The Pioneer Express.
A cAr-AGoR1sr.

Theresa categorical sort of person
writing from Pembina (?) with the pseu-
donym Of Taxpayer" to the Neche
Chronotype.
His method of calumny is by asking
insinuating, insulting and indiscriminate
questions, directed at the county board.
He makes but few direct assertions. II
seems to be a peculiar literary style
Some people have that style.
1t is fact that query crafty put has
even more effect than direct statement
besides, statements. if not true, are
libels-while question gives the cat.
agorist an opportunity for retreat.
In Taxpayers" first letter of Nov. 8,
he apparently forgot himself got off his
literary trolley once-and made one di.
rect statement. Here it is:
sJustrecently one of the bondsmen 81
that bank left the county accompanied
by all his wealth, and the commissioners
were we'll aware of his intended depart
ure."
The Pioneer Express said nothing
about Mr.. Taxpayers questions, but as it
knew Mr.. George LaDoux to be an up
right and d-respected citizen, who had pro.
vided for his share of the bond before
leaving, and had not taken all his
wealth, /" we, injustice to Mr.. LaDoux,
made the correction to the direct state
ment.
Now Taxpayer" says we crushed to
the defence Of the county board" and
tried ITO draw red herring" across the
deadly trail now being followed by this
bloodhound detective, the new Sherlock
Holmes.
We suggest to Taxpayer that he
keep TO his cat-agories- 1t suits his style
better. Ifhe had said: did Mr.. La
Doux take all his wealth with him?''- he
wouldn't, have written downright false
hood on Nov. 5th-nor had to talk Of red
herrings nor crawfsh, as he did Nov.

The DOuk hobors in Canada.

In 1899 what has been called the
largest exodus of any one people to this
continent in modern times took place.
1t was the immigration to Northwestern
Canada of eight thousand members of
strange sect OF slavs from the borders
of the Black and Caspian Seas They
left their homes to escape persecution by
the Greek Church, which regarded them
as dangerous heretics fit only for eXter-
mination, and by the Russian govern
ment for the refusal of the men to per-
form military service, The Canadian
government set apart tract of thirty
six square miles in the province of AS
siniboia, for them, and there they have
established over seventy small villages

fields are lying idle while their horses

The Spirit o. Gommunism.

If the Legislature of the State of New
York were TO pass a law compelling j.
Pierpont Morgan to distribute part of his
vast wealth among all or a portion of the
people of the Empire State, every intelll-
gent person would readily recognize the
act as piece of communism as pro-
nounced as 1t would DO inexcusable and
iniquitous. If the Legislature Of New York
were to pass an act and label it taxation
compelling all the taxpayers of New York
city to divide their wealth with the tax
payers of the Empire State, the same
principle would hold good. although the
communism might not be so evident to
some minds. This would not only be class
legislation of the rankest kind, but it
would also be the taking of money from
the people of the metropolis and giving
1t to the people Of less favored sections.
There would be a feeling of Indignation
on the part of some of our good citizens
II they were told that they were advocat-
ing communism just as indefensible and
as dangerous as would be the forcible ex-
tortion of the wealth Of J. Pierpont Nor

The Connecticut Ballot Law,

The election law of the State of Con-
necticut has been in operation there since
1890 unless it has been recently changed.
As described a year or two ago the po-
litical parties print their own ballots, and
the State provides a supply of official en-
velopes. Or election day the voter pro-
vides himself with the ticket he desires
to vote, and alters it if he wishes to by
scratching and pasting and writing in ad-
libitum. At the polls he receives an ON
cial envelope, and with it enters a secret
booth whore he incloscs his ballot in the
envelope and seals it up. He then
energies from the booth deposits the en-
Velope in the ballot box and departs The
process requires no complicated "dircc-
tons" In order to be understood by the
most stupid or careless and makes no
special provision is necessary to assist
the illiterate, or even the inflrnt, unless
the voter has lost the use of his hands.
Voting under il is expeditions and abso-
lutely secret and successful double Vot
ing is Impossible. Moreover, the syst, m
gives the fre.st scope for Independent
nominations and for independent voting
even without public nominations"
Why is this not a pretty good law?

gan or of all mllionaires in New York city
and distributing it among the people for
some purpose under some form of tax
alton. 1t will bother those responsible for
the scheme however, to show how this
communism differs In principle from that
which compels the millionaire of Rutland
to help build roads for a poor town in
Essex county or that forces the wealthy
citizen of st. Adams to aid n struggling
taxpayer in the mountains of Bennington
county to build a road in front of his
dwelling.
This is what Is being advocated in an ex-
aggerated form in the present Legislature,
the only difference being that the aid
asked for in some instances is by wealthy
towns instead of by struggling communi-
tics. There are various projects of this
character, which we do not need to desig-
nate, but which the members of the Legis-
laturc will readily recognize The passage
of such schemes is communism just as
surely as would be the taking of wealth
from the millionaire and distributing it
for the benefit of others, the difference
being in degree solely, and not in charac-
ter
1t is stated that some Of those who
were responsible for the state road tax
thought they had done a slick trick when
they imposed the tax upon the grand list
and distributed the proceeds according to
the mileage of roads for this compelled
the wealthy towns to contribute much
mn no ie
only another form Of taking from the
wealthy residents of the larger towns and
distributing the proceeds among the rural
towns Morgans wealth is many times
the aggregate of the possessions of all
the larger towns in Vermont. and If the
money were being taken from him alone
no intelligent person would be unable to
recognize the act as communstic. Because
the taxes are taken from number of cit
liens instead of from one some profess
not to see that the principle is the same.
The plea is that the large towns are
benefited by the trade Of the small towns,
but this is in reality no argument for the
small towns are also benefited by the
trade of the larger towns without which
lI'y WOuIu nave no markets.. Ijut now
does Burlington, for example. profit from
the building of a road in Essex county?
The only way in which the State road tax
can be justified under this plea is to dis
tribute the proceeds of the tax raised
in each county among the towns of that
county. The rural towns OF county do
business with the large towns in that
county and the argument advanced in
support of the State road tax might APP
ply to a system of distribution of that
character a tax law which compels Mont
pelier to contribute to the building of
roads in Bennington county, for example,
is communism pure and simple without
a single good argument in Justification;
and its encouragement will not fail in
the end to have a demoralizing effect up
on all classes of our people.

Liquor Legislation.

We note with no small degree of salts
faction that the subcommittee of the joint
temperance committee of tho Legis-
lature appointed to formulate To-
ral option high license bill to
be submitted to the people is so CON
sttuted that it will be an utter impossi-
bility at any time hereafter to nsinuate
that the bill was not put In shape by the
friends of the license system of regulating
the traffic in Intoxicating liquor, or that
the referendum did not have absolutely
fair play at the hands of the committee.
This committee is composed of Senators
Downer of Windsor and Russell of Chit
tenden, both of whom are republicans and
one of whom is the author of the Russell
local. option-high license bill. of Represen-
tatives Conland of Brattleboro and O'Sul-
Ivan of st. Adams, both of whom are
democrats in favor of substituting license
for prohibitions and of Representative
Ellis of Rutland county, who was tho in
dependent license candidate for speaker.
There is no ground for suspicion that the
committee has been packed with advo-
Gates OF prohibition, therefore, for the pur-
pose of forcing the submission to the peo-
pie of a bill formulated to invite defeat
In other words there is a manifest DISPOSE
ton to allow the leading champions Of
license to say what sort OF a measure
they shall select on which to rest their
cause in the test of popular sentiment re-
garding the comparative merits of local
option and State prohibition.
Some of the supporters of prohibition In
| the Legislature have expressed their de-
| sire to eliminate from our prohibtlve
| legislation various features recently
adopted which have not met with the
approval of all advocates of prohibition.
even such as the injunction. We can see
no good reason why the members of the
| Legislature favorable to prohibition
should not enjoy the same latitude in
making changes preparatory to the sub
mission Of the question of restriction of
the liquor traffic to the people as the add
vocates of prohibition have extended to
the supporters of license, and we believe
this same spirit of fairness will prevail
1t needs no argument to show that
whichever method of dealing with the H.
quor traffic Is favored by the people, as
indicated by their votes in connection with
the referendum the principle supported
by a majority will unquestionably con.
tinue to be the basis of our liquor legis-
lation for a long time to come, be it pro-
hibition or local option. If the prohbitory
law Is to be retained, and 1t will con-
tinue in force until some other method OF
restriction is substituted for it, then all
