This paper is pleased to know that
- the Vermont Bar association decided
not to disbar Horace F. Graham.
Horace Graham may have committed
a wrong. Few men there be who do
not. And few men receive as great j
punishment for their wrongs as Mr.
Graham has received.

termination that greater justice

were brought before his court. He
therefore added a 30-day jail sen-;
tence to the usual fine. This" ought
t be something of a warning.
This paper would take a great deal
more stock in the letters appearing
in the Burlington Clipper from time
to time, most of which advocate hard
surface road building and bonding for
the project, if they were signed com- '
munications. Parties who send let
ters for publication but who are un-
willing to have their name attached
te the sentiments expressed, seldom
need to be taken seriously.
The passing of such men as Horn-
er Thrasher of Newport, George
, . , , tt, , m r
Myers of Westmore and Fred T.Por-
ter of West Burke, all during the
past week, reminds us of the swift-
ly passing panorama of human events,
.0 feL men were natural ex-1
pected to "carry on' for several
years to come, but they have been;
suddenly taken away. Others grad
ually fill in the place? they have left,
except to the immediate home and
friends, and time moves along.
The good-sized cut in, prices of
many makes of automobiles on Jan
uary 1 indicates that the motor in
dustry is bound to get down to bed
rock in order that its business may
move along with an even keel. Some
believe prices will go up again to
some extent before many months.? Be
that as it may, one can buy today a
better car for less money than before
the war. Few articles of any kind ceeded $5,000, a return must be filed,

project to completion during 1922.
This is only another sign of return
ing confidence and improving condi
tions in Canada, as well as in the
United States.
The Burlington Free Press recent
ly . made long editorial mention of
Barton's winter sports undertaking
and commented very flatteringly up
on the community spirit manifest in
Barton. The article referred to is
reprinted in this issue. The spirit of
cooperation is the chief spirit lack
iiig in many communities which
with it might advance rapidly. The
lack of community team work has
practically killed many a Vermont
town. When everyone lives for him
self, letting George do everything in
the way of public labor, then decay
sets in. The spirit in Barton has
so completely changed in the past
three years that there is scarcely a
semblance of the old Barton left. But
the fact is. not a single new natural
advantage has come to Barton in
thse years. The change has been
entirely in the minds of its citizens.

The formations of these mountains

will some day be developed. We re
fer m to the geographical beauty of

here in Orleans county for brain and

The recent going of Miss Mary
Wheeler, formerly of Irasburg and
Barton, to Georgia to a famous
school for the education ofthe poor
mountain white children of the South,
reminds us that the county has lately
contributed several of its young people-to
similar work. Miss Ina Paige
of Barton has recently gone to 'Mex
ico to teach Bible, a distinct case of
giving one's life for the betterment
of others. It will be recalled too
that the head of the Berry schools to
which Miss Wheeler as gone, is G.
Leland Green, a native of Coventry
John Thorp, a West Glover boy, has
gone into the Christian ministry
within a few years and Miss Lola
Sargent, a Glover girl, is a mission
ary in South Africa. Surely ' these
people, and here are probably other
young Orleans county people who
have gone into like work but are not
recalled at this moment, are doing a
work which shall give them great
reward, and a satisfaction which
comes only to those .who do generous
ly for others.
Income Tax Information.
The following statement is issued
by the collector of internal revenue,
R- W. McCuen; for the district of
Act of 192i contains
two new and ' important provisions
which are subject "of frequent in-
quiry. The. first relates to the per-
sonasemptions allowed d
vision requiring that a return be
made of gross income of $5,000 or
more.
The act provides that a married
person, living with husband or wife,
whose net mcome f or 192i was $5,000
or iess shall be allowed a personal
exemption of $2,500. If the net in-
Icome of such person was over $5,000
the exemption is $2,000. Under the
i revenue act o 1918 the personal ex-
emption allowed a married person
was $2,000 regardless of the amount
oi net income. ine normal tax rate
remains unchanged, 4 per cent, on
the first $400 of net income above
the exemptions and 8 per cent, of the
remaining net income.
In order that an income slightly in
excess of $5,000 shall not be subject
ed to an inordinately disproportion
ate tax because of the reduction of
the exemption of $2,000 thereon, the
law provides that such reduction shall
not operate to increase the tax, which
would be payable if the exemption
were $2,500, by more than the amount
01 tne net income in excess 01 o,uw.
I For example, on a net income of
;$5 ()10 without this saving
'ciausej would be $120.40, which is 4
per cent, on $3,010, the amount of net
income less an exemption of $2,000.
factual
i $5 010 is deducted $2,500, leaving
$2,510, the 4 per cent, tax of which
amounts to $iw.4u. to tnis is aaa
ed $10, "the amount of net income
in excess of $5,000."
The personal exemptions allowed
married persons, apply also to the
head of a family, a person who sup
ports in one household one or more
relatives by blood, marriage or adop
tion. Heretofore, a person whose net in
come was less than his exemption,
($1,000 if single, or $2,000 if mar
ried) was not; required to file a re
turn. Under the Revenue Act of
1921, if the gross income of an indi
vidual equalled or exceeded $5,000, or
if the combined gross income of a
, . or wldrtm t enualiGti or GX
married couple and that of depen-
grross income equalled or exceeded
$5,000.

Our Mineral Wealth.
(Stanstead (P. Q.) Journal)
Large deposits of talc have been
discovered at Montgomery Center.
Already Vermont produces more talc
than any other state in the Union.
The hills and mountains of the state
seem to possess untold wealth ; of
granite, slate, asbestos, and ; talc.
Wetfield has a soapstone mine that
should be worked.
The new asbestos mine at Stevens
Mills, in Eden, has already expended
about $600,000. in development work,!
and intend to do as much more . in
the coming season. There are sever
al million -tons of material in . sight,
but it' is of the slip type. The man
agement intends to make the capacity ;
of the .plant fifty tons daily. The
power used is hydro-electric. About
50 men. will be employed.
How State Expenses Have Grown.
(Burlington Free Press)
If we desire to appreciate this
jump in state expenditures from
$280,000 a year in 1871 to $800,000
in 1906 and $5,000,000 a yeaar in
1921 or 400 per cent, as Senator Dil
lingham told a Montpelier club the
other day, while our population re
mained practically stationary, it will
help us to glance at totals by depart
ments in detail and note what to com
mend and what to change.
In 1902, the year in which Mr. Cle
ment first ran for governor, with
Gov. McCollough, Dr: W. Seward
Webb and Fletcher D. Proctor as
his rivals, the state expenditures for
roads, omitting cents for convenience,
were $89,707 as compared with ' $1,
051,080 in 1920; education, $140,971
in 1902 as against $809,284 in 1920;
agriculture, $55,980 as compared with
$226,827; health department, $15,321
as against $106,046; conservation of
natural resources, $4,179 as against
$59,858; general administration, $35,
730 - as against $232,102; legislature,
$66,039, as against $150,012 in 1919,
and more in 1921; judiciary, $248,844
in 1902 and $344,647 in 1920; mili
tary, $26,203 as against $586,463; ex
traordinary, $24,710 as against $70,
944; miscellaneous, $17,699 as against
$131,327.
Gubernatorial Talk.
(Bennington Banner.)
The candidate who represents any
class or cult is always dangerous. He
may be honest, sincere and even bril
liant that he takes his place in the
halls of tiower with his eye looking
always in one direction. j
The writer of 1 this article is sus
pected of being a candidate for gov
ernor. He is not at the present time
but might be next summer if .there
seemed to be a genuine wish that
he should serve. If he is, his plaat
form will be chiefly this: "No exten
sion of paternalism and bureaucracy
in the state government and no ap
proval of bills which will add to the
tax burdens of the people of Ver
mont." i
For the cutting down of preesenent
appropriations and fixed charges the
state is entirely dependent on the leg
islature. The various towns have
this entirely in their own hands. They
can elect an economical legislature
or an extravagant one. The worst
they can do is to send a man with a
scheme for an appropriation to help
his own town. He may get it but if
he does he has to go into partnership
with every other raid on the state
treasury and it is partnership in
these Taids, that make government so
expensive and is doubling taxes evr
ery five or six years.
Barton's Community Spirit Commend
ed. (Burlington . Free Press)
We are encouraged over the spirit
of enterprise now being shown by
ether communities in Vermont that
j have not heretofore shone in connec
' tion with winter sports. We cannot
I afTord our readers a better idea of
'the community spirit which is making
j itself manifest in different Vermont
j towns than to quote from a letter
sent to Outing, whose editor enter
tained Buriington peonlea few days
ago, by Mr. Clarence S. Webster,
treasurer of the Barton Improvement
clvh. as follows:
"The writer has just been handed
a cl ipping in which the fact was stat
ed that your magazine will devote a
special number to winter snorts, and
in this connection we would be glad, if
you cared to do so. to have you give
a little space to what we propose to
do here. - ' ,
Barton is a village of about 1200
people on the B. & M. R. R., 220 miles
north of Boston and 117 miles south of
Montreal and about 20' miles south of
the Canadian border. We have a
beautiful lake three miles long and
three-fourths mile wide with an un
surpassed sand beach, bath house and
lockers, public tennis court, fair
pround, baseball, golf and lake and
the native brook trout fishing in
streams and ponds. In fact we are
right in the center of the lake region.
The above has little to do with win
ter snorts but I wanted you, to know
the kind of a town we have.
"The Improvement club were plan
ning to get something started and th
American Legion also had the project
in mind so the club decided to assist
them by building a toboggan slide
and to buy some toboggans and bicy
cle skooters and give them the use of
them this winter. We have already
made the purchase of the outfit and
just as soon as we have a little more
snow, the slide will be built. ' The
Legion is making plans for a large
skating rink also.
"The location selected is right near
"Hotel Barton," one of the finest
inns today in the state. Practically
every business man is a shareholder
and it is the intent first of all to have
a real hotel and to thata end a real
hotel man has been secured as man
ager. -
"As the village owns its electric
light plant we are enabled to do' some
things of a community nature to ad
vantage and it is the plan to have
plenty of electrifying so that peo
ple coming through the village may
ee what we have. At he present
time we have a community Christmas
tree in the village park illuminated
by about 50 colored lamps."
Barton is evidently a live town in
more ways than one and possessed of
the real community spirit. It owns
its electric light plant and is thus in
a position to ,- do 'manv things in the
wjt"- of progress. That speaks vo'-um-s
for the spirit of Barton. It is
;n l;ne with what we have so persist
ent urged relative to the deveon
ynnt of artificial ponds arid genera t
of hro-electric power in hun
dreds of Vermont towns. ... To such a
community winter sports can be noth
;ng short of a superlative success.
Let other towns follow this example.
There is no danger of too . many win
ter sports in Vermont. Indeed, ev
ery new project simply helps to make
the Green Mountain region a mecca
for lovers of winter pastimes and de
votees of the winter carnival spirit.

The following letter appearing in
the last issue of the Vermont Mis
sionary is of interest for two reaons.
Its ' writer was born in Barton and
the principle of justice he proclaims
is worthy of wide publicity.
Eugene, Ore., Nov. 19th, '21.
Mr. Alvin C. 'Noyes,
St. Johnsbury. Vt.
Dear Sir:
I understand that you are treas
urerof a fund created by one of the
early Fairbanks, long since gone to
his reward, for the purpose of aiding
worthy young men preparing for the
ministry.
In the fall of 1873 and spring of
1874, I received from this fund the
sum of $100, four quarterly install
ments of $25 each; upon the theory
and supposition that I was preparing
for the ministry. I was atthe'time
honestly intending and expecting to
make that my life work; but One
wiser than I and Who knew better
than my sainted mother what He had
in store for me ruled otherwise and
it has not been my lot or portion to
preach the gospel, according to the
general acceptance of the term.
We used to hear over in New Eng
land, fifty to sixty years ago, much
about young men being "called" to
preach. I still believe many have
been so called, but I believe just as
strongly and sincerely that young
men are called to the medical and
legal professions, as well as to the
clergy; and heartily believe that my
life has counted .more, poor and im
perfect as it has been, for the up
building of the Kingdom of God and
the advance of Christianity, than it
would have, had I completed a theo
logical course and tried to preach.
But be that as it may, I did not do
that and it is now too late to turn
back and begin over again. I realize
though, that this $100 was not in
tended for the advancement of the
work I have been engaged in and it
should have been returned long ago
but the All-Wise Father has not
seen fit to entrust wealth or much of
this world's goods to my care and I
imve never seen the time that I felt
that in justice to my family, I could
return it. I now realize that what I
do I must do quickly. My girls are
now women and 'have homes of their
own. . She, who for 45 years has been
dearer to me than life, has gone on
before to that haven, from which
none return. I have very little use
for money and am still able .to earn
a little and from that little, I must
so far as possible make amends to
this fund for what it bestowed upon
me in good faith and which I received
m good faith, but have not used ac
cording to that purpose.
When quite a small boy, living up
on Barton mountain, where I was
born, I learned that money invested
at 6 per cent, interest doubled in
about 16 years. There have been
practically three periods of 16 years
each since I received this money; so
according to this rule the $100 should
have been doubled three times, and I
am enclosing herewith cashier's check
No. 9070, U. S. National of Eugene,
payable to your order for $800, the
amount reached by the third doubl
ing; trusting that it may help some
young fellow on the way which was
not planned for me.
There has never been a time when
young men consecrated to the minis
try were more needed than now and
I sincerely hope that this little ad
vance to me may prove as bread cast
upon the waters and returning after
many days.
Cordially yours.
A, E. Wheeler.
