split bedpost in two, then pulling
up a carpet, tearing up a threshold

ROOSEVELT ON WEALTH.
Former President Says Taxation of
Large Fortune Is a Healthy Gov.
ernmentai Policy.

New York, July 15.-Sternly de-
nouncing predatory millionaires,
and adjuring the government to
regulate wealth, ex-President
Roosevelt in a copyrighted edito-
rial in the current Outlook favors
an Inheritance tax as a partial So
luton of the problem of the con-
centration of wealth in America.
He says: 1.-THE worst of all is great
poverty and great riches, side by
side. in constant contrast. Never
theless, even this contrast can be
accepted if men are convinced that
riches are accumulated as the result
of great service rendered to the
people as a whole and if the use is
regulated in the interest of the
whole community.
"a movement to secure adequate
supervision should be effective. Tax
alton of large fortunes is healthy
one. 1t aims to replace sullen dis
content. restless pessimism. and
evil preparation for revolution by
aggressive, healthy determination
to get at the bottom of our troubles
and remedy them. The multi-mil-
lionaire is not. per Sc, healthy de-
velopment in this country. If his
fortune rests on a basis of wrong
doing he is a far more dangerous
criminal than the types Of ordinary
criminals can be. II his fortune is
the result of great service rendered,
we'll and good, but when the for
tune is passed on to some one else
who has not rendered service, then
the nation should impose a heavily
graded progressive Inheritance tax,
a singularly wise and unobjection-
able kind of tax. it would be a par
ticularly good thing if the tax bore
heaviest on absentees."

he escaped June s and on June 1S
was returned as a result of the eff

PROFIT SHARING PLAN.
Harvester Trust tn Extend IL to
$4,000 Employees.

Chicago, July 15.-Wtih view to
establishing permanency in the
organization of 10000 or more en-
ployees and officers, and to en-
courage in the men an added inter-
est in the affairs of the corporation
and a greater incentive to give their
best work, and also to instill the
principles of saving in the men, the
International Harvester Company
has announced a comprehensive
plan of proft-sharing with it's en-
ployees. The plan is similar TO
that instituted some time ago by
the United States Steel Corpora
ton, and provides for a subscrip-
ton to the stock of the company by
the employees, to be paid for by in
stalments taken from their wages.
The finance committee, under
whose direction the plan for the
subscription has been worked out,
has set aside 1880 shares of the
preferred stock and $4,000 shares of
the common stock Of the company,
the former being offered employees
at $115 share, which is under the
present market price, and the COM
mon stock is offered at SIS share,
or about $40 under the market. The
employees may pay for the stock in
installments of not less than $3.50
a share month for the preferred
and 81 2 month for the common.
but may not pay installments
amounting to more than % per cent
of t'tir wages nor subscribe to
moH shares than would equal at
the rate which they pya, more than
their annual wages or salary.

NEWS OF VERMONT.
Continued from page two.)

In a severe thunder shower late
Thursday afternoon lightning struck
a large barn on what Is known as
the Sheldon place, of Windsor, about
three miles below the village near
the Connecticut river, and the fire
which resulted caused a loss Of
about $4,000, only a small part of
which is covered by insurance. The
fire was discovered by George Bates
who works on the farm, and he Sc
cured the assistance of neighbors.
They succeeded in saving several
farm wagons and farming imple-
ments, but were unable to cope
with the flames. Forty tons of hay,
which had been harvested within a
few days, was burned, and several
loads Of phosphate, in addition to a
number of farming tools which
could not be saved. The building
was completely destroyed. 1t was
the property of Myles Hemmenway.
who also owns the farm adjoining.
On Investigation of the circum-
stances connected with the fire
which partially destroyed a build
ing owned by Max Meyers at West
Rutland on Saturday, July 10, it
has been learned that it was set by
some one. The loss at the fire was
about $1,000. The blaze started at
2 o'clock in the morning in the rear
of an outbuilding, underneath one
of the stills, and was located in a
place where it could not have start
ed without having been purposely
set, accsrding to statements made
by Sheriff E. G. Fish, who, with
Deputy Sheriff P. H Patten, has
been investigating the case for sew
eral days. Sheriff Fish has stated
that Myers is known to have several
bitter enemies, and that this is be-
lieved to be an act of one Of the en-
emies. He stated that as yet here
has been nothing in the investiga-
lions which would warrant an ar
rest. Mr.. Myers also recently lost
a horse under suspicious circum-
stances.

INDORSED BY PRESIDENT ELIOT
Distinguished Educator Comments
Middlebury's Department Of Ped

Middlebury, July 16.-President
John NJ. Thomas of Middlebury Col
lege has received fromm ex-Presi-
dent C. W. Eliot, of Harvard, an in
dorsement of Middlebury's depart
ment of pedagogy as established by
the state. DR.. Eliot writes: at is
clear to my mind that the request
which Middlebury College addressed
to the legislature of Vermont was
a reasonable one, and that the edu-
cational interests of the state will
be greatly promoted in an econom-
ical way by the granting Of the an
nual appropriation which the col
lege asked for. Will you kindly tell
me if I can. at this late day, do any,
thing to further your enterprise? |
hope that it will not be necessary to
set up separate school of peda-
gogy, but only a department, like
the department of classics or the
department of physics. Young men
who are to be principals of high
schools ought to have a good col
lege training, with some special in
struction in pedagogy"
The plan outlined for the work in
,o1o"ogv is that which President
Eliot here suggests.
