PHOENIX, ARIZONA. JULY IS, 1911
Mr.. Taft's Clear Statement.

Mr. Taft's frank and vigorous mes
sage to congress in which he as
sumes personally all responsibility for
everything which has been done by
the administration in the matter of
throwing open to entry the land adj
jaccnt TO Controller bay, has had the
effect of reducing to a microscopic
molehill the mountain of scandal
which the administrations enemies
have sought To build.
The president shows conclusively
that the scrip entry of the land in
question does not confer upon the
entrymen a monopoly of the bay, and
that this body of water will be open
to everybody that may wish TO build
railroads between the bay and the
Alaska coal fields As Mr.. Taft points
out, such a monopoly can be gained
in but one way-by a special act Of
congress. And he implies rather
broadly his disbelief that congress,
in view of all the facts that are
now before it will refuse deliberately
and voluntarily" to grant such
monopoly.
The Dick to Dick letter Of which
the administrations assailants have
made so much-the missive in which
Richard Ryan was alleged to have in
formed Richard Ballinger, secretary
of the interior, that in the matter of
the proposed opening of this land Mr..
Taft was won over through the act
ivity Of his brother, Mr.. Charles ?.
Taft as an investor in the enter
prise-the president disposes of the
letter by declaring that if it ever
existed it was a fabrication, and by
the blunt statement that Mr.. Charles
p. Taft is not now, and has not been,
interested in Alaska.
We have never been able to un-
derstand how the contention of Mr..
Tafts enemies as to the monopoly
feature of the Controller bay entries
could be sustained by common sense.
Under the laws of the United States
in the absence of a special enact
ment by congress-any railway COM
pany could gain a right of way over
the land in question by condemna-
ton proceedings. AS Mr.. Taft says.
congress alone could give anybody
monopoly. Even Mr.. Roosevelt has
been led by insurgent clamor to sup
pose that the location of a portion of
the land abutting upon Controller
bay gave to the entrymen monopoly
of that bay, and upon this false as
sumption he has an editorial in the
Outlook strongly condemning the
presidents action in the premises. An
apology from the former president
may be expected, we suppose, as an
incidental result of Mr.. Tafts clearly
truthful statement of the case.
The whole Pacific coast is in dire
need Of cheaper fuel. From San
Diego to Seattle consumers are pay
ing $12 to S14 a ton for coal, simply
because the coal of Alaska cannot be
transported to the ocean. Not only
the whole Pacific coast country. but
the government as well. would bene-
fit enormously from the development
of the coal fields of Alaska-the navy
department is paying twice as much
as it should for coal for warships,
because the coal of Alaska is not
available. Recognition of these facts
led Mr. Taft to do what he could,
strictly within the law, to facilitate
the opening of the Alaska mines.

mary system our vote will count. The !
only opposition to the bill seems to be |
a mistaken and imaginary fear that |
the small towns will lose the balance
of power The facts however as prov
en- from the official figures taken fom
the office of the secretary Of state are
that under a direct primary system
the political power of the state will
repose absolutely in the small towns.
The towns of less than 5000 inhabi-
tants outvoted the towns of more
than 5000 by about $4,000 votes in the
last election. The small towns of
every county in the state can outvote
the largest town in that county by a
vote of to l. The bill passed the
house by a safe majority but fight is
now on for a reconsideration of the
vote with the result in doubt.
A STATE TAX.
You might just as we'll begin to ad-
just yourself to coming conditions:
You must pay state tax and it must
come with this present session of the
Legislature. That will create storm
! of protest from those who speak be-
fore they think Please do not con-
denim this legislature for imposing a
state tax until you are convinced that
it is unwise Brighter men than we
believe that the state should raise
greater proportion of its revenue by
direct tax rather than by so large tax
upon deposits in Savings banks. The
tax upon deposits is a just tax In
name only. In effect it is direct tax
upon the poor man who is borrowing
capital to run his business or borrow
, ing money to pay for his farm. 1t is q
, tax not upon wealth, but upon the lack
, of wealth. The farmer who owes
: Savings bank $4,000 on his farm is to,
' day paying the state direct tax OF
, S14 per year. His neighbor who owns
: a $4,000 farm is not paying the state
\ cent. No less a parsonage than Hon
r J. A. DeBoer recently stated publicly
;. that the policy of this state should bt
! to supply itself with its actual needs
J. even if it were necessary to resort t.
q q direct state tax. At the same meet
f ing Hon. A. M. Fletcher, whom man,
q expect will be our next governor
q stated that he thought we should rails
y more by direct tax and less by tn
% indirect method. The name state ia
~ seems to bear an unwelcome SCUM
70 hut circumstances and conditions hav
at shown it to be far more equitable tina
$. the tax on deposits. This legislator
ii evidently has the courage of its col
I'd victions and intends to live up to TT
il policy of the administration in al
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1911-01-11

further questioning. If the present
Hill should pass the senate and be-
come a law it will become the duty OF
a lister to see TO it that a taxpayer
gets noting but an honest offset. The
hill passed the house by a big najOrl-
$3.50, GOO FOR HIGHWAYS.
The senate has finally pass II the
Rabbit Highway bill approp iating
$50, 900 for highways. This bill was
ready for passage before the holiday
adjournment and would have been
passed then but for a possibility that
some one might claim the bill had
been railroaded through. It was held
up for few days last week pending
some trade whereby votes might be
secured for other measures but Mr..
Gates stood pat on this one measure
and won out. Thus has the Mead ad-
ministration accomplished something
in the way of real constructive legls-
lation.
Tn nublic Importance and political
interest the fight on the direct pri-
mary bill has overshadowed anything
, thus far before the Legislature. The
. question before the house is in effect
ssShall the people ruler" Several di-
] rect primary bills had been introduced
r and the one before the house was In,
0 troduced by the committee on lnterna
affairs as a substitute for all and Is
S supposed to contain the pest features
. of the several bills. AS soon as the
: bill came up for passage on Thursda!
e Mr.. Burbank of Cabot sailed. IN ant
d attacked the bill in general and II
particular and when he resumed hi
It seat il seemed possible that he ha
succeeded in killing the bill. His ar
IN pument was that it was revolutlonar.

Ig complete destruction of all the politl
III cal strength of the small towns.
d. true explanation of the bill howeve
S. by Speaker Howe showed that all MI
X Rurbank's objections were imaglr
st ary ones and that he was laboring VI
OF der mistaken idea of the facts. In

ministering to the needs of the state,
in giving it better roads, better
schools and better agricultural devel-
opment. 1t would now seem that this
legislature is being moved to act up
on lines of business and logical prog
ress rather than being bound down by
tradition, prejudice and precedent.
LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Some morning the chaplain will
pray that the Anti-Saloon league may
awake to the fact that it is worthy of
more efficient management. 1t is in
deed a shame that such a worthy or
ganization, with such possibilities for
good, should be so woefully misled.
The senate killed Mr.. Battells bill
closing to automobiles a mountain road
near Mr.. Battell's hotel in Ripton.
1t may be all right as matter of prln--
ciple, but it would have been good
policy to have granted Mr.. Battell's
request, especially when the request
was accompanied with like request
from all the people along the line OF
road.
Some one made a mean remark
about Essex county when the deer
law was under consideration. They
. SAID the Dlll WHICH, llullGSu tIC SCoSOh
to one month really slasned to eleven
months from their open season.
During the debate before the Far
mers' club Mr.. Stearns accused Mr.
Stone of being up in Eden fishing
when he ought to have been visiting
the Normal school. Mr.. Stone replied
! that he never went to Eden fishing in
, his life. All of which was spicy, but
not german to the merits of central
normal school.
Barron of Barton presented a petit
, ton from GIT women from the town
of Barton asking for the passage OF
, House bill 1873. 1t was the banner
, petition of all and showed that Bar
: ton is banner town in more respects
q than one. Barron leaves no stone un-
:. turned to prove that Barton is on the
:, man. Members will soon come to think
of the town as 'tBarron's Banner Bar
Q tom or as Bigger, Buster, Better
o and More Beautiful Barton.
x Bell of Lunenburg is showing man!
q pictures taken in the vicinity of Lun
e enburg. This is in the interests of 1
n bill to get an appropriation to build
e bridge across the Connecticut rive
n at that place. Advertising pays.

LEGISLATURE BUSY AGAIN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

CONTINU ED FROM PAGE ONE
friends who worked earnestly and sim
cerely for the bill and had the matter
been left to the members alone it
would undoubtedly have passed along
all right. But one especial champion of
all temperance measures, the Grand
High Chief of the Anti-Saloon league
made his customary blunder and so dis
gusted the members of the house that
they turned down the bill by a very
narrow margin. 1t is too bad that
meritorious temperance measures are
killed through inefficiency of a sincere
though misguided individual. Mr..
/ Ferguson had mailed letters to mem
bers of the house thanking them for
the stand they had taken on the bill
and then went out of his way to libel
two respected members of the house.
He insinuated that Webster of Swan
ton had been contaminated by contact
with the "Slush Fund"of the brewer
les and that he was in league with the
"Saloon Keeper of South Vernon.
Mr. Amey Of Brighton arose to
