FUNDAMENTALS OF

~-S1A1~
BURLINGTON, Aug. 27.-"My friend,
Mr.. Agan, has, with a good deal OF po-
litical dexterity, stepped from his own
platform onto mine. His political advis-
ore are evidently closely in touch with
the political situation throughout the
state and they now realize that his or
gained platform is a dead ISSUE" said
Frederick RI. Rabbit, candidate for
nomination for governorship of Vermont
on the Republican ticket, speaking before
large gathering at the chamber of COM
merce luncheon held yesterday at Hotel
Vermont.
HE is now telling the public of his be-
| lief in. the modification of the Volstead
act. the return of the little red school to
| the rural districts, and has copied lit
orally my original announcement made in
the latter part of February for the build
| ing, patroIing and maintaining of the
trunk line highways of the state.
ssMr Agan now realizes that agricul-
tural developments, as well as Industrial
| developments, are necessary for the flu
ture progress of Vermont and it is ex-
pected that he will in his future adj
dresses attempt also to adopt these
statements from my organized platform. "
| In his address Mr.. Rabbit emphatically
stated, mo one feature of our state life
should receive marked preference over
| the other"
I'm my Judgment, the four fundamen-
| tails which would be most advisable for
the future progress and prosperity of
Vermont are improved school facilities
with special attention to the return
where needed of the schools in rural dis
tricts; more attention to our highway
problems, with the trunk line placed
under state control and such changes in
our banking laws as would tend to IN
crease development in our agricultural
and industrial enterprises.
NV legislative experience" said Mr..
Babbitt., leads me to believe that the
highway department of Vermont was not
fcreated TO perpetuate a political ministry
but to build good roads"
| Mr.. Babbitt stated that the recent ad
Ivertisement of Mr.. Agan's which asserted
that Mr.. Rabbit would, if nominated,
uphold and continue the present state
highway commission was absolutely
without fnudation and that these asser-
Itions were false.
In concluding his talk Mr. Babbitt
brought mp the ever present prohibition
question. stating that modification of
the Volstead act for the sale of small
percentage beer should be made by con-
Igress and some of the drastic and nm
enforceable prohibition laws removed"
Mr.. Babbitt stated that he had not
promised and would not promise any
political Office to any man if he is elected
lie stated that If elected he would devote
his time to no other business affairs than
those of the state and that he would de
vote the same energy to the affairs of
the state as he has devoted to his own
business affairs for the past 40 years

ters, they took both Mr.. and Mrs. Patti
son and baby Bob to the Juvenile court
where was unfolded a long story Of do
nestle troubles
In the story related to the prosecutor
Pattison claimed that a man named Nc
Carthy had come between him and his
wife.
Pattison admitted that he was jealous
of his wife and that this jealousy and
his love for Bob had caused him to take
the child to Chicago.
Mrs. Pattison, happy at having her
baby, only laughed as her husband told
the story.
Pattison was held in Jail for few
days and when the case came up for a
hearing in Juvenile court the chubby
faced, smiling, gurgling baby brought
back the domestic calm.
The Pattisons left the courtroom to-
gether.
That Mrs. Pattison and the baby had
again disappeared was not known to the
authorities until the shooting last night
and Pattison told the police that was the
cause of his attempt to end his life.

dress brought the statement that Patti

But all this actually happened when

Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois

BY efficient management he was able
to reduce the tax rate In Illinois 30
per cent In two years, thus saving
s4O00,000 annually to the tax pay
ers. Illinois was the only state In
the Union to reduce its tax rate DUR
ing the war. In many states taxes
were increased.
While most public executives were
talking about II. Governor Lowden
actually planned and put into effect a
comprehensive reconstruction program
for Illinois a year before the armis-
tice was signed. Governor Lowden
has demonstrated in Illinois that good
government Is a profitable investment
for the people. In discussing govern

"our public business is the most i'm.

evades the topic by replying that she

BOISE PAYETTE TO CUT
PRICES ON LUMBER

Word comes from Boise that rad
ical changes downward will be made
soon in the retail prices of lumber
by the Boise Payette retail yards The
prices of all classes of lumber will be
cut, Ito stabilize the market and
bring conditions back to normal. :"
To man up tree 1t looks as IL the
change (doWnward) is necessary IL
any business Is to be done by the
company in this neck of the woods.
No building operations are being car
ried on now in the Meridian commun-
ity for the reason that lumber at the
present price is prohibitive. While
carpenters labor is high, the lumber
cost is the thing that has discouraged
even the most enterprising and as a
result people buy only the lumber
that is absolutely necessary and that
is very little. The company controls
~ retail yards in Idaho, Oregon and
Utah and Colorado, and big ter
ritory will be benefited by this re-
duction.
