Where Does MIR. Gibson Stand?

The attitude that E. w. Gibson
takes on the Clement Proctor contro-
versy is puzzling some voters. Mr.
Gibson was nominated for the office of
town representative by the republican
caucus. He also filed nomination pa
pers in order that his name might APP
pear on the official ballot under the
head of the Citizens ticket. Some of
the men who signed his nomination
papers will vote the Fusion ticket. As
a member of the republican state com
mittee and chairman Of the republican
county committee Mr.. Gibson has been
actively engaged in working for the
election of Fletcher D. Proctor for gov
ernor. The caucus which nominated him
as the republican candidate for town
did so with the idea
man. And yet during the past week
it has been said of Mr.. Gibson by
Clement men that in case the guberna-
torial election went into the legislature
and he were a member of that body he
would vote for Percival w. Clement
provided Brattleboro gave Mr.. Clement
a majority. 1t is difficult to conceive
Of member of the republican state
committee making such statement
lnless he did so solely for the purpose
If getting votes. We prefer to believe !

In regard to the question Of taxation
Mr.. Gibson, like all of the ring repub.
leans, says the corporations rightly
bear the burden. just how does he
figure this outi Up to 1904 the law
was such that railroad property was
taxed ON basis of 81 per thousand
with an option of paying 2h per cent.
on the gross income. That the latter
method was cheaper is shown by the
fact that most of the railroad com
panies adopted it. Private property,
on the other hand, is taxed, in Brattle-
boro for instance, at the rate Of about
$l7 on thousand and in many of the
smaller towns the rate is much higher.
In 1904 the tax on railroad property
was raised to $40 but there is still a
big discrepancy in favor of these cor
porations. Under the present system
savings banks and institutions of a
like nature pay nearly half the total
corporation tax. This tax is practi-
cally tax on the deposits of widows
and orphans and members Of the work.

Machine posters urge people to vote
the straight republican ticket because
it means equal taxation. In 1902 the
railroad valuation of the state was
$2s,954,O20. Assuming that railroad
companies paid on the basis of 81 on a
thousand (although they really did mott
their tax would have amounted to
$2O2,67s. If railroad property had been
taxed on the same basis as private
property is taxed in this town the
amount it would have contributed to
the state treasury is $52l,l72. In
other words the people of the state
were cheated out of $3ls, 494 on account
of the machines favoritism to railroad
corporations. Yet Mr.. Gibson says
corporations rightly bear the bur.

President Roosevelt is preparing to take up
in earnest the railroad accident problem
The announcement in his letter to Represen-
tatve Watson that he desires to see congress
enact a law limiting the number of hours of
employment of railroad employees contains
only suggestion of his program. He wishes
congress to enact law requiring every rail
road that does passenger business to install
the block signalling system, and that the
railroads shall be prodded until they comply
fully with the law requiring all freight cars
to be equipped with air brakes With these
three regulations enforced--fewer hours of
labor daily the universal use of the block
signalling system and the universal equip
ment of cars with air brakes-it is believed
that the number of accidents can be reduced.
Possibly other federal regulations may be
suggested. These three are to be applied
first Before congress adjourned Senator La
Toilette succeeded in having his bill limiting
the number of hours of employment made a
special order for the Goth of next January

dents backing it is likely to go through

to which the regular republicans are
going in this campaign. In public they
throw out their chests and predict
landslidcs, earthquakes and all sorts of

their brains in an effort TO learn where
the trouble lies. The canvass which
the republicans have made in town
shows that the cloak of confidence is
covering quaking hearts. Each "street

doubtful II there ever was season more IA

the history OF Minnesota, Iowa and South

vailed over the northwest for the past three
weeks has greatly reduced the yield OF small
grain as estimated on July 30 Much OF the
wheat has been prematurcly ripened and is Of
lower grade than 1t would have been had not
the hot wave shrivelled the kernels. From
200 localities in Minnesota and the Dakotas
the reports are that the yield Of wheat will
not be above the average crop. The best
authorities are now agieed that the thee
states will yield 100000, 600 bushels. Six

same as last year. There viii be rs per
