With Mr.. Emery as the standard
bearer there is no doubt but that he
enters the campaign with the solid
support of Northeastern Vermont.
Mr.. Emery is one of the strongest
men that Northeastern Vermont has
ever produced. He starts his cam
paign with powerful support in every
part of the state.
Mr. Emery today gives through the
Caledonian-Record the platform upon
which he stands for election. 1t is as
follows:
81 am a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for Governor of Ver-
mont. The issues which rightly
claim the attention of the voters and
upon which may have something TO
say at later date include:
GA genuine effort to curb state
expenditures.
"2-Further encouragement of Ag-
riculture which is Vclmont's chief
reliance.
"3-The development of the indus
tflal possibilities ana natural feS0ur-
ces of Vermont which are large and
promising.
"a .sane but progressive high
way policy not in the interest of a
few, but for the benefit of all the peo-
pie of the state.
GA square deal for labor.
"6-The maintenance of a high
standard in our schools in which the
schools should be as nearly as posi-
BILE an equality of educational oppor-
tunities provided for all; condition
which cannot obtain from too great
centralization and with inadequate
pay for teachers.
"7-Continuance of The recognition
of Verlnont's obligation to her re-
turned soldiers.

How these utilities have ex. banded to meet demands for ser. vice is shown by these census bureau figures:

 wages. ,so. .l62.lsl i.7sl. ls7 Number of
 employees. 277.474 6s6. +3l
 The census shows that while the number of employees was p times as large in 1917 as in 1902. the amount paid in salaries and wages increased to nearly four times as much. The largest wage increases have taken place since 1917. indicating that the cost of labor has more than quadrupled.
 ARKANSAS UTILITIES
 Arkansas public utilities are assessed for $ll6. 656. 474. paying one-ffth of the taxes in the state. On a 50 per cent. valuation this. indicates that Arkansas utilities represent $23l, ,312. 94S of the to. tal of more than nine billions Probably the investment is much greater. But even that figure would show Arkansas to be ahead of many states in value of public service properties. As. if all the states had an equal amount the total for the United States would exceed II billions. As Arkansas has more undeveloped resources than any other state. and the service supplied by the electric. ity, telephone. gas, water and railway companies is necessary for the development of these vast resources, the record of the past decade denotes that many more millions must be brought into Arkansas in the next few years for new construction and expan- sion of the public utilities if the people are to get all they should from farms. factories. mines and other enterprises.
