STATISTICS OF THE VERMONT Press Hon
E. p. Walton thus writes to the Montpeier
Journal:
Through an error, either of the reporter
or the compositor, the Vermont newspapers
generally have given the statistics wrong
In 1920 there were nine or ten weekly news
papers; while in 1868 the number is IS
weekly; to this add six dailies, equal to SO
weeklies, and the total equals Il weeklics.
Again the newspapers now will average
more than double the size of the newspapers
Of 1920, so the power of the press is as l62
to 10 Remembering that, by the use of
smaller type, the printers now give more
matter in the same space, the increase since
1920 is much greater than above stated. The
average price of newspapers to subscribers is
nevertheless made less than in 1920 5 0 the
public arc better served and pay IA less price
for the services-by no means an adequate
price.
Mr.. Walton remarks. which we printed
last week, were a valuable record of the early
editors and publishers of the State and all
the more interesting and entertaining to
those of us who heard them, for the familiar
conversational, yet earnest manner of his
discourse.

CONGRESS on THE EIGHT Hour SYSTEM
We find in the report of proceedings in the
House last week the following
The eight hour system for labor was up
before the o. S. Senate for consideration on
providing that eight hours shall constitute
a legal days work for all persons in the en-
plov of the United States Government. A
lively discussion arose, the Democrats favor
ing the bill, as also did Mr.. Wilson of Mrssa-
chusetts, while others of the Republicans
opposed it.
Mr. Morrill, of Vermont believed this bill
was an attempt to obtain votes, and to de-
grade the workingmen by depriving them of
the privilege of making contracts for their
labor for whatever amount of time and money
they chose. The workingmen would find
that it injured them, and this would prevent
the measure from resulting to the advantage
of any political party.
Mr.. Fessenden said the plain question was
whether the Government should pay 20 per
cent more than is paid by private parties
For there is no competition in Government
work, and workmen will refuse to be hired
except at the highest rates, while they will
work less time.
This is political dodge, both Republicans
and Democrats advocating it because they
hope to catch votes by it. Of course, it is
nothing but voting gratuity to employees
IN the United States service, gratuity which
not one OF those whose votes carried it would
have favored if the money was to come out
of their own pockets. There is no justice or
propriety or sense in fixing any number Of
hours as a legal days work, except in the
case of children and in that case the'enact-
ment is only in aid of health. If farmers
should work only eight hours day, the har-
vest they would reap would be small. Why
should men at work for the government be
treated better than farmers treat themselves
As long as no person is obliged to work
more hours in a day than he agrees to,
whether it be eight, ten, twelve, or twenty,
what business has the law to interfere, and

slant and obvious differences. From the con-
duct of Parliament the administration of
an University to the direction of hotel or
the running of a railroad train, the differences
are matters of perpetual observation. 1t is a
little difficult to become accustomed to them.

noticeable.

Fortunately for the public, he did not feel
