Congress is now engaged in one
of the important contests of history,
action on the Sims bill to repeal the
law passed August "a, 1912, exempt
ing American vessels engaged in the
coastwise trade from paying tolls in
the Panama canal. AS is well known
this action is requested by the presi-
dent because he says; Il shall not
know how to deal with other matters
of even greater delicacy and nearer
consequence if you do not grant it
(the repeaD to me in ungrudging
measure" The bill has been passed
by the house by a good majority and
has gone to the senate where 1T has
been referred to the committee on
inter oceanic canals.
The issue is this. The president,
his supporters and some of the prom
inent republicans of congress claim
that the exemption of American yes
sells engaged in coastwise trade is
a violation of the treaty made with
England of which section one of arti-
Gle three reads:
1.-The canal shall be free and open
to the vessels of commerce and war
of all nations observing these rules
on terms of entire equality, so that
there shall be no discrimination
against any such nation or its citizens
or subjects in respect of the condi-
tions or charges of traffic or other
wise. Such conditions and charges
of traffic shall be just and equitable -
The advocates of repeal further
contend that the exemption OF yes
sells engaged in coastwise trade is
simply a gift to ship owners who al
ready have a monopoly of the coast
wise trade through the law restrict
ing coastwise trade to vessels of
American register.
The opposition claims that vessels
engaged in coastwise traffic are re-
stricted by law to American vessels
and that American vessels engaged
in anything but coastwise trade being
subject to tolls the same as other
ships there is no discrimination
against foreign countries in the pres
ent exemption. They also quote the
following opinion of A Mitchell Innes
of the British embassy in a note to
the state department on July S, 1912,
that IF the trade should be so reg
ulated as to make il certain that
only bonafide coastwise traffic, which
is reserved for United States vessels,
would be benefited by this exemp-
ton. it may be that no objection
could be taken, but il appears to my

Full Publicity Would Help

There has been trouble in the pro-
gressive camp, the Burlington Clip
per admits il. 1t then declares il has
been settled and goes on to say:
In a way these differences were
personal and in no manner can the
character or standing of the party
be injured. If any wrong was found
it was righted. This is frank ana
clean way to meet conditions or THIS
kind. This much can be said--the
Progressive party has emerged from
its difficulty with it's slate clean and
it's honor unsullied.
While it may be true the trouble
has been fully settle within the
party some very damaging rumors
are being repeated from mouth to
mouth, rumors so serious we dare
not print them without more definite
knowledge. These rumors affect 9.
H Thompson, and his alleged acts
having been performed in connection
with the responsible position he held
for months in the progressive party
unavoidably discredit that organ
ization.
That party has been a staunch adj
vocate of publicity of campaign ex-
penses. 1t should now make full
and honest statement of the moneys
it has received since the close of the
state and national campaigns OF 1917
the sources from which it was de-
rived and the persons to whom II
was paid. Then it should make pub
lie full statement of how this money
was expended and to whom it went
That would either disprove the rum
ors now being circulated or reveal
the truth about the collection AMI
disbursement of money for the con-
tinued political activity of the pro-
gressive organization. The party
cannot expect full confidence OF the
public until this is done.

A Winning Road Policy

State Highway Commissioner G.
w. Gates meets the road commission
ers and selectmen of Caledonia coun-
ty today for his annual conference
and instruction. 1t is not a new
thing as these meetings have been
held for several years but every man
is confident he will hear from Mr..
Gates something new and instruc-
tive regarding road construction, be-
cause he is devoting so much work
and study to the subject.
1t must be very gratifying to Mr..
Gates to meet the people of the state
this year with such an endorsement
of his road policy as has recently been
given by other states. In New York
where millions have been spent the
governor admits that the expensive
macadam roads are not standing up
under the automobile traffic. New
Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts
have bonded for enormous sums for
the same kind of roads only to find
they lack permanency and their
money has largely been wasted.
On the other hand Mr. Gates de-
cided years ago that good gravel
roads were the best and the most
profitable for Vermont and has
adhered to the policy until a large
majority of the road builders of the
country have endorsed it. Its wis
dom is becoming more and more
evident to the people of Vermont
and there is promise of better and
more road construction in Vermont
this year than ever before. This is
a great victory for Mr.. Gates and
striking demonstration of his ex-
cellent judgment. His accomplish
ments in road building, his liberal
service for the cause and his sane
and conservative judgement are the
cause for so much talk about Mr.
Gates for governor in the coming
campaign. We do not know whether
he will be the candidate or not but
are confident if the people desire him
his successful experience in formulat-
ing and carrying out a state road
policy would go far toward making
him a desirable governor.

land with Boston as the reserve city.
This district has an area of 66,465
square miles, population of 6 ,557, S41
and 446 national banks with
$9,931,74O capital stock. This
means approximately $50 national
bank stock per square. mile of terri
tory and $500 national bank stock
per thousand population.
District number seven includes
Idaho, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona
and the Pacific Coast states, with San
Francisco as the reserve city. It has
area of 693,65S square miles,
$3.50. 1903 population and 514 nation
al banks with capital of $S,115, 524.
This gives approximately $12 of nat
ional bank stock per square mile and
$1,000 per thousand population. So
the much advertised Pacific Coast
makes hardly as good showing as
sleepy New England.
Now for a little comparison of the
great financial districts. District
number two with New York as the
reserve city has $412 national bank
stock per square mile and $4,000 per
thousand population. District num-
Der three with Philadelphia as the
reserve city has 1927 national bank
stock per square mile and $1,000 per
thousand population. District num-
Der seven with Chicago as a reserve
city has $73 national bank stock per
square mile and $4,000 per thousand
population. These figures show that
New York is still the financial center
of the country but aside from that
New England makes a very credit
able showing when compared with the
districts in a financial way.

Pres. Wilson's Crime

President Wilson recently said he
borrowed what brains he could in
dealing with the various questions
before him. We think that any one
who has read the able appeal of
George Harvey and the extensive Cd
itorial opinion in this and other
countries quoted in the April num-
Der of The North American Review
will agree that the president has a
good supply of brains to draw from
in his dealing with the Mexican ques-
ton. The unanimity of opinion ex-
pressed by so many American and
foreign editors should have great
weight with the president. Editor
Harvey's own appeal is one of the
broadcast, fairest and strongest that
has appeared in American print Not
even a president can afford to ignore
it.
1t must be evident even to the
president that his encouragement of
rebellion in Mexico is one of the most
heinous crimes against civilization
committed in recent times. By
Strengthening the arm of Villa, Car
rama and their fellow outlaws the
president is responsible in consider
able degree for the murder of Ben
ton, the english citizen. and other
outrages on foreigners that have
shocked the civilized world.
Pres. Wilson's crime is discredit-
ing America i'll the eyes of the whole
world If he persists in his course
foreign nations will justly force Unit
ed State to intervene in Mexico and
American citizens will have to pay
the terrible penalty of human life,
nj Hillary expenses and in a few years
the tremendous burden OF an enorm-
GUS pension roll. How can the presi-
dent presist in his present policy
when sucn terrible results are i'll
evitable? He never can justify him
self until he has tried what expert
ence has proved a safer and more eff
fective course.

PHONE APPRAISAL REDUCED
Board of Appeals Lowered Tax Com
missiOner's Figures $50, 300


missiOner's Figures $50, 300
The board of appeals in the tele-
phone tax valuation cases, composed
of Lieutenant-Governor Howe, Sec
rotary of State Bailey and State Audi
tor Graham, made public its report
last Wednesday evening. The valua-
lions fixed by the board are slightly
lower than those of Tax Commission
er Plumley's appraisal, but the
changes principally affect the smaller
companies save for a reduction of
the appraisal of the New England
company, in which an agreement was
not reached until late that evening.
The changes in the appraisal of the
smaller companies result in a net re-
duction of $4,000, but of this sum
almost one-half was by agreement
of the attorneys for the state after
a hearing at Montpelier. The ap-
praisal of the New England COM
pany is fixed at $1,850,000, while
the value was placed by the tax
commissioner at $2,O25, 1000. The
four New England subsidiaries, the
Franklin county, and the Champlain
valley, the Passumpsic and the Yer
mont companies, are not greatly
changed from the figures given by
the tax commissioner. except the
Franklin county company, which is
reduced from $4,000 to $4,000.
After looking up authorities, the
board of appeals held that the ap-
praisal for purposes of taxation was
not on the same basis as an appraisal
for rate making and therefore did not
take into consideration the value
placed on the property of the New
England and its subsidiaries by the
public service commission following
the three months hearing which re-
Gently closed, and as a result of which
the public service commission order
ed a reduction of rates on multi
party and farmers lines

government that it would be impos-
sible to frame regulations which
would prevent the exemption from
resulting, in fact, in a preference to
United States shipping, and con-
sequently in an infraction OF the
treaty" They also quote the opin-
ion of Edward S. Cox-Sinclair, an
English authority OF international
law, THAT the United States can sup
port it's action on the precise words
of the material articles of the treaty;
that it's case is strengthened by re-
ference to the preamble and context;
and that it's case is difficult to chal-
lenge on grounds of general justice.
With English opinion in its favor
and the fact that United States owns
the land, spent the money for the
canal, cannot be asked to pay tolls
on its own warships and that the
tolls would prevent so great reduc-
tion in transcontinental freights for
strictly coastwise shipping are furth-
er urged by the defenders of the
present exemption law.
That the opposition to repeal holds
the position most favorable to Ameri-
ca and the one that will receive the
strongest popular endorsement there
is no doubt. On the other hand if
the exemption of coastwise vessels is
a violation of the treaty as the presi-
dent and his friends claim, put whicn
England has not as yet claimed, tnen
there is but one honorable course
and that is to repeal the law. 1t Will
De very unfortunate if it is decided
that the United States gave away its
rights to the extent claimed by the
advocates of repeal but if it has it
has no right to exempt coastwise
shipping or even it's own warships
The only remedy then would be the
of the treaty and the
negotiation of a new one giving
United States its proper rights in the
canal. With the present inexperi-
enced diplomats of the Wilson ad-
there would be little
hope of success in such a venture.
