| believe that millions of dollars of our
savings institutions will find their way

the safety of Vermont investments.
This plan is in harmony with the
prime need of agriculture, for it draws
greater population into the state and in
creases the home market.
1t balances the states activities to the
benefit Of all. Vemonters have been
migrating to other states because our
state has not offered good opportunities.
1t is not proposed to neglect the imme-
date need of our state while setting in
motion the big plan.
We know that there should be in
creased support for agricultural educa-
ton, including adequate aid for the state
college of agriculture and experiment
station, SO that these Institutions NAV in
creaslngly meet the needs of the farmers.
There should be an organization Of
farmers cooperative associations for
standardization and marketing of Yer
monts agricultural products 50 that they
may be marketed at theN lowest possible
expense and to the best advantage.
Assistance should be given to tho farmer

happier lives, happier homes. and better
cities.
The betterment of the physical condi-
ton of the state requires the expenditure
of large funds that are not available nm
der present conditions. Taxes are ALWAYS
burdensome, but especially so where the
income is small The tax burdens have
already been increased to a very great
burden on the people.
What is needed is to greatly AUGMENT
the income of the people, and increase the
| amount received by taxation without in.
creasing the tax rate. That this Is now
| possible is of greatest import to our statd
| and people, for it makes it possible To
| carry forward all good work II i an
| all-embracing scheme that meets all tho
issues that have been mentioned
Some of our problems are made difficult
by our failure to go directly to the basic
causes. Many of our largest business
interests and greatest activities can be
conducted by adhering to certain sim
pie, yet fundamental, principles, and if is
to those fundamental principles we must
now look, and we must act true to them
II we are to avoid the criticism of having
mlsmanaged the interests of the people
The true plan OF progress is one that
not only provides larger incomes for Yer
monters, but also makes better homes
and more congenlal opportunities.
Volumes have been written advising
men how to live, advising us how to
manage industries; but Vermont. if it
follows the plan set forth, will be the
hrst state to take a rational action to
build up the number of happy homes, and
the income of its people and of the state
as whole through rational scheme of
industrial plant termination and propaga-
ton
The scheme for the state would be one
by which seedlings and cuttings would be
taken from desirable industries in order
to start new units 1t is a weHknown
fact that the greatest industries have
started from very small beginnings.
The handicap that has prevented the
growth of small industries to larger ones
in Vermont has been the lack of under
standing of some of the fundamental
principles of industrial plant growth.
Through this lack of understanding, the
growth and evolution of a young plant is
money in such things fail to realize that
through the early years an industrial
plant needs most careful nurturing. 1t is a
very common experience to see a plant that
is growing naturally and evolving into
successful organization yanked out by the
roots by a board of directors who wish to
examine the thing to see when it would
begin to bear fruit. When the right at
ttudc i, attained great confidence will be /
established in rightly managed organi- |
cations.
This il not plan for wild financial
orgy. 1t is not i plan that endorses all |
schemes of taking seedlings and cuttings
from industrial plants, or even from de
snable plants unless these seedlings or
cuttings are healthy members and free

SPRINGFIELD, March 25.-.James
Hartness, Republican candidate for the
nomination of governor, gave out his in.
ltal statement to the voters of the state
last evening. 1t describes a nIan of far.
reaching effect to make Vermont a greater
state lndustrially and agricultrralIv Mr.
Hartness comes directly to the point in
treating the subjects he believes to be Of
vital interest to Vermont and the peonle
lie stands squarely out in favor of wo-
mans suffrage. That the statement, as a
whole, Is new in thought and reveals a de.
sire to aid in boosting the state into
greater prosperity is clear and conclu-
sive.
The statement follows:
believe in Vermont.
believe there IS a great future for our
state
believe it can be realized by provid-
ing nome opportunities for Velmonters
oelleve that the same spirit and en-
elgy mat has been successfully displayedI
by Nermonters IN agriculture, dairying,
ana various other state successes, can be-
displayed IN other desirable industries pro-
Vlding we conduct drive for industrial
plant culture to awaken interest and acti
witty.
While there is great need of more
money for both building new road beds and
Tor maintenance, more money for agri-
cultural support, for better schools and
many other very urgent needs. we areI
lace to face with the fact that our pres
ent state tax of 40 cents, and our local
taxes are imbearably high, and even nowl
do not provide adequate revenue.
We tar accomplish much in refining
our business methods and in watching
expenditure; but that will not make
material change in the conditions that
confront u.s.
Tho - s- " progress for Vermont

Repression Effective on the Screen; Mark of Real
 Artistry, Says Lloyd

Repression is one of the most eff fective factors in forcible and pleas ing acting for the screen as well as the stage" said Frank FloyAd, the well known director. Lloyd has already begun work on the preliminary de- tails of the filming of the great stage play Madame X". A sumptuous production is to be turned out by Goldwyn and Lloyd he's been given carte blanche to outdo his "A Tale of Two Cities" which is generally con. sidered one of the best dozen pie lures ever made. Pauline Frederick is to play the title role in Madame
 'At an earlier period" continued Lloyd, 'it was generally believed that more acting was necessary be- fore the camera than behind the foot lights. Bereft of the power of the voice, a great many intelligent ac- tors fell into the error of thinking that the handicap must be overcome by painting with heavy strokes. Few of us failed to be affected by that heresy.
 But with the progress of screen acting we have found that greater power accompanies reserve in meth cd, just as in the spoken drama The stage artists have learned this, if they are observant, and in casting roles calling for the exercise of restraint I often prefer them in photop1ay work for this reason. You can't get expression out of poor actors. As a rule, if they try it, they are apt to be wooden, or finding that they are unable to register well by such method they swing to the opposite and act all over the place, as the profession phrase it.
 'SThe natural school of acting, which has sharply distinguished the twentieth century stage from the nineteenth, does not indicate a loss of power or technical resource on the part of the actor, as many seem to think. Ii is the result of an improved command of the fine points.I In other words it is not so easy as it looks. It is the result of being able to apply technic with such accuracy, and nice shadings that it is not observable to the spectator. Joe Jefferson's mar vellous art was one of the first ex- amples of this. We know from his biographers that it came about through infinite labor over the smaII- est details, such as a simple fall or a seemingly unimportant entrance.
 The easier an actor makes his points the more he knows about the rules of his vocation; you may de- pend upon that. And maintain that in screen acting this is just as true as in work on the stage, for I have had exeprience in both branches"

LIBRARIES FOR
 GERMANY

London, April 1-Professor Skill ings of Middlebury College, Middle bury, Vermont, will leave this city for Berlin on Friday for the purpose of establishing one or more libraries of English and American books on phi losophy, science, literature and other branches of study. Books contained in these libraries will be such as are indispensable to university teachers but cannot be obtained in Germany at present.
 This work, which will be conduct ed by the English and American So- ciety of Friends, will be in connec- ton with relief activities in Central Europe. Arrangements have been made so that American and British representatives and committees from faculties of German colleges will su- pertntend the work of the libraries which will loan books to different universities desirous of keeping in touch with England and American thought.

In The Theatres
POLES.

POII'S.
 Two anonymous burglars prowl un- restrainedly through Owen Moore's latest Selznick comedy, Sooner or later" adding much to the various entanglements thereof, and bringing the comedy up over the high water mark in many of the scenes.
 These burglars look exactly alike they are brothers in real 1ife-and they keep in a constant state of dis quietude trying to keep up with them. The policemen think there is only one burglar, and that he is more than usually active.
 This hilarious comedy opens at the Poli theatre today with a complete change of program.
 On the vaudeville program there is a wealth of unusual novelty. The big musical act Mabel Be Careful, with a huge cast of fourteen clever people will make the stage hum with comedy, music and with original plot.
 Harry Puck, charming entertainer, in his original idea, will divert John son, Baker and Johnson, comedy Jusglers, will present an entirely new act and FSeiber and Griffin in 'eTime- ly Tunes," will bring more originality direct from the jester marts of Broad way.
 Pathe News will be released on Thursday so that Bridgeport may wit ness in person the latest events of the United States and of the world

EMPIRE,

The eternal triangle, two women and one man, is a dramatic plot as old as life itself; but at the same time it is always new and always capable of a different interpretation. There are two women and a man in Burnt Wings" the photodrama starring Frank Mayo now being shown at the Empire theatre, but the story, writ ten by Bayard Veil1er, author of 'fWithin the Law and ''The Thir- teenth Chair,'' is handled from an entirely new angle.

LYRIC.

Patrons of the Lyric theatre will be given an unusual opportunity next week when the greatest comedy suc- cess of decade. Peg O. My Heart 9 will be presented by the Poli Players. With Mary Ann Dentler playing the title role, in which she had two years experience with big road company, double assurance of a finished per formance is given by the management. There is something appealing about a play of the Peg O. My Heart type and everybody who enjoys one of the quaint old Irish stories should see it.
 Only a few more opportunities re- main in which to see the thrilling melodrama, '"The Tiger Lady, which has been playing to unusual success all this week. The production will be given final performance Saturday night.
 For Sunday night another excellent program has been arranged. The fa- nous story written by Rex Beach, ''The Barrier,'' will be the feature of the photoplays with a comedy by the Sennett comedians; the Pathe News; the 14th episode of 'HThe Lion Man, '' and a concert by the Lyric orchestra to round out the excellent bill.
