In this same connection are our
railroads doing al they might Do, "
are they following an old rilli Ia The
course of rather limited Western and
southern trips We have noted that even
some Of the small and poorer railroads
there maintain departments Of local
development 10 build ny future bust
ness. These western aud southern
roads work all the time TO bring farm.
ers aud home owners 10 settle along
their line. They seek 10 locate bust
ness enterprises. no matter how small,
knowing that big business usually
starts small
"We don't hear Of our Vermont rail-
roads undertaking anything OF the sort.
They strain every effort for through
traffic and are glad to get what they
can locally but they do mighty little in
building for the future. One bright
man with stenogIapher for assistant
attached to a road like the Rutland or
Central Vermont ought to be able TO
more than pay his way even for the
present and at the same time be con-
stantly building up business that would
be in the nature of permanent invest.
ment for the railroad company.
1.-THE secret OF development is 10
make as much as possible from the re
sources at hand without injury 10 the
sources of supply. Vermont is one OF
the best States in the Union and its
possibilities have been barely touched.
Its future does not depend on its banks,
its railroads, its business men, its far
mers, or any other one class but on all
of them working together toward a def.
mite object. Don't expect too much OF
any one man or any one thing but do
your part and stand by and support
your neighbor who does his. Kick the
chronic knockers and the whining pes
simists into the street and let the
wheels of automobiles or other in.
creasing traffic run over them or allow
the fins Of coming airships TO blow
the into oblivion
This is SO true that we not only re-
print but we also indorse 1t without
reservation and we wish these truths
might be forced upon the attention Of
every Vermontcapltalst aud reiterated
until inattention or Indifference should
no longer be possible.
Let every Vermont journalist. every
asplrant for public office in our State
and livery speaker feel that he is ex-
pected TO emphasize the Importance Of
this issue, until our very bills leecho
the slogan Vermont capital for the
development of Vermont resources. -
