The President and Congress.


The announcement from Washington
that Congress is likely to do little except
pass the necessary appropriation bills
at this session is not very reassur-
ing to those who desire the continu-
alton of republican control in this
country. There are so many issues be-
fore the country today that need prompt
attention that it hardly seems possible
the members of Congress intend to
ignore them and appeal to the country
for its endorsement until something
more has been accomplished. To adj
journ without responding to some of the
suggestions of Pres. Taft sls to legisla-
ton needed will be sure to leave him in a
very embarrassing position. His admin
istration is passing through a critical
period. He has done what he could to
redeem his promise of a speedy revision
of the tariff but the forces of Aldrich and
Cannon were so successful in protecting
the interests they wished to protect that
the president has won but little popular
strength in the results.
The president is advocating other leg
islation that would increase his popular
power Here are some of the things he
wants accomplished. He wants a rate
law passed that will give the Interstate
Commerce commission power to fix
rates on it's own initiative after an inves-
tigation; special federal court created
to hear and determine cases in which in
terstate commerce is involved; telephone
and telegraph companies to be designat-
ed as common carriers and subject to
their regulations the commission to be
given power to prescribe rules by
which shippers may designate the route
over which their goods shall be shipped;
and the stock holdings of railroads
limited so to promote competition.
The president also believes the time
has come for definite legislation to
secure the conservation of natural re-
sources. He would have Congress pass
a law that will enable the executive
power to allot public lands containing
water power sites, coal and phosphate
deposits under regulations that will pre-
vent a monopoly of these natural re-
sources and an unreasonably high price
charged for them. These lands have
been temporarily withdrawn from entry
under the general land laws but they
cannot be held that way indefinitely.
Nor is it desirable to keep them from
settlement. If they could be leased or
granted under proper restrictions the
power or IT, fuel could be used to great
advantage in the development of the
region around them.
1t will be remembered that in his regu-
lar message to Congress the president
called for legislation on other live and
impol .ant subjects. Some of these
things if enacted into law would go far
towards strengthening the Taft admins
tration. Congress should respond to
his requests if it means to treat him
fairly. fit hopes for any satisfactory
degree of success in the coming elections
it should make some progress in the
directions demanded by the p-'blic. In
telligent and faithful action will
strengthen the congressmen's fences
much more effectively than early adj
journment and personal excuses through
the coming campaign.

Good Roads Movement.
Some Practical and Helpful Sug-
geSti0nS to VermOnterS-Keep
the Water Off the Top and
From Underneath
Roads.
Editor of The CALEDoNIAN:


The enclosed extracts taken from a
paper in annals of the American
Academy of Political and Social Science
on good roads will think interest many
of your readers and may be productive
of some good.
The question of macadam roads is
settled SO far as this state is concerned,
by the first cost and by the cost of up
keep, and a macadam road in bad con-
dition is the worst imaginable. Auto
mobiles are particularly hard on maca-
dam roads, sucking out the binding, and
not grinding up the surface stones to
make more.
Sand and clay roads, gravel roads, and
dirt roads such as we have in this
section make as good roads as we
want. One paper in commenting on
gravel roads made the remark that we
wanted a more solid material. Gravel
is simply crushed or ground stone, and
gravel that will bind can be made as
compact as the surface of macadam, and
besides the surface can be worn down
two or three inches and yet the road
be good if properly looked after.
With the Kansas road drag the cost is
small of keeping sand, clay, gravel, or
dirt roads in good condition providing
the water is kept out from under and off
through this section knows that there
are long stretches of our ordinary roads,
little cared for, that are always good.
The motto for all, in respect to roads
should be:
Take the water from under and keep it
off the top.
This suggests another thing.
Our bad roads in the spring are due
for the most part to the Outlying caused
by the melting snow making a water
course of the road. The worn hard road
being the only way the water can get
away. If our road commissioners and
our farmers would whenever the snow
is melting and running off, give a bit of
attention to this and turn the water off
the road, or make a furrow or ditch on
the side of the road through the deep
soft snow, nine tenths of the damage
could be prevented and it would require
a little work. A man with hoe could
keep miles all right, or if the farmer
living along side would give an OCCASION
al half hour much could be done. Let
every one during the melting time carry
a hoe with them and whenever they see
the water eating out the road surface
turn it off. The time lost then would be
for more than saved by the comfort and
convenience of passable road in the
spring,
Very sincerely,
GOOD ROADS.

The three druggists of Rutland who
were convicted in the September term OF
County court and fined for selling liquor
contrary to law have just had their
licenses revoked by the board of alder
men. This delay in enforcing the law on
the part of politicians discredits the
claim of the advocates of the present law
that it would enforce itself. 1t also dis
credits to much greater degree the
aldermen who attempted to shirk their
responsibility in the matter.

The Rutland Herald's discussion OF
teachers wages has drawn lengthy re-
ply from Miss Rose Lucia of Montpelier
in which she holds the school boards
responsible for the employment of a
cheap class of teachers. Some of her
points are well taken but we are inclined
more liberal if they felt the voters would
not throw them out of office as soon as
they reported an increase in school ex-
penSeS.

Our Great FIJI e Losses.

The Importance of conserving our
buildings as we'll as natural resources is
shown by the statements of William H.
To1man, director of the New York mu-
scum of safety and sanitary appliances
at a recent banquet of the directors of
that organization. He said that in
1907 the fire loss in America was $2.5S
per capita. in Europe only As cents per
capita. The total fire loss for America
that year was $215, 100000 and the
cost of maintaining fire departments
would bring the total cost of fires up to
$500, 100000. If safety devices were
used here as generally as in Europe,
there would be an annual saving of
$36O,OOO,0OO, enough as Mr.. Tolman
put it, "to build Panama canal every
year."
A yearly saving of $3.50, 100000
would pay the interest on an immense
amount of money expended in better
protected buildings and at the same
time effect greater saving in building
material. Americans have great deal
to learn from the older nations in the
matter of building for economy and en-
durance.
A New Hampshire paper says that it
is estimated over 5000 people came to
Manchester to attend the State Grange
there and that they left with the mer-
chants of Manchester over 100000.
This shows the value of large conven-
ton to the business men of any place.
The first requisite for a village or city to
attract conventions is good and ample
hotel accommodations. There are sew
era1 Vermont organizations which would
like to meet in different sections of the
state if they could get hotel accommoda-
tons. These facts should give the bust
ness men of st. Johnsbury keen inter
est in the project to build a new hotel
here
