The football season virtually closed
Saturday. Harvard has a clear title to
the championship. Yale, coached by
Frank Hinkey, the greatest end that
the game has ever known, went down
to the most crushing defeat in its his
tory, losing 800 in the new "bowI'
at New Haven which seats over TO-
600 people. Syracuse arranged u game
against Dartmouth in order to get
''rating' among the big elevens. With
a score of 400 in favor of the power
full team from Hanover Syracuse will
hardly expect to be considered among
the big teams. Harvard has a clear
title to the championship and second
place goes to Washington and Jeffer-
son, little fresh water college in
western Pennsylvania, with less than
$50 students. Washington and Jeffer-
son defeated Yale and outplayed Har-
ward, but lost to the latter through Il
lucky break for the crimson.

The Offset.
{ Randolph Herald

y determined effort will be made at the
coming legislative session to repeal or
radically amend the tax law passed two
years ago. From every quarter come
complaints of its unjust operation. Espe-
cIaliy do debtors complain of the aboh-
ton OF the offset privilege without cor
responding advantage in lowered tax rate
or reduced interest charges. There is
nothing to 1T for them except to dig deep
er INTO their pockets and pay more, while
they see their opulent neighbors smile
complacently over a lessened burden 1t
does not set" we'll The law of 1912,
given a two years trial, has proven
failure as a measure of tax equalization
At the coming session various remedies
will be suggested. A push will be made
for the adoption of the fiat rate on in
tangibes. That question ought to be set
tied on its merits and not COMPOUNDED
with the abolition of the offset, or Joined
with it,
There should be a privilege of offset
for debts justly owing No man should
pay taxes on goods in his possession that
are in effect the property of another who
is exempted, nor should there be double
taxation whenever it is practical to avoid
| 1t. There have been grave abuses of the
offset, "but this should not condemn the
honest offset, which is the rule
| Our suggestions for an effective method
of sorting out the good from the bad is to
have the personal property in ones pos
session April list duly appraised by the
listers as at present and set against the
taxpayer. Then let a day or days be
| fixed by the listing board or board of civil
authority for the hearing of claims for
offsets and let such taxpayers as owed
anything to anybody on April list which
should be deducted from their appraisal
appear before the board, and be examined
under oath, and required to furnish docu-
mentary evidence if the board sees fit
Then let the board allow such offsets as
appear just and honest and disallow the
other kind.
There would be little trouble, under
this method, in removing the complaint
of dishonest offsets and the list would
represent the sums that ought to be fairly
set to the names. of the several taxpayers
Putting the onus on the claimant for
offset and compelling him to appear and
make oath would seem a practical meas
ure for saving to the honest and now op
pressed debtor the rights that are fairly
his.

A career like that of Austin C. Hug
gins of Andover, n. H., is a worthy ex-
ample to young men. He is not touted
so frequently or so widely known as
Francis Ouimet, the young man from
Brookline, Mass, who can play golf
better than anybody in America, but
he is filling a more useful place in life,
and has won real distinction as the
champion butter maker of the country.
Mr.. Higgins is superintendent of the
creamery at the Arden farm, owned by
President William NJ. Wood of the
American Wooden company. His title
of champion was gained through the
award of first prize and sweepstakes at
the national dairy show held in Chicago
recently. Mr. higgins is a native of
Cornish, \. H., and began making but
ter when he was IA years old. He is Il
graduate of the dairy school of the
state agricultural college i'll Burlington.
In the past five years he has won pre-,
miums at all of the big shows where
he has exhibited his butter. At the
Valley fair in Brattleboro he secured
first in 1912, first and sweepstakes in
1913, and second in 1914. Many of his
| awards have been in cash, but his col
! lection of trophies include gold and
silver medals, cups, watches, silver tea
services, clocks, carving sets and vari
GUS other articles. Mr.. Higgins has his
own special "ripening" process for the
removal of bacteria from the cream he
uses, and has home made " starter. -
He is constantly experimenting and
takes every precaution known to dairy
men to have his product the best and
purest it is possible to make.

The name of John E. Weeks of
Office of speaker, is meeting with gen
eral approval But one other name
has been mentioned seriously, that of
Stanley c. Wilson of Chelsea, chair
man of the Republican state commit
tee. Mr.. Wilson is much younger
man than Judge Weeks and without
the latter s experience and ripe judg
ment Then, too, he comes from the
same town as Hale X. Darling, and
the idea of having presiding officers Of
both branches of the legislature from
one town will hardly be acceptable to
Vermont. Mr.. Wilson can afford to
wait for further hCnors until he has
proven his claim. No doubt he will
be one of the strong men in the com
ing session, but John E. Weeks should
be the acknowledgements Vermont
er.
The geographical argument is about
the weakest that can be put forward
for any candidate. The only thing
that is weaker is to laud a man on
account of his pedigree. We have very
little personal knowledge of the quail
ifcations of either Mr.. Weeks or Mr..
Wilson, but if the latter appears to
the legislators to be the man who can
do the work of speaker more efficient
ly than any other he ought to be
chosen.

If the Germans have lost 1,250,000
men in killed, wounded and missing, as
estimated, they have lost the equivalent
of the total male population of New

a proportionate loss by the allies and
counting in Austria s losses, is only a
