and for extra help necessary to keep
up these buildings, enough each year
to pay the interest on $35. O0O. 600. II
onc-half of that $3j. 000. 600 was spent
in the erection of suitable buildings,
every department would be well
housed and ample room would be az.
forded for half a century to come. AS
it is, thousands of government clerks
are compelled to work every day in
unsanitary and often dangerous build
ingS while the general government Is
paying out this enormous annual sum
for rents.
The visitor to Washington only sees
the few big buildings that are the
show places of the city. and he thinks
that they are where all the govern
ment business is Transacted. 1t will
surprise him to learn that a great part
of the work is done in make-shift
buildings. 1t is rather startling to find
out that the treasury department is
scattered about in six buildings; the
wal department in nine buildings; the
post office department in five; the az.
riculturai department in 90; the de-
partment of m and labor in
six; the department Of justice in six
and the district government in nine
buildings. There is an annual outlay
for rent of these buildings of $3.50. 600
and an outlay for extra help, light
and fuel of 1927 900. making a total
annual expense to the government Of
$6i7 900.

and have everything in it just right:
Did you ever count the words in a
column of newspaper? There are
over 1000 words in a column. Sup
pose you sit down and write 1000
words on one subject and another

and gee if it is right easy. Keep that
gait up for month. Then chase a
local item all over town and after
you have secured the facts all right.

hours work that can be read in a
a few seconds. Do this for a dozen
items that seem Insignificant when
printed, but which you know are i'm

you when it is too late to correct them.
Oh yes, it's dead easy to conduct a

Japan is simply itching for another
war. She is picking trouble with the
United States because California
officials provided separate schools for
Jap children instead of schooling
them with native American children.
This action from an outside view
looks like an unwise and uncalled for
move and is resented even by Roose-

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.

There was slim attendance at the
reconvening of tho Legislature at
Montpelier Monday afternoon and
seven bills we're introduced in the
senate and IL ia the house. One of
the house blils calls for board of
FIVE to make plans for Vermont to
enter the tercentenary celebration
near Hampton Roads in Virginia in
1867.
On Tuesday both ouses convened
and did good stroke of business, SO
bills being introduced in the house
and action taken on several others;
and three bills introduced in the
senate and action taken on many
others. Speaker Cheney told the
legislators they must "get busy" if
they adjourn before Thanksgiving
and admonished the committees TO be
prompt with the bills. Important
house bills were: to equahzs taxa
ton; to remove statehouse fence
about the capitol and sell the same: a
bill to create a permanent school
fund, the governor, lieutenant gov
ernor and superintendent of educa-
| ton to be trustees of the fund, and
the income to be used only for school
purposes. Bills of interest in the
senate were: to prohibit expectorat-
ing on sidewalks and in public build
inge; to provide better educational
privileges for children in unorganized
towns and cores. A long time was
spent in the afternoon discussing the
eligibility of fourth-class postmasters
to seat in the house and upon vote
they were not allowed seat by 12s
to 70, the case of Mr.. Hapgood being
left for future discussion, the COM
mittee to which the case was referred
not being ready to report. This
action unseats four members. Speak
or Cheney announced Tuesday an
invitation from the management OF
the Barre railroad to visit the quar-
ries on date convenient to the legis.

accepted the invitation they work on

It does our heart good to see the
matter of a Vermont Improvement
society agitated. Vermont must max Q
herself known, must advertise. 1t Is
no wonder her resources, schools and
attractions are almost unknown.
Take up summer resort directory
and you will see only few scattering
Vermont summer hotels listed, and
those which do appear occupy the
smallest advertising space on the
page. Take up any magazine you
may happen to have, turn TO the
school directory of the August num-
Der and see how many Vermont
schools you ind listed. Probably not
one, while other states occupy pages
perhaps. Look at any agricultural,
scientific or trade paper and see II
YOU can find any of Vermont's pro-
ducts or resources advertised. No.
And so it is no great mystery that
Vermont is still one of the undevel-
oped corners of New England; one
must accidentally stumble onto these
things to know we have them in Yer
mont. And the fact that we have
the goods but are not known proves
the case that there is great future
in store for us, to be brought out by
some just such thing as state devei

When the women of Vermont in
any pronounced degree whatever
demand further municipal suffrage
for women it will be time to agitate
the question and grant the request.
We are informed that the suffrage
association OF Vermont has only about
$50 members and part OF THESE are
men. If this be true it's pretty
strong indication that they don't
want further suffrage. Certainly it
shouldn't be crowded upon them.

They were later taken to the Gregory house where they spent the night, and if they feel well enough may leave town tonight. Anyhow they were intending to leave last night for the south, and only for the accident would probably have done so.
 There was story current last night that there was no headlight burning on the car and that the gong was moi rung. The story about the headlight must have been untrue for a man by the name of Tom Marshall told a re- porter that he witnessed the accident and saw the headlight, and when the motor was reversed the lights were burned out. In respect of the gong. with the two cars passing it is hard to tell wheather it rang or not and whether it did ring or not, would have been all the same to the victims who were alert but mistaken as to there being two cars. And after it became apparent that lives were in danger, the motorman had no time to ring the gong. It was beyond that stage of the proceedings and ne was busy stopping the car.

Evidently they heard the first car. west bound, for they paused minute while it passed then they stepped on the south track in front of the east bound car, no doubt thinking the street was clear, the noise of the two cars mingling as that of one machine. Motorman Crabtree was almost upon tnem when they stepped on the track but his hand was on the motor crank and the brake and he operated both as quickly as he could. It is said by those who witnessed the incident that the stop was amazingly quick, but could not have been quick enough to avoid a collision, though it was so sudden that it played navoc with the electric machinery. The car struck the blind man and knocked hIm ten or twelve feet from the track. His wife was thrown down and rolled under the end of the car. It seemed almost mir acuious that the woman was not ground to pieces, or at least some Of her limbs broken. but when sne was taken from under the car sine was found to be less hurt than her hus- band.

THE WORLDS YORK;
 ARIZONA STORY
The Writers We'll Formed Views of
 Joint Statehood.

The Worlds Work, one of the lead ing magazines of the country. has in it's January number a very interesting aud illustrated article, "The Last of the Territories" While it is quite descriptive of conditions in New Mex iao and Arizona, it deals with the joint statehood question from the point of view of the writer. MT. Nj. G. Cun1iff, v-ho spent considerable time in the territory last fall gathering material fa~ cis article.
 Mir Cunniff begins his story with the arrival of the Tawney party in the ter ritories He was here when the party came and remained for some time af- ter it went away He saw much that | it saw and is of the same opinicn with respect to joint statehood as Taw1ay and his associates.
 The following extract from the ar t.ele ought to be put into the hands of those who think there is no general opposition in Arizona to jointure: "I asked every person I met in New Mex leo and Arizona whether he wished joint statehood. New Mexico was luke

Cunniff further says: "Neith.r territory is the wild waste of cactus grown desert and bare mountain lange dotted here and there with iawlvss mining camps and peopled bv bad men and Jack Hamlin gamblers that fic- tion has painted.

months standing they feel sure that such is the case. Tom Kim who was stabbed was last evening still alive but his recovery was by no means assur- ed. Earlier in the evening on the night the attack was made he with Chung had been playing in one of the Chinese gambling houses and had quarreled but several Chinese who have become more Americanized than others say the quarrel was trumped up for the purpose of securing the pretext for a fight. Chung was arraigned yester- day afternoon before Judge Johnstone and his trial was set for Saturday. Pending trial he is confined in the county jail unable to furnish bail.

STRUCK BY A GAR
 TWO BLIND PERSONS
Though Badly Shaken Neither Were
 Seriously Injured.

There was a marvellous escape from dual street car tragedy last even- ing a little after o'clock at the corner Of Second and Washington streets, and even with all the good luck of the incident, two persons were badly shaken up and pretty badly bruised. though neither was seriously injured.
 The victims were MT. and Mrs. Hin and they are both blind. They have been here but short time and have been making their living by donations of the charitably inclined, the man playing an accOrdian on the street corners and the woman playing a hand organ and singing old and popular songs. It seemed more pitiful that those already unfortunate should be the victims of further trouble, but the nature of their misfortune was the prime cause of il. They did not see the street car and stepped in front of it, and the motorman not knowing that they were blind, was taken by surprise when they did so
 Car No. 15, driven by Motorman Crabtree was going east on the south
