FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1906.
NEW HIGHWAY BILL.

House 457, by Mr.. Carr of st. Johns
bury, for committee on highways and
bridges, to improve the public roads AND
establish "A state highway commission
(appropriates $50, 900 for improvement
of the highways of the State, and pro-
vides for the appointment by the Gov
ernor of a State highway commission;
commission shall each year appoint SUI
pervisors for each county, at So a day, for
time actually expended Ordered TO lie
and be printed.
In the accounts we get of the bill in
the daily papers, there seems to be little
question in regard to what it is. One
paper states that the Governor is to
appoint commission, and another that
he is to appoint a commissioner But
the general scope of the bill would
appear to be an entire new system, sub
shutting, at least partially, the State for
the Town, not only in the construction
and maintenance of the highways, but
also In their management; and chang
ing the paymaster.
To "a greater or less extent, this might
effect questions as to the use of the high
ways. And this certainly should be very
carefully considered by the Legislature.
We have had occasion before to refer
to the average condition of Vermont
roads. Over most of the State they are
for large part of the year in very good
condition, and fairly satisfactory to all
who use them Some of the clay roads
should be kept in better repair, and some
of them should be macadamized. There
are many places where stone culverts
should be substituted for wooden ones,
and thoroughly built stone abutments for
poor ones.
No doubt state administration might
accomplish such results better than the
present one, if they would confine them
principally, perhaps, through the eX-
penditure of larger amount of money
But the most important thing at thi,
time, by far the most important, is t,
arrange for the safety of the highways
from the scourge of automobiles. All
other questions in regard to them are
trivial. Let the Legislature report bill
which will protect the people of Vermont
in the safe use of their highways. Better
a thousand times the highways which
we have, and are accustomed to, than nc
highways at all, or none that we dare
to use.

TO PROTECT SHEEP
The Defeat of Hearst.

The plurality of $4,000, by which
Hughes is elected governor of New York
says the st. Adams Messenger while not
las wide as a church door nor as deep as
WE'LL will serve. 1t at least keeps out
of the gubernatorial chair man whose
fitness for the position is open to ques-
ton, and it rebukes, even if not SO
severely as many wished. the kind of
campaign that is not good for state or
nation. Mr.. Hearst may still nurture
the presidential bee in his own particu-
lar hive. but the development of the
insect is very effectively retarded by the
verdict of the people. 1t would have
been an easy step from the capitol at
Albany to a strong position in the next
Democratic national convention: it is
quite different stride from one or a
dozen newspapers. We imagine that Mr..
Bryan will view the result with a
chastened spirit and an unrufiled equa,
nimity.
Charles E Hughes will make an ad-
mirable governor of great state. His
record and his personal qualities are evil
dence enough of that. He will be nc
mans man and he will respect the rights
of the people. The poor fiction that he
is corporation servant" will vanish in
the honesty and independence of his ad-
ministration. New York has chosen
WELL and the rest of the country APP
plauds her decision.

Patriotic Sentiment.

The inordinate love of the dollar
too often makes men unpatriotic and
disloyal to the town and community
in which they live. To save little
money they will send away from
home for supplies, refuse to patronize
their neighbors, refuse a dollah to-
wards public Improvements in their
own town, beIittle and degrade home
enterprise, and yet be the first to ad
vance the price of their property as
result of the patient, self-sacrifc-
ing work OF others. Loyalty to your
own town is just as commendable
type of patriotism as one can find,
and no matter how much your pat
riotism boils over on the Fourth of
July in a general way, if you are dis-s
loyal in. little things to your own
town you are poor citizen of re-
public; you are like him who makes
long prayers in the church and jaws
his wife and neglects his children at
home.-Joe Twigg

125 Teams at This End and
800 Working at SWink End
A Serious Situation.

Colorado is the fountainhead of the
water supply of the arid region. Its
rivers flow, says Rocky Ford Ga
zette, to other states from all four
sides. Thru these waterways not only
the ordinary flow is taken from us,
but thru these same channels our
food waters are being appropriated
for other states Hon A. E Bent in
a recent speech said:
"A conservative estimate of the
amount of water now annually pass
ing out of the state, based upon
gage readings, taken at or near the
state line on eleven streams, amounts
to seven million acre feet, the value
of which computed at the actual av-
erage selling price of reservoir water
IN portions of Colorado amounts TO
$375,ooo,ooo or $25,ooo,ooo more than
the assessed valuation of the state"
The serious feature of this is that
the right to this water is rapidly 60
ing by one means or another to dis
tant states. Unless the state or pri-
vate enterprise constructs reservoirs
to store our food waters there is
grave danger that the agricultural de-
velopment of the state will be brought
Sto standstll within few years.

WORK MAY BE
DISCONTINUED
At This End Unless Those PROMISING
Rishtofway Keep Faith by Deliver.
ind Same.

Work oh the Holly & Swink
railroad at this end has been going
ahead with about 125 teams this
week, but there is some likelihood
that the work may be called off in
the Amityville district on account
of the reserve with which those
owning property there are granting
rightofway.
Manager Wiley is just as en-
phatic now as ever in stating that
I'VE won't buy foot of rightof-
way" That settles it. Unless
the farmers quit taking things for
granted when they see few teams
and scrapers at work, going back
on their agreements, they will wait
for convenient means of trans
portation until they see the blum
der they are now making.
Every farmer who hauls beets will
receive more benefit the first year of
the operation of this road than the
value of the rightofway granted.
A business man would not think OF
turning down such Il proposition. Why
should farmer?
