PARISlANS PAY TAX
ON SERVANTS PIANOS

PARIS, Jan. 31.-This city has just
been authorized to collect higher tax
es on pianos and domestic servants.
For the privilege of being managed by
an autocratic cook or diplomatic
maid, Partisan families will now have
to pay 40 francs a year. If the serw-
ants are men the amount is doubled.
A sliding scale of 40 fracs for one
woman servant to 200 francs for five
of them and from 80 to 400 francs for
men servants is provided for in the
bill. No provision is made for families
having more than five servants. the
lawmaker probably holding this to be
sufficient tax on the family's patience.
Tutors and governesses are assessed
100 francs each.
The tax on pianos is to range from
80 to 60 francs. A mechanical piano
will cost it's owner the highest sum.

BIG RECOVERY
IN CORN CROP
Decline in Wheat and Oats, While PO-
tatOes and Tobacco Show
Increase,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Recovery
of the corn crop during August from
the serious damage sustained from July
weather con1itioIs& featured the Sep
temher grain report of the department
of agriculture issued yesterday. Fav-
ored with good growing temperatures and
pleutv of rain in practically the entire
corn belt. the production forecast made
a Jump of 154 100000 bushels, bringing
the increased production to 3.1S6, 900
bushels. or only 10000 600 bushels less
than last years crop, the largest ever
grown. With continued favorable con-
ditionS. this years production may yet
become n record crop. Indications are
that most of the crop is now out of dan
ger from frost.
The wheat crop showed a decline of
3O0O.0O bushels with a total of 7J4.-
OOC. 600 bushels indicated as this year 5
harvest. Oats will be a short crop this
wear the indicated production having de-
clined 47.000.000 bushels during August,
with a total crop of .090.00000O bushels
forecast. That is 436.000.00O bushels
smaller than last years crop and 343,-
600 600 bushels less than the average Tor
the five years previous to last wear
Potatoes showed an increase of 1000
OOG bushels over month ago with to-
tal Of 323 600. 900 bushels, but the crop
il almost 100,000.000 bushels smaller
| than last year and almost 50000,000
| bushels below the average of the five
years previous.
+ Tobacco production indications showed
an increase of 59,0G0.000 pounds over q
month ago. with a total of 94S, ,000,00C
pounds. The Improvement was confined
/ almost entirely to the northern tobacco
producing states. There were only minor
| changes in the indicated production OF
other crops

The Position of the Trustees.

Editor of The Reformer:
] have been asked to explain the atti-
tude of the trustees of the Thompson Fund
on the matter of expenditures In BrattIe-
bor0 for purposes other than for the sup
port of seamstresSes. nepdlewomen and
Sh9pgirls in temporary need in other
words, expenditures that come under the
kindred charities" clause of the will and
the recent decree.
Under the most recent court decree. it
will be remembered. the expenditure for
these general purposes is left wholly to
the discretion of the trustees and in using
that discretion they are bound TO do their
best to find what they consider the best
use. They prefer to make expenditure of
two-thirds of this surplus money in Brat
tleboro and adjoining regions. provided
such expenditure can be made an effective
use of the endowment.
whether this Is 50 or not does not in
their Judgment depend upon the trustees
alone. but upon whether the people of
BrattIeborO undertake and carry on effec-
lively real civic activities such as hospital
and nursing work, which the trustees can
help. The trustees do not believe money
/ from the Thompson Fund should be used
aS a substitute for civic work and finan-
cial support which a community without
such an endowment would have to provide
through some form of public enterprise
The fund must be made to ana and
strengthen such work of the people. not
used for independent and separate work of
its own.
They wish to state frankly that at the
| present time the situation is unsatisfac-
/ tory. This Is not the fault of anyone in
particular but rather the outgrowth of a
misunderstanding of the trustees position
and of the terms Of the trust
Too much has come to be expected from
! me Thompson Fund. Brattleboro people
IN general have honestly believed it was
their duty merely to watch the wheels 90

New Train Schedule
Must Be Convenient

In the face of figures showing rev.
enues to be far below operating costs
it will probably be difficult to ad-
vance conclusive. arguments against
the proposed train schedule curtaIl-
ments. but if BrattlebOro business IN
tereStS cannot prevent the cutting of
of trains they can at least make de-
termined effort to secure satisfactory
service from those that are left.
In considering the matter of service
as it affects Brattlebor0 and adjoining
towns the first question is that of
convenience for the large number of
people who make this town their
business center. 1t is of vital inter
est TO them. as well as to local busi-
ness concerns. that train service III
and out of Brattleboro Is so arranged
that they can leave home and reach
home at convenient hours.
The proposed schedule will not be
convenient for the many people who
come to BrattleborO from the south
for tie reason that it contemplates
no south-bound afternoon train be-
tween p. IN. and Is p. M, the Boston
& Maine proposing to discontinue
their 3.13 train and the Central Yer
mont to advance by two hours or so
the leaving time of the present 40
train. No train schedule should meet
with the approval OF Brattleboro that
does not provide an afternoon train
leaving for the south late enough to
give outside shoppers q good part of
the afternoon here and Yet get them
to their homes in Vernon. South Yer
non and NorthIield. Mass. by supper
time
As to the talk of making Brattle-
boro the terminus of the West River
branch instead of South London
derry. it is difficult to see how this
can be done without abandoning the
northbound late afternoon train. and
such a course of action would raise
d storm Of protest all along the line
No service on the West River road
would be considered anything like
adequate that did not provide u train
from South Londonderry to Brattle-
baro in the morning and a train from
BrattlebOrO to South Londonderry in
the late afternoon.

REFORMER SUGGESTS
GET-TOGETHER PLAN
Since Court Has Given
Trustees Right to Spend
the Surplus Where They
Please Town Should Co
operate with Them so
That Benefits of Fund
May Be Retained

The Reformer presents herewith
a letter from Richards NJ. Bradley
outlining the position of the trustees
of the Thompson Fund relative to the
expenditure of money in Brattleboro
under the kindred charities" clause
of the will and decree;
\ suggestion of its own for bring
ing townspeople and trustees together
to work out a mutually satisfactory
arrangement for such expenditure
For both it bespeaks a careful
reading, and consideration based on a
hope for future amity rather than
recollection Of past misunderstand-
ings.
