ways borne in this way, but we be-
lieve that the state as q whole has sum
cient interest in the welfare OF all its
parts to Justify this small land success
ful) experiment with socialism. Bur-
lington has an interest in the welfare
III Orange county-a brotherly inter-
est, pecuniary interest. Both com
munities are parts Of Vermont and
share alike in its traditions and its
reputation. The few miles that sepa-
rate them fade into insienificance
when viewed from afar. The achieve
ments Of Orange county's sonsat home
and abroad rebound to the credit OF
Vermont, and Burlington shares in
the honor. The Queen City has an
interest in the intellectual develop
ment of Orange county, when the rep
resentatives Of each meet and frame
laws for the whole state or, together
on the bench, interpret them. Bnr-
lington has an interest in making the
highways OF Orange county passable,
even though no denizen OF that city
ever uses them, for only by the com-
munication afforded by good roads
can people gain that knowledge Of
each other and of the world at large
that fits them for citizenship in state
like ours.
We have noticed several times that
this very contemporary, the Ners, has
reproached Orange county for what it
alleges to be its decadence. 1t mar
shals figures to show that Orange
county has refrigerated in population
and wealth in recent years. But for
a few back counties like Orange the
state would show handsome gain,
etc. And yet Orange county is and,
in spite of the contemporary, is likely
to remain portion Of Vermont.
Whatever helps it will help the state
and whatever harms it will have the |
same effect on Vermont as whole.
Then why does the Meas object to the
state school and highway laws by
which the ability Of the people of Or
snge county to transact their business
md educate their children is increased
md the section made more desirable
is place OF residence?

IN HANDS OF RECEIVERS.
The Central Vermont Railroad Com
pany Embarrassed.

Upon application made by the
Grand Trunk Railroad company OF
Canada to Judge Wheeler OF the
United States district court Friday,
in the equity suit OF that company
against the Central Vermont Railroad
company, President +. c. Smith OF
the latter company and General Man
ager G. M. Hays OF the Grand Trunk
were appointed receivers of the Gen.
trail Vermont road. On Saturday the
same persons.were appointed by the
circuit court OF Massachusetts, for thai
jurisdiction.
This suit was brought for an
amount Of $4l5,7l2.45 which the
Grand Trunk claims is due it for
traffic charges for four months pre-.
ceding March LIST. The Central adj
mits the validity OF the lien claimed
by the plaintiff, but asks for proof OF
amount due.
The application for the receiver
ship was made without the knowl-
edge OF the Central officials and was a
complete surprise to them. From the
fact that President Smith was named
as one Of the receivers, however, it is
not probable that any serious blow is
aimed at the defendant road.
No change will be madeGon the per-
sonnet of the Central staff or EN-.
ploycs and the business Of the road.
will be carried on by the receivers
without interruption. The floating
debt OF the Central is about $1,000
900, mostly secured.

The State Tax Laws.

The Burlington Daily News does
not agree with us in the lesson drawn
from comparing the tax rates OF the
various towns in the state which we
recently published. 1t thinks that in
stead OF showing the justice OF the
laws under which taxes are assessed
upon the grand list of the whole state
and the receipts distributed back in
proportion to the needs of the various
towns, without reference to the amount
which each town pays, it shows rather
the injustice Of forcing one section Of
the state to help support another.
What Interest, it asks, has Burlington
in the condition of Orange county !?
Why should Burlington pay single
cent toward the support of schools and
highways in distant section like Or
ange county ?
Now it should be borne in mind
that only a snail portion Of the mon
eys expended for schools and high
ways comes from the state under the
state school and highway taxes. Each
town is compelled to raise at least 20
cents on the dollar for highway pur-
poses and at least rs cents for school
purposes before it can receive any Of
the state tax money. This state tax
amounts to only five cents for school
and five cents for highway purposes.
1T town has a small grand list to
base taxes on and many miles of high
way and a heavy school charge to sus-
tain, it will receive from the state tax
more than it pays in, though the I
amoun. gained thereby is seldom very
large. The richer cities and towns
which can economically sustain their
schools and highways will lose some
thing by the operation Of these laws.
The whole amount that any one city
or town loses is inconsiderabIe, yet the
same amount when turned over to
some poor, struggling community
already taxed beyond its ability to
pay is veritable blessing. h
OF course it would be unjust to lave
The total expense of schools and high

The Central vermont's Embarrass.
ment.

The news that the Central Vermont
Railroad company has passed into
the llancs of receivers will be a sur.
prise to the general public. 1t was
known that the company has been
deeply in debt and hard pressed for
several years.. in fact its whole history
has been a record OF constant strug-
gle to avert what it seems was inevi-
table.
The road was built very early when
the cost of construction was immense
compared with what it now is. The
public had to learn to appreciate the
value OF the undertaking and the
roads patronage in the beginning
was disappointing. The original
stock company failed within four
years and the road passed to the
mortgages, who ran it year when
it went into the hands of receivers by
whom it was run until 1872, when,
after some complications, a CONSOLE
dationswas effected and the road came
into the control of the late company.
1t has been saddled with an enor-
nous Understanding debt and its
running expenses have been heavy
with its receipts, yet it was
thought to be on basis where it
would work out its salvation, but the
burden proved too heavy to be tided
over these hard times.
The present trouble is deeply re-
GREETED by Vermonters who under
stand what the company has con-
tended against. In spite OF its en-
it has maintained SER
rice that has been a credit to the
tate. With only scattered CONF
to feed it, the Central has
,een conducted in manner to rival
he best roads OF the country. The
officials, especially Of late, have been
oval TO the peoples interests and
acrificed much for them--a fact
which Vermont will the more appre-
late should foreign or outside COM
,any get control OF the road, which
We hope for the states sake will
lever occur. The Central Vermont
las been Vermont institution and
bsorbed Vermont money and Ver-
mont brains. That it would have
ucceeded were success possible Of at
ainment we firmly believe. We
rnst the present complications will
Don be settled in way favorable to
continuance Of the business by
he late company.

Through the Marsh murder, the
Kelly assault and the Goddard Semi
nary dynamite sensation, Mortified
and Barre have gained considerable
notoriety of late. The worst feature
about these deplorable occurrences is
that in each case the parties concerned
are native Vermonters. The excuse
that "criminal foreigners" are respon-
sible cannot therefore be urged. As
matter of fact there is less difference
in our favor than we commonly sup
pose when the percentage of crime in
Vermont is compared with that of
other states which contain large for
eign element.
