GovERNoR,s PROCLAMATION
State of Vermont, Charles WinslOw
Gates, Governor, A Proclamation

State of Vermont, Charles WinslOw
Gates, Governor, A Proclamation
Almighty God has blessed us with
another year of substantial prosperity.
Our educational. agricultural, indus
trial and commercial interests through
out the State have shown steady and
wholesome progress. The busy stores
and markets, the whirling machinery
of shops and factories. the song Of the
harvest machines and the well attend
ed institutions of learning are symbols
of our intellectual advancement and
unparalleled economic success.
Above all we. as a nation, have been
kept free from entanglements in a
terrible war now being waged in other
lands. Yet not unmindful of the
ravages of the great struggle our peo-
pie have materially assisted in allevi-
ating the suffering which necessarily
follows such a conflict. In this we
have been blessed, our hearts have
been kept warm with sympathy and
persistent hopefulness of a speedy end
of it all.
This struggle has brought forcibly
to mind our duty and responsibility
to mankind, and with it the opportun-
ity to become the greatest peace-bear-
ing and truly democratic nation the
world has ever known. For this OPP
portunity with all our other and many
blessings we should be thankful.
Therefore, 1, Charles Winslow
Gates, Governor of the State of YER
mont, do set apart Thursday, the
twenty-fifth day of November, A. D.
1915 as a Day of Public Thanksgiving
and urge that on that day we gather
in our churches and assemble around
our firesides to render thanks unto
Almighty God for the many bountiful
gifts that have so generously been be-
slowed upon us, and fervently pray
for strength to meet the great re-
sponsibilities that must come to us as
lovers of peace and liberty.
Let us pray together that the great
war may end, that homes may be re-
stored and loved ones returned to
their families, and that all men may
soon learn to so love their fellowmen,
that they shall, without fear Of con-
f1ict and with assurances of universal
peace, cast aside the sword and for
ever end war.
Let US remember the needy and suf-
fering in our respective communities
forgetting not to extend kindness to
the old and guidance to the young
and withaI lend all our power and in
f1uence to strengthen christian charac-
ter and develop strong manhood and
womanhood.

MERCHANTS AFTER TRADE
Discussing The Beginning of Coopera
two AdvertiSinO Before Christmas.


tive Advertising Before Christmas.
The retail trade committee OF the
Commercial Club met last Wednesday,
and decided that it would be highly
desirable that the merchants OF ST.
Johnsbury make a united effort to IN
crease their trade with the outlying
regions, and that this effort might well
be commenced by cooperative adVer-
Using to induce the people of the sur
rounding towns to do their Christmas
shopping in ST. Johnsbury. with TINS
purpose in mind it was decided to dis
tribute in the surrounding towns dur
ing the early part of December,
newspaper supplement containing the
Christmas advertisements OF the mer-
chants Each merchant will be urged
to give a certain inducement or prize
on certain days so that this will tend
to act as a drawing power for the re-
tailers.
In addition to the advertising of
each firm, there will be some general
advertising intended to advertise the
trading facilities of the town. The
purpose of the advertising supplement
is to aid the merchants to draw in
more trade from the outlying sections
and by the offering of special induce
ments during the week to infuenc
some people to do their shopping ear
| ly. In this way the strenuousness OF
late Christmas shopping may be miti-
gated to some extent. The advertis-
ing that the city Will get will naturally
be of great advantage although inn
possible to estimate.
This is the initial effort OF its kind
by the retail trade committee and the

ultimate effect of their eXeFtions is
to increase the wealth of landowners.
Single takers insist the increase
of population, material progress, new
inventions that increase the power of
men to produce wealth, increase the
demand for land and financially bene-
fit landlords only, Material prosper
ity does not reach labor and capital,
but increases the tTibcte that labor
and capital must pay before they are
allowed to produce the wealth.
This fundamental injustice may be
easily removed by taxing land values.
only for public revenues.
These values are the result of civil
ization and material progress and are
produced by all the people. All the
people should receive what they pro-
duce, to be distributed and expended
in things that benefit all the people.
Every tax except the tax upon land
values should be abolished.
This would free labor and capital
from their bonds. Such abundant
opportunities for the production of
wealth would be open to men that
wages would rise to the full earnings
of labor. Unearned wealth would be
abolished, monopOlies would be de-
prived of their power to injure, gov
eminent would I be simphfed and
crime diminished.
The social condition of all peoples
would begin to improve the moment
it became apparent to men that this
injustice is about to be removed from
any considerable territory upon
earth.-Geo. v. Wells, 1850 South
Park aV.

ana Will remOYe'Cne primary injustice
that prevents all other efforts from
making better conditions. .
The hideOus, bIghting, all-power-
full injustice in social and govern
mental institutions is the institution
of land ownership that denies the,
equal rights of the people to be upon
the earth. This injustice not only de-
MES the right of human existence up
on the earth, but gives to the land
owner the power of appropriating
wealth that he does not earn and
the power of forbidding the use of
the earth for the purpose of prodUc-
ing wealth that is necessary to the
sUstenance and welfare of nOn-land-
owners. These powers are exerted
according to law and are approved
by the majority of people because of
ignorance.
These powers are the cause of hard
times and extreme poverty which pc
Tiodically curse humanity all over the
world. Their exercise is the primary
cause of all wars and also of most of
the crimes that fill our jails and peni-
JenClarleS.
The beneficiaries of the special !
privilege of land ownership control all |
the avenues of intelligence. News |
papers and periodicals of all kinds |
bow to the power and few dare to en-
tighten the people as to the fUnda- |
mental injustice that compels the |
great mass of people everywhere on
earth to make a bargain with the
earthOwner before they can have a
chance to earn an honest living.
This is the basic injustice that is so
concealed and hidden that we pass it |
by and attack minor evils, wasting
our time and strength in doing things
for the common welfare, good in
themselves, but frUitless because they +
but increase the power of the land
owners.
