 The personal exemption and credit for dependents are also al- lowable as credits against the net income for the purpose of the surtax, the resulting net income being designated "surtax net in- come" The surtax is imposed on

UPHELD BY
GOVERNOR

RUTLAND, VT, Dec. l QN.SO.
Defiant of charges that he "cov-
cred up" $250,000 embellishments

bank four years ago, Governor
Charles M. Smith, president OF
the Marble Savings Bank, today
defended his action.
Governed Smith issued state.
ment in which he declared:
an 1882, when the country
was experiencing an unprece-
denied number Of bank failures,
1 followed a course Of conduct
which seemed clearly imperative
for protection of depOSitOrs Of
the Marble Savings Bank and
at the same time consistent with
good citizenship.
However, the prOpriety Of
that action has been attacked.
At the proper time and place
expect to make it clear that L
acted with fidelity to my duties
as q citizen and an officer OF
the MadbIe Savings Bank"
The governor was free under
$4,000 bail, charged with conceal
ment of felony. Also under the
same charge were Samuel Howard,
vice president of the Vermont
Marble Company, Former Bank
Commissioner Robert C. Clark,
and Bert L. Stafford, prominent
attorney and chairman Of the
State board of education. Howard
and Stafford are trustees Of the
bank. Clark was bank commits
Sioner at the time Of the alleged
embezzlenents.
John j. Cocklin, the former
bookkeeper, was convicted a week
ago Of defalcations amounting to
$4,000. He is free on bail, but
faces q possible 10 years prison
sentence and $4,000 fine.

Of the bank, was convicted of per.
jury, the State charging he issued
a false statement on the bank S
condition.
States Attorney Asa S. Bloomer
declared the shortage was charged
off to surplus and undivided
profits Of the bank in resolution
adopted by the trustees.
The offenSe with which Cover.
nor Smith, Howard, Clark and
