The Big Towns Pay.

A somewhat striking side-light on YER
mont tax problems is shown by the re-
turns made to towns after apportion-
ment by the state treasurer AS noted
in yesterdays columns, three sets of
figures tell the story:
Rutland City pays the state S56S7.2
and receives S4ls.sl on re-apportion-
ment.
Rutland Town pays the state s450.05
and receives S2s6.06 on re-apportionment.
Danville pays the state S502.39 and
receives Sl,245.33 on e.apportionment.
The theory of the present system
seems to be that the larger and more
able towns are taxed to help towns with
large road mileage and with small
grand list The law reads in part as fol
lows.
See. 1914, A state highway tax Of five
cents on dollar is hereby annually as.
sessed upon the grail list, exclusive Of
unorganized towns and cores, for the
support Of highways, etc.
Sec; 457s The tax so raised shall be
reapportioned and repaid 10 the several
towns upon a basis Of road mileage, etc.
The theory Of this tax is pretty nearly
pure state socialism, to begin with, and
its application leaves the making up Of
the grand list practically centered in
town officials, the result being that hard
ly any two towns agree on an equitable
basis for determining grand list values.
The listers swear that they will APP
praise such property at its just value
in money but they appraise It accord
ing to their own judgment, SO that Dan
vile, for instance, lists its taxable prop
erty at S0395.47 and raises tax Of
SO on such list.
The town Of Rutland on the other
hand, with a grand list Of S9l0l43, raises
tax of Sl.65. Is there any justice or
equality in such disparity?
Some final authority must be vested
somewhere to adjust these varying val
ues, because, with state taxes assessed
on the whimsical valuations Of local
listers, the town which deliberately
manipulates its grand list gains just SO
much in the exchange of road money,
school money and all other public mon
ey based on grand istjvalues, and the
honest towns pay the difference.
There is nothing fair about such sys-
tenn, and it calls for amendment in no
uncertain terms Rutland Herald

The Teachers Vacation

People who imagine that the schoo
teachers have long vacation entirely
devoted to rest, and envy the school
marms lot, do not realize how the ma.
jority of them spend their time,
Their salaries have been so low, that
the greater part of them have to work
hard through the summer.
Many of them are daughters of farm
ers
They return to help their mothers
through the rush of the harvest season
