the position taken by the Washington

with equal propriety have one of its

The taxpayers of Burlington arc
expected to do some sonorous groan-
ing when called on TO pay their city
tax this year, the rate having advanced
from Sl.l0 to $l.50. This is quite a
Jump, but the city has something to
show for it. An improved water sys-
TEN, durable street-beds and reliable
fire department have necessarily en-
tailed much expense, but the city has
got what it has paid for and made a
good trade in each case. Extrava-
gance cannot be justified, but no mon
ey is better spent in any municipality
than that raised by tax for desirable
public improvements. Much OF Bur-
Iington's present success and bright
prospects for the future Is due to her
spirit of enterprise in this direction.
Pennywise policy is the poorest al
ways.

Don't crawfish.


Asked to present its reasons for be-
lieving that the position Of this paper
in regard to double taxation Of mort
gagged real estate is, as it has alleged,
absurd, the Watchmon backs of, COW
ering its retreat by skirmish fire OF
pettifoggery. 1t says in conclusion,
.When there is need or occasion to
say anything further on this subject
the Watchman will be heard from, -
which, being interpreted, means that
it has so poor hand that it fears to
play its cards until compelled to. 1t
doesn't want to air the subject, being
aware OF the weakness it must display.
The hope Of those interested in con-
tinuing the present system OF taxa
tion is that those oppressed will not
demand justice. IT they can be hood
winked into the belief that their con-
dition will not be improved, sharp
contest and probable defeat is avoided.
1t is cute scheme, but it won't work
always.
Even if our ''incapacity TO UNDER
stand some of the fundamental truths
Of political economy" appears TO be
a plausible excuse for the IfatchAaa
in its refusal to discuss this question
now,it is assured that men whose sin
capacity the Watchmdn would not
dare to question are interested in the
subject. They may be convinced,
if we are too dull of comprehension,
20 some good may be achieved by a
clear and vigorous defence OF the
present system. If it is right, surely
its support must be easy-especially
BY such a repository Of wisdom as the
JFatchman assumes to be. II The con-
temporary declines to defend it, the
impression will prevail that there is
some structural weakness in its case.
The only approach to argument
that can be found in the Watchmda's
article is the following
.sThe contemporary still insists that
Vermonters. under the existing tax
law, ARE martyrs to system OF oppres-
sion that would be condemned in
Russia. He limits the area OF martyr
dom to those farmers who have failed
to pay off the mortgages on their
farms. AS farmers constitute the great
body of Vermont's population, and
our pessimistic friends delight to de-
clare that the farms are, for the most
part, heavily mortgaged, the condi-
ton Of the great bulk Of vermonters
is deplorable indeed. But why ex-
clude the large army of mechanics,
clerks, professional men. and other
laborers besides farmers, whose prop
erty is mortgaged, from the ranks OF
the oppressed ? Are they not equally
martyrs to system Of oppression that
would be condemned in Russia? Z"
No, they are not. They are exclnd-
ed for the simple reason that the law,
in its unjust discrimination, excludes
them by permitting them TO Offset
their Indebtedness against their per-
sonol property, while the farmer,whose
personal property is inconsiderable, is
not permitted to offset his debts

License Statements.

License does not generally mean
free rum. Prohibition, as rule, does
mean Just that. In some states it has
meant nothing else. 1t means that in
a considerable number of Vermont
towns, although not in all. Rum Is
sold in some Vermont towns as open
ly as -four, day and night, Sundays
and all--how can license law be
broken in any worse way? The whole
string of statements simply runs
straight against the facts. And fur
ther: We are told that New York sa-
looms are being closed Sundays. Rut-
land and some other Vermont towns
would gain immensely if they had a
law under which it was possible to
close saloons Sundays or any other
days Rutland Herald.
The above is in answer to a para
graph Of ours last week. The Herald
has the excuse of environment in its
favor. Nowhere else in the state is
liquor sold as openly and freely as in
Rutland. Yet we are convinced that
the contemporary exaggerates when It
states that rum Is sold even there as
openly as -four. Is that so? Is it dis
played in plain view from the streets !
Is it advertised by outdoor signs and
in the newspapers Has commerce
in rum the same social or business
standing that commerce in flour has
even in Rutland? And ifnot in Rut-
land, how much less in other towns
Is the liquor business in Vermont as
extensive, as open, as offensive, as it is
in license states? Step over into New
York state and see. There, few ham,
iets are without their open saloons and
in every city there are more gin mills
than grocery stores, all conspicuous
and legitimate. BY exerting itself TO
The utmost, the police force OF New
York city has been aole to practicaily
stop Sunday opening there for few
weeks, but the attempt is regarded as
only spasmodic. Never before has
there been any honest effort to enforce
the law. Ii the officials OF Rutland
would make half as earnest an at
tempt to stop liquor seMng there as
the New York police have done, much
Of the Herold's ammunition would be
spoiled.
No saloon, licensed BY law, howev-
er offensive ia operation, can be
closed. 1t has the law behind it. Lii
cense fosters and encourages the traf-
fic. 1t gives it legal and social
standing. II is the shield Of the rum
shop.
There is enough difference between
license and prohibition on this score
alone to attract most OF those who
honestly desire the least possible traf-
fic in liquor to the side Of prohibition.
