GETTING READY FOR DRIVE
Vermont Will Pledge Herself
Between June "a and % to
Buy $7,365,O0O of War
Savings Stamps.


| The week of June "a will tell the story
whether Vermont is to come up to the
| expectations of the government in loan
ing money through War Savings Stamps
for the prosecution of the war. The
government asks 800 per capita from
Vermont, or approximately $7,365,OOC
through the medium of these stamps, to
be paid for by the people during the
calendar year 1918, and to be redeemed
by the government in 1928 after interest
has been compounded quarterly at four
per cent. Thus far only slightly more
than one-tenth of the desired amount has
been purchased. How to insure the sale
of the other nine-tenths of the sum re-
quired of Vermont was the problem
which faced the state director and the
county managers at their recent confer
ence in Montpelier.
In order to accomplish the desired
end, in order to show the government
that Vermont is as ready with her
money as with her men, the conference
chose plan which already had succeeded
in Nebraska and which was being
adopted by several Eastern states. That
plan is to have a statewide drive for
pledges to the War Savings Stamp cam
paign pledges to purchase certain
amounts of the stamps during the re-
mainder of the calendar year. 1t is there
fore not necessary that the amount be
loaned at one time--it can be advanced
to the government in installments
throughout the remainder of the year,
but the sooner it is advanced the greater
the returns on the investment. 1t the
money is not paid Immediately, it per-
haps is better to follow systematic
purchase of SO much each week or each
month.
This pledge campaign will be started,
as already said, on June "a, and the
returns will be tabulated on the night
of June 2S, date set apart by President
Wilson as War Savings Day and to be
designated similarly by Gov. Graham.
This does not mean that the sale of the
stamps, or the pledging will end on June
%. The stamps Gncluding thrift stamps
will continue to be on sale through the
year, and the CO operation of all Yer
monters is urged to increase Vermont's
offering to the government
During the intensive drive it is pro-
posed to make a personal canvass in
avery city and town 10 Vermont in order
10 give everyone a chance to pledge
amounts which they themselves will de-
ermlne. The maximum amounS which
he government allows to be held by one
person is $1,000 maturity value of the
Var Savings certificates, and from that
mount it ranges down to single thrift
lamp for which one pays % cents. By
means of the installment payment it is
made easier for the people to loan their
money to the government.
If Vermont falls short of her obliga- |
ion in this very essential feature of the |
war program it will be a
erious reflection on the state and on a |
pIendid record through the war thus far. |
The way to prevent the state from falling
hort is for everyone to pledge himself
rom June "a to g. Will you do it?

arbitrary graduations of the house bill.
 The bill retains the house provisions for income taxation of salaries, in cluding those possibly of the presi- dent and federal judges, legality of which, the report stated, is left to the courts. if the question is raised. The report, however, that the house clause for federal taxation of new state and municipal bonds lwere stricken out as it seemed inadvisable for congress to attempt to put this tax upon the obli- gatiOns of states and municipalities as long as the states are not free to tax in a similar manner obligations of the United States"
 To Prevent Evasion.
 The plan of requiring affiliated corporations to make consolidated in come tax returns, the report states, will do much 10 prevent tax evasion and the new tax on life insurance companies true income" from in vestments in lieu of war-excess, in come. capital stock and other taxes is more equitable.
 The war excess profits section, the report states, has been simplified and reduced. The house alternative plan of levying war and excess profits at whichever rate would yield the most revenue the committee found objec- tiona5le becadse it's constitutionality is questioned and its administration troublesome to taxpayers.
 Explaining exclusion of individuals and partnerships from war-excess profits taxation, applicable only to corporations, the report stated:
 Individuals and Partnerships.
 Individuals and partnerships pay the heavy surtaXes upon all net in- come, while corporations are relieved from surtaxes upon the portion of their earnings which is not distribut- ed. This inequality is more. than compensated for by the fact that the corporation is subject to the war ex. cess profits tax. The situation as be- tween different forms of business or sanization hacing been brought into approximate balance, it was deemed proper to relieve the corporation from the 6 per cent differential income tax provided by the house bill"
 Regarding the tax on beverages, the report says, no sound reason was found for the house proposal for doubling the present rate Of S2.20 per gallon on non-beyerage alcohol largely used for medicines and household ne cessities:
 Exemption from Bond.
 Exemptions from bond and other costs on distilled liquor remaining in after bone-dry prohibition becomes effective next July, the re- port states. is to prevent hardship upon owners.

BASEBALL RULERS
 MEET IN GOTHAM
CBy Review Leased wire)

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-With election Of a successor to John K. Tener, as president, and formulation of policies regarding players and play in 1919, as the principal scheduled business, Ma tional league baseball club owners were gathering here tonight for their annual meeting beginning at noon to- morrow
 The field of presidential candidates has narrowed down to John A. Heyd- Ter, present secretary treasurer, and John Conway Toole, a lawyer who at various times has served as counsel for the league and the national com mission.
 Another interesting question has to do with the standing of Fred Mitchell recently elected president of the Chi cago club. Under the constitution no player or manager is permitted to rep resent a club at a league meeting, and so far as is known Mitchell still holds the managers authority. Except by unanimous consent which is not con- sidered likely, the constitution cannot be amended at one meeting.

 proposed by the committee thus be- comes clear" the report states. For the fiscal year 1919 it is planned to raise nearly $4,60O,OOO 900 from in come and profits taxes and something over S1, 400, ,000, 900 from other sources for the fiscal year 1920 it is planned to raise somewhat less than $3,OO0,- 100000 from income and profits taxes, and about $1,00O, ,00O,OO0 from other sources. About the general wisdom of such a program we entertain no setrious doubt It is imperative that profits and income for the year 1918 be heavily taxed. This is not only necessary, but it is equitable and in accordance with sound policy. The profits realized during the year 1918 are in large part war profits. They are now in the pocket of the taxpayer; they should contribute heavily before they have been dissipated or rein vested toward the payment of the expenses of the war to which in large measure they are attributable.
 Special Tax Reduction.
 But it is equally imperative that thsse special taxes should be reduced as the occasion which inspired and justified them recedes into the past. To fail adequately to tax the war profits of 1918 would constitute a manifest miscarriage of fiscal justice Not to provide now for the reduction of the war profits tax would be equal ly inexcusable."
 In addition to the tax reductions due to the fact that the government now cOpes with peace instead of war conditions, prohibition is expected to reduce revenue returns greatly.
 Beverage taxes under the house bill were estimated to raise S1.137,- ! 000, 900 during their first F months of operation and $S50,OOO,OOO for the 1919 fiscal year.
 Beverage Tax Loss.
