A WASTE OF MONEY.

If the Vermont legislature were in
session at the present time, it probably
would be confronted by an urgent invita-
tion to appropriate $4,000 or perhaps
$4,000 for state exhibit at the Alaska
Yuken-P Pacific exposition which is being
prepared at Seattle, Wash. Other
states have received their invitations to
contribute something or other to this
purpose, and their legislatures are now
debating the adyisability Of the appropri-
alton. For instance, Massachusetts,
which heretofore has been foremost il
this state representation movement at
the various expositions which have
sprung up in Eastern cities within the
last quarter Of a century, is celebrating
bill to spend $4,000 for the Seattle
show. A strong opposition to the pro-
posal has sprung up, and it seems more
than likely that the Seattle show will
not receive the state support of Massa-
chusetts, The main argument against
the appropriation is, Of course, that it
brings little or no material good to a
state to construct state building at
considerable expense, especially in so far
away place as Seattle on the Pacific
coast.
Opposed to this is the argument that
state pride will be satisfied if the state
of Massachusetts, is represented in the
exposition; but this sort Of an argument
is very flimsy, if not, indeed, absolutely
ridiculous. How much pride, for exam.
pie, did Vermonters take in their $4,000
bungalow at the recent Jamestown expo.

honest satisfaction over the srepresen-
tation' Of their good old slater Ask
The various Vermonters who visited the
jamestown exposition and see. And even
if Vermonters had been proud of their
showing, this feeling is but fleeting,
eyanescent thing at best; and it leaves
nothing but a depleted poclet-book,
while The exhibit adds comparatively
little to the grandeur Of the bigger show
20 which It is attached.
Another sentiment is well expressed By
the Springfield. Mass, Republican in the
following.
Massachusetts, has been dravz into

but the feeling grows in intelligent quar-.
tiers that such money as is voted for the
benefit OF these affairs is wasted. and
would much better not be appropriated.
These remarks are invited by the fact
that this state is asked to appropriate
$4,000 to be spent at the coming Alaska
Yukon Pacific exposition in Seattle,
Wash. If the manufacturers of this COM
monwealth desire TO display their goods
at this Pacific coast show, they will no
doubt be gladly welcomed and taken care
Of by the exposition people, but there
is no reason under heaven why our legis-
lature should appropriate $4,000, or any
other sum. The need for economy in
state expenditures should be very keenly
felt this year, and this is no time for
fooling away the public money"
Vermont may count herself as ex.
tremely fortunate that her legislature
is not in session now, for If it were It
would most certainly be hesitating over
this matter, as is Massachusetts. We
say this in no i'll win toward the Alaska
Youkon- Pacific exposition, but rather in
the spirit Of self protection.

Rutland, March 25.-Although there

sioner Charles w. Gates of Franklin,
who held a good roads meeting here

that Rutland county is probably the

amount Of money voted this year for
highways in order TO get the benefit Of
the state highway fund. The total
sum appropriated by Rutland county
towns was $3.50 in comparison with
50, 100 last year.

full $500 from the state or road build

In Raleigh, N, c., the close of the
saloons was followed directly by the
close Of the schools, strange as that may
seem; but it is accounted for by the fact
that the schools were partially supported
by the saloons and when the revenues
from the latter were taken away by the
incoming of prohibition, there was no
immediate resource for supporting the
schools. 1t is probable, however, that
things can be eventually adjusted to
suit the new conditions SO that the
money for the support Of the schools
viii be forthcoming from some other
sources, although perhaps at an added
burden Of taxation.

II is undoubtedly true, as the Burling-

Deputy sheriffs in Revolt.

The deputy sheriffs throughout Yer.
mont have made the discovery that
whereas the high sheriffs were nicely
berthed by the recent legislature in the
matter Of salary, they, the deputies, are
left with mighty thin pickings. The
old law provided that sheriffs and depu-
ties should be paid ten cents mile for
travel in serving writs and be allowed
six cents for reading writ and ten
cents the one hundred words for serving
copies. On that basis they made about
seventy.ive cents for each justice writ
and one dollar for each county court

cuts out all fees except the ten cents a
mile for travel, which in no instance

The annual report Of the Sons of Vet
Grams in Vermont shows that the order
is in languishing condition. The de.
cline which has been noticeable in its
ranks several years still continues. There
are now % camps with 657 members, and
the net loss ID membership during the
year was 80. The interest of the public
at present centers in the veterans, not
in their sons, but the time will come
when the descendants Of the soldiers
of the Civil war viii form the great
patriotic organization of the country.
