Favors T. J. Denning for Assessor.


Editor, Barre Daily Times:
Dear Sir: As citizen and voter of
the city of Barre, | wish to present the
following reasons why T. j. Denning
should be elected TO serve the city as
assessor.
Because he has been a citizen of and
taxpayer on real estate in the city of
Barre for more than % years.
Because he has always been active and
interested in city affairs.
Because of his varied experience as ad.
minstrator and trustee, he knows real
estate values.
Because he is acquainted with every
detail OF the granite business, which is
a very important factor in the duties of
assessor in this city.
Because he has always been called upon
and has given freely of his time and la
Dor in furthering every worthy cause
presented to the citizens of Barre.
Because he has always been a good
union man and is to-day working at the
banker as a granite cutter.
Because it is the duty of working
men, when they find one of their number
who has all the necessary qualifications,
with honesty, integrity and fair minded
ness included, to elect him in preference
to someone we do not know.
Because he is not bound by any mar
row ideas and if elected to the Office of
assessor will do his duty without fear
or favor of any man
Because a vote for 7. j. Denning for
assessor is vote for the city's interests.
For the benefit of those who have tried !
to make an issue of Mr.. Denning's ma
tivity-Mr. Denning was born and edu- |
Gated in the state of Vermont.

Asks Vote for Suitor.

To the Editor, Barre Daily Times: 81
am aware that our high tax rate is OPP
pressive to all classes of our citizens,
especially to working men, and that it
greatly cripples the growth and prosper
ity of our city Therefore, if elected
mayor. | shall do all in my power to
bring about lower tax rate by getting
efficiency in all departments, thus to pro-
mote the highest good of the city and all
concerned Fred w. Sutton.
Why you should vote for Suitor:
Itsis because Suitor announces himself
in favor of a lower tax rate, while Glys-
son announces himself in favor of a
higher tax rate. But the tax rate is
already so high-S2.40 on each dollar of
the grand list-that moneyed men won't
build new tenements. That is the reason
why tenements are already so scarce.
The scarcity makes the price per month
correspondingly higher. The working
man pays at least three dollars per
month more to his landlord than he
would if taxes were lower and tenements
plenty This is $50 dollars per year too
much for each workingman to pay his
landlord; and too much by $4,000 per
wear for each thousand workingmen to
pay their landlords.
The truth is. the present high tax rate.
like the high price of food, is charged up
to the workingman as the consumer, and
actually pay the taxes of
their landlords.
Yet Glysson advocates 25c higher tax
rate: that is, $500 on each dollar of the
grandlist, thus making the burden still
heavier on workingmen.
Therefore, workinpmen, ii you vote for
Glysson. YOU vote to pay the taxes,
however high, Of your landlords. But if
YOU vote for Suitor. Won vote TO get rid
Of that burden. You viii Of course BE-
wise 10 vote for Sutton.

Assurances from various sources in
Japan that that country never received
the German proposal of intrigue against
the United States are given with some
degree of deiniteness, but more reliance
still can be placed on the assertion from
Toxic that the japanese government
would not consider for minute the
breaking off of relations with the other
entente allies now engaged against Ger
many or the severance of the close ties
which bind the Toxic government to
Great Britain. We have not a great deal
of faith in the japanese protestation of
triendliness toward the United States
but consider that protestation to be
matter of expediency rather than any
thing else If Japan desires to keep out
of the proposed new triple alliance of
Germany, Japan and Mexico it will be
because Great Britain says so. Mexico,
the other prospective candidate for the
distinction of becoming a German ally,
would most probably follow that course
from inclination if the way were opened
for it TO do so Nothing that Mexican
officials could say would shake the belief
OF the American people that officials of
that government already have been con
:liying with agents of the Berlin govern
mert. The Zimmerman instructions"
seem to bear out the belief and will not

The Cost of Medicine and the Cost OF
Life.

In the current Farm and Fireside' a
writer is quoted as saying;
The cost Of medicine is very small,
but it may save your life. We can go
through life on bobsled or astraddle an
old blind horse. or sit and NOPE and
snuff ashes in the chimney corner, but
what is that wprthg 1t does not cost
much, but the returns are worse than
nothing. We are not placed in this
world TO see how cheaply we can get
through life but TO see how much good
we can put into life for the general good,
to enjoy life and to show that il il worth
living. Nothing is of worth merely of
itself. but the value consists in what it
can, WILL and does do.

CAR LINED WITH
BOOZE, SYPHONED
OUT TO BUYERS

Prohibition is the mother of inven-
tion and some rare geniuses arise
within the ranks of bOotleggers.
One of the cleverest schemes for
conveying liquor into dry territory
was uncovered here Saturday when
the police discovered an auto built
with concealed tanks within the walls
OF the body of the car. The discovery
led to the arrest of L. NJ. Davidson of
Portland, the owner of the car, on a
charge of bootlegging.
Garage mechanics were responsible
for the discovery. Davidson had
taken the car to the shops Of the Pen
dleton Cadillac Auto Co. for repairs
ard, while working on it. the men
smelled the liquor. The removal of
q little strip of leather upholsterinS
showed small hole through which
the whiskey was syphoned. Even
the back walls of the car were con-
tainers and it is estimated the con-
cealed tanks would hold 20 gallons.
Only a little was left in the car.

The eighth annual Roundup was
a great success. None of the seven
previous Round-Ups was any greater

The directors are highly pleased
with the way the show went off and
with the crowd. The crowd more
than paid for the show. expensive
though it was and the association will
probably have little balance with
which TO start the next show.
The crowd began leaving soon after
the end OF the show but there was no
perceptible diminishing Of the throng
on the streets during the evening de-
spite the fact that 5000 or more were
at Happy Canyon. The streets were
crowded and the rain did not dam pen
their spirits. Automobiles kept up a
procession for hours and many drag.

HAPPY CANYON HAS
MOST SUCCESSFUL
YEAR IN HISTORY

Happy Canyon came to the end OF
its fourth short life early Sunday
morning when the lights were turned
out at the dance hall on the last of
the Roundup rerelers.
The fourth Happy Canyon was the
most successful yet held. from every
standpoint. The attendance on the
last three nights was a capacity one
and Saturday night hundreds were
turned away even though local peo-
pie quite generally needed the re-
quest for them to stay at home and
give the guests a chance.
Many Pay 10 Get In Dancchall.
SO eager were many to get in that
they even paid to enter the dance
hall where nothing going on in the
arena could be seen. Two or three
'roughnecks' overcame this by cut
ting big holes in tn scenery in order
to get view. They were quickly
elected
The after festivities saw such
crowd jammed in the dance hall that
there was little room for dancing.
However. the crowd was good nat.
ured and jostled Its way merrily
around.
NoIHllE DNl nlnuslaSllC praise Was
heard on every hand for the Happy
Canyon entertainment this year. The
scenic background the transforma-
tion. the little drama of frontier life
that was woven into the setting and
the frontier town fun which cama
after the transformation all contrib
uted to making something really out
OF the ordinary.
Credit Due Local Men.
While there is much credit do the
many who helped in the making OF
the show in various capacities. the
great share of the credit for achiev-
ing the Happy Canyon of 1917 belongs
to Roy Raley who gave almost all of
his time for two months directing the
building of the scenery and the work
ing out Of the program. Ed Wright.
local sign painter. had the contract
for building the scenery and he Sc
cured the able assistance of his for
mer partner, Harry KEN. and anoth-
er scenic artist OF Portland.
The receipts both at the gate and
for the sale of buck bills" were
greater than last year and will en-
able the association to wipe out the
$500 of indebtedness hanging over 1t
from the building of the pavilion last
year.
