In new edition of Inheritance Taxes
for Investors" by Hugh Bancroft of the
Massachusetts bar, Vermont is given by
the writer the credit of being "a state
which leads in reform" Mr.. Bancroft
outlines briefly the progress of legisla-
ton in Vermont looking toward this re-
form, beginning with the enactment of
the first collateral inheritance tax in
1896, which was substantially amended
in 1904, again changed to certain ex-
tent in 1912 and brought down to its
present form in 1915. Mr.. Bancroft finds
that "the tax is on collateral inheritances
only, the rate is uniformly per cent,
and no amount is exempt; moreover,
"no tax is levied on an inheritance to
father, mother, husband, wife, lineal ie-
scendsnt, stepchild. adopted child, child
of stepchild or of adopted child. wife or
widow of son, husband. husband Of
daughter" In the opinion Of Mr.. Ban
croft. the Vermont method OF inheritance
taxation is the most satisfactory.

The raising of the Barre postoffice into
the federal designation of first class
which was done on July /, indicates that
the city is making progress substantially
even though slowly. Several other places
in Vermont had already reached such a
classification, due to somewhat unusual
and unstable conditions, but the growth
in the postal business in Barre has been
largely of normal nature unaffected by
temporary imitation. The people of the
community have reason to feel treasured
over the indication of solid development
of their city.

Besides weakening the resistance OF
the Germans to the British and French
thrusts on the western front, really
strong Russian offensive would deprive
Austria of practically half of her sup.
port against Italy. A Russian offensive
Is, therefore, something to be feared by
the central powers at this time of great
demand for soldiers and munitions. The
Russian thrust starts off well because Of
the fact that the eastern front has been
greatly weakened to permit of the re-
moval of troops to the western front Of
Germany and Austria to meet great of
fensives there.

The action of Vermont man John
Senter of Montpelier), who is member
of the Canadian army service abroad, in
petitioning for transfer to the Amer
lean army now modelling back of the
western war front suggests that similar
action by all the Americans now enrolled
in the British or French armies would
make very sizeable addition to the
forces of the United States Without a
doubt there are many thousands OF men
who enlisted in the armies of either
Great Britain or France and who, i'm
mensely pleased by the entry of their
country into the war and actuated by
American patriotism, would be glad to
secure such transfer.

Among the truthful things said by
other members of the hiking party as
they trailed downward was one uttered by
Walter Crockett, newspaperman-a a large
and head OF the publicity bureau at the
University OF Vermont. Mr. Crockett
true saying was that the Vermont Press
association ought to start movement
to erect memorial tablet to Horace
Greeley at East Poultney, the place
where the famous journalist started his
newspaper. 1t was suggested that a
fairly modest sum of money could erect
such tablet and that double that
amount would erect something more than
a respectable tablet. The modest sum
was 800.
