Women Voters

Tho Rutland Herald holds to the in.
tercsting belief that Vermont women
as voters are and will be complete
iconoclasts. They will have little or no
regard for the traditions of the past
The mountain ri e and other bits OF
poit cal arrangement the long out
growth Of experience and accommoda-
ton, will be nothing to them even If
they know about them.
This may be so; time will tell, but
as for The Messenger, this paper does
not believe that the women voters of
Vermont will transform themselves
into Carrie Nations with the inten-
ton of using the vote as a Ratchet to
cut down the growth of past years.
Through thoir influence and the chang
ins opinion of men, one as much as the
other some of the old traditions will
pass away and new ones will he in the
forming, themselves to be displaced
eventually
In other words, there will be evolu.
ton The women will not start in on a
conscious revolution. and even though
in the past they have not been active
participants in politics they have not
remained in ignorance Of affairs or
conditions. The Messenger is also in
clined to think that the women will
not be overcome by the direct appeal
to them of the clever opportunist in
the field of politics, who will seek his
end by attempting to puff them up on
their own importance in affairs pc.

Also The Messenger considers il m.
wise to attempt to foster or maintain
a sexconsciousnesS in politics. IL is
better that we oil he citizens of the
state and nation than male and fe-
male voters. Trousers and petticoats
give away to full citizenship, a comm

male against the male voters, or vice

PATERNALISM SCORED
BY CONGRESSMAN DALE
Has Become One Of the Great Bur
dens Being Carried by Tax
payers in America.

Congressman Porter H. Dale was
in Burlington Friday to attend to
some matters which had been pre-.
scented to him by the American Leg
ion.
When interviewed at the Van Ness
hotel by News reporter, Mr.. Dale
spoke Of the present system of patcr-
nalism, adopted by the government as
ono OF the big burdens which was now
being borne by The taxpayer Mr.
Dale expressed himself most emphati-
cally as being opposed to the method
OF financing the cotton growers Of the
South so that they could hold their
cotton FOR eXorbitant prices at the ex.
pensc Of the norOern tax payer.
Corporation is Powerful Trust
The extension Of the War Finance
Corporation to activities after the war
was deplored by Mr. Daie. In his
opinion the cattle raisers Of the West
or the cotton growers OF the South
were not entitled to be financed at the
expense of the government To-day
the United States is the sole stock
/ holder in the War Finance Corporation
which Gas capital Of 100000
/ 600 and is authorized to issue $4,000.
! GOO ,000 IN bonds. This is being used
I to boost prices To the New Englander
who must also pay taxes to support
the corporation, The result of this
financing on the part OF the govern.
ment is that the cotton producers
have been able to build up one Of the
most powerful trusts in the country
at the expense of the government.
Bad Feature Pointed Out
Another feature of the War Finance
Corporation is that in issuing It's
bonds it is going into direct competi.
ton with the Liberty bonds. The
corporations bonds pay five and one.
half per cent and are tax exempt. A
capitalist may hold million dollars
worth without paying one cent of
taxes which the farmer with $l0,00o
ml ested must help delray the govern.
ment expense. This is one reason
that Liberty bonds are selling below

crtlclses Farm Loan System.
He took the same stand ON the Fed.
oral Farm Loan system W1ile
northern farmer might apparently re.
ceive a little benefit from it when he
borrowed money at price slightly
less than that offered by the bank, he
more than made up Tor It in the higher
prices which he paid for goods raised
in the West and South and in his in.
Fcroascd taxes.
In speaking of the business stua.
ton, Mr. Dale said that President
Harding, the Federal Reserve. board
and heads of financial departments
were all of the opinion that business
had been to the bottom and was com
ing back He himself, had no posi-.
tive opinion on the subject.
When it came to taxation, Mr. Dale
said that relief was promised and that

not come. lie was not in a position
