GOVERNOR TELLS

TAXATION REFERE md U M
Executive Advises That Troublesome

People.
TAXATION REFEREND DUN

Montpelier, Feb. 1.-THE General
Assembly convened at $50 tonight
for the 18th week of the session and
there was a quorum in both branches.
feature in the lower branch was
I the rece. pit of a communication from
Gov. Fletcher, urging final adjourn
ment this week and suggesting that
the carinal propositions of taxation,
as discussed by this Legislature, be
referred 20 the people. Another fea-
ture was me introduction OF a bill
providing for direct tax. No at
! tempt was made to reconsider the
tax bill passed after the stormy de-
bate Friday afternoon though it was
limited all day today that some such
attempt might be made. The follow
ing is the text of Gov. Fletcher's
message:
"To the Honorable Senate and
House OF Representatives.
"Gentlemen:-
81 can see no valid reason why
this Legislature should remain in ses-
sion longer than the present week. |
| trust the Senate and House will
reach some agreement on the tax
| question, but should this be impos-
sible, | believe it to be your duty 10
submit the three cardinal PROPOSE
tons; First, the adjustment OF oil
sets; second. the fiat or preferential
rate, carrying with it the abolition
| of Offsets; third, the exemption of
money loaned within the state at
five per cent, to the people, in the
! form of a referendum for their final
action.
During the last 10 years a great
deal OF time and money has been ex-
pended in an endeavor to settle the
tax question. Up to this time, no
tangible result has been produced
other than to bring the issue so
squarely before the people that they
ought to be able to determine just
what change, il any, they wish to
make in our present law. Therefore
if you do not pass a new law, your
failure to submit the propositions
you have been discussing would be
tantamount to showing lack OF
trust in the people.
ALLEN NJ. Fletcher,
Governor"

BOTH RAILROADS
AND MEN READY
FOR A STRIKE
Neither Party to Controversy
Appears Sincere
CONFERENCES ALL FUTILE
Each Side Endeavoring to Put Re-
sponslblIlty For Trouble on the
Other.

New York, Feb 18.-There is
small chance that the differences be-
tween the ffty-four railroads OPP
Grating east of Chicago and the more
than $4,000 flremen employed by
them will be settled without a strike,
if statement made yesterday on
high authority be true. This state
ment set forth that neither the rail
roads nor the firemen were sincere
in their attitude toward arbitration,
but that each of them earnestly de-
sired strike and was jockeying, not
TO find a means of peaceful settle
ment, but to put the other before the
public as having forced the strike.
Judge Martin A. Knapp of the
United States Commerce Court and
C. w. W. Hanger, Acting Unitv
States Commissioner of Labor, held
frequent but futile conferences yes
terday with the Conference Commit
tee of Railroad Managers and w
the Firemens Adjustment committee.
Expressions which passed between
President William S. Carter of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen and Elisha Lee,
Chairman of the railroad managers,
were not calculated to bring them
any nearer an amicable settlement
of their differences.
Most important of all, in It's bear
ing on the imminence of a strike,
was the news from Philadelphia that
the Pennsylvania Railroad was max
ing elaborate preparations for
trouble. The company's warehouse
at Sixteenth and Market streets, Phil
adelphia, resembles an arsenal. 1t
is stocked with munitions of war.
There are rifles and revolvers stored
there, and there is a plentiful supply
of ammunition for them.
For weeks the Pennsylvania, II
became known yesterday. had been
recruiting men to take the places oil
the fremen. And these recruits are
not of the usual strike breaking
class. They are men who at one
time or another have taken the Pen
nsylvanias examination for employ
ment as firemen, and for various rea
sons have failed TO get jobs
Word has been sent to each oil
these men, the names taken from
lists of applicants made up as Ions
| ago as ten years, to be ready to re
port for work at once at any time
of the day or night The road is saiC
to be certain that at least 1000 mer
will respond to this call. Other
| roads are believed to have takeI
similar precautions. and it is ex
| pected that when the strike comes
the roads will be able to put large
force of new men on the engines.

WORDS
Words by Julia E. siennis-

There are many thought that are
thoughts, dear,
That would do good II they we're
sent.
There are many words that are said
dear,
That we very often repent.
There are people whose hearts are
breaking
For a kind word here below,
So If you truly love them,
Take time to tell them so.
There are the little babies,
God sent them here below
To comfort and Help the weary,
And to make this old world grow.
Their life has Just begun, dear
They have many miles to go.
So if you truly love them,
Take time TO tell them so.
There are the young, the middle aged,
They laugh, their hearts seems light
And yet they may have troubles
They are lighting with all their
might.
This world is not always happy,
That we all surely know.
So if you truly love them,
Take time to tell them so.
There are the weak and aged,
Their forms are withered and bent,
Their hearts are heavy within them,
To die they would be content.
Their health is not very good, dear
We can't tell when they will so.
So II you truly love them
Take time TO tell them so.
There are the very poor people,
Who work for their daily bread.
They have to earn by the sweat of
their brow,
The very roof over their head.
They are very often troubled
| BY things we do not know.
So II you truly love them
Take time to tell them so.
There are the rich. rich people,
oh yesl They have plenty of wealth,
But yet they might miss from their
casket
| That precious jewel named health,
They may have wealth untold dear,
And yet have hearts full of woe,
So II you truly love them,
Take time to tell them so.

must seek to recover its lost spiritual
power The minister should look to
Bod, for aid from on high rather than
No conventions, conferences and tho like.
