HOW TO REDUCE TAXES

Everybody complains about
tie high cost of living.
The big item in the high cos5
Of living is the high cost Of gov
eminent.
The biggest single factor in the
high cost Of government comes
under the general heading Of War.
Out Of every 800 We pay in
federal taxes 1913 is spent for past
wars and present preparations
for future wars.
The bills for past wars have
been contracted and must be
paid.
How much We must pay for flu
ture wars depends upon whether
we join the League Of Nations
of the woorld who are in the Lea
que Of Nations.
1t will cost the United States
billions Of dollars every year to
maintain the army and navy that
1t must maaintin if we stay out
Of the League.
That will learn that the cost Of
living will increase instead Of de-
crease
Nothing could be clearer than
this. 1t is as simple as A. B. G.
There is just one short cut to
cheaper government and less
taxes and lower cost of living.
The League Of Nations is that
short cut.
Out Of the League America
must keep armed TO the teeth-a
great army, a snper~-navy equal
to the job Of defending both OF
our coasts, --enormous- Coast de-
Tense works.
In the League, America can
join with other nations Of the
world IN policy of disarma-
ment as provided by Article
Eight Of the League covenant.
That article is in many res
poets the most important article
IN the League covenant.
1t is so important as it affects
the future peace and prosperity
OF America and all the other ma
ton that we ask every reader to
read it carefully and ponder 1t
deeply.
The full text Of Article Eight
is as follows:
The members Of the League re-
cognlze that the maintenance OF
peace requires the reduction OF
national ornaments to the lower
point consistent with national
safety and the enforcement by
common action of international
obligations.
The council taking account OF
the geographical situation and cir
cumstances of each state. Shall
formulate plans for such reduc
ton for the consideration anc
action Of the several governments
Such plans shall be subject f

adopted by the several govern
ments, the limits of armament
therein fixed shall not be exceed

The worthiness of Immigrants.

Commissioner General Caminetti OF
the immigration bureau, in his annual
report, recommends that in the new
immigration law which is being framed
it be provided that the burden OF proof
of legal right to enter the United
States be placed upon the applicant.
This seems so eminently proper and
necessary in the work of keeping the
door Of this country shut against unde-
sirables, that lack of such provision
in the past is matter of surprise. 1t
is principle Of our jurisprudence that
whoever charges any other with any Of
tense must bear the burden of proof.
An individual is presumed to be limo
cent until proved guilty. When il comes
to the deportation OF any person who
has legally entered the country, that
rule must apply. II is necessary TO
prove whatever conduct subjects him TO
deportation. But in the original effort
to enter the country the affirmative lies

privilege and should be compelled to
prove his right to receive it, The Unit
ed States should not be compelled to
prove him unworthy. Unless he can
show aflirmatively that he Is OF the
character of immigrant our laws permit
to enter, or not of the character they
do not permit to enter, he should be ex-
cluded. If we had applied that rule long
ago, placing the burden of proof OF eli
gibility upon the immigrant, we should
not now have so many undesirable dis
tnrbers in the country.
American citizenship is precious
thing too precious for us to give indis-
criminately 10 all who apply for il. II Is
so precious that worthiness to receive it
should be established afiirmatiyely by
those who ask for it. As entrance to
the country as an immigrant is the
first step towards acquiring citizenship,
the proof of worthiness should begin
there. He should prove himself worthy
when he enters and he should remain
continuously worthy until citizenship
il granted, Whether he should be com

CURRENT COMMENT


The president of the Vermont Dairy
mems association brought out some
facts in his recent annual report that
were illumining Among other things
he said that fully so per cent OF the
milk consumed in the Boston district
came from Vermont. This would indi-
cate strikingly the extent and impor-
lance of the milk business in this state,
for of course il is well understood that
Boston takes only part of the Yer
mont supply. Presumably from the
western half of the state more milk
goes to the New York market than to
the New England metropolis.
Another striking statement was to
the effect that the great majority Of
COW owners are now shipping the milk
to the markets instead of Transforming
the same into butter and cheese. Indeed,
the somewhat startling prediction Is
made that the time is near at hand
when Vermont will import butter for
its own consumption. This would seem
like carrying Goals to Newcastle.
The Organizations of milk producers
have undoubtedly operated to greatly
increase the price of milk and despite
all of the investment in creamery APP
paratus, on account of this greatly en-
HANGED price, coupled with the ever-in-
ereasing cost and scarcity of labor,
COW owners have found il more profit
able to dispose of their milk than to
90 to the trouble and expense Of man
ufacturing il into cheese or butter.
Furthermore. an additional factor
that cannot fail OF very great impor-
lance in this trend of the. dairy bust.
ness is found in the large inroads made
upon the demand for butter by the
many vegetable oil margarines. Perhaps
in no department Of food industry has
there been greater progress made in the
last FIVE years than in the development
Of these substitute buffers. The num-
Der Of people who prefer a butter made
from vegetable oils to butter made
from milk Is constantly on the increase.
Not only arc the taste and food value
practically a. good, If not better on the
average. but the cost IS much less.
The time is practically near at hand
when the great bulk Of the butter bust
ness Of the country viii be in the hands
~ the maWarine manufacturers. How
ever. the demand for good. clean, high.
grade milk viii never decrease, and

The marked falling-off in the number
o. arrests in Barre during the year
1919, as just reported by the chief of
police, IS a matter for satisfaction for
all the people Of the community. How
ever, Barre claims no special distinction
in that connection, the general trend
throughout the nation since the closing
OF the saloons under wartime prohibit
tion having been toward decrease in
The number Of offenses Of various kinds.
In Barre, as elsewhere, the arrests for
intoxication constitute the largest di-
vision Of the total arrests; and here in
Barre that division has been divided
almost in half during the past year.
with marked tendency to still further
reduction during the second half of the
year and an even stronger trend in the
came direction during this first month
81 the year 1920. At the present rate
the police report for 1920 should show
al least another reduction Of one-third
in the number Of arrests. No one can
DENY that such a condition is a distinct
Improvement, taken as a whole.

of the course Of instruction in king
making that the heir apparent shall in
spect the various possessions of the en-
pire in order to acquaint himself in a
measure with the conditions by per-
sonal view, in addition to the instruc-
ton which he gets from books and from
the lips of his mentors. The prince OF
Wales is 20 years of age. His father,
although still man in middle life, has
already served year longer than did
his father, King Edward VII, having
been on the throne since 1910; and
there probably is a spirit OF looking
ahead in London toward the inevitable.
So the prince of Wales is going about
his prospective domain as rapidly as
possible. Whether he will be permitted
to essay trip to India is problemati-

Certain guests in the Hotel Fullerton
at Chester, when that hostelry burned
recently, declare they had no warning
that their lives were endangered and it
was only by hearing loud talking, which
they thought at first was made in well
coming night guests, that they were
awakened and, later fully aroused by
the call of fire, after which they made
their exit by way of smoke filled halls
as best they could. 1t goes without
saying that hotel ought to have some
systematic way of arousing the in
mates in such contingency as that at
Chester, and the employees of the hotel
ought to be sehooled in the system just
the same as in the regular routine of
their work Safety demands such a
system and rigid adherence to it in an
emergency.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-01-22

The marked decrease in the number
OF births in Barre during the year 1919
leads to the belief that some of the
physicians may have been negligent in
failing to report births to the city clerk
as they are required by law to do.
This belief is heightened by the knowl-
edge that in the town of Bratteboro
there were 70 births which were not re,
ported within the time stipulated. Have
any Barre physicians been negligent!
