or 1913, 166. 80, besides possible $780,
600 from the State, which, as we I'M
derstand, was nearly all used, and
$40, 983. 70 auto fees; besides extra town
appropriations.
Surprising the whole amount of fees
from automobiles to be available, these
machines would have paid not to ex-
coed lie of the money expended on
highways.
1t is true that automobilists, if living
in the State, pay also their proportion
of the money raised by taxation.
About 1000 automobiles are owned in
the State. We know they have been
numbered something over 2300, but
numbers of them have been used up,
or sold. These belong quite extern
sively to men without families, but
supposing the average family of their
owners was five, they would represent
10, 900 in population of about 800, 900,
or one in SO.
And therefore their proportion of
highway tax is equally small.
We do not believe that the I'M
prejudiced citizens of Vermont will
care to continue conditions so entirely
one sided, many times as much being
paid to build and keep in repair our
roads by those who do not use autos,
as by those who do, although no use
that the roads are subjected to wears
them out so rapidly as automobiles.
In Middlebury IA automobiles are
owned by parties whose grand list
amounts to $685.. n, though if offsets
were permitted against real estate this
would be reduced nearly or quite one
half. The grand list of Middlebury is
$21, 92O.95
1t may be we'll to notice that in the
last quadrennial apprisal, the value OF
real estate was very much increased
the effect of which, whether so designed
or not, will be to greatly increase the
amount of money expended on the high
ways.

An Act of Justice Toward Spain.

In inviting the Spanish Government
to have representative present during
the operations attending the raising of
the Maine, Mr.. Taft has been governed
not only by motives of courtesy but by a
sense of equity.
1t is now over twelve years since the
battleship was blown up in Havana
harbor, and the passions that blinded
men of opposing races in 1898 have sub
sided. The truth is to be finally estab-
lished beyond peradventure. If the
United States was right in its position
that outside agencies caused the dis
aster, the evidence of the wreck itself
should justify that conclusion. If the
United States should prove to have
been wrong, justice requires that we
admit the facts. Nothing that the Gov
eminent of the United States may do
toward ascertaining the truth should be
open to challenge from any quarter,
least of all from Spain.
1t is to be hoped that the Spanish
Government will meet Mr.. Taft's invi-
tation in the same spirit that it is ex-
tended, and that all room for dispute
about the Maine disaster will be for
ever removed. Ed. N. Y. World.

The Claims of Middlebury College

President John M. Thomas of Mid
dlebury college presented a statement
to the Legislature last week in behalf
of the measure calling for additional
state aid introduced by Mr.. Billings.
The furnishing condition of the COL
lege, in point of attendance, has eX
ceeded all expectations and the facilities
made possible by the appropriation of
$4,000 year for the department of high
school teachers training are all too in
adequate for present needs.
What institution of learning in this
country can boast of such an esprit de
corps as that evinced by those self
sacrificing students referred to in Presi-
dent Thomas statement?
There was hearty response by stu
dents of both sexes to the demand for
an additional amount for tuition.
There must be something very real in
the traditions of a college that can de-
pend upon its students in an extremity
for $40, 600, in two years for an increase
in tuition fees and a voluntary sub
scription of over $1,000 for new college
building.
At the present time, Middlebury col
lege is receiving $1,000 less than the
University of Vermont and $4,000 less
than Norwich university. It's believed
that an additional appropriation by the
state of $500 is urgently required for
the purpose of further developing the
department of teacher training and to
provide facilities, now lacking. -Rut-
land Herald.

Mr.. Titcomb and the Deer.

State Fish and Game Commissioner
J. w. Titcomb, who was appointed to
this Office on the resignation of Henry
G. Thomas, recommends the repeal of
the law permitting the shooting of does,
and he believes in lengthening the buck
season to Is days in November. His
suggestions come from considerable eX
perience and there are many hunters as
well as non-sportsmen who will agree
with him.
Mr.. Titcomb urges the appointment
of limited number of competent game
wardens at fair salary during certain
seasons, in place of the numerous war
dens provided for now. Better service
and more intelligent enforcement of
the law could then be secured, he urges,
and again his suggestion seems to be
very sane and practical He would in
crease the gun license to one dollar and
allow town clerks more liberal fees for
their labors. The payment of salaried
game wardens should be met by the in
come of the department, and the ex-
pense to the state would be no more
than under the present system. - Wood
stock Spirit of the Age.
Mr.. Titcomb is eminently correct in
regard to shooting the does; but we
doubt very much whether it would be
safe without thwarting the object OF
the law, that is without eventually ex-
terminating the deer, to lengthen the
open season for bucks.

hurtled along at fully so miles an hour
Suddenly the car failed to respond to
the steering wheel, and Davey and

One Phase Of the Taxation
Probiem.

To the Editor of The Free Press
In your issue of September 80 there
was letter signed, "A voter" in
which he called attention to some of
the untaxed trusts that our State is
protecting He failed to mention the
wealthy merchants who can afford the
luxury of an automobile and ride about
destroying roads and endangering the
lives of the travelling public, but he
lodges the taxes on his stock. The
same may be said of the millman who
cuts every available tree into lumber and
stacks it up for the city to protect
without any intention of paying his just
share of the burden of taxation.
Mr.. Voter seems to carry the idea
that the automobiles is the only desir-
able visitor that comes to Vermont, to
which would take exception.
First. They are greater contributors
to the Standard Oil company than to
public welfare
Second. They endanger the lives of
youth and old age.
Third. They fill the air in dry
weather with dust, which penetrates
the homes by the wayside and the lungs
and eyes of the less offensive traveller.
Fourth. They contribute but small
amount toward the maintenance of our
highways compared with the damage
done them.
An occasional hotel may get their
patronage while they go popping and
sinking through the State. Why
should we bond the State to secure more
of this class of visitors? They seldom
climb mountains to appreciate the seen
cry or drink water to appreciate our
springs.
The Standard Oil company ought to
be willing to contribute to the support
of the highway, for their tanks when
full form one of the heaviest loads that
pass over the highways.
If Vermont wants summer guests let
her prepare for them, and let it be
known when and where they are ready.
What do we need to entertain them?
First. We need more producers of
small fruits, vegetables, eggs and dairy
products.
Second. We need more medium priced
hotels and boarding houses, with few
teams and boats to let located along
our beautiful lakes and rivers, where
they would be free from mosquitoes OF
other pests.
Third. We need more steamer land
ings to build up such resorts.
! We have climate scenery, soil and
water, and now, Mr.. Voter, if you are
so greedy of money take hold and pro-
duce something
If the auto is simply a luxury, il
should be higher than whiskey for it
may do one harm even though they let
it alone.
From one who tries to pay as he goes.
