BEAUTIFUL ST. JOHNSBURY
A Former Resident Writes an Ap-
probation of the Scenery and
Pageant

To the Editor:
As an old resident of st. Johns
bury, and, by the way, graduate
of the Caledonian Office, I cannot
resist the inclination to write a few
lines expressing my qualification in
being able to be present at this
time, and to revel in the beauties of
my old home town.
Leaving here soon sitter the Civil
War, and returning but once, about
rs years ago, the changes seen on
every hand are indeed wonderful.
The thing that most strongly i'm
pressed me was the REPRESENTATION
that has taken place in the lapse OF
time. In the old days it seems to
me that the hills had been compar-
atively denuded of trees, but now
what a complete change! Those who
are accustomed to seeing the woods
from day to day probably do not APP
preciate the gradual encroachment
of greenery that is surely going on
but it appealed to me at once.
In a stroll up Main street the 9th
er day / recognized some of the old
landmarks, if one may so term them,
that brought back past associations.
There is the old South church, re
plete with memories; my old home
across the street, looking much the
same. except that it is improved
with an added porch; the old Full
Ter house, which looks very much as
of old; then the ST. Johnsbury house
with it's noble pillared portico;
farther along the North church,
than which there is not a finer house
| of worship intellectually, in many
large city; yet a little way and one
sees the beautiful home Of my old
friend and schoolmate, George
Howe, who, to my great sorrow, has
| lately passed to the Beyond; and
then the Paddock mansion, that fine
old type of days colonial. 1t seems
as if l could go on indefinitely, did
space and recollection permit. All
! the residences, and the grounds sur
rounding them, appear to be in per-
| feet condition. and are, indeed most
beautiful
And the Pageant! From the ap-
pearance of the Spirit of the Wilder
ness to the exquisite final tableau
enjoyed every minute. What a mag
nificent setting for the entertain
ment, to be sure! The view from
the grandstand across the village,
with its tree-embowered roofs and
heaven-pointing steeples, on and on
to the green hills, dotted with farm
houses here and there, was en-
chanting. 1t was too beautiful!
The members of the Commercial
! Club and the ladies of the different
organizations are certainly to be
commended for originating such a
fine spectacle and carrying it out so
successful a conclusion.
The whole performance was a
| liberal education.

The Loaning of Money

We recommend changes in the
laws that will equalize the tax of
the individual lenders of money and
savings institutions, and urge that
as far as practicable the ultimate
benefit of such lowered rate be as
sured the borrower.-From the
State Republican Platform of 1912.
In adopting this plank the repub-
lican party of the state has commit
ted itself to a proposition that it
hopes will encourage he investment
of Vermont money in Vermont and
lead to the borrowing of money by
deserving young people to enable
them to begin successful business
enterprises within their native state.
The purpose of this recommendation
must commend itself to every person
and it is one of the positive policies
of the party in this campaign.
The necessary changes in the law
must include a uniform rate of tax
alton throughout the state on mon
ey loaned no matter in what town
the loaner or borrower may reside.
Otherwise there would be but few
towns in which the individual could
loan money and receive a reasonable
income from his money even if loan
ed at the highest legal rate, six per
cent. If this rate was made the
same as the present rate paid by saw
ings banks, seven-tenths of one per
cent, the individual could loan his
money for five per cent interest and
have it net him three tenths of one
per cent more than he now receives
from the bank. If the law was
changed so that money loaned on
Vermont securities at a rate of in
terest not exceeding four and one
half per cent should be exempt from
all taxation the net income on
money loaned would be one-half of
one per cent better than the banks
can pay and would guarantee the
borrower the ultimate benefit of the
lowered rate.
Vermonters have money to loan
and they would loan it to build up
home industries if they could do so
as a1vantagecusly as elsewhere.
Some idea of the money Vermonters
have to loan is shown by the report
of the State Bank Commissioner for
1911 which says there are 1850
residents of the state that have $26,
725,211.73 deposited in Vermont
savings banks and trust companies.
There is of course much more in
vested outside the state by Vermont
ers. So it is evident there are mil
lions of Vermont money that can be
used for the development of Vermont
business If the legislation of the
state encourages it. The recommen-
dation of the republican party is in
favor of such legislation and makes
the party worthy of the support of
every person believing in larger
and more prosperous Vermont.

MIR. Howe is in Error

Harland B. Howe, democratic can
didate for governor, in making a
speech at Burlington stated that the
reason the taxes OF the individual
are increasing from year to year is
the republican party back in 1885
took the railroads out of local taxa
ton and since then have taken away
from the town grand lists the insur-
ance, telegraph, telephone and ex-
press companies representing mil
lions of dollars. We can hardly &C
cept this as a valid reason. In the
first place we would like to be shown
a town in Vermont through which a
railroad passes that has a smaller
grand list today than it had in 1886.
Should such a town be found We

support of public schools. OF this
sum 100000 (which is to be com
pared with nothing in 1900 was d.
vided among the towns paying so
cents or more on a dollar for the
support of legal schools and the re-
mainder was divided between the
towns according to the number Of
legal schools maintained.
1t will be seen that the state
school funds now are not distribu-
ted according to population but ac-
cording to what it costs the towns
to support public schools. The $780,
600 reserve fund is divided on the
following basis: Towns paying from
so to SO cents on dollar one share;
paying from so to So cents, one and
one half shares; paying from 20 to
10 cents, two shares; paying from
80 to SO cents, two and one hall
shares; paying from 80 to SO cents
three shares; paying from 100 to
109 cents, three and one half shares
The less able a town is to properly
educate it's children the more state
aid it gets. Will the voters of the
small towns vote against their bene
factors in the coming state election
or will they stand by the party thai
seeks to aid them in developing good
citizenship?

A COMMUNICATION
A Prohfbftionist Writes In Defence
of Clement-F. Smith

"A Prohibitionist Writes In Defence
of Clement #. Smith
Editor of The Caledonian:
In the interests of truth permit me
to correct an error which appeared In
your editorial of recent date.
Clement F. Smith was not an after
thought as the standard bearer for
the Prohibition party of this state;
but was the first choice or the party
for it's candidate for governor before,
at, and ever since the state conven-
ton in Montpelier the fourth day of
July, 1912. The only reason his
name was not presented by the NOM
mating committee was because he
had refused to permit us to make use
of his name. A question arose as to
the advisability of nominating the
man whose name we did present, on
account of his absence, and a lady
delegate, high in the councils of the
w. G. T. U. arose and presented Mr..
Smiths name in nomination. 1t was
quickly seconded, but out ofdeference
to Mr.. Smith he was permitted to
withdraw his name.
Since the convention great deal
of pressure has been brought to bear
on Mr.. Smith to accept the nomina-
ton, and he has yielded to the
wishes of those who are anxious to
make him the next governor of Yer
mont I would like to add:
He did not favor Mr.. Fletcher's
nomination rather than Mr.. De-
Beers; and 1 am not prepared to de-
fend him for that judgment, but a
good many republicans are.
He also may not have been as
sharp in horse trading as some I'M
principled fellows, but he has demon
strated his ability to acquire a good
property as a practical farmer, and
is therefore the ideal candidate for
governor of this agricultural state.
Thanking you for so much space
in your much appreciated paper, l
am,
Very sincerely yours,
E. e. PHILLIPS,
Field Secretary Prohibition State
Committee.

should still want to be shown that
the removal Of the railroad prop
erty from local taxation is respon-
sible for such a decrease in the town
grand list.
Not only are the grand lists of
railroad towns larger than they were
in 1886 but by taking these corpora
tions out of the local tax lists and
placing them in a state tax list the
republican party has relieved the
towns of paying the expenses. of the
state government. The towns have
gained more than they have lost by
this change.
Furthermore the state is raising
and expending more money for the
maintenance of highways and
schools in the various towns than in
1886. This is of more benefit to the
towns than any loss their grand list
may have suffered. In view of these
facts we maintain that Mr. Howe
| is wrong in his claim that subjecting
the corporations to state taxation
only is responsible for the increase in
individual taxes. The republican
party is willing to assume the re-
sponsibility for the present system of
corporation taxation and it is pre-
pared to show that corporations are
paying more taxes than ever before
and that the taxes are distributed
so they help more people than any
other system yet proposed.

Chairman of Pageant Committee EX-
presses Thanks to Participants
The chairman of the Pageant COM
mittee realizes the impOssibility of
producing such a Pageant as has
been given without the splendid CO.
operation received from all those
who took part. To the end that the
public as well as those participating
may know the deep appreciation and
profound gratitude of the committee,
it wishes to thank all for their gen.
erOus backing.
To Mr.. Langdon whose mind Great
ed the framework that so beautiful
ly portrayed the noble sentiments,
traditions and facts of the town s
history, and whose guiding hand led
the events of the week to brilliant
close is due the highest commenda-
ton.
To Mr.. Peters, whose music re-
vealed him to be a composer of SUI
perior ability and whom the town is
proud to recognize as a thorough
going musician, the committee eX-
tends unstinted praise and unquali-
fed appreciation.
To Miss Randall, whose entrance
into her chosen profession the Pag-
cant emphasizes in very striking
manner, so manifesting her art as to
make US all proud that she lives in
our midst, is due great praise. Miss
Randall won the plaudits of all, for
she certainly gave such an exhibition
of her art and skill as to leave no
doubt as to her very great ability.
To Mrs. Langdon, whose artistic
designs of heraldry and costumes
manifested her great skill and made
the final expression so beautiful and
full of meaning, great credit is due
as well as thanks.
To the committee on costumes,
Rhbse hitherto unknown but ire
mendous effort in properly costum-
ing the people was plainly manifest

President Taft has vetoed the leg
islative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill because it contained
an amendment limiting the term of
civil service employees of the gov
eminent to seven years. He does
this because he does not believe in
such a law and believes it is wrong
for congress to attach substantive
legislation to an appropriation bill.
This veto is another example of
Pres. Taft's fidelity to what he be-
lieves is right regardless of its eff
feet on him personally. His veto
holds UP his own pay as president
but he refuses to approve of what
he believes is wrong even if he is
obliged to wait for his salary.
