 INCOME TAX 0N

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Sept. 27.- According L estimates today bN treasury experts. 425,00O American citizens must keep such accurate ae- count of their incomes this yea. that they will be able to report to tine collector next spring exactly how much they GAe the government under the new income tax law.
 So far as the taxable American is concerned, tie income tax law is ill force. The tariff Eill 55ill not he signed until next week, and the first returns q. not have to be made to the internal revenue collect-rs be- fore March 1914; but when the returns are made they will cover the income Of citizens from March l, 1913, to December 31, and the first islyment of tax will bs for money received during this period.
 Every single person tahose annua, income exceeds S3,0OG, and every married person, with an income above s4,000, is expected to report his or her receipts in detail to the government agents March 1 of each year The estimate completed today produce SS2,29S, 900 from the 425,O0O person taxed. To this will be added the 35,000,000 or more produced by the present corporation tax which is continued as part of the laIH.
 President Wilson, the federal judges of the supreme and inferior courts now holding office, and em- pl2yes ''of state or any political subdivision thereof" are the only persons specifically exempted from the tax by the new law. The Presi- dent and judges noS in office were made exempt to escape any ques- ton of the constitutionality of the law. Their successors will be con- pel,ed to pay the tax
 The public is expected to give close study t1 the new law in the next few months, as the first bur den of the tax payment rests with he individual citizen, and his fail ure to report his income is punish able by a fine. It is admitted that when the first returns are made many taxable persons probably will escape payment; but with each year the governments list of persons with taxable incomes will be made more nearly complete.
 TlAo primary methods Of collect ing the tax are contained in the law. One is the individual return made by the citizens, the other the returns by corporations and others who pay their employees taxes "at the source" Under the law as it will be signed by President Wilson next week very large company employing la bor will be compelled to report any regular salaries it pays in excess Of s3000, and will deduct the tax from their pay envelopes.
 This payment at the scurce will apply to salaries, rent. interest, roy alties, partnership profits and some other sources of income, and per sons receiving such incomes must
 a prepared to show that the money has paid it's tax at it's source.
 In figuring up his net income for the taxpayer the American business man. after deducting s3,0O0 for him, self. or $4.OO0 if married, will have the right to claim the following additional exemptions:
 Necessary expenses of carrying on business. not including personal. liv. ing or family expenses.
 Interest paid out on indebtedness.
 National, state. county, school or municipal taxes paid within the year.

Care Of Birds.

1t Is certainly a matter of very
much regret that there Is great de-
crease year by year in the number of
birds that summer In New England
This regret is not confined to those
alone who love the birds for their
song and companionship, but it is al
so shared by those who realize that
the birds are friends of priceless
value to the farmer and to all who
have gardens or orchards to protect
from insect pests. In the north
these birds are afforded considerable
protection from human beings by our
laws when the latter are enforced;
but the overnumerous dogs and cats
capture altogether too many of our
feathered friends. But in the south
the migratory birds have had almost
no protection by the laws, and they
have been slaughtered right and left,
largely for food, until the decrease in
their numbers has become very ap-
parent. Congress performed a much
needed service during it's last session
by passing federal law which will
aid in preventing an entire extermi-
nation of the birds; but much more is
needed. A realization of the great
usefulness of birds and a real desire
on the part of each individual to pro-
tect them and to see them thrive and
multiply is also needed. Each COM
munity must wake up to the fact that

Guy Potter Benton.

A number OF Vermont newspapers
have seen fit TO take to task Presi-
dent Guy Potter Benton of the Uni
versity of Vermont on account OF
what is regarded as premature as
sumption on his part as to what the
educational commission, of which
he is a member, will do along the line
of Formulating an educational plan
for the state. The trouble arose over
statement by President Benton
which gave the impression that the
new educational plan was to make
the state university the capstOne of
the whole structure and that all the
rest of the states institutions were to
be given secondary consideration. No
doubt President Benton was prema-
ture in making the statement and ov-
er-enthusiastic in his terms, but this
isn't surprising. Ever since he be
came head of the University of Yer
mont he has been so lauded and wor-
shipped that 1t is not strange that he
should begin to consider himself a
privileged character and his UNIVERSE
ty on a similar plane. Time will
remedy all this-time and a few such

vermont's License Vote.

Twenty-four of the 246 towns and
cities in Vermont voted Yes town
meeting day against II a year ago
and % in 1911, according to Stats
tics compiled by Rev. Clifford H.
Smith, superintendent of the Yer
mont Anti-Saloon League, after sew
eral weeks investigation.
OF the "a license towns 13 were in
the license column last year, Ben
nington, Bethel, Brunswick, Burling-
ton, Canaan, Castleton, Fair Haven,
Richford, Rutland, st. Adams, Shell
burne, Shoreham, West Rutland. All
OF these have licensed places except
Brunswick.
Burlington and Rutland showed a
gain for license OF 102 and 1873 respec-
lively
The no license vote shows a gain Of
so in Bennington and las in Burling-
ton, 81 in Fair Haven. In the other
towns it fell off.
Eleven towns changed to license:
Bolton, Brighton, Colchester. Elmore,
Groton, Mt. Tabor, Orange, Poultney,
Pownal. Reading, Victory. Probably
at least in the opinion of Mr.. Smith,
Gilmore, Mt. Tabor. Orange, Reading
and Victory will not have saloons. If
they do not, the number of saloon
towns after May l will be Is or 10,
as compared with Is at present The
total vote for license in these towns
increased from 921 last year to 1920,
and the no license vote decreased
from 1856 to 1886. Groton and Orange
have never voted for license before
Poultney has been q no-license town
three years, Pownal two years and
Bolton, Brighton and Colchester one
year. Gilmore has been in the license
column once before Mt. Tabor three
times and Victory twice.
In Groton and Orange there was a
large falling off in the no vote, with
out a corresponding increase in the
license vote.
Eight towns changed to no-license,
Bloomfield, Marlboro, Ripton, Sears
burg, Somerset, Swanton, Vergennes
and Wells. The first five are small
towns which had no license last year.
The license vote in this group de-
creased from GOA last year to 46S and
the no-license vote increased from
497 to $50.
The total vote of the state last
year and this year, according to Mr..
Smiths figures, stood. 1913, no H.
cense, 23,6S7, against 25,915 a year
ago; license, 1926, against 1866
last year, majority for no-license,
1882; last year, $3.50.
Every county in the state gave
no-license majority the same as last
year, but by smaller margin in 3 of

license vote decreased in all. Four

BROWNE STANDS PAT
Makes No Apologies for Baltimore
Convention

mdNG6 w FfPCuAiCo
Convention
Vermont Democrats will be inter
ested in the following, which appear
ed in a recent issue of the Washing
ton Post: Thomas H. Browne of
Rutland, Democratic national commit
teelnan for Vermont, is making no
apologies to his fellow members of the
national organization because Yer
mont failed to deliver Its electoral
vote to President Wilson. He has
been the object of good-natured rail-
lery because Vermont was one of the
two states that went Republican but
he takes the jests of his fellow mem
bers With composure.
eff the Democrats in other states
had made as large gains relatively as
the Democrats of Vermont made in
the September election, there would
not have been a single state carried
by either Progressives or Republi-
cans in the November election de-
clared Mr.. Browne at the Shoreham.
We increased the Democratic vote in
Vermont fully 25 per cent in Septem-
Der, and it kept up well in November
have no reason to believe we are go
ing to lose the recruits we gained, for
the farmers who made up the bulk of
the population are well satisfied with
the course that is being pursued by
President Wilson and the Democrats
in Congress- ] think this is true of
the whole of New England.
THE persons who fiocked to the
Democrats standard in the last cleo
ton want to see the Democratic par
ty make good the pledges it made in
the Baltimore convention, and If we
redeem those pledges, we shall con-
tinue to enroll the New England
states under the Democratic flag. 1t
was the tariff issue that won the cleo
ton for the Democracy, and if the
Democracy makes good, as it will If it
keeps on the path it has started to
travel, we shall win in 1914, and gain
in 1915.
Naturally, the industries of New
England that have fiourished under
protection are anxious that their in
dussries shall continue to be protect
ed; they are opposed to the reduction
of the tariff, but the people want to
try the experiment of tariff revision
as outlined by the Democrats. The
farmers feel that they get compensat-
ing returns for agricultural products
going on the free list, or reducing the
duties thereon, by being able to pur-
chase farm implements and manufac-
tured articles at lower cost. New
England was against reciprocity with
Canada, because the farmers could
see no benefits coming to them for
such policy, but through tariff re-
vision, which will give them cheaper
goods, cheaper clothing
and other necessaries of life, they be-
lieve they can afford to contribute to
the general good by having the duties
on their products lowered"

BARRE GRANITE SELECTED
For the Archibald Butt Memorial In
Arlington Cemetery.

Arlington cemetery
Arrangements have been made for
the erection in the Arlington Nation
al cemetery of monument of Barre
granite to Major Archibald w. Butt,
U. S. A., military aide to Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft, who was lost at
sea when the steamship Titanic sank
in the Atlantic ocean, April Is, 1912.
The monument will be placed on a
lot in the southern division of the
cemetery near old Fort Mcpherson.
The lot was selected by Major Butt
himself in 1908, when he held the
Office of depot Quartermaster at Wash
ington and had direct charge of the
cemetery. Furthermore, he provided
in his will, which was drawn up
about the same time, that $500 should
be expended for the erection of a
suitable monument on the lot
Since the will was read, the broth
ers of Major Butt have arranged with
the firm of Leland e Hall of New
Yc.k for the erection on the lot of a
light Barre granite monument in the
form of an Irish or Celtic cross,
twelve feet in height and having on
the face of the pedestal bronze
tablet suitably inscribed. Specifica-
tons for the monument describe the
IRISH cross as Latin cross with a
short widening toward the base and
a circle at the intersection of the
arms with the shaft. 1t has provided
that the monument shall be in place
in time for appropriate commemora-
tive services Memorial day, May 80.
The inscription follows:

DOCTORS FAILED AGAIN

It has been a few years since your
Swamp-Root has been used in my fam
lily but it is not too late to tell you the
benefit that we derived from its use.
My wife was taken seriously i'll at the
time with what several local doctors
diagnosed as chronic kidney trouble.
The treatment that she received from
several of the leading physicians in
this City did not seem to help her in
any way. The last physician we had
in attendance declared her case was
hopeless and that nothing could be
done. | had seen DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root advertised and decided to at
least try it. Very shortly after be-
ginning its use my wife was resting
easier and showed much improve
ment. She continued its use until
several bottles had been taken and
was not only entirely cured but has
not suffered any from the trouble
since. The result derived from the
use of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root in
this case | consider remarkable and
shall always have good word for
your splendid preparation.
