The Farmers Indifference.

We publish in another column an
article from the ST. Adams Mes
senger and one from the New Eng
landland Homestead relating to two
subjects of great interest to the
farmer. Either one will create some
indignation but it is doubtful if it
will cause any action on the part of
the class damaged. With the evil
dence that every COW testing asso-
citation formed in Vermont has
brought real benefit to. its members
and the statement that only one
third of the COWS in this state are
of any profit to their owner the great
majority of Vermont farmers refuse
to exert themselves enough to or
ganize such an association. With
the evidence before them that the
middleman gets the lions share of
the final price of the farmers pro-
ducts and the knowledge that CO.
operative effort will enable them to
sell their products direct to the re-
tailers at a better price than they are
getting they still refuse to cooperate.
In these respects at least the
farmers are largely responsible for
their lack of prosperity. No bust
ness man can succeed if he allows
two-thirds of his business to be done
without profit. No man has made
the success he ought to make of his
work until he has secured the best
marketing of his goods. This ap-
plies to the farmer as truly as it does
to the editor or manufacturer but if
he maintains the indifference and in
activity he has in the past he can
not succeed. The question before
the farmers of this section is what
are you going to do about this, cling
to the old methods or act and i'm
prove your conditions.

The Legislature.

We are not in full accord with
some of the Vermont news
papers which have been so insistent
that the legislature adjourn and get
home We believe a large majority
of the members of the legislature
would be very glad to get home and
attend to their private business,
that it would be a distinct financial
advantage to them to do so. This
belief convinces us that the mem
bers are acting from a sense of duty
in remaining at the capital. There
fore the men who are making these
personal sacrifice should have the
sympathy rather than the jibing of
the states leading newspapers.
We do regret however that it is
necessary to prolong the present ses-
sion any further. Three months
seems like ample time for the COM
mittees to give full consideration
to the matters before them and to
enable the average member to de-
eide how he is to vote on all of the
important measures. If they have
made up their minds it should be
short work to finish the business be-
fore that body.

Roosevelt Defined.

EXPIRES. Roosevelt made his
speech as advertised before the
Chamber of Commerce at New
Haven, Conn, last week but did not
make any reference whatever to the
results of the recent elections as it
was predicted he would. We believe
he was wise to keep silent on that
subject. His address was quite in
his former style with a free use of
the personal pronoun I. He thus
defined himself: 81 am radical,
but l am a radical who most earnest
ly desires to see radical program
carried out by conservatives" It
would have been very fitting for him
to add that he was a cordial support
er of Pres. w. H. Taft as he seems
to be the conservative who has been
given radical program to carry out.
At least that is the way we see him.
1t is certain the republican party is
quite radical in its promises and that
the president is conservative man
but willing to redeem the radical
promises of his party. So we think
Roosevelt is really a Taft man but
unable to sink his egotism enough to
speak it out.

debate incident to Senator Cummins'
speech on Tuesday faYoring his
amendment, by joint resolution, to
the rules of the Senate and House,
SO that any particular schedule of
the tariff law might be revised. The
question under discussion, however,
was not tariff revision or the best
method of obtaining it, but, rather,
the propriety of passing a joint reso-
luton which would have the effect
of law calculated to prevent either
house from changing its rules IN this
respect without the consent of the
other. On the face of the reports it
appears that Senators Aldrich and
Lodge would be willing to favor such
a rule for the Senate, but are OPP
posed to circumscribing the action of
the House, especially in view of the
impending change in the political
complexion of that body. 1t would
appear also that Messrs. Aldrich and
Lodge are favorably inclined toward
| the schedule-by-sche plan of re-
vision, although Mr.. Aldrich would
prefer to deal with subjects rather
than with schedules.
AS there is general unanimity of
| opinion on the point that the Cum
Minis amendment cannot carry, this
| phase of the matter may be allowed
/ TO uTOp OUT OIL sight. vi IdI u1OI0 III
portance is the evident change of at
| titude on the part of the republi-
! can leaders toward the whole ques-
ton of revision and toward the
| tariff commission idea. This should
/ compensate Senator Cummins and
his progressive associates for any
| little repulse they may meet with
upon technical grounds.
The truth is, tariff revision along
non-partizan, business-like, common
sense lines is being pressed forward
by the sheer force of public opinion,
and the apparent changes that are
| taking place in the attitude of poll
teal leaders are due more particu-
larly to recognition of this fact than
| to any other cause. In the mean
time it would be mistake to assume
that revision, piecemeal or otherwise
will be hurried. Even when
/ the democrats shall come into con-
troll of the House next winter little
will be done, even in the way OF
schedule revision, unless public
opinion shall spur it on Christian
/ Science Monitor.

the freight together with two freight
cars and the engine of the special
train left the tracks and rolled down
six-foot embankment, the wreck

as the accident occurred outside the

Primary Elections Bin.

The legislature is making progress
on a measure that we hope to see
enacted into law 1t is a primary
elections bill introduced as a sub
stitute by the committee for two bills
that have been introduced into the
house. The bill provides for the
nomination of state, district and
county officers. Primaries for the
September election are to be held
on the second Tuesday in June. Can
didates must file declaration of can
didacy at least thirty days before
primary accompanied by fee of $25
for offices with a salary of $500 or
less, $50 for offices paying more than
$500 and less than $1,000 and 500
for those yielding more than $1,000
annually.
Candidates may be named by petit
ton of voters without payment of
fee. Names of candidates shall be
published by county clerks at least
IL days before primary election is
held, in two newspapers. All can
didates for each party are to be
grouped by themso ives and a separ-
ate ballot printed for each party.
Tickets must be uniform in color
and size and substantially as pre-
pared for a general election. Persons
whose names are entitled to be
placed on the check list at the en-
suing general election are entitled
to vote at a primary and when he
desires to vote shall receive only the
ballot of the party for which he
asks. Primary elections are to be
conducted as required for general
elections. Polls to be open from 2
until p. m. Space is to be provided
on tickets to vote for member of
the party county committee
Party organizations may be re-
tanned for convention purposes but
not to nominate candidates whose
nomination is provided for by the
bill. Candidates who receive a

request to furnish the name and adj
dress of the purchaser. Where is
the commission firm that will adopt
this simple suggestion and place
upon their statement, not only the
price of each article sold, but also
the name and address of the pur-
chaser of said article? I dare say
the first firm adopting this sugges-
ton will revolutionize their business
and attract patronage beyond their
fOndest dreams or expectations.
Farmers need the help of the com
mission men in disposing of their
surplus products. The price will,
in most cases, denote the character
and quality of the goods offered.
Let the purchasers name and adj
dress become the court of last resort.
Commission firms can easily estab-
lish with their patrons a confidence
that does not now exist. In the long
run this would rebound to the profit
as well as the high standing of the
commission trade.-IJ. M. Burton

shall be the party nominee of such
party.
Canvassing of vote for candidates
for state officers and representative
to Congress is to be done by secre-
tary of state superior judge and
chief Judge of Supreme Court and
one citizen from the party casting
the second largest vote at the pre-
ceding general election. Vacancies
can be filled by board. The names
of successful candidates to be
placed on the official ballot and no
others.
This board shall announce the re-
suit, file a certificate with the sec
tary of state and a copy of such
certificate shall be published once
in some newspaper published in
| Montpelier. In case of tie vote
the party committee will determine
the choice.
Strict provisions are made to pre-
vent the improper use of money or
other valuable thing in securing the
nomination. Personal expenses of
the candidate may include travelling
of letters, printing of circulars, ex-
penses for stationery, postage, tele-
graph, telephone and public mes
senger service, and hiring of halls
for public meetings.
No owner or employe of a news
paper or other periodical may ac-
cept any money or other valuable
consideration for advocating the
election or defeat of a candidate at
primary elections but this shall not
prevent the publication of any matter
| not libellous bearing on the election
which is printed under the heading
paid advertisement. A candidate
for nomination under this act not
less than ten days after date of final
election must file a sworn itemized
| statement setting forth his expenses
and the expenses connected with his
candidacy. Failure or refusal to
comply with the provisions of this
act may be punished by fine not
less than twenty-five or more than
$500 or Imprisonment in county jail
not less than 10 days or more than
months or both.
This measure provides three
things that would improve politics in
Vermont, an opportunity for each
voter to express his choice for each
public Office separately, a definition
of what corrupt practices are, publ
city of campaign expenses and a
penalty for violation of these pro-
visions. Possibly a close study of
the bill would reveal some weak
spots that should be remedied but
the enactment of such measure
would go far toward perpetuating
republican rule in the state because
it would show the people that the
party is willing to trust them in the
selection of public officials. The law
works well in other states and
though it will not prove a cure-all
for political ills it is the fairest
method yet devised for selecting can
didates and Vermont should have it.

Value of 1910 Crops.

That nothing short of omniscience
can grasp the value of farm products
of this year" is the way Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson expresses his
feelings when in his annual report,
he estimates the value at $780,
100000. The corn crop of 3,121,-
381, 200 bushels exceeds that of the
record year of 1906 and is IA per
cent larger than the average for the
last five years, but is slightly
under the totals of 1908 and 1909.
In dollars it's value is about
$4,000 1000. The south now
produces third of this
crop. The cotton crop has a
farm value this year of $900,000,-
600, or Is per cent. above the five
year average. The years hay is
worth $720, 100000, also 10 per
cent above the average. The pro-
duction of spring and winter wheat
amounts to 681,767,000 bushels, or
about the five-year average, but it's
value is TO above average, or $685.
of value, or $38O,000,000, IL per
cent above average. Next in line
ranks the potato, preliminary esti-
mates which place the crop at $685.
1877, 700 bushels, or 8 per cent. above
average. Beet sugar values up to
$51, 100000, which with the cane
sugar crop adds up total of $97,-
100000. Tobacco is &c per cent
above average, or 267, 900
pounds, valued at 100000. Bar
ley is little off average, but its
value is higher, with the total of
$27,O0O,O0O. Flaxseed runs up to
$33, 100000, exceeded only in 1909;
rye to $23, 0OO,0O0; rice to $16,O0O,-
600 for a billion-pound crop, rs per
cent above average. Hops went 13
per cent below average. AS remedy
for the high cost of living, Farmer
Wilson suggests that consumers or

Direct Inheritance Tax.

A departure in state taxation is
the bill, probably destined to pass,
taxing direct inheritances of over
$4,000. For ten years Vermont has
levied a tax of five per cent on col
lateral inheritances of over $4,000,
and the revenue has been consider
able, but this direct tax will yield
much more. Like the present one, it
will meet with much objection from
those whom it affects. But it is well
founded in theory, and in line with
the trend in other states. Vermont
must needs develop about all her
available methods of raising re-
venue, if she is to continue her
present basis of expenditure, unless
she turns to direct tax. Personally
we believe in the latter, as check
on extravaganza. But it will only
come when all other sources fail

Theodore N. Vail and the Telephon,

Theodore n. Vail and the Telephone.
In the current issue of Harper's
Weekly the following interesting an
ecdote of Theodore N. Vail, Presi-
dent of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company and of the
Western Union Telegraph Company
is related; being taken from Casson' S
History of the Telephone" When
the telephone was in it's infancy, in
1878, although the practicability of
the new device had been fairly well
demonstrated, the promoters lacked
money and creative and executive
capacity Gardiner G.. Hubbard
solved the problem. One morning
he turned to Watson, an associate,
and said: t'There's a young man in
Washington who can handle this
situation, and l want you to run
down and see what you think of
him." Watson went, reported favor
ably, and in a day or so the young
man received a letter from Hubbard
offering him the position of General
Manager, at salary of thirty-fve
hundred dollars a year. ''We rely
Hubbard said, upon your executive
ability, your fidelity, and unremit-
ting zeal" The young man replied,
in one of those dignifled letters more
usual in the nineteenth than in the
twentieth century. my faith in the
success of the enterprise is such
that l am willing to trust to it, he
wrote, Eand l have confidence
that we shall establish the harmony
and cooperation that is essential
to the success of an enterprise of
this kind" One week later the
young man, Theodore N. Vail, took
his seat as General Manager in a
tiny Office in Reade Street, New
York, and the business began.
