of the last things to be considered.
If this office were removed from
local politics, and the money raised
by town taxation were expended in
the town by commissioner APP
pointed by the State or County Com
missioner, and under expert super
vision there can be no doubt but
that results would be vastly better.
At the present time very large
amount of the highway taxes is not
wisely and economically expended.
The same amount of money spent
under the direction of trained men
will accomplish more than double
what it now accomplishes in un-
trained hands.
1t is time that we took hold of the
road problem in a business like man
ner, taking it entirely out of politics
and making every dollar expended
count Cor it's full value We may diff
fer over the ACCESSIBILITY of stone or
gravel construction, over the wisdom
of bonding the State for better high
ways, but it ought to be possible for
all to agree on the necessity of eff
cient supervision.

COL. JACOB DAVIS, PIONEER.

1t would be a very fitting recopni-
ton OF the services of the first per-
manent settler, and the most distin-
guished of the early citizens of Mont
pelier, If memorial tablet in honor
OF Col Jacob Davis were to be erect
Cd at some suitable place in the
City Hall.
Colonel Davis was a native of Ok.
lord, Mass, an officer in the Ameri-
can Revolution, and tradition saws
that he was one of the immortal
band who crossed the Delaware with
Washington Dec. 20, 1916, to attack
the Hessians at Trenton, N. ]. He
became prominent resident of
charlton, Mass, and soon after the
close of the war, with another man
purchased and fitted up building in
Leicester, Mass, for select biob
school. This was known later &c
Leicester Academy. Early in 1880
colonel Davis purchased some wild
lands IN the new State of Vermont
ana was active in procuring a char
ter for new town which, it is said
ne named Montpelier. In January.
1885, Colonel Davis entered the town
with surveying party and laid ont
the first division of lands. In the
spring OF 1887 he disposed of his
property in Massachusetts, and re-
moved to Brookfield, Vt. On May 4.

within the past decade. Influences
have been born and dormant influence
revived and stimulated that are
steadily making for more changes
still. There is no spectacular revo-
luton going on here, but there is
steady revolution from good, through
better to best, and that's all anybody
need ask of Vermont under present
conditions.
Progress is we'll under way again,
after a considerable period of appre-
ciable quiescence. And progress
means going somewhere. n progress
is not taking us out of the "old" Or
der of things into a new" order Of
things, then the esteemed Journal
must find another name for progress,
too, because it isn't the same kind of
progress that mother used to make"
If the Messenger may be permitted
to do so, it will suggest, in all good
spirit with it's contemporaries of
dissenting view, that there has been
a considerable amount of melancholy
sentimentalizing about discreditingt
our ancestors and their noble deeds
hurled at this proposition that we
want something new" in Vermont.
1t seems to this paper that the idea
of our regretful friends is about Jas
responsible as the proposition that
the typewriter is a contemptuous and
insulting reputation of the goose
quill pen with which the grand old
charter of our liberties was sigrrd
by the fathers.
But let us have no quarrel over the
name by which new" conditions
shall be hoped for or shall be known.
They are new" to us today; they
will be "old" to our children. And
somebody in that generation will
want TO put something new" in
place of many of them. And will If
our ambitious spirits survive to ad-

sons and daughters on the old

VERMONT HIGHWAYS,

The Groton Times, in it's current
issue says: Trunk line highways
would be a good thing but unless they
are built and maintained by the
State would prove a failure for the
reason that towns cannot put more
money on the highways without be-
ing doubly debt burdened. 1t has be-
come a serious question with nearly
all towns in the State to maintain
their highways and schools. If we
nave trunk line highways let the
state build and maintain them"
The Journal agrees with the Times
that the system of trunk line high
ways must be under State control if
1t is to be carried out successfully
such control is necessary not only
because the towns unaided are not
financially able to build such roads.
but also because the town road COM
ihissloners, as a rule, are not COM
petent TO plan or construct these
permanent highways.
The value of trunk line system of

ments are familiar to most of Our

PRESS COMMENT
What the Newspapers of Vermont and
Other States Are Saying About
Topics of Interest to Journal
Readers.
THE INCOME TAX.
(Rutland News.)


The News has often referred to
the objections to the proposition that
tax be levied on incomes. Such a
tax, if fairly collected, would involve
double taxation, and it is not equit-
able that citizens should be taxed
twice on the same property-taxed,
for instance, on real estate and again
on the income from the real estate.
But an income tax would not be
fairly collected. Gladstone said that
the effect of the English income tax
was to make England a nation of
liars. An income tax is inquisitorial,
and contrary to the spirit of the Am
erican people.
The personal property tax in this
country has proved an utter failure.
People who have much personal
property refuse to tell the truth
about it. In practice, the personal
property tax bears with undue Sc
verify upon those who have only a
little, that cannot be hid. The poor
i
music teacher pays the tax on her
piano, but the great bulk of personal
property is not declared and not dis
covered. An income tax would fall
upon all salaried men with salaries
large enough to leave margin for
taxation, but huge incomes made by
spectators would be likely to pay
very little in proportion to their size.
OF course there would be efforts
to obviate this disparity by strenu-
Gus investigation. This is where the
inquisitorial feature of the income
| tax would come in. There would be
an army of prying office holders
whose salaries would have to be
paid, eating up a considerable part
of the proceeds of the tax. The fact
that an income tax would be unduly
expensive to collect is enc of the ar
guments against it.
To meet the objections of those
who object that an income tax would
be found III practice to operate, as
| the personal property tax has oIcr-
ated, in laying disproportionate
burden upon those least able to pay
it, and upon the few more honest than
the average, who, for conscience's
sake, fully disclose their affairs, it is
proposed that the tag shall be grad
uated. M: TX it progressively h. ANY

THE NEW" VERMONT.
(St. Adams Messenger.)


The Montpelier Journal revives
what at one time a few years ago
was a more or less familiar contro-
versy as to the propriety of the
name New Vermont" by which the
Messenger sought to characterize the
forward movement then developing in
this Safe after a considerable period
of more or less popular inactivity,
not to say Indifference, about many
matters of civic progress. Every
student of public affairs in this State
old enough to have been eye witness
of the trend of life in the common
wealth for the greater part of the
time after the Civil War up to within
a comparatively few years ago,
knows that there were at least two
decades in that interval in which
Vermont gave little outward mani
festation of an ambition to better
her conditions along the lines that
some of her sister States were ac-
lively pursuing. Such times of ap-
parent quiescence and contentment
in the present recur with something
like regularity in the history of ev-
cry people everywhere and are pecu-
liarly likely to follow such unusual
periods of tremendous activity as a
fearful war much in the nature of the
inevitable reaction that follows Pc
RODS of intense stress in the lesser
affairs of life. Looking back upon
that period now and contrasting it
with the somewhat remarkable ac-
tivity in social, political, and indus
trial life that has followed it, some
of us are more likely at this time to
be convinced that we of Vermont
were laggard in those days than We
were when we were in the midst of
of them.
Elsewhere in this paper will be
found what the Journal has to say
on this subject and the reasons why
it believes the Messengers phrase
is not well chosen. The Journal,
however, is generous enough to con-
cede that there have been many and
important changes Vermonts pol
icy and polity since that phrase was
raised as a rallying cry, and that
most of those changes have been for
the better. So that, when the pres
ent issue Is reduced to it's simplest
terms, it is, merely, that a welcome
child has been born and we are only
disagree as to what we shall call
1t.
This is better, far better than some
contemporaries used to do back in
those years when the Messenger &C.
casionally presumptuously broke the
self-satisfed silence that so often
brooded over public affairs here and
ventured a little chirp about the ne
cessity for fixing things up a bit here
and there.
Those We're the brave old DAYS
when Walls of wrath by the dozens
and by the case would be un-
corked over the Messengers luckless

CIVIC BEAUTY.

The Windsor Journal spoke truly
when it said in a recent issue:
There is nothing so attractive in
New England as the well kept coun-
try village, nothing that SO reflects
the standard of citizenship of the
municipality where such conditions
prevail
Every village can keep up a pre-
sentable appearance and its accom-
plishment can be brought about with
very little effort and at no expense
whatever. Several of Vermont's vii
lagos are devoting a few days each
year toward adding something new
