II Is charged against the American
people that while they are models Of
neatness and order In their homes
they are careless about the appear.
ances OF their streets and other public
places. This charge is too sweeping.
yet IL has much truth in IL. Waste
paper. uncut grass and weeds lessen
the attractiveness of any town. The
real remedy is for citizens to take
the same pride in the appearance ~
their city or village as they take in
their homes. In fact. their city should

Compared with earlier years. the
country Is doing its foreign trade on
much smaller apparent balance. or
surplus, than has been customary.
over against this balance has TO be
charged a variety OF accounts which
have tended TO increase, rather than
decrease, since the fall OF 1907. The
POstOffice Department reports that
international money orders drawn
against the United States, during the
latest fiscal year. were sG6.OOO. 900
greater than foreign money orders in
favor Of the United States. No doubt,
also a vast amount Of the savings of
earlier years OF European immigrants
to the United States were carried or
sent out Of the country during the
fiscal year just closed.
II Europe has been liQuidating Sc
curities bought at lower levels, and
sold during the past six months of
advancing prices. that forms another
account OF considerable proportions To
be charged against our apparent bal
ance. Likewise the tourist travel and
foreign resident remittances have no
doubt maintained their proportion TO
an extent that would help To bring
to quite narrow margin the reduced
surplus. Add further the borrow lngs
OF American banking interests, and
there could not be very many mill
ions left In favor of our national ac-
count.
Meanwhile the gold movement has
shown clearly that the United States
is paying the debts OF Europe in South
American countries by the exporting
OF gold. Crop movements are no
doubt expected TO put a check later
10 this draft on our supply OF gold
But two things will operate TO suspend
that check, for the time being, at
least: Wheat stocks are exceedingly
low at home, so that domestic needs
will absorb by far the greater part
OF the first thirty or sixty days sales.
Secondly. the season Is later than
usual. and that will prolong still more
certainly the movement Of grain in
volume to foreign countries. What
applies TO grain is true OF cotton. Fin
ally. the high level Of prices at home
may check exports. and result in a
slow Outgo OF surplus staples into
foreign trade, The immediate future
is not promising for a better trade bal.
ance. The problem is one which
financial authorities. for reasons of
their own. may well consider in its
existing and prospective form.

During the recent mix-up over the
proposition to remove the Bennington
county court house from Manchester
to Bennington, one newspaper nearby
probably repeated a locally acknowl-
edged truth when it said, las a mat
ter of fact the geographical situation
of the towns mentioned tPeru, WIN
hall and Landgrove) is such that they
ought to be part of Windnam coun-
ty." If we were to go all over 'er-
mont with an eye critical to the dis
covery of other similar situations the
list would be extended beyond the re-
alization of the average stay-at-home
who has given little thought to such
things There is town after town in
Vermont tnat has no village settle
ment within its territory and the in
habitants of which cross the town line
to trade. There is town after town
that lies so desperately close to the
border line of being a mere mountain
side wilderness that its comparatively
few scattered inhabitants have little
or no communal spirit or experimental
knowledge of what the true communal
spirit should be. There is town after
town in Vermont that is situated
where 1t is simply by the force of Of
ten-times blind and undirected circum-
stances of pioneering days and that in
the light of modern conditions never
would have been settled at all. There
are any number of towns off the line
of railroads that should be on the line,
and any number of towns on the line
do ho+ Cd n
survey never would include at all.
OF course, all this does not mean
that the greater part of the state is
a misfit or that any seriously large
fraction of it is. II does mean that
the parcelling of Vermonts area out
into political townships in the olden
days and under primitive conditions
has bequeathed the present genera
ton more trouble and sometimes SER
ious hindrance than many people take
into account. And the worst feature
of it is that a conservative and parti-
ally sentimental attachment to old
time institutions on the part OF some
men and a dominant selfish DISPOSE
ton to get the better of their neigh
bors on the part of others, results in
the retention of the monstrously I'M
just system of town representation in
the legislature whereby these tracts

The Cost of Courts.

Advance sheets of the S2nd Yer
mont report have been sent out, These
advance sheets cover 13 cases heard
by the supreme court and the strik-
ing thing about it is that in 10 OF these
cases the decision of the lower court
is reversed and the cases sent BACK
for retrial while in only three cases
are the findings of the county courts
affirmed. Isn't this rather sharp COM
mentary on the superior judges VINO
preside in the county courts III tney
are wrong in rs per cent OF the cases
that go up to the higher court the nm
alitv of county court verdicts Will be
more questioned than ever. A study
of the supreme court reports lot tne
past two years also shows that tals
court is not overworked. The sup
rene court is now composed of five
Judges who are paid $4,000 per year
each. We do not object to the rate
per year as a Judge of the higher court
should be paid enough TO attract the
best lawyers to the bench but three
Judges can do the little work OF tne
Vermont supreme court just as well
as five and the additional judges are
an expensive luxury that the state
paws for without adequate return
Bennington Banner.
The Herald is a firm believer In the
courts of the state and insists that
they shall at all times. be treated with
respect. The traditions of the state
and the dignity of the judiciary de
mand it. Here, however, is a simple
arithmetical problem:
Five judges, earning a combined sal
airy of $4,000, sit for year and hand
down 10 opinions at cost of s153S.46
per opinion. This may not be high
priced law, in these days of $4,000
| fees, but it certainly seems to dispose
pretty effectively of the cry that the
supreme court of the state is over
worked.
The statement of the Banner that
three judges could as well do the work
as five seems fairly well substantiated
| by these figures. In fact, unless the
Herald is misinformed, a judge Of the
supreme court of the state is on rec
ord with statement that when there
were four judges of the supreme court

THE AUTOMOBILE TAX

"The automobile owners of Vermont
have paid the state a special tax OF
over SIC, 1000 Tnis is an extraordinary
sum to be assessed on a special class
of property owners and is out OF all
proportion to the taxation OF other
personal property in the state, 1t is
almost confessedly an attempt at
class taxation, and commends itself to
the revenue-chasers of the state
because it is easily collected and
comes in the main from people who
can afford to pay an excessive tax.
The redeeming feature is the an
nounced intention of spending the
money on the states highways. '-Rut-
land Herald.
This is a clear appeal to class pre-
JUDGE If ever there was one.
Any man who will stop and do
little figuring can see, if he is not
wilfully blind, that the autos have
only paid fair tax as compared with
other property.
There are over LOO licensed autos
in the state.
If these cost on an average $500
each and were put into the list as
other taxable property is, at two
thirds its cost or actual value, these
would make and aggregate grand list
for the purposes of taxation of some
1892 900.
Take the average tax rate of the
several towns and cities or 200 cents
on the dollar, and it will be seen that
the poor autoists have been the worst

The AbaIone as a Food.

The abalone is clean feeder so
that its flesh is superior In soundness
and wholesomeness to that of the oys-
tiers and other marine creatures which
live near shore in water contaminated
by many impurities. Besides this,
the viscera of these creatures must be
swallowed whole, while those of the
abalone are quite separate from the
muscular or edible part, and can be
cut away by one stroke of knife. The
weight of a fairly large fresh abalone
is two pounds, of which all but a half
pound is good meat, the shell being
highly albuminous, like that of clans,
oysters, Holsters and shell-fish gener>
ally. Albumen is one of the chief ele-
ments of nutrition in milk, cheese,
eggs, etc.
But the flesh, as it comes from the
shell is too tough to be eaten whether
uncooked, boiled, stewed or fried The
toughness used to be partly eliminated
by pounding and hammering it, but
this did not render the meat really
tender. No matter how long it may
be boiled, the fish remains hard. AZ
