PROGRESSIVES WILL
MEET CONCURRENTLY
WITH REPUBLICANS
Convention Will Be Held at Chicago on
June in the Hope That the Two
Parties May Agree Upon
Candidate for President.

Chicago, Jan. l2.--The Progressive
party will hold its national convention
June 7 in Chicago, concurrently with
the convention of the Republican party
in the hope that both may agree upon
the same candidate for president. This
action was decided upon yesterday.
Forty-seven of the As states were rep
resented at the meeting. Before ad-
journment the committee adopted dec
laration of principles in which the adj
ministration of President Wilson was
criticized for its alleged failure to deal
with national honor and in
dustrial welfare, and the Progressive
party went on record as favoring com
plete preparedness program. consisting
OF military armament as well as a mo-
bilization of all the country's resources
with view of the unification of Ameri-
can citizenship.
A message was read from Theodore
urging the necessity for ade-
luate preparedness, which was enthusi-
astically applauded. Progressive lead
ars declared that there would be no
with the Republican
,arty, even in the event of both parties
,hoosing the same presidential candi-
late. The Progressive party plans to
dominate national ticket at its con
'ention in June.
Many of the party leaders declared
hat if the Republicans will nominate
Roosevelt, or any other man who is re-
'arded as unobjectionable and will in
in their platform the salient
of the Progressive principles, |
10Th parties will unite on the same can
idate in Chicago next June.

AppRAIsING BANK STOCK.
To Secure Uniformity Throughout State
for Taxation Purposes.

State Treasurer Walter r. Scott, Bank
Commissioner Frank c. Williams and
Commissioner of Taxes Charles A. Plum.
ley were at the State Hcase to-day, act.
ing in their capacity a. appraisers OF
bank stock, ex.ofiicio, pursuant to the
provisions Of No. 81 of the acts of 1915,
which constitutes them board of APP
praisers, whose duty il shall be in the
month of January, in each year, to APP.
praise at a fair and just value the capi-
tai stock OF all the banks in the state of
Vermont which are required TO make re.
ports 90 the commissioner of taxes.
Section two of the aforementioned
act provides that this board shall first
determine the total true cash value OF all
such shares of stock in said several cor
porations. but If any such corporation
owns and pays taxes upon real estate,
the assessed value of the same shall be
deducted from the total value of such
shares, and the remainder of such total
value, divided by the total number of
shares, shall be taken as the valuation
ipi baAhoioh Pun Poeto VI NoSh VI sueh
shares.
The act then goes on TO provide for an
appeal on the part of the banks if they
are dissatisfied with the appraisal as
made, to the board of appeals which
hears appeals in the case Of railroad and
telephone appraisals.
The act also provides that when the
appraisal is finally settled and estab- |
ished, the commissioner of taxes shall |
notify the board of listers in each town
as TO the value placed an each share of
stock in the several banks of the state.
Everyone who has anything to do with |
AK matters or who heard the discussion |
n the legislature when this law was
pending realizes that one of the great |
inequalities in taxation arises from the
ack Of uniformity u. the appraisal of
hares of bank stock in the different
owns throughout the state.
Instead of having the listers in every
own in the state appraise this bank
took and, as a result, having almost
S many different valuations as there
re boards of listers, the board appoint
d by this act viii make the appraisal
nd certify the same to the listers, and
he result win be a uniform valuation,
nd therefore taxation on uniform !
asis on the same stock throughout the
tate. In making their valuation, the
card of appraisers is governed and con
rolled by substantially the same law
5 that under which listers in the several
1wns have acted heretofore.
