Green Mountain Club Formed

A section of the Green Mountain club
was formed in Brandon Monday night,
at a large and enthusiastic gathering at
the Brandon Inn. Officers were elected
and a constitution formally adopted.
That article of the constitution, outlin
ing the object of the organization, in
cludes, besides the general objective of
the club in the state, a declaration in
favor of work of local character, such
as the collecting and preserving of items
of local historical interest, the encour-
agement of nature study, and the con.
servation of natural resources. The
meeting was called to order by Rev.
William V. D. Berg.
The officers elected were as follows:
President, w. T. Gardiner; first vice
president, A. G. Farr; second vice
president, E. S. Marsh; secretary and
treasurer, R. c. Flood; auditor, G. w.
Burnham; councillor, A. G. Farr. The
chairman of five standing committees
were also appointed.
The Brandon section expects to well
come the Appalachian club of Noun
tain climbers from Boston, the last
week in December. The club will be
at the Bra ndon Inn for almost a week,
and it is eXpe cted that the Rutland and
Middlebury sections will go to Brandon
to meet them. 1t is also possible that
the Appalachian club will go to Rutland
to explore the mountains in that vicin-
ity, before returning home.

FARMERS FIGHT.
The Canadian Reciprocity Treaty
Aroused Them to Action.
Tho Senate Committee Hearings
Brought Out Many Arguments
Against tho Ratification Of the Treaty
From Grange officials and Others.
Tho Farmers Contention.
Especial Correspondence.1


We are not opposed to equitable reci-
procity or honest tariff reduction or even
honest free trade, but we desire congress
to know that II we are to have free trade
in farm products we shall appeal to all
farmers to up and at It to level the entire
tariff wall to where the president and
congress have placed ours Shoulder to
shoulder we can win victory.-C. B. Keg-
ley.
The grange and farmers fight
against Canadian reciprocity was hot
ly contested. From early In May I'M
til early In June the senate finance
committee gave hearings on the reel
procity question, and arguments pro
and con were made by able represent
atives Of both sides until there seems
to have been nothing left unsaid re-
garding the advantages and disadvan-
tages Of the treaty.
The general effect has been beneh-
cial from the farmers viewpoint.
There has been an array Of the farm
ers' forces at Washington that has
been a revelation to the senators and
congressman, and perhaps we should
include the president The "hayseed"
farmer has taken on a new aspect In
the eyes Of our high government Off
Gals, and 1t has been discovered that
ability to present logical and convinc-
ing arguments on a question Is not
confined to legislators and lawyers
simply. The grange officials who APP
peared before the committee repre-
scented the states of New York, Mas
sachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecti-
cut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania. West Virginia, Illinois, Mich
igan, Delaware, Ohio and Missouri.
Vigorous arguments were put up in
the three days hearing before the COM
mlttee. The entire delegation had an
interview with the president. and SEN
ators and congressman were urged to
give the farmer a little show In this
great crisis which he is facing AS
the National Grange Monthly well
says: "a more determined lot Of men
have seldom visited Washington. and
their earnestness and sincerity evident
ly made marked impression upon the
senate committee. The latter body lis
tened with the closest attention to all
the arguments offered and gave the
farmers every possible opportunity for
stating their case. The arguments pre-
scented by these men were logical and
earnest and were offered in such a
courteous and dignified manner that
they commanded instant and constant
attention from every senator"
The farmerS contention should not
be misunderstood. 1t is conciseiy and
plainly stated In the quotation at the
head OF this article from c. b. Keg-
ley, master of Washington state grange.
The farmers claim that they are not
getting square DEAL" that they have
been selected to bear the burden Of an
experiment and that II the Canadian
farmer IL to be allowed to invade our
home markets and we are to have
FREQ trade with Canada 1t is a farce
to continue to maintain a tariff on
farm products from other countries.

The Pioneer Four Per Cent Bank

The pioneer banking institution of
Vermont to inaugurate the paying of
four per cent interest on saving deposits
was the Burlington Trust company, and

1907, it has maintained it to the salts
faction of a constantly increasing ellen

The Burlington Trust company begins

His return to Washington yesterday
afternoon with this lecture, which prov
ed the most popular in the series he
gave here last fall. was welcomed by
generous patronage and marked ap-
preciation.
Though he introduced new pictures,
he adhered to his former system of
taking up the principal European gal
leries one by one. Tho Rhys Museum
at Amsterdam, the Kaiser Friedrich
! Museum at Berlin, and the Dresden
Gallery were visited. Rich treasures
also were discovered at the Florence,
Rome, Seville, Madrid. and Louvre gal
leries.
The most delightful portions of the
lecturers talk were the intimate de-
sCriptions of interesting sidelights as to
how various masterpieces came to be
painted and their histories after their
completion.
He also presented interesting data
about the methods Of the various pio-
lures and relieved the series of paint
ing films by moving pictures of scenes
in the cities where the galleries are
located.

For the Unemployed Over SO

Some time ago there appeared in one of

through no fault of or incapacity of his own,
found himself out of employment and COM
PEELED to find new place.
The following is from his letter:

have tried hard and long, but there seems to be no
place for me.
This Is another instance of the inability of
the unemployed to find, by personal solicitation,
the very employer who may be seeking man
of his qualifications.
Age does not always count against a man
in search of work Employers are constantly
on the lookout for men of ability and expert
ence. The question, however, is the same as it
has always been and probably always will be

ROBERTS APPROVES
ALDR|CH'S SCHEME
Director of the Mint Dis
cusses Plan of Monetary
Reform.

Director George E. Roberts, OF the
Mint, today discussed the AIdrich plan
Of monetary reform and gave his ap-
proval to it.
Il believe that Congress could well
adopt the plan as the beginning of re-
form Of our banking and currency sys-
tem,' said Mr.. Roberts.
Mr.. Roberts approval was general
rather than as to specific details. He
considers the plan on the whole con-
servative. He says that while the or
ganization proposed by Mr.. Aldrich Is
not called bank, yet in reality it is a
central bank. differing materially from
the central2 banks of Europe. but ac-
tually performing nearly every func-
ton of bank, save that 1t would not
transact It's business with the general
public.
What about the criticism that con-
troll of the proposed central bank or
reserve association could be centered
into the hands of a few big banks?'
No Reason for Fear.
II do not see that there Is sound rea-
son to apprehend that" said Mr.. Rob-
erts. THE plan for directorate
worked out by Mr.. Aldrich is quite
elaborate. Forty-five directors are pro-
vided for, which seems to me an un-
necessarily large number. The execu-
tive committee of nine is the body en-
trusted with the general conduct of
the banks affairs. OF these, the Gov
ernment would have four. The other
five would represent the banking inter
ests. / regard this as a conservative
arrangement and do not think that un-
der 1t there would be eny reason to
fear that the bank would not be used
infaraGfG
a whole.
Il believe that such an institution
would be run with regard to public
opinion and that there is no serious dan
ger that there would be an abuse of
authority by the directors. The plan, 50
far as giving the Government a voice.
Is more conservative than my own plan.
Balance of Power.
ut seems to me the presence OF four
Government officials on the committee
out of nine would in fact enable the
Government to control the policy of
the Institution at any time should it
desire to do so. 1t would only be neces-
sary TO have one of the other five on
the executive committee take sides with
the Government to enable it to domi-
nate"
Mr.. Roberts says there is no doubt
that when the question gets before Con-
gresS, 2 controversy will rage about the
question of control OF the central bank.
but he says he can see small reason to
be alarmed over the notion that any few
men or banks are going to try to use
the institution to serve their own ends.
Mr.. Roberts has long been a believer
Of the central bank system and he hopes
to see the discussion that the submis-
sion Of the Aldrich plan will stir up
prove Of value in an educational way.
