To THE LISTERS.

The listers of Brattleboro, as well as
those in every other Vermont town,
have an unusual opportunity for doing
good service this year.
The abolition of offsets means that
there win be available for taxation a
large amount of property from which no
revenue has been derived heretofore.
1t is the duty of the listers to see
that all of this property is taxed. In
taking inventories this year they should
have at hand those of a year ago, and
do their utmost to prevent the "disap-
pearance" of property that formerly
appeared in the offset column. The man
who declared on $4,000 worth Of taxa
BILE property last year and secured there
on on offset of $4,000, should be made
to explain if he attempts this year to
declare on but half of the original
amount
| The Reformer did not favor the aboi
I ton of all offsets, but now that such 8
law has been passed it believes that il
should be given a thorough trial Anj
such trial will not be possible unless
the listers do their duty honestly anC
impartialIy. Indeed, any other course
win be sure to work extreme injustice
Brattleboro s tax list last yea
amounted to Approximately $6,3oo,O0O
In addition to this there were offset
to the amount of about $1,200,OOO. I
81 100000, then it Will be possible t
bring about such a reduction of the ia
rate that the general burden will be n
greater than it is at present, and W
shall have taken a long step towar
solving the taxation problem. If no
the injustice will be far greater tina
it has been in the past.

A Smart, Newsy Journal,
barre Times. I

Our new daily contemporary, the
Reformer, comes to us as
a very smart, newsy journal; in fact,
it is so good a newspaper that the
people of Brattleboro and vicinity will
make a serious mistake if they do not
lend it enthusiastic support, so that
the publishers may be able to main
tain the high standard set in the first
few issues. The daily Reformer is an
offshoot of the recent combination of
the weekly Reformer and the weekly
Phoenix, the last named publication
being continued in its usual form. The
first issue of the daily was made on
Monday, March ,, the day before the
annual spring elections; and the issues
of election day and the day following
must have brought home to Brattle-
boro people the benefit of having a
daily chroncler of important affairs
instead of being compelled to wait
several days until the former weekly
issues were published. The advertisers
too, must appreciate the opportunity
to talk daily with the purchasing pub
lic Indeed, satisfied readers ant
merchants ought to make the path Of

OUR QUESTION BOX

The Reformer is about to start
with unusual success in other publ
cations. 1t is known as the 'Ques-
tion Box and in it questions con
corning matters of local history of
which there should be record and
concerning subjects of general public
interest viii be answered. Naturally
it will be impossible to answer all
of them Immediately. In some in
stances letters must be written and
sent long distances to obtain the need
ed information. In others a long
search of records is called for, but it
is department that grows each day
in interest and it has been found of
educational value as well as a mat
ter of purely entertaining reading.
1t should be plainly understood that
it is not the purpose of the depart
ment to answer questions of a per
sonal nature, those that viii by any
possibility injure a business or repu-
tation. The department will not at
tempt to recommend articles, treat
ment for illness, or business houses
where trading may be done. 1t is not
an advertising department; neither j,
| it conducted as free dispensary OIL
/ a law office where no charges are
made

Member of the Associated Press.
MONDAY, MARCH 10, 1918.

The report of the United States bu-
reau of labor that since the anthracite
coal strike last spring the companies
have paid 100000 more in wages
and taken $13, 100000 more from the
public is rather startling. It shows that
in all strikes that affect the neeessaries
of life it is the public that pays, though
not in all instances are these extra
burdens imposed to such an extent at
the source of supply. When the meat
packers put up the price of beef quar-
ter of cent the increment generally
expands to couple of cents or more
by the time it reaches the consumer. IT
is perhaps this tendency that has
caused the reluctance of the interstate
commerce commission to permit the
railroads to raise their rates, even when
their operating expenses have increas
ed
