Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1920-04-01

While there is great need of more
money for better highways to in
crease the transportation facilities Of
our farms, more money for both build
ing new road beds and for mainte
nance, more money for agricultural
support, for better schools and many
other very urgent needs, We are face
to face with the fact that our present
state tax of 40 cents, and our local
taxes are unbearsbly high, and even
now do not provide adequate revenue.
We can accomplish much in refining
our business methods and in watch
ing expenditures, but that will not
make a material change in the con-
ditions that confront US.
The plan of progress for Vermont
greatly increases the income without
increasing the tax rate.
It utilizes our latent energies.
1t is already operating in a few
spots in Vermont, but thus far there
has been no State spirit for spreading
It's influence. 1t has merely grown
through activity Of local workers.
1t is now proposed to inject this
scheme of Industrial Plant Culture
into this campaign because it is the
only way, it is the best way, it is the
| big way to solve our problems.

brought 100000 per year into the state
in SO to six plants that brought abou
| $4,000, 900 last year. These six plants
are ali prosperous and filled with
young enthusiastic people who are
competent to start other plants. Near
| ly all of this sum comes into Vermont
and is invested here.
There has been demonstrated here
in the last thirty years plan of In
dustrial Plant Culture that can be eX
tended.
| believe that millions of dollars @
our savings institutions will find thei
way back into Vermont when we dem

This plan is in harmony with tn
prime need of agriculture, for it draw
greater population into the state an
increases the home market.
1t balances the states activities t
the benefit of all. Vermonters hav
been migrating TO other states becaus
our State has not offered good oppoT
tunities.
1t is not proposed to neglect the i'm
, mediate need of our State while set
ing in motion the big plan.
We know that there should be in
creased support for agricultural edu
cation, including adequate aid for tn
