NEW IDEA ON TAXATION.
Justice Wheeler Thinks the General
Property Tax Will Be Abandoned.
Buffalo, N. Y., ffept. 13. The Ameri
can Social Science association held two
session at the historical building in Del
aware park yesterday. The department
of social economy occupied the morning
session and addresses were delivered by
Dr. A. F. Weber and W. J. Ghent, both
of New York. The evening session was
devoted to the department of jurispru
dence. The speakers were Charles B.
Wheeler, justice of the Supreme court,
and Frank Hertdriek of New York.
Justice Wheeler's topic was "The Ten
dency of Recent Tax Legislation, with
Particular Reference to Death Duties and
a Progressive Inheritance Tax." He re
ferred 'to President Roosevelt's advocacy
of graduated inheritance taxes as hav
ing done, much to call the people's at
tention to the possibilities and effects
of such a scheme of taxation.
The increase of intangible personalty
in recent years has allowed much of it
to escape taxation and the demands for
revenue have increased. Legislatures
have turned to new methods of taxation,
am, Justice Wheeler, believed, the gen
eral property tax would be less and less
exercised arid that its place eventually
would be tliken by the excise method of
taxation, a tax on succession. of descend
ants' estates being one of the principal
sources of such revenue.
Nearly all the laws imposing taxes in
the nature of death duties have been
enacted within fifteen years, said Jus
tice Wheeler, and it is probable that the
immediate future will see more or less
general adoption of the system.

IS HAVING TROUBLE
WITH HER HIGH SCHOOL
Secret Fraternities Threaten the Efficien
cy of the Schools, Says Montpelier
, JournaL
Montpelier, Sept. 13. Tho Montpelier
Journal prints the following:
"The threatened trouble iu the Mont
pelier high school, due to the absurd
doinga of the Greek letter fraternity
boys, is something that must receive the
immediate attention of parents and in
structors. Here arc a lot of boys, not
out of their teens, introducing into sec
ondary school circles the most aggra
vating features of the most snobbish
colleges. Here we find children, still
under the direct eye of parent and in
structor, dabbling in the unholy mys
teries of initiations, fiats, "sharks,
spreads, etc., to the detriment cf their
studies and the pofiitjvo harm of the
school morale.
"The nonsense originated with college
boys who came homo full of the glories
of 'fraternity,' and who engrafted the
idea, or a slight imitation of it, upon
local high school circles. Jealousy, bit
terness, class feeling, snobbery and
many worse things have followed in the
wake of the silly conception and txlay
the 'kid fraternity' notion threatens to
break up school athletics and seriously
endanger the welfare of the institution.
"It is useless to argue with youths
who have once gotten this idiotic notion
into their beads. Ask tbera why they
have excluded this or that 'good fellow'
from their society nnd they simply
smile that superior smile so out of
place in boys of tender years and say,
"Oh, he isn't the kind of a fellow we
want.' The consequence is that the
whole prepost nrous affair has gotten be
yond the control of the school authori
ties." GOOD RACING ON

Quiet Village is Waked From its Dreams
Montpelier, Sept." 13. A pair of
bay horses owned by Edmund Shontell
who lives near the Junction indulged in
a runaway about the business blocks
on South Main street this morning in
a manner that promised damage, but
nothing serious resulted, however. The
team was standing behind the Peck
block when an automobile belonging to
Fred Sibley came around the corner of
the block. The driver of the machine
tooted the horn and this was a signal
for the start of the big pair of horse3.
They ran around the Lne company's
repair shop and; took of! a part of the
veranda in the rear of tbe Lawrence
pool room out onto Main street and then
turned onto Haymarket square. They
came to a final stop when the wagon
became caught onto a hydrant in Pit
kin court.

Appendicitis.
Dr. J. Henry Jackson, passed a., ay at
his home on South Main street at 5
o'clock this morning. Dr. Jackson was

this morning. At his bedside,
were his wife, three sons, his brother,
Rev. Samuel X. Jackson, and nephew,
S. Hollister Jackson.
Dr. Jackson was Barre's leading citi
zen, and the news of his death has cast
a shadow over the whole community,
of which he bad so long been an active
part. Dr. Jackson was known to nearly
everyone in Barre and the surrounding
country, and none knew him but to like
him. Although active in many direc
tions, he was of an eminently social
disposition, which made him sought ev
erywhere. But with all his public and
social duties, he was distinctively a fam
ily man.

ternoon at 2 o'clock from the Congrega
tional church, Rev. F. A. Poole oSiciut-

Dr. J. Henry Jackson was born in
Rrome, Province of Quebec, April 19,
1844, and was the son of Horatio N.

iaentified with Barre, where he received
an academic education under Dr. Spauld
ing in Burre academy, from which he
was graduated in 1802. In 1805 he was
graduated from the medical department
of the university of Vermont. He began
his professional life in Stockholm, in

1870, he came to Rarre, and ever since
that date this place has bee.n his home.
He soon built up an extensive practice
and became one of the leading physicians

and for many years was trustee and
treasurer of Barre academy. He repre
sented the town in the state legislature
in 1878-70, and was active fn souring
the village charier in 1880. He was
also an incorporator and president for
many years of the Barre City Water
company, until its purcliasehy th? city.
In 10(13' he was elected mayor of the
city, practically without opposition, and
it was under nim the work of making

the national Democratic, convention held
at Chicago in 18JI2. aud four years late
was the candidate for his party for gov
ernor of the state.

equally active. He became connected
with the Bane Savings Rank and Trust
company in 1.803, and had been presi
