acted into law in the form of the new IN
ternal revenue tax bill which was signed
by President Harding Wednesday night
The railroad provisions of the bill 90 into
effect on Jan. l, next. The tax IN freight
rates was per cent.
The transportation tax, which has been
in effect since early in 1918, has nctted
the government approximately $3.50. 000,-
600 annually. and its repeal simply means
a reduction of s per cent in passenger
rates and 3 per cent in freight rates for
the patrons of every railroad. No ben
eft, of course, has ever accrued to the
rail arrangements because of this added
counting had to be made Immediately to
the government by every carrier.
The saving of S0.OOO,0OO in passenger
fares for 1922 is computed on the basis
of passenger revenues totalling approx
mately I,OOOO0O,OOO for all the rail-
ways. If the passenger revenues of the
New York Central for the first six months
of 1921 are doubled and the result taken
as a fair approximation of what the road
might expect next year in this form of in
come, the patrons of the road will save
approximately 100000 by the elimina-
ton of the s per cent which was charged
to travellers as a government tax. Pro-
jecting this hypothesis to shippers, the
saving in freight rates for New York
Central patrons would be. in round num-
bers. Sj,O0O,0OO annually. The Pennsyl-
vania company's passengers will save on
this basis, $4,000, 900 annually, and ship
pers will save S12,OOO,OOO Lehigh Val
ley's patrons will save approximately
$500, 900 annually in passenger fares and
81 500 900 in freight bills.

useful invention is the line-car-
rying buoy. Its inventor sought to
devise some means of getting a line
from ship to shore, and the line-car-
rying buoy was the result. When re-
leased from the snip. if the wind is
in the right direction, it blows stead
lily toward the shore, the line unwind
ing behind it as it goes, until finally
the buoy is dragged out of the surf
with the line intact. In addition to
its use in this manner, it is available
for all the regular purposes of the
ordinary buoy.

One statement in the Crockett history
of Vermont of especial interest to Brat
tleboreans is that John Sargent, generally
supposed to have been the first white child
born in Vermont and whose body lies in
Locust Ridge cemetery on the Putney
road, is not after all eligible to that honor
according to the records available. The
first recorded birth is that of Timothy
Dwight son of Timothy Dwight, builder
and first commandant of Fort Drummer, in
1926. This Timothy Dwight. I'd, mar
ried Mary, daughter of Johnathan Ed
wards, the famous theologian and three
of his descendants became presidents of
Yale college.

More Road Argument.
Remington Ranner.l

The advocates of bonding the state for
road building seem fond of accusing those
who don't agree with them of not being in
favor of hard surface roads. As a mat
ter of truth, there is probably no one in
Vermont who isn't in favor of hard sur
face roads. The opponents of bonding be-
lieve, however, that we should get hard
surface roads faster by paying as we go
along instead of spending a big share of
the road money to pay interest on bonds.

Devon's Big Hackney Show.

Entries Will close on Wednesday 70 :
the first important outdoor horse show
OF the year. and II is due from breeders
owners and others who have the welfare
Of the hackney at heart to leave no stone
unturned in securing for Devon strong
representation of the breed, both in har-
ness and In hand. Probably no other
horse show in America and few In Eng
land ever paved the way for such an
exhibition OF the breed as there wiz be
st the outdoor national this year 10
exhibitors meet the management half
way. The prize lists disclose no less
than cighty-two classes for hackneys or
harness horses and ponies. which nova
days mean the same thing To justify the
continuance OF such n classification as
this the management must be backed up
~ breeders. owners and all concerned.
Well filled classes at the horse shows are
the very best form OF missionary work
2 breed can have. hence self-interest as
Wen az sportsmanship and a proper ap-
rrcciation of Devon's most liberal COOP
Grafton should prompt every breeder IN
the country TO support the coming SHOVE
