OGDEN MILLS HITS
SMITHS HIGH TAX
Declares While New York
Revenues Increased Public
Never Got Benefit.
BY thu Associated Press.

UTICA, N. Y. Septembe: 3-Ocden
Mills. Uudersocretary CT the Treasury,
declared in an address here today that
since Alfred L. Sn it'll first became Gov
ernor of New YORK the revenues of the
State have mere ascd from approx
mately S75000,00G to $4,000 600, but
that neither tax reduction nor payment
of the STATE debt had followed.
Mills cited these figures in a discus
sion of Smiths diSputation of Pepub-
lican claims OF economy and tax reGuC-
ton and declared that the governor was
not in a very coed position to criticize. "
The increase m State revenues. h
said, has been eaten up by increased
expenditure: and far from reducing the
debt and tightening the burden Of in
tercst charges, under Gov. Smith it has
been found necessary to break down the
wise pay-as-yougo policy followed for
50 many years and to embark on an in
tenSlve borrowing program, which in the
course Of very few years has resulted
in an authorized increase OF our public
debt Of almost half a billion dollars
In so far as agriculture is con-
cerned," Mills continued, more iegisla-
ticn hes been enacted for the benefit
Of the farmer during the last eight years
than during any other period in our
history: and if final solution has not
vet been found, it has not been because
Of lack of good will or lack Of ability.
but because OF inability of the most able
and best friends of tho farmers thcm-
selves to agree on a solution"

TOPOLLS TUESDAY
"Mountain Rule" on Cover
ncrship Is Big Issue for
Republicans.


BURLINGTON, Vt, September g.
The Republican voters of Vermont will
declare next Tuesday whether they con-
slider inviolable the So-called mountain
rule" that has prevailed since 1341. and
the closely connected policy, that each
governor should be limited to two years
of service. Until about the. time OF the
Republican convention last May to
choose delegates to the national con-
vention. it was assumed that Gov, John
4. Weeks would retire at the end OF his
term next Jenuary. in accordance with
this unwritten rule that the Office
should alternate between the two con-
grcssional districts which are Sepa-
rated by the Green Mountain range
But there seemed to be a considerable
demand that Gov. Weeks should be
kept in Office for another term in order
to continue the work Of rehabilitation
following the flood Of last Novcmbcr.
This demand was recognized by Judge
Stanley c. Wilson of Chelsea, who was
the most prominent candidate for the
Republican nomination in case
change was to be made, and he with
drew from the field. Gov Weeks an
nouncing at the same time that If the
people wanted him to serve another
term. he would do so. This action made
Judge Wilson the most prominent can
didate for the Office of Lieutenant gov
ernor. the Office being vacant at the
present time because of the death Of
Lieut.. Gov. S. Hollister Jackson, who
lost his life in the flood and until about
six weeks ago it had been generally ac-
cepted that the Republican State ticket
would be Weeks and Wilson.
The announcement by Mayor Edward
H. Daavitt OF Montpelier that he woulu
be candidate for the Republican NOM
nation for governor at the primary
September II therefore occasioned some
surprise Mayor Deavitt gives the
mountain rule and the single term pol
icy as his principal reasons for entering
the field. The new candidate is SIS
years Of age, lawyer was State treas
urer for eight years and Is now serving
his third term as mayor of Montpelier,
the capital
The Democrats have also filed
ticket fer the primary. headed by Harry
c. Shurtleff. also a Montpelier lawyer,
as their candidate for governor. They
are enthusiastic for Al Smith and there
is every reason to b2lieve that the
governor will poll a larger vote in Vcr-
mont next November than any Demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency has
received in many years. Prohibition
Will be made an issue, at least in the
first congressional district. which
borders the State of New York and
which is much "wetter" than the east
side of the State during the years when
Vermont had local option law. The
Republican State committee has scnsed
this enthusiasm for Gov. Smith and is
doing moro campaign work than usual
in an effort to get out the Republican
vote. However. there is no likelihood
of Vermont going Democratic.
United States Senator Frank l..
Greene and Representatives. Ebert s.
Brigham and Ernest w. Gibson will
have no Republican opposition at the
primary for denomination, and the
only contest in sight is that between

EX-GOVERNOR FOSS

BOSTON, September 8.-Declaring
that the election of Gov. Smith on the
wet platform would set this Nation
back so years" former Gov. Eugene N.
Foss announced yesterday that he
would vote for Herbert Hoover for
President
This announcement by Mr.. Foss, who
served three terms as governor Of
Massachusetts and has been a leader of
the Democratic party III this State for
many years, was contained in a letter
to Arthur Lyman, State chairman of the
Democratic finance committee, declin-
ing an invitation to become a member
of the committee
Il believe that national prohibition. "
he said, is proving such a success
from an economic standpoint that every
civilized nation in the world which
seeks world markets will be compelled
10 follow in our footsteps.
The election of Gov. Smith on the
wet platform would set this Nation back
80 years. We would be unable to con-
tinue 10 pay eir high wage scale and
compete IN foreign markets and we
would also lose heavily to our foreign
competitors in our home markets
The Democratic party committed
harl-karl at Houston in nominating a
wet candidate on a dry platform. This
is not the first time the Democratic
party has got on the wrong side of a
great moral question Slavery. Is to l.
and now prohibition. The same hui
initiating defeat awaits the party in
November that it has suffered every
time it has blinded itself to a great
moral issue. / sbelieve the party will
not carry a single Northern State, not
even New York. and it bids fair tc
lose some of the Southern States
We Democratic drys. who refuse tc
support the candidate, need not regard
ourselves as boilers. for Gov Smith

plank in the platform"

says that John Donaldson, premier
twirler, will not don a Bertha uni
form this year. He has signed
with another team for a nice in
crease in salary. Donaldson tried
to organize team in this city last
fall, but for some reason or other
the proposition was dropped. Man.
ager Fischer, of the Bertha team,
has two or three other top-notch-
ers in view and believes that Ber-
tina will suffer little, if any, by
Donaldson's failure to carry out
the terms of his contract. The
large colored pitcher was one of
the best drawing cards in semi
professional baseball and was re-
sponsible for Bertha's success. No
doubt, his absence will be keenly
felt to the extent of dollars and
cents

We have had our nauseating fill
of Ruth and Judd" of peaches

Fox" These stand out as exag-
gerated instances of a general
fault; the perversion of life's pur-
poses.
Man is a unique being. He is a
dweller in two worIds-the spir-
itual and the material. Life is
more than eating and drinking,
working and pett1ng. That is life
on the lowest, the animal plane.
Where ife's purpose is thus sum-
med up it is perverted. All per-
verts are not confined in asylums
and jails. The majority are very
much at liberty.
Men were created for God and
for union with Him. When man has
found his God he begins to live.
To achieve that, union must be the
primary purpose of life Spiritual
realities alone possess lasting val
ue. Jesus Christ, the eternal Son
of God, is the contact man between
the material world in which man
finds himself ana the spiritual
world for which God has created
him. By His death on the cross
He has atoned for sin which bars
from God and life IN Him. He be-
slows new life through His Cos
pei, the message of His sacrifcial
life and death. That new life is
"the life more abundant" 1t is
rich with delights that are indie
pendent of check-books and jazz
1t brings peace ard ccntentment
and fearlessness that makes even
death contemplate. ... .
Where a man goal il anything
less than God it is a perversian OF
life's purpose. 1t does not always
lead to crookedness or violence
prison-bars or the chair. But ii
will lead to eternal doom. Saliva.
