Greed and Rapacity Of Ring.

Rapacious because in % years moi
one measure has been passed which re-
lieyed the burden from the taxpayer
or helped the condition Of the laboring
man.
Rapacious because the necessary Of,
fees Of the state have not been suffi-
Gent 70 satisfy their craving for place
and patronage, and useless commissions
have been multiplied for their benefit.
Rapacious because no vermonter may
now enter public life without being con-
fronted BY these political highwaymen
and threatened with defeat unless their
demands are COMPLIED with.
Rapacious because when confronted
with q widespread demand for reform
and retrenchment, they take cowardly
refuge in cry for the support Of the
Grand Old Party This simply means

No Relief for Taxation.

The sham plank Of the Republican
platform in regard to double taxation
is exposed in all its rottcnness By the
standard bearer Of the machine, Fletcher
u. Proctor who declares Gin regard to
taxation) that vermont's way compares
well with the most modern methods in
c,ner states. This crying evil has been
called to the attention Of the machine
more than once. Gov. Grout called for
commission to inquire into measures
Of relief. In the following term com
mission was appointed, which cost the
state a large sum Of money. The sole
result OF their labor was "a pages of
printed matter now filed among the
dusty archives of the state. No measure
Of public Importance tending toward
reform has ever been fathered by the
Republican machine.

II has come to my attention that a
systematic attempt is being made to
carry the state Of Vermont for the Re-

that the managers of the ring campaign

DOUBLE TAXATION imposes the
most serious burden on the Vermont
farmer. The home-maker struggles for
years against the double load of debt
and unjust taxes, then abandons the
struggle and goes into some other hne Of
work. Abandoned farms, discouraged
men and women prematurely aged fol-
low after double taxation.
Governors have recommended, com
missions have reported and the whole
useless programme Of machine indih'er-
ence has been carried out. Result? Moth
ing but an added inch TO the red pyra
mid. The Republican platform Of this
year had a feeble little plank on double
taxation and yet Mr., Proctor says:
@No solution better than the present has
been reached"
This means that no relief from this
intolerable burden can be hoped for or
expected under machine rule.
Fusion Offers definite remedy:
Allow the owner Of real estate to of
set the amount Of his mortgage against

the town where it is recorded.

GOOD ROADS mean more TO the

through the various towns in the state
not by bonding, not By disturbing the
