FRANK B. HOWE, Editor and Publisher

If there is a sincere desire on the
part OF the people of Vermont to do
something for the national guard in
stead of providing an opportunity for
few more officers to acquire the IT,
tie of colonel through appointment as
aides to the governor, 1t might be well
to open the heart of the common
wealth, and the treasury likewise, for
the benefit of the enlisted men. Only
a comparatively few who enter in the
service of the state militia can ever
expect to wear shoulder straps for
there are only three commissions for
each company. Ever since the Span
ish-American war knocked the foolish
ness out of the national guard, ser
vice in the state militia has been
growing to be a more serious, bust
ness-like and Woodworking affair.
There is every reason to believe
that these latter-day Characters
tics will be more in evidence
in the future than they are
at present and in order that the
right kind of young men inducements
of some nature will be necessary. In
this connection it is opportune to call
attention to the recent disbanding of
companies that had fallen below the
required standard.

Taxing BAGGAGE Checks.

The Mortified News has published
very temperate and judicious ans
wer to the Herald's tax platform,
which appears elsewhere on this page.
Certain parts of it may be taken up
later. but the general answer is that
the Heralds proposal is to tax all
property once and only once. The
plan of the News seems to be to tax
rich mans property twice simply be
cause he is rich. Examine 1t careful
ly and that is the final point of arriy
al
All men must be treated alike In an
equitable system of taxation. All
their property should be taxed, but
by no sort of hocus-pocus can il be
made right to tax any ones property
twice, simply because some one
thinks he is rich enough to stand It.
Rich and poor are one in the eyes Of
the law.
DR.. w. Stanford Stevens Of ST. AL
bans who has given this subject
some thought, gives even a more strik-
ing illustration of the unfairness OF
this species of double taxation when
he says. in an address before the
commission on double taxation, the
following:
| have a trunk at railroad station
valued at $1,000. l have a paper tag
in my pocket with a number on It,
showing that | am the owner OF that
trunk. Does the lister when he sees
The trunk say to himself, there Is
$1,000 of property that is taxable and
then come to me and say, you have
a paper tag in your pocket, and tax
me another $1,000 on IT,
And yet the attempt to tax the
railroad what the state says Is fair
amount and then tax the owners or
part owners of that railroad again on
their bonds in that property is not
one whit better or more reasonable
than attempting to tax Dr. Stevens
baggage check for his $1,000 trunk
II It is right to tax the evidence
of ownership, let us have law TO
tax the baggage check which proves
that the doctor owns $1,000 trunk

around trying to bring order out OF
choas in the state can bulge the gold
democrats. Even IL Mr.. Hill should
be induced TO listen TO the urging of
Connors and come out to the fore
front of the campaign It would not
lessen their indifference-perhaps hos
tility is the better wOrd-to Mr.. Bry-
an. The proposal to push Mr.. Hill in
to the ring again has caused a lot of
laughing in political circles. The
proposal is characteristic OF the blum
dering Of Connors
Mr.. Taft on the other hand. has al
ways been close to the hearts of the
republicans, and also OF many OF the
democrats OF the state. They like
him down to the ground. He Is the
kind of man that the electorate OF
New York would take to, naturally,
fond as they are of men of accomplish
ment Of men who do things. When.
ever he spoke in public In New York
before he became a candidate he has
been listened TO by OVERLOOKING aud
fences. He strengthened himself inn
mensely especially among the work
ing mon. by his frank. straightforward
thorough and satisfactory explanation
OF his position on labor matters az
Cooper Union last winter.
The republican leaders, too, are UNI
tied In their admiration and loyalty
to Mr. Taft State pride aside. Mr..
Taft in reality was the choice OF the
republicans before the convention
His refusal TO contest the delegates
with Mr. Hughes evoked widespread
and favorable comment Up state he
is regarded as the man best fitted TO
carry on Mr. Roosevelt's work Taft
rallies. big and enthusiastic meetings
are being held nightly in Buffalo, Roc.
hester Syracuse, Elmira, Albany. Troy
and other centers Of pop
ulation. as well as In New York
All OF the talk OF the likelihood OF
Mr.. Hughes failing to run head with
the national ticket comes from outside
OF the state. not from within Il. Mr..
Hughes yields nothing In popularity
and strength as n candidate to any
man who has run for governor on the
republican ticket for decades. The
quality Of the opposition TO him can
be determined and It's power analysed
by a brief consideration OF the sources
from which Il comes. The race track
men and 10 a limited extent the liz
uor interests are vociferously talking
against him. No newspaper OF con-
sequence In the state, barring two or
three, are preaching Chanler against
Hughes. and the tone OF their lauda-
lions Of the democratic candidate are
perfunctory Most OF the men whom
one hears In the hotel corridors, sal.
oons and on the street corners argu-
ing against Hughes are men who are
non residents. race track followers.
who haven't q vote and who do not
control votes.
As yet there has been little betting.
which Is almost an invaluable index TO
the outcome OF election, particularly
In this city. where the betting game
and the odds and chances on the can
dldates are based upon inside infor-
nation and calculated to a nicely.
What wagers have been posted have
been In favor OF Taft and Hughes at
odds ranging from . 10 to to /.
Mr. Hoarsts determination to cam.
paim vigorously against Chanler will
not help the democratic candidate any.
Mr. Hughes will reap the beneh, OF
the editors activities.

ROOTS VISIT CAUSES FURRY
Rumor That Treasurer Sheldon Was
Not Holding Up His End.

New York. Oct. 3-When II was re-
ported here yesterday that Secretary
of State Elihu Root had visited repub-
liean national headquarters here last
Wednesday and made close inquiries
regarding the working of the various
departments under the national com.
mittee, tiutter of excitement was
caused in political circles. The re.
port went forth that Secretary Root
had been sent here by President
Roosevelt because the president was
not satisfied with the manner in
which the campaign was being con-
Quoted Secretary Root was credited
with having returned to Washington
and there expressing the conclusion
that National Treasurer Sheldon was
to blame for the tagging in the cam
paign, he having left 10 Chairman
Hitchcock much Of the business that
should have been disposed OF by the
treasurer's department.
Treasurer Sheldon was not at his
Office this afternoon but his assist
ant, George Terry, said that the
treasurer's department had no reply
to make to the reports.
Mr.. Hitchcock invited Mr.. Root to
national headquarters to meet the
various head of departments and
such members of the executive com
mittee as were in the city. Mr.. Root
went to headquarters later in the
day. but il is stated that his visit
was entirely informal and that he
made no inquiries as TO the working
of any of the departments.
Washington, Oct 3.-Secretary
Root was at the White House last
night, where he was in conference
with President Roosevelt until mid.
night. Regarding the report that he
was in New York on Wednesday to
look into the state of affairs at repub-
lican headquarters, he said that he
had merely paid an informal call up
on Chairman Hitchcock. Asked
whether the report was true that he
had said Mr.. Sheldon was responsible
for the way the campaign was tagging
Mr.. Root said he made no such state
ment to any one.
