There Is something the matter with
the Vermont inheritance tax if Hetty
Green's estate of 100000 900 to $780, |
100000 is allowed to get by by pay
ing tax OF S1,25O. In New York |
state the estate would be forced to |
pay $4000,000 which would make a |
pretty tidy sum for the Vermont state |
treasury. Just think of the good
roads this sum would build, or the
help that interest on the sum year by
year would be to the schools of the
| state. The Vermont law provides for
a tax of collateral inheritances only,
the requests to direct relatives being
| immune from Standardization
RefOrmer
It seems to The Banner that this
Hctty Green estate ought to show
Vermont the value of direct inherit
lance tax as means of raising state
revenue 1t is the least burdensome
Of all taxes and ii properly arranged
so as to touch small estates lightly
or not at all and increasing in rate as
the estate grows in size it would
largely increase the income of the
state without taking any more III
most cases than the deceased ought
to have paid during his lifetime. The
state Of Vermont needs revenue to
build roads to promote education to
care for the dependant classes and TO
develop the resources of the state.
The present resources of the state
are pretty well taxed. The Banner
believes that the tax on savings de
POSTS invested in the state should be
reduced from seven mills to three
1 mills in order to encourage home in
! yestment and the development OF Yer
mont resources The Banner also be
licyes that the tax on railroad prop
] erty in Vermont ought to be eased III
little especially on those roads
which do not earn dividends. Like
Il wise it would do away with the diree
! state tax These reductions canno
q be made, however, unless the reyenu
so lost can be supplied from som
] other source. The proper source Is
8 tax on inheritances, direct as well a
collateral. A person who inherit
five thousand dollars ought to be vii
- ing to pay tax OF fifty dollars and
ii persons who inherts million dollar
might in all justice be required
4 pay fifty thousand. Twice in recei
81 years the Vermont House of Repr
81 sontatives has passed direct inner
~ lance tax, but the bill has been killo
in the Senate. The people ought
eT send Senators and representatives
SN Mou,nelier next winter pledged to
~ tirctt inheritance tax. Another II
M purt It reason Is that unless I'll
,I source of revenue is taken advanta
- of by the state it will be gobbled
< by the general government and
# will then be lost to us forever.

WHITE STRANGER
LOSES HIS MONEY


A white stranger, who did not leave
his name at the station, but who said
that he was from Falco. Ala, COM
planned to the police last night that
some time during the afternoon all
the cash he possessed, amounting to
more than $50, had been taken from
him. He said the roll had been ex-
tracted from his pocket while he "sat
in one of them there services clubs,
as they calls them," but could indi-
cate to the police no one which APP
peared to look like the one he had
visited.
The police did not attach much Gre
dence to the story, from the fact that
the stranger could not tell anything
much concerning his movements since
''the clock struck IL o'clock" or at
noon Thursday. =.

EXPECT ARETHUSA
To BRING THE NEW
NAVY D|R|GIBLE HERE

Construction of a dock at the navy
yard for the accommodation of the
collier Arethusa, is rapidly nearing
completion, and as the boat is expect
ed this week, the pier will probably
be ready for service upon her ar
rival.
The Arethusa is out of Boston, and
stopped at Charleston, leaving the
South Carolina port Sunday bound for
Pensacola. The exact nature of her
cargo, or the reason for her calling
is not known, but it was unofficially
announced yesterday that the vessel
brings either the complete dirigible
balloon recently constructed, or parts
to be used in assembling the craft.
The big floating hangar for the
dirigible has been completed for sew
eral weeks, and it is understood that
the balloon has been given final tests
at the factory by naval engineers.
Everything is in readiness for receiv-
ing the craft here, and it will proba-
bly, be tried out as soon as it ar
rives. Additional tracks are being
laid along the new pier, evidently for
assisting in unloading the cargo.

SAYS COAL INDUSTRY
BE MAINTAINED BY
RATE ADJUSTME

Chicago, Nov. 16.-Giving as a
promise the fact that the coal indus
try has been built up and must, to
some extent at least, be maintained
by rate adjustments, predicated on
competitive economics and CONNER
zeal conditions, as well as on trans
portation conditions, r. w. Ropie-
quet, of st. Louis, gave the American
Mining Congress today some sug
gestions for governing conditions. He
favored an organization similar to
that recommended for adjustment of
mining legislation questions, and
said:
''Let each of the competing fields,
considered from the standpoint OF
larger units, form its own organiza-
ton which shall adjust smaller minor
local differences, and represent this
field in all traffic matters and in the
larger joint body.
"Let these representatives of the
smaller organizations form such a
joint body representing the whole
competing industry, which latter shall
consider the rate adjustments as be-
tween the larger units. and represent
the industry in traffic matters af-
fecting coal interests generally.
"Both of these bodies might gradu-
ally secure from the carriers adjust
ments between the competitive fields
which would not ignore the COMPETE
tive relatively of the inter-related
fields.
"Only when no adjustments could
be secured through either of these
bodies, and in case of the smaller
body, until the matter has been pass
ed upon by the larger body, should
recourse be had to the regulating
commission"

The membership campaign of the
Boys Division of the Y. M. C. A..
made very good showing for the
first day, several of the captains were
SO busy looking up new members
that they did not take the time to re-

Junior Team A, has the honor of OBJ
tanning the highest number of points
for the day, but was run a close sec

Today all teams are free to go
after any prospect, whether listed or
not. From reports this will be rec

with General Black at Washington,
whose duty it is to inspect and pass
upon bridges of the kind which is now

the bridge is progressing rapidly and
at the present rate should be in use

REV. SLAUGHTER At
". HILL METHODIST

Rev. D. P. Slaughter, pastor of the
First Methodist Church, preached at
the West Hill Methodist Church last
night, in which place very success
full revival meeting has been in prog
ress for the last week. Dr. Slaugh-
ter selected as his text the words,
"When thou vowest vow unto God,
defer not to pay it, from Ecclesiastes
sd, and at the conclusion of the in
teresting talk, number went for
ward upon invitation from the speak
er declaring their intention to pay
the vow they subscribed to when
they joined the church, a WOW made
unto God"
It had been intended to bring the
meetings to a close tonight, but this
viii probably not be done because of
the increasing interest being shown
by the large congregations, who
crowd into the limited space of the
church, despite the unfavorable
weather conditions. Announcement
of whether or not the meetings will
be continued will be ade at the
meeting tonight.

Sub Commander Denies
Firing on Rowannore

Berlin, Wednesday, Nov. 15.-
(Wireless to the Associated Press via
Sayville. Assertions that the Ger
man submarine which sank the Brit
ish ship Rowanmore, on which there
were several Americans, fired upon
her lifeboats are dismissed as utter
~ false by the submarine commander
in his report
In fact, it is said. the men on the
Rowanmore owe their lives to the pre-
cautions taken by the Germans and
the skill with which their operations
were carried out. During the twenty
minute pursuit of the steamship the
submarines shot were aimed accu-
rately astern to limit the danger to
the crew, which were congregated at
the bow.

effect it viii have on Pensacola, Mr..
Barclay stated that great number of

when connection is poor, do a vast
amount of trading in this city. This
he said viii be increased when easy
connection is establishd, for the one
hindrance of adequate communica-
ton between the two counties has
been the lack of facilities for crossing

POLICE OFFICERS
ARREST KEEPERS OF
ALLEGED TIGERS"

Warrants for the arrest of three
white men, charged with the violation
of ordinance No. 189, of new series,
or, that they were keeping for sale
and selling liquors without having
paid for and obtaining the required
license, were issued at the police sta
ton yesterday afternoon, and were
signed by Captain of Police Tnos. H
lCusachs. Two were served shortly
after being sworn to These proceed
ings resulted in the arrest of Peter
Delano, doing business as a sailors
outfitter, at GOT 1-2 South PalafoN
street, and also M. Selix, who works
for the first-named defendant. The
other warrant was in the hards of an
officer for service.
The defendants will all probably be
arraigned in the recorders court this
morning for trial. Mr.. Delano, while
at the station arranging for his own
bond, and also the bond of Selix, stat
ed that, if the officers were "going
after blind tigers, they would have to
get them ALL" and that he would see
to it that other were caught, even if |
have to bring men here to work up
the evidence. They are all blind
tigers he said, "after o'clock"
The warrants are understood to
have been made upon what the police
claim to be evidence of the strongest
nature possible, but this would not
last night be divulged. It is under
stood that several specially commits
stoned special officers have been
sworn in during the past few days,
with instructions to see and stop the
selling of liquor illegally in Pensa-
cola. 1t was claimed that one of these
special officers has handed in enough
evidence to warrant the arrest of
more than half dozen others, and
that the cases will be made in due
time
Recently, agents of the United
States Government have interested
themselves in local conditions, one or
more conferences having been held
with the police department relative to
the reported illegal sales in the city,
but whether or not action would be
taken remains to be later developed.
Tt is known, however, that special
revenue men have visited the police
station once or twice, hearing of the
reported arrests of illegal whiskey
selling.
