Vermont Inventors.
bennington Banner.)

Some weeks ago The Banner commented
on the fact that the electric motor and
electric car were invented by a Nermonter,
Thomas Davenport of Brandon. 1t has
now tranSpired that the first electric To-
connective was also invented by a native of
this state. The house organ of the Gen
eral Electric company at Schenectady tells
its following interesting story.
Contrary to opinion that has prevailed
for many years, the first electric locomO-
tive was not built in Germany but in
America. A manufacturing concern IN
Berlin has long laid claim to this honor
claiming to have perfected the first engine
of this type in 1879. but on investigation
it was found that in 1ST Prof. Moses c.
Farmer Of Vermont built and operated an
, electric locomotive. This original engine
is now in possession of the Smithsonian
institute ut Washington, ID. G..
1t is an odd looking contrivance about
three by five by ten feet, driven by motor
built crudely on the principle of the mo
tor Of today \ wheel to which magnets
were attached was mounted on a frame
above the floor of the locomotive, and
these magnets were attracted on their
downward course by three-coH field
fixed on the floor Of the machine directly
in the course of the wheel. As each mag
net on the wheel passed the ends of the
coils it was repealed upward on the next
quarter of its revolution and so on. The
shaft of this wheel was geared to the
wheels of the locomotive. Thus the mag
net wheel corresponded to the armature OF
the modern motor and the fixed coils on
the floor formed the field.
Electric current was supplied by bat
teries which were first carried in Il box
on the locomotive. Later, these primary
cells were grouped in a power plant
beside the track so that current was trans
mitted to the locomotive through the rails
of transmitting electric power from a cen
trail source to a travelling apparatus which
is now one of the fundamental principles
of electric railway operation. The loco
motive developed enough power to move
itself, with a fOur-pasSenger car attached
and actually carried passengers. The III
ventor took it to Dover, y. H., and eXhib
| tied it there and also at Springfield
! Mass. Three years later, in a more de
veloped state, it attracted much interest
| in Boston. ~
Twelve years before Professor Farmer
| devised this machine Thomas Davenport
blacksmith of Brandon, VT, had in
stalled an electric battery on a tiny cal
and ran this car about a small circular
track in his home But this was as
far as he went.
| Professor Farmers first use of his elec
| tric locomotive was to run it around the
edge of a lecture, to illustrate a tall
which he gave. a larger model was oper

TAX REDUCTIONS.

Any federal tax reduction, or any de
cisiOn against putting through a tax in
crease. is sure to be greeted with cheers,
recently by the house ways and means
committee meet with general approval.
1t is good news that postage is not to
be raised. that a new tax is not to be i'm
posed on automobiles, that the luxury
tax" on clothing and certain other things
is to be repealed, that the income exemp-
lions of heads of families are to be raised
to $400 for each dependent.
Higher postage would have been no
great burden to the average citizen, but
it would have been annoying to every
body and a real hardship to many bust
ness concerns that will pay quite enough
federal taxes without it. 4 Automobiles
are already taxed three times-Once by
the government, in the manufacturer
hands. once as personal property, on the
local tax duplicate, and once more in the
state license fee. In every case the
owner pays. Most of the so-called lux
uries taxed by the present law are not
luxuries at all, but necessaries.
The proposed income exemption raise
is probably the most commendable of all
these proposals. If there is to be any
exemption of dependents-and every
sound economist believes in the principle
"a mere exemption of 5000 apiece is
absurd. The average expense of bring
ing up q child or maintaining an adult
Independent is certainly more than $500
year, in income-tax- paying families
But it should be observed that the rca
allowance is not even 5000, but only
what the tax would have been on that
sum. The normal income tax rate is
per cent, so that the actual benefit or re
bate allowed for each dependent is IS {
year. a jump to SIG a year helps a lit
tie.

Admiral Sir David Beatty, who is to
be one of the most distinguished guests
at the American Legion convention in
Kansas City this fall, is famous naval
commander who now holds the post of
first sea lord of the British admiralty.
In the World war he commanded the
British fleets which in August, 1914,
sank four German warships off Heligo-
land and won a victory over a German
squadron in the North sea the follow
ing January. His career in the navy
has been marvellous, considering the fact
that he is now but 80 years old. He
was successfully the youngest com
mander, the youngest captain. the
youngest rear admiral, and the young
est vice admiral in the service. He was
a rear admiral at IS. or one year young
err than was the famous Nelson when he
reached that rank. The wife of Admiral
Beatty was Edith Field, a daughter OF
Marshall Field of Chicago.

ated out of doors, but it was years before
electric traction became commercially
successful The battery of that day was
too expensive and too fragile to be used
to any great extent The electric genera
tor did not come until years later and
with it was the first decisive step toward
the achievements electric traction has
now made.
Thomas \. Edison built a small road
near his laboratory at Menlo Park in
1879 on which crude electric car was
operated. Four years later he and Ste
phen u. Field devised an electric locOmO-
tive which ran on a circular track at the
Chicago and Louisville exposition.
Frank ]. Sprague became interested and,
in 1888, succeeded in operating a short
line at Richmond. Va. From that time
on, some of the country's foremost engi-
neerS and scientists, many of whom are
General Electric men, have been laboring
long and patiently to lay the foundations
for the place which modern electric trac-
tion occupies in the life of the nation to-
day.
According to figures compiled by the
American Railway association. there are
approximately 10000 electrically pro
PEELED passenger cars in the United States
and they carry 100000 900 passengers
About $4,000, 100000 is invested in these
lines, which have a trackage of A .00G
miles and approximately 100000 persons
are employed.

COST OF RHINE TROOPS.

4 well known editorial writer, calling
attention to the governments need of
economy to make both ends meet, asks:
Gould any economy be simpler, easier,
more rational, than bringing American
troops back from Europe? What good
are they doing? Germany and France
both would like to have them stay, per
haps, but that doesn't interest the Amer
lean tax payer. He would like to have
them come home and stop spending his
money"
This particular criticism seems to be
good example of chronic Rhinitis.
There may be sound reasons, political
or sentimental. for bringing those troop
home, but economy is hardly one OF
them.
There are now only a few thousand
American soldiers on the Rhine. 1t was
stated on the floor of the senate the other
lay that they are costing about $1,000
| 900 a month. 4 recent war department
statement put it at S15,O0O,O00 a year
That is not much, in itself. But the i'm
| oortant point is that the United States
| doesn't pay it-Germany does.
Thus the maintenance of these troop:
IN the Rhine costs the United States
| nothing. whereas if they were brought
| home the United States would have 4
| support them.
1t may be objected that Germany has
not paid our government anything ye
for such maintenance. But there needn'
be any difficulty about that. All the
government has to do is to take it GU
f the several hundred millions of Ger
nan property seized here during the war
which is still held pending settlement.
