TIME UP TOMORROW
FOR APPEAL ON TAX
Last Day to Make Applica.
ton for Adjustment of Dis
trict Personal Tax.

Tomorrow is the last day on which
you can note an appeal from the per.
sonal tax assessed against you by
the District government.
Out of $4,000 notices sent out bv
the board of personal tax appeals to
individuals who did not make the re-
CURED return last July or whose re-
turn was unsatisfactory, only about
10000 have been heard from. This
means that with the board ready to
adjourn tomorrow there are in tho
neighborhood Of $4,000 personal tax
payers who have not yet taken ad-
vantage of tho offer to appeal from
the assessment fixed by tho District.
If you are one Of the $4,000 and
feel that the Districts assessment is
not fair. call on the board Of ap-
peals on the first floor of the Dis
trict building tomorrow and secure
an adjustment.
It is likely that many Of the notices
that have not been heard from were
addressed to persons who were here
during tho war and have departed in
sible that the number includes notices
that have gone astray in the shifting
of tenants from one house to another.
The personal tax. which includes
tangible and intangible property. is
payable in May.
Officials in the personal tax Office
expect tho revenue from this source
to be greater this year than last year.
Last year 21,o00 notices Of assessment
and invitations to appeal were sent
out as compared with $4,000 this year.

Violent Reaction Evident.
NO one who gives the subject

note the violent reaction which
has Set in against the volstead act
IN the east. and in the large cities
and certain Of the more populous
states of the west. 1t is notice
able likewise in some sections of
the south. One can bring the mat
ter home by hearing the every
day talk Of neighbors and the
community generally: in the street
cars, in casual conversation most
anywhere.
People who are dead set against

cuous dispensation Of liquors and
who would cut on a right hand be-

wish for the restoration Of beers

Makeh PslitscSees Anxious.
At any rate. there is evidence OF.
= SUFFICIENT amoaht of this senti-
ment to cause the politicians to be-
gin to take cognisance Of It and to
speculate upon its effect in the con-
gressional elections. One Of the
prominent republican managers. an
avowed prohibitionist and as
straight-laced q, churchman as
ever echoed "amen" in tho front
pew, Is described as worried pretty
nearly sick over the signs of the
times in the reaction sweeping the
states sending big delegations to
the House.
1t is not the thought of a clean

cold. calculating eye Of the practi-
cal politician, that tho democratic
national contention will have the

But the point is this: In states
where the democratic party thinks
that light wines and beer are popu-

individual candidates. New York
and New Jersey democrats have al
ready taken the initiative in this
direction. The unofficial democratic
convention of New York has prac-
tically indorsed it, while the New
Jersey democratic state organiza-
ton. from top to bottom, is COM
mitted to it outright.

Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana. H.

gether with assachusetts. Mary
land and Missouri. including large
urban populations. are expected to
furnish good ground for the
growth Of sentiment favorable to
liberalizing existing law, without
going to the extent Of repeating it.
The question confronting the
republican leaders is whether DEM
ocratic candidates for Congress
are to be allowed to have a mo-
nopoly in reaping the harvest thus
cultivated. or whether some repub-
1ican candidates may not be per-
mitted to go in with scythe. reap
er and binder as well. with the
tacit consent of the republican or
ganization, though without plat
form Endorsement
Ware Goes 1t Alone.
At least one republican candidate
has solved the question for HIM
self. without asking "by your
leave" of the party organization.
Mr.. Ware of Philadelphia has an
nounced On a platform Of. light
beer. If the party organization
does not agree to wink at the pol
icy. at least. other candidates on
the republican ticket in districts
where the sentiment is known to
be overwhelmingly for liberaliza-
tion OF the law may take the mat
ter in their own hands.
The principal fear which haunts
republican party managers at this
time is that out Of the state Of un.
certainty and mystery In which the
democratic presidential candidacy
Is at present enveloped may come
an unwelcome surprise. in the
choice Of candidate who might
appeal strongly to the popular
imagination. over and above all
consideration of platform dec
laration. which in point Of fact
may not ditfer radically from the
republican platform. Reinforced
by the sentiment which might back
congressional candidates on their
individual policies appealing to
popular favor. \ menacing vote
could be rolled up.
Court Independent Voters.
That the more astute democratic
managers are intent upon making
their biggest drive for the in
dependent vote-and the women's
vote-is the conviction Of republi-
can leaders. In that enterprise they
detect the greatest danger to their
own party ticket. especially If the
head Of it is chosen from the old
line republicans.
All signs. it is agreed. point to
the subordination of strict party
lines to independent thought to an
extent greater in this election than
possibly ever before. The portents
are noted in every quarter, and
are recognized and realized by the
veriest laymen in politics. The
personality Of the candidates, their
appeal to the popular Imagination
and their attitude on supposedly
popular questions will decide the
ballots Of untold thousands in the
November elections, all observant
political leaders agree.

CABOT
In Poor Health for Many Years Hiram
Warren Died of Heart Trouble.

Hiram Warren, youngest son OF
Chester and Mary Walker, passed
away at his home in "Walkersway'
Oct. 8, after a few weeks illness with
heart trouble; aged 20 years and ten
| months. After attending the schools
in his own town and high school two
years, he went to st. Johnsbury one
year and to L%yndonville agricultural
school a year, being obliged to leave
there on account of illness with rheu-
matte fever, which ended his school
days. In January, 1917, he, with his
brother, William, purchased the home
farm and they have since done business
under the name of Walker brothers.
Last May he was obliged to give up
farm work on account of heart trouble
and took up COW testing in the north
ern part of the state, making his home
in Enosburg Falls. Sept. Is he came
home, i'll with rheumatic fever, from
which he could not ecover. Being Of
such ambitious nature, it was a heavy
stroke to give up all his undertakings.
Having always lived in town, he was
well known as a young man of good
habits, making friends with the young
people wherever he went. Whenever
health permitted he attended the Con
gregational church.
Besides his parents. he leaves n
brother, William, three sisters, Mrs.
Hattie Bean Of this town, Mrs. ]. n.
Wilson of Lunenburg, Miss Marion
Walker of Mortified. The family fully
appreciated the kindness of their
n~eighbors and friends during the i'll.
ness of their loved one, and have ex-
pressed their thanks for the sympathy
shown them in so many ways and
which helped to tighten their deep sor-
row.
Funeral services were held at the
home, Rev. NJ. w. Hale officiating, fol
lowed by the Odd Fellows rites at
the cemetery, where his remains were
placed in the family lot. !
