Injustice to Vermont Banks
tFrom the Randolph Herald)


Whatever its merits, the Democratic
currency bill which passed the house last
week, has one feature which will not
commend it to many people who stop to
think. 1t provides that national banks
having savings departments shall paw
no taxes to the state in which they are
located. This not only robs the states
OF much.needed revenue, but gives the
National banks such decided advantage
over the state savings Institutions
which are taxed on their deposits as to
threaten the latter seriously. Vermont
has both kinds of banks. At present it
taxes both alike, but with the national
banks exempt, as they will be under this
currency bill, it will lose many thousands
OF dollars in taxes annually, while the
national savings departments so favored
will be able either to loan at lower
rates than the state banks or to paw
their depositors and stockholders better.
With the added opportunity given ma
tional banks to loan on real estate secur-
ity, also provided by this bill, our
savings institutions face unfair and un-
equal competition.

soon come to him.
The funeral which was held from the
Cong'l church Tuesday afternoon, was

The interment was in the family plot in

the funeral director
Franklin E. Sawyer was son of the
late Joshua and Mary Sawyer. He
was born in Hyde Park in 1887. All Of
his life, except three years in the army
was spent here, he being engaged in vari-
Gus occupations; for severalyears, before
the railroad was built, he drove the stage
between this place and Johnson, and for
time engaged in the livery business.
Sept. IA, 1861, he enlisted in Co. /,
First Vt. Cavalry and year later was
promoted company commissary sergeant.
He was honorably discharged Nov. 10,
1864.
Mr. Sawyer was twice married, his
first wife being Miss Lizzie NJ Wood,
who died in 1888. BY her he had one
son, Lawrence, who died in 1908 at the
age of 80 years. In 1905 he married Mrs.
Alzada Smith, who survives him and
who has ministered to him during his
long illness with the devoutness of true
helpmate.
Mr.. Sawyer was of that disposition
that made many friends; he believed III
the golden rule and so far as in his power
lived up to its teachings. He will be |
missed by many.

two members now survive, Col. Sswver

The New Tariff

BY attaching his signature to the I'm
derwood-Simmons tariff bill last Friday
the President gave force and effect to the
promises and pledges of the Democratic
party. and has put the fiscal system OF
the country on a solidly tariff for revenue
basis.
The new tariff bill makes possible the
freer importation of foreign made goods,
thus stimulating keener competition be-
tween our own manufacturers and for
eign producers than was necessary under
the Payne-Aldrich bill, which the Under
wood measure supersedes.
No less interesting is the imposition of
the income tax which this bill carries as
one of its provisions and which was
made necessary by the abolition of i'm
port duties on various articles of com
merce which curtailed customs revenue.
The President rejoices over the outcome
of the long battle for tariff revision. He
declares that it marks the half way
stage towards the complete realization
of that New Freedom" of which he has
vision. Whether the optimism of the
President and his enthusiastic followers
is justified time alone will tell. Since the
days of Alexander Hamilton, free trade
and protection have been alternately
tried in this country. Individually, the
republic prospered under the protective
system which has long been the shibbo-
leth of the Republican party and on
which it won many victories On the
other hand, history will show that low
tariffs have made the country sick and
have invited disaster.
But this economic change may, as the
President has suggested, bring about
more business.like methods and practices
among our manufacturers; it may com.
pei them TO sharpen their wits" as Mr..
Wilson has advised, and may move them
to adopt expedients which will enable
them to meet the sharp competition of
foreign producers which now confronts
them.
