Mr.. Fletcher's Tax Inventories

There is nothing that touches the aver.
age Vermonter more than the tax ques'
ton and Just now attention is called to
Allen Fletcher's position on this import
ant matter. The Montpelier Argus has
propounded few questions to Mr..
Fletcher upon this important subject,
which it is hoped he will answer fully and
clearly.
And the last issue of the Brattleboro
Phoenix brings up the matter even more
decidedly in an editorial, which speaks
about, communications from Cavendish
people questioning MI. Fletcher's record
as taxpayer. Here is the editorial re-
ferred to-
What do YOU most admire in man
Isn't it sincerity?
The Phoenix has received communica-
tions from people in Cavendish question
ing the record of Allen M. Fletcher otthat
town as taxpayer.
In announcing his candidacy for the
Republican nomination for Governorlast
November Mr. Fletcher, in outlining the
policies which he favored, said that spec
ial attention should be devoted 'to the
removal of the inequalities in the burden
of taxation"
The best test of Mr.. Fletcher's sincerity
in this matter would be a free and frank
statement of his own record as a tax
payer
Mr.. Fletcher is reputed to be man of
great wealth, in fact he is frequently re
ferred to as a millionaire The complaint
is often made that the great difficulty
with the operation of our tax laws is
that the people of large wealth seem to
escape their fair share of the burden of
taxation.
Inasmuch as the record of Mr.. Fletcher
on the tax question has been raised i'll
his own townit would be entirely proper
for him as candidate for the highest eX:
ecutive office IN the state, to take tine
people of the whole state into his conf
dence and to tell them exactly what the
facts in the case are.
If Mr.. Fletcher or any of his staunch
supporters will tell just what he has
done in making out his inventory of taxes
since he became a resident of Cavendlsh
The Phenix will gladly publish the state
ment.
This paper awaits Mr.. Fletcher's an
swer to the above and, like the Phoenix,
the News and Citizen will be pleased to
publish his statement. AS an aspirant
or the high and important office of Gov
ernor, it is due the people of the state
that Mr.. Fletcher state his position in
this respect.

She Went Snow Shoeing Alone

One OF our popular young lady school
teachers is very fond of snow.shoeing
aud so one day, after an arduous days
work in hammerng knowledge into a
score or so of INTERPRETATIONS. to-learn
students, she sought relief for the tired
brain by strapping on her snow shoes
and tramping up and down the hill
sides. All went we'll until she was pass

gamboling in the road. Now just as she
saw the colt the colt saw her; and then
the colt saw his chance for froIic. He
| approached the damsel with mrth in his
eye, dancing a two-step or rather four
step, with great agility. 1t was "all
hands around" and "balance all" for
some time, the colt approaching and the
young lady backing tearfully away, say
ing in tender and appealing tones, " Nice
pony; go away coltie!" But the more
she besought him the more he sought her,
until finally she backed up against tree
and in dire distress she pulled off her
snow-shoes and holding them in front of
her as protection again appealingly
cried out mice pony; now do go away
coltie-shoo" Twas of no avail. With

and took nibble at the w.shocs.
This was too much. Whether to faint or
scream she did not know. What would she
do? Fortunately, just as she was about
to collapse farmland espied her sorry
predicament and went to her rescue and
drove off the colt. With many express
sions of gratitude the young lady pro-
ceeded homeward with snow-shoes under
her arm, fully determined that in snow
shoeing hereafter she would take COM
pany along.
