Vermont Savings for Yer.
mont Enterprises

The Springfield (Mass.) Re-
publican, the leading newspaper
of central New England, thus
comments on the policy of the
Hyde Park Savings Bank in
keeping its funds in Vermont:
Vermont's industrial development has been
hindered not only by emigration of people to
the West but by the westward emigration Of
Vermont money for investment When there
fore large growth is reported of Vermont
Bank like the Lamoille County savings and
trust institution at Hyde Park, which has
made it a rule to invest Vermont savings in
Vermont enterprises, the fact is worth re.
cording. This is in the way of standing by
ones own community and people first of all
and il is a policy to be commended every
where and particularly in the hill regions OF
New England, so much of whose life has been
gwen to the development of other sections Of
the country. The directing force of the La
mciIle County Bank is ex-Gov. Carroll s
Page.
This bank pays q per cent. com
pounded semi-annually on depos-
its of S1oo or more, remaining in
the bank one full year.

WHEN DETROIT LOST

Under the above heading a writer in
the DETROIT Saturday Night makes the
following comment
Two material elements are. essential
for the production OF steel--coal and
iron ore, The former existed la Penn
sylvania and West Virginia, the lat
ter. in the upper peninsula. Either the
former must De transported 60 the
north. or the latter TO the east, The
dilemma was solved by bringing the
ore 20 the coal fields. and the steel
business went 10 PittsDurg
IL was Detroit's lost opportunity.
Midway between the iron and the
coal mines, the best narbor ON the
lakes, the home Of many factories con
suming iron and steel products, IA
little enterprise on the part OF her
capitalists, would have made Detroit,
Instead OF Pittsburg, the center OF the
steel industry Within the last decade,
however the stupor OF indifference
seems 20 have been listed from the
minds of our men OF money, and il is
10 be hoped that "A vigorous campaign
NAV be inaugurated. 10 secure 20 rs "a
fair portion OF this important business.
So Detroit is waking up Well,
well But will her waking at this late
day avail her anythingY
Not alone has she lost possession Of
the iron and copper ores Of the upper
peninsula but the millions Of dollars
in trade as well, has she lost While
her merchants and men of money were
turning their noses at the frost bitten
waste above the straits. the merchants
OF Chicago and Milwaukee came ia. as
well as the iron men from the east.
and now the great wholesale trade of
this entire section goes 10 those cen
ters
The railroads OF Wisconsin and IL
linois likewise saw the opportunity and
covered the peninsula with network
OF roads all leading away from Detroit.
II is very questionable if Detroit win
ever be able to regain any appreciable
amount OF the great wealth Of business
that she has lost ana il IL certainty
that she will not IL she persists in the
well defined policy of the past-one of
Legislative and political hostility to the
upper peninsula
