THE LONDONDERRY SITTER,

combil alton Of fertile valleys, clear
rapid streams, and forest covered
mountains, spread all over the state,
Her soil, even upon the hill-tups,
where it has not been abused and
slaughtered is all that could he asked
for. She eau raise everything, in
rich abundance, and IL is close to thu
doors of the market. She is where
she is because of deadheadism, and u
wrong Interpretation of her wants,
We have overlooked the fact that
her true strength and glory consists
in her hills aud her many hill towns,
rather than in her valleys and her few
valley towns. Om tue policy must
be to faster build up and preserve
these hill towns. In spite of the
fact that they have ever held the BAL
ance of power, they have been thus
far, MS q rule, the mere tools OF the
large places. 1t is time that they
should assert their rights and then,
in very truth, build up the state.
What has killed the hill towns, most
of all, is burdensome taxation. Year
after year, decade after decade, it has
worn upon them and ground them
down. 1t should cost the poor man
upon the hills no more for q second
class school than it does the rich man
in the valleys for first class one.
The valley towns are fed by the hill
towns, hence the highways that con-
meet them should be supported in
common. What we must have is /:
A state school tax and state high
way tax to the amount of at least one
half the needed expense. Then the
wealth that has been, for so many
years, sliding into the valleys, thence
by easy egress out of the state, will
begin to flow back. These hill farms
will become saleable. If no one else
will take them, our city cousins will
pick them up and the five million dol
lars that annually goes into New
Hampshire will be doubled, as it
should be, in Vermont. Repeal one
half of our laws, and build over the
other half i; let our old men act as
though they wanted to retain the
young men stop turning capital so
that it can't remain here; let our
churches wake up and become pow
er in the land to encourage and build
up our young people morally, physi-
cally, mentally; sp,l superstition and
deadheadism wherever you find it,
and you will find Vermont all right.
