AS TO ASSESSMENTS.

! In conversation with an Examiner
scribe Assessor Hume states that he
has endeavored to give the people
of the county as fair an assessment
as he possibly can. He has rectifed
many CAPABILITIES already and he ex-
poets to correct many more this year.
] Mr.. Hume state that no Partially
viii be shown to anyone, and all will
be treated the same as he sees it.
No matter, though, how good the
! intentions of Mr.. Hume are, to
e1ualize the valuations of all tax
payers, his efforts will mot amount
to much unless backed up by vigor-
GUS and fearless work on the part of
the county board of equalization.
They will need to come to the as
SCISSORS assistance by making chang
es that they know perhaps better
than the assessor, should be made.
No matter whom they effect these
changes should be made and the
whole list carefully gone over.
Very little has been done along
this line in recent years by the var
ious boards, and the assessor has
had to takeIthe blunt of whatever
blame there was for unequal assess
ments.
The Examiners criticisms of the
matter is wholly in a spirit of bet
terment, and to the end that all tax
payers shall pay their just proper
ton of the county and state tax
burden.

HEARST'S CANDIDACY.

For long time the candidacy of
William r. Hearst, tor the presi-
Dental nomination on the Democrat
ic ticket, was looked upon as a sort
of farcial matter, but recently all
this has changed and it is now said
that he is the leading candidate,
having even better show than
German, Parker or Cleveland.
Hearst will undoubtedly receive the
support of the labor organizations,
the antitrust organizations and
others, who believe that the present
regime would result IN the making
of millionaires out Of the few, and
paupers out Of the great mass, of
the people. MIR. Hearst has also
many other points in his favor. He
is absolutely fearless in doing what
he thinks is right Although rich
man himself, his wealth did not
come from the grinding down of
the masses, through the mani = ula-
ton of trust monopolies and other
questionable methods. His millions
came from mines and newspapers.
He has no sympathy whatever with
tariff that permits monoplists to
sell their manufactured products at
a low price to foreigners, while
they rob the American buyer with
higher prices. Mr.. Hearst doesn't
believe that competition should be
smothered out IN order that the
people may be held up for all their
pocketbooks will stand for.
His nomination and election
would result in the banlshment of
all forms of governmental protection
to the trust robbers, and the send
ing to the penitentiary of all high
waYmen such as Schwab, Morgan
and the like, who have robbed the
public by ling them worthless
watered stocks. His election would
also mean a radical change from
present methods, and while it might
hurt for the time being, on account
OF the condition of serfdom that
now exists, still in the Tong run it
would put the government back to
where it properly belongs, of, by !
and for the people. The longer this
return is delayed the harder 1t will
be on the people to make the
change.
The Examiner can support w. R.
Hearst's candidacy without any

now TO provide more school ROOF
and teachers for the children o
Montpelier. Notwithstanding, tn
large additions made to both bulld
lngs the past year, it is evident that
III the lower town district at least
more instructors and school room
Will have to be provided shortly
In both districts more teachers will
have to be hired another year. Anc
vet the condition ia not as bad as i
might be.
In this city there are more thar
20 married couples who have NJ
children at all, and possibly as many
more who are content with the ont
or two they have, and during the
past several years there has been nc
increase of pupils from this source.
Say then that there are fifty families
that have possibly no more than rs
children. Suppose all these had an
average family of four, and four is
not reckoned large family, where
would the directors get off 1T for
room. If they were to be called ON
TO provide for 325 or so more child
rem they would certainly have more
gray hairs and sleepless nights than
they now have. It would mean
several more rooms, and at least
seven more teachers. In other
words, the school going population
might be doubled, with the present
number of families, and still no one
parent have an extraordinarily large
progeny.
And there is lesson in il all, too.
It's this, that If in other towns,
are the same as in Mont
pelier, there are great number of
marital bonds that are not produc-
tive of human beings. In nearly
every instance this non-productive-
ness is not the fault of either the
husband or wife, but the fault of
nature. Most people love children
and desire them.
The question naturally arises, are
the no children homes on the in
1t certainly would seem SO.
AS a boy. we do not remember ever
having lived in town where there
were SO many chlldiess homes as at
present found in towns the size of
Montpelier. There were occasional
y, of course, isolated instances, but
1ere IN this city the ratio is possibly
ID per cent.
But all this, there is no possible
;hance, at least for some time to
come, of the "race suicide" theory
becoming a menace to the country.
W have to return thanks to those
Who can and do rear large families.
md many of these are yet among us.

VIEWS OF THE
LIQUOR DEALERS
THEIR OPINIONS ON THE LIQUOR
TRAFFIC SUBMITTED TO THE
GOVERNOR AT HIS REQUEST.

The Liquor Dealers Association,
through j. G. Rothwell, has addressed
letter to Governor Carter setting
forth the views of this trade in regard
to proposed or prospective legislation
on the liquor question. In this letter
he urges that much of the Illicit liquoi
selling is due the fact that the PLAN
tations oppose the issuance of licenses
for saloons near their plantations,
while the demand for liquor remains
and is met by Illicit selling.
The liquor dealers urge that licenses
should be issued wherever there Is a
large enough community to demand a
place for the sale of liquors, but that
the license fee q $1,000 ought not to be
required of smaller places, where the
amount of business done would not JUS
tify the payment of so large a sum. II
is suggested that in the less populous
districts, smaller license fee should
be authorized by the Legislature.
Continuing, Mr.. Rothwell says:
The retail license is to provide a leg

tie and up to the lowest quantity sold

be allowed to be taken out either by
the holder of a saloon license or deal
er in districts of the first class, the sale
of bottle quantities being called for by
many of the public, who will not go to
saloon, but cannot now legally pur-
chase in any other place. This license
is the one / propose should be issued
in the plantation or second class dis
tricts and it should be provided that
no drinking is to be done on the liz
censed premises. This will obviate the
great objection of the plantations, as a
rule, to the creation of centers where
labor can congregate and carouse and
will at the same time enable the con-
sumner to obtain legally whatever he re-
quires for his own use.
Hotel and restaurant licenses should
have the privilege of sale by the drink
or bottle but for consumption on the
licensed premises only

should have the privilege of taking out
retail license if he so elects.
The wholesale license is granted to
those who deal in general merchandise,
and is correctly limited to sales in orig
inal packages.
If provision is made for the dealer or
jobber to sell from the bottle up, I'M
der the retail license there can be no
reason that such licenses be granted to
grocers or druggists. The liquor bust
ness hould be kept absolutely apart as
it is then more perfectly subject to po-
lice supervision. San Francisco, rec
ognized universally as a wide open"
city, is using strong efforts to get rid
of the liquor license to corner groceries,
which have become a nuisance or near
ly every street corner. If large grocers
are granted liquor license, Their is not
any reasonable ground to refuse small
er concerns. l mention this because
understand that strong efforts are and
will be made by a firm of prominent
grocers to obtain licenses to sell by the
bottle, and l believe this concession, if
made, would cause endless trouble, for
the reason that all would want the
same privilege, and as a matter of fact
it would be much better If the liquor
business We're entirely handled as a
separate interest.
