called fusion ticket has been rugged up
in Chittenden county. chiefly at the
instance of present incumbents who
want TO hold over. Washington coun.
ty Democrats and local optionists met
in joint conference last week and
united on list OF county officials.
The nominee for srst senator has since
declined to stand, being regular
Republican, and others prominently
considered as candidates took care to
forestall such action by having at hand
letters OF declination to be read if the
threatened lightning actually descend
ed. From the celebrity shown in get
ting out of the way, it is fair to pre-
sumo that fusion candidates in that
county have little reason for conf
dence. Besides the fusion ticket in
Rutland county, there has been filed a
labor ticket, gotten up by the agitated
union element OF Rutland city who
were dissatisfied with the representa-
ton given them on the other tickets,
and the fusion ticket has also been
filed as an independent ticket, so that

predicted, get used TO the new machin'
after short introduction, as they die
to the bicycle. This is especially tru'
in rural communities where autos cal
never be numerous enough to famil
iarize horses with them and wher'
there is nothing else, as in the cities
to distract the animals attention. A
horse once frightened by the auto can
not be relied on 10 mend It's ways
thereafter. The danger of runaway
is always at hand when a horse of any
degree of excitability meets one o.
these putting machines on the rura
highways, and this danger will moi
pass after a brief period, for reasons
above given.
What, then, is to be done? We dc
not profess TO know how far legisla.
ton can 90 toward restricting the use
of the auto on public highways. The
common idea is that the highways
cannot be forbidden to the use OF any
form of vehicle whatever that answers
the purpose OF locomotion or transport
tatlon. This may be an error. We
very much doubt whether railroad
locomotive, if it took to the highways
and went snorting along, virtually
driving team traffic off altogether,
could not, by legal enactment, be ruled
OF itself. So it is possible that an act
forbidding the use OF highways in
rural sections to automobiles might be
sustained, and even more likely an act
setting apart certain highways only
for the use Of autos, where they might
run under proper regulation, leaving
other highways for the use OF team
traffic.
Or, instead, if no other better plan
is suggested, automobiles might be
subject to license fee, the proceeds
TO constitute fund from which those
who suffer injury to property orperson
by reason thereof might be recon-
pensed, as sheep owners now are from
the dog license funds, without the
necessity Of going TO law.
Some better assurance there ought
to be that when the farmer, busy at
haying, sends his wife or boy to cream.
cry or store, the outfit will not be
wrecked and maybe bodily injury
result from an encounter with this
late invader of the highways.

THE SUBWAY TAVERN.

"Bishop Potter's saloon is the title
popularity given to business venture
in New York city, the establishment OF
which has caused a great deal OF COM
ment. Certain gentlemen, among
them the bishop OF the Episcopal do
cese of New York, have associated
themselves together to give financial
and moral backing to what they call
the Subway Tavern. 1t is a place
where liquid refreshments of all kinds
from soda water to lager beer and
"hard stuff are served. The premises
are fitted up with nice furnishings.
and everything is clean and neat.
There are quarters for rest and recrea-
ton, music and games, reading and
study. II is. in effect. a club where
men and women ofall classes who be-
have themselves are welcome.
The founders start with the PROPOSE
ton before them that in New York
city there are $4,000 drinking places,
and that the saloon is there to stay.
Their effort is to conduct a model sa-
loon, II such term can be used, where
the surroundings attending the pur-
chase and drinking of liquors shall be
such as 10 uplitt, instead OF to degrade.
These men cannot be classed as hum
bugs or hypocrites. They do not en-
gage in this business to make
money or notorety, but to try an exper-
iment. The shafts of criticism aimed
at them, especially at Bishop Potter.
must strengthen their determination.
This Subway Tavern is a social
study. The common view has been
that the saloon should be eombated
by all the elements of virtue and mo-
rality, and that temporizing is sin.
So, while in New York city, for in
stance, nothing has really been ac-
complished in all these years in the
way OF extirpating the saloon and the
future holds no promise that such a
happy issue win come, there has been
no attempt at saloon reform. The IL |
quor traffic has been turned over alto |
gether to the lowest order of men. in
the hope, apparently, that under their
hands it would do such injury to hui
manity as to bring about its over

A REMEDY.

A discussion has recently taken
place in the columns OF the st. Adams
Messenger on the question of relief
from the generally admitted wrong of
double taxation Of mortgaged real es-
tate. Fuller c Smith OF st. Adams saws,
"A solution that does not bring more
evils upon the state than It takes away
has not yet been found. Farmer
writes TO the Messenger, 81 believe that
no one can successfully dispute the
claim that if ever this wrong is righted
II will be along the line suggested by
ex-Gov. f. c. Smith, an equitable
division Of taxation between mort
gagor and mortgage, according TO
the interest each holds in the property
in question" f. ~ Bacon of Chelsea
takes issue with both. He disputes
Mr.. Smiths claim, and offers a remedy
that he says win not bring more evils
than It takes away. lie outlines his
theory and shows wherein it excels
that proposed by Farmer In brief.
Mr.. Bacon's plan, as given heretofore
IN this paper, is that real estate should
be subject 20 Offset for debts owing
precisely as personal property is now.
These three correspondents ably
and fairly represent three classes
among Vermont's citizenship in their
attitude toward this great theme.
Starting from the common point of
agreement that the law we have is
wrong, they diverge at once into diff
ferent paths. One OF them gives the
solution up as hopeless. ANY change
would be change for the worse. he
holds. The other two do not adopt
tits view, but undertake to solve it.
each in his own way. Mr.. Bacon goes
on at length to demonstrate how very
faulty Farmers" remedy is, and I'M
questionably establishes the superiority
OF his own plan, both on the ground
OF theory and in practical operation.
But the effect OF such a wide diver
gence of opinion is to confound and
bewilder the average voter, even the
average legislator, and after puz-
zling his brain over it he concludes
to wait on in the hope that sometime
somebody will discover some simple
method whose operation can be fore
casted and whose benefcient results
will unite all in its support. For
reasons like these has the settlement
been so long deferred.
Now we very much doubt if divine
revelation win ever point ont the
course to take in this matter. Instead.
Vermont will have to depend upon
such human agencies as it has at
command. The general assembly will
first have to discard Mr.. Smiths con-
clusion, then make bold to adopt the
best apparent solution. Otherwise,
things will remain as they are-with
the admitted error continued. ANY
change will be something in the
nature of experiment, but so is all
legislation. We see no occasion for
shying from the subject, or in hest
tating to follow what judgment indi-
Gates as the best path.

which seems to be based on correct
principles and upheld by facts that
cannot be gainsaid. In onr opinion
his plan promises less disturbance
fewer evils and more blessings than
any other that has yet been offered.
II would leave the holder OF real
estate taxable for whatever actual
value there was in the property,
beyond the amount he was owing for
il. in the town where the real estate
was located. 1t would not alter the
status OF the mortgagor as tax
payer-he would be taxed as he now
is on his mortgage notes in the town
where he resides. It would simply
throw out of the grand list Of the
town in which the real estate lay
whatever the mortgage is now taxed
upon that he does not own. II would
of course reduce that grand list by
that amount. But it would simply
restore it to the level where ordinary
principles OF justice should have left
it at the beginning. Ii would be
righting the wrong simply and direct
ly, without beating around the bush.
1t would mean that all persons would
be taxed according to their wealth,
as the appraisal showed. II would
bring great relief to the burdened
real estate debtor, and a shifting to
other shoulders of taxation long I'M
justly lightened by his excessive load.
II would place real estate and per-
sonal property on an exact par, as
they ought to be, without the present
unfair discrimination against the for
mer. 1t would encourage young men
TO buy farms and make homes who
now shrink at the burden of taxation
that confronts them.
The chief-almost the only-ob-
lection that can be leyeled against
this solution is that, by reducing the
grand list, it would increase the tax
rate, and that would be unsatisfactory
70 the mass OF taxpayers. Naturally
this would follow. But il the people
could only be made to see how, in
fairness 10 those so long oppressed,
they should assume part OF the burden
they have so long evaded. we be-
lieve their own sense Of justice would
lmpel them to submit without protest.
The slight increase in tax rate made
necessary by this change would mean
very little when scattered among the
whole taxpaying body. 1t would not
Cypress anybody, for ii would rest on
those having the means and the ability
easily to bear 1t, instead as now on
the debt-ridden class.
The broad principle that a man
should be taxed on what he owns
above what be owes. whether his
property is real or personal, is one

ieally applied. Whatever temporary
disturbance might follow the placing
