LUMP SUN OR A TIME LIMIT.
lFrom the ludlow Trlhune.l


In view Of the increasingly unusual ex-
reriences which the people OF Vermont
are having with their Legislatures. by
way of long drawn out sessions and tard-
mess in getting down To- the saction OF
important State business, 1t would seem
TO be in order for us to fall into line with
other States and insist on one or two
thing-a lump-sum salary for the law
makers, or definitely prescribed time
limit for the beginning and end of the
session.
The present Legislat urc has already
beaten the record for length Of sojourn
at Montpelier and the end is not yet;
and. has been the case with preceding
general assemblies, several really import.
ant measures have been allowed to drag
along till the closing days, when they
must of necessity be huriedly considered
and the risk Of unwise and unjust con-
rlVs.on is augmented.
Tho recent attempt to fix upon A lump
sum compensation ought to have succeed
ed. II he 1871 SOlons We're reluctant to
make any such arrangement applicable to
themselves, they might have made It
operative with the Legislature of 1914. 1t
Is becoming more and more apIa rent
that such a salary basis. or It's equivalent
for the state.
1t is not too late for the Legislature now
IN session to provide for either OF the
two th.nGs-a lump-sum or time limit
ana they owe it to the State so to do.

WHAT OUR NEICnBORS SAY
Various Features of Proposed Remedy
for Unequal Taxation before the
state Legislature.

From the St Johnsbury Calcdonian)
The conference committee OF the Senate
and House of Representatives has en-
yolved n new solution of the tax prob
lem which destroys the fiat rate propo-
sitlon and Includes some OF the other
changes proposed. The agreement which
that committee reached provides that
personal property Of whatever nature be
listed the same as real estate and ono
Ter cent. of its appraised value be put
INTO the grand list Then the local rate
OF taxation Is assessed upon six-tenths
OF the amount in the grand list. To IL
lustratc we will suppose a man has 81, 200
worth OF personal property and 5000
worth OF real estate in a town where the
tax rate Is 81 so on a dollar OF the grand
list. When he makes out his inventory
he will report, real estate 5000. per-
sonal property $500. His grand list
would be one per cent. of these sums or
real estate $40, and personal property sl2.
When the tax is assessed it would be as
follows: Real estate so at $3.50 on a
dollar $50; six-tenths of his personal
property grand list of s12, or SL2O, at
$50 on a dollar. $3.50 So the local tax
is levied on six-tenths of one per cent.
of the value Of his personal property. No
offsets on accounts of debts owing is
allowed but money loaned at rate not
exceeding five per cent and secured by a
mortgage on Vermont real estate is OK
exempt from any taxation
This proposal contains two good rca-
lures. the exemption OF money loaned on
Vermont real estate at five per cent.
or less and the abolshment OF offsets.
This will allow a man to loan money to
his neighbor and take security on his real
estate and the adjustment of Offsets will
rake every man owning personal property
come into the grand list on an equal
LASTS It will also increase the $40 of
the grand list These two provisions VIII
aid in eqlializing taxation and equal tax
alton is not runous to anyone. The pro-
vision of taxing personal property at the
special rate suggested in the agrceme nj
may be all right and practice may prov,
1t Is not. 1t certainly cannot ruin tn,
towns or the individual TO try It. Il
it proves wrong it can be remedied Al
the next session. # this Legislature car
only abolish offsets and the .nequaIt.e.
the practice produces it will not be diti
cult to solve the rest Of the tax prob
lens In way that will produce great 81
equality and justice. We hope tho con
ference committees plan viii he enactc,
