ELIZA, New York.
ST suffered with Eczema in my face

CUTTING STATE TAXES.

The prediction by the state auditor
that direct state tax of one dollar will
be necessary for the fiscal year of 1928
brings the matter of state expenses Wv
idly before the people; and has brought
out some timely suggestions for curbing
them.
-~Phe effort of Town Clerk Braley of
st. Johnsbury to have each town meet
ing adopt a resolution instructing its
representatives. in the legislature to re-
duce expenses until a direct state tax
mended. 1t will tend to discourage spe-
eial appropriations for purely local In
terests. But that viii not be sufficient /;
regular expenses must be reduced if we
are TO escape a direct state tax.
The Burlington Free Press suggests
that ten per cent reduction in salaries
Of all state officers and employees be
made claiming it would reduce expenses
about 100000 year. That is good
but not sufficient; great deal more
than 100000 must be saved to escape
the direct state tax :
The suggestion of F. f. Barber that
no special appropriations be made until
the regular budget bin is passed has
some merit. Just how much it would
reduce expenses is problematical be-
cause the last legislature, of which Mr..
Barber was a member, knew the regular
budget bill would be large before it voted
any special appropriations The next
legislature is likely to do the same.
There are, however, great possibilities in
the curbing of special appropriations as
the following list of those made by the
last legislature shows:

The report further states that much of
the liquor is sold to outsiders, who come

all the liquor sold in Montreal is pur-
chased by people from the states.

Whether that bird on the new silver

that Miss Liberty, on the other side OF

of one of these free clinics for the re-
