UNEQUAL GRAND LISTS.

1t NAV be remembered that late in |
1918 The Reformer called attention to
the great inequality in the grand lists
of various Vermont towns and suggest
ed the incoming legislature pass some
law that would make such inequalities
impossible. Nothing was done, how
ever. but now that the large state tax
of forty cents on dollar of the grand
list is to be assessed the state papers
are taking notice of this defective law
The Rutland Herald some days ago
called attention to the amount of state
road taxes certain cities and towns had
to. pay into the state treasury and the
amount they received back for high
way work. It's statement follows:
Rutland city pays the state $5,6s7.24
and receives $4lS.S1 on reapportion-
ment;
Rutland town pays the state $450.05
and receives $2S6.06 on reapportion-
ment;
Danville pays the state $50239 and
receives $l,l45.33 on reapportionment.
This discrepancy is made because the
state road tax is assessed upon the
grand list of the towns and cities and
he state road fund is distributed on
the basis of the town s road mileage.
1t happens that Danville has the larg-
est road mileage of any town or city
in the state but does not have nearly
as large grand list as some, so it
benefits materially under the law.
So long as highway funds are dis
tributed by this method the towns of
large area and small population will
benefit, as the law intends that they
should, but in view of the fact that
such heavy burden of taxation is
placed on the cities and larger towns
the need of uniformity in property
valuation becomes doubly important.

GOVERNMENT AND WHEAT.

1t is difficult for an ordinary person
to understand the truth about the ef-
feet of the guaranteed price by the
government of 1926 per bushel for this
year s crop of wheat. Business men
claim that if the law of demand and
supply was allowed to obtain wheat
would be selling at a much lower price.
They quote the prices in other wheat
growing countries as much lower than
the American price and say the surplus
wheat of those countries is as avail
able to European countries as Ameri
can wheat. The other day when it was
thought the government would remove
its control of the selling price of wheat
the price of -four and some grains
dropped. Announcement that the gov
eminent would continue to maintain
the price was followed by recovery
of prices This would indicate that the
government is maintaining a higher
price than the market warrants.
On the other hand, the New York
Times quotes Chairman Barnes of the
grain corporation as saying that the
world price for all wheat growers has
been $246 and the European growers
price has been 1915, that he has bought
only 100000 bushels of the new
wheat crop and that he is able to keep
the price of -four down by being able
to sell flour at so a barrel where il
rises unduly. This indicates just the
opposite of what business men claim
The common man can take his choice
in the two claims.
We cannot quite understand why, il

IF anybody thinks that the sale of
the government food surplus will ma
terially cut the cost of living, he has
another think coming" says the Man
chester Union. fThere' s only about
$l38,000,000 worth of it-just about
enough for good square meal or two
for the people of this sizeable country"
But every little square meal or two
helps along in the great struggle for a
