How Liabilities Grow.
(Barre Times. J

On the same tax rate as last year, the
village of Brattleboro hopes to reduce its
liabilities $4,000, which is very commend
able, because BrattlebOro has shown a ten
dency to increase liabilities in much the
same ratio as the average city or village
during the past 10 or 10 years We no
tice by the bulletin just issued by the bu-
reau of the census relative to county and
municipal Indebtedness that Brattleboro's
liabilities increased from $1,000 in 1902 to
800 in 1913. There undoubtedly were
some large expenditures on public works to
account for such marked percentage of
increase, and Bratteboro probably has
something to show for the money spent,
Just as most other communities have in
the shape of better sewer and water sys-
TENS, municipal buildings, fre-fghting
equipment, etc. BY the same bulletin, we
find, however, that only one of the five
cities and towns of Vermont having a pop
ulation between 5000 and 10000 (esti-
mated) in 1913 increased their net liabili-
ties. That one was Burlington, whose net
obligations leaped from $3.50, 436 in 1902
to S920,064 in 1913 In the same period,
Rutland reduced it's net liabilities from
S4S5,477 to 100000; Barre from 1895 ,O7O
to S336,667; Bennington (town) from

IS IT NOT TRUE?

Senator Borah, speaking from his own
experience on the suffrage question, has
hit one nail squarely on the head. Read
the last sentence of the following paragraph
carefully: then ask yourself if it is not so
and if it is so, what is the reason?
you may argue until doomsday that
women are no better than men, and have
no higher ideals and will vote about the
same way, yet political gathering will in
evitably act upon the theory that it is not
safe to rely upon the woman to condone a
wrong or ratify a questionable transaction
And permit here to say in this connection
that while as good women as live are sin
cerely opposed to suffrage, and while men
disinterested and patriotic are opposed tc
suffrage and most sincerely so, yet it is
nevertheless, true that every evil and vi
cious influence in politics is opposed tc
woman suffrage"

FORD PURCHASERS CONFIDENT.
Expect Big Sales Will Bring Them Re
bate of $40 to $50.

Ford automobile purchasers since
Aug. ! last, who have been looking
forward to that $40 to $50 promised
each of them by Henry Ford if the
sales of cars by the Ford Motor com
pany during a year from that date
reached the 100000 mark. are almost
certain to have their hopes realized.
Mr.. Ford authorized the statement
this week that, barring the unfore-
seen, his profit-sharing scheme would
be carried out.
Virtually all doubts as to the full
filment of the hope of the Ford com
pany as well as those of its customers
have been cast aside by the enormous
sales during the last month. The com
lpany's statesmen figure that the ,00C
mark will be reached on July /, q
month ahead of the stipulated time.
The distribution of $40 or $50 tc
each purchaser of one of the 800 0C
cars, according to their price, means
that about $15,0oo,OO0 viii be divided
this summer by the company among its
customers. If the sales are greater
than that figure the sum to be return
will be proportionately greater.
The plan of profit sharing with It's
customers followed the Ford com
pany s profit-sharing project of more
than year ago when it decided tC
