FRENCH REPULSE
GERMAN ATTACK
TEUToNS' ATTEMPT TO TURN
FRENCH POSITION ON vERDUN
FRONT CHECKED.
Canadian Troops and Germans Bat.
Ting FlerceIy on Ypres Salient.
Violent Artillery DueIs Along
Russian Front.

London.-The region OF Vaux and
Damloup, northeast of Verdun, has
been the scene of further futile at
tempts OF the Germans to pierce the
French lines. All the attacks we're
set at naught by the French fire, ex-
cept night attack between Damloup
and Fort Vaux, where the Germans OBJ
tained a foothold in French trenches.
From these, however, they were i'm
mediately driven out by a counter
attack.
The Canadian troops and the Ger
mans have been battling fiercely on
the Ypres salient The German guns
opened up several days ago, deluging
the Canadian positions and the sur
rounding territory with shells. Then
the German infantry advanced along
an extended front of almost two miles,
capturing trenches. In series OF
counterattacks, in which bombs and
bayonet played an important part, the
Canadians regained most of the lost
ground and have reorganized their po-
sitions
tillery duels are going on In the Bes-
sarabian and Volhynian sectors. Sew
eral Russian infantry attacks against
the Austrians we're repulsed.
The Italians in the region of Arsi-
ero are holding the Austrians from
further advances in the desperate
struggle that is going on in this re.
gion. The Austrians, with large eff.
fectives, attempted to break through
the Italian line in the direction OF
Onaro, but were driven back. The
bombardments are still heavy on the
other sectors of the Austro-Italian
front.
According to unofficial advices from
Saloniki, General Sarrail, the French
commander, has declared martial law
in the entire zone occupied by the en-
tente allies and the allied troops have
taken over the telegraph office, the
port and customs house at Saloniki.

the so months the Payne tariff law
was on the statute books the average
monthly imports amounted in value
to s137,715,13C. For the SO months
under the Underwood law it was
$161,156,933. The monthly average
of duties collected on imports under
the Payne law was $26.599.S04, I'M
der the Underwood law $1s.01s,41s.
The percentage of goods coming in
free under the Payne law was 52.14,
under the Underwood law 64.3O.
These figures show how the demo-
Gratis removed the taxes from import
ed gods and why it was necessary for
them to levy taxes on Americans
Now we will show just how much of
an increase in taxes on Americans
there has been. Under the Payne
law the republicans levied only an
excise tax on corporations which
yielded a total of $74,594,SS2. Under
the Underwood law the democrats
have raised from a corporation in
come tax $128,6O5,91S, from the in
dividual income tax $137. 24S,292 and
under emergency revenue (the war
taxes in time of peace) 1886, 347, 42S,
a total of $4O2,1e6.6S 1t will be
seen that in 33 months the democrats
have levied $427,6O1,756 more taxes
on Americans than the Republicans
did for period of so months. They
also allowed foreigners to send more
goods to America for consumption
and at a less cost than the republic
cans did. In these figures we find
the extent to which the democrats
were willing to mulct the American
people and allow foreigners to sell in
competition with American capital
and labor without contributing a cent
to the support of our government.
1t is up to the American people to
say which policy they want for the
next four years.

Senatorial Thoughts.

The Essex County Herald gets con-
iderable trouth in a small space when
it says: ALLEN NJ. Fletcher approx
ed favored and signed popular
laws because the people demanded
them, not because they originated or
were carried out as a Fletcher idea"
That is about all there is to Mr..
Fletcher's service for Vermont. He
alleges to have been a resident of
Vermont (although he maintained a
residence in New York and conducted
the main part of his business there)
for about sixteen years. With the ex-
ception of four years he has held pub
lie office ever since he came into the
state and he is a candidate for still
more. He is spending an immense
amount of money and may be able to
buy the republican nomination for
the United States senatorship. We
doubt it, however, and if he should
buy it we predict that he would fail
to be elected to that honorable posi-
ton by popular vote. Vermont has
been sold out sometimes in the past
but it is not ION the market" just
now.

Source Of Government Revenues.

The democratic party in Congress
having decided upon a revenue meas
ure, a comparison of their methods
of raising revenue for the support
of the government with the republi-
can methods is in order and furnishes
interesting reading The democrats
found themselves obliged to raise
$2O5,OOO,OOO more than the present
laws would produce and this in the
way they are doing it. They have
doubled the normal tax on incomes,
levied an inheritance tax graduated
from one to ten per cent on inherit
ances ranging from $4,000 to $5,-
600, 900, placed a ten per cent net
profit tax on manufacturers Of NUM-
tons and a FIVE per cent net profit
tax on manufacturers of materials
entering into munitions, a license tax
on corporations capitalized at more
than $4,000, increased taxes on
liquors and continue various stamp
taxes. In addition to this they pro-
pose to issue bonds for about $685.
coo, 900 to help pay the costs of send
ing the troops into Mexico.
The democrats claim that the cost
of preparedness is responsible for
the increased amount of money they
must raise this year. The records
show and the democrats admit that
they are calling for $445, 5S6, 1855
more this year than for the fiscal year
of 1916. OF this amount 90,00O,0OO
is for Preparedness" leaving $685.
56S,43S more for the running Of the
government during the year 1917
than in 1916. This sum represents
democratic extravaganza pure and
simple. If the democrats pass the
government shipping bill, the flood
control bill and the purchase of the
Danish Islands there will be $125,-
100000 more to be added to the sum
given above and will make an in
crease over 1916 of $1SO,56S,4Ss be-
sides the Preparedness" increase OF
$500, 100000.

Canada's Better Way.

Canada has a compulsory investi-
cation" act under which any body Of
railroad laborers' must give the gov
eminent 80 days notice of their in
tention to strike and railroads give
immediate notice if they intend to OPP
pose the demands of the men.
The dominion minister of labor
then would call upon the men and the
railroads to appoint each one com
missioner, these two to selecI a third
commissioner to investigate every
phase of the dispute and lay the facts
officially before the public.
If the two commissioners couldn't
agree on the third, the minister of Ia
Then, pending this commissions re-
port, the men would remain at work
and the railroad would continue OPP
Grating.
Every question bearing on the sit
uation would be investigated by the
commission of three, and the facts, to-
gether with the commissions conclu-
sions as to the justice of the mems
stand, would be laid before the pub
lie; also the commissions recon-
mendations for settling the con-
troversy.
You do not hear of railroad strikes
in Canada these days, nor of unfair
treatment of the men. So it would
seem that the law works well. How
much better it would be if the United
States had such a law. Holdups of
the president and congress just before
election would be impossible then.
