INTANGIBLE TAX
BILL DISCUSSED
Plan to Assess Securities at 10 Per Cent
of Income Favored by Some;
Opposed BY Others.
Especial to The Reformer.l

MONTPELIER, March o
In the course of a hearing on the in.
tangible tax bill (H-293) in the house
chamber yesterday afternoon, it deyel
oped that the salary tax features of the
bill would probably be stricken bv the
committee, leaving the bill as a straight
attempt to tax intangible property al
ten per cent on the income.
Tax Commissioner Melvin G.. Morse
explained the purpose OF the bill and
called attention to the present fiat rate
on intangibles, which, he said, tended
to operate as a hardship in taxing five
per cent or eight per cent incomes AT
the same rate. The proposed bill he
thought, would bring in more revenue
than the present method of passing the
hat and permitting the holders of intan-
gibles to pay what they saw fit to re-
port.
This, the commissioner urged. would
relieve bank stock to some degree. which
is now over-taxed, and also tend to re.
duce the taxes on real and personal
property. Admitting that the bill was
secondary or double taxation, the com
missioner thought it would tend to per
NIT holders of intangibles to make out
an honest list without being subject tC
a conhscatory tax.
Judge II. ID. Ryder of Bellows Falls
Representative Cushman of Rochester
Harry Daniels of Montpelier and Others
Judge Ryder agreed that the bill was
somewhat complicated. He thought il
was a poor time to try any new tau
methods. but recommended that the
state wait and see what the fedora
government does toward adjusting tn,
income tax.
H. II. Comings of Richford agreed will
the commissioner and though the bill
was a step in the right direction, as die
Chauncey w. Brownen of Burlington
who declared that many taxpayer
would report intangibles and pay ter
per cent on the income who cannot dC
so now without losing fifty per cent o.
T. Fl. Deavitt and Frank NJ. Cory o.
Montpelier opposed the bill, which
they said, Disseminated between tn,
corporation and the individual and JOIN
Branch of st. Adams suggested that j
would result in borrowers who nov
get money at five per cent, tax free, pay
ing an extra one per cent in interest.
J. Gregory Smith of st. Adams oh
jected to the bill, which he declared in
troduced a new doctrine of taxation in
to Vermont He cited the result of tn
federal income tax, which now hang
american industry" He feared tina
the measure would be an opening wedg
IN Vermont that would permit extrava
gance, inequities and injustices in tax
alton.
This measure" said Mr. Smith, put
premium on Indulgence and penalt.
on progress A modification of the pres
ent fiat rate would be much more SAT-
and desirable
Frank NJ. Cory called it a Socialist
measure and intimated that it was
mere attempt to embody some of tn
commissioner theories into law.
The governor vetoed this sort of
bill in 1910" said Mr.. Cory, land
think he did a good job"

FORMER KEENE MAYOR.
Austin A. Ellis, Long Time Manufac
turer, Dead at 73.

KEENE, n. H., March 9-Hon. Austin
A. Ellis, former mayor, died yesterday
in his I'D year. He was a manufac-
turer of brush handles in this city for
many years.
Mr.. Ellis was born in Sullivan June
II, l84S. He began his business career
there in the lumber manufacturing in
dustry. At the age of 81 he purchased
the woodworking industry from his
father and grandfather and continued
it until 1891. when he moved to this
city and commenced the manufacture
of brush handles. He sold his business
a few years ago when his health failed.
In 1897 and 1893 Mr. Ellis was a mem
Der of the common council and in 1899

SWANTON TO HAVE
AUTO TRUCK CO.
Troy, n. v, Concern Buys Former Rem
ingtOn Arms Co. Plant in
That Town.

SWANTON, March 9.-The plant of
the Remington Arms Co, Inc, which since
the war has been idle. has been sold to
the Gem Auto Truck Co. of Troy, n. Y,
according to news received here by G. A.
Bradley, local agent of the Remington
company, from the New York Office. I'm
mediate possession of the plant with all its
contents will be taken and manufacture
of automobile parts will be started as soon
as the machine tool department can be
put into shape.
1t is expected that between 200 and 800
hands will be employed when once the
business gets under way and more will be
added from time to time should the
growth of the business warrant it.
Excellent buildings and location and
adequate gas and electric power, which
figured in the transaction, give opportun-
ity for development and enlargement of
the concern. The Gem automobile truck
is a light machine designed for store, laun-
dry and. other light work and is of 1000
pounds capacity. The purchase of the
Remington plant grew out of the made
quacy of the Troy factory where business
has been growing rapidly.
The Gem company has developed large
export trade and the fact that Swanton
is on the direct route to Montreal and
transportation facilities are adequate is
one of the factors entering largely into
the deal. The assembling plant, it is
understood, will still continue to be main
tanned at Troy.
The Remington Arms Co. early in the
World war purchased the old Robin Hood
Co. and employed many hundreds of
hands. Heavy foreign contracts made
business boom during the hostilities and
the consequent prosperity was reflected in
this town. The armistice brought a
change and soon the Remington company
closed the plant. Consequently many
people left Swanton. The present plan
for new industry here is looked upon
optimistically by the citizens who hope
once more to see the village the seat of a
thriving concern. Monday evening after
the news of the sale was made public the
town held a lively celebration.

OPPOSE WOMEN UsHERs.
Fire Chiefs Say They Lack Judgment i'm
Emergencies.


CHICAGO. March 9.-Women usheEs
in theatres lack judgment in times OF
emergency, and this is not conducive to
public safety. according to So per cent
of the city fire marshals of the country,
who have replied to a QUESTIONABLE sent
out by Alderman J. o. Kostner, chair
man of the citys council buildings COM
mittee.
Not one of the answers favored women
as ushers in theatres, the other - per
cent being indirect.
Women would not be of any value in
case of trouble with a crowd" wrote
John McNarrey, the Kansas City fire
chief. Edward Grenfel of Portland, Ore,
answered that linen ushers were safer.
Simon J. Fennel of Rochester, \. Y.
wrote: Il do not think women show as
good judgment as men ushers. nor are
they as reliable in case of an emery
ency."

The figures for domestic animals in 1910
are not very closely comparable with
those for 1920, since the present census
was taken in January, before the breeding
season had begun, while the 1910 census
was taken in April, or about the middle
of the breeding season, and included many
spring calves, colts, etc.

taken its flight. His small building
was replaced with a larger and better
building in which were handled a
complete line of goods. Frank Sickle
became a necessary factor in the
business OF saving money for the
neighborhood in the line Of general
merchandise.
Lizzie Meyer Mills seemed to be
the belle of the neighborhood. She
was tall and graceful and womanly.
Some OF the young people had said
that she was a little tickle in dispo-
sition. Fickleness OF disposition is
generally considered a characteristic
OF the belle of community; there
fore some had tried to make them
selves believe that Lizzie was tickle.
The facts are. the right fellow had
never come along; and she was SEN
sible enough to hold her affections
in reserve until the right man ap-
peared. However she was beginning
TO awaken TO the fact that she had
arrived at the age when the likes and
dislikes OF her heart would likely be-
come chronic: and these likes and
dlslikes would be reflected in her
friends and would influence her ife
either for good or i'll. She was think
ing about the future. and was arriv-
ing at conclusions which she be-
believed would be conducive of her
future happiness.
