The Enosburg Standard does well to call
the Keene On. H. Republican to account
for its statement, in the course OF COM
pliment to the roads of this state, that mo
particular agitation has been had there on
the question and very little has appeared
in print about the matter" No topic has
been more frequently discussed by Yer
mont newspapers than that of good roads,
and while we are willing to acknowledge
that this discussion has brought about a
great Improvement in our highways it can
not honestly be said that this state Is
ahead of New Hampshire in this matter
We suspect the Keene papers willingness
to point with pride to our highways is due
chiefly to its anxiety to find as much fault
as possible with the present admlnlstra
ton of affairs at home.

Montpelier received no little criticism
previous to the state teachers convention
on the ground that rates for accommoda-

resolutions adopted by the association IN
dictate no dissatisfaction. Among the
numerous things resolved were:
''That this association express it's true

DOUBTFUL ADVICE.

The editor Of the Burlington Free Press
has received from his old friend, Leslie NJ
Shaw once secretary Of the treasury but
now head OF big bank in Philadelphia a
budget of advice to Nermonters IN regard
10 attracting capital. Evidently the Free
Press editor thinks the advice pretty
good for he serves il up in double'column
measure on the editorial page, and adds
the hope that the letter may receive the
attention il deserves from the people OF
Vermont" Mr.. Shaw says that we can
add millions to our taxable property by
amending our constitution with a proNi-
sion expressly exempting moneys anu
credits from taxation and prohibiting in'
heritance taxes. We should also, he
saws, pass reasonable corporation laws, Tor
by so doing we can get the big corpora,
lions and tax them TO a marked degree.
In his opinion the first state that makes
itself n refuge for the thousands OF
wealthy people who migrate from place to
place, never vote, never give in their prop
ertv for taxation and never claim perma'
nent residence, will be dotted with mag
nifcent estates and the tax on these VIII
be "ive times what Vermont now gets
from her moneys and credits"
inst what, we wonder, does Mr.. Shaw
mean by his statement regarding the cor.
porations? Does he advise Vermont to so
modify its corporation laws that combina'
tions of capital will prefer to organize UNI
der them rather than in states that are
more particular as to what powers they
allow. and then to collect a generous tax
with which to salve our conscience when
it reminds us of the things we wink al
Such course might indeed make new
Vermont but the change would hardly be
preferable. And as for the magnificent
estates with which our hills would be dot
ted if we would put out 'Tax-dodgers
Welcome sign, would the income from
them be as great as the eminent Mr.. Shaw
saws? It is generally the case that people INC
matter how wealthy who forego the pleas
IRE of permanent residence, relinqulsf
the right of suffrage and fabricate stun
ously for the purpose of evading taxation
are not inclined to pay anywhere near what
they ought on tangible property; and
there is little reason for thinking that we
could put very much into our own treas
ury by allowing lot of rich folks tc
thumb their noses at tax-collectors from
other states even if we were mercenary
enough to attempt such thing On the
whole, we are not deeply impressed witt
ex-Secretary Shaw's advice, nor do we be
lieve it will meet with cordial reception
outside, perhaps, the Free Press ONCE
