To read the political advertising
put out by the Allen M. Fletcher
senatorial club one would think that
Mr.. Fletcher was the man who gave
Vermont all the good things in civic
life. These claims of Mr.. Fletcher
are, however, taken for what they
are worth by thinking Vermonters,
and are aptly expressed by scripture
"as sounding brass and a tinkling
eymbal."

In the death of Col. Kittredge
Haskins Vermont loses a distinguish
ed son. He has served the state
long and faithfully. He was one of
that Grand Army of veterans who
responded to LincoIn's call, and after
the war was active in public service,
and represented Vermont in Con-
gress. He was loyal Vermonter and
his able service is matter of history
which honors the state and nation.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1916-08-18

1t is not past the memory of man
since many Vermonters had reason
to seriously ponder the assertion,
publicly made by his own townsmen,
that Allen M. Fletcher did not fairly
and honestly contribute to state
finances just proportion of his
wealth. This little matter has had
much to do in shaping the action of
Vermonters. 1t takes more than
great liberality and professed loyalty
to blot out these little things that
were deliberately made in a spirit
of the public be D..

Senator Pages answer to Mr..
Fletcher's call for an explanation
why he voted against the rural
credits bill shows feature of the
bill exempting rural bank notes or
bonds from taxation that would not
allow farmers of Vermont to secure
loans any cheaper than today. If
this exemption removes Vermont
capital from taxation it would be
necessary to increase the taxation of
other real property. Now the query
ID up to Mr.. Fletcher. Did he know
OF this exemption clause, or does he
wish to shift the burden of taxation?
The great Chautauqua movement
instituted by Bishop Vincent, has wild
sned its influence and now reaches out
into every enterprising community
in this country. 1t is decidedly an
American institution and a move
ment that brings special features
that are important factors in the
educational, recreational and inspir-
ational life of the community. The
people Of Island Pond have shown
their enterprise and local pride in
securing this National movement
and giving our people the opportun-
ity to enjoy its entertainments and
take part in this great work that is
forwarding the educational and
social life of every community COM
ing under its influence.
