The engi- neers constructing these railroads had no other material on the route, and found it cheaper to use these seeming extravagances than to import the ordi- nary material.

Dr. Emil G. Hirsch, the, well-known Jewish rabbi of Chicago. says: Lib eral thinkers have discarded the con ception of God as huge being who sits in state enthroned in banks of clouds.
 The idea of God as such a personality, with stick in His right hand and a sugar plum in His left, the one to be used to chastise the bad and the other to reward the good, is not an idea which is accepted by minds which have advanced with the advance of the world. pr. Abbott is following the modern school of liberal thought, and is saying nothing which will come as a surprise to Jewish theologians. While modern theologians hold the same views as pr. Abbott, the ideas are really not new at all, for they were first suggested by Jewish writers 700 years ago. pr.

VERMONI"S STATE EXPEN SEES.

Some of the republican papers which
talked about giving both sides arc pub
fishing for pay and allowing to 80 un
refuted the democratic assertion that the
people Of Vermont are heavily bur1ened
per capita and per family as result Of
the enormous increase il the expenses
of our state government since the DAYS
of 1SS2.
1t is to be noted in the first place that
the burden of taxation for the individual
taxpayer in Vermont for State govern
ment is far less now than it was way
back in the good old days when our
emocratic friends had charge of affairs
in the Green Mountain state in spite
of the multiplication of State institutions
and objects of State support
Under republican legislation and rule
the direct tax for State expenses was
wiped out by the Legislature at its last
session, and the individual taxpayer would
not have paid a cent into the state treas
ury but for the state school and State
road taxes, the proceeds of which merely
passed through the State treasury and
| cities and towns.
| How is the money raised for the pay
mont of the current expenses of our gov
eminent? The corporation taxes and tho
inheritance taxes are the source of tbs
great bulk of Nermmts income, and hui
| for the state and school taxes men;ionot
| the people of Vermont az "A whole wou,C
pay no tax whatever into the State treas
ury. So much for the democratic how
about the burden Of taxation borne l.,
the individual taxpayers of Vermont.
Now why have the expenses of GU
State government increased?
