VERMONT MONEY FOR VERMONT
DEVELOPMENT.

The people of Vermont are more and
matter with the Green Mountain State.
For decades we have been wondering
why SO large a part of the sons and
daughters of Vermont found a habita-
tion outside of the state, and why It
was so difficult to secure good openings
for them right at home. We are now
coming to see that in effect we have
been legislating them out of the COM
monwealth. In other words, our laws
regarding taxation and finance have
put a premium upon the development Vt
other sections of the country and we
have seen our sons and daughters hur-
rYing to the very sections which Yer
mont money has been helping to de-
The Vergennes Enterprise speaks Of
enc phase Of this problem as follows:
oklahoma wants Vermont money to
help develop her resources, so she IN
vted a lot of Vermont capitalists and
bank men to visit the new State and
see for themselves how goodly a land
II is. OF course they were given ban
quets and all sorts Of entertainments
TO favorably impress them with the
possibilities OF Oklahoma

As the situation develops, directed
along one well-conceived line by the
President, the hand of Roosevelt be-
comes evident in the present-day pro
gramme of the administration. That
both the recent cabinet appointments
were made by the former President is
tho opinion of political observers.
The correspondent continues:
"Inasmuch as the President cannot
hope to win, election through the list
loss efforts of the regulars, 1T is the
belief that he has turned to the man
who made him the nominee in 1905
and will count upon Roosevelts ac-
tive support for another term.

nominated. All the regulars under

President Mellen Of the New Haven
has suggested plans for the develop
ment of the Champlain valley which
ought to mean much for this whole
region, and he will deserve the hearty
zens in that connection. While we
have taken a pronounced stand re-
garding the independence Of the peo-
pie of Vermont we are ever ready to
recognize genuine merit in any policy
or project indicating a broad policy on
the part of the management Of any
railroad, and President Mellen has
certainly shown that he desires to do
things for the Champlain valley.
