The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1915-12-04


Bank Commissioner Frank C,.Wil'l
liams is quoted by a Little Rock,
Ark, paper as sayipg that Vermont
had savings deposits June 30 oil S25,-1
e39.293 and that Vermont savings
banks have lS40O06,00O Invested in
other states. The Little Rock paper
has apparently misqnoted Mr.. vii.
liams or has gotten the figures twist
ed Savings deposits in Vermont are
now upwards OF slO0.o0O,00O and the
portion invested outside the state is
upwards OF SG0.000000 and probably
upwards of S7o.000,O0o Likewise the
permanent school funds, the college
eHdowments, charch funds, school
funds. trust funds and other
funds OF more or less public
nature and III the aggregate amount.
ing to probably twelve or fifteen
millions at the lowest estimate are
invested outside the state. In addi-
ton to these astounding items indi-
vidual Vermonters have been invest
ing in western farm mortgages, west
ern bank stock and other out of the
state securities ut the rate of six
or eight millions a year for over thirty
years. Some of this of course is re-
investment and there is no way of
estimating the actual total but con
sewative estimate would be 500,
100000. Vermont is probably the
thriftiest state in the union for YER
mont has no great wealth gathering
or producing centers and the riches,
of the state have been largely gather
ed by the careful savings OF people
Of small income. 1t is a wonderful
showing OF the ability of Vermonters
to develop individual and family pros
perity from rather meager sources,
but it has shocking side and one
that is disturbing to patriotic Yer
monters This unfortunate factor is
ish tax laws have driven this money
so largely out of Vermont for invest
ment. We do not want the state to
be provincial and selfish and for that
reason are glad to see Vermonters
take an interest in outside affairs and
invest some of their money beyond
the state borders but we need a far
larger proportion of this money to in
crease the progress and prosperity
OF our own state The tax policy of
Vermont for thirty years has been
short-sighted and calculated to Grip
pie and stunt Vermont endeavor. 1t
seems to do no good to argue the
question but we cannot understand
why Vermont year after year fails to
legislate to build UP Vermont inter
ests instead of continuing to drive
all this money to other states for in
vestment. The first step should be
to reduce the state tax on savings de
posts invested in Vermont to three
mills and thereby make it an object
for the banks to seek and to develop
loans in Vermont Secondly, the tax
on securities is so high that it misses
entirely the object aimed at. Money |
is SO elusive that it will not bear a |
burden so onerous. Thirdly, the tax |
on railroad property in Vermont is |
too great under the tax law of 1912. |
Railroad systems reasonably prosper
GUS are essential to the prosperity OF |
the state and Vermont might better |
return to the system Of taxing gross

A call has been made by one news
paper that Vermont ferns be
protected from extinction. The farm
er will not make such a demand as
the fern has greatly reduced the
value of his pasture land. The ex-
tinction OF the fern from Vermont
pastures would be worth millions to
the state as a whole If the people of
Bennington county have found the
marketing of ferns profitable business
they should use sufficient land for the
propagation OF ferns to supply the
market but in general way ferns are
a nuisance whose abatement would
be enthusiastically welcomed.-St
Johnsbury Caledonia.
The facts are that the ferns that
are picked TOR shipment are kinds
that do not damage the pastures and
the variety that is such a pest in the
pastures is not marketable at any
price, Twas ever thus. II we could
only market. the wild oats at war
time prices how 81 business would
boom. -

If the newspaper reports are to be
believed the German Reichtag is to
next week permit a discussion of
what Germany is willing to consider
relative to peace. This is either re-
markable demonstration of German
confidence in German success or else
it is confession of defeat. In case
of doubt such discussion would not

Death of Mrs. Bernard Leblanc

Death of Mrs. Bernard Leblanc
Early last Wednesday morning our
community was called upon to hear
of the death of our old friend and
neighbor. Mrs. Bernard Leblanc, who
after an illness of several months
died at the age of 70 years.
Mrs. Leblanc was born in Garlic
ton. Can, and left there 81 years
ago. These years, with the ~excep-
ton OF the few years she and her
family lived in Chippewa Falls, were
spent here in hurry. Here she
reared a large family. Several child
rem died in their youth. TWO sons,
Joseph and Fred have been away for
a number of years, their location
being unknown. The remaining three
children are Mrs. John Tromblay and
Mrs. Arthur Kittelson, of hurry, and
Mrs. Charles Brainerd, of Pleasant
Prairie. Besides these three child
rem, are left her husband, one broth
er, Edward Essam, Of hurry, one
brother and three sisters in Canada.
Last April Mr. Leblanc sold his
old home here and with Mrs. lie
Blanc left for Canada intending to
spend the remainder of their years
there, but here they were not con-
tented and longed to return to Muir
ry, the place they had learned to call
home. After 5 months stay in Can
ada they returned and this spring
Mr. Leblanc purchased a new farm
where he has been laboring hard to
fit up comfortable home for him
self and wife but God saw fit to in
terfere with his plans and called his
helpmate to her heavenly home.
Mrs. Leblanc has always been a
good, kind friend and neighbor. De-
voted to her home and hard work
ing woman she always strlVed to do
what she could to help her husband
to make a good home for her child
rem and where they could enjoy
comfort in their declining years
She also was a devoted Christian
and faithful member of the Cath
Ollie church and one of the most
faithful members of st. Anne's Al
tar society since it was organized
many years ago.
During her long illness she re
ceived the kind attention of her hus
| band who did what he could to save
her life but on account of her age
nothing more could be done for her
He, with his daughter, Alice, who
has made her home with her par
ents since her husbands death il
/ January, have the sympathy of theil
neighbors at this time of their grea
sorrow Our dear friend will be
missed by all, but now as in al
times of great sorrow we will say
Gods Holy VIII Be Done.
The funeral of Mrs. Leblanc was
held here in st. Anne's church Fri
day morning, Rev. Fir. Tagnoli Off
ciating at the service.
