Mr.. Howe Calls Names.

Here is Candidate Howe talking
about the " Republican machine. in
the opening rallyof the Democratic
campaign in Burlington Wednesday
night. Will the Democrats - the
outs NEVER stop talking about a
machine" in Vermont and listen a
moment 70 the praise of Republican
achievement
But Mr.. Howe has been in the
Vermont Legislature; very good
record he made, too, after upsetting
heavy Republican majority in his
home town of st. Johnsbury, and he
seems to be convinced of the exist
ence of a machine that is in fine
working order through the agency
of the Senate. And some recent leg
islation adds weight to his charges
of corruption. atT
Mr.. Howe talks about unequal
taxation as one of the things that
the political machine in Vermont has
done for u.s." The railroads and
other corporations, he, declares,
ought to pay just the same rate as
the farmer, as the merchant, as the
doctor, the lawyer, as everyone.
And how are the railroads taxed ?
They pay two and one-half per cent.
on their gross earnings. And what
would We have and how much tax
could we claim if we passed a law
that the farmer should be taxed on
his gross earnings ? Who could find
out anything about it, or know any
thing about what his gross earnings
were except that farmer? Well, that
is the way they tax railroads.
Well, Estate affairs uppermost" in
this campaign, as an exchange sug-
gests, and we. hope Mr. Howe will
keep on, drive few things home to
the people, and not be switched off
on national topics.
