To Help, One Must Know,

The Reformer prints to-day full re
ports of the weeks proceedings of the
legislature at Montpelier and of the
national congress at Washington. Not
being narrow in any of its own views
and aims, the Reformer takes it fol
granted that its readers like sometimes
to look beyond purely local interests
and to know what the whole world OF
human thought and endeavor is ac-
complishing.
Just now, the legislative tendencies
and decisions of our nations lawmak
ers are especially important to us, as
individuals, because of the personal
perplexities and inconvenience which
we have experienced from the question
able dealings of the great trusts Will
Congress do anything to control the
trusts? We are all anxious to know
what the answer to this question will
be. The reassuring talk of the efficien-
cy of the Sherman antitrust law, cir
culating so freely since the miners
went back to work, indicates that moth
ing will be done. If we already have
trust controlling laws, why were they
not enforced against the beef and coal
trusts last fall?
There is no voter, nor any person
who has influence over voter, so OBJ
scure or inconsequent that he may not
help his country to obtain proper laws
and proper enforcement of laws. But
he must know what is going on. If
one would be helpful, one must not be
ignorant.
Know what the trusts are doing,
know what the president and his cabi-
net are doing, know what Congress is
doing and then note what the results
are in the large affairs of the country,
in your state, in your town and to
yourself and your neighbors.
Then when you come to vote, you
will know just how you want to vote
and why. The Reforner wants to help
you to get the most possible good out
of life yourself and to do the most pos
sible good you can for others

over the increase of employees wages.
The claim of the beef trust that the
exorbitant prices set last fall were due
to the scarcity of beef has been proved
false by the treasury bureaus report of
statistics for September In that
month and for nine months preceding,
traffic in live stock was greater than
for two years. When the beef trust
gets recognized as it is planning to
do, on a half-billion basis, it will
doubtless put prices up another notch
and will have another as good and ac
ceptable excuse to offer for it, as this
was. The people, out of whose pockets
all these millions come, seem to be an
easy mark for the trusts. Will they al
ways be so easy?

The Referendum.

The editor of the Middlebury Regis.
ter wants another chance to defeat the
will of the people. Listen to his tale
of Woe:
The referendum of the majority bill
to regulate the sale of liquors, which
passed both houses of the Legislature
last Friday, is no referendum. This
was stated openly in the House by one
of the Democratic leaders. This refer
endum provides that if the vote of the
people in January shall be Eyes, the
high license bill shall take effect March
next: should the vote be mo, 1t will
take effect December, 1904. In either
case it goes into operation, the only
thing preventing this being that the
legislature meeting in October, 1904,
should repeal it, which they may do,
or not, as they please. This referen-
dun is the referendum of the Clement
platform, and not of the Republican
platform. In the vote on Friday last
lO2 Republicans voted to substitute
the Republican referendum for the
Clement referendum, but were defeat
ed by the combined Democratic and
Clement party vote, with few Repuh-
licans who in the confusion of the mo-
ment did not fully understand the con
ditions.
1t will be seen by everyone that with
this referendum the voting in January
is in the nature of farce. We under
stood one of the leaders of the democ-
racy at the time the bill was passed,
when questioned, to say that he would
not consider himself bound by this ref
erendum should he be elected to the
legislature two years hence. And we
doubt whether any Democrat would,
as they openly say that they do not be
lieve in referendum.
What course the Clement Republicans
would take on such question we do
not know. They bolted the nomina-
tions of the Republican convention
without cause, and it is reasonable to
suppose that they would bolt this ref
erendum as quickly. We believe that
the Republicans of the state will de
mand with one voice that in some way
the referendum now attached to the
high license bill should be changed so
as to become a real referendum such
as is demanded by their platform. If
this is not done by those who have
charge of the bill, we think beyond
question that Governor Mccullough
will veto it, and thus give the Republi
cans of the House and Senate, whose
attention had not been sufficiently
called to this subject at the time of the
passage of the bill, an opportunity to
correct this fatal error.
Already he has had. or stands to
have, five chances to defeat the high
license movement, and still he clamors
for more. Can it be possible that Mr..
Battell is not aware that what Yer
monters want is plain, straight, sim
pie high license law? They showed
this quite plainly when they sent high
license delegates to the state conven-
ton; they showed it again when they
cast p, 900 votes for Clement, and they
will show it again in January when it
comes before them. Mr.. Battell's
measure is good one, one of the very
best of its kind, but the time has
passed for this sort of sop. Ten or
even five years ago, such a measure
would have been hailed with delight
but now the worm has turned, and he
intends to have all he wants-and we
opine he will get it.

state school tax, is done against the
same towns, with about half dozen
exceptions, each way, where the excess
or deficit is small in each case.
Through this tax AZ towns pay an eN-
cess, over the amount received back,
of 500, 6S2 9G which goes to subsidize
the other towns The towns that pay
it have in addition TO pay their own
taxes that average IS cents on the
dollar. The towns that get it average
to pay only A 10 cents on the dollar.
The towns that pay also pay besides.
on the average 81. 81 year per pupil
in their schools aside from the fact
that in many of them parochial schools
are supported, thus TRIPPING the burden.
Brattleboro, according to the state
school report for 1900 from which all
these figures are taken, paid SD. % for
each pupil in her schools The towns
that get this subsidy and including it,
only spend 5l2. % per pupil per year.
Only 80 towns in the whole lot, less
than one-siXth the whole number, pay
over 30 cent tax or materially more
than those they are compelling to sub
sidize them, and any quantity of them
pay less than half as much. Only 10 pay
school tax above GO cents, or on even
the theory of the law, are entitled to
the aid.
The towns mulcted by these taxes
are generally the ones most likely to
grant licenses, and the amount of the
license fees they would receive, as well
as it can be estimated now, would be
SIT, 800 and if q of this goes to the
state and back to the small or no IL
cense towns, it would be another mulct
Of , RI hall
the other two together.
The three mulcts aggregate $40
466. 60 about 81. 70 a year for each aver
age family. If the new school bill and
that doubling the highway tax become
laws, as is likely, having passed the
House, the mulct will be 5l95, 5iG. 80 or
So. 30 a year for each average family.
Brattleboro, if she grants licenses in
the usual proportion and prices, will
be skinned to the amount of S7si6. 10
or SO, 9lS. - under the proposed
new state school and highway taxes
This would be more than equivalent to
a 70 per cent. additional tax on our
people.
The people thus plundered come close
to being a majority of the whole, 100,
139 in all, Does anybody suppose they
are going to submit when it is left to
them to say yes" or mo-" They
can't help themselves with regard to
the highway and school taxes. and that
fact will make them all the more deter
mined to stop this piratical toll.
And they ought to. Prohibition is
demoralizing and debasing and rotting
to civic virtue. But highway robbery
formulated into law, as this would be,
is worse.
The friends Of the bill will be very
foolish, if, for the sake Of victory now.
they invoke sure defeat later by per
hitting this monstrosity in this bill.
The exceptional circumstances Of the
year have probably given them power
with their large majority to prevent ii .
if they stand determinedly. If the .
final alternative appears to be pro-
hibition or robbery, let the prohibi
tionists take the espoHsibility, and the
reckoning that is sure to follow before
the people.

Secretary Moody has issued the an
nual report of the condition of the
United States navy. He says that the
most pressing need of the navy is more
officers. This need, he declares, he
cannot overstate, and it invites the in
slant attention of congress. 1t has
been approaching for some years and is
now acute. The administration of the
department is embarrassed almost daily
by lack of officers below command
rank. The number of enlisted men in
the service June 80, 1902. was p, 1873,
of whom 5. 0i2 were landsmen for train
ing and apprentices. Mr.. Moody rec
ommends a continuance, without in
terruption, of the increase of ships
and naval stations.

Booker T. Washington says that the
negro race must find salvation in work
and that in the proportion as it lifts
work out of drudgery into an atmos-
phere of beauty and dignity. This is a
truth, not for the negroes alone, but
for all of us. Work is the salvation,
mentally, physically and morally, of
all humanity: but only when idealized
lifted above self. made the expression
of the best there is in US. There is
nothing more satisfying, more uplift-
ing-more saving--in the world than
work done in this way; but compare

The st. Adams Messenger thus an
alyzes the vote on the Battell bill as a
whole and in Windham county:
The 81 towns whose representatives
voted for the Battell bill together cast
16, 252 votes out of the total of 90, $50
polled by the entire state for governor
last September. This shows what pro
portion these towns bear to the total
voting population of the state-that is,
fraction over % per cent. Another
interesting fact in this connection is
that these 81 towns cast 9.742 of the
81, S64 votes cast for Mccullough and
the straight party platform, or a frac-
ton under 81 per cent. of the total
straight Republican vote. The Wind
ham county towns voting for the Bat
tell bill were Brookline, Somerset,
Stratton, Vernon, Wardsboro and
Windham. These towns cast 2SS of
the 2,S0i straight Republican votes
cast by the whole county. Their total
vote, all parties, was 1876 of the 5,Gi2
cast by the entire county. Out of the
1856 votes cast by the six towns whose
voted for the Battell
bill, 45G were for lcensereferendum.

over - per cent Of the total vote of the

1t is certainly hopeful sign when a
