Elsenach, and brought together dele

934,O43 members. The business of
the German co-operatives now sur
passes the enormous figure of five
billion marks a year. Although this
huge total is in part due to the low
value of the mark, the large in
creases in quantity of goods handled,
apart from value, shows the rapidly
growing power of cooperation in
Germany. During the year 1921. 1855

NEW METHODS TO ENFORCE
PROHIBITION PROPOSED
IN DIRECTORS MEETINGS
Numerous References to the Eighteenth Amend
ment Will Be Eliminated by CartOonists,
Newspaper Writers and Others

Federal Prohibition Director Roy
c. Lyle, states that Commissioner
Haynes has instituted a series of
conferences of directors and other
enforcement officials in various sec
lions of the country to discuss num-
erous problems and map out plans
for solution, and a conference will
soon be held in this state. Several
held and matters of vital concern to
the public have been considered.
Among the problems on which ac-
ton will be taken is that of rubbing
compounds. which through bootleg
channels have caused many deaths.
Analyses of several hundred gallons
of seized product revealed quantities
of concentrated I've, an excessive
amount Of which remained in the
compound even after rehabilitation.

Act will be evoked agains cereal bev-
erage manufacturers who inject such
rubbing compounds into so-called
near-beer.'
Recent conferences have resulted in
recommendations that retail sales of
Jamaica ginger be limited to one
fluid ounce, and exposure of an al
legged German fake preparation re-
puted to produce wine, champagne
and brandy; also the successful sup
preston of a fraud to hoodwink the
public with so-called Canadian rye"
Directors have been instructed to
educate agents along the lines of
manufacture and transportation of
industrial Or denatured alcohol. The
men will be taught the difference in
varities of alcohol and it is be-
lieved that violations of this nature
will be greatly lessened.
A signal victory for enforcement

REAL ESTATE VALUATION.

The grand list books have been filed
in the town of BrattIeboro and the list
ers are in a peck of trouble lit appears
that they have lifted the valuation of
property some ten or twelve per cent and
everybody is mad about it. The listers
haven't a friend left and have to be
guarded by the police. The total raise
in valuation ON all the property in Brat
tlebOro is $3.50, 164, which probably isn't
One-quarter of the actual increase in
selling value during the past four years
since the last previous quadrennial ap-
pralsal was made. The new valuation of
property In Brattleboro in nearly all
cases is away below what the property
viii sell for at forced sale, yet the prop
erty holders kick vigorously because
the listers have taken one small step to-
ward obeying their oath of Office ito ap-
praise property at its actual value" The
new appraisal in Bennington is not vet
quite completed. The real estate valua-
ton here has been from fifteen to thirty
three per cent of actual sale value. Yet
we have no doubt that should the listers
make a ten or twelve per cent raise as
was done in Brattleboro the taxpayers
would perform much the same that they
are doing over there. Bennington has a
hVe-doIlaF tax rate on a twenty per cent
valuation. which some folks think saves
a few dollars in state taxes. but actually
IS one of those little tricks of humbug-
gerry which we use to humbug ourselves.
Bennington Banner,
The last part of the foregoing para
graph explains why Brattleboro property
owners complain about increased valua-
tions. The average valuation basis in
this town is from fifty to sixty per cent,
although in many cases it is much higher.
! In Bennington, on the admission of The
Banner. it is from fifteen to thirty three
per cent, and the inference is that the
Remington listers have no intention of
raising valuations this year. Can Brat
| tleboro people be blamed for disliking
to pay a state tax assessed on a sixty
per cent valuation when they are told
that Bennington pays its state tax on a
valuation ranging from fifteen to thirty
three per cent? As for Bennington peo-
pie humbugging themselves with a low
valuation and a high rate, The Reformer
isn't so sure about that. It looks much
more as if they were humbugging every
other town in which valuations are
somewhere nearly normal.
