THE HYDRANT TAX.

The question Of assessing hydrant
tax is of vital Importance to every
property owner in Barre, and is likely
to be made an issue in the coming city
election, therefore we think it dcSl-
rable to give our readers little light
on the subject by quoting some of the
most important arguments for and
against the assessment. This matter
WAS referred, at recent meeting of
the city council, to the water com
mlttee and the supt. Of water works,
with instructions to investigate and
report recommendations, which they
did.
In their opinion it was advisable to
assess a 20 cent hydrant tax, and then
lower the city water rent rates enough
to Offset the sum that W ,uld be real
lied from the tax, and their report
wasJaccepted and adopted, and reso.
luton passed making the new sched-
ule of rent rates which they reported,
the rate to be charged consumers of
city. water next year.
In order to stop needless waste the

Advertising is the motor wheel OF
the business universe and it is the
only effective means whereby the mer
chant can rise to the pinnacle Of sue
cess. It's ability to accomplish world
ly wonders has long been well under
stood but even the most devoted Of
it's followers never thought it could
be made to provide for a mans well
fare in the great hereafter. Never
the less even this is being tried in a
sort Of indirect manner at Beverly
Mass, where Ethe first Universalist
church trustees have made contraci
for half-page of advertising space IN
the leading newspaper for every Sat-
urday. This half page is used to de-
clare the doctrines Of the church, an
nounce the preachers subject and the
music programme for the next day,
tell the people how to reach the place
and describe the seating arrangements.
The church is crowded every Sun
day night. Perhaps the money in
vested in this way may accomplish as
worthy results as other missionary
projects where the funds are sent to
the other side of the globe.

BARRE, VT, FEBRUARY 2, 1901

The Bellows Falls Times says:
"Some of the state papers have been
making comments on the habit of
profanity, which has an iron grip on
the male population of the state, and
it is said to be Tightening its hold on
the female portion. 1t cannot be dis
puted that the silly, indefensible, dis
gushing habit of profanity is almost
universal. Not all men swear good,
round, SOpOrOuS OathS: some use dim
unitives, with the mistaken idea that
they are getting all the benefits of
swearing without mourning moral OBJ
loquy. Some good men, who would
be shocked if charged with profanity,
make. themselves ridiculous by sand
wlching their conversation with oath
lets that are both senseless and purile.
Profanity 10 any form is inexcusable.
1t is in violation of command of
"A il1iShUy OOd. ID WcdkCuluS w
conversation. 1t is demoralizing both
to those who speak and those who
hear That profanity should be gen
eral among the ignorant and morally
degenerate is not so strange. But the
vile habit is not limited to these class
es. Men of education and refinement
are often the most glib swearers
They give the practice classic finish
and it becomes witn them almost an
art. If this class Of men could see a
stenographic report of an hours con-
versation they ought to be so asham-
ed Of the record that a reform would
be inaugurated at once" ibis dis
sertation is all right, but what ar
rang ments will you make, Brother
Times, for the accommodation Of prin-
tiers and troopers.

stall water meters in the blocks and
at the stone sheds and polishing mills
and several metersDhave already been
ordered on trial, and will be Installed
soon.
There has been considerable discus
sion as to the justice of the proposed
hydrant tax. Those who oppose it,
beiog in many instances users I water
from some supply other than that
owned blythe city, say that they have
already paid, or are obligated to pay
their share of the purchase price Of
the city's plant and that a portion of
their general tax helps to pay the
running expenses Of the same.
On the other hand those who favor
the hydrant tax claim that, with the
city water system practically self sus-
tanning, as it is at present, these users
Of water from other suppl have
paid no greater proportion according
to their grand list, Of the purchase
price Of the plant than have those
who use water from the city supply,
now these users of water from sources
outside the city system are not con-
tributing anything towards the main
tenance of the city systems as the
rentals collected from the users Of
city water practically sustain thesame
but these users Of other wafer are all
the time getting just as great fire
protection from the city system as
those who are paying for its main
tenance.
The friends Of the proposed tax
claim that justice is on their side, for
they can see no reason why property
owners who use spring water should
have the free use of the city supply
for fire protection at the expense of
the users Of city water. The hydrant
tax, if assessed, will be only on prop
erty within 1000 feet of Il hydrant,
and will be against bI5h users Of
spring and city water, but the users
Of city water will, from now on, have
enough lower water rent rates to very
nearly balance their share Of the by
drant tax, 50 the result will be that
users Of spring water will have to pay
for their fire protection the same as
other people.
The friends of the hydrant tax
claim that, with the city water sys-
TEN as near self supporting as it is at
present, the only way thai. snc users
Of spring water can he made to help
support 1t, ifa hydrant tax is not as
sessed, is for the city to furnish Wa
ter absolutely free to al who desire it,
and pay the running expenses from
the general fund, raised by regular
tax on the grand list. or course the
owners of spring water systems would
object to this as their plants would
become practically worthless.
Under the city charter the power
to assess a hydrant tax lies in the
hands Of the city council, and it will
be assessed and collected at the
same time as the other city taxes.
Some users of city water are in
favor Of the hydrant tax, although it
will make them quite little extra
cost, but is hard job to find an own
er of spring water plant who favors
it, for they think it will oblige them
to cut down their water rates.

ALI LIES WITH ROOSEVELT.

1t is not at all surprising that express
sions are heard coming from every Sec
ton of the country condemning the atti-
tude borne by the recent so-called recip-
rocity convention at Washington. These
expressions of opinion are but the first
echo of a public sentiment which Will
make itself thoroughly heard before the
meeting of congress and will operate to
force that body to recognize the national
demand for more liberal tariff policy
The address delivered by the late pres
ident at Buffalo was the product of deep
thought on the changed economic condi-
now maintained and on the need which
exists, if VIE are to compete on anything
like equal terms with foreign nations for
the trade of the world, of radical
change in our tariff legislation
We are building up huge industrial mo-
nopolies and paying to them bonuses from
the national treasury. There is menace
to popular institutions in the influence
which these powerful monetary interests
exercise on the politics of the time. The
tremendous force and diversity of re-
sources in influencing political action
which these concerns have shown them
selves to possess since the reciprocity idea
was seriously entertained prove that they
are a danger to economic freedom, in
comparison with which the United States
bank. against which President Jackson
invoked all the strength of his strenuous
nature was a mere nothing.
Side by side with the expressions OF
deem concern to which we refer, every
newspaper reader may observe published
statements declaring that President
Roosevelt has become a convert to the
policy of leaving well enough alone"
It may be so. President Roosevelt may
stand on the maintenance of a prohibit
tive tariff; but if he does he will belle his
long recognized opinions on the so-called
protective policy.
There is here an excellent opportunity
for the representatives Of the Democratic
party in congress and out to bring the
American public to a full realization o.
the significance of the unwillingness of
