How to Pnnish Az KaIaer.

No wonder people for vengeance cry,
And for his crimes, say the Kaiser
ought to die;
But ii was allowed to a verdict give.
live
licei
Yes, Let him live ten thousand years
With nothing to drink but Belgian
tear.
With nothing to eat but mouldy bread
And that with gall and NORWOOD
spread;
And I'd give him but one meal each
day.
And have it served on blood stained
tray,
And white eating hear his victims
grown;
And curse him through a grapha-
phone.
Next. I'd have him look ON the
desolate void,
Where those cities stood that he de-
stroyed,
Have him gaze where outraged wo-
men died,
Where innocent children were cruel,
fed;
And if not sufficiently Mortified then.
Ia work that graphaphone again.
Then I'd march him out on a battle
field
Where soldiers bones lay half con
cealed;
/ And in mo Mans Land where brave
( men fell.
I'd give him a taste of Homemade
Hell,
I'd punch him, iab him. give him gas,
Then into his wounds rub powdered
glass.
Then to desert island far away,
I'd have him sent to forever stay;
Where nothing ever grew that was
green.
Where nothing but sand was ever
seen,
Where no ship could go, nor sub.
marine
Where he'd have TO be sent in a flying
machine.
There I'd give him chance to be
moan his fate,
Where he'd have no throne to abdi-
cate;
There in cave, dark night and day
I'd leave him chained till the Judg-
ment day;
Then OF course my furnishing him
would end,
The Devil would then to his case at
tend.

Not TO overwork Clerks.

The government assures the public
that ii is speeding up on distributing
the allotment and allowance checks
to the families of soldiers and sailors,
and intends to get them all mailed by
Christmas. The clerks are turning
them out at the rate OF 10000 a day.
Many families will feel very grateful
for the extra speed that is turned on,
for they have been kept waiting long
overtime for the funds upon which
they partially depend for their sub
sistence.- Bennington Banner.
But still it would not do to demand
hat the $4,000 clerks employed in that
bureau, who have not been overwork-
ed at any time, put in even half a
days real work so that this obligation
of the government could be properly
discharged The speeding up noted
by the Banner is probably a myth.
Wounded soldiers from overseas are
in hospitals in New York city or are
walking the streets without money,
due to the inefliciency OF this deparl
ment. There is no real, valid excuse
for the condition. Montpelier Argus.

When You come to think of il, those
$4,000 Vermont boys in the service
have right to be consulted before
the Legislature votes away their
rights. Why not wait till the boys
come home?-Rutland Herald.
The Herald is laboring valiantly TO
retain the legal sale of liquor as a
beverage in the United States but it is
undertaking hopeless task The
battle has already been fought and
prohibition has won, with several
states to spare, II we read the record
correctly. Moreover, the Heralds
plea TO wait until the boys come home,
while clever, is not convincing. Yer
mont's 5000 boys in the service are
not agreed on the subject any more
than vermont,s $4,000 "boys' at home,
1t Is the part of duty and wisdom to
20 right along with the lob and not be
led astray by siren song. 1t does
seem little tough that temperate
person who never abuses the use of
liquor, is about to be denied the pri-
vilege of taking drink but that is
lust what is going to happen. During
the war the world has gone two hun
bred billion dollars in debt. The
drink bill OF the world, If II could b.
applied, would wipe out that debt in q
few years, It probably won't work
out just that way but that doesn't al
ter the fact that the United States is
going dry and Vermont may just as
we'll realize the fact. A little later the
Rutland Herald and others who take
n similar view of the matter, will be
pleading with the legislature TO leave
It to a referendum after the boys
come home" It will be far better TO
face the music, accept the inevitable,
and learn to be happy in spite Of the
impending alcoholic drouth.

Telephone Company Rank Monopoly

iclcpnOne NoInpdny ndnN monopoly
Z There has been and is mighty
factor silently drawing the wool of
statewide monopoly seeking to gov
ern every avenue of business in Yer
mont. Honest conscientious Yer
monters have been deceived and are
still being drawn into the mesh by
the oily rantings OF deceitful promot-
ers, who have already tricked the leg
islators in the past of their birthright
of freedom and independence for a
mess of pottage. Vermonters-the
plain, common people--tillers Of the
soil whose fathers cleared these ac-
res from the forests and made wild
erness blossom the rightful inheri-
tors of the fairest and best these
green old hills have to offer--must
assert their independence and in
stern Ethan Allen terms tell these
grafters TO "get thee behind me, Sa-
Jan" One of the rankest of these
monopolies exists in the New England
Telephone and Telegraph company,
who through the powers this indie
pendent old state has surrendered in
the laws governing the Public Ser
vice Commission forbids any com
peting lines to be established allow
ing few of the older peoples lines
to remain in force, but restricted in
operation. Just why neighborhood
of farmers cannot have the right to
erect a private line for community
and neighborly service, is past all
justice and equity. This is one Of the
matters the incoming legislature
should remedy. There are others that
should also be remedied if Vermont
err want to retain their old-time in
dependence and that Freedom and

The tax did not operate according 10 the estimates made before it's passage and were so tardily made that at the end of three years much of the tax still remained unpaid.
 Successful Beginning
 However. the government on the whole, made successful beginning with taxation, and while economic de- velopment was backward. the popula- tion was not compact enough and the expense of collecting taxes was great, there was no longer reason 10 fear that the excise duties would be a despOtic invasion of a subjects liberties. The people were beginning to realize the necessity of adequate support of tAe central government and the lesson was learned none to soon.

VAR FINANCIAL MEASURES BASED ONCONST|TUT|0N

WASHINGTON Aug. 1S.-The great financial transa ctions which now oc- cupy the attention of the American public and which have been made nee essary by war, are by no means inno- vatons. They are based absolutely upon the articles of the constitution of the United States. and so perfect is the basis thus provided that one might think the founders of the republic had been endowed with the gift of looking far into the future that every emer- gency might be met without deviation from their original plan. Ut is well known, however, that the constitution was in reality a document of compro- mise and that it was drawn up in it's present form only after bitter disputes on the part of the delegates represent ing various parts of the country. each of whom sought to gain some advan- tase for his constituency
 It was with difficulty that the advo- cates of a more centralized govern ment secured for congress the right to lay and collect taxes duties, inn posts and eXcises,'' and as a safe guard to state rights. the opposition insisted that clause be inserted in which it was decreed that all bills for raising revenue shall originate in the hOIlSp Of mt

On Thirty Articles

A schedule of import duties was adopted January 4, 17S9 providing for an advalorem rate on about 30 articles. and this was assessed in such way as to give protection to the young manufacturing industries which were beginning to spring up in the new country. particularly in New England.
 As soon as this measure had been decided upon. the house of represent atives began to consider the establish ment of a treasury department and again the question arose as to whether a single individual should be entrusted with inc financial responsibility of the nation or whether that responsibility should be placed in the hands of committee.
 Alexander Hamilton was appointed l to the post however in September 11S9. and although the was only B years old he was probably better fitted than any other man in the United States for the position. While confi- dential secretary to General Washing ton, during the early years of the revo- lution. he had devoted much time to the subjects of finance and trade. In 1871 he communicated to Robert Mor- ris an elaborate plan for bank. and | in 17S2 he was receiver of continetal taxes in New York. To these special interests he added an experience as congressional delegate. lawyer and pampleteer and has been especially in sistent in demanding national regula- tion for the collection of revenue.

Whisky Rebellion

So marked was the opposition on the frontier. where it was found con- venient to reduce corn to the form of spirits in order to overcome the diff culties of transportation, that in southwestern Pennsylvania an armed band inaugurated what is known as the whiskey rebellion. which was not put down until the troops had been called into the field. The whiskey tax was not profitable, however. and tax was then levied upon a wider range of commodities including carriages, certain spirits, snuff, sugar and the incomes from auction sales.
 Direct taxation was proposed in 1794 and four years later the first direct tax was imposed upon all dwelling

 It was due to Hamilton that the first national bank was estsblished in 1791 and that the coinage system was put upon a solid basis. Both of these were regarded with suspicion by many peo- pie. but it was not until congress adopted the recommendations of Ha- milton and embraced them in the tar if bill of 1791, that the unpopularity of the secretary of the treaAury as stunned its full proportions. Following the assumption of the state debts. the need of further revenue became imper- ative and Hamilton recommended tha. a tax be placed upon distilled spirits. This aroused intense antagonism, since the consumption of spirits was so common that many people contend ed that it's special taxation was a dis eliminating burden upon one of the necessities of life
