The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1909-05-21
And Perhaps in Quality.


In reference to the comic opera Pima
fore which was presented at Brattleboro
by local talent Wednesday and Thursday
evenings, it is interesting to note the
marked contrast shown in the way the
Brattleboro people supported this local tai
ent event as compared with the manner
in which Springfield people supported this
same piece when presented here a few
weeks since. The tickets went on sale in
Brattleboro Monday morning. On Mon
day evening some Springfield people desir-
ing to attend the performance in Brattle-
boro attempted to arrange for the pur-
chase of some seats over telephone, and
were informed that every seat in the
house was sold. On the evening Of the
day the tickets for Pinafore went on sale
here in Springfield there were scarcely
100 good seats gone and there were plenty
of good seats to be had the night of the
performance. Quite a difference, is it not?
But perhaps some reader will say, Brattle-
boro is much larger than Springfield. To
be sure she is just about twice as large
and her opera house will seat three times
as many as ours. No, it is not the diff
in the size of the place but the diff
in public spirit and patriotic i'm
pulse.

now as she did two years ago:
A public playground where the spiri'
Of initiative can be nurtured in thu
minds of the young and the enjoyment
of outdoor life encouraged;
A deeper sense of civic pride in the
appearance of various portions of the
town and a consequent elimination of
all eye-sores to the community;
More tenements to accommodate the
steady increase in the towns popula-
tion and facilitate the opportunity for
further growth that is on the way;
Wide publicity for the exceptional
advantages which are available to in
dustries locating in this section, and
further exploitation of the superior at
fractions Brattleboro offers as a sum-
mel resort;
More cooperation in booming the
''15,OO0 in 1885, idea; less strife in
petty affairs whose relation to the gen.
eral welfare of the community is re-
mote; more disinterested endeavor to
improve conditions wherever they can
be improved; less selfshness, a little
more tolerance Of the shortcomings of
our %neighbors, a stronger determination
to make this a. model community in the
sense.

The average number of deaths in Wind
ham county a year from consumption for
each 10000 of population for the FIVE
years period, 1907. was III according
to figures compiled by the state board of
health. Four other counties in the state
had better records than this: Windsor,
112; Lamoille, 10; Addison, 9.S; Essex,
"a. Nine counties showed a higher NOR
tally than ours: Grand Isle, 12.1; Or
leans, 1872; Orange, Is; Caledonia, 1873;
Bennington, 1871; Franklin, 1871; Rutland,
AL; Chittenden, 16.5; Washington, l7.2.
Washington county's %unenviable record is
due no doubt to its extensive granite in
dustry which is frightfully wearing on
lungs, while C~hittenden's stand in second
place may be accounted for perhaps by
the fact hat it contains Burlington. the
largest city of the state. The record of
this county is comparatively a good one,
but in a matter of this kind we cannot
afford to rest upon a comparative show
ing. Our duty will not be finished until
everything possible has been done to re-
duce the mortality from the white plague
to a minimum.

A Sad Commentary.
Termination Rannpr

When Representative Howe of Benning-
ton, introduced in the last legislature a
bill providing for the construction of a
series of trunk line highways up and down
and across the state the measure caused a
bit of interest for the moment but it was
never looked upon seriously by the solons
themselves and died a painless death to-
ward the end of the session. A similar
project came up in New Hampshire this
year, and the legislature appropriated ST.
900, 900 with which to build three trunk
line highways from the southern border
of the state to the White mountains.
Routes for these highways are now being
This piece of New Hampshire enterprise
serves to emphasize anew how far ahead
of us that state is in some things. In
deed, when the highways in question are
completed Vermonters who profit from
the automobile traffic which now trav-
erses the Connecticut valley to and from
the mountain resorts may realize the diff
ference in actual dollars and cents. 1t is
not reasonable to expect that tourists
confronted on the one hand with country
roads and on the other with a stone high
way will hesitate long in choosing their
route. From Greenfield they will be like
ly to bear eastward and strike New
Hampshire thoroughfare wherever it
meets the border line. 1t is far from our
wishes to begrudge our neighbor state the
improvements for which it has provided,
but we can indulge in regrets over Yer
mont's lost opportunity.-Brattleboro Re
former.
And the worst of it is that the money
has been spent or is being spent for pur-
poses that will not do the state one-tenth
of the good that the roads would. New
York on one side of us and New Hamp-
shire on the other are building trunk
line roads right up through the state to
the Canada line. Travel nowadays follows
the line of good roads. Vermont fur
nishes the natural and most attractive
route from New York up through the
Berkshires to the White mountains or to
Canada but will be cut out because of the
shortsightedness of the Vermont legisla-
ture. 1t is, in our opinion, a worse com
mentary on the legislature than many of
the things that have been much more
talked about.

Millionaires and Taxation.
(Springfeld Republican,


For purposes of taxation Edward F.
Searles, multimillionaire, now lives just
over the New Hampshire line instead OF
at Methuen on the Massachusetts side of
the line. But he will no doubt pass about
as much time as heretofore in this state.
He objects to being assessed for taxes on
his large personal estate to the full or APP
proximate value thereof. This is not from
lack of public spirit, apparently, for he
has given large amounts of money to the
Massachusetts town of his residence, and
presents $66, 900 additional as he transfers
his legal residence to another state.
Doubtless he objects to being taxed on
the invisible personal property he pos
sesses in the knowledge that such prop
erty in other hands is seldom reached by
the assessors and never equitably, and in
the further knowledge that the securities
merely represent tangible property which
is under full taxation somewhere. Any
how it is obviously a condition We have to
face here and not tax theories; and the
condition is that the owners of such prop
erty can easily remove it to a more indul-
gent tax locality whenever they are
pressed too closely to suit where they
to have taken a legal residence.
The most we can hope to do in the taxa
ton of paper representing taxed property
S to make the rate very low and invite
he registration of such property for the
over tax. And to do this the state con-
needs amendment. Such an
amendment is now pending in the state
,enate where it does not seem to be find
ng adequate support. Why is this?

When about this time every spring
towns owning road scrapers send them out
to root up turf from the roadsides and
pile it in a long winding line in the cen
ter of the highways the process is called
working the roads" In reality it is the
travelling public who are worked, not the
roads. Properly used, scrapers are of
great assistance to country roads, but as
they are operated hereabouts they are a
curse. If towns owning machines would
sell them and devote their energies to
building even a small amount of substan-
tial gravel road every year a comparatively
short time would see a marked change in
the highways hereabouts. Water-bars and
sod heaps are obsolete in all communities
where road building is pursued according
to modern methods.

Wouldn't it be a happy surprise to dis

merely a clever ruse on the part of the

objected to having the distinguished Ken

An ever-fertile topic for discussion is
why the churches experience so much diff
fculty in attracting and holding new
members. The other day a comparatively
newcomer in town told us that he had at
tended one church every Sunday for prac-
ticallv four months and during that time
had been greeted by only one person. If
there were a saloon in town and the man
had chosen to make a weekly pilgrimage
there instead of to church do you think
the welcome would have been lacking for
so long,

ties call for tenements and none are to be
found. Because there were a couple of
dozen vacant houses in the dull period
NOV passed. we must not forget that if
a dozen or more families were to come to
Brattleboro in the near future they could
find no homes in which to live. We are
all in favor of the bigger, etc, town and
it's coming, coming fast. We need a place
or places where hundreds can get their
meals reasonably, more rooms to sleep in
and more houses for the families that are
constantly arriving. | think an editorial
on the need of more tenements would be
timely"
