MAKING AMENDS TO VERMONT.

The Boston Transcript is the first, we
believe, of the metropolitan newspapers
TO give Vermont some measure of her
due in the matter of enlistment for war
service, and the Boston contemporary
comes out man-fashion and states that
great injustice was done to the Green
Mountain state by those who charged
that the people of the state were slack
ers. Says The Transcript: apologies
are due to the state of Vermont, and no
doubt the whole country will be glad to
make them. Although the state has been
low in its rate of enlistment in the regu.
lar army under the late call, il is not for
the reason that Vermonters are averse
20 military service, but because they are
represented so largely in this service
already"
We are glad to note the more generous
attitude of The Transcript, but at the
same time we should like to call to the
contemporaries attention an official
statement from Washington. showing
that the Vermont credit for enlistment
to the regular army was POS and 81. the
latter figure having been the basis for
the unjust attack on Nermont's patriot
ism prior to July /. Allowing that the
oficial credit from Washington is cor
rect. a little reckoning will show that
Nermont's quota to the regular army was
practically ons-hslf flied az the very
time the state was being merciIcssly
sspsrsed by newspapers in those very
states, Which. - q matter Of fact. were

! reduce the 10 cents pound tax on col.
ored oleomargerine to one cent pound
and increase the tax on uncolored oleo-
| margarine from one-fourth of cent to
one cent pound
On April "a was introduced in the
House "A Bill to Change the Name of
Oleomargerine to Butterine and TO
Change the Rate of Tax on Butterine; to
Protect the Consumers, Dealers and Man.
ufacturers of All Kinds of Butterine
Against Fraud; and to Afford the Bureau
of Internal Revenue More Efficient Means
for the Detection of Fraud and the Col
lection of the Revenue" This bill con-
tains fourteen sections and repeats the
acts of 1886, 1890 and 1902. II taxes all
oleomargerine, whether colored or not,
one cent a pound. 1t requires that all
butterine be put up in |, 2, 3, 4, 5, or To-
pound bricks, prints or rolls, with the
word "Butterine" indented on the sur
face thereof, and that the container also
shall be stamped with the word Butter
inc" 1t permits all stuff previously
known as oleomargerine to be mixed with
extracts and the like, with cream but
ter, or with milk. In brief, this butter
inc could be made of almost an old thing
and then colored to look like butter. 1t
provides for a $500 manufacturers tax,
a $50 wholesalers tax, and SO retailers
tax. Apparently, the object of this bill
is not TO reduce the price of the imitation
butter, but TO make it possible to get
more money from the consumer for an
inferior product The third bill author
ICES agricultural colleges and experiment
stations "to investigate and to teach the
science and art of manufacturing and us
ing oleomargerine, and TO exempt such
colleges and stations from the imposi-
tion of special taxes and the payment of
taxes"
Every potential means Of legitimate
food conservation should be encouraged
and supported If the beef and oleo-
interests can prove that the
American people or our allies in Eu-
rope would benefit by calling oleomarger-
ne something else, by permitting it to
be colored and doctored to resemble but
Ter and sold at butter prices, and by a
reduction Of nine tenths in the tax on
solored oleo-well and good. II they

made the present regulation advisable,

beaten by Vermont. Not many OF the
states OF the country had passed more
than so per cent OF their regular army
quota on July |, So even II we were to
reckon Vermont's patriotism by regular
army enlistment, outside OF National
Guard service, IL would have to be said
that Vermont had done as well as the
average OF the states; and when you
take the National Guard enlistment into
the reckoning It would have to be admit
ted that the state has done very well in
deed. The mere fact that the national
government has called for only l,O40 men
from Vermont for the first increment OF
the new national army is in itself a com
plete vindieation of the state. We trust,
therefore, that the other newspapers
which have been aspersing Vermont will
20 at least as far as The Transcript has
gone in making amends.

Apologies to Vermont.

Apologies are due to the state of Yer
will be glad to make them. Although
the state has been low in its rate of en-
listment in the regular army under the
late call, it is not for the reason that
ice but because they are represented 50
largely in this service already. In an
official statement showing the proportion
of men TO population now serving in the
military establishment, Vermont appears
as seventh in the list of states. The or
der is as follows: Hawaii, Oregon, Dis
trict of Columbia, Montana, Maine, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Wyoming and
Vermont-nine altogether, and two of
them not states. Vermont's proportion
al representation in the army is greater
than that of Massachusetts, or New
York. And even at this, Vermont's rep
resentation in the navy, which is large,
is not given. And this also, which the
st. Adams Messenger states is true:
Vermont appropriated a million dollars
for war purposes-ten times as much
in proportion as Massachusetts: likewise
many times greater, proportionately,
than New York's effort. Vermont farm

WILL PUT THE ALLIES AHEAD In
AIR

The action of the United States in
passing the national aviation service bill
makes another milestone in the progress
of the United States in preparation for
active participation in war and it adds
another milestone about the neck OF the
German autocrat. The authorization Of
the construction of $4,000 airplanes and
/ the raising of force OF 100000 men to
operate those machines will mean, when
carried out, the absolute superiority OF
the entente allies in the war because the
central powers have neither the material
resources nor the men to match such an
accumulation of air machines and opera
tors. Already the central powers have
been over matched at times by the air
planes of the British and the French, and
the fight between the two opposing forces
has been carried to German territory far
more often than to the territory of the
entente allies, 1t is probable, too, that
the German air fleet is being worn down
much faster than that of either the Brit
ish or the French, while the rate of con-
struction is not as great in Germany as
in Great Britain. So, the added strength
which the United States will be able to
bring to bear in this phase of the war
will prove to be the over mastering ele. |
ment, albeit the full force of the add |
ton will not probably begin to be felt |
before the end of a year. But it is bound |
to come and will do it's part toward fore
ing Germany to sue for peace at the
terms which the entente allies may make.
This result will be brought about despite
the efforts of little coterie of senators
who have done their best to block all
of war preparation as the
measures were brought before Congress.
The very consistency of the opposition
Of these men indicates, more than any
thing else, that they are out of sympathy
with American thought of the present
lay and should have no place in the gov
,rnment. Their constituents, in most of
he cases, will probably see to it that
he mistake is rectifed at the very earli-
,st opportunity.

the people of Barre and vicinity come
