AerieulturaI Extension in vermont.

One OF the matters which may come
up for attention before the state legis-
lature is the Inauguration Of agrieul-
tural extension work in Vermont. BY
agricultural extension, which is q com
paratiyely new term, Ii meant simply an
attempt to help the adult farmer upon
his own farm, to show him by example,
rather than by preoept This movement
has been we'll under way IN many states
for long time. For instance, it has
been in vogue in Maine, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and New York for many
years. II has been found TO be a very
effective means Of bettering agricultural
methods wherever it has been inaugural
ed. Il has been particularly successful
In the south and middle West.
As agricultural extension work has
taken shape in some Of the other states

STERN OBJECTS
 TO TIDEWATER
SECOND WARD ALDERMAN STILL THINKS COMPANY WILL WANT TO CARRY FREIGHT THROUGH THE MAIN STREETS

a.f
 'T do not believe that it is for the best interests of the city to grant tine franchise asked for by the Tidewater Railroad company in it's present form" said Samuel B. Stern, alderman from the Second ward, in discussing this topic.
 Tt appears that the Tidewater people have fully realized that the public at large looks with strong disfavor upon any perpetual grant of a franchise to pub l.c corporation, and they have endeavored to meet the storm of criticism by request ing s9-year grant. To my mind, and to the mind of the average citizen, a 99- year grant is about as near perpetual as anything can be, and this apparent con cession on the part of the company amounts to nothing short of a subterfuge, 'The representatives of the Tidewatcr company have frankly admitted that they cannot guarantee to the council or to the public when, if ever, the lines from Bes- sener to Tuscaloosa and from Gadsden to East Lake will be built. They admit that 1t will be complete business failure to establish the line from East Lake to Gadsden; they admit that their right of way between Bessemer and Tuscaloosa is In such condition that a new right of way must, in all likelihood, be acquired before there can be any thought of con structing this part of the line. So that this results in bringing the undertaking down to the proposition of a line from Bessemer to East Lake, or perhaps, a line from East Lake to about mile be- yond Ensley; or such short distance be- yond Ensley as will be sufficient to car " it out of the corporate limits of

the reins) It has never occurred to them what a very slight tax upon the con- science this thing of drinking is, nor how much slighter especially in this day. in this populous moral desert or human selfshness, is the tax upon the conscience where there is profit"
 They seem to think that because they are virtuous there shall be no more cakes and ale. How pitifully ignorant or human nature! Now it has been suggested that the solution of the difficulty Is high h- cense. and yet this suggestion is made right in the very teeth of the confen- tion that the greatest difficulty to be en- countered was the financial support given to the traffic by the rich brewers and distillers of the country, who, as the ex- pression goes, "staked the game' Advo- cates of high license would no doubt throw around the traffic what they are pleased to call safeguards in the form of most solemn compacts and oaths, fines. penalties and forfeitures against the use of foreign capital, but such would be of small avail. Ulysses, with his wealth tied up with hempen string and sealed with wax, was about as well pro- tected.
 High license is not the solution, but rather no license although the city should receive some revenue from the trade. High license will not stop blind tigers, nor will anything ever destroy that other inheritance of misguided virtue. the pri- yate boarding house beer joint. an insti- tuition which has come to stay, and which, so far as I have ever heard, is peculiar to the city of Birmingham, where oppressive measures have whetted human wit.
 As for regulation, should not this be based rather upon locality than numbers.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-12-21

and should not the streets frequented by the ladies be free from the traffic?
 It has occurred to the writer that the so hard to control seaport and river towns is that there are therein certain localities wherein the liquor business gives but small offense, whereas cities like Birmingham must, by legislation, create such localities. There was less drunkenness in this country when every corner grocery sold wines, liquors and beer than there has been since, and com petition would break down the gilded palace of hell. The business cannot be stopped, nor is any great amount of wisdom needed to convince us of so lit- tie, and the attempt to stop it has not only failed signally, but 1t has given birth to new and monstrous usages. Having made such a dismal failure of our deal ings with the other side of the question, let us stop and consider the purely hu- man side of 1t. And to what an absurd pass we have come when opposing can- ddates for election to executive office are tactly understood to stand for or opposed to the enforcement of the laws. Take away from them absolutely the power to intermeddle with anything oth- CT than the execution of the laws, leaving to the grand juries. the petit juries and the courts the enforcement of the laws. and we will hear no more of this twad- dle.
 Except the education 0s the people to a lively sense of the impossibility of en- forcement of an absurd law, these pro- hibition statutes have accomplished this and no more-simply nothing.

q moment entertain the view that any company could successfully compete in the securing of express or freight service from the merchants of Birmingham if 1t established freight depot in North Bir- mingham or some other suburb alone. This would necessarily result in their asking for a franchise to haul freight or connect their established freight lines with the central depot by hauling freight over the main streets of the city proper. Should this be allowed?
 Another feature which should be care fully weighed is the one permitting four passenger coach trains. It is very easy to imagine the inconvenience and discom- fort to residents along the public streets caused by an electric motor and four large interurban coaches speeding by night And, again, no limit is placed on the number of freight cars which may compose train.
 q believe the franchise should be amended in another particular. The com pany has contended that it is 8 com peting company; has promised to relieve congestion and improve traffic condi- tions. If this is so, then what Is it's ob- lection to the clause which will success fully prevent the competing company from ever controlling 1t? This clause is not a new one; it is contained in our constitution and refers at the present day to telegraph and other corporations, and does not impose any hardship upon the company.
 Tn return for the almost invaluable rights asked for the Tidewater company offers s3o,O0O. Figure it out-$30,000 for 99 years, or about S330 a year for the use of about 29 miles of the city's streets. The mere statement of the figures needs no argument to show how ridiculously low the amount offered is in comparison to the rights petitioned for.
 'The councilmen should carefully weign these and other objections before casting their final vote on the proposition to- night.

Greater Birmingham and thus make it an nterurban line. Taking the statement of the representatives of the company at tfeir full worth, they are not in any po- sition to assert that the Tidewater Rail- road company will connect Birmingham with tidewater and therefore this Is no longer an argument in it's favor.
 "The one argument which the company has left then, is the 5-cent fare to Ems ley. think it is the duty of the city to foster any good enterprise, but the council men should have an eye single to the interests of the city in determin- ing the conditions and regulations which ought to surround the granting of any right which makes possible new enter prise. This matter should be handled as strict business proposition; the bent fit to the city should be weighed against the dangers attendant upon an improvi- dent grant of exceedingly valuable and almost exclusive rights. Therefore, I do not believe that the mere giving Of a J. cent fare should be the sole consideration for the granting of such valuable priv ileges as are asked for by that company.
 'sI do not think it wise policy to per init the use of the public streets by Q freight railroad no other railroad has ever come before this body or its pre- decessors in office and asked for the granting of freight privileges over so many of the necessary thoroughfares of our city for so small consideration, and in fact, no such wholesale grant has been asked for under any consideration Many of our streets are narrow and un- fit for freight traffic, and experience has taught us that when a freight railroad lays its tracks on one of our streets that act is in itself dedication to the rail- road of almost the entire use to the street, for the delay and blockading caused by necessary switching is mat ter of common history.
 ''The company admits that in the near future it will be compelled to establish a central freight depot near the old cor porate limits of the city of Birmingham. This depot must, of course. be so located as to give easy service to the feeders which will go out into the suburbs. Of course no real business man would for
