mr. Colder summarized his conclu-
.ions as to the effect OF Bolshevism
as follows;
"Russia has changed from auto
n ,,oev to Bolshevism and the ques-
.,or Is whether Bolshevism can cure
IA social ills from which the nation
entered under autOcracy. AS far as
,umanity is concerned it makes lit
he difference whether autocracy or
Rolsheyism, absolutism or anarchism
reign supreme. They are all des-
motto and they all make use of the
same weapons to enforce their wills.
The machine guns which were used
nv Nicholas II and the Black Hun
bred to shoot down liberals and So
cialists are used today by Lenin and
the Red Guard to kill liberals and
monarchists Nicholas and Lenin
are opposed TO freedom of speech, to
constitutional government, and they
give the same reason: the good OF
the people Autocracy granted all
privileges TO the aristocracy, Bolshe-
yism demands all opportunities fol
the proletariat. Neither works for the
GOOD of all the people but in the in
terests of single class. No mat
ter how much they sugar coat their
words and deeds, no matter what
plausible reasons they give, neither
Autocracy nor Bolshevism can deny
the fact that the only way to make
their theories work is by melting
hatred and using force. This eX-
plains why autocracy has failed and
why Bolshevism will fail. No good
can come from forceful methods, nc
love from battered, no noble-minded-
ness from ignoble ideas, no spiritual
uplift from british acts. Lenin' S ar
btrary DEGREES can no more bring
about the ideal he has in mind than
Nicholas despotic ukases attained
their object
The deep interest taken by the au-
dience in the address was indicated
by the numerous questions fired al
the speaker. In reply to these ques-
tons Dr.. Colder stated that in his
opinion Lenin is absolutely sincere
and is not actuated by selfish mo.
tives. He also stated that many 81
the policies now being enforced by

Taxation Equalization Board.

This paper believes that there is
evidence of great need for a state
taxation equalization board in recent
grand list figures given out from the
state Office, and in events recently
developed in connection with certain
Rutland county lists. The detail of
such a plan would needs be worked
out carefully, but other states have
such boards and it is believed great
benefit would result in Vermont from
such a plan. Brattleboro is said to
have the second largest list of any
town or city in Vermont, but Brattle-
boro may or may not have the second
largest property value based on actu-
al sale values. One town sets piece
of property in the list at $4,000, for
example, and raises 81 tax, while
the next town might set the property
in the list at $4,000 and raise 81
tax. We need greater equality of
valuation for taxation and greater
equality of tax rates.-Barton Mont

may get out a few extra votes for
the candidate making the appeal, but
it does not 60 far when considered by
the voters of the state as whole, who
really do not care from what section
of the state an official may come if he
fills the bill. The voters of the state
as whole desire TO elect efficiency
regardless Of where efficiency may re-
side, whether it be in Windham eoun
ty, in Orleans county or in Windsor

be the test of great importance, albeit
closely followed by some other consid'

A LITTLE FIRE PREVENTION
NEEDED NOW IN VERMONT.

ANl-iI1iAi1 wv aA' ' f@AN%AO-' -
President Wilson has designated Oct.
as fire prevention day. That date
is considerably later than the average
householder in Vermont will start his
furnace fire for the winter, and SO it
may be the part of wisdom for Ver-
mont people to observe fire prevention
day considerably earlier than Oct. 8.
Such observance will include a rigid
of the various parts of the
heating apparatus, the stovepipe and
the chimney to see that there are no
defects which might permit the escape
of sparks or the ignition of inflam-
mable material which was allowed to
remain in too close proximity to heat
ed parts of the furnace. A minute ex-
animation of the various parts OF the
heating system from cellar to garnet
will go far toward making reason
able observance of fire prevention day
and will have tendency to cut down
the annual fire loss quite materially,
So fire prevention day in Vermont
ought to come at time earlier than
Oct. ., a date which may be all right
for the region around the national
capital. Each person can observe the
day of his own designation, such day
being before the fires are started in
the furnace and stove for the winter.

Sugar Prices and boarding.

sugar, with more coming every day, il

all Of its raw sugar on contract. The
Posts comment that "the contract is
