States Victory important.

The decision rendered by the su
preme court of the United States
last Monday in the suit of the state
Of Vermont against the Clement Ma
ticnal bank of Rutland, affirming the
cohstiihtfonalIty on Che Vermont law
thxing; savings deposits in national
banks, is of unusual importance to
he state of Vermont. The history
rof ,Ic litigation began practically
with the inception OF the Law. The
state has imposed tax OF seven
tcuths of one per cent per annum
upon the deposits in savings banks
for good many years. There grew
M q system of savings deposits in
national banks of the state, and the
SAVINGS banks were feeling the com
petition of the business of tho ma
tional banks because there was no
tax imposed on these deposits i'll the
national banks aud that gave the
national banks an advantage OF
seyen-tenths Of one per cent.
j. T.. Cushman of Burlington, then
commissioner OF state taxes, devised
the idea of attempting 10 tax these
savings deposits in national banks.
II was not permitted by tho consti'
tullon Of the United States that a
direct tax be made ON national
bauks. . Comnissioutr Cushpan de-
viscd the very Ingenious plan OF tax
ing such deposits TO the depositor
hut. "benaitthle" The national banks
10 pay the tax Voluntarily aud per
muing that, ii the bank so. elected,
Il should enter into a stipulation and
get 4 certificate. which it could pub
'icly post, showing that the bank
paid the taxes on the deposits.
This proposal received the hearty
approval of Governor Proctor, and
while The law was vigorously oppos
cd by The national banks, il was
passed by the legislature OF 1906. 4.
The Clement National bank unde'
took 10 test the question. 1t entered
INTO "A stipulation to pay the tax and
then refused 10 pay, and suit was
brought by the courts and finally in
the supreme court of the United
, states. where It was argued last
April and decided last Monday, Mr.
Justice Hughes delivering the opir

the Christian influence the deceased had
welded while on earth and stated that
1t would long survive her. DIR. Brans-
comb offered a beautiful and appropriate
prayer.
The floral offerings were abundant and
extremely beautiful and included several
special designs from several fraternities
that were exquisite, some of them being
sent from distant parts of the state.

w to enlighten the people of our great

Ittitude, and appreciating it fully, /
lereby take the liberty to most re-
tpectfully invite and challenge you to
We present and debate that important
