FOR GUARDSMEN RELIEF.
Gov. Gates Outlined Plan Agreed On at
Conference.

Burlington, Aug. 5.-The appointment
of committee of IL, one member from
each city or town furnishing a company
of men for the Vermont National Guard
for the purpose of supervising the relief
work for the families of the Vermont
guardsmen now on the border, was an
nounced last evening by Governor
Charles w, Gates of franklin This
decision, which precludes at least for
the present any possibility of an extra
session of the state legislature, was ar
rived at by the governor after con-
ference yesterday at Montpelier with sew
eral of the state officials, including the
lieutenant governor, the secretary OF
state, the state auditor, state treasurer,
the attorney general, Judge j. E. Weeks
of Middlesex, speaker of the House of
Representatives, and Stanley G. Wilson
of Chelsea, chairman of the ways and
means committee of the House of Rep
resentatives. The membership of the
committee has been practically decided
upon by the governor, but will not be
made public until all of the appointees
have accepted. The committee will meet
early next week at Montpelier and for
mulate more defenite plans for then
work.
Several of the officials who attended
the conference displayed strong sen.i
ment for the calling of an extra ses-
guardsmen's families and the governor
himself stated that if it had not been
for the vacillating course of the national
government an extra session would have
been called. Owing, however, to the fed
of the National Guard and the
fact that bill carrying two million dol
lars for the relief of the guardsmen's
families Is now before Congress and prac-
tically certain of passage, the appoint
ment of the committee was deemed the
more satisfactory method of caring for
this work. Colonel Ira L. Reeves, COM
mander of the Vermont troops, had for
warded to the conference list of the |
yuardsmen whose families were in dis
.ress because of their presence at the bor-
Ter. There were about 100 such cases |
before the conference and it was esti-
mated that the cost of the relief work |
would not exceed 81 900.
Col Reeves was notified by telegraph
# the action of the governors who felt
hat the troops should know at once that
he state appreciates their service and
5 willing to do her share towards help
ng her patriotic sons. Hitherto cases
There guardsmen's families have needed
id have been cared for by local organiza-
ions in the town or city where the fam
" might live, but this method has been
ound extremely unsatisfactory. Each
member of the committee will investi-
ate any case touching a guardsmen's
lmily, where the husband has enlisted I
! the company from that town, and /
ill distribute the aid. The committee I
ill be made up of one member from I

look for a very stubborn and some
what spectacular battle over this
proposition. The administration meas

are very obnoxious to Democrats and
which are absolutely foreign to the
party policy of the past. Whether
some Of our senators, who are inde-
pendent and do their own thinking,
will take this bitter dose, is one Of the
things that the public will watch with
interest. 1 look to see the Republicans
try to make a great deal Of political
capital out of our present party di
lemma and l think they have a splen-
did opportunity to dc So"
1t is strikingly significant that. un-
til the President suddenly changed his
mind a few months ago, the Democratic
party had always beer bitterly opposed
to the tariff commission idea. The
President lost no. time after assuming
office in ordering the Republican tariff
commission craft out to sea where it
was sunk as useless junk. That act
was logical because in fighting the
principle he was consistent in the
position that a tariff commission i'm
plies a purpose to adjust tariff sched-
ules according to economic needs and
to make customs rates harmonize With
conditions of trade and production
both in our own market and in the
orld market.
Our friend Pattangall Of Mains
Democratic outfit resents our free
trade reference to his party and seems
to have seen the protection light much
as did Joe Chamberlain in the later
years of his life To be sure if tariffs
are to be levied for revenue only

board? That simple matter of figur-
ing should be left to the head of the
Treasury and to Congress to adjust

made its fight on the for revenue

articles as possible free, as sugar
