Hon. Horace F. Graham presid-
ed and the speaker of the occasion

by a brief history of the days in
Vermont preceding the Civil war,
the calling of the special session
of the Vermont Legislature by
Gov. Erastus Fairbanks and the
stirring events of that short ses-

vice, applying them to the daily
life of everyone today.

Craftsbury who made the supreme
sacrifice will soon be erected and
dedicated on Friday, August 16,

TAx-ExEMPT SECURITIES

Tax-eXempt securities are compet ing so heavily with industrial, rail road and public utility securities that it is necessary for those who operate private business to pay eXhorbitaht rates of interest ill order to secure capital The drain is so heavy that it has stopped development in many lines Until the federal constitution is amended to place all new, issues of securities on a parity so far as the taxability of income is concerned. the ta&-exempt securities will con- tinue to get the money And the tax payer who is not fortunate enough to be exempt must pay all the tax bills, including interest and bond principal, besides having been denied the use of capital he needs for hls own business. Truly we are work ing for the bond owner, who no longer needs to toll or spin. for he escapes taxation and we must pay all the costs of government and pay him besides.-The Oregon Voter.

MUST RECOGNIZE coNDITIoNs

There have probably been more arguments for and against the tariff question than on any other public issue except taxation. Regardless of our personal opinion. certain facts confront various industries of this country which, while paying Ameri= can wages under American working and living conditions, must meet foreign competition.
 No wise man would suggest clos ing our doors to foreign competitors for the simple reason that we must sell certain of cur products in the foreign market.
 On the other hand, we must re- cognize the fact that certain com modities manufactured under foreign wage and working conditions may be landed on our shores at price with which no American manufacturer can compete. Sugar and paper are typi- cal western industries that can be wiped out of existence through lack of protection.
 American wages and working con ditions cannot be retained on a fore ign commodity price basis. Think it over.

THE TROUBLE WITH THE TOWN

Sometimes we hear people ask, Whats the matter with the town?' They may ask the question as to their own town, or as to some other town ,..
 The answer is that there is nothing the matter with the town. If there is anything the matter, it is with the people who live in the town, for the town is made up of the people who live in the town.
 If it is a good town, it is because it is made up of good people If it is dead town, or a wicked town, it is because it is made up of non-progres- sive people or wicked people.
 Keep this idea in mind, and you will more quickly locate the trouble, if there is one.

PRESBYTERIAN NOTES
 The union meeting of the school and church service last Sunday morn ing that opened the week of Nation al Song in the high school auditorium in Morenci was a decided success from every point of view
 The songs and music of the choir quartett and congregation were all very inspiring. A violin solo also was beautiful part of the hour.
 Rev. Thomas gave a twenty minute address on the inspirations of music and song.
 People so admired the service that several asked if it would be possible to have two or three such gather ings during the week.
 The evangelist Rev. Bowden began a series of services in the presbyter1- an church under the auspices of the M. F. church there and with the other churches cooperating.
 Last Sunday was a day to be re- membered in the history of the Cliff ton church. Thirteen young people united with the church on profession of faith,-practically the entire group of young folks who have been conducting the c. E. for the last few months. Two were also received by letter making the total number re- ceived 15. We appreciate the infiu- ence of the revival services in initi- ating this movement or influencing the decision which all of the various services and influences of the past have been preparing them for.
 It is a very fine thing to have these coming in at this time so that they may take the places of other workers who have been Or will soon be re moved from our number.
 Lawrence Cooper. Edward Wag- staff and Roderick MacLeay are planning on attending the Christian Endeavor Convention to be held the last of this week at Phoenix. and we expect fine inspirations to come back to us through them.

BREAD AND BUTTER PROBLEM
 FOR ALL

Taxes, labor and cost of material are the three things which will in- crease or decrease gold production The price of gold is stationary and cannot be raised to meet changing cost of mining, hence gold output will increase only as production costs drop.
 Silver price fiuctuates as other metals but at the present time the Pittman Act is saving American miners from ruinous losses.
 Copper, lead and zinc, however, de- pend on industrial activities for their consumption. Production costs play a vital part in placing these metals on the market at a price which en- courages their use.
 Labor is taking it's cut and materi- al and transportation costs are drop ping. Taxes are a drain on the re-

 Every westerner should back cam paigns for tax reduction to more normal levels, as well as all produc- tion costs of mining and other basic western industries
 Large mining properties are slow ly-reopening and their future opera tion and employment of labor will depend on their ability to market the production at a profit
