A Governors Road Message.

Smlth, OF vermont, TO the STATE Lege
islature, dealt largely with goodroads.
Their present law, he asserted, is en-
tirely wrong, as over $4,000 are an
nually collected and then distributed
among the towns, to be spent by 245
highway commissioners in repairing
the roads OF their respective towns,
while not cent Of it goes into perma-
nent work or furnishes any lasting
benefit to the State. The money is
spread out SO thin thatitis practically
thrown away. r
The idea of the law was that the
smaller towns would receive from the
State, in the annual distribution, more
than they had paid as their share Of
the tax, but the increase proves to be
too small to be of any material bene-
fit. On the contrary, the small towns
would receive far greater advantages
if the tax were used toward building
permanent roads and they were con-
nected by them with the railways to
which they are obliged to carry their
produce.
Statistics had been prepared by the
Governor "to show the cost Of trans
portation of the products Of Vermont
from various towns which lie away
from the line of the railroads, to the
railroads, as compared with the cost
of transporting the same article from
the railroad to market. From these
statistics it appears that on butter,
lumber, granite, lime, brick, cement
and hay the rate is from $2.50 to 81
per ton by team from the point of
production to the railroad, while the
rate to haul the same articles from the
railroad station to the point of con-
sumption is but from $3.40 down to
$1.66 per ton. In none Of these in
stances does the haul by team exceed
twelve miles; in none Of the instances
is the haul by railroad less than 40
miles.
"The rates by railroads." said the
Governor, twill never. in my judg-
ment, be higher, 50 that whatever can
be saved by improved roads out Of the
cost of teaming these products ought
to go into the pocket Of the producer
of the hay or the butter or the lumber
or granite or whatever is teamed. The
standard authorities give the saving in
cost of teaming over good roads as
compared to ordinary dirt roads to be
from fifty to seventy-fve per cent, SO
that there is from $1.25 to $500 for
every ton of freight teamed to go into
the pocket of the producer in Yer
mont, if only good roads are made
where bad ones now exist"
The Governor therefore urges that
the Massachusetts highway law, mod
fled as required, be adopted in Yer
mont, and that the ta1 of$S6, 900, now
annually collected for road repairs, be
turned over to State highway commits
sioners, who shall control its expendi-
ture under the provisions of law.
In respect to cost of hauling by
team to the railroads, the figures
given by Governor Smith show how
heavily the farmers suffer from bad
roads, not alone in Vermont but in
nearly all States in which similar condi'
tions obtain. New Jersey, Massachu'
sets and New York are working out
remedy for these evils, and the
other States cannot,do better than act
on Governor Smiths suggestion and
follow their examples. A. W.

Where Fish Spend the Winter.

James B. Church, of Tiverton,
Rhode Island, q recognized authority
on fish and their habits, thus writes:
Fish are, except the birds, the best
pilots in the world. Either the birds
or fish know more when asleep about
plotting than man pilot does when
awake. Now, as to the habits Of fish.
They come on the coast in the spring,
when the migratory instinct starts
them out Of their winters sleep. In
winter they are in a dormant state,
like the bear, skunk and woodchuck.
The old theory that fish migrated
south is all wrong Fish simply leave
the coast and go off shore on the
northern edge Of the gulf stream, get
into water Of the right temperature
and go into winter quarters. Before
the time comes for them to start on
their annual pilgrimage for their win
ter quarters they have taken on a
good coat Of fat. It Is under their
skin, and their stomach is lined with
it. and it is also all through their
bodies when they arrive at the spot
that they have selected for their win
ter home. Then there grows over
their eyes a white film, and their vent
closes, and SO they remain until the
time comes for them to start for their
summer home.

Coombs for the position of United States
Court Commissioner. This is an appoint
ment solely in the hands of United States
District Judge de Haven. He may ap-
point as many as he pleases, there being
no salary attached to the office, the emol-
ument of the incumbent being obtained in
fees. 1t is the intention Of the coolie ring,
should Mr.. Foote or any other person re-
ceive the appointment, to bring all their
habeas corpus cases before the new Com
missioner, no matter who he may be.
This is not assuming that Judge F'oote,
If he were appointed, would be more
Ienient toward the immigrants than Judge
Heacock 1t would be simply q measure
of revenge against Judge Heacock for
preventing the Illegal landing of Chinese.
There is no necessity for an additional
Commissioner. Judge Heacock has thirty
cases on his calendar awaiting trial, and
they will be disposed Of whenever the at
torneys are ready to come into court.

has now eleven members and which is
