High taxes" is the wall through
out the land. Everywhere one hears
the complaint. It is not peculiar to
Craftsbury, Bellows Falls, Goshen,
Newport or Barton. 1t is like the
high cost of living in the past, uni
yersal A Bellows Falls taxpayer be-
walls the high tax there, but it is
not as high as that in Goshen, and in
Goshen it is not as high as in some
other place, and in that place it is
not as high as somewhere else, and
che rate does not tell the story. For
example resident of a city in New
York state recently told the writer
that the new tax rate in his city was
not raised BUT the valuation of his
property in that place had been dou-
BLEED, and the average valuation III
the city nearly one-third. He says
they cannot stand the pressure. If it
were really true that it costs consider
ably more to live in one place than in
another, and wages were not higher
there, or something else cheaper, then
all the people and all business would
be in one place. But the fact remains,
when all considerations are studied,
shat the tax RATE is mighty slim
indication of high taxes or low High
taxes may be paid where the rate is
low and low taxes paid where the
rate IS high. All of which points to
the need of some equalization method
of taxation. Is Vermont getting any
where in solving the problem?

Questions of Credit and Business

"When we hear of man cutting
down on his advertising" said a wise
bank president, 1--WE cut down on his
credit"
And that's only the beginning. We
all know what the public does to the
man who stops in his appeal to the
people at large. 1t begins to forget
him. We all know from thousands
and thousands Of examples the coun-
ular advertisement of brand, or an
article or a merchant is only reduced
in size as continuous policy; the
public seems to feel that something
has gone out of the person or thing
advertised and they begin to shun it

There are not going to be hard
times in 1921. Even now the times
are not hard; they only appear so to
some people in contrast with the ex-
travagance and imitation of the pre-
vious three, four and five years. But

RUTLAND NEWS EMITS

Emery has demonstrated conclu-
siveIy that his sense of fair play is
comparable to that of the average
Russian wolf hound. Early in the
yubernatorial campaign he allowed
lis satellite, Editor Saulpin of the
Barton Monitor. to print absolute
faIsehoods about The Rutland News.
-rn1al6e1, proof has been offered to the
Iaye Colonel and Saulpin neither
oue had sufficient sense of fair play
To make proper amends.
Emery ran his gubernatorial cam
ssafg-n in a nasty, mud-slinglng man.

and accurate st. Adams Messenger is
cgrrect, simply out of spirit OF ex-
eessiye meanness, he has done his ut

Rutland Evening News
The above boisterous bit of blus-
ter is as uncouth an JUNCTION OF un-
truth as seldom emits from the empti-
ness of an egotist. 1t may be that
newspapers are satellites down around
Rutland; it's habit one has Of judg-
ing others by their own standards.
PAPERS in northeastern Vermont do
not take dictation. The satellite and
parasite newspaper are unknown breeds
hereabouts. AS for" Editor Saulpin, I'VE
have never heard Of him. When the
contemporary talks about correctness
bet that journal look 70 it's own state
ments. And finally the misstatement
made by this paper regarding the pur-
chase of the Rutland News was cor
rected in the very next issue and a
letter on file from Candidate Bao-
bitt pronounces the correction salts
factory.
The above upheaval is plainly a
vail of distress from Nephew Donald
Rabbit, owner of the Rutland News,
resulting from the fact that Uncl
Fred Rabbit ran last in the field of
four candidates for governor. We
should say it would be much safer for
Frederick H. Rabbit and Donald G.
Rabbit in future political campaigns,
If Emery and his followers (who ar
legion because they believe in him
both before and after the campaign)
were Gagged. It's much better to be
Gagged than to be relegated to the
scrap heap, where some "also ram
candidates find themselves.
The metaphoric analogy between
the Russian wolf hound and the Gag
ed bird is as cunning as cupid. The
relationship is as close as that be-
tween Emery and this paper and as
far apart as the Rutland paper is
from fathoming the truth about the
situation.

How to Use Old Auto Cushions.

Cushions that helped make your car
an easy-riding one ih its day should
not be junked when the car is given
up as lost by automobile doctors. Keep
them; if necessary, recover them, then
place them in front Of an open fire
place.
If you wish to toast marshmallows
or roast popcorn, you will have an ex-
cellent seat By resting your elbows
on your knees you keep your arms
from growing tired while the roasting
