| Under the present system Irasburg re-
ceived from the state in 1905 S231.23 for
highways, and 1866 "a for schools, more
than it paid to the state, and the state paid
$500 to care for the towns insane pa
tients. Clement would abolish this sys-
tenn. The town now sends representative
to Montpelier. Clement calls this a''rotten
borough system" and would have Iras-
burg lose its identity in the legislature and
become part of a legislative district" In
1900 Senator Clement prevented an in
creased tax on corporations, and fathered
the last state tax ever levied in Vermont.
This saved Mr.. Clements railroad $2S, 1879 "a
in 1901. 1t cost Irasburg $69O.16. Vote for
your towns interest Sept.4.
JAY
jaw has one inmate in Vermont insane
hospitals. His maintenance costs the town
nothing. 1t costs the state about $195 a
year and is paid from the tax on corpora
lions, there being no state tax. II Jay
paid this, as was formerly the case, it would
mean town tax of 14.4 cents on every dol
lar of the grand list. Clement condemns
the present system of caring for the insane.
Do you? II not vote the Republican ticket
