Isn't II pretty thin argument in favor
of the abolition OF offsets that such a step
will make the state richer a. a taxpaying

for state, municipal and local purposes can
be raised easier:
Where Is the gain coming from!

returned dishonest. fictitious offsets
Such gain, il il could stop there would
be a real one aud welcomed by everybody
But il goes further and includes a. well

pay taxes on the debt

Automobiles in Vermont.

According to statistics furnished by the
secretary of state, there have been 1926
automobile licenses issued since Dec. Is
1907, an increase of 6l2 over the number
issued up to Dec. Is. 1907. Dec. l, 1905
was the end of the first year that auto
mobiles were licensed in this state, and
at that date there had been 5l2 licenses
issued. A new law was made in 1906,
making it necessary to relicense machines,
and Dec. |, 1906, there had been S67 il
censes issued, gain of 355, part of which
were licenses issued under the new law
Dec. Is, 1907, saw 1916 licenses issued, a
gain of 449 during the year. and so far
this year the gain has been 6l2 The deal
ers all over the state are making prepara-
tions for the biggest automobile season in
the history of this state, and have con-
tracted for over double the number or

Renewed activity is being exerted in be-
half of the White Mountain forest reserve
subject which is now pending before the
agricultural committee of the national
house of representatives. For long time
the members of this committee have been
rated as standing 10 to s against the
acknowledgements Haskins, we are
glad to say, being in the minority-but OF
late it has been reported that one and
perhaps two erstwhile opponents of the
bill have changed their minds. This is en-
couraging news to those who realize the
vital necessity of securing the immediate
passage of the measure in order to pre-
vent irreparable damage to the natural re-
sources of this section. The rapidity and
ruthlessness with which the destruction Of
the White Mountain forests is going on is
plainly told in the following paragraph
from the Boston Transcript:
The timber on the high slopes of the
White Mountains will be exhausted in five
years. The method of cutting is the most
wasteful possible, from one to three
fourths of the forest being felled and left
to rot on the ground, in order that the re-
naming sticks, which are above six inches
in diameter, may be more easily removed
over the PROSTATE trunks of their neigh
bors. Fire almost invariably follows, con-
Stunning the soil as well as the debris, and

Ernest Harold Baynes, the naturalist,
has been making careful study of the
evil effects Of the recent drouth on fish
and game in northern Vermont and New
Hampshire and gives to the Boston Trans,
cript the following doleful picture:
OF all the wild creatures that suffered
from the drouth, it is safe to say that the
fish, especially the trout suffered most, lit
erally millions of them persisted owing to
the scarcity of water. First OF all, the
Gradual driving up of the streams crowded
them into more restricted range, where
food became scarce and where they be-
came easy prey to unsportsmanlike usher
men. Thousands of pounds of trout were
DESTROYED in this way. Then in many
cases the very pools to which the trout
had fed for shelter dried up, and the fish
were found dead by hundreds on the stony
bottoms of the brooks. Nor did the trou..
BILE end here The drying up of the head
waters of the streams not only drove the
small fry down into deeper water, where
they became the prey of larger fish, but
DESTROYED much of the spawn, so that 1T
may be long time before the trout brooks
recover from this serious setback.
Fishermen hereabouts are likely to find
when they visit the streams next spring
that the effects of the drouth are worse
even than they expected. If the trout
brooks in this section have not had their
stocks fearfully depleted it will be little
short of miraculous. While the fish-hogs
may have profted to some extent by the
low water, the worst damage has prob
ably come about through the drying up OF
pools and spawning grounds. Streams
which had never been known to fail were
dry for weeks during the late summer
and fall, and as cold weather arrived with
no perceptibe increase in the water sup
ply it is only reasonable to suppose that
many of the trout which survived the
early droNh will be frozen to death dur
ing the winter. Certain it is that small
streams which formerly yielded handsome
strings will have little or nothing with
which to repay the angler for his visit
next spring. The good fishing, if there is
any, will be found in waters of consider
able size.
