The more or less cordial greeting be-
tween Presidents Roosevelt and Taft
on the occasion Of their meeting at a
funeral in Connecticut recently seems to
have been overlooked in large part by
those who are following things polit-
cal There was no marked effusiveness
in the greeting of the one to the other.
according to the newspaper reports of
the occasion, but there still was dis.
play of purpose to be friendly after oc-
currences that sorely tried each one OF

the line OF reunion of the Republican

New Taxation Bill.

] The tax bill, which was passed in the
closing hours of the legislature, was a
compromise between the House and Sen
ate measures, the result of conference
committee work, after both branches be-
came deadlocked. A perusal of the full
text OF the bill shows that the act re-
stores offsets up to $1,000 and exempts
| from taxation book accounts of mer-
chants and Others, which do not bear in.
terest, also exempts money loaned at a
rate of interest not to exceed s per cent
which is the present law and which this
act replaces.
The law will not apply to this years
lists, since it does not take effect until
Jan. !, 1916. 1t is generally conceded
that the offset feature will benefit the
farmers. The legislature was divided
against itself on the question of offsets,
the House being strongly in favor, while
the Senate was in opposition. There is
still good deal of doubt in the minds
of many as to the exact meaning OF the
new tax law.
In connection with this new taxation
bill might be mentioned the financial
statement which was read to the House,
Just before adjournment, by Chairman
Proctor of the committee on appropria-
tions. He showed that the deficit, after
taking care OF all new appropriations,
would be $l22,262.96, which could be pro-
vided for by state tax of five cents
that would raise in the neighborhood of
$4,000. In the statement given, the
revenue for biennial term from July l,
1915, to July /, 1917, was put at $4,0ss,-
1862, and the expense biennial term COW

1t was the Springfield Republican
which first found something good in the
life of the late Senator Nelson l.. Aid
rich Of Rhode Island; the contemporary
says he served as a model in some re-
spects because he never used tobacco and
strong liquor and because he gave much
time to recreation in the open air. The
last -named qualification is scarcely a
forcible proof of rood character but new
ertheless it was a reasonable habit on
the part of a man who could afford to
enjoy recreation and who had the time
at his disposal to stay in the open air.
Not all people can afford it and have the
time to indulge in it; yet their inten.
tions may be very good along those lines.
Hence if there is virtue in the practice
of recreation in the open air those PEG.
pie less comfortably situated than Aid
rich ought to have the benefit Of what
ever praise goes with the practice he.
cause they would il they could. How.
ever. Senator Aldrichs lasting claim to
virtue will have TO rest ON something
more vital than the last named of the
list presented by the contemporary.

WOMAN INJURED
IN AUTO OVERTURN
Mrs. F. w. Parker of Burlington Was
Rendered Unconscious and May
Have Sustained In
ternal Injuries.

Burlington, April l9-Mrs. F. W. Par
ker of South Union street was seriously
injured yesterday morning as the result
of an automobile accident which occurred
on the Mallet's Bay road. just how Sc
rious her injuries may be cannot be as
certained at the present time. Five 9TH
ers who were in the machine at the
time when it turned over were not in
jured, other than by scratches and a
severe shaking up, with the exception of
little daughter of Mrs. Parker, who
received an injury to the scalp.
The accident occurred when the auto
mobile struck some planking which was
temporarily placed over washout in
the road Mr. Parker was driving the
car and there were besides himself and
wife, his three children and G. l.. Pres
ton in the party. Just how the accident
occurred was not evident but the plank
ing is said to have been loose and as the
driver turned the car TO one side a
wheel resting on one of the planks went
through, precipitating the car down a
distance OF about seven feet and throw.
ing it upon one side. All of the occu-
pants were thrown out.
Mrs. Parker was picked up uncon-
scious, in which condition she remained
about twenty minutes. Drs. C. A. Pease
and II. L. Wilder were called 10 the scene
of the accident and Mrs. Parker was
brought to her home on South Union
street. Upon examination il was found
that she had received a severe scalp
wound. No broken bones were found
and il was not thought that she had
received any internal injuries, although
such injuries might not become evident
for a day or two. She was resting com |
fortably last evening. The little girl
was also cut upon the head but no other
serious injuries were received by the oc-
OF the car. The machine itself
was not damaged 10 a great extent and
vas brought TO the Ideal garage for re-
'airs.

By what reason do the managers OF
the Billy Sunday eyangelistic campaign
emphasize the daily money collections in
connection with the number of reported
converts? Presumably it is to show
actually what Billy Sunday is to receive,
thus forestalling any wild rumors OF a
tremendous sum turned over to him.
However, the iuxtaposition OF the soul
and money results of the campaign APP
pears decidedly curious and not a little

Americans in England.

England's attitude toward visitors has
undergone great change since the early
part of the war; England then made it
rather plain to Americans that it could
not carry on war and entertain too much
company at the same time. The fear
OF food shortage was given frankly as
the chief reason for the unusual willing.
ness TO see the hosts of Americans start
homeward. At English ticket agencies
and consular offices on the continent
there was every effort to steer Ameri-
cans directly home rather than have
them go to England en- route.
The coming of spring finds the Eng
lish looking with frank regret to
season that threatens to bring but
shadow of the annual American inya-
sion. Two prominent London newspa-
pers have recently made canvass of
the hotels to get the views of the land.
lords. They report the somewhat sur.
prising condition that there are now
more Americans than is usual at this
season, but they all agree that there
will be great decline in the pleasant
and profitable summer business of en-
they do not seem to understand why this
should be. They try 10 believe that the
San Francisco exposition is the most
important factor in the case. They do
not mention the dangers of transatlantic
travel. Evidently the German subma-
rines and mines create less apprehension
there than here. They dwell on the
unusual attraction that England in war
time offers to the visitor and on the
charms OF Switzerland and the neu-
tral countries of northern Europe, and
they admit that the fewer visitors from
this country viii be serious blow TO
their hotels, stores and tourist shrines. !
Plainly the food problem that doomed |
so big last fall seems no longer serious.
