come tax are likely to be increased very
largely next year. This is not to say
that all eligible income taxpayers among
the workers in the steel mills are dodg-
ing their responsibility and obligation
but that no doubt many of them slip
through the governments dragnet on the
supposition that they are wage earners
and thus would not be expected to be
paying such thing as an income tax.
In fact, the vast increase in wages in
many lines OF occupation is likely to
have a tendency to swell the receipts
from the income tax in 1920 far above
the income in 1919 providing the govern
ment is successful in ferreting out those
who fail to realize their own responsible.
ity. To this end the testimony recently
presented to the Senate committee which
is Investigating the steel strike situation
will be very valuable.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Cows and Tuberculosis.

Editor, Times. The city council has
passed an ordinance that one who sells
milk in this city shall have license to
sell the same and have cows tested for
tubercuar trouble. As result, COWS
are being slaughtered here and there,
Milk goes up to rs cents a quart, with
q short supply at that. The veterinary,
outside of the state officer, gets SIS for
his services and the canning factory at
Burlington gets full supply, and every
one that has a COW changes TO making
butter after Jan. |.
The question may be asked, whether
there is cause for this order being
made at this time. Can any doctor or
layman point to single case where tu-
berculosis has been taken from cows in
our communityg
There is another question | would like
to ask, if you can receive tubercular
germs from milk why can you not re-
ceive them from butter and meat that
60 10 the consumerl
We all know that this an age OF pro-
erosion, that new ideas spring up year
by year and more especially among the
doctors They may be right, or they may
be wrong If theories are right, they
should be accepted. If they are wrong,
they should be discarded. Certainly we
should have the assurance that they are
right before we put them in actual prae-
tice. Veritas.

EXPERIENCED Legislators.

The small towns being in such large
majority they undoubtedly will prevent
the elimination Of town representation
in Vermont. This should be remembered
in suggesting any changes to the consti-
tuition Of the state It ia not so certain
they would oppose a change in the term
OF Office for town representative Il 1t
could secure more experienced members
in the state legislature. The efficiency
Of experienced men in any undertaking
is generally recognized. In industry the
experienced man receives more compen-
sation for his service but in the Yer
mont legislature be does not Therefore
majority of experienced members
would reduce the cost of legislation and
tend to reduce state expenses.
So we renew our suggestion that the
constitution be changed and the term Of
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-10-06

town representative be six instead OF
two years and the terms of only one
third OF the members expire in any two
year period In other words, let one
third Of the towns of the state in 1924
elect representatives for a term of two
wears, one. third for term of foutHears
and one third for a term of six years.
Then as the terms of representatives ex-
pire, elect representative for term Of
, six years.
As soon as the new system was in
effect each legislature would have two
thirds Of its members experienced legis-
lators. It would greatly expedite legis-
FatIon and make il safer because it would
be more intelligent, Public sentiment
could be expressed in the election Of the
Senate, the members Of which would be
elected every two years as now No law
could be passed without the approval of
the Senate and that body would be re.
sponsible to the sentiment of the year in
which they were elected
This change should be seriously con
sidered By the public and suggested to
the commission that is to prepare sug.
gested changes to the next legislature. -

Several scores of gasoline dealers in
Massachusetts, have been given gentle
reprimand because they sold their Gus
toners short measure on gasoline. Incl
dentally, the gasoline dealers are allowed
to keep their stolen gains. The amount
by which they have cheated their GUS
toners ought to be reckoned up and the
dealers compelled to donate the money
to some home for the destitute. It would
be the fitting judgment on them.

The 1919 fair season is at an end, with
the sponsors of the Brattleboro fair scor-
ing about the only 100 per cent perfect
weather conditions. It has been most
unfortunate year for the people who
back this grand old institution Of Yer
mont, but it is to be hoped that none Of
the hackers will be discouraged by the
situation so that they will give up the
attempt another year The agricultural
fair with its various side issues is bound
to be one of the joys of the fall season in
little old Vermont and people will flock
to the exhibitions under decent condi-
tions. They all rock forward to better
weather during the fall of 1920

that is, it is dependent upon the honesty
