They Care for Their Own

We all take off our hats to the He
brews when it comes 20 loyalty to
their own people. There was an inn
pressive meeting in New York a few
evenings ago to raise funds for the
American Jewish relief committee.
Four rich men gave 100000 each on
condition that the amount be raised to
81 100000. The response exceeded the
mark set, as more than $650,000 was
raised during the two hours of plead
ing and exhortation, marked by spon-
taneous rejoicing and by tears. The
most wonderful part of the story is
the way the poor gave. They emptied
their pockets, took jewelry from their
persons and even deprived themselves
of their carfare to return to their
homes The giving that entails self
sacrifice is the real test. The man
who gives something that he never
feels is not much of giver after all.

FROM THE STATE PRESS


Did you know that all the great com.
mittees Of the House and Senate arc
dominated by Southern men? II is a
fac., as the records Of congress viii
prove. The chairman Of the Senate
committee on agriculture is from
Oklahoma and in the House from
South Carolina; the chairman Of the
Senate Appropriation committee is
from VIZ mia; the chairman Of the
Commerce committee is from Arkan-
sas; that of banking from Virginia
that Of the judiciary from Texas; that
Of Postoiiices from Alabama; Of Naval
Affairs from South Carolina; Of Mill.
tary Affairs from Virginia. These
great committees control legislation.
Ii is fact that less than 10 states,
having less than one-fourth Of the
population, and less than ne-eighth
Of the votes, control legislation and
make laws TO suit their constituents,
not to benefit you and /. What are
you going to do about it?-Morris-
willie Messenger.

DISCUSSION OF DEMO
CRATIC DIRECT TAXES

Senator AISLE j. Gronna, Of North
Dakota.--lt is my conviction that the
necessity for the imposition Of .axes
like these--some of which bear heavi-
ly and unequally on certain members
of each community--arises from the
mistaken fiscal policy Of the present
administration. In former years we
have found il possible to raise the
revenue necessary for the support Of
the Government in time Of peace with
ont imposing taxes on many Of the
common transactions Of life in the
manner this act does. This admins
.ration came into power pledged to a
program Of economy, which, It was
stated, would reduce the appropria-
tions far below what they had been
under Republican administrations.
Yet the expenditures Of this admins
tration have been greater .han under
any administration since the Civil
Wa II is often urged that the war
in Europe is responsible for the fail
ure Of the Underwood Act TO produce
the needed revenues. During he FIRST
nine months Of calendar year 1913 our
total imports were valued at 1921
100000; for the same period in 1914,
during two Of which months war ex-
listed, they totaled 81 900; and
during the same nine months in 1915
their Total value was 81 ,302. 000, 900.
or only s25. 100000 less than for the
same period in 1913. But while in

lature has voted down the proposition
for three successive sessions.
Vermont pays out more than a mil
lion dollars year to maintain prisons
and jails and their accessories. Most
Of this yearly expense could be saved
in the course Of time by taking care Of
the unfortunate children of the ex-
Iceedingly poor, the vicious, the insane
and the unfortunate. 1t is poor bust
ness judgmen: to keep handing down
a weakened legacy when it would be
cheaper, easier and more creditabe to
hand down a strengthened heritage.
During the present war we have
heard much about killing children, and
women and non-combatants. Vermont
is yearly killing children and non
combatants in the battle Of life by
neglec: as fatal if not as cruel as the
most hideous acts Of war.

before and will say il again-not be-
cause we like 70 harp on a sad topic,

ferred.-Eyening Banner.

Gets Out all She Puts in.

The Enosburg Standard, forever
critical, but generally in a helpful
way, finds fault with Vermont's per
manent" gravel roads, which it says
are comfortable for travel only during
the settled summer going, but in wet
times become mudsloughs and under
the action of frost, rough and rutted.
There is truth in the criticism, of
course. A dirt road of any kind can
not avoid these conditions. The model
permanent oadbed-always smooth
and hard, affording traction enough
for heavy travel YET not yielding to its
erosive effects, and durable enough to
warrant the investment-has not yet
been built anywhere. A more pertin
ent question is, Does Vermont get her
worth in building gravel
roads? If the Standard thinks not,
let us hear what it would do toward
mprovement.-Randolph Herald.

KILLING CHILDREN

The state home for mentally defici-
ent children has been opened at Bran
don. Vermont now has two asylums
for the insane, a state prison and
house Of correction for those who fail
of self control, an industrial school for
children who start on the road to
wrong, home for the deaf, The dumb
and the blind, home for veterans Of
war and now home for detectives.
What Vermont has not is home
for normal, healthy orphan children;
children of parents who die friendless
and penniless; children of the crimi-
nal, the insane, the divorced; children
born out Of wedlock; children who, for
one cause or another, are left little
and folorn, without home, dependent
on the mercy Of relatives who have
enough burdens Of their own on the

Congressman Park, Democrat, Of
Georgia, recently addressed the House
of Representatives in condemnation of
the changes the Democratic admins
tration has made in the rural service.
He said: There is great dissatisfac-
tion because of this delayed delivery
of the mails" and again "0f all the
changes made under any adminis.ra-
tion in any department Of the Govern
ment, this change in the rural route
service has created more discomfort,
dissatisfaction, and antagonism.
When criticisms such as this were
voiced by Republicans from Northern
States, the answer Of the Democratic
press was that it was mere partisan
carping This expression from a part
Of the country that has been specially
favored by the Post Office Depart
ment and by a member of the party in
power, ought to be accepted as con-
elusive evidence Of the bad manage
ment under which our postal service
has fallen.

They have taxed them beyond every
hope and reason, and to-day we pay
every kind Of tax under the sun.

of an economical expenditure of the

Congressman Mondell, of Wyoming.
In the good old days-in the good
old Republicans days-Uncle Sam,
proud, dignifed, prosperous, sat in the
place of customs and from the goods
and wares offered there in competition
with the labor and industry of our
country collected goodly sums without
burden to our people, which me.
abundantly the public needs. But to
day Uncle Sam, worried, abashed,
apologize, stands hat in hand, beg
ging pennies at the telephone booths,
levying tribute on little children and
sweet girl graduates in the tax on
gum. Even the chastened JOY with
which we pay our debts by giving
new note is chilled and dampened by
the shadow of the clutching fingers of
the Treasury taking its toll of our
hardearned promises to pay. Wheth-
er we buy or sell or borrow, the Dem
ocratic administration stands at our
a beggar Of picayunes,
while sleek, well-fed publicans in the
form of Democratic tax gatherers take

Treasury.
