The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1917-06-06

Anybody who has time to read the
big city papers these days should and
probably does notice the joyous way
in which the revenue bin is being
worked over by congress so that the
working people and small business
men of the United States are going
to pay the cost of the great war in
which we have engaged Rich indi-
yiduals and the great business inter
csts are able to send clever men TO
Washington to bring pressure to bear
in their behalf and it counts every
day, but the man who works for liv-
ing and the little local dealer cannot
hire q smart lawyer to go to Washing
ton to look after his case and as a re-
suit he is the one who gets hit. Yes
this is a poor mans war. at least the
poor are going to pay the bills.

The extravaganza and waste with
Which public business is done in this
country was strikingly illustrated by
the registration arrangements at the
court house Tuesday Twenty to thir-
~ men and fifteen to twenty young
women put the day and evening on a
Job that could have been just as wen
or better done by three or four men
and n half dozen girl typewriters.
Most OF the time was spent in visiting
and idleness. OF course it may be
ga'd that so long as none of those
who were taking part were paid for
their services. there was no public
waste, but this is an economic error.
Every student of political and social
economy knows that idleness and un-
productive use Of time must be paid
for by somebody and as general rule,
by the workers. There is no person
al criticism justified CT those who were
doing their duty as II was handed to
them at the courthouse on registration
day They volunteered their services
and deserve credit for being willing
to do what they could without asking
ans thing in return. The point is that,
when any public act is undertaken any
where in this country, in nine cases
out OF every ten, it is done in the most
cXtraya giant and wasteful way that can
be devised. Doubtless nearly half the
money raised by taxation for support
of the United States government
serves no useful purpose to the peo-
pie of the country

One thing that was stated at the

worthy of attention by the young men
Of the state of Vermont. The boys
who volunteer will receive ten dollars
per month from the state in addition
to their pay of $50 per month from
the federal government. Those who
are conscrlpted into the national army

SUBSTITUTES IN STEER FEEDING

In discussing the subject of war
rations for beef steers, Rex Beresford,
in The Breeders Gazette, says that
the substitute for corn is more rough
age and particularly more silage.
"The steers commissary depart
ment," he continues, lis big and
roomy and especially fitted by ma
ture and inclination to the handling
of immense quantities of rough feeds,
such as silage and clover and alfalfa
hay. This being true it follows that
the main part of the ration should be
just that sort of feed. Only enough
Of the higher priced concentrates
should be fed in addition to get the
desired results of reasonably quick
gains and good finish. Where less
corn and more roughage are fed a
greater proportion is digested. Less
is wasted.

SKIMMING RICH CREAM SAVES
FEED.

In skimming hundred pounds of
'35 per cent cream, Is more pounds
of skim milk is kept on the farm
than when the same amount of 20
per cent cream is taken. This saw
ing can be accomplished by turn of
the cream screw, and at the present
feed prices is we'll worth the effort
required. More skim milk on the
farms also means more calves raised
to furnish meat and milk for all.
Milk producers are paid for the but
ter fat in cream; not for the water
and other constituents. This makes
it advisable to skim a rich cream, SO
that as much valuable skim milk
as possible may be saved for feeding
purposes.-U. S. Food Administra-
ton:

food as we can of the most concen-
trated nutritive value in the least
shipping space. Among these foods
is sugar.
Honey is a delightful and econ
omical substitute for sugar that has
all the delicious flower sweetness add
ed to it. 1t is free from adulteration
when delivered to a man and for that
reason, is in many ways, better than
sugar. 1t may be used in canning,
baking, and on raw fruits, in arri-
ton to being used as a spread on
bread.
If you do not have a swarm on the
farm it is advisable in Eost cases, to
get one. See that it goes into win
ter quarters in good condition and
next spring be ready to care for other
swarms. In this way shortage OF
sugar need have no terrors for you.

WAR CONGRESS"
FINISHES ITS WORK
SESSION CLOSES WITH MOST RE-
VARIABLE RECORD IN
HISTORY.

Under spectacular circumstances,
featured by the most unrestrained
debate in house and senate history,
the war session of congress ad
journed at o'clock last Saturday
afternoon.
Closing hours snapped with bitter
invective--first launched by Senator
LaFollette against those who have
accused him of siditious utterances
and, second, by Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, swho asailed LaFollette.
The war congress as it has come
to be called, broke all worlds records
for appropriations and revolutionary
legislation within period of six
months. Never in the history of
worlds parliaments has a representa-
tive body disposed of such tremen-
dous work as that completed by it.

excess Of $1,000, 100000. OF the
$21, 1000, however, $1,000
100000 is for bonds to finance loans
to the allies, which will come back
to this country.
First of it's fight was that on the
draft law. Despite a scattering but
determined opposition, the bill passed
May IS.
Next came the food control battle.
After weeks of debate, led by Senator
Reed. Missouri. the bill passed.
Bitterest of all the sessions fights
was that over the war revenue bill.
A small group, led by Senators john
son and Borah, began what seemed a
hopeless contest to levy more heavily
on big incomes and war profits. OPP
posed to them was the bipartisan
combination of Simmons and Stone,
Democrats, and Penrose, Smoot and
Lodge, Republicans. The wealth

Transfer Notice

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, May 2Sth, 29th and 30th, 1917,
the Commissioners of Cambridge
will be in session from a. m. to IL
noon, and from 1 to p. M, for the
purpose of making transfers and cor
rections in town tax accounts. An
Act of the Legislature of 1914 pro-
vides that If any property is sold and
not transferred, the seller is liable
for the taxes if he has sufficient
property of any kind assessed to him,
to pay the tax bill, and the collector
has to locate the property sold, and
not transferred, only in such cases as
when the seller has not enough prop
erty left to cover the tax bill. To
avoid confusion in the records and
tax bills, it is to be hoped that ey-
eryone who has sold any property
will have same transferred.

SPECIAL RECRUITING
ALL OF NEXT WEEK
Meetings to be Held at Hurlock, Fed
eralsburS, Vienna And Easton-
Company Still Needs Many Re-
cruitS.

!
! Captain j. Howard Hirst, of Com
! pany c, has received orders-EFcm
I headquarters to recruit his company
| to the full war time strength name

! will next week hold meetings in Hur-
/ lock, fredericksburg, Vienna and Eas-
! ton, and may possibly detail some oil
the members of the Company to
visit the lower portion of the county
in search of recruits.
1t is the desire of the Captain ana
I the members of Company c that they
get as many members as possible
from nearby, in order that the mem
bers may already be known to each
other, and also in order that any ar
rangements made by the people OF
the community for the benefit tof these
engaged in active service may go
right to the Boys from home 1t
is the belief in military circles that
after the registration of June 9th -
will be too late to volunteer for ser
vice. the names of all eligible per-
sons will then be on the books for
the draft. From the information OBJ
tainable it seems that Company c is
considerable behind the other mill
tary companies of the State in re-
cruiting strength.
The meetings next week Will be
as follows:
Monday at Hurlock, recruiting Of
ticers will be in Hurlock all day, and
can be found at the Postoffice, where
they will gladly give any information
desired. The meeting will be held
at night at eighto clock, and will be
addressed by several speakers.
Tuesday at fredericksburg, where
the men detailed for recruiting will
spend the day at the Postoffice, with
a meeting at night.
Wednesday, at Vienna, the re-
cruiting squad will spend the day at
the Postoffice. with the meeting at
night.
1t should be easy to secure the
number of men before
June 5th, and the State Military au-
thorities earnestly solicit the coop
GRAFTON of the public.
In order to make the necessary ar
rangements for these meetings, Cap
tain Hirst earnestly requests all per-
sons who will volunteer to help in
any way, by furnishing automobiles
for transportation, by speaking at
the meetings, or by aiding in any
other way, to meet at the Armory to-
night at eight o'clock.
