Our sympathes are naturally with

this compensation to aid them to get

Of usefulness they occupied before they

the debt the Nation owes the Veterans
Of the War has never been paid, and the

The Protective Tariff Law

The most important legislation con-
fronting Congress at the present time
is the new tariff bill recently intro
duced in the House OF Representatives
and known as the Fordney Tariff Bill

from the Democratic wing OF the popu-

expected to oppose any measure de-
signed by the Republicans on general
principles, but the wide diversity Of

Adjusted Compensation Postponed

We regret that the President OF the
United States prompted by the advice
Of mis- able student Of finance, the
Secretary OF the Treasury, has felt
obliged to ask for delay in the passage
of the Adjusted Compensation Bill for

serious condition Of the United States

We have the greatest respect for the
President and do not question his mo-

that the condition OF the Treasury is
the sole reason that caused the Presi-

A Dollar State Tax

1--WE are facing a dollar state tax in
Vermont" was the startling disclosure
made by Ex-Governor Allen M Fletch-
er in a recent speech at Essex June
ton. Although little has been heard
from the Ex-Governor during the pas,
few years it is very evident that he
still possesses a keen knowledge of the
affairs of the state; and incidentally he
told some PLAIN truths, startling and
unpleasant as they may be, that it
will be well for all Nermonters . give
heed to, and especially those who ev-
pect to assume the responsibility of
directing the destin.es of the state gov
eminent in the near future years
For a state with a population Of only
$4,000, to spend over sl0O0000000 in
two years reminds one of Brewsters
Millions, but it is a serious question in
the minds Of the plain, honest, hard
working people of Vermont who are in
terested to know where the fund, are
coming from to take care Of the con-
tinual increase Of expenditures in our
state government Upon a little re-
Election they are able to observe with
out the aid Of a new commission for
that purpose the huge increase in ex-
pendtures during the past twenty
years They have heard of the wonders
of the budget system and the great
economy that would result from a cen
trail board Of CONTROL but the fact re-
mains that the expenditures have dou-
bled in the past eight years and there
are no indications that the increase in
expenditures has reached the maxi
mum high water mark, but on the
contrary unless a serious campaign of
retrenchment is adopted by future law
makers, a direct tax of one dollar is
inevitable
This may appear to be a gloomy
prospect, but no one believes for
moment that the state is in danger Of
bankruptcy or anything Ike it, nor do
we believe that any well-founded eli
ticisms of malfeasance or extrava-
gance in Office can be made Of any Of
our state officials or departments, but
one thing is certain, we are spending
too much money for the size Of our
resources. and in many instances we
are not receiving sufficient 7a.ua fer
the amount expended. There viii soon
be a day Of reckoning and accounting,
and those responsible for this unwar-
ranted increase in the budget Will be
called to answer before the bar Of pub
lie opinion We must take ac0oun. Of
stock at once and adopt policy Of
retrenchment right away until such
time as some improved plans an De
worked out for a more economical form
of government for the state. Alto
gether too much Of the good Young
blood OF our state is going away to new
fields Of labor and no one is coming
to take their place. Future candidates
for gubernatorial and legislative hon
ors will do well to take notice.

bers Of the House, it will be some time
before the country viii enjoy the bene-
TITS Of sound protective tariff system
In eight short years, we would ord
narily say but some Of those years
seemed Ike ages in the history Of this
young nation, there evidently has been
great changes in the industrial and
commercial conditions Of certain parts
OF the country For th:, reason it has
been necessary to prepare a new tariff
measure to meet the economic needs
Of all section, Of the nation This viii
be almost impossible under the varying
conditions that exist.
Comparing the new proposed sched-
ule of duties with the so-called Under
wood law it appear, that he duties on
all important industrial and agricul-
tural commodities have been material
ly increased Some Of the more pro-
gres-ive members Of the Republican
Party in the House have announced
their determination to oppose what
they term excessive duties on the
ground that they VIII lead to exactions
by trusts and monopolies
New England ndustrie, that use oil
for fuel are making an organized at
tack, led by Governor Cox of Ma,,a-
chusetts, upon the provisions Of the
Fordney Bill which seeks to place
duty on crude and fuel oil The re-
representatives. of the New England in
dustries want oil placed on the free
list, and claim it viii be a serious in
jury to all New England states where
large quantities OF oil are consumed
for industrial purposes
Vermont is particularly interested in
the proposed schedule for granite, mar
bic, slate and lumber, and we under
stand that these industrial products are
well protected in the Fordney Bill.
The agriculturists of Vermont are
vitality interested in the proposed
schedule of duties for the products of
the soil and it is the consensus Of
opinion that the Fordney Bill before
it becomes a law will have to provide
for better protection Of farm commo-
dities than it did in the original meas
ure as proposed, although no serious
opposition has been raised to the
schedule of duties on agricultural pro-
ducts. The farmers Of the state will
do well to make immediate study Of
the proposed Fordney Bill, and in
struct their Congressional Delegation
upon their needs and wishes on this
most important legislation.
The protective tariff system will be
adopted after some prolonged delay,
of course, but after it has been placed
upon the Statute Books Of the United
States it will surely remain there, with
minor changes to meet new conditions
as they arise, for many years. And it
will be the part of wisdom for the citi-
zens of Vermont who are so greatly
dependent upon agricultural interests
to examine carefully the schedule Of
duties in the new proposed measure,
and see to it that sufficient protection
is provided for the standard articles
that have made Vermont famous

D|SCUSSESPLAN TO
CUT LONDON F0GS
Sir Napier Shaw Feels Claims
of Scientists Cannot
Be Proven.

LONDON. April 2S.-The morning
tost quotes an article in The Meteoro-
logical Magazine by Sir Napier Shaw,
the retired director of the Meteorolog-
ical office, discussing the theory of a
correspondent who observed that the
heat OF a football crowd dissipated
fog as the game proceeded. A sum-
mary OF the article says:
1t is not easy to get at the actual
core OF the question. there are so few
effective facts to go upon The late
Sir Norman Lockyer once saw during
thick Atlantic fog a stationary
steamship in a clear space, and he
attributed the fact to the warmth Of
the vessel, though his own, going
lead slow, was enveloped in the fog.
Sir Napier thinks 1t more likely that

| creators OF a clear space for all to
see them In.
1t Is within the bounds of physical
possibility to dissolve the fog OF a
United space by artificial heating. and
Col. Moore Brabazon has proposed IL
on a scale suitable for an aerodrom"'
! But air In the open Is very slippery
stun, and II has all sorts OF ways OF
evading control. The formation OF
fog is dependent upon the air being
in slow motion, say. two miles an
hour. This is important, because at
the end OF an hour the air we begun
to clear Is already two miles away,
and is being followed by a continuous
supply of fog The fog at TIE football
match was said to be nifty feet thlck'
but to produce any effect upon inns
the air would have to warmed to at
least double that height.
To dissipate the aerodrome fog the
temperature of foggy air must be In
creased say. s degrees Fahrenheit. A
cube of air ten yards each way weighs
a ton, and the air about an aerodrome
400 yards wide. with cross DRIFT OF
1000 yards an hour and an air thick :
ness of thirty yards, would represent
81, 900 tons of air an hour to be warm
ed. Were IL possible to get the heat
perfectly distributed without loss siN
tons of coal an hour might do the
heating part. But the $4,000 tons OF
air would contain sixty tons of water,
and to evaporate this would require
ELECTRICAL HEATING BETTER.
Distribution by electrical heating
would be much more manageable than
hot water pipes or flues, and this
would mean at least five times as
much fuel, say sixty tons an hour, for
clearing an airdrome space. This Is
on the assumption that the height CT
the fog is only fifty feet. The air
outside the airdrome goes on getting
colder and the fog getting thicker,
and we may have 10 reckon with 800
or 400 feet OF fog. so we must think
of 400 or 500 tons Of Goa an hour.
This is equivalent to 1900 tons
square mile. and the area of London
Is more than I'D square miles. so that
nearly 100000 tons of coal an holr
would be required to clear the metro
politan atmospheric
Sir Napier Shaw adds: Having
made the calculation, let me say that
IL 1t were possible to operate in this
way l think we should have found
more evidence for ii than has hitherto
come to light. A football crowd would
be,a very good way of trying the ex-
pertinent. Arrange for a 10000 crowd
to surround a football field on the
occasion OF the next fog: there are al
ways $4,000 people who have an hour
or two to spare for an easy job OF
that kind Has anybody ever known

ROBERT MANTELL Seen
IN ROLE OF HAMLET

Mr.. Manteli continued his dramatic
cycle last evening at the New Ma
tional Theater with Hamlet as the
second Offering. This old story Of
the bereaved Prince of Denmark was
presented to the satisfaction Of a
eoodH audience which evinced its
appreciation at the close of each Of
the telling episodes.
Mr.. Mantell handled the role with
unusual skill. raising his auditors
to applause in the dramatically pro-
found passages. This was especially
true of the ghost scene at the close
of the first act, in his colloquies
with Horatio and at the reconcilia-
ton with his mother in act teur.
The soliloquy was read into play
with great dignity and grace by Mr..
Mantell.
The OpheIia of Miss Hamper was
appealingly sweet. she. invests this
sad role with quiet submission and
essence of soul and places her por-
trayal of Ophelia in the first rank.
Mr.. Buckler again scored as Po-
lonius. This Characterization neces-
states more commanding force and

these added requirements with ar
tstry and effect.
Mr.. Alexander was an Interesting
and buoyant Laertes. His emotions
at the madness and death of Ophelia
were splendidly expressed ana his
work in the duel scene was impress
sive.
Mr.. Podmore as the garrulous First
Grave Digger deserves particular
commentator. His humorous sketches
are of very high order. Mr.. L;nds-
Hamlet. Is sincere and satisfactory.

sensations OF these roles met with
much favor on the part of the audi

dignified and convincing manner.

Miss Mario, coloratura soprano
brings a deeper note into this music
rejecting in her pure tone and deli
cate sweetness of voice an emotional
quality that makes her Mimi ap-
pealingly human.
"Boheme" requires unusual strength
from the cast of men'1 voices. The
quartet OF students is unique in
opera and they were dramatically
and vocally effective. The baritones
claimed first attention with Montan-
ELL and Manuel Perez excellent in the
roles OF Marcel and Shaunard. Piiade
