TAXATION BIG QUESTION
"The big national question accord
ing to the survey is taxation, with
peace settlement and international
trade conditions next. Taxation is
uppermost in the minds of the aver
age man. The country is opposed to
the present tax system and is becom-
ing increasingly impatient for a
change.
I'm Its reflection of the attitude
of business men generally toward the
highly technical questions OF tariff
and other forms of raising revenue,
the survey has perhaps it's greatest
Significance to me. 1t indicates that
as a whole we are talking OF legis-
lative and other mems of stimulating
the return TO normal conditions with
out clearly understanding the the
fundamental economic questions in
yolyed-without accurately defining
the terms used. It may be doubted
whether those who answered tht
questions concerning tariff and do
nestle taxation had an opportunity
to give the subjects the requisite in

TO moro balanced agriculture.
The reports from some gricultur-
al sections OF farm labor shortage al
so may need Interpretation. In not
few cases report of a shortage
may mean that the employers cannot
gct labor al their own price; and It
Is significant that outside of the far
ming communities in the Industrial
section the reasons assigned for the
cDorted acreage reductions are low
y ices on farm products, rather than
shortage OF money.
"A demand for farms by renters Is
observed in Illinois. Kansas, Mis-
ouri, Nebraska and in the South At
intic and Pacific states. Western
md southern farmers are reported TO
oc withholding payment of bills and
the condition Of the cattle and sheep
raisers in Kansas. Nebraska and the
Rocky Mountain districts, where
there is a congestion in wool, is re-
ported to be poor.
Nowhere Is there noticeable
movement of men to the farms from
the industrial centers. But this Is
not abnormal or necessarily undesir-
able. After all farming must pay
and In the long run there will be as
many engaged in farming as will pro
duce the commodities which the con-
sumlng public will buy at a profit
able price.
"The housing shortage leads as
the most important local question in
the hundreds of communities covered
by the Fidelity and Deposit Com
pany's reports. Unemployment Is
second and taxation third. Sections
which report noticeable increase in
crime since last September are the
middle west. Rocky Mountain and
Pacific coast states.

CREDIT SITUATION BETTER

1.-The credit situation Is improved.
Enterest rates range from to 8 per
cent for the country as a whole. But
banking funds are reported avail
able by every section except the south
and Rocky Mountain regions. II
should be noted in this connection
that federal reserve banks in the
south and west have practically
ceased rediscounting with banks in
The northeast. Corporate balances
everywhere are reported to have de-
creased and this is one Of the unfav'
-orable aspects Of the present sitna-
ton. Yet Il can be partly explain

Now let's 90 back a little. The
Natatorium proposition certainly
was not new 20 the council. Be
tween two and three years ago the
common council, strongly favoring a
Natatorium project, voted 10 the
Park board a sum OF money 70 be
taken out OF the general fund II
happened that the money was not
then in the fund. and IL could not
therefore, be turned over 10 the Park
board. That was the time when
prices were rising rapidly. Later the
council voted the board $4,000 in
bonds. for the same purpose but the
notorious state tax commission held
them up. because they were signaled
20 do so, not by the properly elected
authorities, but by way Of certain
underground means. This was ad-
uitted by Mr.. Fred I. Sims at a
meeting az the Y. NJ. c. A. some time
later. in reply 10 a question thereto
from Mr.. Erskine. The plea OF the
Tribune at that time was that the
board should wait until next year.
But by that time the costs had
mounted $4,000 higher. Now. prices

ment and other materials, as well as
labor. have dropped again, but the
Tribune still says wait. Till when

SwyEart's Judgment Not Sought.
Now for a moment we viii take
UP the argument Of Mr.. Swygart He
complains that his judgment was
not sought. That's right. Il wasn't.
Mr.. Swygart is reported 10 have
said that II the Park board thinks IL

knows better than that He knows
that after the city council has passed
the ordinance. and the money is in
the treasury, he has no further jun
isdiction and nothing further 10 do
but 70 transfer the money and pay
the bills. HIS statement that the
Park board last year received some
$4,000 is technically correct, but
gives a very wrong impression. The
actual amount the board received
was about $4,000. The difference
was voted 70 II by the city council

FIRE AT ST. JoHNsBURY cENTEI
Daniel p. Coveny's Property Wiped
Out, Loss $4,000.

st. Johnsbury, Dec. 2.-Firc of un-
known origin completely destroyed the
home of Daniel p. Coveny at st. Johns
bury Center, Wednesday evening. IL is
understood the fire broke out in the
barn, attached to the rear of the house.
Inadequate fire protection resulted in
the total destruction OF the building in
spite of the determined efforts of Fire
Chief Robert Johnston and his fire
fighting force to save the structure
There were two tenements in the
building to which was attached a store
house and barn. At the time of the FIRE
the building was occupied by Daniel
Coyeny and his housekeepcr, Mrs.
Elizabeth Steele.
The loss from fire has been estimated
at 5000, practically covered by in
surance. Mr.. Coveny has occupied the
house since sometime last summer
when he purchased 1t from Daniel
Woodruff. The building was con-
structed partly from the old Sunset
Home for aged ladies. A portion of the
material was used in the building of
the house which was destroyed Wednes-
day. evening by fire. The Coveny home
was well finished throughout and had
all modern improvements. A consider
able part of the furniture was saved.

Ida Mae Hall.

Ida Mae Hall. daughter Of the lat.
George Hall and Mrs. Jennie Hall o
Topsham, passed from this life abou
10 o'clock in the evening of Oct. 80
1921, being "a years, two months an,
II days of age. Ten years ago thii
fall her eyes began TO fail; ther'
seemed to be some sort Of formation
growing back of one OF them. Sh,
was first taken to Hanover, and after
wards TO Burlington hospitals fol
treatment, resulting in the removal o.
the affected eve. Inflammation seized
upon the other. and in a short time
the sight was gone, and she was to
tally blind. As time passed the mys
FERROUS disease something unlike any
thing known to the records OF medi.
cal practitioners wrought steadily to
the Disagreement of her once beauti.
full countenance. In this condition
was passed nine remaining years OF
life. Yet in all the time no word of
complaint was ever heard 10 pass her
lips.
Ida Mae was young lady of more
than average intelligence, and of ami
able disposition. The bearing of her
afflietion with Christian fortitude de-
veloped in her a spiritual character Of
the finest type. II seemed to those in
contact with her that she belonged
not TO this world OF sin and selfishness.
but to that kingdom which is Of
Heaven.
She was a lover of good books, and
during the years Of her confinement
upwards of 200 volumes were read to
her, besides the Bible every day. Mean
while, through the greater part of the
nine sightless years her hands were
busy knitting articles useful and beau
tiful, many of which were bestowed
upon friends near and far, a scuve-
Mrs and tokens of loving regard. Her
fine example and influence impaired a
lesson, and produced an impression in
the home and throughout the commu-
nifty which can never be lost. We shall
all be nobler and clearer in our con-
ception Of life's true ideals because
