier We are convinced
that such a move would be a serious
mistake. Those who support Brattle-
boro s rest room know the value of it's
influence on the community and would
seriously object to any suggestion of
it's discontinuance. The character of
its work is necessarily transformations,
but it is none the less effective on that
account. As factor in giving Brat
tleboro reputation for hospitality and
thoughtfulness it amounts to great
deal.

Orders have been sent out from the
general Offices of the New Haven road
to stop all work on the scenic railway
and the hotel on the summit of Mount
Washington. Surveys for the railroad
route had been completed and prelimi-
nary work done on the hotel, including
the installation of d water supply sys-
tenn which was to furnish water to the
hotel from Base station. 4 party has
been in the field nearly all winter and
the details of the hotel plans have about
been completed. The field party has
been recalled and nothing more will be
done on the plans. This project, which
was one particularly dear to Mr.. Mel
len S heart, was to cost about $4,000
900. The reason for its abandonment
is said to be the present financial situa.
ton on the Boston & Maine, although
it was to be directly financed by the
Boston, Concord & Montreal railroad
and ultimately by the New Haver
road.

The statement of the expense of miscel-
laneous employees at Montpelier which has
been published. by some of the state papers
shows that there are political plums IN
Vermont. They are not, as so generally
charged, in the responsible offices of the
state, but in the employees in and about the
state house during the session of the Leg
islature. The pages, the sweepers, stenog-
raphers, and employees OF that character,
received $50, 101 10 from the state during
the last session of the Legislature, or
$263.13 per day. The sweepers in the
state house, employed only a few hours
daily, received nearly $500 each, and
/ some of the young boys employed as mes
sengers drew in excess Of that sum. The
biggest plum of all was that drawn by the
executive clerk, who was paid S15.55 per
/ day. The clerk of the House drew $500. rs
more than the speaker and the secretary
of the Senate S103.15 more than the lieu.
tenant governor.
| That these things are not right will be
admitted by every thinking man in the
state. 1t is not the first time such thing,
have occurred as there has been regular
practice of introducing resolutions 10y
piecemeal at each session of the Legisla
turc making the pay of these different EN-
ployes the same as that of the members
Years ago when the sessions were short II
did not amount to a large sum. but now IL
makes a big budget. The next session
should fix an equitable compensation iol
the different classes of work and enact ,
law at the opening of the session fixing tn
wages for this class of employees

The announcement of the merger of
several light and power companies in
Windsor and Rutland counties and one
in Sullivan county, n. H., is another ex-
ample of the trend of the times in this
particular line of public utility. Com
binatiOns like these are frequently crit
icised but experience has proven that
they generally result in increased bene-
fits to the localities involved through
improved installations and more efici-
ent management. SO long as these com
panies are subject to the regulations of
public service commissions there is al
ways a remedy in case of injustice.

THE STOCK SCARE.

Boston & Maine and New Haven rail
road shareholders have become thoroughly
alarmed and are hur1ying to get rid of
their stock, as usual, when supply exceeds
demand, the price falls Boston & Maine
is selling at 500 per share and New Haven
at S115. Within few years the Boston
& Maine has sold at more than twice this,
and New Haven at 5000 1t is the wild
ows and orphans who are letting go, and it
is the big fellows who are buying, the same
old process. The sellers are taking a big
loss, and the buyers will in time make a
large profit.
\ marked decline is also taking place in
the price of the B. & NJ. leased line stocks
Even preferred stock was offered at a sac
rifce. Fitchburg preferred fell nine
points, to 101, and Boston & Maine pre-
ierred dropped ten points, to 10. Bos-
ton X Lowell common sold at 1915, which
was eight points lower than the previous
/ quotation. New Haven securities also
/ touched new low record, being down to
/ 10.
/ No attempt was made to strengthen the
stock, though it is said among railroad
officials that there is absolutely no need
Of this scare. Seventy-two new engines
! have been delivered to the Boston & Maine
railroad this year, the last of that lot ar
irving last week. This is regarded among
officials as more important to the service
than the stock operations, which they
consider only temporary, for they see
earnings ahead. One of the officials at the
South station said that the Boston
Maine railroad is in better physical condi
ton for service than it has been for al
least fifteen years. 1t has new and moderr
equipment; it has stronger bridges anC
more motive power and there is plenty o
business in sight as soon as the road i

The fact that 1000 fourth-cIass post
masters have already resigned in an
ticipation of the extension of the civil
service requirements doesn t speak
very well for these officials confidence
in their own ability. Some of them no
doubt have the opinion that as long as
the examinations are to be conducted
by a Democratic administration there
won be much chance for Republican
aspirants, but this assumption is prema-
ture.
