ArIington-Wardsboro Road
Bloomington Bannerl


The highway from Arlington to West
WardSboro by way of Sunderland and
Stratton which has been undergoing re-
pairs Is now open for travel. Here is
perhaps the longest section of road in
Vermont in the unbroken Wilderness. For
twenty miles. practically, there isn'nt a
regularly occupied house or a cultivated
farm. 1t is the highest and Steepest pass
by which automobiles can cross the Green
Mountains. The gorge from below the
Forks to the Kelley Stand is one of the
deepest and most spectacular canyons
outside of moving pictures. 1t isn't a
good place to go during rainy spell but,
for the next two months. while the roads
are dry and hard, this trip is one of the
finest in Vermont. The road is rough.
steep, narrow and dangerous. 1t is no
place for mollycoddle driver. but no
one-with a fair amount of skill and eau
tion need hesitate. Any car. in good
working order will make the trip and it
is well worth making. For a hundred
mile circle in the forests of Vermont q
fine Sunday or holiday trip is from Ben
nmgtOn to East Arlington by way of the
East road to Maple hill; East Airing
ton to West WardSboro, via the Kelley
Stand; West Wardsbor0 to West Dover !:
West Dover to Wilmington Wilmington
to bennington. Distance, IS miles and
il would seem more. but for a lover of
mountains and woods and brooks and
nature as God made it. there is nothing
like it in Vermont There are sites by
the score for picnic dinners and good
hotels at Arlington, West Wardsboro and
Wilmington.

Corporation Taxes.
WASHINGTON, July .26.-Plans for
building a new tax law took more
definite form yesterday as preparations
were completed for the actual beginning
today of revision of the revenue laws by
the house ways and means committee.
President Harding heard details of
what house leaders proposed to do from
Chairman Fordney of the committee, dur
ing the day and information leaked out
indicating that the three-cents postage
stamp might be resorted to as a revenue
producer.
The suggestion will be taken up with
the postofice department before any fur
Their moves are made, however, it was
stated.
In the search for methods of raising
a round four billion dollars a year, mem
bers of the committee were declared to
have talked also of stamp tax on bank
checks but was understood to have been
frOwned on by the treasury.
Other stamp tax proposals may get
some consideration in the committee but
members said candidly they feared the
reaction from them.
Mr.. Mellon, it was said, had told the
committee that he was opposed to the
use of any kind of sales tax to supplaut
the excess profits levy which it is CON
coded. viii be abandoned. He was rep
resented as being favorable to a fiat tax
on corporations, believing that such
tax would offset losses due to the CON
templated repeal of the profits and some
minor assessments.
Committee leaders declared they be
lieved the corporation tax would take the
form of u per cent levy on incomes, with
the Exemption of $1,000, now in effect,
abolished. Representative Longworth,
Republican, of Ohio, who has a bill max
ing such provisions said the corporation
tax would yield around half billion dol
lars year. Mr.. Longworth's bill also
would rednce the higher surfaces on in
comes, and his plan in this respect was
said TO have the treasury secretary's APP

Tax Judgment Against
Rockefeller Recorded
Levy of $292,678 Additional
ON Income Based on Differ
ence i'm Stock Values

An order signed by Judge Learned
Hand awarding to the government final
Judgment in full for $292,678.78, with
interest at per cent from June 30,
1916, and costs, against John D. Rookie
feller, was filed in Federal District
Court yesterday by United States At
torney Hayward. The judgment re-
suited from the decision that the
defendants holdings IN two pipe line
companies were income and subject TO
tax.
The suit to recover additional tax was
brought December 20, 1920 1t was
alleged by the government that Mr..
Rockefeller had omitted from his re-
turn for 1915 the income received from
50,104 shares of stock of the Illinois
Pipe Line Company and 67,176 shares
of the Prairie Pipe Line Company.
The error was called to Mr.. Rookie
feller's attention and he paid the
amount due. The government then filed
action to compel him to pay tax on
the difference between the market
value of the stocks at the time they
were issued to him and their par value.
