schools, and "more vigorous
collection of (government)
loans."
Running for reelection to
one of two Senate seats open in
Caledonia County, Democrat
Scudder Parker, of St.
Johnsbury said, "The biggest
issue facing state government
is the very big question of how
to cope with what is going on
in Washington (the New
Federalism push, huge cuts in
federal programs to be
replaced by block grants to
the states)." Citing early
damage to federal programs
such" as entitlements for
special education, Parker
added, "Federalism in many
ways is an abandonment of
programs. We need to
tCaVelope our own programs
t will strengthen our
communities." He also spoke
on state government's role in
stressing energy con-
servation, and on "using both
old and new plans" for
boosting economic develop-
ment.
Also seeking a Caledonia
County Senate seat is former
t.. Johnsbury selectmen and
t. Johnsbury Academy
science teacher William
Stowe, a Republican. Stowe
said that, if elected, he would
"run each decision through a
series of sires, with the first I
return to Montpelier as a
Senator from Caledonia
County. Said Morse, '.'I've
never promised anybody how
I'd vote on a particular issue,
but I'll listen to my con-
stituents to hear what they
have to say."
Write-in Senatorial can-
didate Herb Gallagher takes a
simple approach to his unique
campaign. Asked what
committees he would be in-
terested in serving on if
elected, Gallagher replied,
"Well... I'd like to serve on a
forestry committee because I
have some forest on my land,
'and I'd like to serve on an
elderly committee because
I'm old." The fiftyish can-
didate said he would like to see
the state help the part-time
farmer with crop marketing
and incentives. Gallagher said
he was particularly concerned
with unused land in the state.
Tom Ryan, former bank
president and community
leader from Rutland, is a
Democrat running against
Republican Peter Smith for
Lt. Governor. Ryan has been
touring the state recently
stressing his goal of
"strengthening the position of
Lt. Governor in this state,
using it as something other
than just a figurehead title."
Ryan told the Bradford group

Electin a
Justice of Peace
Editor's note: The following article was written by the
Democrat and Republican parties in Bradford. They both
feel it is important the reader is aware of Various elected
positions.
BRADFORD-- Why do we elect Justices of Peace in Vermont
-- to notorize documents and marry people? Hardly, a
Justice of Peace can perform only some notorial acts and can
marry people. But, ministers can marry people and there are
many people who can notorize documents.
The position of Justice of Peace is much more important.
They ser.e on two important boards, the Board of Civil
Authority and on the Board of Tax Abatement, where they
perform vital and important government functions.
The Board of Civil Authority is, among other functions,
responsible for voter check lists, the conduct of elections,
assisting citizens in their voting when necessary, and con-
sidering tax appeals from the Board of Listers. In matters
involving elections the Board of Civil Authority must include
members of both major parties and when assisting a voter, a
member of each party must be present. The same is true for
the polling place and the counting of ballots.
The Board of Tax Abatement considers the abating, that is
the excusing, of taxes. For instance, the fire department
buys a building for use as a fire house after the first day of the
tax year, but a fire house is exempt from property tax. Since
the property was in another persons name on the first day of
the tax year the property cannot be exempted till the next
year. The Board of Abatement can excuse the tax for the
period the building was a fire house. There are many other
circumstances where the reliving of taxes is proper and
esireable.
The above are only some of the important functions of the
Justice of Peace in Vermont. (Justices of Peace no longer
hold court) You as voters select Justices of Peace, and this is
an important function that you have the responsibility to
perform. What kind of a person makes a good Justice of
Peace, one who is actively concerned in community affairs,
who will take the responsibility serious and will and can
participate fully. It is sometimes a difficult task spending
much of the day at the polls and then coming back and
counting ballots late into the evening, or to spend long hours
looking over properties that are the subject of tax appeals.
Its more a position of hard work than honor, although due
respect must be given to those who care enough to par-
ticipate fully in these duties.

When Congress gave huge
new tax breaks to the oil
companies and other special
interests... Jim Jeffords
stood alone
and objected.
Jim knows strengthening of the free
enterprise system must be accomplished in a
way that's fair to all Americans.
So he's fought for benefits for those who
have been temporarily displaced...and for
opportunities for all Americans to be
productive citizens.
Jim doesn't always stand alone. This year,
when he led the way in reforming the
nation's job training programs, his reforms
were hailed by both parties as among the
finest achievements of the current Congress.
In difficult times, we need leaden with
