FLAGLER's CHRISTMAS EVE

Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1920-02-25

As near as we can judge the MINDS
of the people of Vermont in regard TO
the Graham case, they view the mat
ter about like this: Graham Is guilty
of using some of the states money
in his own business for a greater OF
less period of time, just as the jury
found he did but that he made com
plete restitution; that system OF hand
ling the states money which would
allow such a thing to take place Is
to some degree responsible for the
act: that Graham never criminally IN
tended to defraud Vermont or its
people out of one cent; that IN the
trial and conviction of Graham the
states executive and judiciary depart
ments have fulfilled their duties, the
bar has been indicated, and the good
name of the state upheld; that IN the
fall from position and power Horace
Graham has suffered 'punishmtnt more
severe than fine or imprisonment can
now infiiet upon him and that Gov
Clement would be justified IN taking
the case from the courts by granting
Graham a pardon.

Vermont Should Aid the East

The campaign to aid the suffering
peoples of the Near East is being con-
tlnued in Vermont, and while, owing
10 the severe weather conditions, 1t
has been impossible to organize many
OF the counties and towns, all Yer
monters are urged to make their con-
-trlbutlons either to their county or
town chairman.
Elsewhere in this paper an adver-
tlsement appears which outlines the
plan on which contributions are asked.
Read the advertisement" suggests
Roland L. Stevens, state chairman, and
every owner of an automobile and all
those who have q desire to have an
automobile viii tax themselves 10
cents for each horse power of the en-
CINE IN the car, knowing that their
contribution may save a life Who
would not contribute, and contribute
literally when such small units of a
contribution mean food for the hungry
and the saving of honest lives. near
ly exhausted for the need of food.
Il want TO see Vermont raise S7O.-
900 for the Near East Relief. We can
90 this and not ore contributor will de-
prive himself of an essential. He will
have ms three m~ais every day, clean
bed TO sleep IN every night With his
contribution he is making it possible
for the Christian people of the Near
East countries-people who have suf-
fered long and to the limit of suffer-
ing to have some nourishing food and
clothing to cover their nakedness.
Who is there who can refuse to
respond to this appeal. am sure
every Vermonter will willingly do his
part and that he will do it without de-
lay that the money may be fastened
across the water to these suffering
people"
In case there is no organization in
the readers town for the collecting of
contributions to the Near East cause
ne should enclose the money in an
envelope and address 1t to Roland F.
Stevens, State Chairman, Near East
relief, White River Junction. II a

lists and tax rates, give the highway
commissioner full authority over
trunk-line roads and the state board
of education what additional authority
NAV be necessary over the schools.
Actually, state organization IS
much more likely to be efficient than
county organization, but the real
problem is that of the bankrupt town
which neither town nor county organ
ization could help. The next legls-
Iature viii be asked to say whether
such towns shall be aided by special
appropriations as in the past or wheth-
er they shall revert to the condition OF
state charges.
That is really the problem, rather
than one Of organization or authority.

Sees Germ of Idea in County Unit
(Rutland Herald)

The Barton Monitor devotes its
editorial space this week to exploiting
a tentative plan for recognizing the
state OF Vermont so far as its town
revenues and highway expenditures
60 1t is unfortunate that it is not
more clearly stated, as evidently there
are the germs Of an idea within.
II the Herald grasps the notion, it
proposes a county unit for taxation
and expenditures, the grand lists to
be equallZed, the taxes assessed and
the roads and schools provided for
by central county authority. The
scheme is vague when it comes to de-
tails, and certainly no such plan is
possible without constitutional amend
ment
The advantages claimed for the
scheme are ID equalization of taxes
through centralized county board.
Cd equitable distribution of the rev
enues according to the needs of the
schools and roads IN the proposed
county unit, 81 preservation of town
prestige and town lines. aithouoh
most Of the authority of such towns
would be taken away from them.
To most students of the small-toyn
problem, the scheme would appear to
lack SIMPLICITY, TO begin with. The
complications between town and coun-
ty authority, county and state author
ity, and town and state authority
would be endless, and the county or
ganiZatiqn would certainly be top
heavy and costly. It Is not the SIM
plest thing in the world to get men to
serve their respective town offices
as matter of public duty. When It
comes to getting into the county-unit
plan, It would require a staff OF salar-
led men or the work would not be
done
a far simpler plan would be to keep
the town and state organiza tons ex-
act-y as they are, give the tax com
missioner authority to eaualize grand

All True of Emery
(Rutland Herald)

Although Curtis S. Emery is not
as yet candidate for anything, The
Herald rather likes the way his '-home
paper" the Express and Standard,
takes the mention of his name. 1t
says that if he runs he ought to run
on something better than having been
the head of q committee which paved
Newports principal street.
Naturally, however, the accomplish
nent even of one good street is some
thing In a candidates favor, but the
Newport contemporary says that Mr..
Emery's friends expect a great deal
more of him:
They would expect him to be an adj
voeate of good roads, as he is, and for
every Improvement that is beneficial
to the state. They do know that he is
capable of facing most any issue and
holding his own with the best That
he does not side-step or palaver, or
beat around the bush, or show false
front, or bow down to that not in line
with his belief for the sake of adulat-
ion or to please. He is a man of fine
appearance, Of sound judgment, a good
speaker, progressive, and If a candi-
date for the governorship and elected
would be q man suited to the place
Mr. Emery has so far refused to
permit his name to be used" in con-
nection with the governorship, but, If
what the Express and Standard says
is true, he would certainly be a good
man to keep IN touch with.

Bancroft Slick Flim-Flamer
(Stanstead (P.Q.) Journal)

Russell Y. Bancroft, promoter of
Camp Westmore," proves to be one
of the star get-rich-quick artists. He
seems TO have been the greatest OF
flin-hamers, and now Camp West
more is in bankruptcy, but where is
Bancroft? Evidently the jail has no
terTors for him as, according TO press
reports, he has served four years for
forgery and Is months for perjury.
He Is reported as q very sleek article
and can bamboczle the most. astute.
This IS . most tragical ending Of a
most worthy enterprise. The location
furnishes a beautiful setting for q
camp. and II IS simply a shame 70
have it so dissipated. No matter what
else Bancroft may be he IS certainly .
judge of locations. There are reliable
rumoEz that the project viii be re-
organized by decent people and han
dledin business way. 1t is worthy
of It.

wHOLE-sOULED AMERICANISM

The BrattIeboro Post of the Amer
lean Legion, has gone on record as
opposed to the action of the national
executive committee of the Legion in
asking for an act in Congress which
will give every service man a $50
bonus for each month of service. The
total cost to the government of this
bonus plan is figured TO cost nearly
S2,000,000.000 and the Brattleboro
post advances several whole-souled
Americanly patriotic reasons why the
bonus scheme should not come into
being. One was that the members of
the post did not feel that their ser
vices could be repaid by the govern
nsnt IN money, and that when a legion
asked a monetary compensation for its
services It would lose the prestige and
high esteem in which it is held
throughout the United States. 1t is
felt also that to thrust forth its hand
asking for money, when it is suppo-
sed to stand for that which IS highest
and dearest to the true and loyal-eit-
izen, at this time when the country
Is enbroiled in political debate and Is
IN more Strengthened circumstances
than it has been for years, would be
un-American.
The post does not approve the idea
of insisting that Congress pass an
act which it does not seem DESTROYS of
passing, as such insistence would
place the senator's and representatives
In an embarrassing position as they
might think the disfavor of the ex-ser-
vice men would be incurred by voting
against the proposition.
"We consider that the government
made a great mistake" the records
of the Brattleboro post read, when
they paid exhorbitant salaries and
wages to men who deliberately avoid
ed the draft and went into shipyards
for employment This was a wrong,
but we do not feel that dne wrong
will right another. In the confusion
and connection of the first months of
the war, the government was up
against proposition that may well
have staggered any nation. Their
first thought was to speed up product
ion and, therefore, they felt that the
steps they took were justified"

OF Interest to Barton Readers
Barton. Vermont
Fred d. Pierce.

For months Barton citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Bar
ton residents. Would these promi-
nent people recommend remedy that
had not proven reliable? Would
they confirm their statements after
years had elapsed If personal expert
enee had not shown the remedy to be
worthy of endorsement? The follow
ing statement should carry conviction
to the mind of every Barton reader.
Mrs. E. C. Wilkie, High St, Bar
ton says: 81 had severe pains in
my back-and other symptoms of kid
ney trouble. I knew of many people
who had been cured by Doan's Kid
ney pills and / tried them. Three
boxes of this medicine removed the
trouble
EIGHT YEARS LATER, Mrs.
Wilkie added: "When 1 need a
kidney medicine | use Doan's Kid
ney pills and they certainly give ex-
cellent results. l am glad to re-en-
dorse them"

Thinks Partiticning Of Small Towns
Best
(Bratt,c orc Reformer)

Undar the above heading the Or
leans lnty Monitor prints an inter
elsewhere in this issue. The sugges-
ton of taking away from the towns
control of their highways and their
schools and appraisal Of property for
taxation and assessment of tax rate
certainly is rather radical. Whether
the people OF the state would approve
OF such move is questionable as it
takes these rights away from all the
towns, not simply from those small
towns unable to support a town gov
eminent.
The Monitor shows that at one time
four towns in Orleans county contained
81 per cent of the taxable property in
the whole county and % per cent of
highway mileage of the county. The
other IA towns possessed 80 per cent of
the taxable property and IS per cent
OF the highway mileage. The Unequal
ity of the highway burden of the two
classes of towns is evident But the
state has already granted a large de-
gree OF relief TO poor towns by assess
ing an equal highway tax on all towns
and cities and dividing the revenue
according to the ratio of the high
way mileage of a town TO the total
ing the large fund from automobile
licenses among the towns according to
needs rather than population. The
small towns receive hundreds of thou
sands of money more each year than
they contribute to highway funds.
The Monitor might also have given
the further fact that the II towns of
the county mentioned contained in
1910 only AZ per cent of the popula-
ton of the county The proposed
change then would work 10 the advan-
tage of less than 50 per cent of the
whole people IN that county. Would
I the other 53 per cent Of the people be
willing TO vote more of their rights to
the minority?
The Reformer does not attribute
20 the town the same sacredness as
the Monitor. The laying out of the
towns when the state was practically
solid wilderness may have been an
engineering equality but 1t completely
/ ignored the topography OF the terri
tory and the natural centers of civil
lzatlon and trade. For more than
century the people of Vermont have
reserved the acreage OF their munich
al divisions at the expense and incon-
venlence of the people. 1t would seem
/ proper now to consider the needs and
convenience of the people rather than
20 continue the supremacy of acres.
We still believe the suggestion of
the Reformer, made early last spring,
that towns separated by hills and
mountains into isolated communities
be divided so the sections would be
made parts of the towns to which they
naturally gravitate is proper. There
are towns so small and poor they
should give up their town charters and
be annexed to other towns or be made
state territory. This would reduce
slightly the number of representatives
IN the legislature, the expense of state
government and make town represen-
tatlon more representation of the
people and taxpayers than of back
pastures and wasted wood lots.

state that Governor Clement should
call a special session of the legisIa-
ture that Vermont may be one of the
SO states to ratify the Susan B. An
thony amendment to the United States
constitution granting full suffrage to
women. As it now stands Vermont
might have the distinct honor of being
the 36th state TO ratify, thereby lead
