A Kick on Passenger Service.

OF late there has been considerable
kicking on the passenger service on
the interurban line between Clarks-
burg and Fairmont especially in re-
garding the car leaving Clarksburg
at 7:45 a. m. and arriving at Fairmont
at 800 o'clock. It Is one car trip
and runs at a time when the passen.
ger traffic is the heaviest, ateleast on
the northern part of the line. On
Monday morning last when the car ar.
rived at Fairmont 266 passengers were
registered and they were packed in
the car like sardines in q box, about
four car loads into one car. With "a
6 per cent. quarterly dividend and the
present rate of fare charged the. M. Y.

AGAINST bogus Oath.
Hoax Usually Makes Reap

The reappearance In certain sec.
lions OF the country Of the bogus
fourth degree oath OF the knights Of
Columbus has led James A. Flaherty
& Of Philadelphia, Supreme Knight OF
the X. of c., TO issue warning to any
who take part in circulating this al
legee oath and TO request the press Of
the United States and Canada to aid in
enlightening the public regarding the
falsity OF this oath"
.gThe knights of Columbus, !" Mr.. Fla
herty stated, Invite information from
anybody regarding circnlators Of the
alleged K of G. fourth degree oath.
This bogus oath, revolving in charac-
ter, has been In circulation for many
years. It is a blasphemous and evilly
Designed document, calculated TO stir
up religious hatred and to inflame BIZ
gotry. Strangely enough, Its appear
ance comedies With general election
years.
THE knights oil Columbus Is not an
oathbound organization, and, as far
rs secrecy is concerned, we have more
than once submitted the internal work
ings OF the Order, even to the details
OF degree wirk, for examination by
Catholics, even ministers -of prot
us TO be simply patriotic organiza-
ton striving to do good wherever and
whenever we can.
Recently this disgusting bogus
oath, containing foolish threats Of mas
sacre and carnege against those who
do not agree with us in religious mat
ters, wrs circulated in Albany and
Providence and in upstate parts of
New. York and rural sections of other
states. An attempt was made to Cir
lculate It during the war, but the De-
partment of Justice stopped that, the
scirculator being an alien enemy and
that fact is significant in the recent
attempt to revive the oath The oath
is usually printed with catch line at
the bottom, stating that 1t has been
taken from the Congressional Record.
The truth is that 1t has appeared in
the record, as evidence in an election
case in which It was successfully used
against a candidate who happened to
be a knight of Columbus. His oppon-
emit strongly disclaimed knowledge Of
the 'oat'
The knights OF Columbus believes
that this oath is circulated by ignor-
ant persons who are victims OF a
more or less intelligent attempt to
discredit the organization and cause
religious strife for political or other
ends. We shall prosecute those who
malign us by distributing this oath
whenever and wherever we may find
them. We have already obtained a
large number of convictions in various
parts Of the country.

err distinct service by warning the
public against this foolish attempt to

accomplished under the principalship

that is a high school for this, section.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Industrial Census

The industrial census. to be taken
beginning March /. will reveal the
nations wealth and productive pow
er in startling figures. Industrial
capacity today vastly exceeds that OF
ten years ago. as partial figures
published by different industries at
test, not alone as measured in dol
lars Of less than half their former
value. but in units Of quantity. War
needs forced an abnormal expansion
of plant equipment. and the demand
for peace-time goods has fully oc-
cupied large proportion of this ad-
ditional productive power
The census will tend to throw
light also upon labor conditions and
the problems of industrial relations
The takers will solicit figures on the
number Of workers employed and
hours and wages, and in the quest
for Information will visit the 4O0,-
600 manufacturing concerns listed
by the census bureau. except where
satisfactory results can he obtained
by mail. The data obtained will
have first Importance in the settle
ment of many wage disputes here
after and discussion Of the more
general problems Of business.
Hereafter an industrial census
will be taken every two years. Di-
rector Rogers says.

CRYSTALLINE VIEW
ON NATION UPON
MERCHANT MARINE
Hearings Before Senate Com
mittee Expected to Remove
Uncertainty In Policy.

Opinion Is slowly crystallizing on
the subject OF the government-owned
merchant marine. Hearings before
the senate committee on commerce,
which have been in progress for
some weeks. have brought out
nothing new and revolutionary, but
are undeniably helping 10 clarity the
situation. and should result IN the
enactment OF well considered and
Jvdicious Legislation within a rea-
sonable space OF time. Shipping
interests will hail with gladness re-
nnoval OF the uncertainty which has
handicapped the Ocean-carrying in
dustry ever since the armistice.
shipping Authorities Ciew
Shipping authorities. both govern
ment and private. seem 20 agree
pretty well upon these fundamental
principles: that private ownership is
more efficient and therefore prefer
able 10 government Ownership and
operation: that sale OF ships 10 pri-
vate owners should be gradual. In
volving long-term payments to re-
iieve the strain: that II may be wise
10 distribute the burden through the
issuance OF ship securities for sale
in the investing public: that ships
OF the new merchant marine should
be kept under American registry and
manned by American crews 80 far as
practicable; that every effort should
be made TO increase the fleets eff
ficiency and operate IT on a basis OF
strict economy In order that II may
compete with foreign carriers; that
rates and routes BE- ed from gov
eminent REGULATE except where
this seems necessary; and finally
that a national campaign be under
taken TO popularize the merchant
marine and acquaint the people with
maritime problems and conditions.
Wooden Ships Condemned.
Naval authorities emphasize the
importance OF a large and efficient
merchant marine I'm time OF war.
Wooden ships stand condemned by
a majority OF experts. who advise
that they be quickly sold or junked.
Sen. Jones has a plan for govern
ment ownership and operation OF the
feet over a period OF 80 years
through a giant corporation. He
believes that private ownership can
not absorb the feet at a reasonable
price. The plan has not found many
advocates however. outside of labor.

Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1920-02-04

the taxable property of the County
of Orleans, for obtaining funds for
carving on the business of the towns
constituting it, is represented by
Grand list of S153, 1902, this amount
being one one-hundreth of the appral-
sed value of all taxable property IN
the county in 1919, the date OF the
last uuadrennial apprisal, and tins
would be less than two-thirdS of the
actual value of all property, or In 9TH
er words the visible assets OF the
county total about S25 goo ,00U, and the
known liabilities, including all mort
gage Indebtedness is less than 10 per
cent of these assets. Another M
portant fact of this problem is the
marked increase in the value OF all
real and personal property IN the last
decade; it f35 more than doubled,
and it must be remembered that g
large prone ton of this property
stands in the list at the same figures
it did in 1910; the cases where it has
been advanced are the exception.
Toda he average selling price OF JIM
nrOvetl 5ari.1- - n CLEANS CC7lF,tv
is about $50 per acre; the same grade
is selling in Iowa at from 5000 to
1915 per acre. The healthy margin
this county would not indicate a nee
essity to spring the alarm of bank
ruptcy However; there is a fea-
ture of the case that needs immediate
attention and remedy. That is, while
the general overhead eXense of. oper-
ating the various departments of the
town, county and state have proba-
bly, doubled since 1910, the tax rate
has not increased proportionately it
has not kept pace with the advancing
cost, with the result that the indebted
ness of each unit or town, as a rule,
has been allowed to increase. This
should be corrected, and a go-without
policy adopted until such a time as
expansion can again be safely allowed.
Another omen of the healthy condi-
tions existing in the County of Or
leans is the strong position of its
banking institutions, which has been
found worthy of press comment over
the state. And here is another inn
portant entry for the credit side of
the ledger. In one town in the county
thirty years ago, about 80 per cent
of the real estate was mortgaged tO
its selling value; today only about
1912 per cent is carrying any mort
gage at all, and nearly every farm
| is carrying a bank balance. Orleans
must be released from the governors
charge, it is not of the improvident
many he chooses to indicate.

bull calf from the Vermont Expert
ment Station. He kept the youngster
for some time and fed him well. He
grew well with this good care, and
one day Neighbor Davis came along
and bought him to head his herd
which was then the lowest-produc-
ing herd In the Enosburg Cow Test
ing association.
Bulls of that type were not much
more plentiful in those DAYS than at
present, so today more than twenty
of his daughters can be found i'm six
different herds in the neighborhood.
Sixteen of these have made complete
yearly records in the Cow Test associ-
alton and their average annual pro-
duction is 6,51S pounds of milk and
1881 pounds of butterfat. Four of
the remaining daughters are on test
at present. When we consider that
these cows produced twice as much
butter as the average dairy cow. we
can realize the value of this animal
Inc dams of these cows were inferior
animals IN practically every case so
this uniformly high production is due
entirely to the prepotency of the bull
The unfortunate thing is that he
went to the block at seven years of
age. What a salvation he would have
been to many a farmer herd. His
value was known at five years of age
when his daughters had completed
their first years production. Why did
he go to the butcher when his worth
had been determined?
Young Susie led the Enosburg Cow
Testing association this year, which
has over 600 cows on record. Incl
