MUST RECTIFY

Vermont Internal Revenue Bureau to

Vermont, announces that special drive

who have followed erroneous methods in
making their inventories for the taxable
years 1917 and l9lS-such methods tending
to reduce tax liability-is about to be
made by the bureau of internal revenue.
In cases OF voluntary disclosure before
investigation of failure to make proper
-eturn and payment, the policy of the
bureau. 1t was stated, will be to forego
penalties except where there is intention
ii evasion of the tax. Where discovery is
made by government officers heavy penal
lies will apply
In some cases inventories have been
found to have been taken on the basis
0f average costs, though it was possible
TO identity the articles remaining on hand
At the inventory period, and so determine
their exact cost In others. because of con-
servative accounting methods fat per-
eentages have been deducted after deter
mining values. Others use fixed aver
age, based upon costs of prior wears. or
fail to include all merchandise to which
they have title in their inventory.
All of these methods, which have the
effect Of reducing tax liability. are con-
| trary to the regulations of the bureau
and are illustrative, it was said, OF num-
erous irregularities which have been found.
A warning issued by the bureau advises
| taxpayers who have followed such methods
TO file correct returns without notice and
without investigation. Some taxpayers
have voluntarily notified the bureau of
the employment of incorrect methods. and
are filing amended returns. 1t is only fair

their competitors who have made similar
errors should be located.

FORESTRY IN VERMONT.

Recently announcement was made that
two trained foresters had been en-
gagged by the forestry department of
the state. 1t would have been equally
interesting to have had their duties in
the new positions announced, but thus
far we have failed to learn what their
duties are to be. 1t has been an
nounced that the state has been di-
vided into ten districts and man is
employed in each district to hunt for
evidences of white pine blister rust.
map is to be made of the state show
ing sections where this disease has
caused damage and where it is just
making its appearance Gin order that
it may be combatted more intelligent
w."
Has any cure or prevention of this
disease been found? If so, what is
it? Taxpayers of the state would be
interested to know just what benefits
are to be expected from this work.
The need of more intelligent con-
duet of the lumber business in Vermont
is painfully evident, but the devasta
ton of forest land is not the work of
the state but of private owners. The
forestry department has no authority
to regulate the cutting of lumber on
private property and but little i'm
provement in the numbering off meth
DDS of the large timber land owners
has been effected.
The state has acquired some consid-
cradle tracts of cut over and burned
over timber lands, by gift and purchase,
which it is operating as demon stration
plots of the proper development and
harvesting of timber crops. 1t also
conducts seeding plots to furnish peo-
pie with young trees for planting. All
of these things are good but we are not
sure they are sufficient to protect the
natural forests of the state.
The sum appropriated for forestry
work is comparatively small, around
$4,000 a year, we believe, but it is
proper to inquire how that is being ex-
pended and what results are being Sc
cured. Quite complete statement by
this department of what it is doing and
what it is accomplishing would be in
teresting and might instruct the public
/ so it could intelligently support OF
change the policies of forestry in Yer

Tourist Travel.

Tourist travel was at its height last

the Brattleboro Reformer noting that

TO GIVE JOINT RECITAL.
Well-known Soprano and Famous Whist
Ter Here Oct. "a.

Musical Brattleboro will rejoice in the
news that Claire Lillian Peteler. the we'll
known soprano, and Sibyl Sanderson
Pagan, whistler, together with Harry L.
Humphrey, entertainer, are scheduled to
appear in a concert in the Auditorium
Friday evening, Oct. "a. This joint reel
tai will be a special musical treat for
the residents of this locality combining
as it does two interesting features in
one.
Miss Peteler flashed upon the musical
horizon in the spring of 1917. with a
wonderfully successful debut at the New
York Mozart society. She began the
study of the piano when she was seven
years old, and the next year her voice
was heard by great opera singer, who
described the quality as that of tears
in the voice"
Miss Pagan is strictly American
product. She too began her artistic ca
reer when a little girl Most children
can whistle. but it wasn't until profes-
sional whistler visited her home, Spring
field, Ohio, that Miss Pagan discovered
she could whistle better than others. So
she began to study breathing, which is
as important in whistling as in singing.
She studied the piano too and claims
that this developed her artistic ideals
so that she determined to make her gift
for whistling real art and not just an
amusing novelty.
Miss Pagan uses two fingers when
Iwhistling and on each is a callous spot
just below the first joint where she bites
them, lightly for the notes. and twice
Jas hard for the trills,' as she puts it.
Miss Pagan says that using her fingers
this way is the only way she ever wills.

lips from getting tired. Certain it is
that she can whistle longer and with
greater volume of smoothness than any.
