Vermont is Progressive
"The republican party Of Vermont
entrusted by the people OF this state
with control of its public affairs since
the birth of the party once more vel
comes the opportunity to give an ac-
count of its stewardship. 1t has
brought TO the task of continuous adj
mlnistration of state affairs for over
fifty years, a loyalty and uprightness'
a determination and far sighted ludg-
ment that have given Vermont
place among the best governed states
of the Union
within the past few years the re-
cord of achievement has been one OF
almost continuous progress. NO state
has been more progressive than YER
mont under republican rule IN the
passage Of laws designed to bring
about equality Of opportunity, limit
alton of corporations to their proper
sphere and encouragement OF legltl-
mate enterprise. Vermont has led
many of her sister states in legisla-
ton calculated TO meet the rapid

pride that despite heavy disburse-

laying of direct tax or oppressive
tax rates Welding the statee's reven-
ne. Nor has Vermont the burden OF
state debt proper But though
proud of our party's record we are
not satisfied while there still remain
tasks for our hands and to these We
now give attention.
Believing that the choice OF can
didates for public Office should reflect
definitely the wishes OF the people
whose servants they are to be- we
favor the adoption of some practical
system which shall directly express

Education

while the large central public
schools of the state are doing splen-
did work, the small rural schools are
not keeping pace For the present,
these latter should be the especial
care of the state In so far as their
standard can be improved by more
liberal state aid. 1t should be extend
ed. and we recommend TO the Gener-
al Assembly a larger division of the
public school funds in this direction,
also a redistribution of these FUNDS
on a basis that will ensure more d.
rect aid to towns that really need It.
We favor the encouragement by the
state OF agricultural and scientific
training as necessary part OF pub
lie instruction

believe that adequate measures

should be strengthened and that for.

I'VE believe that the next general

laws that will eQuallze the tax Of In
