''Take Care of a Library Book"

The Springfield (Mass.) Library
association sends out the following
which applies equally well wherever
library books are circulated:
How many people who use the
library know that books have nearly
doubled in price and that this increas-
ed cost seriously limits the number
the library can buy? AS the price
goes up, the quality deteriorates; pa
per is poorer and bindings are weak
err.
The amount of service volume
will give depends largely on the care
it receives. A book that is carefully
handled returns to the library in
good condition for the next reader.
A book that is dropped or soiled or
has it's back broken by careless hand
ing is ready for the bindery, and so
will not be available again for several
weeks. Often books so treated must
be thrown away and new copies
bought.
If readers will use especial care in
handling books. they will help them
selves and the other fellow-them-
selves because the library will have
more money to buy new books for
them to read, and the other fellow be-
cause the book will reach him in bet
ter condition.

A Dangerous Tendency.
(Enosburg Standard)

One of the unfortunate results of a
very serious and disturbing charac-
ter, that is making it's appearance in
various towns in Vermont from our
archaic and unscientifc system of
taxation and differentiation of prop
erty, is the floating of bonds to take
care of deficits in connection with
current expenses.
Heretofore the issuing of bonds by
Vermont cities, villages and towns
has been for some specific object, to
provide water supply, a lighting
system or kindred public utility, and
careful provision has been made by
setting aside earnings or establishing
a sinking fund for retiring the bonds
at maturity. This has been perfect
ly legitimate and proper and recog
nized as sound in theory and in prac-
tice and much good has come to COM
.munities that have established such
projects by the issue of bonds.
But now we find towns and cities,
unable to meet current expenses. be-
cause of inadequate income from the
annual tax levy, meeting the accum-
ulated deficit by the issue of bonds,
venture into frenzied financing that
is fundamentally and economically
UIlSOuuu clIIQ LI1CL 10 OOuIIu W pIONG
as disastrous to a municipality as it
would if practiced by an individual or
an industrial concern. 1t leads in
evitably to reputation or bankruptcy.
Several smaller Vermont towns
have already foated or are proposing
to float bonds to take care of deficits,
the accumulation of unpaid current
bills and in at least one Vermont city
the same proposition is seriously con-
sidered to carry on the ordinary ex-
penses of municipal GOV eminent.
The average tax rate throughout
Vermont is said to be high. This is
no doubt true, but one of the great
reasons, probably the chief reason, is
that property valuation is ridiculous
ly low.
The way we are drifting in Yer
mont, unless we adopt more scien-
tihc system and method, it will be
necessary to protect the towns from
themselves by drastic legislation that
will check this dangerous tendency
toward wildcat municipal financing.

The entry of Redfield Proctor into
the campaign for gubernatorial NOM
nation will soon bring other candi-
dates out if there are to be others, and
the seasons campaign will be on to a
finish. 1t has been rumored that ex-
Governor Fletcher would enter the
field if Proctor did, but Guy Bailey
announces he will not run and the
probability is that Frank Howe of
Bennington will not run. Should
Fletcher enter the field it will al
most assuredly throw the nomination
to Foote, unless another agricultural
candidate should enter the field which
now seems improbable and some have
it that this is the very reason why
Fletcher will go into the race-to de-
feat Proctor. However this may be

Redfield Proctor announces his can
didacy for the Republican nominal
ton for governor in the following an
nouncement made Saturday.
81 desire to announce my candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
governor at the primary election next
September, to state my position on
certain matters.
81 believe that, in recent years, the
national government has taken upon
itself duties which belong to the
states and the states have taken over
duties which belong to the towns. In
these ways the work of government
has become less of the people, tend
ing to pass out of the direct control
of those who pay for it, and the cost
has increased rapidly and alarming
ly. This increase should be stopped
and expenses reduced, not arbitrarily,
however, but wisely, with due regard
and prosperity.
81 believe that some state activities
can be consolidated, thereby reducing
expenses without serious loss IN ef-
ficiency, and / favor such reductions
of state taxes as may be consistent
with efficient government and the
needs of the people. !.

Freshets Do Big Damage in Vermont.

The rains of last week and melting
snow in the uplands set Vermont
streams on rampages last week, many
streams reaching new high water
levels, causing much damage and tie
ing up trains for days.
The Interstate concrete highway
bridge at Wells River collapsed in
the center Wednesday with an esti-
mated loss of $4,000 to the town of
Newbury and Haverhill.
Feeling the track giving away un-
der his locomotive, an engineer on a
Rutland railroad passenger train near
Dandy, applied his emergency brakes
Just in time to arrest serious wreck.
AS it was six cars were dera1led.
About 300 feet of track was under
mined.
Store Easements in Montpelier
were flooded and fires put out by the
water. Miles of highway in the towns
of Williston, Jonesville, North Dux-
bury, Middiesex and Montpelier juno
ton were under two or three feet OF
water.
In White River Junction many
Maple street houses were flooded and
the families driven from them.
At Bellows Falls the mill of the In
ternationaI Paper Co., was flooded
and highways on three sides were in
undated and travel was orr by hill
roads.
Island Park at Brattleboro was
flooded and many farm houses were
reached only by boat in some sec
tons.
The engineer. fireman and brake
man of a Boston & Maine freight
train were drowned when the locomo-
tive and five care broke through the
roadbed made weak by trains and
plunged into Lake Sunapee in New
Hampshire.
Everywhere in New England the
damage from the flood is large.

Vermont Money Goes to Other States

bennington Banner)
No one knows how much Vermont
money is invested outside the state
but estimates run as high as four
hundred millions of dollars which is
greater by third than all the prop
erty value assessed for taxation in
Vermont. Certainly an estimate of
$50 millions would be extremely con-
sentative and is below the truth rath-
er than above. All of this money es-
capes taxation in Vermont and every
day in the year there are dozen or
more bond and security statesmen
hustling up and down the state ped
ding mortgages and other interest
bearing paper, encouraging Vermont
ers to put their money outside the
state and avoid taxation here. The
abuse is easily remedied when folks
get ready to face facts instead of
chasing rainbows and tagging aft
er silly theorists instead of paying at
tention to the truth of proved exper-
fence. Money is elusive stuff and it
cannot be taxed by the same system
that may successfully be applied to
real estate.

Family Living on $3.50 per Day.

In another column is contribu-
ton headed "Should Mans Wages
be Less than $500 Day." 1t
brings into prominence a few things
that all ought to consider thought
fully. Any who think a family of
four or five ought to live on a wage
of $500 or $3.50 per day ought to
make the experiment and see how far
they get. They can barely live but
their. children cannot be clothed, fed
and educated as the children of good
American citizens ought to be. There
is a big difference between merely
existing and really living.

Public Speaking in Rural Towns.

(From the Mortified News)
One fault with country schools in
the past has been that they have not
done enough to train young people
in public speaking. The lack of abil-
ity to express their thoughts forci-
by and logically in public, has been
one reason why the country people
have not had due consideration in
legislative bodies and party politics
Every high school in Vermont
should have a regular course in pub
lie speaking, SO that every one of it's
young peonle shall be able to state
proposition coherently. 1t would be
well to start training in the upper
grades. of the grammar schools.
