Our SUNDAY Laws.

tSt. Adams Messenger
Speaking before the Mems club of
Bethany church in Montpelier Senator
Durham of Brattleboro i credited with
having sounded the note on more lib
eral Sunday laws" He advocated on
the part of the people a study of the
Sunday laws in other states and referred
to Maine where no blue laws exist and
where the workingmen are allowed rec
reation of a nature that does not conflict
with the devotiOnS of others"
From this the Messenger would Judge
that some effort toward liberaliziug our
present rigid Sunday laws is To be made
and that possibly Senator Durham will
be connected with the movement If so
it will be well. for the Windham county
senator is a Christian gentleman of the
finest type and would not give his sane
ton TO any measure that would open
the gates for anything in the slightest
degree resembling the Continental Sun
day.
Anyone who looks the matter squarely
in the face must recognize that some
change of statutes on Sunday observance
il necessary here in Vermont. The peo-
pie simply will not live up to the pres
ent laws. They have no respect for
them. Disregard for one set of statutes
tends to bring all law into disreputc. Ii
Is only good sense then. to have SUNDAY
laws which appeal to the average good
sense OF the electorate. These laws
should not reflect the Straight-laced prin-
cipIeS OF the ultra-religiouS nor those OF
the non-religiouS. They should be such
as the ordinary decent-living man and
woman can respect.

Automobile Registration.


Judging by the number of prosecutions
already carried out in various parts of the
state, the secretary of state department.
which has charge of automobile regula-
TONS, is carrying out a policy of strict en-
iorcement OF the law regarding the regis
tratlon of motor vehicles. Many drivers
OF motor vehicles have been arrested and
hned for operating their cars under 1920
registration. This feature of the law
must. of course, be upheld in January lust
as much as in July. lest the whole law
tall into disrepute; and the owners or
drivers of motor vehicles might as we'll
understand that the state department at
Montpelier means business when it saws
that cars must not be operated in 1927
under 1920 registration. Many persons
could save themselves considerable trouble
and bad standing in the secretary of
state office by registering for 1927 or by
keeping their vehicles inside until they
are prepared to meet the requirements OF
the law.

State Forester w. G.. Hastings in his
biennial report makes some meritorious
suggestions regarding the taxation of
forest lands and timber in Vermont
First he shows that the present system of
taxing forest land and the growing tim
Der on it at its actual value makes tim
Der growing improbable because the
taxes at four per cent compound inter
est amount to more than the value Of
the timber. He states that any timber
in Vermont 100 years old or over has
cost more in taxes than the stumpage is
worth. In addition to this is the pur-
chase price as an increased loss in the
business. He states that a crop of tim
Der should not be taxed 80 or more times
any more than any other crop.
To remedy the situation he recon-
mends the enactment of n law setting
aside lands we'll stocked with forest
trees as forest land. He would have all
timber on such lands classified as imma-
ture. mature and oyer-mature stands.
ANY timber once classed as immature
must be classed as mature for a period
of not less than four years and not more
than u years before it can be classified
as over-mature, this being the period
allowed the owner to harvest his timber
before it can be assessed for purposes of
taxation.
Forest lands are to be taxed annually
on the valuation of the land alone based
on its power to grow timber and no taxes
are to be assessed upon the immature OF
mature stands of timber on them. Over.
mature stands are to be taxed annually
as personal property on their full stump
age value. Mr.. HastingS's suggestion is
that no forest land shall be set in the
list at more than SO or less than Sc
per acre and no other class of land cap
able of producing forest growth shall b.
given a lower valuation than forest land
The system is designed to make it pro
fitable to grow timber on the waste Of
partially waste lands of the state anC
change them from unproductive TO pro
ductive areas. If the owner should at
tempt to hoard stand of Over-matur
timber the taxation of the full stump
age value of such timber would make i
Improbable. The purpose seems com
mendable and practical. The valua
ton of the land, however, would seem to-
high. There is little forest land tina
could pay annual taxes ON a valua
ton Of so an acre and considerable LAM
that Is not worth 50 an acre for an!
purpose. Undoubtedly the legislature, i
it acts upon this matter, would reduce
these limits and make the law even NOR,
equitable than the state forester's sug
gestiOns do.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-01-19

must include a very large part of the
unemployed.
Certainly under these circumstances,
if it is your desire to aid them. and l
know it must be, your views on the sub
ject of further restriction of immigration
cannot in fact differ radically from my
own.
That sound policy from the stand
point of America requires further linn
itation than at present l have no
doubt
That seems to leave little to be said.
1t is natural for foreign born residents
TO want to bring their relatives to this
country, and some concessions must
doubtless be made to that desire. But
limits must be drawn, and the volume
Of immigration must be kept down, for
the welfare of these fOreign-born people
themselves as much as for that of ma
tive citizens. Their own feeling about the
matter cannot be fully trusted, and their
mistaken protests will have to be dis,
regarded, if America is to be kept a
land of opportunity.
