Decency in Political Campaigns.
(By Lewis p. Thayer, Editor Norris
Vile Messenger)
To my mind what Vermont needs
more today than any other one thing
is decency in political campaigns. Per-
haps we are no worse than other
States in this matter but the spectacle
of some of the leading newspapers
of this State charging each other with
crimes unnamable and calling each
other names, used only in the slums
and dives, is not a good thing for
Vermont.
Theoretically we are all in favor of
clean politics and clean political cam
paigns. All good citizens deplore
the use of money in political cam
paigns. All good citizens deplore
however, for making unwarranted
charges or magnifying the use OF
money for perfectly proper and legit-
innate purposes, such as placing a
candidates record, platform, etc, be-
fore the people of the whole State
Through the newspapers or by circu-
lar, and the discussion of the issues
of the campaign from the platform or
in the newspapers.
This can be done in a dignified way
and without resort to billingsgate or
personal abuse.
The newspapers ought to set those
interested in the success of the candi-
dates better example. We are glad
to say few do this, notably the st
Adams Messenger, the st. Johnsbury
Republican, etc. Why not from now
on cut out all extravagant language;
stick closely to facts; make our ar
guments as dignified as we would q
brief before the Supreme Court; and
do our part to dignity the remainder
of this campaign for the good name
and fame of Vermont?

Tax Reform.
(By Fred n. Whitney, Editor North
field News.)

field News)
Vermont will never attain to it's de-
Iserved material prosperity until its
present taxation laws have undergone
la decided revision. Radical changes
lcannot be effected at single stroke
Iamong conservative people. The
revision must be conducted with care.
All property, real and personal, must
be taxed. Valuations in the several
towns of the State must be equalized
as far as possible and double taxa
ton eliminated.
The start can be made this year by
proper instruction and encourage
ment to the boards of listers by the
attorney general through the several
States. attorneys. The real work,
however, will begin when listers are
under State supervision and made re-
sponsible to the tax commissioner
whose duties now relate only to cor
porations. The commissioner must be
given plenty of power and he must
hold the listers to a strict accounta-
bility.
All corporations must pay their just
share of taYation for the support OF
the State Government. All intangible
property must be ssessed, but taxed
on a basis that will not drive it Out
OF the State. The Offset privilege or
personal property must be retained
but much more carefully scrutinizet
under State supervision.
i When these things are brought
about, as they surely can be, the tota
Taxation of a town should be limited
to $50 cents on the dollar of the
grand list, with a possible so cent:
for additional permanent improve
ments under vote of the taxpayers.
This, of course, could not be accom-
plished until reform along the line:
briefly outlined above had been thor
oughly established. This limit to tax
alton would encourage the large ant
small capitalist to invest money il
Vermont. 1t would also awaken thu
taxpayers to a realizing sense that il
order to obtain desired public i'm
provements they must inslst upon ;
wise and business like expenditure o
their tax money.

How Can the Pen Be Mightier Than

REFORMING THE BUTCHER

A Granite City (Ill.) woman has
hit upon novel scheme for coercing
her grocer and butcher to send her
choice food.
The woman, who keeps a boarding
house, sent for the merchant one day
when his offerings had been espe-
cially Objectionable, and insisted upon
his staying to dinner.
The steak was stringy and impene-
trable. the omelet was made from
rancid eggs.
He couldn't eat the meal and the
other boarders made uncompliment-
airy remarks about the food.
After that it is recorded that ten
der steaks and fresh eggs always
round their way to that house.
These schemes seem to suggest pos
slbilit1es. How would it be to ask
the dressmakers to wear the frocks
that they spoil, and the cooks to eat
the scorched soup and raw bread
they turn out? In the professional
field the same. experiment might be
tried. If the doctors had to take
their own bitter medicines and the
preachers were forced to listen to
their dullest sermons, some improve
ment in these lines might be noted.

JOYS Of 0LD--T|M.E
POCKET MUCH MISSED

@ Why do women carry bags? Where
oh where, Is the good old pocket, the
unf1ndable pocket the mysterious, tan
talizing, disappearing, outrageous, ut
terly futile and ridiculous pocket that
your dear mother wore when she
twisted your hair into pigtails until
your eyes frantically sought to escape
from your head?
A bag is so absurd. It opens so
easily and gives practically no excuse
to keep the car conductor waiting
more than five minutes or the POM
padoured shopgirl signing YEARLY for
fifteen Where is the vanished boy Of
standing at the head of a weary, per-
spring line of seatseekers at the the
alter or ball game and twirling
f1ounces, plunging into weird furbe-
lows and pretending to be desperately
frustrated while all the time you are
watching the man behind you and
wondering eagerly just how long his
politeness will stand the strain. OF
course it is still possible to lose your
handbag or find incredible difficulties
in opening the catch, but then that
really Is no compensation for the lost
joys of the Incompatible pocket.
OF course there would be no use in
restoring the pocket with sheath
gown, so we must go back to the
frills and f1ounces. Then why not
let us bring back the dear old crino-
line. Think what an exquisite pleas
ure it would be to get into a pay-en-
ter street car with crinoline. How
we could crush the miserable men
with scornful glances If they dared
| to share a seat with any of the hate
full creatures.
Away with such futile fripperies az
| votes. rates and hobbles-let us arise
and demand own pockets, GU,
| flounces and our own crinolines.
