Representative wilson's Abnegation.

Among the many encouraging signs
which were revealed during the opening
week of the legislature, far from being
the least was the action of Stanley c.
Wilson of Chelsea in Withdrawing from
the speakership contest Mr.. Wilson, as
chairman OF the Republican state com
mittee, made a record during the cam
paign of which he might well be proud,
and in all propriety he asked that his
name be considered for the speakership.
1t developed, however, that were he 10
persist sharp contest would be deyel-
oped, and realizing that this was no time
to precipitate factional fight within
the Republican ranks, Mr. Wilson did
what might reasonably be expected OF
younger member who is more concerned
with the welfare of the party than with
his own political fate. Mr.. Wilson heads
the important ways and means commit
tee and he has open 10 him an opportu-
nifty for service Beyond doubt ne
strengthened himself with his fellow
members in giving Judge Weeks the open
field for the speakership and much may
be expected from him during the SEES
sion.-St. Adams Messenger.

France Must Go Cold This Winter.

In the January American Magazine APP

special correspondent OF that publication.
The article this month is entitled Hats

vivid picture OF the courageous French in
their present misery. OF the threaten
ing coal shortage he says in part:
France must 20 pretty cold this win
ter. The Germans held all summer ami
fall the coal mines Of the northern strip.
The rest OF the mines their workmen ex.
empted as a military necessity, must

burden to the railroads, which are run

Horse Drawn Vehicles Should Help in
Road upkeep.


/ Special attention is called to the com
munication in this issue BY a Rutland
citizen on the unfair proportion Of mon.
~ paid for the improvement and main
tenancc of roads by owners OF automo.
blcs. With most Of the contentious OF
the correspondent, The News is in per-
feet agreement.
Perhaps the license fees charged in
Vermont are not excessive. automobiles
being exempt from local taxation but
certainly vehicles OF other kinds should
b. assessed q proper amount. The tax
otiOn OF a Vermont automobile owner Is
$50 for the first wear for new car that
NAV b. worth S2.500, presuming that
III is fifty horse power car. This is
not excessive taxation.
However. the fact remains. as the
News has repeatedly contended, that
heavy horse-drawn vehicles, narrow
tired. loaded with lumber, granite, mar
hle. slate or grain DO equal II not more
damage 20 the roads than an automobile
Of equal weight These horse drawn
vehicles should h. compelled 20 pay their
proper share toward the upkeep OF our
highway
Il i with a good deal Of pride that
the Vermont state officials may point to
tho more than sl58.0O0 contributed by
owners toward road main
tenancc in 1914 Unquestionably. based
on the amount Of wear and tear on the
roads, horse-drawn vehicles should have
paid substantially an equal amount
There j. a good opportunity for the
present Vermont general assembly 20
equalize this matter o. taxation for road
and Il is hoped that it viii
avail itself Of it.-RutlaDd News.

MONUMENT TRADE OUTLOOK.
Conditions Said to Arouse Spirit of OPP
timism.

Realizing that the "long headed" bus
! mess man is the one who looks ahead
and does that looking intellgently, Gran
tie, Marble & Bronze has attempted to
assist its readers by publishing in this
issue not only a review of the monu-
ment trade for the past year, but sum-
mary of the outlook for 1915, This re-
view has been worked out with great
care and every minute spent in reading
it--yes, every WORD Of twill be time
Well spent.
If you will read the review through
from start to finish you will be struck
with the fact that while we have all
made loud noise about poor business
In 1914, in the main tho past year was
as good, If indeed not better. than the
previous year. Of course. 1914 started
or with most flattering prospects. Bus.
mess was taking on q much more favor
able aspect than for several years past,
the money market was above normal
and the crops were enormous. Had the
European war not come down on us last
august disturbing general business con.
dtions rs II did tie latter part Of the
year would have been as active as the

consideration however, 1914 shows some
gains over 1918.
Conditions are now adjusting them
selves rapidly to the present situation
and il is very satisfying to note in this
review Of 1914 and summary OF the out
look for 1915, published Oh another page
Of this issue, that the monument trade
is optimistic over business conditions for
the coming year.
When trade is dull we sometimes fall
into the habit Of looking upon it as in.
eyitable. Such an attitude helps to
make things worse, because we consider
it is useless to try to get business; we
then fold our hands, cut down expenses
and wait for better times" to come to |
us. This sentiment was expressed by a |
the other day. He said !
that every man in the business should |
determine to work harder in 1915; should |
put forth every effort to make the com
ing IL months the largest in the history |
of the monument business. Present con
ditions indicate that it can be done if we
try. 1t is at least worth the EFFORT
