bennington Banner.)

The candidate who represents any
class or cult is always dangerous. He
may be honest, sincere and even bril-
liant that he takes his place in the
halls of power with his eye looking
always in one direction.
The writer of this article is sus-
pected of being candidate for gov
ernor. He is not at the present time
but might be next summer if there
seemed to be genuine wish that
he should serve. If he is, his plaat-
form will be chiefly this: "No extern
sion of paternalism and bureaucracy
in the state government and no ap-
prevail of bills which will add to the
tax burdens of the people of YER
mont"
For the cutting down of preesenent
appropriations and fixed charges the
state is entirely dependent on the leg
islature. The various towns have
this entirely in their own hands. They
can elect an economical legislature
or an extravagant one. The worst
they can do is to send a man with a
scheme for an appropriation to help
his own town. He may get it but If
he does he has to go into partnership
with every other raid on the state
treasury and it is partnership in
these raids, that make government so
expensive and is doubling taxes ev-
cry five or six years.

The recent going of Miss Mary
Wheeler, formerly of Irasburg and
Barton, to Georgia to famous
school for the education of the poor
mountain white children of the South,
reminds us that the county has lately
contributed several of its young peo-
pie similar work Miss Ina Paige
of Barton has recently gone to Mex
leo to teach Bible, a distinct case of
giving ones life for the betterment
of others. 1t will be recalled too
that the head of the Berry schools to
which Miss Wheeler as gone, is G.
Leland Green, a native of Coventry.
John Thorp, a West Glover boy, has
gone into the Christian ministry
within few years and Miss Lola
Sargent, Glover girl, is mission
airy in South Africa. Surely these
people, and there are probably other
young Orleans county people who
have gone into like work but are not
recalled at this moment, are doing a
work which shall give them great
reward, and a satisfaction which
comes only to those who do generous
ly for others.

How State Expenses Have Grown.

Income Tax Information.

The following statement is issued
by the collector of internal revenue,
r. w. McCuen, for the district of
Vermont.
The Revenue Act of 1921 contains
two new and important provisions
which are subject of frequent in
curry. The first relates to the per-
sonal exemptions allowed married
persons, and the second to the pro-
vision requiring that return be
made of gross income of $4,000 or
more.
The act provides that a married
person, living with husband or wife,
whose net income for 1921 was $4,000
or less shall be allowed a personal
exemption of $1,000. If the net in
come of such person was over $4,000
the exemption is $4,000. Under the
revenue act of 1913 the personal ex-
emption allowed a married person
was $4,000 regardless of the amount
of net income. The normal tax rate
remains unchanged, A per cent. on
the first $4,000 of net income above
the exemptions and 8 per cent. of the
remaining net income.
In order that an income slightly in
excess of $4,000 shall not be subject
ed to an inordinately disproportion-
ate tax because of the reduction of
the exemption of $4,000 thereon, the
law provides that such reduction shall
not operate to increase the tax, which
would be payable if the exemption
were $4,000, by more than the amount
Of the net income in excess of $4,000.
For example, on a net income of
5000, the tax, without this saving
clause. would be $12O.4O, which is 4
per cent. on 5000, the amount of net
income less an exemption of $4,000.
The actual tax is $110.40, computed
as follows: from the net income Of
5000 is deducted $4,000, leaving
$3.50, the per cent. tax of which
amounts to $100.40. To this is add
ed $40, "the amount of net income
in excess of $4,000"
The personal exemptions allowed
married persons, apply also to the
head of family, person who sup
ports in one household one or more
relatives by blood, marriage or adop-
ton.
Heretofore, person whose net in
come was less than his exemption,
Isl 900 if single, or $4,000 if mar
ried) was not required to file re-
turn. Under the Revenue Act of
1921, if the gross income of an indi-
vidual equalIed or exceeded $4,000, or
if the combined gross income of a
married couple and that of depen-
dent minor children equalled or ex-
ceeded $4,000, return must be filed,
regardless of the amount of net in
come.
met income" is gross income, less
certain deductions. The fact that al
lowable deductions from gross income,
for business expenses, losses, bad
debts, ct,.. may reduce the net in
come to an amount below the person
al exemptions of $1,000 or $4,000,
does not alter the requirement to file
a return of gross income, if such
gross income equalled or exceeded
$4,000.

THE Burlington Free Press recent
ly made long editorial mention of
Barton's winter sports undertaking
and commented very fatteringly up
on the community spirit manifest in
Barton. The article referred to is
reprinted in this issue. The spirit of
cooperation is the chief spirit lack
ing in many communities which
with it might advance rapidly. The
lack of community team work has
practically killed many Vermont
town. When everyone lives for him
self, letting George do everything in
the way of public labor, then decay
sets in. The spirit in Barton has
so completely changed in the past
three years that there is scarcely a
semblance of the old Barton left. But
the fact is. not single new natural
advantage has come to Barton lin
there years. The change has been
entirely in the minds of it's citizens.

Barton's Community Spirit Commend
ed.
(Burlington Free Press)

We are encouraged over the spirit
of enterprise now being shown by
other communities in Vermont that
have not heretofore snone in connec-
ton with winter sports, We cannot
afford our readers better idea of
the community spirit which is making
itself manife-t in different Vermont
towns than to quote from a letter
sent to Outing, whose editor enter
tanned. Burlington people few days
ago, by Mr.. Clarence S. Webster,
treasurer of the Barton improvement
club. as follows:
a clipping in which the fact was stat
ed that your magazine will devote
special number to winter sports, and
in this connection we would be glad, if
you cared to do so. to have you give
a little space to what we propose to
do here.
Barton is village of about 1900
people on the B. & M. R. R., 22O miles
north of Boston and lit miles south of
Montreal and about 20 miles south of
the Canadian border. We have
beautiful lake three miles long and
three-fourths mile wide with an un-
surpassed sand beach, bath house and
lockers, public tennis court, fair
ground, baseball, golf and lake and
the native brook trout fishing in
streams and ponds. In fact we are
right in the center of the lake region.
The above has little to do with win
ter snorts but | wanted you to know
the kind of town we have.
"The Improvement club were plan
ming to get something started and the
American Legion also had the project
in mind so the club decided to assist
them by building toboggan slide
and to buy some toboggans and bicy-
Gle shooters and give them the use of
them this winter. We have already
made the purchase of the outfit and
just as soon as we have little more
snow, the slide will be built. The
Legion is making plans for a large
skating rink also.
"The location selected is right near
"Hotel Barton" one of the finest
inns today in the state. Practically
every business man is a shareholder
and it is the intent first of all to have

ager.
Gas the village owns it's electric
light plant we are enabled to do some
thines of a community nature to adj
vantage and It is the plan to have
plenty of electrifying so that peo-
pie coming through the village may
see what we have. At the present
time we have a community Christmas
tree in the village park illuminated
by about so colored lamps"
Barton is evidently live town in
more ways than one and possessed of
the real community spirit. It owns
it's electric light plant and is thus in
a position to do MANY things in the
wav of progress. That speaks VOL
umos for the spirit of Barton. 1t is
N lire with what we have so persist
ent'v urged relative to the develop
mont Of artificial ponds and general
mo- of hvdro-electric power in hum
1reds of Vermont towns. To such a
community winter sports can be moth
ing short of a superlative success.
Let other towns follow this example.

ural resources of asbestos, soapstone
and other minerals to be found in the
wetern branch Of the Green Mountain
Y which traverses the towns of Low
ell, Westfeld and Jay in this county.
This paper has always held that
there was untold wealth in these
mountains and recent developments
tend to show that they are to be de-
veloped. In the other branch of the

more there is granite. In natural un-
