Vermont Ranks Third.

You would naturally expect to find
more automobiles per capita in states
like Massachusetts, Connecticut and
New York than in any other section
of the country, but the fact is that
Iowa, distinctly an agricultural state,
leads in the percentage of automo-
biles to people, with one to every 16
persons, while California is not far
behind with one to II. Vermont
ranks third in this record among all
the states of the Union with one

A year or so ago Governor Gates
made the statement that the road
problem of Vermont was town af-
fair. Possibly so many years ago
but not 50 today. With the coming
of the automobile the road problem
is greater than simply town limits
it has assumed proportions of state
construction and control. -Burling-

The Burlington Free Press thinks
it would be timely to ask how much
the Vermont commission has thus
far spent ON this state and New
Hampshire boundary dispute. The
taxpayers ought to know, but if this
commission is like some Vermont
commissions their expenses will never
be reported in manner to show the
sum total. For instance, does any
one know how much that commission
of Governor Fletcher that investi-
gated the telephones cost? 1t is a
waste of time to ask for a report
that will give the total figures SO
they can be understood.

Boundary Dispute.

A contemporary says that the
boundary dispute between Vermont
and New Hampshire will cost a large
amount. We would like to have
somebody explain why the Vermont
commission should make this cost a
large amount? Vermont may yet
have to follow the ancient joke and
put a negro on the States safety
valve. Free Press.

The Kind Of Vermonter Fletcher
Is.

Allen M. Fletcher seeks election as
United States senator from Vermont
claiming that he is patriotic Yer
monter. Fletcher was born in 1858;
he was 81 and liable to a poll tax in
1874. He first paid poll taxes in
Vermont in the town of Cavendish
in 1900, just in time to qualify for
the legislature in 1902. When he
became member of the legislature
in 1902 he was required to prepare
his own biographical sketch for the
legislative manual. He did so, and
each succeeding session, including
1910. This is the biographical sketch
which he himself prepared and pub
lished:
"Allen M. Fletcher, of Caven-
dish, Republican, was born in In
dianapolis, In1., September 25,
1858; he is farmer and located
in town in 1881"
He says he located in town il
1881" If he did then he dodgec
even his poll tax from 1881 to 1900
He says Occupation, farmer" HI
is no more farmer than any rich
man who owns farm for the fur
of it. He inherited very large
wealth years ago. He owns a sub
stantial tract of land in Cavendish
on which he pays taxes on a valua
ton of less than six thousand dol
lars. He is spending money to ad
vance his own candidacy to an un
heard-of amount for Vermont. 1t i.
safe to say that his farm" does MOI
produce enough for the gasoline h.
is using in running about the STATE
seeking votes. His occupation is mo-
and never was that of a farmer. HI

Representative Butler was one of
the members of the legislature who
voted to cut down the mileage of
members attending the special ses-
sion to 10 cents mile. He felt that
the calling of this session was for a
patr otto purpose, and as mileage
rate of 10 cents was sufficient to
cover actual cost of transportation,
the full rate should not be asked.
The majority of voters showed their
patriotic purpose by passing this
amendment and saved the state g
tidy sum. This was the right spirit
and we are glad it prevailed.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES

County politics is rather quiet.
No great enthusiasm is manifested
over the coming primary September
18th. For county officers candidates
of only the Republican party have
filed nomination papers, and these
are the same as two years ago with
the exception of senator and high
bailiff. George A. Hubbard of
Guildhall is on the primary ballot as
a candidate for county senator. Mr..
Hubbard is we'll known throughout
the county having filled many posi-
tions of public trust and for many
years served as county clerk. In all
these Offices he has served the county
faithfully and efficiently and will
make an active member of the state
senate. All the other candidates are
men whose service has been an honor
to the county and their nomination
at the primary IS assured. NO one
seems to desire the office for High
Bailiff, and it is seeking the man"
with blank space in which the voter
has the opportunity to write the
name of his choice. The Democratic
ticket is blank with spaces in which
to write the names of. candidates. Il
is q clean ticket and ought to be {
winner. There is also furnished {
column on the primary ballot witt

blank spaces to write in names. alsC

The st. Johnsbury Caledonian calls
the attention of voters to two things
in connection with the new primary
as follows:
First the fact he has signed a
mans petition does not bind him to
vote for that man. He could not
sign a second petition but if there
have been developments since he
signed mans petition that make
him want to vote for another man
he is at liberty to do so.
Second, he can vote in only one
political column. He cannot vote
for one or more of the democratic
candidates end then vote the rest of
the ticket republican or vice versa.
He is not obliged to vote for all the
candidates in either party but all he

The Allen M. Fletcher senatorial
advertising says that Farmers
should vote for Allen M. Fletcher
because he favored equal taxation
and compelled the railroads and cor
porations to pay their fair share"
Perhaps, but should farmers, or any
other voter, vote for Allen M. Flet-
cher because he did not ''equalize"
his own taxes nor compel himself to
pay his fair share" Of taxation?
Should voters Vote for Allen M.
Fletcher because he has a record of
being most persistent and defiant
tax dodger in the state? Allen M.
Fletcher "approved," favored" and
signed" popular laws because the
people demanded them, not because
they originated or were carried out
as Fletcher idea. Let the voters
come down to concrete facts. Where
in has the state of Vermont ever
benefited from the capital and bust
ness energy of Allen M. Fletcher?
Vermont has fell to these multi-mil-
lionaire suckers with out-of-the-
state interests long enough. 1t was
the prime cause for the disruption
in the Republican party in Vermont
four years ago, and if continued will
cause a political revolution in the
state of far greater import. The
reputation of the state is at stake
Vermonters who give daily the best
of their energies and capital to the
upbuilding of the state should have
preference to these gold-leaf pluto
Gratis who come to Vermont with
their buttonhole bouquets and seel
through a clamor of greatness t.
carry off the elective honors of {
people who place freedom anG equa
rights first and foremost in theiI
conduct of civil affairs.
