4 LOOK AHEAD IN VERMONT.

The taxpayers of Vermont should take
time to consider the important fact that
they have practically reached the limit
OF taxation of corporations. Our
columns will hear witness to the fact
that We urged an increase in the taxes
of railroads and other corporations to
bring their rate nearer that of indi-
Viduals Having taken this step, Yer
mont can not wisely increase those taxes
materially
This means that the limit of income
for the State outside Of direct taxation
has been reached. In other words. Yer
mont taxpayers and legislators must
face the necessity OF choosing between
the abandonment of further public i'm
provements, curtailment Of expenses
and direct tax
Some people insist that regular direct
tax on individual taxpayers for State
purposes would tend to promote economy
on the part Of the Legislature in
response to popular demand BE all this
as it may, 1t is time for the people Of
1 Vermont to consider retrenchment and
economy in State expenditures as an
tax.

WHERE DRUG STORES FLOURISH.

Latin Americans are great believers in
medicines and, due to the scarcity Of
physicians, are obliged to doctor them
selves. Pharmacy is consequently profit
able. With the exception OF modern
Europe, Canada and the United States.
pharmacy Is practiced in other lands of
the world much as it was in the United
States IS or 100 years ago, and this is
particularly true OF the republics to the
south OF lis. The individual druggist
makes his own pills, extracts, tinctures,
infusions and puverizes his own crude
drugs. Soda water fountains are few.
The usual rubber goods, toilet articles,
soaps. perfumes, instruments and sun
dries are carried. Each druggist makes
a line OF his own specialties which he
pushes. In addition to the standard
drugs and medicines he also carries rem
edies and indictments known only in
his immediate vicinity. They are mostly
OF Indian origin. compounded from roots,
herbs, or other ingredients, produced only
in the country where he lives. These
find ready sale among all classes. SUI
perstitious ideas are prevalent and these
are frequently taken advantage OF by
a fortune selling Indians. half-castes.

GERMAN PEACE PREPARATIONS.

The world has come to expect fore
handedness on the part Of the Germans.
whether in peace or war. We have seen
how the Germans had apparently antici-
pated every need in connection with
the great war and provided long in adj
vance against a time of need We are
evidently now about to witness the
same long sightedncss in preparations
for peace.
According to advices from Berlin Ger
many is already formulating the argu-
ments to be used in establishing the
various claims she proposes to make
in connection with any settlement of
terms Of peace, 1t is significant and
characteristic that the Berlin authori-
ties should be engaging in this task,
while the allies are hurrying to make
up their deficiencies as regards prepara-
lions for war
The first proposition Germany will
seek to meet is the allegation, she has
learned the British, French and Rus
stans will make, that IL was the Ger
mans who started the war. 1t is an
nounced that Germany is prepared to
meet this issue with general and
positive denial. A document is said
to have been prepared to show that
Germany never wanted war with hel
neighbors, but on the contrary sought
TO the last moment to maintain the
peace of Europe. The New York
Worlds representative secured a copy
Of this document while at The Hague.
