Less Tax and Deficit

Following the action of the voters
Mayor Edward Curtis Smith warns
the taxpayers of st. Adams that
unless they authorize an increased
tax, which was refused at the recent
city meeting, the city faces a deficit
of Sal, 615.
In a statement published by the
Messenger, the situation is stated as
follows:
Declaring that until the city de-
cides upon it's policy of providing for
the deficit in the operation of the
for the council to adopt but to sus-
pend the expenditure of every penny
and to conserve the resources of the
city to the limit the members of the
city government today gave out a
statement on the financial condition
of the municipality. AS regards an
extra tax the statement sets forth
that it is essential, not only to carry
out the provisions of the plan (ten-
year plan), but unless it is raised
there will be a deficit of SAL $3.50
In the operating expenses of the city
for the current year."
The Herald particularly agrees
with the mayors conclusion that
under the circumstances there is no.
thing to do but to stop spending
money until the city votes more. It
is a pity that similar policy had not
been adopted long ago by our repre-
sentatives in Montpelier.
The city government of st. Albans.
fortunately, is headed by business
man, accustomed to do business on
the plan of getting your money be-
fore you spend it; the state of Yer
mont, on the other hand, is run on the
plan OF picking out what things our
representatives think we need. then
looking around for something to tax.
1t is embarrassing, naturally. for
the voters to "balk up" on increasing
the city tax, but it is a fact. of
course, that there is a very decided
protest against the present high scale
OF taxes, local, state and national.
What the people want is not more
tax, but less.
II we can believe our state officers,
the state is also headed for a deficit
yet our only candidate for governor
SO far, makes tax on gasoline a fea-
ture of his platform. In other
words, while he favors economy in
one respect he favors an increased
tax on automobile owners.
The Herald does not believe in in
creasing taxes of any class at this
time; it believes in reducing taxes.
and it is confirmed in this position
by the testimony of thousands of tax
payers who so declared themselves
at town meeting and the number who
have enrolled themselves into Econ
omy Clubs" without perhaps realiz-
ing that they were committing them
selves thereby to a gasoline tax.
We have had enough of this bust
ness OF attempting to shift the bur
len OF taxation from one shoulder to
another. What the state and coun- |
try needs is a taste of the economy
that has been forced on the private |
lndividual-a horizontal cut in ex-
oenses, not an increase in taxes.
The Herald would like to see a |
state platform for real economy with !
1ut any saving clause whereby a re-
iuctlon OF the state tax could be off
set by a tax on some particular
lass. such as the owners of auto
mobiles. They are paying their full
share of road upkeep now, to saw
nothing about other taxes.-Rutland

Stowe Inn Sold

Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Burt of Bur-

Mass, who took possession April 1.
Mr. and Mrs. E. w. Webster, who
have conducted the hotel for the past
two and one-half years, are planning
to return to their home at Waterbury
Center. Mr.. and Mrs. Webster have
made a remarkable success of the
Green Mountain Inn since they have
managed it for a syndicate of bust
ness men, who hired them to reopen
and run the Inn some three years
ago. The new proprietors come
highly recommended and everyone
