LETTER FROM MIR. CRANE
Urges Vermont Voters To Put Saloons
Out of Business Next March.

Urges Vermont Voters To Put Saloon.
Out of Business Next March.
Do you like having your nose held
on the grindstone
Two hundred and twenty-seven out
of the 246 towns in Vermont have
come to the conclusion that they are
much better off without the saloons
than with them Less than 10 have
not come to that conclusion yet.
i Is that greater part of the state.
(who do not want anything of the sa-
loons) willing that that smaller part
shall continue to expect to receive
their aid in caring for the victims of
their saloons (Which produce depend
ents on the state at the rate of four
or five times as many as the territory
without the saloons) without making
any objections? The fact is they are
enjoying their personal liberty too
much at the expense of the rest of the
state.
Why do not those who want the sa-
Floons volunteer to take care of their
products? Because the rest are so
kind as to relieve them of that anx-
iety.
What would the saloon towns say if
the dry towns told them to foot their
own bills? They would think there
was something the matter right off.
Who pays for the saloons? The
ones who patronize them. Who pays
for making liquor? The ones who
drink it. Who pays the license? The
ones who drink the liquor. Where is
the drinkers money when the tax
collector calls? The saloon keeper
and brewer have got it. How much
do we get from the liquor dealers to
help pay the drinkers taxes? To help
support his family and maintain the
institutions filled with the goods which
the saloons have produced? We re-
ceive about one dollar for every four
teen spent for liquor. Who then pays
the taxes assessed on the drinker?
The man who doesn't drink. Who
takes care of the victims of the sa-
looms? The ones who do not drink. {
Who takes care of the ones depending
on the victims of the saloons? The |
ones who do not drink. Tell me if |
you can find anything square or eco
nomical in that way of doing things? |
Next March each one of us viii |
have the chance to say whether he is
contented with these conditions or
will try to see if there is something
better.
The majority rules. doen't it? If
this principle is maintained the Sa-
looms Will get orders, next March, to
close. But we must remember that
1t is the majority of those who vote
that rules, and not those who stay at
home. And remember also that the
liquor forces will not be taking a nap
On that day either. Neither do we
want to be fooled by allowing for any
margin. A wet fellow votes just as
many times as he dares to.
Now if we want the saloons in YER
mont to close out their pestiferous
business. we will have to put in an
appearance at the coming March
meeting. L had rather spend town
meeting day fighting the saloons than
lighting the wolves. (Which are the
sole product of the sa1oons) from
somebody's door.
The saloons are the DEVILS incubat-
1rs and Vermont is running 60 of
hem.

An article in the Manchester Jour

produce enough grain to feed it's poul-

true. 1t does not seem possible and
the facts should be made public in this

A call has been made by one news
paper that Vermont ferns be protected
from extinction. The farmer will not
make such a demand as the fern has
greatly reduced the value of his pas
ture land. The extinction of the fern
from Vermont pastures would be worth
millions to the state as a whole. If
the people of Bennington county have
able business they should use suffi-
cient land for the propagation of ferns
to supply the market but in a general
way ferns are a nuisance whose abate-

The estimated receipts from Gus
toms for the current fiscal year are
$195,OOO,0OO while the income from
customs the last year under the Payne
tariff law were $4,000. 900. To make
up this deficiency it is probable the in
come tax will be extended to all in
comes in excess of $4,000, raising still
higher the rate on large incomes, re-
tanning the duty on sugar and impos-
ing an excise tax on munitions of war.
1t may be that the country can get
some income during the war demand
for ammunition but the taxing of ex-
ports and thus increasing the cost of
American manufacture is a dangerous
handicap to place on American in
dustry.

the country will be safe. This would
seem the wisest and most efficient plan
for strengthening our national defence.
We hope there are not enough local
graft forts to defeat the program for
defence on land but if there are it will
not excuse us from doing our best
with our navy.
