THE TAX DEPARTMENT.

When state Tax Commissioner ]. e.
Cushman assumed the duties of that
Office, the records were kent in q
cnest or two' and the public knew
comparatively little about the DEPART
ment and cared less. Certain corpora-
tons paid taxes according to the law
IN a happy go-lucky sort of way and
the great majority Of taxes from this
source were those that would prob ably
have been paid to the STATE treasurer
without trouble even II there had been
no commissioner Of tayes.
Mr.. Cushman early realized two
things. the first and most important
of these was that the office had under
ATS control marked latent possibilitie,
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1913-01-30

or revenue, and that as step toward
the Development OF these possibilities
the work of tho department should
be systematized and legislation en-
acted largely Increasing the powers
or the commissioner
During the fiscal year ended June
80 1893, the taxes collected by the
department we're only ,415,S5735 ana
for the biennial term that closed June
30. 1900, the total was sss1,sa9.as.
Ten lears later. when Mr.. Cushman
made his annual report In 1900. he was
able TO announce that for the hrst
| time the revenue OF the State collect
cd through his department exoeeded
| $2,ooo.000. The annual collection had
advanced in a single decade from
| A1b.367Sb to s1,05s,010.9s. tho amount
secured during the year ended June
30. 1910. Since that date there has
been constant increase In the reve-
nue. from the tax comm ssioners de-
| partment but we have spoken of these
dates to show tho remarkable show
irg that Mr. Cushman made In ten
years. the increase having been APP
proximately 100 per cent.
In his report In 1910 Mr..
Cushman anticipated tho demand
| made In state platforms in 1912 that
| individuals be placed on the same
| footing as banks in the loaning OF
money. He then said in part:
"A law giving individuals the same
tax rate on loans and other mac
tive moneys as is now imposed upon
deposits in banks would make IT pos
sihle to borrow money Of individuals
and would not seriously retard the
growth OF banks because many people
would prefer to ieal herewith
Experience in modifying our laws
relating to taxation of deposits has
shown that the medium rate yields the
most revenue, and warrants the con-
clusion that more taxes will be paid
on monies and securities held by in
dividuals under the lower rate than
under the present local rate.
Such a tax would also in part re-
lieve the so-called double tax on real
estate and mortgages secured thereby
the Individual being obliged to pay
no greater tax on account Of his mon
ey invested therein than savings
banks or trust company Is required to
pay on it's funds thus invested.
1t is a we'll known fact that Mr.
Cushman has made certain corporate
interests protest by forcing them Ia
pay bigger taxes. or to secure revenu
where none grew before. Some of
those protesting have carried their
cases to the courts but 1t is note
worthy fact that he has never yet lost
a case of this kind.

A SPLENDID VERMONT INSTITUTION

One of the noteworthy benefactions
Of the late United States senator Red
Geld Proctor is recalled by the publ
cation of the annual report of the
Vermont Sanatorium for the treatment
of incipient tuberculosis Many peo-
pie are already aware of the splendid
results obtained from the operations
Of this institution, ana those who have
not specially noticed this work will
be impressed from a glance at some
of the facts and figures embodied in
this report
1t appears that during the year past
no less than 1O3 different patients
have been treated at the sanatorium,
and on the first day of the new year
there were thirty patients in the in
Ytltution.
One of the obstacles to be overcome
- the tendency of patients to leave
the institution before permanent re-
suits have been secured, but in spite
of this fact the showing made is high
IL creditable. or the eleven patients
admitted as ircipient who remained
more than three months four were dis

THE MORGAN HORSE FOR CAVALRY.

To the Editor of the Army and Navy
Journal:
| have read with much interest the
different articles appearing in the Jour
nal from time To time stating what the
type Of cavalry horse should be Much
has been said In favor of the thorough
bred, and lately the standard bred has
forged to the front
My service in Vermont has brought me
INTO close touch with the Morgan horse,
aud ! am convinced that he II the type
we should cultivate in our cavalry. 1t Is
arSusd in favor Of the thoroughbred that
the broaIl battle fronts of the present
day demand cavalry horse of the
thoroughbred type that will permit long
distances TO be covered in a minimum OF
time The histories OF all wars tell US
that the cavalr, horse never gets his
full ration of oats in active campaign. and
We oil know that the thoroughbred re-
ouires more nourfshment than the small
er, more compactly built horse OF less
fns breeding
Tho Morgan horses of this university
are fed six quarts of oats day. and
sometimes four quarts depending upon
the amount Of work demanded OF them.
These horses drill two hours every day,
besides being used on mounted pass but
they never get more than six quarts of
oats a day. big thoroughbred on this
ration would not be able to DO the So me
amount Of work; therefore in the field
when the forage ration Is low. the Nor
gan typo Of horse would be ready to start
on his Journey, While the big thoroughbred
would not.
Tho hard service peculiar TO cavalry
in active campaign, in my opinion. re-
ouires A horse low on his legs, OF rather
strong bone and full form-a horse that
whsn even in thin flesh does not show it;
one whose muscular development, en-
ergy and reserve power are denoted by
n certain balance and uniformity not often
seen In the trotters and saddlers.
In this mountainous region there is no
rule of the road to walk your horse I'D
or down hill, for If YOU do you won't get
home before dark. There are many Nor
gans in this town from b to 20 years of
ago that cover as high as so miles a day,

INTERSTATE CONTROL OF INTER-
STATE COMMERCE..

The conference of New England
governors held in Boston has sug-
gested much larger possib ilitles than
seem to have occurred to the resource
full governor OF tho Bay State
The gradual encroachment of fed
eral rule upon State control Of com
merce Is Inevitable. On the one hand
the transportation lines have been
undergoing rapid process of consol-
tdation and absorption and on the
other the Jurisdiction Of tho Interstate
ually exteniej to meet the new sit
uation thus presented. As natural
result OF the operation of these two
Influences the sphere OF influence of
the State with reference to the regu-
lation of transportation has been con-
stantly diminished during the past
few years.
We recently emphasized the danger
that in the twilight zone separating
federal control Of interstate commerce
and state regulation OF railroads,
transportation companies might dis
munity from control on the part of
either State or nation. Indeed tho
point has already been raised that a
railroad exten Sing from one State TO
another is engaged In Interstate COM
merce, and 1t can argue that It Is not
responsible in one State for what
Its management may do that affects
a neighboring State.
1nasmuch as this possibility IL
greatly Increased by reason of tho
marked lack OF uniformity in laws in
the different States with reference to
transportation lines, It follows as a
matter Of course that II the New Eng
land states. for example, could agree
upon the kind Of legislation needed
and pass uniform laws regarding rail-
roads. one cause of trouble would be
eliminated.

ton Maine upon crossing the tine

possibilities would not be changed as

OF another phase of this situation as
follows:

Ben said: What signify to us your

calling Ben Good Mr.. Wiseacre."
This is a good story, but perhaps the
term wiseacre comes from the corrup-
