One OF the newly elected senators from
Illinois is the famous Jim. Ham. Lewis-he
Of the resplendent hair and whiskers. In
ut least three ways he is like our new
president: He is d Democrat; he was
born in Virginia: and he married Geor-
gia girl. Twelve years ago he was practicing
law in Seattle. While a citizen of the state
of Washington, he received at least two
complimentary nominations for the United
States Senate and an election (1S96) to
the House of Representatives. He served
there a single term-two years; he plumes
himself on the fact that in 1897 he in
troduced a resolution for the recognition
of the Cuban republic. Twice he has receiv
ed votes in Democratic national conven
tions for second place on the national
ticket.

valuation, including the West River
branch and that portion of the New Lon
don Northern that is in Vermont, should be
$17, 517 523 instead of so, $40 800. Taxes
figured on this amount at the new rate
would amount to S219.71904. an increase
over 1912 OF $125.1S17 10, or 132 per cent,
and an increase over 1906 of 322 per cent.
From the railroads standpoint, therefore,
it IS easy to see why strenuous objection
is made to any increase in valuation, al
though the public is less interested in the
per cent of increase than in the question
of what the railroads fairly ought to pay.

The effect on the railroads of the new
law relative to their taxation is well illus
tratcd by the case of the Central Vermont.
Up to January of this year railroad com
panies had the option of paying at the
rate of , II per cent on their gross earn
ings instead of on an appraisal basis and
as the former method figured out more ad-
vantageously to the railroads they very
naturally adopted it. In 1907 the Central
Vermont paid taxes amounting to $76,-
co.. %; in 1908, $64, 22G15; in 1909, $50
19111; in 1910 $50, 497 90; in 1911,
800, 542 90; in 1912, S94, 537 %. At the
beginning of this year the Central Yer
mont's appraisal was increased more than
81 100000 and the rate raised to / II,
which would have made the railroads tax

STORM.
Continued from page J.
Retreat Highway Unsafe.

The highway past the Retreat farm
this morning is so far under water
that A. w. Roel telephoned The Re
former at q o clock this morning that
1t was unsafe for teams to attempt to
pass over it and he had made it pos
sIble for them to take a round about
course. The water during the night
rose almost to the upper gate on the
duckpOnd side of the road. This morn
ing it apparently had receded about
four inches, probably due to the fact
that the West river was not running
so full as it was in the night. Whet-
stone brook has quieted down.
Cattle in Distress.
At East Putney the meadow is bad
lv flooded. There are 80 head of cattle
in the water to their bellies and 1t
is impossible to do anything for them
until the water recedes. The rails OF
the railroad are just visible above the
water. The silo OH the J. Y. Shaw
place was washed from its foundation
and overturned. At 9 o'clock this
morning a few logs were reported to
be floating past that point.
The Telephone Service.
The Reformer and many who used
the telephone last night appreciated
highly the unfailing courtesy and the
untiring efforts of the night operator.
Miss Nellie Hager, who eXerted effort
to obtain for subscribers information
as to flood conditions aud their rela-
tionship to interests in Bratleboro. The
Reformer especially made MANY calls
during the night, and received even
larger number. and while Miss Hag-
er frankly admitted that it was the

were no DELAYS in handling the bust
