"Hushl"

Take Ceres down from her perch
on the dome of the capitol at Mont
pelier and substitute Harpocrates,
with ais finger on his lips.
The state officials have been look
ing into the condition of the state fl
nances. but the news dispatches tell
us they decline to tell all they know
about it at this time.
Have we. then backslid to the an
Gent regime of the 'hushers?' II
cannot be, Governor Prouty was bold
and frank enough in his utterances on
public questions during the ante-elec-
ton compaign. He was plain and
outspoken enough during the session
of the legislature. There must be
some misunderstanding if he is now to
authorize an administration policy that
declines to let the people know their
own business. The Messenger pre-
fers to await more definite advices.
Once upon time Vermont polite
ians expressed what little religion
they had by setting up likenesses of
Harpocrates, the god vita his finger
on his lips whom our ancient br ethren
used to place before the temples to
remind the common people that there
were mysteries in religion too deep
and too subtle for them to understand
very grave and awful things that only
a few We're permitted to know and no
one to speak agiut. Those were the
days of the "hushers,' the days when
any newspaper that dared to poke it's
pen behind the veil of the sanctuary
All 4
forthwith denounced as "defaming
Vermont and all that kind of thing
Those were the days when men were
taught that it was better to keep quiet
about Vermont's troubles than to
speak the truth about them and try to
get them mended.
Great is Harpocrates of the Yer.
monters!- st. Adams Messenger.

The Burlington Free Press and
Rutland Herald are having joyous
argument over the difference be
tween shortage and a deficit,
brought out by the shortage in the
department of Justice. The truth is
that a shortage in one department
is not a deficit, but it is the first step
toward one. If there is a shortage in
one department thus early there may
be i'm others later and it won't take a
shortage in many to produce a de
felt. 1t is customary for the state
treasurer on July 1 to issue a state
ment showing the condition of the
state finances at the end of the fiscal
year and that should give the real
facts.

LOCAL TAXATION.

Powder Springs school district held
an election on March 2nd to determine
whether said district should levy and
collect local tax for the public schools
in their district to supplement what
they receive from the State. Returns
were made to the Ordinary on March
Sd, whose duty it is to declare the re-
suit of the election. The law ia ex-
plicit and arbitrary as to the reading Of
the tickets voted in elections for the
purpose above named, requiring that
tickets favoring local taxation to read
"For Local Tax alton for Public Schools -
All who do not favor local taxation,
their tickets must read, Against Local
Taxation for Public Schools" Two
thirds of those voting is necessary to
carry the election for taxation.
Owing to the failure of some of the
opponents to the adoption of this meas.
ure to place upon their tickets the Ian.
guage of the statutes as provided, local
taxation for Powder Springs district
will go in force, the Ordinary having
declared the result in favor OF locaI
taxation.
