Recognizing the futility of being
able to get any real politics out OF
the present campaign for the COVER
norship nomination the boys" have
begun to line up in the race for 81 a
day jobs at Montpelier next fall
There is likely to be considerable
freezing and whitening weather be-
tween the present time and the first
Tuesday in September and aspira
tons may suffer in consequence but
the worthy candidates ought to be
able to survive and there are many
public spirited citizens who hold that
the selection of Representatives and
senators is a subject that is not Civ
en- sufficient consideration. Two of
the early birds who have recently
come out in the open are Editor Rob
ert w. McCuen of the Vergennes VeI-
monter, who would represent the piv-
otal county of Addison in the upper
house, and Dr. w. S. Nay of Jericho
who seeks a similar honor in Chitten-
den county. Mr. McCuen has had
previous experience in the legislature
and DR. Nay is a man who has been
more or less in the public life of his
bailiwick for number of years

COWS and COW chambermaIds

Among the prominent dairymen
reported present at the Dairymen's
convention at Burlington this week
are DR.. John A. Mead, Frederick G..
Fleetwood, DIN Merrill, c. w. Gates,
O. S. Annis, Smith S. Ballard, Chas.
II. Darling, John l.. Southwick. Sena-
tor Lewis of Orleans and Gibson of
Windham, Dr. Kidder, George f. Le-
land, Earl Kinsley and Joe Flint.
The long suffering COW is coming into
her own at last bennington Ban
ner.
Yet, they We're all there and each
was wild with enthusiasm while eX-
tolling the merits of his favorite COW.
Their combined knowledge "touchin
on and appertainin' to COWS was
simply wonderful In only on thins
however, were they unanimous in
consenting to be quoted for pubica-
ton and that was that COWS are, and,
as a matter of right, ought to be-
and none of them appeared to care
who knew it either. But as to tax
ing cows, that was another question
1t further appeared that majority OF
them believed that a COW like a po-
litical party, should be MIXED as oft
en- as possible, although hardly any
two of them could agree as to the
man best qualified to do the milking.
In fact no one had the heart to tell
several of them that an incompetent
mixer would soon dry up" a good
COW. even as an incompetent man in
office would soon dry up party
Other COW details there were over
which there was disagreement. For
instance, it is said that Leland Kid
der and Gibson could not agree as to
the number of upper teeth possessed
by properly equipped COW. Each
was ready enough to admit that he
had never owned COW with less
than two sets of teeth and some OF
them had had even more but for the
life of him not one of them could re-
member the number in the upper set
and so 1t came about that each one
eagerly besought the aid of DR.. Mead
in the premises but he quickly IN
formed them that he was not prac
ticing cow dentistry for the benefit
of quarreling east side politicians;
that each must count his own teeth
but If the question should become a
political issue he would consult his
record and make his position known
Then they rounded up Fred Fleet
wood to get aid and comfort from
him but Fred simply stuck his left
thumb through the left gallus OF his
new overalls, while, in his right hand
he held his old red bandana, with
which he flicked some mud from his
fleshly creased cowhide boots and
then, deliberately hopping his fore
head, he solemnly said that he mac
nothing to add to the platform when
he had already announced.
DIN Merrill, too, declined to com

The National Life

rhe National Life Insurance com
pany has just issued its siXtieth an
nual statement which contains fig
ures which must be both interesting
and gratifying to Vermonters. n
shows a cash income during the past
year of SS,4IS,27540; an income saw.
ed of S3,3OO,152.4S; total assets of
A7,490,99S.9S; and a surplus of So
S29,S6SS6.
The year 1903 shows an increase in
assets of $3,464,929: an increase In
surplus of $549,943; an increase in in
surance of S5,040094; new insurance
paid for, Sl6,S61,77S; insurance in
force $159,1S7S77
These figures furnish eloquent
proof of the financial standing of the
company and the notable gain It
made during the year 1909 Twenty
years ago the National Life was not
widely known in the insurance world
Now it has taken a position among
the best companies in the United
States Out of $50 insurance con.
Germs in this country, it ranks at least
fifteenth in assets and it Is rapidly
overtaking the leaders in the field. 1t
operates in Sc states OF the Union
and has business in every state. 1t
employs about 100 people in our own
city, has g. general agencies, 100 fl
nancial correspondents, about 700
men licensed as solicitors and $500
medical examiners. The next tax
paid to the state of Vermont by this
corporation probably will exceed $780,
600 which gives something of an idea
of the value of such an institution to
Vermont, aside from its worth as a
good insurance company.

1t is reported in Washington that
Congressman z. J. Hill of Connect
cut is about to pitch his tent in the
insurgent camp. Congressman Hill
was sent into Vermont during the
last presidential campaign by the ma
tional committee and made an excel
lent impression. His speech deliv-
cred in Bennington was by far the
best heard here in support of Presi-
dent Taft. Such a vigorous person
ality as was presented to the local
audience here should prove strong
addition to the force that is battling
for the cause of progress in congress,
A few more desertions from the
ranks of the regulars and the admin
istration is likely to find that the un
loading of the present czar of the
house a necessity.

before Judge ]. l., Martin, against
the Stone-Tracy company, and Frank
q. Tracy, and l.. B. Hayward. direc-
tors of the company also of Windsor.
The case is of national Importance.
as il is intended to test the constitu.
tionality of the corporation tax law
passed by Congress and approved by
the president, August ,, 1909.
The case will be heard in Brattle-
boro Thursday before Judge Martin.
The bill of complaint sets forth that
the acts of Congress on the tax law
are unconstitutional and in violation
OF the fifth and 10th amendments to
the constitution, in that the REQUIRE
ments are tax upon and an inter
terence with the powers of the state
OF Vermont and other states, express
ly reserved to charter and incorporate
the grant charters: and that it is also
violation of the constitution, be-
cause the socalled special excise tax
is in reality a direct tax upon a
charter and franchise of the defen-
dant corporation and upon all other
corporations, and is not apportioned
among the several states according
to their population, as required by
the constitution
Many other grounds for redress are
given by the complainants, who
claim that, if the return is fled
great and irreparable injury will be
done to the different corporations
and the business The orator asks
that the provision of the act of Con.
gress be decided unconstitutional
and that the defendant be restrained
from voluntarily complying with the
provisions of the act.
