THE U. S. DEPOSIT FUND.

Towns are already beginning to re-
pay to the state their holdings of
United States deposit money, under
the act passed at the recent session.
The act does not compel this, except
in the relatively few cases where the
fund has been loaned to persons or
concerns other than the town itself,
when the fund must be collected and
turned over to the state during the
present year. Where the towns have
loaned the money to themselves, they
m " continue to do so, but the inter-
est, instead OF being paid to and used
by the town for school purposes, must
hereafter be paid into the state treas
ury, and divided back among the
towns as is the other income from the
newly created permanent public school
fund made up of the Civil war claims
payment, the Huntington fund and the
United States deposit money.
The total fund thus assembled
amounts to nearly a million and a
quarter dollars, and the annual income
will be in the vicinity OF 500, 600
This latter is to be divided among the
several cities and towns of the state
excepting $4,000 which is divided
on the same scale, based on rate of
+ school taxes raised, as the Sl5, 900 re-
served from the state school tax fund
is divided) according to the number of
legal schools maintained, as such
schools are defined b. the statute.
Inasmuch as the division of the
Huntington fund and the deposit
money has heretofore been made
among the towns on the basis of rela-
tive population, it can be understood
how great boon this new division
will be to the small towns, with high
tax rates, maintaining large number
of schools. The cities and towns with

A good deal OF speculation was in
dulged in yesterday as to the presence
in this city of Allen NJ. Fletcher OF
Caveadish, who was in town to look
after his interests. Various reasons
were advanced, but no one had any
definite information as to his visit, as
tar as could be learned Montpelier
Argus.
Mr.. Fletcher should wear a placard,
when he ventures outside Cavendish,
giving tull particulars as to why he
appears in this or that town, so as to
allay the "speculation" bound to
follow. If it is his purpose to burglar
ize the postollice, or rob the auto
matte weighing machines, or do any
other dire deed, he should not fail to
specify in order that "defnite infor-
nation as to his visit may not be
lacking. Fletcher, it seems, is sus-
plcious person and ought to give bonds
to keep the peace.

large population and concentrated
schools will be the losers,
The purpose of the change is to
equalize the school burden and school
advantages, II, by means OF this
fund, and its division as here pro-
ylded, the small towns are enabled to
improve their schools, by having more
money available without taxing them
selves to get it, the cad will have been
accomplished, Ii not, different dis
position OF division will be demanded.
OF the benefit OF having such u public
fund there can be no question.
The rate OF interest that towns must
pay to the state when they continue to
hold the United States deposit fund for
their own uses is liked at live per cent,
II is likely that many, perhaps most,
towns will lind 1t advisable to pay OH
this lOan-iOr il was loan originally,
IRON the state to the towns-rather
than meet this rate OF interest. Most
towns can borrow at less than five per
cent and pay the principal, thus saving
something, even ii they are not pre-
pared to raise the money by taxation,
The practice in towns which loaned or
used the deposit money themselves has
been merely to transfer the interest,
so-called, from the general account to
the school fund-a sort of swapping
money from one pocket to the other
proceeding, Now the fund will bear
its true aspect-that Ola loan from the
stlte to the town, which, ii continued,
b ,ars interest to the lender, but may
b, repaid at option OF the borrower at
any time, in which case it goes into
the general fund, where its income is
devoted to the same purposes as be-
fore.

sueh other country or from such IN
sular possessions or from the canal
zone,
Although by its wording this pro-
vision is general and might be applied
to the influx of any particular class
that threatened TO disturb labor con
ditions, il is well understood that It's
present purpose is to limit or prevent
altogether the coming to this country
of japanese coolies or laborers, either
directly from Japan or from our out
lying possessions or the Panama canal
zone. 1t will be noted that the power
TO apply exclusion is left discretionary
with the president, Such weight OF
authority, vested in one man. Is quite
extraordinary, and under normal con-
dtlons Congress would be 10th to
confer il. One can readily see how
it might be abused; also how trouble
some its enforcement might prove,
were the labor unions TO urge wide
and general application of it,
1t is supposed that Japan has been
sounded, aud that President Roose-
welt has assurances that she will not
view the step with displeasure. She
may be willing to subject her coolle
class to probable exclusion in return
tor the admission to the public schools
of San Francisco OF less than hun
dred pupils, for that is what II
amounts to. We confess TO some
surprise over this attitude on her part,
Either Japan takes the occasion
offered to save her lace In the
school matter, or she is drawing a
gold brick. She certainly loses more
than she gains by the deal, while the
Caliornians secure what they really
wanted-the immediate stopping OF
coohe immigration. II the president
should not soon put an end to it, the
Cautornmus, under the preteXt of a
breach of faith by him, would again
shut out the japanese pupils and force
a crisis
We trust this reputed settlement
will prove to be OF a lasting nature,
but it seems likely to contain within
itself the seeds of dissensi0n, unless
Japan really consents to the ignominy
OF having her citizens barred out OF
this country whenever it appears to
the president that they are coming
/ here to the dctrimcnt of labor condi-
tions, She can hardly expect, if she
is in full possession OF the facts, that,
under this act, her citizens will not be

Will she be likely to permit it without

abide by it, but tins is so at odds with
