Guest editorial argues Vermont moves to limit property taxes by income caps 4 to 6 percent and rebates up to 500 dollars, funded by federal funds and a real estate capital gains tax. It notes Massachusetts would benefit from similar ceilings while urging broader tax reform to reduce reliance on property taxes and shift load to income taxes.
Despite celebration over the July 1 bottle ban, critics note the plan deposits only not returns. The four mill tax on containers ends, shifting burden to stores and risking border trade and national brands. Six months in, lawmakers may adjust the measure for fairness and effectiveness.
MOSCOW Fischetti notes in Soviet economic outlook that rapid industrialization relied on large manpower. With birth rates near replacement and population growth flattening, the labor force expansion may taper by 1980 and potentially decline by 1990, signaling future productivity and workforce challenges.
A Soviet manpower shortage, with only a small share of labor in farming, pushes reliance on productivity gains, education, and management. The piece notes small family sizes, housing constraints, and the need to attract women to work, while linking labor pressures to detente and trade with the United States. It also covers Moscow’s view that trade cannot be a prize and Russia’s preference for flexible terms and alternative partners.
The piece argues the Office of Technology Assessment will face a fiasco evaluating new methods. It recalls Wright brothers, Ford, Goddard, and the rocket age to emphasize how inventions spawn unpredictable futures and the need to regulate human intelligence morally.

The Burlington Free Press highlights a proverb urging caution between a secure present and uncertain future, using the saying a bird in the hand is safer than one in the bush to illustrate prudent optimism.
