GOOD RECORD


Louisville, KY, Sept. 3O.-Among
the misleading Literature issued by
the Republican Campaign Commit
tee is statement in regard to the
insurance rating board to the effect
that it has "cost the taxpayers of
Kentucky in three years $77,918.34
in salaries and travelling expenses" y,
The statement includes a question !;
"What has the Insurance Rating
Beard done for your" =
3 Said Chairman Rhea, of the Dem
ocratic State Campaign Committee,
yesterday:
''The Insurance Rating Board
does not cost the taxpayers of Ken
lucky red cent" the Chairman con-
tinued, "The expense of maintain,
ing the board is provided for by a
special assessment levied against the
insurance companies, and not a red
cent has been or can be drawn from
the State Treasury to pay any of
the expense of this Office. The year
1916 practically ended the first five
years of the existence of the Rating
Board, and during the five-year pc
Rod fire insurance in Kentucky cost
an average of 1920 on each $1,000
of insurance. For the five years
prior to the creating of the Insur-
ance Rating Board, the cost pei
thousand, dollars of insurance was
$3.50, a saving of $1.1O thousand,
or TWO AND A QUARTER MIL
LION DOLLARS to the property
owners of Kentucky in those five
years.
''In this REDUCTION the farmers of
Kentucky profted to the extent of
$4,000 a year, because their rate
was reduced II per cent, and they
save 100000 during these five
years. The reduction in the whole
country during these five years was
90 cents thousand, Kentucky's re-
duction being 20 cents thousand
under the national ACREAGE, or about
100000 more saved to the policy
holders of Kentucky, more than to
the people of other states as whole.
The companies re-rated mercantile
properties in Kentucky to show an
increase of SO pc rcent. The Insur.
ance Rating Board compelled the
withdrawal of these rates and the
reinstatement of the old ones, saw

eral changes. The league is made up
of and will start the season with five
teams and schedule was also drawn

This league will prove to be Of last

of the keenest rivalry and viii be an
added incentive to each team to make
try for the cup and have chance of
playing the winner of the older organ

above mentioned which comprise this
league.
The local team is or will be almost
as good as last years fast team and
its supporters should turn to and give

Those $500 tons Of Barre granite
which are to be placed in Lake Cham
plain to rectify the list in the Colches-
ter reef lighthouse are but an infnitesi-
NAL part of the waste granite which
Barre has on hand for just such pur
poses and other purposes In fact,
there is enough waste granite at the
Barre quarries and stonesheds to build
huge mountain right in the middle of
Lake Champlain and still have enough
left for sizeable islands dotting the
surface of the water. The packing in
dustry has the advantage of the gran
lite industry, for the packing industry
is said to utilize all parts of the pig
except the squeal while Barre has a by
product which would seem to be very
valuable yet which is not utilized only
in comparatively small proportion 1t
remains evident that the man who dis
covers a practicable outlet for this by
product of the granite industry will
make name and vast riches for him

AN UNJUST INDICTMENT.

The long drawn out, malodorous muir
der trial in Barre has come to an end
with the dramatic shout Of innocence
on the part Of the accused man, as he
disappears behind prison walls Wheth-
er the real facts of the murder ever
come out or not will have but little in
terest to the general public, which is
pretty well convinced that justice has
not failed i'll this instance. A matter
of much more Importance to the city
where the tragedy took place is, wheth-
er it will now arise and clean out the
cesspool which has been poisoning the
moral atmosphere of the place for sew
eral years, known to all the inhabi-
tants, but without single effort hay-
ing been made to abate the nuisance
Rutland Herald
1t is not fair Indictment to say
that "al the inhabitants of Barre
knew of the alleged "cesspool," to
which the contemporary refers. As a
matter of fact, all the inhabitants of
Barre did not know of the character of
the place or even of the reputation
which had been attached to it, A few
people probably did know Of the repu-
tation Of the place, and some, of its
character.
No doubt the contemporary was mis-
led by highly colored stories which
have been told about the matter since
the Broadwell murder and which were
magnified in the telling until one might
have been induced to believe that a
publicly -placarded brothel was in ex-
istence in Barre
AS for the cleaning up of the alleged
"cesspool," . it is only necessary to state
that the facts are in the possession Of
the prosecuting officers and that the
public sentiment Of Barre is emphati-
cally in favor of action which will
make such places impossible. The par
ticular place to which the disrepute at
tached in this case is no longer of such
nature.

1t is no slight distinction to Yer
mont, on top Of her record in the world
war, to have the banner come to the
state for the largest percentage of
membership in the American Legion of
any state in the country. Vermont
sent large number of men into the
service, considering her population, and
those men are continuing their patriot
ism and their brotherhood by joining
that organization which is probably
destined to carry out the spirit aroused
by the high ideals Of the United States
in that war. The Vermont branch Of
the American Legion is to be congratu-
lated on the honor which it has brought
back to Vermont.
