/ Yes. he made enemies. Perhaps nc
man in public life ever had a choicer
or more distinguished collection, yet
as the fulminations Of those enemies
grow more dim, can any man truth
| fully point to a single act Of Mr.,
Fletcher's administration which in the
slightest degree threatened the inter
ests Of the taxpayer?
On the contrary, is it not true that
the plain people, outside of few
politicians, are beginning to realize
that his services to the state were
very considerable? II pressed, can
not Mr.. Fletcher specify, in very eff
fective fashion, just why those poll
ticians hate him?
The Herald does not happen TO
know whether Allen NJ. Fletcher is

ALLEN NJ FLETCHERs "OFFENCEs"
AGAINST VT. SPECIAL INTERESTS

and Corporations

mary Of his offences; but il has Rener
ously omitted those Of greatest enorm.
ity in its eyes, as the mouthpiece Of
the Central Vermont railway
Let US see what some Of these Of
fences were, committed BY the Cover
nor In question:
Governor Fletcher's chief offence
was pushing through the Legislature
acts forcing the railroads 10 bear a
fairer share Of the burden Of taxation.
This was done by stopping the use a.
basis Of taxation Of the gross in
come. which could be shifted to roads
outside the state controlling those in
the state. The taxpayers Of Vermont
now receive from this source $4,000
more revenue in every biennial period
than before. The taxes Of the express
and telephone companies were also in
creased by 5000, and the American
Express company was compelled 10
pay its taxes, although il induced the
last Legislature TO make slight re-
duction in the tax.
Opposed 10 Lobbyists
Another offence Of Governor fetch
er, in the eyes Of those whom the Mes
senger represents, was his insistence
that railroad lobbyists should cease
trying with greater or less success
to dominate legislation, especially
through the Senate.
Another offence was Governor
Fletchers service in promoting legis-
lation regarding demurrage in freight,
for the benefit Of the shipping public.
Another offence Of Governor fetch
err was his determination that the of
flee of Encouragement should cease
TO be used as a buffer between the
railroads and other public service cor
porations and the public; and that the
abuse of the detective fund should
stop. His course has been indicated
by the reduction of detective expenses
from $4,000 biennially to $4,000; and
that the state has not suffered from
this reduction is shown in the large
per cent of convictions in criminal
cases secured by Attorney-General
Barber.
Juslifies Telephone Investigations
Another offence of Governor fetch
err was his response TO complaints as
to telephone conditions in Vermont.
The prompt elimination of the charge
for calls not answered by the party
sought has more than compensated pa
irons for the expense Of the investiga-
ton. Governor Fletcher's action also
stopped the promiscuous watering
of telephone stock for the promotion
of monopoly, and resulted in an order
for the reduction of certain excessive
rates. That this matter, has not been
pushed to full realization for patrons
is not the fault of Governor Fletcher,
nor is he responsible for the fact that
the order for such reduction has all
this time been held up indefinitely in
the courts,

Another offence Of Governor fetch,
er was his interference with existing
conditions by demanding better school
facilities for the youth Of Vermont,
Another offence Of Governor fetch.
er was his determination that acts OF
the Legislature 10 provide Vermont
with a real public service commission
such as we now have should not be
Iinvalidated or neutralized by reaction
AIRY judges, and that the people Of
Vermont should have more speedy JUS
tice as well as more economical court
expenditures.
Another offence Of Governor Fetch
err was his pushing through the Legis-
lature of the armory bill TO provide
different localities having companies
of the National Guard with suitable
quarters.
Another offence OF Governor fetch
err was his insistence that the court
itself was the best interpreter Of Yer
monts constitution.
Governor Fletcher made mistakes,
as does every other man in public po-
sition who does things; but nobody
can say that he was not fearless in the
performance Of what he believed to be
his duty to the high office he filled and
to the sacred trust the held from the
people of Vermont.-Ludlow Tribune.
TRIBUNE CHARGES" ANALYZED
The alleged offences of former Gov.
Allen NJ. Fletcher, recounted at some
length by the Ludlow Tribune and
elsewhere on this page, CON
stitute quite serious document. They
are in effect a challenge to his enc
mics to make his administration an is
sue and thus force him into public
defence of them.
Apparently Mr.. Fletcher has no OBJ
lection to this course. In fact, he
seems to welcome the opportunity, yet,
if he has so seriously offended against
the st. Adams Messenger, for ex-
ample, he has also offended against the
reople of Vermont and ought to be
lro,,nbt IN account
Agrees With Tribune Charges
Examining the offences in some de-
tail The Herald is forced to agree with
the Tribune in respect to his railroad
policies. Railroad taxation as it exists
to-day is inequitable. 1t taxes the
railroad more heavily than other prop
,rty and in more than one case the
state tax is larger than the net earn
ngs.
In the same manner, The Herald be-
ieves his telephone investigation was
ll-advised and has served no useful
public end, in two respects, therefore,
his paper is forced to agree with the
Tribune in its ironical charges against
dr. Fletcher.
Was "Real" Governor
In other respects, "the very head
md front of" Mr.. Fletcher's Offend
ng" is not perhaps so obvious. 1t is
ertain that he was the kind of gov
rnor Vermont editors and Vermont
rators had been preaching about for
ears. He wore no mans collar. He
,ok orders from no boss. He conducted
is office for the benefit of Vermont,
o far as he saw his duty, and had the
udacity to tell Vermont Legislature

BRITISH AMBASSADOR
EXPLAINS BLACKLIST

Washington July 29.-Tho British
blacklist is not intended to so beyond
fine principals named In the list and
there can be no indirect injury to
American firms, as explained to the
state department today by Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, the British ambassador.
It was represented that there IS no
idea of blackHsting a neutral firm,
merely because it continued to do
business with a firm that it blacklist
ed. but If a neutral firm persistcutly
and Systematically acted as cover for
the hlackisted firm and so caused di-
rect trading between British firms
and bIackisted firms, the cases would
be different
Regarding payments TO blacklisted
firms the British action was declared
not to affect payment by neutrals as
the British government habitually
grants licenses to the British firms
to pay current debts to blaclllistod
firms. unless it is clear beyond doubt
THAT such payments would be passed
ON, to, or create a credit for enemy
firms i'm enemy territory.
The department was Informed that
many licenses already have been
granted to British firms to receive
from and pay to Kuauht NachOd n
Kuhne and Zimmerman & FOrshay
and hat there is no objection to the
Goodyear Tire company filling out
standing contracts, but that it would
be well to obtain a statement of the
amount untitled.
