WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 2S.-The
claim of the Anti-Saloon league thai
| if England should adopt national pro-
hibition she could promptly pay off hel
foreign debts was bitterly ridiculed to-
day by G. c. Hinchley national secre-
/ tary of the Association Against the

any great saving was made by to
British public through checking te

in this country for payment OF taxes

of thousands of jury trials for prohi-
bition violators, etc.

Saloon league in deploring the attitude
of English visitors in ridiculing our

Awfully early to start such move,

Mr. weeks is a very apie man, has

Gambling at Fairs Must Go
{Barre TimeS)

DeterminatiO ton of the Vermont state
fair commission to exercise the great
est care that games of chance shall
be eliminated from the state fair
grounds during the progress of the
state fair will meet with hearty COM
mendation from most of the people
of the state, and the efforts will no
doubt receive cooperation from the
public in general. Within recent
years the god of chance has found
it's way more and more into the fea-
lures of agricultural fairs in Yer
mont and elsewhere until at the pres
ent time the gambling devices have
become a menace to the good name
and the good will of the fairs them
selves. A good many people patron
ize these games thoughtlessly, little
realizing at the time that the presence
of these devices and their open opera
ton lower the tone and benefits of the
fair itself. In fact, the inroads of
the gambling element have already
been greatly detrimental to the best
interests of the fairs, causing large
number of people to stay away and
contributing other unsatisfactory con-
ditions No doubt the state fair COM
mission appreciated the increasing
influence for evil by the gambling in
roads, as we'll as recognizing the bad
features of games of chance in and of
themselves Hence the determine
ton to eliminate gambling. Let's
back up the state fair commission.

Tax Investigation.
(St. Adams Messenger)

One does not have to travel up and
down Vermont very long to realize
that there is general and widespread
feeling that the scheme of taxation
in the state is not what it ought to
be. The truth is, the general proper
ty tax by itself is antiquated, being
adaptable to conditions years and
years ago, but business and gainful
occupation have so multiplied and
have become so complex, that the
general property tax no longer fits
conditions. It is because it doesn't
fit that the complaint arises. And
yet, the matter is not so easily cor
rected as one might think. 1t ought
to be corrected but it cannot all be
done in a hurry. The incoming leg
islature could not hope to tackle the
whole subject with any hope of sue
cess. But the legislature can make
one constructive act. It can empower
the governor to appoint a committee
to study the matter and report it's
finding to the 1923 general assembly.
This would not entail much expense.
The right kind of committee would
serve without pay. The Messenger
hopes such action will be taken.

newspapers claimed was his program
as our chief executive, he will be
made governor again two years hence.
The Burlington Free Press says this
papers suggestion as to this posi-
bility need not be taken seriously.
Our mention of HARNESS. name in
connection with the governorship en-
tirely hinged upon his putting his
campaign program "over" and this at
titude of the Burlington contempor-
ary must show lack of faith in it's
man. The st. Adams Messenger,
another Hardness paper of the first
water, reprints our editorial note and
heads it off," also indicating that
faith in their man after the election
is hardly the faith it had in him be-
fore the votes were cast. Or is the
attitude assumed by both these con-
temporaries that of being afraid
some west side favorite will be de-
prived of "his turn" by an east slider?
This paper repeats what it said two
weeks ago: eff Governor Hardness
brings into being one-half of his pre-
election program of industrial devel-
opment, or gives any promise of hav-
ing a plan that will bring such de-
into being by the time his
term of office expires, the west side
hardly need to groom any candidates.
The mountain rule will be smashed
and Mr.. Hardness kept in Office" The
people will demand his return to Of
fee. On the other hand if he does
not produce the goods" he claimed to
have, then no one need think about
Mr.. HARNESS. future. It will have
been Cooked" politically. A man
who held out such a program as he
did and spent the money he did to
get an Office and then don't make good
will be retired with a fnality. But
to repeat, eff" Gov. Hartness makes
good with his program the people
will demand him as their servant in
the future. ALI Governor Hardness
has to do is to do what he led the
people to believe he could do.
