Mr.. Fletcher On Taxation.

Whit could be more sane and sen
sible and in every way logical thar
the position of Hon. Allen NJ. Fletch
er of Cavendish, the Republican can
didate for governor, on the question
of taxation, which he believes to be
the paramount issue of the present
campaign in Vermont? It's contrast
with the untenable one Of Nominee
Howe of the Democratic party is alb
solute. At meeting of Caledonia
County town committeeman and other
politicians in st. Johnsbury last week
Mr.. Fletcher set forth his views on
the matter Of taxation very clearly,
and answered the claims of his Dem
ocratic opponent in a most forceful
way. Mr.. Howe believes the taxation
of corporations under the present
plan to be fundamentally wrong,
whereas the increasing expenses Of
the state government, which have
doubled since 1902, since which time
there has been no direct taxation in
Vermont, have been met by increas-
ing the taxation of the corporations
Could there be any clearer refutation
of the claim that the corporate inter
ests control Vermont politics and leg
islation? Can anyone doubt Mr..
Fletcher's statement that, we're the
law to be so changed that corporations
and individuals we're taxed at the

Mr.. Fletcher For the Party's Good

The more voters come into contact

orship, the more they are impressed
by his manifest determination to keep
faith with the people so far as lies in
his power to influence his party in
legislation, as well as to give the peo-
pie Of Vermont an administration that
will mean much for the material de
velopment of our commonwealth.
Mr.. Fletcher in conference with his
supporters has invariably sought to
impress upon them, and especially
those in official capacity in the cam.

Vermont must fulfill its sacred pledges

mere theory stated in general terms,
but concrete proposition which can
be spread upon our statutes the com

hands of our governor by giving him

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The Banner today publishes brief
symposium of comments from Yer
mont newspapers endorsing the state
republican ticket to be voted for next
Tuesday These selections have been
chosen for the reason that they APP
pear to contain arguments and no.
mere abuse of the men who have
been nominated for Office by other
parties. To our mind one OF the best
points made, and one that will be
found in a majority of the articles, is
the contention that the men who nave
been nominated by the republican
party of Vermont have had expert
ence.
With one exception, every nominee
on the republican ticket to be voted
next Tuesday has served the state OF
Vermont either in the actual admin
istration of the office for which ne
has been selected or in similar ca
pacity. Their records as public SER
wants have been before the people Of
this state for a number of years and
even the candidates who are opposing
their election next Tuesday, and who
are therefore most interested in the
defeat of the republican ticket, have
hunted for flaws in vain.
The combined record of the nomin-
ees of the republican party in YER
mont this year is one which not only
reflects credit upon the candidates
themselves but it is one of which the
people of Vermont should be proud.
They have accomplished things for
the good of the state of Vermont, in
fact it would be impossible to put be-
fore the people of the state, at the
present time, the names of similar
number of men who have done so
much to advance the material progress
of the state.
Admitting the situation, and it can
not be denied by the representative
of any other party, the logical act
for any voter next Tuesday who de-
sires to see the state of Vermont
continue along the road of real pro
gress is to vote the straight republi-
can ticket. In so doing he will en-
dorse the candidates. of men who are
standing upon record already made,
a record that speaks for itself. The
man who votes the straight republican
ticket will be voting for an establish
ed fact and not an experiment or an
untried theory.

only One Other State Like Vernon,

Only One other State Like Vermont.
Tax burdened Vermont" is a ia
vorite cry of political organizations
opposed to the Republican administra-
ton. Before the voters fall in line
with that sentiment, let them seri-
ously look at facts and base their
judgment on actual conditions. Do
you know that Vermont is the only
state, save one, without a direct tax
and without a debt? This is fact,
and one every Vermonter should
take pride in proclaiming. To what
is this due? To wise administration
of state affairs and just taxation of
while not burdensome or prohibitive
is sufficient to meet state expenses
and TIE large opportunities for the
work of advancing education. agricul
ture, forestry, highways, etc. 1t is
true the taxation of individual hold
ings needs changing TO make it more
just and equitable, but no method,
thus far advanced, is more just, prac-
ticable or surer of adoption than the
one proposed by the Republican par
ty and incorporated into its platform.
Is il sale or sane to waver in your
allegiance TO a party that has placed
Vermont first and foremost. in the
list of well administered state govern
menrs? Vote the Republican ticket
and send representatives to the legis-
lature who will see that party pledges
are carried out.-Groton Times.

Vote the Republican State Ticket.

The Republican state ticket is en-
titled to the support in the September
electifn of every man who calls him
self a Republican. Men who favored
Roosevelt as against Taft before the
convention and men who are opposed
to Taft on account of his attitude OF
the reciprocity question have no rea-
son in boiling the state ticket, e
If they are disposed to go against the
national ticket in November. Yer
mont is a progressive state today,
thanks to the good work which lead
ing Republicans have been doing
recent years. Not only is there nc
scandal and no suspicion connected
with the various departments of state
work today, but the efficiency of these
departments is everywhere recogniz
ed. A vote against the state ticket in
September will be a slap at such
faithful public servants as Secretary
OF State Guy w. Bailey. State Audit
or Horace f. Graham. State Highway
Commissioner j. h. Cushman, and
other officials within the Republican
ranks who are doing a great and va.
liable work in bringing Vermont into
the front rank of progressive com
monwealths. -Brattleboro Phoenix

same rate for the support of the state
government, the latter would be in
equitably burdened, for the reason
that the large indebtedness of many
of the corporations would enable them
to escape taxation altogether under
the exemption provision?
Continuing, Mr.. Fletcher said.
The serious taxation problem of Yer
mont is along the lines of intelligent
work to encourage the use of Yer
mont money in the developing of Yer
mont resources. The charge that the
loaning of money in this state is CON
trolled by a money trust is untrue,
but legislation 10 encourage the loan
ing of Vermont money within the
state will do more than anything else
to develop the state In New Hamp-
shire money loaned on New Hamp-
shire real estate at five per cent OF
less is exempt from taxation. This
law has aided wonderfully in the de-
velopment of New Hampshire and has
afforded material relief from double
taxation. Such law will help Yer
mont more than any one thing, and.
If you cannot get it through the Re,
publican party, you cannot get it at
all. This law should be free from
any fiat rate on intangibles, because
lower rate on intangibles is danger
ously near class legislation.
