Tariff in 1908.

Our apologies are rendered Edi-
tor Johnson of the Herald and News
We copied from the republican plat
form that was printed in year book
for 1908, and it was of course the
platform for 1904. This was our
mistake and not the mistake of
esquire Dunnett." In order to cor
rect the mistake we republish the
tariff plank of the republican plat
form of 1908.
THE Republican party declares
unequivOcally for a revision of the
tariff by a special session of Congress
Immediately following the Inaugural
ton of the next president, and COM
mends the steps already taken to this
end in the work assigned to the ap-
propriate committees of Congress,
which are now investigating the OPP
Grafton and effect of existing sched-
ules. In all tariff legislation the
true principle of protection is best
maintained by the imposition of such
duties as will equal the difference be-
tween the cost of production at
home and abroad, together with a
reasonable profit to American in
OuSIrl6S. We favor the 6SJdDllSl-
ment of maximum and minimum
rates to be administered by the pres
ident under limitations fixed in the
law, the maximum to be available to
meet discrimination by foreign
countries against American goods
entering their markets, and the
minimum to represent the normal
measure of protection at home; the
aim and purpose of the Republican
policy being not only to preserve,
without excessive duties, that secur-
ity against foreign competition to
which American manufacturers,
farmers and producers are entitled,
but also to maintain the high stand
ard of living of the wage earners
of this country, who are the most
direct beneficiaries of the protective
system. Between the United States
and the Philippines we believe in a
free interchange of products with
such limitations as to sugar and to-
bacco as will afford adequate pro-
lection to domestic interests -

Have one or two large game
refugees, especially for deer and elk.
This will prevent a repetition of the
condition existing when it was neces-
sary to import deer from the state
of New York to restock our forests.
Under our present laws game refugees
may be established by the commits
sioner. All that is lacking is funds.
To defray the expenses involved in
carrying out the recommendations
of a public nature / would suggest
an anglers license of SO cents or
a combination rod and gun license
of $1.OO. At present the hunters
are paying the bills for protecting
both fish and game. A division of
the burden would be more Just and
would result in funds sufficient to
carry out these recommendations.
We have got to look on our fish
and game crop as one to be foster
ed and harvested under certain wise
restrictions, just as one harvests
his poultry and other live stock, al
ways with an eye to next seasons
breeding stock.

John B. Burnham of New York,
president of the American Game
Protection and Propagation Society,

smart enough to steal. In New Eng

Virginia has declared itself in
favor of sheep rather than dogs and
has passed a law making it a mis-
demeanor punishable by fine up
to $50 for the owner to allow his
dogs to run at large in the country
unless he accompanies the dogs.
Under the law any Virginia farmer
can shoot any stray dog he sees upon
his premises and if the owner seeks
to recover he is liable to conviction
of allowing his dog to run at large
and a fine of $50. 1t is expected the
law will not affect many good dogs
but will clean up the dogs of the
poorer settlements that have been
obliged to ravage the country for a
living.

President Wilson is no longer an
advocate of one term only for a
president. He has had Vice-presi-
he will be candidate for reelection
President Wilson has been very for
tunate in having the European war
to bolster up prices for time and
of the democratic tariff on the farmer
but that may overtake him before
his first term is completed.

The suspension of the Montpelier
Journal is an admission of the failure
of personal political organs in Yer
mont and is a good omen for real
newspapers. The Journal was a good
newspaper but in political policies
it represented a person entirely out
of touch with local conditions and so
alienated the local support necessary
to make any Vermont paper a sue
cess.

Mexico receives but little attention
during the greater conflict in Europe
but the little heard does not give
promise of stable government there
We fear that President Wilson is not

The joint midsummer meeting of
the Caledonia Forest and Stream
Club and the Caledonia County
Farmers Association was a success
in every way but attendance. This
doubtless will be remedied next
year when it is found how conven-
iently the crowd can be accommodate
ed on the Fair Ground. These are
two organizations that should work
tremendously together as the success
of either one is to the advantage of
the other

We earnestly hope the state re-
publican convention today will
prove itself a servant of the public
rather than something that has been
sold by traders.

With the passage or the Clayton
antitrust bill congress completes
the administration program for the
regulation of business The anti
trust and trade commissions bills
contain some good features but they
are framed to catch the votes of or
ganized labor and the farmers. This
feature may kill rather than regulate
business and further paralyze legiti-
mate business of the country. The
European war will bolster up prices
for a time but the ultimate result
of democratic tinkering does not
promise permanent prosperity.

At the Savings Bank rate of four

SCI, 939. And 1 have said nothing
about insectivorous birds without the
aid of which authorities assert that
agriculture would be impossible.
Nor does the summary include
the returns from private preserves
in the form of artificial ponds and
deer parks, both of which are becom-
ing more numerous without being a
detriment to an ever jealous public
Most of these preserves make un-
productive land valuable and indi-
rectly raise the value of adjacent
property. A man in Roxbury who
lets his fishing privilege, remarked
that the revenue is as good as two
tons of hay.
The Cost of Regulations.
in 1867, was the first conservation
commission in Vermont. What is
this conservation commission cost
ing the state today?
For the maintenance of the fish
hatcheries and the conduct of the
Office of commissioner there is an
annual appropriation of $500. The
average annual income from fines,
not including costs, which have been
turned into the state treasury during
the last two years amounts to
$4,882, which deducted from the
above shows the actual cost for
which the state is taxed-$61S. 1
have purpOsely omitted the revenues
from hunters licenses which is not
a tax on the public.
If you business men and farmers
saw an opportunity to increase your
annual income SO to 100 per cent.
by investing 10 to 20 per cent,
would you hesitate about doing
it?
Fish culture is not an experiment
The waters of the state can be made
to produce SO to 100 per cent. more
fish. 1t is only a matter of dollars
and cents.
Changes Recommended.
In conclusion, let me mention
some of the things which ought to
be done to increase the value of the
states assets in fish and game:
Make a survey of every public
pond and lake in the state; decide
definitely as to policy for each and
nave IuO pOAICy do as
possible for a period of years.
Exterminte the coarser fish
which have got into some of the
trout ponds 10 to so acres in area,
and restore their pristine condition.
Have a fish hatchery or rearing
station in every county.
Keep the trout streams free from
pollution.
Put the warden system on a sal
airy basis; have fewer of them, but
raise the standard of efficiency.
Make some of the wardens game
keepers as well and see what we can
do to increase our stock of game
birds as well as fish.
Have more stringent laws in re-
gard to dogs running at large at
all seasons of the year. This recon-
mendation should be viewed from
the humane standpoint as we'll as
with the object of protecting wild
animals, including ground nesting
birds during their respective breed
ing seasons.
Encourage fish and game propa-
CATION farms as offering a legitimate
and profitable industry. Our pres
ent laws are very favorable to such
an industry.
1t is as easy to raise some of the
wild game birds, such as mallard
ducks of which l now have 70 on
the pond in front of my house, as
it is to raise domesticated birds.

Game.

Returning to Danville: A con-
servative estimate of woodcock and
grouse killed during the past season
is 200. Some towns yield more and
some less than this number. Let us
give 100 birds to each of 200 towns
or 10000 in all If marketed in
New York or Boston they would be
worth $500 to $500 per pair, but
to be conservative we will value them
at $4,000. It is safe to say that
10000 ducks we're killed in Yer
mont during the past season mostly
on Lake Champlain. In the New
York market domesticated malIards
are worth per pair from $500 up,
therefore $500 per pair or $40, 900
for last seasons bag is a conserva-
tive estimate.
1t is difficult to estimate on the
value of hares and squirrels. A
great many thousands of them are
annually killed and l believe that it
is conservative to say that their
market value is at least $4,000.
The average number of deer kill
ed annually the past five years is
2, 1863 with gross weight of 437,313
pounds. Figured at II cents per
pound this amounts to $52,477.56.
The deer statistics are based upon
the actual number of animals re-
ported, and the price is a conserva-
tive one.
1 have attempted to obtain sta
tistics as to the revenue from fur
bearing animals, but owing to the
limitations put upon my Office as to
clerical expenses, the work is quite
Reports have been re-
ceived from about 5000 trappers and
dealers in raw furs. From statistics
received it is safe to estimate the
annual revenue from fur bearing
animals the past two years at $780,
300.
