Now it " i'll be seen that A, in both
towns, owns nothing hut real estate, and
is the only one that is justly taxed uncer
this discriminating plan. All the others
have the same wealth and the same real
estate and should pay an equal tax, bat
in Chelsea they are taxed on an inersas-
ing grand list and an increasing tax bur
den, while in Randolph, ii IS a decreas-
ing tax, until ID is exempt from all tax
burden whatever, and is ten dollars bet
ter off than il nc tax had been assessed
upon his property at all. Keep in mind
that he owns the same value OF real es-
tate, the same value of personal property
and is owing the same as ID of Chelsea,
who is yet suffering under double taxa
ton.
Taxes, like tariff, increase value and
destroy value, and tax law that will in
crease the value of property in a wealthy
town by decreasing the tax so as to make
a tax source of income, and work in
versely in towns where land is low and
taxes are high, is the most dangerous tax
law for Vermont that could be invented.

S250,0OO INCREASE
Quarter Of a Million in Deposits Gained
in Seven Months.
SUCCESS OF PAGES BANK
The LamoilIe County Savings Bank and
Trust Company Has Passed the
Million and Quarter Mark.
(From the Burlington Free Press


The town of Hyde Park is credited
with population OF less than 800, yet
its bank is one OF the big banks OF the
state of Vermont. This is another case
of 'sthe man behind the gum" for the re-
suit is due to the connection of the Hon.
G. S. Page with the Ismoille County Saw
ings Bank and Trust Company. Governor
Page has given much time and thought
to this bank and has every reason to be
proud not only of its remarkable growth
but still more OF its reputation. This
bank makes the undisputed claim that in
some twenty years it has not Iost dollar
by bad loan, that it does not own a
doubtful note and that now and for TWEEN
ty years it has invested all its money in
Vermont loans. This record speaks well
for this state when business has been
conducted so wisely that neither panic
nor initiation has caused those borrowing
from the Hyde Park bank to fail to meet
all obligations.
.sHow did Page do it?" That question
interests not only other bankers but all
business men. The answer is by liberal
use of printers ink in advertising and by
backing up his advertising by delivering
the goods. His style of advertising is a
different style, perhaps less dignified, yet
never in bad taste. His announcements
emphasize the point that any money de-
posted in this bank will be loaned in
Vermont and will benefit the depositor
not only directly by interest earned but
also indirectly by aiding to develop YER
mont. This argument has doubtless
brought thousands OF dollars to Hyde
Park, but the money would not have been
sent il the deposition had not bad conf
dence in Mr.. Page and If the liberal use
OF newspaper advertising had not brought
the Page bank to the favorable notice of
the public. The people OF Vermont are
thrifty and prosperous, very little affect
ed on the whole by the recent panic and
able and willing to put large sums of
money where they think that it will be
safe and will pay fair interest.
The same methods and reputation that
has brought deposits OF one and quarter
million to the Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust Company will doubtless
double this sum in time less than was
required to get the first three hundred
thousand dollars.
A good bank is one of the most useful
institutions in building up community.
Ex-Governor Page has not builded for
himself alone in making this bank
strong. Its strength is the measure of its
power for useful service in building up
the state. May the time soon come when
its present deposits shall be doubled and
may Mr.. Page be on hand to guide Its ad
ministration.

No Poesy in Saturdays Rain.

There IL something beautiful and poetic
in q heavy snowfall. Even when II inn
poses much labor and innumerable in
convenience. there is something about IL
which appeals to the imagination, and
much has been written about the lowell
ness of the winter landscape, with its
snowy covering. But when a rainfall
turns the deep snow to siush, az occurred
on Saturday last, nothing poetic remains
about the landscape or the situation. IL
is all prose, and extremely unpleasant
prose at that. The same people who
have waxed eloquent over the snow seem
unable to refer to il except with 'sbig,
big Dr. when the rain has fallen on IL for
two or three hours. Ono doesn't seem
able TO "dream dreams and see visions
while Establishing through il as one can
while Flooding through snow-or rather
the dreams and visions are OF quite diff
ferert character. Uneasy premoDitions
of flooded cellars; anxious forebodings of
bridges carried down stream; dismal GER
tainties OF inundated chicken yards;
moist snticipstions of standing ankle
deep in slush and hoeing little canals as
outiets for the water from the dooryard,
arise 10 confront the traveller.
And, alas! they mostly came true Sat-
urdsy. Brooks swelIed and overlooked
the roads in many places and bare hill
tops appeared in surprisingly short
time. The rain, which had been inter
mittent all day, ceased in the late after
noon and those who had been out dig
ging draining bitches were able, like
Uncle Ned, TO ''bang up de shovel and
de hoe'' and turn their attention to other
things. Had the rain continued through
the night, much more damage must have
been done.

The wrinkles are being smoothed out
over in Addison county and by the With
drawaI from the field of Judge Weeks,
Hon. NJ. F. Barnes of Addison is left as
the county's only candidate for lieuten-
ant-governor. Mr.. Barnes has represent
ed his town of Addison in the House, his
county in the Senate, has a fine presence
and g resonant voice, that would enable
him to preside with impressiveness, and,
quite as essential, carries level head on
his shoulders. Addison county has a
good candidate for the place in Barnes.
Another cloud has been removed from the
political sky of Bro. McCuen by the de-
cision of Clerk Hamilton not to seek cleo
tion as delegate to the national conven-
ton, and the Vergennes vermonter will
in all likelihood have special represent
alive on the spot at Chicago.
Says Col. Joseph BattelI in a letter
from Washington to his Middlebury Reg
ister:-
tMr. Hughes name has been men,
toned fayorably before New England
people, rs well as in New York and per-
haps elsew here. Bat it develops that the
president has very strong feeling as TO
no should succeed him, and the more
we lock into it, it IS evident that in Mr..
Taft be las selected very upright, COM
potent and safe man."
Wei, why should the fact that ''the
president has very strong feeling as to
who should succeed him. relieve the
American people from making their own
choice, even il it involves straying away
from the presidents preference? This is
not a monarchy, where an executive
names his successor. We choose our
presidents without regard to any
suggestion from anybody. We may adj
mire the president ever so much; we may
regret that he himself did not sec fit to
run again, but when it comes to accept
ing his ipse dixit in the matter of his sue
cessor, some of us will think twice. Sup
pose that it is evident s'that in Mr.. Taft
lie has selected very upright, competent
and safe man." If there is another man
just as upright, competent and safe
whom the president has not "selected" as
his successor, let the American people
ssselect'' him, if for nothing more than to
show that they do their own selecting,
and take nobody's favorite on his say-so.

within the definition of 'beziue bug
gy" than anything else on wheels. Lew
is received the auto some time ago,
hut one of the parts mad been broken
and he has only just received sab
stitute. The machine, which is the first
seen in this section, although the model
is already rather common in the larger
cities, is called "The Black" There
is no "tonneau," about it, only plain
buggy box, with chest in the back
for the storage of tools, etc. 1t is
mounted on wheels almost as high as
those of the ordinary buggy and its
proud owner reports that it travels
through sand at top speed without the
least trouble, while the high wheels hold
the machinery well above the rocks
and hillcrowns, making it an ideal
machine for this country.
