Gardner Decides to
Go After Trusts.

Washington. July l5-Representative
declined, today. to sign the majority re-
port of the House so-called Steel Trust
investigating COMMITTEES and declared he
would seek to have submitted progress
sive minority report on behalf of the
Republican members of the committee.
Mr. Gardner asserted the time had come
when some definite legislation dealing
with the trust problem should come from
Republican source; that there should
be proposed laws which would start the
general public not only to thinking Sc
riously, but to action and that in this
endeavor the present political situation
should be absolutely ignored.
The fun committee discussed the tenta-
tive report of the majority, written by
Rep Stanley of Kentucky, the chairman.
Mr.. Gardner indicated he also did not
agree with portions of a tentative report
written by Rep. Olin Fl. Young of Mich
igan. minority member.
Mr. Gardeners objections to the ma
jority report are said to relate chiefly
to the manner of treatment of the find

istrations and of the existing political
situation.
Rep. Young, Mr.. Gardner's colleague
on the committee. has prepared a report
setting forth his ideas.
Tomorrow or next day the Republican
members will meet to consider his con-
illusions. Mr.. Gardner said he hoped the
| minority would not be divided when the
committee concluded its prolonged task
Other minority members are Danforth OF
New York and Sterling of Illinois.

The Attorney Generalship.
AS the situation is developing, it
seems unlikely that there will be any
for midable, opposition to the nomina-
tion of Attorney Rufus E. Brown of
Burlington to succeed Hon. John G.
Sargent of Ludlow as Attorney
General. the latter not being a can.
didate for denomination. Attorney
Brown is one of the most brilliant
members of the Vermont bar, being
especially noted as an effective jury
pleader. and is declared by those who
know him and his work to be splen
sdidly qualified for the office in ques-
ton. with an abundance of initiative
and thorough going knowledge of
the law. Vermont wants her best
talent in her best places. and
the higher the responsibility
and the dignity of the place
the more likely is the ambitious man
of ability. like Mr.. Brown, to be
stimulated to make good in it for his
own honor and that of the state. We
hope that nothing will arise to pre-
vent the unanimous nomination of
the Burlington candidate for Attorney
General.
The Reporter is most credibly
Informed that Mr.. Brown is receiving
the hearty support of the courts and
the members of the legal profession
generally. throughout the state. He
has held the offices of State Senator
and States attorney. the latter for
three terms. He has. also. been City
Attorney for Burlington. and the
esteem in which his service is held in
that community is well demonstrated
by the fact that in all important
litigation affecting the city's inter-
ests. chief reliance is still placed on
his legal advice. no matter who may
be occupying the office of City Attor.

Why Savings Banks Are
Essential.

Because people having money to
invest are often tempted by designing
persons to go inUo schemes which,
while promising large returns, usually
bring disaster.
PROBABLY there are no more shreWd.
far sighted, conservative Investors of
money than successful life insurance
companies.
They employ expert men-men who
make the study Of investments their
life work; who pass upon all applica-
tons for loans and investments; and
it is a fact which anyone can verify
by getting the insurance companies
reports, that four to five per cent
interest is all these companies are
able to make their loans average.
Those schemers who would go to
unsophlstlcated women or inexperi-
enced men and tell them that they
could just as vel get six per cent as
four, well know that if their schemes
were solid, substantial and safe, they
could borrow money by the million
from these life insurance companies.
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Company Of Hyde Park
never takes note paying over six
per cent.
If any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six
per cent, it turns it down, because it
wants no better evidence that it is
dangerous than the fact that it offers
to pay more than six per cent.
What is the result?
In its more than twenty three years
of existence, this bank has never lost
dollar by poor note.
"Safety rather than high rates of
interest" is its motto; and, knowing
this, depositors, not only from Yer
mont, but from every State in the
Union Except three) select the Hyde
Park Bank as place of deposit for
their savings.
You can send your funds there by
mail with absolute safety, and it is
perfectly safe TO send them either in
registered letter, postal money order,
bank draft, personal check, or ex-
press money order.
During the entire existence of the
hyde Park Bank, not a dollar sent to
it by mail has ever been lost
This bank pays four per cent, COM
pounded semi-annually, and pays all
taxes.
If you want to know all about it's
assets, liabilities, management etc.,
address letter to Carroll s. Page,
President, or F. M. Culver, Treasurer,
