CONGRATULATIONS BARTON.

Two weeks ago the Monitor pub
lished an editorial on the duty of the
voter to go to the polls. We would not
attempt to convey the idea that
this effort produced the desired effect
upon all the voters of Barton, but the
fact that Barton cass the biggest vote
in it's history is a matter of congratula-
tion. The big vote may probably be
laid principally to the three represen-
tative candida!ej, WHO put up reso-
Lutte fighS. But surrounding towns and
towns at distance with more than
three candidates DID not poll so large
a vote in proportion TO their check list
as Barton did. Eighty per cent of Bar
tons voters went to the polls. This
the Monitor claims may be party laid
to the voters themselves, who take a
pride in doing their duty toward their
party. We have to hear of another
town in Vermont casting four out OF
every I've votes in town.
That Barton voters desire to do thei
full duty is shown By the fact that 69l
or SO per cent Of the 704 who votet
for representative voted the stat
ticket. This is a good record.
Another remarkable feature of Bar
tons vote on September 6, is the
fact that only four towns or cite!
cast more republican governor vote!
than Barton. Burlington cast 1887
Rutland 1912, Bennington 754. St
Johnsbury 665 and Barton comes mex
with 629. This gives Barton the fit
greatest delegated strength in Yer
mont in 1912.
Not only this but Barton gave d.
Mead the greatest majority of an
town or city in Vermont. It's major
ity was 566 while that of the ne2
nearest was Rutland with 480 for d.
Mead. Barton is on the map and ma
we'll feel proud of her standing i
the state and Individual voters ma
be congratulated upon their effort
do their duty at the polls. You wer
loyal to your town.

During the past few weeks an area
much larger than the entire state
of Massachusetts, has been burned
over in Montana, Idaho, and Washing
ton. Many millions of dollars worth
of property has been destroyed. This
includes portions of villages. mills,
railroad bridges, camps, buildings
belonging to mines, and thousands of
square miles of forests. In places a
solid wall Of fire twenty-five to fifty
miles long has captured the fugitives.
More than 100 persons are known to
have persisted. Many instances of
splendid heroism are related, women,
themselves battling to save their
homes. The state militia were called
out. Thirty companies of federal
troops were sent to the scene to help
the federal foresters. Much of the
destruction has taken place in the
national forest reserves, which have
been models of wise forethought anC
careful care, but nothing could long
withstand the drought. Besides,
there is evidence of incendiarism.
Our government force of fire-fghters
is far too small, in some cases a sim
gle man being sent to guard a hun
dred thousand acres-hundred and fifty
square miles. In Germany it is sci
dom that single guard has so much
as two thousand acres to cover. This
great national disaster has at las
pointed out a direction for the wis
spending Of more of the nation
money.

Mead's Plurality 1929.

With every town heard from. returns
give DR.. John A. Mead, the governor
elect, lurality of II, 1919. His total
vote is 35, III and Charles D. Watson's
1908. DR.. Mead expresses himself
we'll satisfied with the outcome. He
attributes the great falling off in the
republican vote to four principal
causes: general political unrest
brought about by the tariff revision,
antagonism toward the republican
party in Vermont because of the in
creased valuation of real estate for
purposes of taxation, opposition to the
head of the ticket by heretofore
staunch. straight ticket republicans
and the unfavorable weather of cleo
ton day. Congressman Plumley and
Foster ran ahead of the ticket slightly
while Mead ran slightly behind.

Change in the Fish Laws.

L
Change in the Fish Laws.
Fishermen on the streams the last
days of the open season were shocked
to note the tremendous amount Of
spawn destroyed by the late fishing.
The trout were full of spawn and in
many cases it seemed almost ready for
deposit. 1t is only one more proof of
what the Banner has long contended
that the open season, should begin
earlier and close earlier. The changes
needed in the trout law this year are
first this change in season; second,
permanently close the head streams
and small tributaries where trout
practically never grow to siX-lnch
size, leaving these streams for breed
ing places and nurseries and then al
lowing the taking of trout above I'VE
inches in the main streams; third, the
trout Matched under state directions
should be raised to lingering size
before being put into streams. as fin
gerling trout will live until caught
while trout fry mostly perish after
being put into the stream. --Benning-
ton Banner.
We have caught trout loaded with
spawn even in the spring, and ali
through the summer months. If the
law is to be changed on account OF
spawn, make it unlawful to catch then
the whole year. 1t has got almost tC
/ that now. We agree with the Banner
| that head streams should always be
/ closed, and that the hatcneries shoulC
raise them to lingering size, but tt
make the season shorter on accOun
of spawn is too much. The poacher
catch all the trout anyway, so give
the rest of US some show. EXPIRES

Frank c. Williams.
Hon. F. C. Williams, State banl
commissioner, has just made publ
his official report which will be pre-
sented to the next legislature. TIL
report shows a big increase in BAN
deposits, the exact amount 0elni
81, 49, 25, which is the largest in
crease in any year, save one, in tn
history of the state. The number o
depositors is 1887. An interesting
feature about the statement is tn
fact that 1868 of the depositors ar
non-residents. Mr.. Williams wants t
see an increase of the percentage O
surplus to deposits in the banks unit
it reaches at least ten per cent, an
t to bring this about he advises tina
] the state tax be cut from seven mill
to FIVE mills. and that banks continu
to pay per cent on savings deposit:
The commissioner, it seems, reason
we'll. He argues that nearly all tn
: deposits in the bank are by people c
small means, who would pay pract
cally no taxes upon their savings an
that if the rate Of interest is kept {
. 4 per cent and the state tax reduced
, the gain in deposits would amount t
, enough more to offset the cut in tn
state tax. This much is true; tt
