Ice Crop This Year Discourages
Vermont Ice Men
Especial to the Caledonian)

Burlington, Jan. 29-Ice dealers of
the city and vicinity are becoming
pessimistic over the outlook for the
usual harvest. The mild weather is
not making the ice men feel any too
pleasant nowadays, as Lake Champ
lain is still uncovered. The ice in the
bay has been too thin for profitable
housing and the conditions for gath
erlng have been very unfavorable.
Twenty-ninc years ago the lake refus-
ed to freeze over and the ice men fear
a similar situation this season.

ONE YEAR EXTRA
PAY PLAN FAVORED
BY OUR SOLDIERS
Thinks Thirty Dollasr a Month Too
Small Pay for the
Soldier
National Headquarters Pre-
sent Their Request for
Years Pay
PUT BILL TO CONGRESS
Dear Sir

Dear Sir
Do you know that the majority of
the men that joined the service this
year at Norfolk gave up positions
paying them around $4,000 per
month and some as much as $4,000
per month? Compare that with $50
per month.
This is a moral issue. The men Of
the service worked or fought night
and day for whatever the Government
chose to pay them; they did not
strike, neither did they get ten per
cent plus They only obeyed orders.
The only record we have of the whole
company disobeying orders was that
tnc OF our companies were charging
the Huns and the officer gave orders
to halt, but they captured several
German dugouts before obeying him.
At public mass meeting held in
the Armory Hall the plan was dis
cussed and voted on. Every one
present voted to request Congress TO
enact a law in accordance with the
plan.
Some people oppose the plan be-
cause it will cost the Government
three 81 billion dollars, saying that
we are not able to stand it. Such
statements are an insult to the flag,
for our experts tell US that it would
have cost US over twenty-five (25)
billion dollars per year to have ear
ried the war on several years longer
and they further state that we could
have financed it for number of
years under our same Liberty Bond
plan. Now, taxes, don't faint, for
our generation could pay three 81
billion off by an average increased
tax of just one dollar per year for
each person of the United States
Our great country is not bankrupt;
no, far from it. A vast amount. of
money we have borrowed has been
invested in permanent improvements
and bonds of our Allies and should
we be disposed to do so we can collect
the balance from Germany. Our
government is better off financially
than any government or institution
in the world today.
Others oppose it, saying that it
would put too much money in the
hands of the irresponsible. Well
when you hear man talking like
that, lie either does not know what
class of men are in the service OF he
is one of those kind of men that ask
ed every one of his friends to sign
his or his sons exemption card while
your boy or brother was going to the
front to defend humanity.
There is no charity in this plan. Il
will only give the men what they
have earned thrice and a very small
portion of what they deserve. How
much would we have had if it had not
been for the men of the service?
Would it be giving our service mer
a fair deal to only give them one
month bonus when their commercial
competitors have saved few thou
sand dollars for a rainy day, while the
gates of our national treasury were
SWING wide open from necessity?

Found Vermont Hotel Key on French
Battlefield
Especial to the Caledonian)

Especial to the Caledonian)
Burlington, Jan. 29-Second Lieut..
George Carpenter, just returned from
France, found key to room rs of
the New Sherwood House that he
picked up on the battlefelds of
France. He was walking along a
shell torn road and his eye caught
sight of an object which attracted his
attention at once. He picked it up
and it proved to be the key to room
rs of the Sherwood. Carpenters
home is here, and so he sent the key
back by mail, but it never has
reached the house. There is no known
explanation as to how the key came
to be on the French battlefield.

GOV. CLEMENT SENDS
LIST OF APPOINTMENTS
TO The LEGISLATURE
Few Bills Yet introduced and Session May Prove to Be
Short One

Early adjournment Of the House
Yesterday afternoon enabled the va
rious committees to get together and
act on several measures which will
be reported this week. But the fact
remains that both branches of the
General Assembly are far behind the
records of other sessions, mainly be-
cause fewer bills have been introduce
ed. The latter part of the week may
witness a food of new measures. Ii
they do not appear or are not in the
hands of the revisers by the first Of
next month it can be safely said that
the present session will be short
one for the bills now pending can
be disposed of in short time
The Hon. John Barrett, director
general of the Pan American. Union,
and a native son, will appear before
the General Assembly in joint as
sembly February 9th, unless the
present plans are changed. He will
speak upon request Of the Legisla-
ture.
Judge Stearns of Burlington, rep
resentative from the Queen City IN
the session of 1917 and one of the

of Windsor was also a visitor yester-
day.

county is detained at home by i'll

Representative Belknap Of Rock
ingham created a big laugh in the
House Tuesday forenoon during his
speech opposing the bill to refer fed
eral prohibition to the people when
he said the measure had as much
chance of passing both houses of the
Legislature "as the proverbial snow
ball has of retaining its identity in
the realm of his satanic majesty
Representative Mcfarland OF Hyde
Park also created considerable
amusement by his droll manner of
referring to the question, saying a
referendum on the subject at the
present stage would be a post-mor-
tenn.
