In the Sen ate chamber, packed to the doors, a number of merchants and manufac turers explained to the Senate com mittee on finance this afternoon why the flat rate bill which recently passed the House, if enacted into law would work an unfair hardship to them and tend to drive business and initiative out of Vermont. The first speaker was the Hon. Alexander Dunnett, who Bald that he was there to represent the people of his heme town, St. Johnsbury. Mr. Dunnett objected to the lack of equity which the bill Involves when It lowers the rate on bank stock and a number of kinds of personal property and de prives the young merchant, who has a large stock of goods In his store, of the right to get some recognition of the fact that they are not paid for or are bought with borrowed money, allowing him to set off against them the amount which he owes. He said that this was not a real flat rate measure, but a patched up experi ment, more unjust than any law which he knew except one very anc ient law which read: ' "To him that hath shall be given and from him that hath not shall be taken away even that little which he hath." F. M." Cory, speaking for the mer chants and manufacturers of Mont pelier, made an earnest speech against the bill. The Hon. .Max L. Powt-l! spoke vlg orouslv for Burlington business men. He si: tl that all over the State it would paralyze initiative nit I pena lize all the young men who an' try ing to awaken and build h;i Ver- 1 mont. The Hon. H. S. Peck also i-pnk. tor the Burlington business iiu n. and T. B. Wright of Burlington told how the law would injure business and be unfair to ambitious young men with limited capital. H. H. Abbott, a young business man from Bellows Falls, stated clear ly the case of the merchants and manufacturers of that village and tendered their formal protest. The Hon. W. A. Lord of Montpelier opposed the law on the ground that It was a hybrid with neither sex nor denomination, mixing up the fiat rate principle for the sole purpose of catching certain votes. Mayor Robert Roberts of Buning ton spoke on behalf of his fellow cit iens Faying that the law would fall because it attempted to legislate men honest. The Hon. John.W. Gordon of Barre, the most prominent advocate of the flat rate for Vermont, was asked to speak if he wished to, and make a very eloquent and impas sioned appeal for the general flat rate principle, but seemed to avoid treatment of this particular bill, es pecially with regard to its offset limiting feature. Question from Mr. Roberts reveal ed the fact that In Pennsylvania, where Mr. Gfirdon said the flat rate had been a success In Increasing the tax lists, the flat rate In force Is very much less than 'the rate which this bill would Impose. The Hon. C. P. Smith, who hap pened to be In the audience, was ask ed some questions by the committee and In bis reply stated that the measure under consideration and the Babbitt bill for the exemption of money loaned on Vermont rral estate at five per cent, or under, were In no way Inconsistent, being designed to accomplish two different things. The Babbitt bill he said was designed to lower the rate of Interest In Vermont and he believed would do it. This Mil, he said, was a revenue measure designed to get more property into the Pst He said he thought this bill would be a good one it the flat rate provided were lowered to about three per cent, and the Injustice as to off sets abolished.
