INTERPRETATION
OF NEW TAX LAW
Governor Believes Borrowers
Should Be Given Benefit of
Liberal Construction.

Montpelier. April Ex-Governor Fletcher.
In Response to the request OF representa-
tive of tho Free Press this morning, made
a brief statement of his opinion in re-
gard to the tax law passed at tn" recent
session of the legislature, saying:
IN tho absence of any construction of
The law ~ the supreme court, and in
Wow of the clearly defined interest and
purpose Of the law as we'll as Of the Leg
islaturc itself l believe it to he the duty
Of the listers to place a liberal construc-
ton upon the act and especially with
relation to the borrowers upon real es-
tate and mortgage.
The opinion of tho attorney. general to
the effect that the law was to be CON
strued literally, that money loaned" at
a rate Of five per cent. or less. and not
crcdi. extended or allowed at that rate
should be considered as exempt and the
ruling and advice to listers given by
Tan Commissioner G. \. FlumIey have
been frequent subjects of discussion
among III" attorneys ard others attend
ing tn, hearings ON the railroad APP
pcals.
It is generally understood to have
been the purpose of the Legislature
to extend this exemption to all Sc
cured loans at five per cent. or less,
whether of money or credit There are
doubtless good technical reasons for
the opinion Of the attorney general
that this exemption should be restrict
ed to strictly cash loans, but it Is
pointed out that in case of a loan
which represents only ere lit. a cash
loan could be effected and transferred

BRAIN Of MORGAN
SHOULD Be KEPT
Physicians Declare It's Study Will
Be of Immense Service to
All Humanity.

New York April 3.-Dr. Carlton Simon.
al!enist advocated yesterday the preser-
walton OF the brain of ]. Pierpont Nor
gan, whom he described as the greatest
constructive genius of history He de-
clared that failure to preserve his brain
would he an irretrievable loss to science.
Or. Simon's proposal met with the en-
thusiastic approval OF many well-known
medical men. among them DR. +. {.
Spitzka, whose son, Anthony G. Spitzka,
professor of anatomy in jefferson Medical
College of Philadelphia, has a notable
collection of brains.
Or. L. c. Spitzka, who is one of the
best known brain specialists of this city,
told the New York American that the
real cause Of the death of Mr.. Morgan
had not been made public
Mr. Morgan died of bulbar paralysis,
which is an acute Inflammation of the
medulla oblongata characterized in its
chronic form by muscular paralysis of
the tongue. lips. pharynx and larynX.
said DR.. Spitzka. The fact must be
plain to every specialist who has seen
Mr. Morgan's pictures taken during the
last two years. In those pictures you VIII
note the lower lip hangs down. That Is
an unmistakable sign of bulbar paraly sis
or glosso-la bio-laryngea paralysis. as Il
IS known scientifically. There can be NJ
doubt about the disease that caused Mr.
MorGan's death
MANY DONATE THEIR BRAINS.
Speaking OF the plan TO preserve the
brain of Mr.. Morgan, advocated by Dr
Simon, Dr. Spitzka said:

OF many noted men as well as Of Grimm
ais. Recently he has come into possession
of the brains of many men bcqueathed
TO him in their Wills. and many men liv-
ing have made similar provisions.
THE comparative study Of brain cells
IS In its infancy. as It is Impossible to get
hold OF brains to work ON. We cannot
even distinguish between the brains of
men and women"
Or. Simon made this statement:
There is 10 question that j. pierpont
Morgan was the greatest constructive
genius known since the time of the
Romans, ana It is questionable IL he was
not the greatest known in history. We
have had Eeniuscs possessing great con-
structive powers, but, unhappily. they
lived in a time whore the destructive fac
ultr was necessary, which projected their
thought along the lines of both destruct-
i've and constructive energy
THIS THE AGE OF FINANCE.
Mr. Morgan represented the highest
type Of new era, that Of finance And
as We have had the stone age. and the
age Of might OF arms, so We have
gradually evolved to the age of finance
which I'm its sphere develops great in
dustries, builds great railroads and works

development Of knowledge and in the

Morgan was man with well.

a man who stepped into the breach and
whom the world in later years will
recognize even more than we do n
present. as the man of the day. who was
the highest type Of a new era.
'Morgan's mentality was phenomena
and his brain was large and it's quality
unquestionable. The value OF such a brair
to science would be tremendous, because
of the correlation to the various cells
and the influence of his constant use OF
his mind in the development of his brair
in general.

problem of localization of mental func.

sugar industry of the country. In
the other it is carving plans for saw
ing from beggary the people who
are to be put out Of the sugar busi-

what can be grown On the rich soil
of Louisiana that no longer may be

tional Committeeman Ewing, when
they called on him toFeeommend the

headship of the Weather Bureau, to
send his best scientists to Louisiana
to see what could be grown on that
land as a substitute for cane. He
made the promise In answer to a sug.

he had better do something of that
kind.

had been given a most careful review

pared to make absolutely the best
flour that it is possible to make.
Richmond is favored beyond most
cities in having the best milling IA
cilities known. The product of this

market affords. Pride of Richmond"
-four without doubt as an all round
flour for family use, ranks as the
best, and has no superior on the mar
ket today. The management Is so
confident of this that they will re-
fund the money and make no charge

any one who uses the flour and does
not find the claims made for Pride
