States Face Shortfalls in Direct Tax Offsets
The First Comptroller says the U S Government can claim offsets against states where the tax was not collected directly by the government. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont show overdrawn quotas for arms and accoutrements from 1808 to 1887. Vermont’s large arrearage stems from wartime arm requisitions and a later sale of $150,000 worth of arms to France.

Arsenic Bill Battles House Dissent in Massachusetts Senate
In the Massachusetts Senate yesterday the Committee on Public Health reported a measure banning sale or exposure of arsenic coated toys or confectionery. The House dissent included Messrs Harriman Hodges and Frazier. The bill imposes a fine of 50 to 100 dollars and empowers the State Board of Health to investigate arsenic in selling articles with inspectors and up to 1000 dollars for the inquiry. The session also covers debates on medical registration, hearings before state boards, and various Senate and House actions including a movement on a public highway bridge and several local issues.
