THE GovERNoRsHIP.

The St. Adams Messenger sums w
the goyernorship talk to date as fol
lows:
"a Montpelier special dispatch tc
the Burlington News intimates strong
" that Lieutenant Governor Foote viii
not find himself without opposition in
his candidacy for the governorship.
"There is no cause for surprise in
this. Mighty few men will ever be
elevated to the executive chair with
out having to make something of a
contest. 1t would not be well for our
public life if governorships, or other
important offices, were to go by de-
fault. Now and then man may come
up who by common consent fills the
bill exactly, but this win happen most
rarely.
''But there is this to be said. SO far
no one has come out in the open with
anything like positive indication that
he would be candidate. Former
Lieutenant Governor Howe, with a
host of friends in various parts of the
state, comes nearer to it than anyone
else, but The News article indicates
that it is somewhat doubtful if he
comes in.
"The News mentions the name of
Redfeld Proctor; also of Olin Merrill
Mr.. Proctor's name has been heard in
connection with the governorship for
some time and he il decidedly pos
sibility. As the result Of Mr.. Mer-
rill's recent comments on state finances
it has been assumed in some quarters
that he is considering venturing into
the arena.
s'The two things do not necessarily
go together. Mr.. Merrill, some years
ago an active and powerful figure in
state politics. has maintained an inter-
est in state matters since, and the
Free Press articles we're solicited, as
The Messenger understands it, the con-
temporary desiring to obtain the views
of one of the best informed men on
state matters. If the opinion should
grow that the state needs business
man with experience in statecraft,
whose tendencies are markedly toward
economy, there might be local turn
ing to the Enosburg Falls man.
"But so far as The Messenger can
see now, conditions are in state Of
fux. Out OF the churning some def
mite development will undoubtedly be
forthcoming before long Meanwhile
Uncle Abe is sending around his cir
culars and making hay while the sun
shines He will keep moving and at
tract his followers. This factor win
also serve to hasten things. 1t would
not be surprising if Vermont were
once again to have brisk campaign
for first honors."

being ignorant of these things, he
sometimes suffers on account of his
lack Of knowledge of his own limita-
tions. If Henry Ford knew his limi-
tations he undoubtedly would not
have attempted some things which
have impaired his reputation. How
ever. I am inclined to think that 1t is
just as well that not all men go to
college. Now and then an original
mind escapes the suppression Of it's
originality by conventional training.

have met men who, 1 am sure. are
more interesting for having grown up
without scholarly inhibitions. In the
case OF Henry Ford. however. 1 am
inclined to believe that the gains
would have more than Offset the
losses.
THERE is one peculiar danger to
L which men of wealth unframed in
the scholastic sense are exposed-the
danger Of assuming that. because they
have made a great success and shown
exceptional ability in one field of
action, that therefore their opinions
are of equal weight in all others. 1t
does not follow, because a man has
worked up from job as section hand
to that of railroad president, that he
Is final authority on beetles and
cause a man without training has
mode important scientific and me-
chanical discoveries, that he has the
last word to say on religion and phi
losophy. Mr.. Ford now and then en-
ters fields Of action for which he has
not the special fitness that distin-
guishes him in his own particular
field. But 1t is human to desire a
wider scope for the exercise of our
faculties. Even parsons in some in
stances feel peculiarly fitted to give
big business men a lot of advice.
Mr.. Ford is not the illiterate man
that some have maliciously tried to
make him out. His reading is lin
tied, but he reads-not the heavy
tones of history, philosophy, political
science and the like. but what. for the
want of a better name. I would call
the life books. He once gave me a

But his vast material interests are
first. He is more interested In things

PROPOSED INCOME TAX LAW

The purpose of this law as stated in
the title is to impose a tax on individ-
uals, associations, corporations and
other forms of business organizations,
for the support and maintenance of
the public schools. The amount of the
tax is determined by the net income.
The federal income tax law has been
followed so far as it is applicable to
our conditions. The same method of
arriving at net income is used, so that
the taxpayer can use the same return
for the state law that he makes out
for the federal officer. This avoids
duplication and confusion.
This law will not impose an addi-
tional tax, but is intended to be a
substitute for a large part of the tax
now raised on property. 1t will make
possible a reduction of district pc
cial levies to the amount of money
raised by this act. This statement is
made in the title of the law.
A two per cent normal tax is i'm
posed upon the net yearly income of
