BUuBLE TAXATION.
Eighth We deplore both unequal
and double taxation rs being unjust
alld in violation Of the spirit Of the
constitutional requirement that each
person and corporation shall conlri-
bale biz proportion towards The ex-
pense " government. We recommend
lhat such measures be adopted by the
next Legislature as vail relieve Us Of
these evils.
FAIR TRIAL foR LOCAL OPTION Law.
Ninth: We rejoice that under the
local option law the great majority Of
the people Of Vermont have continued
b. demonstrate their enduring devotion
10 The sound principles Of temperance
aud sobriety. This law which brings
directly to the people of each town or
city the question whether they shall
have prohibition or the licensed sale Of
intoxicating liquor should be given n
further trial.
THK SEED or BETTER ROADS.
Tenth. We recognize that our high
ways are primarily for the conduct OF
the business affairs OF the people Of the
state, and we pledge our adherence
TO progress in their improvement, IN
their methods Of construction and IN
the continuance Of state appropriation
therefor. We recognize that under
the present law some of the funds OF
the state are wasted in ill-directed
temporary repairs and upon portions
Of highways that are not thorough
fares; we therefore, recommend that
the legislature provide some means Tor
the better supervision Of the expendl'
ture OF this fund and the establishment
of lines Of highways upon which the
same is to be expended, that thereby
there may be an increase in the yearly
aggregate Of permanently improved
highways.
JUDICIARY REFORM.
Eleventh: We recommend that the
next Legislature give careful attention
to the ACCESSIBILITY Of recognizing our
Judiciary system,

Twelfth: We recommend uniform
system Of municipal accounting.
DEVELOPMENT OF vERMoNT's RE
SOURCES.
Thirteenth: We rejoice that steps
have already been taken by our state
in the important question OF forest
preservation. We believe the future
Of our commonwealth depends in no
small way upon the replanting of our
waste lands with trees. We believe
the state should recognize this fact
and the further provision should be
made 10 induce private capital to take
up this great work.
VERMONT AS A RESORT.
Fourteenth: We request our sena-
tors and representatives in Congress
10 urge the passage of the White
Mountain Forest Reservation bill and
further TO seek national aid toward
rcforesting the watersheds in our own
state which benefit the streams of the
Commonwealth
We believe that the time has come
when our people should adopt methodi-
cal measures TO draw attention TO the
attractions of our state as resort, aud
we recommend Legislative action TO
this end.
REBATE EVILS,
Fifteenth: We are in hearty sym
paihy with the great battle being
fought by the Republican party in
behalf Of the people against the evil Of
rebate fayoratism and discrimination
in interstate commerce. We are in
favor. by proper state legislation. of
protecting the people Of the state
against like evils within the state in
non -iniersiate commerce.
