TAX-FREE SECCI RITIES.
If is easy to get a wrons view of tax
free securities and an unfair opinion of
those who invest in them. Granting that
the present flow of investment money in
this direction is unfortunate, because it
tends to starve industrial enterprise and
gives the government less taxes, a fair-
minded person must admit that such in
vestment is legitimate. It may be unpat
riotic, in the larger sense, but it is not
reprehensible. It is a natural form of
investment just now, owing to unusual
conditions.
There must be bond issues, and bond is
sues must have purchasers, and there
must lie a public market for them. Mod
ern business is based on this foundation
as much as on any.
Rond-s are simply mortgages, secured
like any other form of mortgage. Investors
turn to them in a time when other invest
ments are doubtful. Stocks are different ;
they represent partnerships in the busi
ness, and business partnerships just now
are not rated so high as usual becauso
profits are doubtful.
S' stocks are down and bonds are up.
The latter pay comparatively low rates
of interest, but they pay regularly. Free
dom from taxation is an added incentive
at present, but it is only a detail. Ronds
that are not free from taxation have to
pay higher interest rates or sell at a
lower valuation, or both.
Such matters adjust themselves auto
matically in the market. When corpora
tions start making big profits again,
bond-owners will be unloading their bonds
and loading up again with stocks.

And now we are entering upon a 10
year holiday, with the three leading
powers voluntarily scrapping nearly a
million tons of fighting ships, while all
the nations applaud.
Yes, we still tight ; but people who used
to tight each other are beginning to fight
armament and taxes and poverty and
ignorance and disease.
Report has it that the throne of Al
bania has been offered to Jerome I.ona-parte-

great-grand-nephew of the famous Nap

Douglas Fairbanks in his movie stunts
has nothing on the I'roctorsville man,
who. when an engine struck at a grarle
crossing the automobile ifi which he was
riiling. jumped and caught onto the cow
catcher and rode unharmed until the train
was stopped.
Chicago's prohibition chief, who has
promised to make that city "so dry it
will squeak," has started in with the ar
rest of r0i) persons for violation of the
"dry" laws. Even that number will hardly
start a single squeak in Chicago.
No doubt the "sick wife" who was
rushed across West river bridge the other
night to save her life will recover in time
ito enjoy the. holiday festivities.

Go up-snd look in the setting room

Well in case its there, pop, shall I
sl'de it down the steps to you or bring

Neither, III telefone for a messenger

Being sourcastic. and I started to go up

its going to be up there, pop.
On wat do you base that assumption?
sed pop. Meening wat did I know about
it. Me not saving wat. thinking. G, darn

he s in a good enuff of a humor. And
I called down. It aint up heer. pop.
I m not serprized, sed pop. Me not be

tea with cinnamon and rum.
THE FIGHTING ANIMAL.
Still there are cynics who keep on par
roting the familiar refrain :
"You can't stop warfare, because man
is a fighting animal, and human nature
never changes."
. Whether human nature at bottom
really changes -may ! open to discussion,
but that is not exactly what the cynics
usually mean. They mean that human
nature keeps right on expressing itself,
age after age, in the same way. And
history, past and present, is crammed
with facts disproving that assumption.
Take this naval holiday business. Sup
lose any (Statesman, native or foreign,
had suggested 10 years ago that we will
all -top building warships and sink half
of what we had. including our latest and
test models. He would have been howled
down as a crazy dreamer.
The British government in 11)13, driven
by fear of the growing German navy and
the increasing cost of armament, did
sound out the German government about
a two-year suspension of building, and
promptly withdrew the proposal when it
Tlig Growth of Christmas Clubs."
(Bellows Falls Times.)
Christmas Cutis as an educating force
in establishing the habit of saving, espe
cially in the young, are coming to the
front more prominently each year. The
jhinks of the country are now handling
tnese ciuds in a systematic way witn tne
result that the number of members and
the aggregate of savings increase re
markably from year to year. So import-
Iant has the Christmas club idea become
that the American Bankers' association
fas this year made a survey of the snb
'ject and found that about $200,000,000
was distributed by the clubs inTl'JO.
And He Did!
As to Anto Fees.
(Manchester Journal.)
Much adverse criticism has from time
to time been leveled at the so-called, in
justice of the rates charged by Vermont
for auto fees, comparing them with Mas
sachusetts. New York. New Jersey, etc.
Perhaps it will be brought out that we
were not so very far out of the way
after all as it now appears the Common
wealth of Massachusetts finds it is not
getting enough out of what it charges
and a bill is to be introduced in the next
legislature looking to a decided increase
in auto fees.
Acting for the Capital.
(Barre Times.)
Marshal Foch may be pardoned, per
haps, if perchance he considered Brattle
boro the capital of Vermont. Brattleboro
looked and acted the part while Foch
was passing through.

I'd gladly see the scrapping of every gun and pike. I'd see no war flags
