burdensome tax.


An increased state tax for educa-
tional purposes would result in bet
ter schools and better industrial and
agricultural conditions in Vermont,
and this would keep more of our
young men and women at home Be-
cause we have so long depended up
on the town unit we are reluctant to
make a change. It is feared that our
larger towns whose schools are al
ready on a good basis and some of
the smaller ones which do not have
to raise heavy school taxes would re-
sent any attempt to increase the
state tax. But the people of YER
mont are usually ready to work for
the interest of the whole state when
the course of procedure to a desired
end is clearly understood. That the
whole wealth of the state shall be
made available for educating all the
youth of the state is a sound prin-
ciple, and one that we ought to
adopt.

MIR. DEBOER'S CANDIDACY.
A Letter Stating His Position on the
Governorship Question.


The following letter received by
the president of the DeBoer club of
Montpelier is such a clear-cut ex-
preston of the position taken by
Mr.. DeBoer as a candidate for gov
ernor that it will be read with inter-
est throughout the state:
December 20, 1911.
Mr.. James Boutwell,,
Montpelier, ermOnt.
Dear Sir:-Doubtless the fact of
my candidacy as it stands requires
explicit definition. The city, with
out consulting me, saw fit, so far as
representative group of men could
do so, to present my name to the
republican party of Vermont for the
Office of governor on it's ticket for
1912. I have agreed to accept that
designation and will sustain it 1egi-
timately to the full extent Of my
power.
I have one thing to advise the club
organized in my name and in my be-
half, for which 1 am sincerely CRATE
full: that they violate no law, no
principle of honest politics and in
no manner adopt a single practice
against which my position is OPP
posed The use of money, the con-
vass system and the paid political
convention constitute the issues to
which we object. The people, I am
sure, desire to more nearly and di-
rectly elect their own state officers
and of course that means their nom
ination by the people for the pur-
poses of political parties. Self-gov-
eminent is an expensive thing, call
ing for action, independence and
self-sacrifice on the part of the
voters, but government by the peo-
pie cannot be had or cannot exist
unless they will pay for it's costs and
take part in it's securement.
[ wish to advise you that I am es-
pecially interested in the principle
involved and that I request earnestly
that my friends respect that posi-
ton, in no case breaking either the
law of the state or any rule of pure
politics, by which I mean illegal use
of money, misrepresentation, politi-
cal trading, political promises, etc.
L would rather lose on that platform
than win upon any basis of main
tanning the old system, and sincerely
hope that this position will be main
tanned by all my friends
Yours very truly,
JOSEPH A. DEBOER.

Local taxation is a good thing in
that it develops local independence
and arouses and maintains interest
in school affairs. But to maintain
thi sinterest it is necessary to have
good schools. In some towns con-
ditions are such that a sufficient
amount of money for school purposes
can be raised only by heavy and

Have a good time boys, as the

remember that four years is not
long, the cost Of living in Frankfort
is high, contributions are expected
and all in all, the fellows who Sc
cure the jobs are not lucky if they
fail to lay up a little for the rainy
days that are sure to come. Nine
out of ten come away with less than
they brought and the four years is
practically wasted"
