$1,000 Reward

The persistence and spread of
scarlet fever in this community leads
to the suspicion that light cases are
not reported by heads of households,
and thus allowed to spread infection.
The undersigned will pay ten dol
lars $4,000 reward for evidence
leading to the conviction of any head
of a household or other person named
in the Sec. 5454, Public Statutes of
Vermont, who fails to report as re
quired by law, if such there be.
The penalty is fine of not more
than fifty dollars nor less than $1,000.
And this penalty extends to unreport,
ed cases of whooping cough, diph
iberia, measles, chicken-pox, etc.

President Taft is pledged to the Inheritance
Tax The Republican House had Incorporated
that feature in the pending Tariff bill, and
powerful minority of Republican Senators
if the Democrats would help.
But the Democratic Senators refuse the help.
They will be found voting with the Republi-
cans to tax lumber and other necessaries of
life; they will be found aiding the Steel Trust
and the Standard Oil Company; but they funk
when it comes to helping the Republicans tax
the estates of mllionaires
In Great Britain the Inheritance Tax yields
a revenue of $oo,oooooo per year
We have larger number Of bloated for
tunes in this country than they have in Eng
land, and a properly laid Inheritance Tax
would yield more than $Ioo,ooo,ooo per year.
But the Democratic Senators are determined
that the burden of the national extravaganza
shall continue to be borne by poverty, instead
of wealth.

For An Income Tax.

It is announced that the Democratic Senators
have decided to oppose the Inheritance Tax,
which the Republicans of the House favor, and
to support the Income Tax-Which the SUI
preme Court says is unconstitutional
What a glorious bunch those Democratic
Senators are!
There is no legal difficulty about the Inheri-
lance Tax. A law of that sort would stand
In fact, the Inheritance Tax is in successful
operation in the State of New York, where the
Republicans are in power. If the Democratic
Senators would unite with those Republican
Senators who favor national tax on fortunes
descending to heirs, such a law would be made,
and a portion of the expenses Of Our most
extravagant government would fall on wealth.
But the Democratic Senators represent the
rich, not the poor They can vote Lumber
Trust tariffs which add to the price of all kinds
of lumber, but they balk when it comes to
taxing millionaire estates.
Yet necessity forces them to pretend to want
to tax wealth, and therefore thew say that they
will favor an Income Tax.
They know perfectly we'll that nobody can
frame an effective Income Tax law which will
not be in conflict with the decision already
made by the highest Court in the land.
Hence the essence of the case of the Demo-
cratic Senators is this:
1--WE favor the Income Tax because it
can not amount to anything; at the same
time, the people don't know that, and
we will get the credit for being ready
to compel the nlillionaires help bear the bur-
dens Of taxation,

Who Is To Blame? You Are.


The U. S. Senate is not considerably larger
than it was in the days of Charles Sumner,
L. Q. c. Lamar, Roscoe Conkling and Jas G.
Blaine
One would suppose that Senatorial luxuries
which satisfied Matt Carpenter, Dan VOORHEES,,
William A. Clark and Leland P Stanford
might content the souls of Joe Bailey Bill
Stone, John Daniel, Nelson Aldrich and Steve
Clay.
But no! Times have changed The marble
palace which seemed good in the eyes of
Senators twenty years ago. is now too cramped,
too incommodious for the stately creatures who
fill the seats of the mighty. They needed more
room, better accommodations, surroundings
commensurate with their lofty ideals of their
own superlative Importance.
So they looked leisurely about them and
selected nearby lot and upon this convenient
spot began to build another palatia edifce,
to be devoted entirely to Senatorial comfort,
dignity pomposity and self-indulgence
Our sympathies go out with tumultuous
rush, toward the man who would rather re-
pose the hearth-rug, or doormat, than to
sleep in the same bed with another man but
we had not supposed that even i. S. Senator,
or Supreme Court Judge, would demand
both room which no other mortal but himself
should use. However, we find that we have
much to learn Our Senate is composed of
less than hundred den1-gOdS, yet these semi
celestial creatures have spent four million
dollars, of our money, in building for them
selves new home, in which each Senatorial
demi-god is to have a suite of magnificent
apartments, bathroom all to himself, din
ing room which is finer than that of any king,
barber shops that are dream, and restaurant
that will make Delnonico's resemble by con-
trast discarded sawmillo
Four million dollars! That's pile of money,
isn't it? And it came out of your pockets. No
other legislative body on this planet has ever
treated itself to such outlay for personal
comfort. The work of the Senate did not re-
quire such a building. The expense of con-
structing this marble palace and of maintain
ing it; adds nothing whatsoever to the good
of the public service
In fact, Senator environed by luxuries is
not apt to be worker. Living like lord,
with his exclusive bathroom, and his exclusive
this, that and the other, he will naturally and
inevitably become aristocratic in his views,
as we'll as in his habits, and his votes in the
Senate will reflect the subtle change.
Democratic principles have everything to
fear from Senators who lap themselves in ORR
entail seclusion and luxury.
But they are not to blame. The fault is
yours. Sovereign power to rule the country
was put into your hands, and you have not
used it to good purposes.
You have neglected your duty, You have not

To Amnse Our Socialist friends.
TO our Socialist friends we commend the
following extract taken from Plutarch's Life
of Lycurgus":
"a second and more adventurous political
enterprise Of Lycurgus was a new division of
the lands. In these he had found prodigious
inequality; the city overcharged with many
INDECENT persons who had none, and the great
property conferred in the hands Of few. De-
termlned therefore to root out the evils OF
insolence, envy, avarice, and luxury and those
still more inveterate and fatal distemperss of
a state, poverty and riches, he persuaded them
to cancel all former divisions of land and to
make new ones in such manner that they
might be perfectly equal in their possessions
and manner of living. Hence if they were
ambitious of distinction, they might seek it
in virtue, as no other difference was left be-
tween them, but that which arises from the
dishonor of base actions and the praise of good
ones His proposal was carried into effect.
He made nine thousand lots for the territory
Of Sparta, which he distributed among so many
citizens and thirty thousand for the inhabi-
tants of the rest of Lacon1a. But some say
he made only six thousand shares for the city,
and that Poydorus subsequently added three
more; others, that Polydorus doubled the
number appointed by Lycurgus, which were
only four thousand and five hundred
each lot was capable of producing Zone
year with another) seventy medemni of grain
for each man, and twelve for each woman be-
side quantity of wine and oil in proportion.
Such provision they thought sufficient for
health and good habit of body, and they
wanted nothing more. A story is told of
him that, not long afterward, returning from
a Journey through the fields just reaped, and
seeing the shocks standing parallel and equal,
he smiled and said to some that were near him,
How like is Laconia to an estate newly
divided among many brothers!
After this, he attempted to divide also the
movables in order to remove all appearance of
Inequality but he soon perceived that they
could not bear to have their goods directly
taken from them and therefore he adopted
another method, counter working their avarice
by stratagem. First, he stopped the cur
rency OF gold and silver coin, and ordered that
they should make use of iron money only !;
then, to great quantity and weight of this
ne assigned but very small value: so that to
contain ten mlnae, whole room was required
and to remove it, yoke of oxen. When this
became current, many kinds of Injustice ceased
in Lacedaemon
Who would steal or take bride, who would
detraud or rob, when he was unable to conceal
this booty when he could neither be Identified
by the possession of it, nor if it were cut in
pieces be served by its use? For we are told
that after having heated it, they quenched it
IN vinegar to make it brittle and itnmalleable

VIII You Help?

The old man is thinking OF charging the
Jeffersonian Magazine, and Of not only in
creasing the size of the weekly, but Of dressing
it up in covers.
To do this, he will have to spend lot OF
money Consequently, he naturally wants to
increase the subscription list.
Will YOU help him? Every one who is now
taking the Jeffersonians should renew, month
or such a matter before his time is up.
If the subscriber does not do this, he forgets,
allows his term to expire, and then he misses
number or two of his paper or magazine and the
first thing he knows he has lost the of
what's going on.
The two Jeffersonians will tell you the truth
about matters which no other publications ever
mention.
You know that. Therefore, you shouldn't
let your name get off Our list, and you ought
to give us little encouragement by whirling
in and Fostering your neighbors until they
become subscribers, also.
Tell them to quit borrowing your Jeher-
Sonian and go to patrOnlz1ng it Themselves
Tell them to be manly enough to come out in
support of an editor whose publications they
read on the sly.
In other words, comrades, do little some
thing to spread the influence of two periodicals
which you have tried and which you know to
be consecrated to noble purpose.
For one thing-if we had the Jeffersonian
we'll distributed in every Congressional dis
trict of the South, the Lumber Trust magnates
could never again get sufficient number of
Southern Congressman to unite with the Re-
publicans and put tariff on lumber which will
add enormously to the cost of every church,
every school-house, every cabin, every cottage
every fence built of plank or pickets
The old man would like mighty we'll to
exert such an influence, through the Jeffer
sonians, as would compel Southern Congress-
men to vote right You can help him do it,
and he hopes that you will.
