Sim pliaed Tax Returns

Heretofore all income tax payers

DON'T LET'S LOOK "sEEDY"

We are hearing a great deal about
the need of economy by the next legis-
lature, and much criticism because the
State has built barn in one place and
appropriated funds to aid various
State activities and industries. We
are told that a State tax Of dollar
is inevitable unless we pare expenses
to the core, but We have yet to hear Of
any proposed economy which really
would make much difference in our
State tax. A State tax Of ten cents
would pay for this alleged extrava-
gance TO the extent Of S250,000-and
all the economies we have heard pro-
posed do not amount to that sum.
Where, then, are we TO scve the other
ninety cents Of the threatened dollar
tax?
II is even proposed that our town
meetings instruct our representatives
to be economical and limit them to the
amount Of appropriations they may
vote for Il is certainly an original
idea that our town meeting pass
judgment on the needs Of the State,
in this blanket form without the
knowledge and information which
representative is sent to Montpelier to
acquire and act upon. II We take
heed, and send men noted for wisdom
and virtue. e Is better 20 let them act
upon their own good judgment The
fact Of the matter IS that no man goes
TO the legislature with a view to vot-
ing money 10 be wasted. Probably
without exception, they 20 10 Mont
pelier with economical views and res
olutions, but once there with lot Of
other enthusiastic Vermonters, they
begin 70 think on broader lines and see
that the State needs many things.
They learn how much good this Or
that appropriation will do the State.
They may make some mistakes but, on
the whole, they probably size Up the
needs Of the State better than their
critics. What our legislators need Is
not oonstraining Instructions but more
freedom. Vermont cannot afford 20 be
without good schools and good roads
and We think she can afford even a few .

CLEMENT II. CONE DIES
IN BENNINGTON
Former Manchester Man Dies at Age
of 81 at His Bennington Home

of 81 at His Bennington Home
Bennington, Jan. 13-Clement H.
Cone, for may years one Of the we'll
known citizens Of Bennington, died
this forenoon at 1920 at his home on
Grandview street He had been grad
ually failing for some days and his
death was not unexpected.
For nearly 20 years Mr. Cone had
been a partial invalid. He developed
symptoms Of tuberculosis but by care
and treatment kept the disease in sub
lection and, except for few severe
sick spells had been up and around un-
til within few weeks. He knew that
his days were numbered but was
cheerful to the end.
Nearly ten years ago he gave up his
position as cashier of the Bennington
County National Bank and had lived
quietly. travelling somewhat when he
was able and always taking a keen in
terest in public affairs Of all kinds.
He wac in the Gath year Of his age.
Clement H. Cone, the only son Of the
late Dea. and Mrs. Samuel G. Cone,
was born in Manchester, where his
rly years were spent. He started in
business at the general store Of Bur
ton e. Co. at Manchester Center and
came to Bennington about 35 years
years ago.
He married Miss Frances Hawks,
daughter Of the late William f.
Hawks. She died about a dozen years
ago. He is survived by one son, Will
liam Hawks Cone, and two sisters,
Mrs. Sinclair Scott Burkham Of New
York, and Miss Mary 6. Cone Of Ben
Mr.. Cone was highly esteemed by a
wide circle Of friends He was a mem
Der Of the Second Congregational
church. Of the Bennington Club and Of
the Sons Of the American Revolution. .
When his health permitted, he was ac-
tive in all organizations with which he .
was connected and public spirited IN
every good work. All during his
macy years Of illness be maintained a
cheerful outlook and kindly spirit.

"Short sighted Financial Policies Now
Provide Long Stretches Of Modern
Highway"
Speaking Of tax on gasoline now
favored by the Bennington Banner and
suggested by The Journal some time
ago, il is interesting 70 note that Ore
gon has undertaken 70 build her State
roads with funds collected from license
fees for auto vehicles and a tax on
gasoline They do not propose TO do
this by the on-progressive, pay-as-
you go make-shift plan, but will use
the income from these sources TO re-
tire bond issue for building perman-
ent roads.
Oregon has done what Vermont
should do. They have made definite
plans for a highway system and 1t is
estimated that the income from Ii
cense fees and the gasoline tax will be
sufficient 10 retire a bond issue to
complete a State system Of 1850 miles
and supply in addition large sums for
maintenance.
Vermont may learn way to solve
its highway problem il il will but take
a few lessons from States which have
made real progress in highway plan
ming and financing.
In Ohio, they have compiled some
figures showing the influence Of inn
proved highways upon agriculture,
and the figures published show that
farm growth-that is the increase in
soil productions along the improved
in Ohio has increased 1s6
per cent in the past five years. The
Vermont farmers should be in the
front ranks OF good road enthusiasts,
and we predict that they will be when
sc get some action by a legislature
which will provide for a definite State
vide highway system and a business
Ike way of paying for some real per
nanent roads.
