tnte's Tax

ST. Adams, June A.-At a meeting of the
city council last Monday evening 1t was
decided to attempt the collection of the
Fonda estate tax which the board of APP
praiscrs recently declared untaXable. This
decision Of the city to force an issue Will
ste a precedent in law circles for this par
ticular point, and the decision will be
written into the laws of the State of Ver-
mont. The board of appraisers appointed
by Tax Commissioner G. a. plumley Of
Mortified, admitted that their decision
could be questioned. but were obliged to
make a decision. To bring the matter to
the courts, the city must first attempt to
collect the taxes and then 1t rests with
tho Fonda heirs to contest this and bring
the matter to the courts for settlement.
1t is expected that the case will eventually
be carried to the Supreme Court for deci-
sion. The board of appraisers consisted
of II. T. Brigham of Bakersfield, w. II.
Fairchd of Fairfield and f. l.. Webster
of Swanton.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN FRANCE
SET EXAMPLE IN MORALS, SAYS
METHODIST CHURCH SPEAKER

Of American democracy over Ger
man autocracy. They have paid q
great price, but. counting all the
cost, they have found the expendi-
ture justified. They are the very
vanguard OF the pathfinders of civ
ilization; they are the knights of
the twentieth century.
II should be false to these men
IL, having the evidence of their
moral soundness, l did not declare
it; and l should be false to those
who gave them as a priceless offer
ing upon the altar of freedom.
General Pershing and those who
are in authority with him in France
deserve, not a resolution of inquiry
or censure, but a vote of confidence,
with the assurance OF our coopera-
ton and support
THE American soldier is the
worthy inheritor of the finest ira
ditions of American arms, a creSit
to her who bore him, an honor TO
the nation he represents, and the
last and best hope that civilization
will not fail in her struggle to es-
tablish the might of right.
What was the spirit of the
trenches? 1t was the spirit of rare
comradeship. 1 never saw a man IN
Jure another man up there, or seek
to. Quarrels? Sure! And personal
encounters now and then, but these
