RAILROAD CASE
!, SET FOR TUESDAY
Judge Howe to Hear Brattleboro
& Whitehall Matter
Possibility of Some Agreement-Servict
Now Much Better Than Directly After
Recent CuItailment.

Recent Cuitailment.
United States Judge Harland Il. Howe
of Burlington has notified the attorneys
for the Brattleboro & Whitehall Railroad
Go. and the Central Vermont Railway Co.,
A. V. ID. Piper of Brattleboro and John
w. Redmond of Newport respectively,
that he will be ready to hear them rela-
tive to the service on the West River
railroad. formerly the Brattleboro &
afternoon at 9 o'clock. This will be the
opening day of the regular December
term of the United States court in Brat
tleborO.
In this case the Brattleboro & White
hall Co., which turned over its railroad
property to the Central Vermont Co.
under certain conditions relative to SER
vice, has brought bill to enforce spe-
cic performance of the agreement. This
bill was drawn up subsequent to the re-
cent radical curtailment of service, but
inasmuch as the Central Vermont Co. has
improved the service materially since
then, although not fully restoring the
former service, it il possible that some
agreement may be reached without pro-
tracted hearing.
The West River road is now moving
perishable freight and less than carload
lots of freight quickly, and it has re-
stored passenger train service three days
week, the train running as a mixed
train the other three days. The passen-
ger train runs Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays, beginning this week. There
are many who feel that if the passenger
train was run Mondays instead of Tues
days the public would be better accommo-
dated. as there are a number of persons,
besides school students, who come here
Monday and remain until Saturday.
Within n short time the station agents
on the West River road have been dis
charged as such, and those who were
willing to accept offers to remain as care
takers of stations have been hired for
the uniform compensation of $50 a month.
Before that they were being paid from
800 to S135 a month. Under the new
plan they do not sell tickets or ship
freight, but they receive incoming freight
and remain at the stations an hour be-
fore and an hour after the arrival of
| trains.
II. p. Boynton. formerly station agent
at Jamaica, has been appointed travelling
auditor and an Office has been fitted up
in a baggage car. He travels on each
train and sells tickets and transactS
freight business on the train at each sta
ton.

The women of Vermont can vote If
they want to pay poll taxes at the
same rate as the men. This seems to
be the answer Of the present legisla.
ture which has backed up and turned
around few times and finally left
is at the old figure--a poll-tax based on
a grand list Of &c. Some Of the wo-
men fail to recognize the fact that a
two-dollar polttaX list means the tax
rate Of the town applied to'a grand
list Of S. In Bennington this will be
an actual tax Of nearly eight dollars
which the women will have to pay if
they are listed to vote in town and
village meetings unless the legisla-
tire changes its mind again. In the
opinion of The Banner this rate is TOO
high when applied to married coupes

sponsIbiities are not very burden

which VII be hardest hit, particularly
! If the new law is interpreted to mean
that women, like the men, must pay
the poll tax whether they vote or
not Another thing that the women
voters are not yet familiar with is
that all this taxation question applies
merely to the spring elections or
special elections Of town and village.
