Inviting New Business.

The Mortified News says;
"Wessel Nickel 4 Gross Co., the con-
Germ manufacturing piano actions, who
recently visited Mortified looking for
a plant to do business, have gone TO
Barton, for the simple reason Barton
had place and definite proposition
to make They visited several towns
in the state in their search for home.
In this connection it is hoped that
property sites that are available for
manufacturing plants in Mortified win
be listed with the secretary Of the
Commercial club, so the minute any
thing is required the club will have
definite data to give out"
We are glad that Barton has secured
this new industry, but we do not think
that they went there simply because
Barton had an especially definite prop
osition to offer. Representatives of
this firm were met with open arms by
the Board OF Trade in Swanton, and
proposals the most definite were made
to them. There was nothing lacking
in that respect. We have no idea that
Barton could talk any more under
standingly about what they had 10
offer than Swanton or some other
places that were considered. The fact
is that the supply of hardwood tim
Der, which is the only reason for the
concern coming to Vermont anyway,
seemed best available at Barton.
The News idea about listing avail.
able factory sites with the Commercial
club, however, is good one. Swanton
has already done this, several months

The marble deposit which lies at the

fortunately, the full benefit of the
opening up of this quarry land, as well
as that of Roxbury, will not fall to the
community in which the land is located
inasmuch as the rough stock is to be
shipped to West Rutland and there put
through the finishing processes. The
marble of the verde antique variety is
said to be of splendid quality and quite
rare. Possibly there is future Of

Some evidence of the ferment in Ger

attempted assassination of Matthias

CURRENT COMMENT
vermont,s Big Income Men.

Income tax returns for the year 1918
show that eleven men in this state
have an annual income OF 100000 each,
one of Sl50,000, one Of S250,000, two Of
100000 and one Of 81 100000. Who
can tell who this $l,500,000 man is 7
There are only ten other states in the
union having men with such incomes
and only "a men in the whole country
who have such an income. OF course
New York leads with 10 such men and
Ohio is second with five. Michigan does
not have a single man earning such a
large income, so some Vermonter is
beating Henry Ford, -Brattleboro Re-

Barre certainly has passed the talk

has taken its cut from the Wilson adj

teachers with riches. Some Of them

money and probably forthwith will pro-

which was during the time Mr.. Graham
was auditor of accounts up to and in
Guiding the last year he was in that
Office The Greensboro Gulf road also
| figured in the testimony of Auditor
BENJAMIN Gates. The figures intro
duced for the different fiscal years be
tween 1902 and June 30, 1918, show a
total of Sl9,490.5S.
Another question asked Mr.. Gates by
Attorney Barber set the spectators to
wondering: Mr.. Barber asked:
"When Mr.. Graham turned over the
Office, what did he say about an over
draft?'
Mr.. Gates: HE said nothing"
Mr.. Barber; "Did he say anything
about an overdraft?"
Mr.. Gates: mot at that time"
Mr. Barber, "When was your atten-
ton called to the matter?"
Mr.. Gates: I'm the summer of 1917"
The defense made objection to the
admission of the testimony relative to
the accounts of the auditors office be-
fore 1913, claiming the statute of lin
itation had expired. The state claimed

show there had been a general trend
toward overdrafting The court ruled
that such might take place, subject to
the exceptions of the defense. The
state started into a lengthy outline of
the manner in which these were carried,
but the defense claimed that If they
were read by the year. that the object
required would be obtained without en-
tering into the minor details of each
years accounts, and the state was d.
rected to conduct its examination in
that manner, which it did with the re-
suit that Sl9,496.5s in addition to the
sum that has already been introduced
between the years April 80, 1919, and
June 80, 1916, was added, with the ex-
ception of the two months in 1913,
which Mr.. Gates did not have separat-
ed but which il is understood will be
cleared up later. This is where the evil

that introduced last week.

The colored Representation In the
Veterans Of Foreign Wars.

Much credit is to be given for the
magnificent showing made by the
company Of 100 men, with a band of
fifty musicians, representing a colored
post in the parade given by the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, in its annual
encampment held in this city. This
delegation came from Harrisburg,
Pa, and was the only colored unit in
the parade. Notwithstanding the fact
that there are numbers of colored men
in Washington who by virtue of hay
ing served on foreign soil are eligible
to membership in the organization,
there is no colored post here affilia-
ted with the Veterans. Hence usual
social courtesies that should have
been extended to the delegation from
Harrisburg were extended by Column
bia Lodge No. IS, Benevolent Protec-
umbia Lodge is thanked by the citi-
zens of Washington for thus paying a
token of respect to the visitors. The
Harrisburg delegation is clean-cut in
every particular, and was wildly
cheered along the line of march, be-
cause of their dignified, manly bear
ing and their military discipline. 1t
is needless to say that the music fur
nished by the band was of the best,
for did not the small boys who fol-
lowed it say, Gee, they are the col
ored marine band?'" 1t is to be hoped
that the showing made by this delega-
ton will be an inspiration to local
veterans t. put life" into a post here.
Among the distinguished visitors
may be mentioned Captain Frank
Stewart, a prominent lawyer of Pitts.
