Are Your Taxes Paid?
Montpelier Argus.l

Anyone who is not quite sure that all
of his federal taxes are paid up<to date
had better look after the matter quickly,
for early in July the new commissioner of
internal revenue will institute a general
drive to gather in all delinquent accounts
The drive is to be confined principally to
the large cities, for it is believed that the
greatest laxity exists there But the least
doubt in any quarter will result in visit
from the flying tax squadron, clothed with
full authority to investigate books and
other records. 1t was discovered recently
in New York city that amusement ticket
brokers had failed to account for taxes
on excess charges on theater tickets. In
vestigation of any such cases will be rigid.
But the whole field will be looked over.
including excise taxes on manufacturers
sales, transportation taxes, the luxury
tax and taxes on toilet goods. proprietary
medicines and soft drinks. Where DELHI
crate evasion is evident, penalties will fol-
low Where mistakes are coupled with
honest intent. leniency will be shown. The
campaign is for education as well as col
lection. 1t is to the credit of the smaller
communities that they are comparatively
free from the suspicion of even uninten-
tional delinquency in bearing their share
.of the government burden, but before the
tax campaign opens it would be well for
every business man to reassure himself
that this angle of his business is in order.

DR.. HARRICAN'S
ADVICE TO THIN,
NERVOUS PEOPLE

It's worth your while to read what a
New York specialist has to say about the
nerve and brain cell builder that the Brat
tleborO Drug Co. and other leading drug
gists sell so much of these days. He
writes:
Let those who are weak, thin, nervous,
anaemic or rundown, take natural IN
adulterated substances such as Bitro-
Phosphate and you viii soon see some as
tonishing results in the increase of nerve
energy and strength of body and mind
Bitro-Phosphate is a pure organic phOs-
phate such as good physicians prescribe
to increase weight and create abundant
nerve rce-Advertisement.

The MeddIer
"If the coat fits you. put 1t on"

The Meddler commented briefly last
week on the back-to- BrattlebOrO move
ment among former residents who went
away during the hectic days of the war
boom. That movement, by the way, ap-
pears to continue undated. and as it
continues the local housing situation be-
comes more and more difficult. Tene-
ments are about as difficult to find in
Brattleboro today as they are easy to find
in Greenfield and other Debated indus
trial centerS where rents are still high
i'm comparison to what local landlords
are getting There is no indication ef re
lief for the local situation until new
houses are built. and when one stops to
think of it, when is there going to be any
better time to build them than now?
..-
What. now! With prices where they
are today?" some conservative person ex-
claims in answer to the foregoing ques-
ton. Well, what about prices. anyway
Are they so tremendously high at the
present time that they are likely to 60
much lower? 1t is extremely doubtful. at
least as far as local conditions are con
cerned Take lumber. for example: 1t
may drop still further in price but it al
ready has come down approximately sc
per cent from the peak of a year ago
Hardware is appreciably lower irF most
all lines. As to wire and wiring materi-
ais The Meddler quotes from a current
local advertisement to the effect that
they are lower in price than they have
been in many years" 1t is also true. as
the same advertisement says, that labor
prices here never reached the top-notch
figures touched in other places, and there
is plenty of it to be obtained.
Everything considered, it would seem
fair to assume that the present dullness
in local building operations was due more
to the state of mind of the public than
to anything else. There is. and will
doubtless continue to be- steady demand
for tenements in Brattleboro. and The
AIeddler honestly believes that present
material and labor prices are such that
prospective builders would have no diff

alone. if the increase of his wealth for
the last ten years were turned into cash,
could far more than pay every dollar the
nation owes.
This fact may serve as a little bracer
for the man who feels that the country
is going to the bow-wows just because
his business is dull now. National ex-
penses do come hard at present, and need
cutting down; but the burden left by the
war is, after all. a mere trifle compared

At the inquest into the fatal shooting
of Doris Kennett, 10-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Homer Kenneth of Mont
gomery Center, it was established that
the little girl did not have a very happy
home life and that last April the select
men of Montgomery had reported that
the girl had been away from home two
consecutive nights. The investigation
showed, according to the states attorney,
that the girl had received sharp punish
ment from her father, and Kenneth was
made to give his promise that he would
not again punish her. 1t also seems that
last Saturday night the little girl tried
to run away from home, and that the
father brought her back and whipped her

In spite of all the agitation concerning
the plight of the disabled service men,
it seems almost impossible to bring con-
gress to the point of passing effective
legislation in their behalf. Inasmuch as
nearly three years have passed since
fighting stopped on the field of battle, it
is about time that it stopped over relief
measures in congress. The greatest
need at the present time is for the assem-
bling of all governmental relief agencies
under a single, efficient, accessible head.
The Sweet bill provides for such organ
ization. 1t has been passed by the house,
but is now subject to the usual senator
ial haggling. There is no need of any
further solemn investigation of abuses
and neglect in general. 1t is definitely
known that they exist. What is needed
now is machinery for the prompt inyes-
tigation of individual claims and their
swift adjustment. The Sweet bill pro
vidcs such machinery. Why is it not
passed?
