Thinks New Tax Law Detrimental to
People at Large. ,
Editor of Monitor :
As the new tax law passed at the re
cent session of our legislature seems
to have many conflicting definitions or
opinions from the people, will you
kindly allow me through the columns
of ttie Monitor to express a common
sense view of its probable effect and
who will be benefited from it. Rep
resentative Locke in his article of ex
planation does not seem to consider it
as the right thing because it deprives
the man in debt of a just offset, but
considers it an attempt to do away
with double taxation and unjust off
sets and voted for it rather than re
fuse to confer with the senate. Evi
dently there was a feeling in both
house and senate that after expending
so much time at a cost of thousands of
dollars of the taxpayers' money in the
effort to enact a tax law, that it was
necessary to pass some kind of taxation
law whether wholly beneficial to the
tapxayers or not. Now comes the in
quiry: Who is benefited by this new
law? Certainly not the man who is in
debt, for as Mr. Locke says, it de
prives him of a just offset. Certainly
not the banks, for it reduces the rate
of interest on loans, and the banks will
have to send their money outside the
state in order to get their six per cent
interest and this law will tend to make

Largely Attended Village Meeting Last
Evening. Important Matters DU- :
cussed. New Trustee Elected.
There was a large attendance at the
annual village meeting hld in Seav
er's hall last evening. The floor of
the house not only was filled but the
balcony held many ladies and young
people. ,
After the reading of the warning, F.
D. Thompson was elected moderator
and L. M. Hubbard clerk. The other
officers elected were: F. W. Cutting
as trustee for three years, the other
two men are J. V. Rowen and C. A.'
Barrows. Fred D. Pierce, treasurer ;
S. A. Hunt, collector; F. D. Thomp
son, attorney ; E. G. Colliston was re
elected water commissioner and the
other trustees are Ai Dana and A. A.
Larabee. Geo. R. Scott, fire chief ; F.
E. Richmond and E. R. Cook, assist
ants: auditors, E. W. Barron, W. W.
Reirden, C. E. Hamblet.
There was a contest over the " elec
tion of a trustee, the names of F. W.
Cutting, C A. Nute and F. D. Thomp
son being placed in nomination. The
ballot resulted in the election of Mr.
Cutting with 79 votes, Mr. Nute had 34
and F. D. Thompson 23, total vote
136. Anothtr vote was demanded on
THE NEW TELEPHOLE RATE.
How do you like your new telephone
rate?
"It's not exorbitant," savs the
Passumpsic company, "and will only
give capital a reasonable return on its
investment." But the public says,
"We were reasonably satisfied with in
dependent service at $12 per year. We
admit the service now is somewhat
better but not worth half as much
again, especially since the free call
territory has been decreased. You're
giving us better service than we de
mand and charging us. for, it."
Well, if you don't like it. you people
here in Barton village may take ad
vantage of the local cooperative line,
and rent a 'phone at $12 per year and
then have $6 a year left for "tolls" on
the other line when necessary to go
where you can't on the local. Most of
your immediate needs are supplied
with it the butcher, the doctor, the
grocer and merchants. Nine out of
every ten calls are local
Better still if you want to invest $12
j or $15 in a 'pone of your own you may
use the local independent line for $6
per year with -additional 'phone at
house for $2 per year extra by owning
the instrument. Talk with H. T.

Course Ticket Holders, Attention!
A canvass of the course ticket holders
for Barton's lecture course has been
nearly completed and almost everyone
has taken the ticket for the extra star
concert number on March 21, the fa
mous Dunbar Male Quartet and Bell
Ringers. There are a few however
who have not been reached for various
reasons and they should procure this
extra number at Pierce's before Mon
day, at 1 o'clock p. m. when the tick
ets will go on sale to the Dublic.
Your attention is called to this because
course ticket, holders may have their
regular seats for this number for 25
cents if taken before Monday at 1
o'clock. Otherwise they will take
their chances for a seat and every in
dication points to a packed house.
This courtesy has been extended to
course patrons with season tickets and
it is the urgent request of the manage
ment that you avail yourselves of the
opportunity. Don't wait until too late
and then blame others because you do
not get your regular seat. Seats not

The Inter sting Life of John McElroy.
John McElroy was born on March
7th, 1822, on a small farm one mde
from the village of Newton, Hamilton
Countv, Armagh, Ire. He was the
second son and thid child of his par-1
ents. John McElroy and Bridget;
Drumgoole) McElroy. His early ed
ucation was in his native village and
attended school at so early an age that
he was unable to find his way home.
He often said he certainly could not
remember who taught him to read and
could not remember when he was una
ble to read. But could remember that
he was able to read the newspapers at
the age of 8 years, at the age of 11 he
could read, write and figure as far as
Proportion. He entered the academy
at Camoly, McCoulough, at that age.
The school contained about 100 pupils
under one teacher, George Carmichael.
The teacher was obliged to furnish his
own assistants. The salary of the
teacher was partly paid by the gov
ernment. But the pupils, had to pay a
small tuition according to their study
He attended this school about a year
paying a few pennies a week for in
struction. His parents were poor and
even a few pennies a week meant a
good deal in that country. But John
must go to school so the teacher took
him as an assistant to teach primary
classes and for four years, two hours
every day he taught primary classes
and paid his own tuition . in that way.
There was no vacation except two
weeks at Christmas and so winter and
summer he trudged to school three
Irish miles (which meant almost four
English miles) across fields and
streams, barefooted except in the win
ter months. The school had a good
