Question for Debate.

Judging by union standards, the
good lady in Proverbs, belauded as
she has been for centuries. set a
most questionable example. Her
price might be above rubies, but
what business had she to "rise up
early in the morning. before it was
yet light" and continue all day her
industrial pace-setting2 1t couldn't
have been good for her husband either,
fol- all we hear of his activity is that
he 'praised her" and that he "sat in
the gates"-which latter take to be
the Biblical equivalent of sitting on
the porch Of country store with his
feet on the rail, taking all her labor
for granted.-Exchange.

statement regarding the number of men
representing each State in the United

figures being taken, according to the
statement. from those issued by the Of

1888 men in the army of the United

at the foot of the list of New England
States
Acknowledgement II. T. johnson stated
this morning that he had filed in his
Office here in Montpelier as far back as
last September the names of more than
10000 Vermont men In the army at that
time. This list has materially increased
since then, so that it will probably reach
not less than 1000 men in the military
service, not including men enlisted In the
navy. The exact figures are not avail
able at this time, but ii would seem
that the report as printed in the Globe
underestimated Nermonts contribution

100000 NEEDED
TO PAY DRAFTEES
Bill in Vermont Legislature
Likely to Become Law-Issue
of Bonds not Improbable

Montpelier, Feb. 17.-Whether or not IL
a bond issue to meet the added expense Of
extending State pay to drafted men and
to women in the military or naval service
of the United States, as provided by H.
2l4. passed by the House this evening, Is
a question which is occupying the minds
of many legislators. II this bill becomes
a law, as seems highly probable, it will
mean an added expenditure on the part Of
the State Of close to one million dollars.
Prom all indications the budget will not
be very small this year. without this ex-
ira expense, and there is a strong feeling
among the lawmakers that It would not
be we'll to try to to pile on such a heavy
tax as would be necessary to take caro-
of this million dollar appropriation at this
time. 1t is felt by many that business
as usual" must be maintained. and that
bond issue is the only solution of the
problem, If the State would be kept out
of serious difficulties.
OF course, there are others who
thoroughly believe In the pay as we

hard times and who would not agree to
bond issue under any consideration. AS
the situation becomes clearer. however.
it seems to be the general opinion that .
bond issue for part of the extra expense
at least will be absolutely necessary.
Just how large an issue the State will
have to make to meet the situation 10
being quite generally discussed
The commissioner of taxes refers to the
matter Of taxes and bonds on page q OF
his report. and says:
I'm the last analysis there are but two
ways to raise the money to meet ous

namely, by taxation, and the issue OF

no magical proportion covering the use
of the two sources of revenue. We must
raise as much we can by taxation.
and then borrow the rest. 1t follows
that the more we can raise by taxation
the less we will have to use our credit
and the stronger will be our financial
condition.
In my judgment this is no time for

cal or sweeping changes with resultant
confusion in tax laws. When we ascer-

The present candidates are: DR.. r. j.

Ward six Ia the only ward In which a
nomination for alderman does not occur
this year. Ordinarily there would be none
in wards four or five but owing to the

death to fill out the year nominations take
place this year.

HUGH c. WALLACE
ENVOY TO FRANCE
President Appoints Well Known
Democrat as Successor to
William G.. Sharp

ON BOARD THE u. >. ). GEORGE
WASHINGTON. Feb. 16, (by wireless
to the Associated Press)
Wilson has nominated Hugh C. wal
lace of Tacoma. ambassador to France
to FIJI the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of william Graves Sharp
Washington, Feb. 16.---Hugh wal
lace has been n personal friend OF
President Wilson for a considerable
time and has made a close study of
the international situation since the
outbreak of the European war. He was
in England soon after the war started
in 1914, and was in consultation with
Ambassador Page. Mr.. Wallace also
is an intimate friend of Colonel Ed
ward NJ House, n member Of the Amer
lean peace commission.
Mr.. Wallace is perhaps as we'll
known in the business world, particu-
larly among men of finance. as he Is
in politics although his acquaintance
with men in political life is very ex-
tensive and includes men of prominence
in both political parties. 1t is perhaps
owing to the fact that he has been
of decidedly retiring disposition, a
disinclination for publicity, that he is
not widely known among people gem
orally as he is by business and pub
lie men.
