OFFERS STATE FAIR GROUNDS.
For State Troops or Regulars Training
in Vermont.

The Vermont state fair commission
at meeting held in the office of Score.
tary Davis at White River Junction Tues.
day, voted unanimously to offer the use
of the state fair grounds to the gov
ernor, to be utilized by United States
troops, the First Vermont regiment or
Home Guards for drill ground, rendez-
vous camp. or any purpose for which
they are adequate. In case the state or
the United States government should
decide to organize an aviation corps in
the east tie grounds would be found to
be almost ideal for this purpose.
The commission extended power to
the secretary to let out such plots of
ground as are suitable for garden pur-
poses to the school children of the town
of Hartford.
Commissioner Mann was made super
intendent of amusements. He reported
that the attractions to be presented at
the fair to be held on Tuesday, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, Sept. Is, 10,
20 and 81, would embrace many novel
ties, including an air man who would
give demonstrations that would typify
air warfare as carried on in the Europe
an conflict.
Ii was decided to limit the poultry
exhibit to producing breeds from Yer
mont and New Hampshire and to change
this exhibit from the regular poultry
pavilion to one OF the cattle exhibition
sheds, and to hold an automobile show
in the poultry pavilion This exhibit
will be in charge OF Superintendent Will
liams, who viii also have charge Of the
midway. 1t was voted to give night
shows on the midway, with the vaude-
willie performers who viii give enter
tainments on the open stage in front of
the grand stands each afternoon. fur

that with this action the mid
way will be the largest and best ever
seen on the state fair grounds.

emit at the meeting and all present pre-
dicted the state fair would be literally
patronized this year.

CHELSEA

Milward c. Taft, one of the hustling
young attorneys of Addison county who
has been successfully practicing law in
Bristol for the past two years, has To-
Gated here for the practice of his pro-
fession and is established in the court
house in the offices occupied for nearly
twelve years by Stanley G. Wilson, who
on account of his recent election to a
position on the superior bench is obliged
to retire from law practice, and it is
largely through Judge Wilson's efforts
that Mr.. Taft has decided to come to
Chelsea TO locate. Mr. Taft is twenty
seven years old and is a native of Wal
than, was raised on farm, attended
Vergennes high school and is graduate
of the Ohio Northern University College
of Law in the class of 1913. He practiced
law in Columbus, Ohio, for short time,
returning to Vermont and after working
in the law offices OF Stickney Sar
gent & Skeels OF Ludlow for time
sufficient to meet the requirements of
the Vermont law was admitted to the
bar in this state. He was assistant Sec
rotary OF the Vermont Senate in 1918
and again in 1917. He comes from Bris-
toll we'll recommended by those who
know him for honesty, ability and will
ingness to work. He has wife and one
child and will soon move his family to
Chelsea but will necessarily require
some time to close up his business mat
ters in Addison county. His Office will
be kept open all the time in Chelsea, as
Miss Lydia S. Buell. and Lyle r. Beck
with, who have assisted Mr.. Wilson in
the past, will remain for time at
least Judge Wilson will retain desk
room in the offices for the more con
senient handling OF his personal bus

CLARK DEMANDS HEAVY
TAX Upon WAR PROFITS
Applause Delays Speaker
When He Asserts Ii80 Per
Cent Is Not Too Much"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Speaker
Champ Clark, taking the floor in the
house today, reopened the battle of
wealth conscriptionists, demanding that
great war profits be heavily taxed. The
temper of the house toward the coming
fight was shown in tremendous applause
of Clark's words. His declaration that
80 per cent of the war profits is not too
much to take" aroused such demon
stration that Clark was forced to stop
speaking.
He vigorously fayed profteering, say
ing:
eff our young men are willing to risk
their lives, our wealthy men needn't be
afraid to risk the dollar"
Clark's action and his decision, the
heels of the senate's refusal to fix more
than 81 per cent FAX on war profits, was
taken as a strong indication that such
profits are not yet safe 1t also empha-
sizes the wide split between the house
and senate on the revenue bill and ausurs
long drawn debate before the revenue
bill is a law. The bill as passed by the
senate will be fought on the floor Of the
house.
Meantime senate conservatives began
their flghts to prevent the wealth con-
scriptionists increasing the tax on giant
incomes.
Senator McCumber, North Dakota, said
he fears higher incomes taxes Will
dampens the nations war spirit.
Few senators realize how heavily We
taxed stockholders by our action yes
terday on war profits" said McCumber
"a man who ought to get 100000 in divi-
dends from a corporation making 100
per cent profits this year. will get only
$4,000 for the support of his family
after he has paid all federal. state and
municipal taxes. Therefore we ought not
TO increase the income tax one cent"
Senate consideration of the in
come tax section in the war rev.
onue bill began today following
yesterdays rout of the forces adj
vocating higher !evies on war eX-
cess profits. All Of their proposals
were beaten, the senate voting 70 to Z,
to retain the finance committees COM
promise provisions for a total levy of
$1,2S6, 100000, an increase of $1,000
100000 over the present taxes.
The action virtually ends the fight
over war profits taxation, although it
is subject to review when the bill comes
up for passage. So. far, however, there
has been no indication that the contest
would be renewed.
Debate on the income tax section
opened today under an agreement for
a final vote tomorrow. The section, as
rewritten by the committee, is designed
to raise sS5O,0OO,OOO from incomes.
S36O,OOO, 900 from corporations and the
balance from individuals.
High tax senators were ready to
make a determined fight for further
taxation of incomes. Senator LaFol-
lette and Hollis had prepared amend
ments to raise the individual levy to
approximately s65O.O50, 900 and $751;
100000. respectively.
Defeat of all such proposals was seen
today by the leaders as a result Of the
senate's action on war profits taxation.
