The plans being made by local G.. A. r.
veterans for an unusually elaborate OBJ
servance of Memorial day should be re-
ceived with favor by the general public.
Unless care is taken to preserve the origi-
nal significance of the holiday it is likely
to degenerate into a meaningless Deco
sion devoted entirely to sports and mer-
rymallng. Public sentiment ought to be
aroused to the necessity of restoring to
the day something of its old lofty patrio-
tism and reverence for the memory of
those who fought the nations battles. 1t
is but poor return for their sacrifices
the nation will make the veterans if it
fails to compel an observance of Me
mortal day more in keeping with its orig
NAL patriotic purpose than has been the
case in recent years.

.BRATTLEB0R0 LOST POSITION
Not in Line to Have It's Government Building Erected
ImmedateIy-Col. Haskns Investigating

WASHINGTON, d. c., May II
Hon. Kittredge Haskins, former repre-
sentative of the Second Vermont dis
trict in Congress, now postmaster at
Brattleboro, and Mrs. Haskins have
been in Washington few days.
Mr.. Haskins is interested in securing
the erection of the new federal build
ing in Brattleboro, for which Congress
has made appropriation. The original
bill provided for postofice and court
house but by some oversight the plans
and estimates made by the supervising
architect provided only for the post
office, to erect which an appropriation
of 100000 was made. When the over
sight was discovered, building opera
tions were suspended to permit time in
which, if possible, to secure a further
appropriation for the erection of a
building sufficiently large to provide
court house accommodations and to af-
ford suitable quarters for holding regu-
lar sessions of court in Brattleboro.
At the last session of Congress the
passage of an extra appropriation of
$4,000 was secured for the purpose
named. 1t now develops that by the
suspension of operations at the time
when the Brattleboro building was
reached by the architect S office in the
treasury department, the BrattlebOro
building lost its place in the order ar
ranged for operation Following the
passage of the bill appropriating the
extra $4,000 the Brattleboro project
took a new order. of things In the
same situation with the Brattleboro
project are 33 other buildings through
out the United States which have in
the same way lost their regular posi-
tions on the list and which, owing to
the large amount of work ahead in the
architect 5 office, cannot be reached at
once Mr. Haskins, with Senator Dill
! Iingham, recently had an interview
with the assistant secretary of the
treasury in the hope that it might be
possible to secure an order from the
secretary covering these 33 cases, one
of which affects BrattleborO, so that

Times are good in Brattleboro. Reports
from its different manufacturing concerns
indicate a larger volume of business than
last year with no immediate prospect of
let-up in orders. Retail trade is ex-
tremely encouraging according to the
statements of those engaged in it. The
demand for labor greatly exceeds the
supply. There never was such d scarcity
of tenements as at present. All this may
sound a good deal like a mercantile
agency report, but as long as it is true
it is well worth printing

1t isn't very reassuring news that comes
from Washington in regard to the status
of Brattleboro's federal building. To be
sure, we are going to get it in due time
But it seems that that hitch in the mat
er of adequate appropriation caused the
Brattleboro project, along with % or 30
others, to lose it's original place on the
waiting list. Let us hope that Postmas-
ter Hasllins's effort to secure early con-
slderation from the supervising architect s
office will be successful

1t is predicted that there will be a
warm fight waged in the Senate
against the income section of the pend
ing Underwood tariff bill as it affects
the taxing of mutual life insurance
companies in this country. 1t is held
by the mutual companies that they are
not engaged in business for gain, that
they have no capital stock and, as
there are no stockholders sharing in
the profits of the company, the policy
holders themselves are the owners Of
the company and that any tax levied
on the company is really a tax on the
policyholders. The bill as it now stands
eXempts from taxation fraternal and
beneficial organizations paving life ben
efits and the mutual companies claim
there is no reasonable ground for max
ing any distinction between such soci-
cites and mutual insurance companies
in the imposition of this tax. Letters
of protest from pOlicvhOlderS in mutual
companies all over the country are be
ing received daily by members of Con
grcss.
