Postal Improyenlants.

The international postal system is
gradually approaching condition which
win leave no inst cause for complaint in
any quarter. The two-cent letter postal
rates already established between the
United States and some foreign countries
have been received with appreciation by
all concerned, and the further extension
Of the agreement by which these rates
were made available may be reasonably
expected.
Now comes another innovation, which,
while it may not Immediately appeal to
- great number of people as does the
reduction of letter postage, will be gen
orally recognized as the entering wedge
to something Of broad application. 1T Ia
the agreement between the post Office
department at Washington and the postal
authorities at Australia. whereby the
weight of pest packages which can be
exchanged between the two countries is
increased from four to eleven pounds.
The postage rate is to be twelve cents
for each pound This agreement, which
will become effective March |, gives ap-
parent promise of general reduction Of
package postal rates--or, more correctly,
Of general increase of privileges be
tween nations.-M Manchester, N. FL,

The business men In our neighbor city
have become imbusd with new pur-
pose to beom the industrial interests Of
their municipality, and they have merged
two mere or less defunct organizations
into one which is to be known as the
Montpelier beard Of trade. AT the rncrg-
or meeting Thursday evening there was
fine spirit in the air which Is thus de-
scfabed BY the Montpelier Argus;
Every man present last night seemed
te be impressed with the same idea, to

the members. Success is what the or

With such enthusiasm to start with,
there ought to be enough left to carry
things through to successful issue, al.
though the hope that within ten years
Montpelier's population viii be 10000 is
perhaps tride extravagant. But allow
ing for whatever excess exuberance that
is likely to GENE vita the conviction eff

is much proahs back Of the new beard

Constitutional Changes Needed.

IT is an admitted fact that some
changes Ia the state constitution are inn
peratively needed This Ii net a ques
ton Of politics, but is necessity brought
about by the economic evolution of the
state. There il plenty of time previous
to the possibility of holding constitu-
tional convention or the advent of the
next legislature to thorou2hly discuss the
obviously necessary changes, and thus
secure a solid and reliable synthesis Of
opinion on what could be done. Such an
initiative should be secured by state wide
debate Of proposed changes, and then
see that the reforms are legally accom-.
plished There should be no uncertainty
or shifting Of responsibility when the
time is ripe to act-Hardwick Gazette.

AUTOMOBILE PRODUCTION.

A trade authority estimates that
mere Will be sold next year in the
United States 100000 automobiles
1t an average price Of $1,000. This
must mean that thousands Of cars
will be sold at less than $1,000.
Then one family In every forty will
aave motor car next year; there
Will be one car to every 200 Of the
population, and this estimate will
not include the retention Of old cars
IN service. Equally significant is the
estimate that 5000 business cars
viii be built for next years trade.
The number looks small in comDar-
ison with anticipations OF pleasure
cars, but the business cars are not
subject to such variations in style
and the fancy Of the owners is the
pleasure vehicle, and averages a.
longer life. But q small percentage
OF the 5000 business cars to be built
will retire cars now In use. The fig
ures indicate q practically absolute
Increase Of motor cars used In bus
