A TARIFF COMMISSION NECESSARY

Oh, f. Miles, In Success Magazine'O
The machinery for making tariffs is
entirely inadequate and wrong. There
must be constituted tariff commission
SUCH as obtains in all other advanced
civilized countries. This commission must
devote its entire time. in the most high
minded impartial. non political way, to
the disclosure OF all facts and evidence
bearing upon every industry that seeks
protection. Not alone talk, but books of
cost, and the minutiae of evidence, inter-
nal and external, must be produced.
Power to compel the submis-
SION or testimony must be given
the commission. The interests not only
of thosl who wish protection, but also OF
the countless millions who go about their
daily affairs, not Immediately and per-
sonally concerned In individual schedules.
must be safeguarded and fully protected.
So there will be developed a series Of
schedules that correctly measure all DIFF
ferences and nll requirements. All inter-
ests Will DO helped. none WranSad>

ARBOR DAY THOUGHTS.

The necessity OF conserving our forest
growth is being forced upon the attention
of the public IN variety OF ways. the
drying up OF our streams, the scarcity
and high price OF lumber. and In other
ways. In this connection the Montpelier
Journal inquiries whether the reader has
ever thought that the observance Of ar
Dor day, and the way It Is observed will
have an influence on the forestry legls-
Iation of the future, and not far distant
future either. that 1t will also have
tendency to eliminate the necessity OF
legislation. The idea Is embodied in the
proclamation OF Governor Proctor which
breathes the following noble spirit
1.-THE day should not be observed as
n manner that our people especially our
girls and boys. shall gain a fuller know
ledge and higher appreciation of the
aesthetic and practical value of trees
and tree culture. There Is an especial
demand for this knowledge and Its ap-
plication in Vermont. when Is dependent

VERMONT TS AN EXAMPLE,
(From the Rutland NewsJ

Secretary of Agriculture James VII
son revealed the true cause of the
decadence Of interest in farm life
among the young men when. in an ad.
dress at Washington, u c.. he made
a plea for the institution Of instruc-
ton In scientific agriculture so that
farm pursuits could be made to re-
turn ample financial rewards. His
opinion that the farm is forsaken
mainly for the reason that hard work
Is not properly rccompensed Is In ac.
cord win the expressions of the
young mon who seck gainful occupa-
lions in the city in preference to taxi
Ing up the work Of their fathers.
Farm life has been revolutionizcd
by improvements in transit facilities
and by case of communication
wrought by the Institution Of the FREQ
delivery mail service and the intro
duction of the telephone. So far as
social life Is concerned there is n vast
difference between the country life o,
the present and that of the past. when
farmers were isolated during long in
tervals. and intercourse between
neighbors was restricted because of
bad roads. All that is now necessary
is to teach young men how 10 make
farming pay, and in the course ii
time TIE agricultural sections of the
country viii be peopled by young
men full Of enterprise and Energy.
The state Of Vermont has for some
years past been working with good
results plong the line of effort advo.
Gated by Secretary Wilson in his
Washington address. Farmers tnsti
tutos have been held in the various
counties. and progressive agriculture
lists have exchanged views based upor
the teachings of experience. These
aSsemblages have also been addressed
by agricultural scientists
In addition to instruction Of this
home variety there has been acricul
tural instruction at the University of
Vermont in long and short courses
on farming. The short courses are
arranged for the winter months. Sc
that young men can attend the uni.
F"rSity for a few weeks each yea,
at time when activity on the farm
IS limited to the care of the stock
me results of this instruction near
AT nome. and at the university have
been realized in improved and more
profitable methods. Scientific instruc-
ton has been particularly fruitful in
dairying, which Is now a highly nrof.
liable occupation.

THE LATE -SOVT SEASON.
(From the Brattloboro Roforme,

(From the Brattloboro Reformer)
Perusal of our lament on the late omen.
ing Of the trout season leads the Yer.
gennes Enterprise to suggest that tn.
next LEGISLATURE SO arrange matters thai
Windham county be allowed to make its
own fish, game and other laws. thereby
satisfying the sportsmen hereabouts and
giving a greater degree OF peace to the
rest of the State. Tucked away in this
sarcastic allustion to our dissatisfaction
over the existing trout law is a kernel
OF sound reason. Why shouldn't there
be local option in the matter of fish and
game legislation as well as on the LIQUOR
question? incidentally we might add
that the open season for trout began
April In Connecticut. New Hampshire
and New Jersey. April Ia In Massa-
Michigan. Minnesota. Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Wisconsin and April 16
in New York. The sportsmen in these
States probably realize that It is dis
astrous to the trout to delay the begin
ming OF the open season until conditions
are such that the fish can all be caught
In the first few days.
