BENNINGTON, VT, JULY "a, 1912
THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

egates to the county convention will
be held at Apollo hall on Friday
evening of this week There is a
prospect for some divergence of
opinion, to put it mildly, and if the
Republican voters turn out the gath
ering is likely to prove of more than
ordinary interest.
There are plenty of candidates for
the senatorship and, so far as the
Banner knows, more for the other
places on the ticket. None of the
senatorial candidates have been very
active and the situation is in many
respects peculiar No one appears
to have had nerve enough TO prepare
a slate or even suggest one and it
appears as though the questions
would be entirely in the hands OF
those who attend the caucus.
Those who have been suggested for
senator in the north shire are Henry
w. Abbott of Landgroye, Merritt B..
Roberts of Rupert, ] X. Batchelder
of Arlington, Reuben Bentley OF
Sandgate, George L. Richardson and
NJ. J. Hapgood of Peru. There may
be others but these are all we can
remember.
In the south shire those who have
been mentioned are Norman Matti-
son of Glastonbury, w. d. Howe of
Readsboro, Robert j. Sanford of
Stamford, Dexter NJ. Gleason OF
Woodford, II. A. Bottum of Shafts
bury and DR.. +. +. Potter OF Pow
nal. Not all of these gentlemen are
candidates and some OF them will be
surprised to see their names in this
list as they are not even aware that
they have been talked about.
1t looks as though this would be a
good opportunity for the voters to Sc
lect their own candidates. None of
those mentioned have made an ag-
gressive canvass and if the voters
have any earnest desires or convic-
tons on the subject they will never
have a better opportunity to make
them felt.
The Banner is urging the cause Of
no particular candidate but it does
urge the voters to guard their own
interests by attending the caucus.
The county convention will in all
probability select the two senators
from Bennington county and the
senate is in many respects the most
important legislative body.
1t has two often happened that the
senate has failed in enacting desir-
able legislation for the reason that
some of hte senators, after the cleo
ton, have been found to be too much
Influenced by certain men and inter.
ests outside. The time to guard
against this condition is in advance
1t may be that the two senators
from Bennington county will hold the
balance of power in that body. One
man has sometimes done it. Fol
that reason the Republican voters oil
Bennington and Bennington county
should see TO it that the men they
nominate can be relied on to SUI
and work for the interests of the
rank and file of the people Of Yer
mont.
This is a campaign of issues ana
not of men. The voters can attend
the caucuses and make up their own
ticket or they can stay at home and
let few interested persons do it for
them. Those with an axe to grind
those who have some scheme to fur
Their will be at the caucus. It does
no good to kick afterwards. Turn
out to the caucus and take matters
into your own hands.

absolutely necessary buildings and
grounds with the meagre sum of $l6,2H.-
IS spent for the same purposes during
the present administration and note how
pitiable the contrast. To meet this ex-
traordinary expenditure, Gov. Fcrnald
had but the three mills State tax of 1908
and the three mills State tax of 1903 and
the indirect taxes of 1909 and 1910. or 8
mills of State tax in the two years. and
yet he left but 620,7S3 of unpaid war
rants and the temporary loan. To meet
this he had provided an Increase in the
state tax of 1910 of $S56,494 which be-
came available in 1911 So while this adj
ministration is boasting of paying the
bills of the Fernald administration, ev-
cry intelligent voter knows that not one
dollar of it was raised by the Demo-
cratic Legislature: for of the mills
state tax raised by it but $4,000 had
been paid in up to Jan. /, 1912, and not
a dollar of that had been used, for there
was on that date $4,000 cash in the
treasury, and every dollar of that had
been raised by laws passed by Republic
can Legislatures. except the $4,000 above
referred to, and about $4,000 Increased
railroad and other corporation taxes,
raised by the present administration,
So, aside from the two last items men
toned. amounting to some S2S5,0oo every
dollar this administration has handled
up to Jan. /, 1912, with which they claim
to have paid so much of the debt. to-
gether with S167.0e of that in the treas
ury on Jan. /, was provided by Repub-
lican Legislatures. 1t does not look much
like bankrupt State and an "empty
treasury" does it?
And they claimed because Fernald had
used some $4,000 of the cash in the
treasury on Jan. l, 1909, to build nearly
100000 worth of needed buildings and
purchase the land for some of them,
that 1t ought to be counted as a deficit

What TO Do With Old Farms.

An Ohio farmer is solving the
probJern Of what to do with wornout
farm in an interesting manner He
owns an old homestead of sixty acres,
which he is DESTROYS of keeping in the
family. He does not live on the
place. however for the reason that
farming on II has of late years been
a decidedly losing proposition. Now
he meets the problem by decision to
plant the entire tract to trees. AL
ready he has set out $4,000 Norway
spruee. 80 feet apart each way. or an
area of about IL acres. These trees
he proposes to cut as they become
large enough for Christmas trees.
Chestnut seedlings will be planted in
the spaces left BY removal of the
spruce, andeit IS expected that these
will come into bearing by the time the
last spruce is cut. In addition to the
spruce. hardy eatalpa, black locust
elm. box elder and sycamore have been
planted He expects to put the en-
tire SO acres into forest, within five or
six years.
We predict that within the next 70
years many Maine farmers will have
awakened to the necessity of extern
siye reforestation. We believe this
Ohio farmer is wise in planting sew
eral kinds of trees instead of confin-
ing himself to one species, and were
Maine land owners to attempt any
thing of the sort, they would do we'll
to intimate his example to the extent
of variety. adopting. however. diff
ferent line of species. The Ohio
farmer, should his dream come true,
will be producing six or seven kinds
of lumber, chestnuts for the market
and Christmas trees, all at the same
time.
Great tracts of Maine soil have been
stripped of their forest growth, wan
tonly and needlessly, sometimes under
one excuse and sometimes another,
but more often with the idea of the
necessity of greater pasturage areas
The younger generation having the
advantage of expert advice in our
agriculturat schools and in the mono
graphs sent out by the national and
state agricultural departments, are
.aain, tt,a ax-flc af the old exfrayapa Mt
way of stripping the land. and are
not only adopting the policy of con-
servation but also of restoration.
Perhaps in the case of the Ohio
farmer for which we are indebted to
r. b. Sando, in the June Outing, they
will find an inspiration for treating
some of their at present almost use
less acres

Way Democrats Pay Bills.

fSditor kennebec Journal.
asked one of the most prominent
Democratic members of the present
Legislature from Kennebec county, what
appropriation or expense of the Fernald
administration he could find fault with.
or that he thought was not needed Or
extravagant, and he said that: 1.-THE peo-
pie found lots of fault with the expense
OF the Sturgis commission, and about so
often they wanted change anyway" /
reminded him that the Sturgis commits
sion created expense only in counties
where the officers We're criminally neg
llgent counties, and not on those where
the officials enforced the law. And IL
the simple desire for change was all
an expert could think of, what intelligent
reason could the layn1an formulate?
Every Intelligent and progressive citi-
zen must be proud of the splendid admin
istration of Gov. Fernald He expended
for new buildings mot one of this DEM
ocratic member could find a word of fault
WITH the sum of $500, 550SS, and for
land tand this includes the splendid ex-
pertinent orchard FARM SIS 700. Making
a total of 1918, 250SS. And with all the
cry of extravaganza in the campaign
of 1910 the Democrats did not specify
one of those expenses as unnecessary,
but acclaimed loudly against the expense
of the Sturgis Commission. while II the
officials had collected the statute fines
against the liquor dealers which the
Sturgis deputies brought into court It
would have brought into the State treas
ury a net revenue of over $4,000 during
Fernalds administration.
Now cOfnpara this grand outlay Tor
