publican control and a republican
tariff the receipts from customs were
$31S,S91,396 and from corporations
S35.O06,3 500 and the government had
a surplus of $41.34O,524. Now we are
to have the democratic tariff, in
creased corporation taxes, the income
tax, the war taxes. a tax on the ex-
port of war munitions, a bond issue
and a deficit All of these taxes ex-
cept the democratic tariff are assessed
upon American wealth and industry.
Under the republican regime all but
$35, O06, 800 was assessed upon for
eigners importing goods into this
country. The question before the vot-
er today is whether he prefers hav-
ing the revenue assessed upon the
foreigners or upon himself. His cost
of living has been increased by the
democratic method instead Of reduc-
ed and he instead of the foreigner is
obliged to furnish the revenues of his
government. The republicans devel-
oped and protected American indus
tries while the democrats tax Ameri-
can industries and develop and pro-
tect those of the foreigner. We are
confident the verdict of Americans in
November will be for the American
rather than the foreigners.

The Revenue Bill.

The revenue bill recently passed
by the house and to be passed soon
by the senate is of course one of the
important measures before the pres
ent congress. Therefore any inform
alton about it will be of general in
terest. First the bill expects to pro-
vide from three hundred and eighty
to four hundred million dollars rev.
enue each year, probably the largest
burden of taxation ever put upon the
their history. Enormous as it is this
revenue provides for only the running
expenses of the government and the
increase in the navy and army. All
of the expenses of sending the soldiers
TO the Mexican border and into Mex
leo is to be provided for by a bond is
sue.
These changes are made necessary
by the failure of the Underwood tariff
bill to provide revenues for the sup
port of the government in times Of
peace. When the Underwood bill was
passed it was said it would provide
all the revenue the government need
ed. This was October 3, 1913. In
September, 1914 the government ap-
pealed to congress TO pass the fam
Gus WAR Revenue Act" although this
country was at peace with all the
world. and give it 500. 100000 more
revenue. This was made necessary
because in the year 1915 the customs
revenues were s1O9, 10G.7 2S below
those of 1913. In fact for the three
years 1914. 1915 and 1916 the Gus
toms revenues showed a total loss of
S242,701.27s. Notwithstanding during
those years there had been an in
crease Of importations above the year
1913 Of $Ss0.O2s.275.

LIEUT.. HARTWELI LID.
Letters Received Here Suggest Pos

Word has been received from Ea-
gle Pass, Texas, that Lieutenant P. r.
Hartwell of Company D was sick and
that possibly an operation would be
performed within few days, either
at Eagle Pass or San Antonio, unless
there was change for the better in
his condition.
Lieutenant HartweI was operated
upon at Brightlook hospital for ap-
pendicitis about five weeks prior to
his leaving with the company for the
border, and as ne had not fully re-
covered his strength was not in the
best of condition to undertake the
trip but he felt it his duty to go if
possible.
In the first letter received by his
family a few days ago mention was
made of his being sick and at that
time it was thought he would be TAX

Magazines for the Soldiers.

Chaplain Thomas has written home
that there is a great dearth Of good
literature in the camp and suggested
that popular magazines and good
books would be very acceptable as the
boys have a good deal Of leisure time
and very little to read. The Com
mercial club has therefore decided to
send early next week a. box Of maya
zines to Company d, and all friends
having old numbers Of the popular
magazines are invited to leave them
through the week at The Peck Com
pany store on Eastern avenue. Here
is an excellent chance to help in a
worthy cause without money and
without price and there ought to be
generous response to this call.
Bring in your magazines during the
week so that the box can be sent
away as soon as possible.

Our Greater Vermont.

Everyone who heard the inspiring
addresses at the annual meeting and
banquet of the Greater Vermont as
ISOLATION at Montpelier must have
been convinced that a greater Yer
mont is already in existence Nearly
all of the speakers were either Yer
mont men or men born in Vermont
who have achieved greatness in 9th
er fields. Ex-Gov. E. c. Smith is a
VermOnter identified with one of the
great railroads of the state. Gov. c.
W. Gates has always been identified
with Vermont. John Barrett, Wen
dali P. Stafford and George Harvey
are native Vermonters who have won
national and international reputa-
tions and bring great credit to their
native state. Theodore n. Vail was
not born in Vermont but he has done
great work in Vermont and made the
state the largest gift in its history for
educational purposes and stands as
one of the leaders in big business in
this country.
Each of these men had part in the
program of the meeting and each
spoke of the ideals. principles and
purposes of Vermonters in a way
that presented the greater possibili-
ties and development of the state
The addresses combined were a very
forceful presentation of the greatness
of Vermont, a greatness unsurpassed
by any state in the union. The cen
trail truth of all this presentation was
the greatness of the principles that
had actuated Vermonters in the past
and that still exists in the little great
state. Every man who heard their
message must have gained a larger
vision of what his state really is, a
stronger faith in it's future and a
stronger determination to live his
part in a state that will stand for

Germany has found that a pint of
benzol and alcohol mixed in equal
parts and costing 1888 cents will drive
an automobile 4.66 fuel miles, while
a pint of gasoline costing S.55 cents
will drive only $50 fuel miles. 1t
may be Americans can take advantage
of this discovery and get a cheaper
fuel for their automobiles. Gasoline,
benzine or ether has to be used in
starting a car and then the alcohol
benzol fuel can be turned on.

which we received today. You never
saw a bunch of children more pleased
with their Christmas presents, than
the men were with their presents
Good nature was evident, each one
sharing what he had with some one
who did not get that particular thing
They were more than pleased with
the tobacco, as the tobacco they get
here does not suit the men from the
East.
The health of the company is very
good. All were vaccinated for small
pox yesterday, so we expect some sore
arms soon. The men are living well
and every one is well satisfied with
the food. Here is the menu for Mon
day, July 10: Breakfast-Meat hash,
bread and butter, coffee. Dinner
Braised beef. iced tea, rice pudding,
bread and butter. Supper-Potato
salad, bread and butter and apple
sauce, coffee.
Tuesday, July II: Breakfast
Scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, bread
and butter, coffee. Dinner-Beef-
steak. brown gravy, boiled potatoes,
bread and butter, iced tea. Supper
Beef pot pie, stewed apples, bread and

Corned beef hash, boiled rice, bread

beef, brown gravy, boiled potatoes,
tapioca pudding, iced tea. Supper
Potato salad, rice pudding, bread and

The food is clean and plenty of it,
so no one should feel that their boy
is being starved. We should not have
been able to feed quite as well if we
had not bought some things at the
stores. Thanks again to our generous
friends at home.

independence of the Press.

1t is surprising to note how many
Vermont papers are not coming out
for Page. In fact a census of the
press of the state would show more
of the recognized leading papers with
a leading distinctly away from him.
This should disabuse the minds of
the people who think the press is con-
trolled by its advertising patronage,
because Page has been one of the
most liberal advertisers in Vermont
for a number of years. The fact of
the case is, the press of Vermont is
one of the most Independent inf1u-
ences in the state. accuated by honest

The States Attorneyship.

The announcement that James B.
Campbell of this town will be can
didate for the states attorneyship of
Caledonia county has been made in
a previous issue. Two years ago it
was generally expected he would be
a candidate at this time but when he
accepted the appointment of private
secretary to Congressman Porter H.
Dale it was supposed he had aban-
doned his local political ambitions.
1t seems, however, he used that OPP
portunity to further increase his
knowledge of law and now returns
to take up the practice of law as his
life's work.
Mr.. Campbelrs candidacy has sew
eral strong features He is a young
man of ability, has had much prac-
teal experience as assistant county
clerk, has been successful in what
ever law business has come to him,
lives in st. Johnsbury where the
states attorney should live; but
stronger than all is the fact he step
ped aside two years ago to allow Mr..
Norton to take the nomination. Mr..
Norton still wants the Office for an
other two years, but the sense of fair
ness will influence people to give
their vote to Mr.. Campbell at this
time.

The voice of Porter H. Dale has
been heard on the floor of congress.
Last Monday he spoke for Vermont in
the present Mexican muddle claiming
that Vermont was quite on top in it's
pro rata contribution of soldiers for
service on the Mexican border and
rehearsing the large percentage the
state had furnished in former wars.
1t was a good advertisement for his
native state.

For senator GOV. c. w. Gaze.


AS announced in the news columns
Tuesday morning, Gov. Charles w.
Gates has thrown his hat into the
ring in the senatorial contest in YER
mont. This makes the announced
candidates Sen. c. S. Page, ex-Gov.
A. Nj. Fletcher and Gov. c. w. Gates.
The Caledonian believes c. w.
Gates should be elected to that posi-
ton and will advocate to the best of
it's ability his nomination in the pri-
maries to be held in September. Mr..
Gates becomes a candidate at the re-
quest of many Vermonters who wish
to see a younger man than either of
the present senators begin a career
the best years of his life to serving
Vermont in that distinguished body.
Both of Vermonts senators are old
men who have passed the zenith of
their lives. To retain both there
means two Vermont sunsets rather
than one in the senate. The state
should have a man in that body
building up a standing for himself
and his state while Sen. Dillingham; is
filing out his term of service.
Gov. Gates appeal to the voters
is simply this: Il shall appreciate
the support of all those who have
confidence in my integrity of purpose,
and who feel that 1, if nominated and
L.
Vermont in the United States Senate"
There will be no advertising, no So
Letting and no expenditure of money
on the part of Gov Gates. He will
give dilligent attention to his duties
as governor and let the people make
their own choice for this important
office. We are glad to support for
this high office man who stands on
his integrity rather than his pocket
book
Gov. Gates has made good in all
the public positions he has accepted.
He has built for himself more than a
state reputation in the development
of Vermont highways. He has served
the state faithfully and ably as gov
ernor, saving the state from some un-
fair deals without making a noise or
charging his opponents with every
thing but decency and virtue. This
record gives us confidence that he
would creditably represent Vermont
in the United States Senate"
Gov. Gates entry to the contest
gives the people of Vermont an OPP
portunity to vote for a man who re-
fuses to use money to influence the
voters, a man who has always lived
in and worked for Vermont, a man
who has great ability in handling men
and great efficiency in accomplishing
the tasks to which he sets his hand,
a man whose integrity cannot be
questioned. He really is the repre-
sentative of the newer and better
political element in Vermont, the
people who believe the Office should
seek the man. We believe a majority
of the Republican voters of the state
will give a verdict for integrity, for
politics without the use of money, for
c. w. Gates for United States Senator.

The average increase in retail prices
war is reported to be SO per cent and
the average cost of living for the
working classes has increased 40 per
cent. This means it would cost a
the same living he enjoyed before the
outbreak of the war at $500. That is
quite an increase but we doubt if it
much exceeds the increase in cost of
living in this country since the out
break of the war.
