The Brattleboro Reformer urges a
return to the offset Law under which
large nHmter of tax payers. pc.
fectly ~, n able to pas get rid OF pay
ins heir hare OF taxes II Is OF
coufsr unjust for men to pay taxes on
property which they MERELY hold but
do not own. but II is also just as I'M
fair to compel honest men to pay
taxes while others little moe easy
in their moral restraint get rid .os
their share OF taxation through an
Offset law which is constant temp
tation to dishonesty. Only two states
an the union, we believe, now permit
aoffsets and one of these only to a
limited degree. If the system Is a
desirable one why should 1t be done
away with SO generally? Realizing
that all tax laws are but experimental
efforts to arrive at better and a
fairer system OF distributing the pub
lie burden, we should like TO see tried
in Vermont fiat rate on intangibles
and personal property and no offsets.
This would, we believe, ease the bur
den on those who have to borrow TO
do business without opening the door
too widely to temptations. sl

TREE A GIGANTIC PUMP.
One Elm Found to Raise 26o Barrels
Of Water q Day.


Professor Pierce tells OF a Washing
ton elm which possesses 100000
leaves exposed, foliage surface of
Ave acres, which gives OF to the air
206 barrels of water every summers
day, and that this tree Is located near
paved streets and cement sidewalks.
The question arises, Where does this
vast amount OF water come from? 1t
is assumed that many city trees perish
from lack Of water swing to water
tight pavement and water tight side
walks .s ,fs.
In answering this question, it must
not be forgotten that the roots OF any
tree, especially the elm tree, extend a
long distance, thus encroaching upon
the lawn soils adjacent, the sidewalks
and the streets.
1t must also be remembered that
there are many subterranean springs
existing In cities and towns as well as
on farms.
Notwithstanding these explanations
we wonder at the capacity or this big
tree to gather moisture to Its roots,
partly rooted over by city pavements
1t illustrates the fact that there is
much yet to be learned about root
growth and tree growth generally.
After being told that one tree throws
into the air 260 barrels of water every
summers day we may get some iden
of the reason for the GOODNESS OF the
cir in the forest or beneath shade trees
growing in the field or upon our lawns.
Shade trees are indeed more productive
OF coolpess on n summers day than
would be a gigantic fan. - Fruit

Saturday, January so, 1915.
Mr.. Graham Of Bellows Falls ha,

Mr.. Graham Of Bellows Falls has
introduced bill in the Legislature
that deserves to become law. 1t is
designed to prevent town or Other
municipal corporation from running
heavily into debt except with the ap.
prevail of fair proportion of the tax
payers. The bill does not seek to
hamper town or village in raising
money for its regular public activities
but it would limit bonding for some
new or special public purpose except
BY a two thirds vote at meeting at
tended by at least twenty-five. per
cent of the voters. 1t has HAPPENED
in the past in several Vermont towns
that a few voters interested in some
particular project have been able to
pledge the credit of the town TO d
large amount, when the result might
have been different had it been re-
quired to get the approval OF larger
proportion of voters. Mr.. Graham's
bill ought to become a law.
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1915-01-30

The new educational bill contains
so much matter that il is impossible
10 get fair understanding OF it from
the brief extracts from 1t which the
papers are able 10 print. The Ban,
ner today publishes a two column alb
stract of the bill. but even this does
not cover many points that the public
ought to know There are many good
features in the bill and it would GER
tainly not only equalize expenditures
for school purposes. but would also
give all the boys and girls OF the state
"A more nearly equal chance. The
Banner believes that the bill goes too
far in cutting off the appropriations
for the three Vermont colleges. 1t Is
not fair, right, nor reasonable TO de-
velop these institutions under state
patronage to high degree of eftici-
ency and then suddenly cut off the
support with little or no warning. 1t
may be right to stop this drain on
the school funds OF the state but the
change should be made by easy
stages so that the colleges may ac-
commodate themselves gradually to
the change.
