Eureka!
New York, March 2—The humiliation of Governor Jerry Brown by Governor Richard Snelling was well-earned in purely theatrical terms. Governor Snelling presides over one of the most profligate states in the Union, whose tax policies, when compared to those of its identical twin, New Hampshire—which they are always being compared with— leaves abundant room for embarrassment. A recent study established that although Vermont’s taxes are higher than New Hampshire’s at every level, services are if anything inferior. Governor Snelling has been trying to do something about it for years and was not therefore in a mood to be instructed in the uses of husbandry by the new boy from California, who as recently as last June was berating the economizers, right up until the voters led him by the nose toward Damascus, where he was finally transfigured.
