Tiieic was an unusually large attendance at the February meeting of the Profes sional club, which was held on Monday evening, the members and their guests being attracted, doubtless, by the universal interest felt In the subject of the evening, which was "Taxation," and by the fact that It was to be treated by Hon. J. L. Martin, who, within the past year, has had occasion to make a careful study of this subject In connection with the pi oper re vision of the corporation tax law. Taxation, the essayist said in beginning, Is coincident witli sinereignty. It has ex isted in some form or other ever since mankind began to live In any form of or ganized society. In the earliest days it was not by legislation, but by mandate. In those primitive times taxes were not levied, or tlieir payment compelled, for public uses, like highways, schools, libraries, the exchequer, or to support legislative bodies, but in some form or other tlie viimn ..v. Isted. In the old feudal times the lord or baron compelled tribute from his serfs or retainers In labor, In military service, or in produce. In some form or other lava. lion was In vogue. The system of tithes is as old as tlie Ilible history. Without attemntliiL' to trace tl e histor ical development of the system of taxation which prevails today In civilized countries, Mr. Martin proceeded at once to take up the system as It is found in our own coun try and state. What is the uiidcrlvlm- principlc, or basis, of taxations' It Is equal ity of sacrifice in return for protection of one's personal rights and property. Adam Smith ami .lames Mill, writing in the 17th century, advocated systems or principles which were apparently contrary or antag onistic, but it was dilllelllt to see why the fundamental principle was not substantially the same. There Is first the idea of equality of saeriliee, and of protection. Then fol lows the general theory that the re one has to piutect the more he should pay for protection. Hut when it comes to" the thought of protection, ami the basis of tax ation as founded on this thought, the ques tion aiises why not tax whatever needs protection, as children, old men, who can- I not care for themselves, women, housi--hold effects, the professional man's library, the workman's tools'.' We do not ta'x these things because of the respect which every true man pays in his heart to those who are weaker than himself because of the inherent, inborn feeling that this is not a man's way of doing tilings. We do not tax church property, school property, and other public property, because It is'prop erty held and maintained for tlie general public good- a good which is enjoyed, or may be enioved. by every member nf lb.. body politic. I he question of taxation, or of exeiint- tion from taxation, on account of .lebis ow ing was next taken up. Many hold that taxation being for protection the man who holds the property, and who derives tin. benefit from it, should pay the taxes on it, regardless of the fact th at be Is nu in., ;i debt on account of it. ruder the general principle of common law mv horse or mv cow is mine because the law urnteeis it" If there weie no such protection there would be no ownership, if i have ten cows 1 derive the benefit from them all. but I owe somebody for one-half their ntir- chase, and because 0f this I pay taxes on only five. There is a disputed question here as to whether exemption is in accord ance with the true principle of taxation, but it lias come to he the general policy to grant exemption on account of debts owed. it all property was put into tin- grand list at its value, regardless of ownership or debts, the rate of taxation would be greatly reduced, and the burden of every man, the debtor Included, would be portiotiately lightened. All power to tax Is vested In li-i'Matnro... This power cannot he delegated to nv in. dividual or corporation. The only way In winch It is or can he delegated Is so far as to enable towns, villages and local column utiles to levy taxes to pay local public ex penses. I hough this is the theory, taxation and representation do not necessarily go hand in nanci. women who may not vote must in- i.eu upon men- oronenv. r he iimiu c ..... , 1---I- n oi minors is taxed, nut t lev cannot vote until they reach the e-'.-il aue. While In the whole body politic, tinder our lb- publican form of government, it is the gen eral principle that there shall be no taxa tion without representation, the actual principle Is that taxation and protection go hand in hand. Taxation must lie for imb ue uses. . man may not be compelled to pay tribute for any other purpose. Under wuat is known in law as the power of emi nent domain, the body politic may take aiiyuung tnai a man lias for public uses It a private company were to construct wa ter works t supply a village or city witli wa ter u coiim not take lanil wherever found desirable or convenient to locate a reservoir. but If it was tlie village or city which was constructing the watcr-vvoiks as a public eniL-iprise me lami count be so taken. Hut payment must be made of Its actual value or lor damage sustained. Another principle- In taxation, now well established, Is that legislatures may not in terlere with Interstate commerce. They may not levy a tax upon the earnings re ceived, for instance, by a railroad, for traf fic originating outside the state, but the vaiue oi me tranclilse of a railroad may be established from the amount of its earnings from this and other traflic, and a tax be levied on this franchise. In other words, the state may get at the value of a railroad franchise by the amount of iu business from all sources. At the time the Ver mont corporation tax law was enacted this principle was not well understood, or had not been fully established by tlie courts, and that law levied a tax on the gross earn ings of the railroads, those from interstate commerce included. That was illegal, and the error has now been corrected so as to conform to tho rulings of tlie courts. In tlie samu way a peddler coming into Vermont with his wares from another state may not be taxed unless all peddlers are taxed, those living in the state as well. Under the general principle of taxation and protection the question has been raised iu some states whether, if you license tlie sale of intoxicating liquors, and levy a tax In payment for such license, you must not then protect the dealers in the sale of such liquors. ! The essayist discussed at some length I the old principle or method of a direct state tax to pay state expenses, as against the new and existing system of a tax on I corporations, which was intended to fully cover the state expenses, although these expenses had so increased that a state tax In addition to the corporation tax had be come necessary. In its underlying princi ple the corporation tax is founded on the law of eminent domain. Another subject touched upon was what Is known as the "taxation of succession." This proceeds on the principle that on the distribution of a great estate a certain portion of the estate should revert to the government or state which had made Its accumulation possible. At fust, on the principle of keeping such estates Intact from generation to generation, tlie whole estate went to the oldest son, but now the law distributes It to all the heirs. Two states have already enacted laws of succes sion giving a certain portion of large es tates to the state on their distribution, with good results. Wore this principle iu pen. oral use It would do away with one of the main objections urged to the accumulation of great estates, because It would return to the public use a portion of such accumula tions. Such a law of distribution would only be a fair return to the government which permits and protects the accumula tion and succession. If the law tended to make the owners of great wealth distribute it themselves, iu tlieir own lifetime, so much tlie better for them and for the public. In concluding his talk Mr. Martin touch ed briefly, but without attempting its dis cussion, on the Henry George theory of taxation, which Is, Iu substance, that" all lands should belong to the government, their rents accrue U the government, and all improvements made upon them become the property of the government. From the nature of the subject and Its familiar, easy and comprehensive manner of treatment by tlie essayist, it led natural ly to one of the liveliest and brightest dis cussions which tlie club has ever enjoyed. All phases of the subiect were brought out, a great diversity of views was present ed and maintained, and the hour of mid night had nearly come when the members and their guests Dually dispersed. At the preliminary business meeting, preceding the supper, ltev. C. II. Smith of Townsliend and ltev. H. M. Douglass of Putney were voted members of the club, in accordance witli the provisions of the hv-laws. SAXTONB KIVER. The public schools will close a successful term to-morrow.

Krom the lioston Herald It is too had that there should be so much talk about professionalism In connec tion witli certain college base ball players again this season. There was not the least doubt last year that one college nine that, showed up very strong owed this strength in a very large degree to the presence of two men who were nothing more or less than professionals, and tlieir room ex penses were not paid by themselves. The president of the university referred to, as well as one of professors, maintained most stoutly that there was nothing to the mat ter. Possibly they may not have been ac quainted witli the facts, but the men re ferred to received emolument or gain, di rectly or indirectly. This was continued by the statement of a ball player who had gone through that college iu a precisely similar way. It is a fact that anothei ball player in another nine received s-:0 per week last summer for attending a soda fountain, while he played on the local nine. An other received as munificent a sum for clerking at a hotel. One player who was known to have received money for playing ball In a college nine last season has signed witli a full Hedged professional club, and probably the only reason that he did not do so sooner was because tlie college in ducements wore greater.
