Taxation Reform
(Rutland Herald. J


The Herald is glad that the state fed
GRAFTON of Farm Bureaus is making a
study of taxation, but after the study is
finished and the commission is ready TO
report findings. the next thing is to get
the fundamental weakness. Of our .sys-
tenn fixed up@H
This weakness is inequality, as the
state tax works out between the various
towns and the state. An example of
what is happening all over Vermont is
pointed out in The Brattleboro Re-
former thus:
The shrinkage of S3.410.5S in Brat
tleboro's grand list means that this
towns contribution toward the support
| of the state government will be S1.S75. 81
! less than it would have been had there
| been no change in valuation from last
year. This is figuring the direct state
| tax of 40 cents. the state school tax ot
| 10 cents and the state highway tax o.
/ five cents-a total of % cents. Ever
/ with this saving, however, the amount
/ is considerable one-S41 1880, to bi
/ exact-and it is safe to say that Bur
! lington and Rutland viii be the only
| places to make larger contributions"
| When this is followed by wha
amounts to suggestion that the listers
/ go easy" in boosting lists during tn
/ quadrennial appraisal we thus come fac,
/
| problem, which works out usually into
how the various towns can raise theil
necessary revenue on as small a grand
! list as possible, in order to keep tbs
state tax down.
This condition puts premium on dis
/ honest lists and official perjury. Brat
| tleboro, Burlington and Rutland may b.
F! less offenders in this respect than othel
| towns. but there is probably not CRANE
/ list in Vermont made up in strict &C
| cordance with law.
The method should either be revised
so that a certain percentage of the tal
raised, not the grand list, is made thu
basis of the state tax levy. or some state
/ tribunal ought to have authority to re
/ wise town grand lists.
Now that the state tax has reached {
| figure of Importance, the motive for un
/ der-valuing property in town grand list!
| Is well-nigh irresistible, and unless th'
| strong hand of the state is put forth t.
! correct it, the next tax lists of Vermont
/ will be fearfully and wonderfully faxed
This is a fundamental condition tha
! Mr.. CORVALLIS commission, or whateyel
he calls it, might very well consider at
the foundation of all taxation reform fo1
| Vermont.

THE SHIP SUBSIDY CAMPAIGN

The decfsIon of the administration to
submit the ship subsidy question to the
public for guidance, instead of trying 20
jam as much as it does to congress. The
subject is a big and complex one, on
which most people are not very well in
formed. A campaign of enlightenment
is highly desirable.
Here is a huge merchant fleet, built at
a cost of $4,000, OO0. 900, mostly lying idle
and losing money for the government at
the rate of $5O,O00,000 a year aside from
depreciation. 1t is well said by the
President that that annual $50,000,000
sunk in the fleet constitutes in itself a
subsidy paid by the American people.
The question then is whether it can be
eliminated by the payment of frank
direct subsidy, costing less to begin with
at least.
The matter is not so simple as that
however. There is natural fear, on the
part of the anti-subsidists, that any sub
sidy once granted would be merely al
opening wedge, and that eventually there
might be hundreds of millions spent il
pursuance of this new policy.
Taxpayers may be persuaded to re
wise their old prejudices and uphold ;
subsidy but before they do so, it will b,
necessary to convince them that there i
no other way to save the fleet and put j
on a paving basis. and that the benefit
in the long run will be worth the cost.

A JURY SYSTEM DEFECT

A celebrated case in Chicago calls at
tention to an admitted defect in the
American jury system. The half-mil-
lion-dollar suit of Mayor Thompson
against the Chicago Tribune is thrown
out of court after a seven weeks trial
because two jurors became physically
jncapable Of discharging their duty.
1t would be legal enough to have the
case decided by 10 jurors, provided both
parties agreed. Mayor Thompson's coun-
sci. however. after agreeing to IL jurors
objected when the second juror dropped
out. So the trial has to start all over
again, and without any assurance that
the same trouble Will not recur.
1t is pointed out that a plan adopted
in California gives at least partial in
surance against such a fiasco. For every
trial - jurors are chosen, and all o
them hear the evidence. Then, if one be
comes incapacitated, there are II left t.
decide the case. For more adequate in
surance in big cases, there might be tw'
extra jurors.
Another possible remedy would be tn,
adoption of the majority principle il
jury verdicts, so that valid verde
might be rendered by five-sixths, three
fourths or some other fraction of tn,
usual number. The Importance of ont
or two jurors then would be so great!
reduced as to make their absence of lit
tie consequence. This majority principle
has made considerable Roadway already
