GRAND JURY SPENT BUSY DAY
Investigating The LYNCHING

The people not only of this county
but of this great state, look to you to
vindicate them against this shameful
disgrace. The path Of duty is plain
and simple. No need to err therein.
Let US not act with any desire to sat
isfy popular clamor, or attain popular
applause, or with any fear of adverse
criticism, but solely with the desire to
measure up to our duty.
The oath that has been administered
to you should control you in your du-
ties. 1t exacts at your hand diligent
inquiry and then a true presentment
as the result of that inquiry without
regard to whether it be a true-bill or
no-bill. A juror can never be other
wise than upright, impartial and con-
servative in the discharge of these
duties. Remember that part of your
oath that requires you to keep secret
all that transpires before you as
Grand Jurors. Be true to yourselves.

RELIEF FROM HEAT
COMING This Week
Extreme Heat to Be Broken
By Tuesday

Washington, D. c., June 30.-An
end is in sight to the hot wave that
has held sway over the central states
for several days. In its weekly bulle-
tin just issued, the weather bureau
predicted that the extreme heat would
be broken in the plains states Monday

will move slowly eastward.
East of the Mississippi river, warm
weather will prevail the first half OF
the week, followed by moderate tenn
peratures after Wednesday or Thurs
day The rainfall during the week will
be light and local. A disturbance that
row covers the plains states will ad-
vance slowly eastward, attended by
local thunderstorms, and cross the
great central valleys about Tuesday
and the eastern states Thursday"

Tax Reform Suggestions

/. Exempt all money loaned or in
vested within Vermont, whether by
oank or Individual, when the visible
property on which It is invested is
otherwise taxed
That would put an end to double
taxation of all kinds. 1t would also
place all lenders on an equality ana
WIDEN the opportunities for people to
borrow. 1t would further tend TO re-
luce the borrowing rate of interest
oy the amount represented by the ex-
emption.
2. Tax only visible property, boCh
real and personal, and that at the To-
cal rate in the city or town where il
S located, and tax is to the actuai
owner thereof, making no account o.
The socalled intangibles, except
money itself.
That would give a certain and
tangible basis for taxation, consist
ing of property values, not paper GER
.ihcates showing Claims against or
Investments therein.
3. Tax interest bearing deposits in
banks as at present. exempting there
rom the portion represented by
loans placed in Vermont.
This would reach all money that IL
is possible to tax, in practice, and
preserve to the state large amount
Of the revenue now realized from the
Oanks. II would also tend 10 keep
Vermont money at home at the more
favorable rate
1. These steps taken, abolish all of

VOCATIONAL TRAINING FAILS
Classes In District CT Columbia Sus-
pended for Lack of interest

Wash ngton, Feb. although
directly under the eye of the federal
bureau of education which preached
vocational training in the public
schools of the country, the school
system of the District of Columbia,
apparently has found the experiment
more or less OF failure.
Lack of interest in the special
classes has made it necessary to sus-
pend several teachers and orders
probably will go out today from the
board of education, granting forced
leave" to several.
Some of the special classes were
found to be so small that their con
tinuation was deemed inadvlsable.
