yided in the Vermont law Compared
with the burden which the railroad and
the state have to pay, the purely local
assessment Is very light indeed. In fact,
II the proportion were TO be changed at
all, IL would seem more reasonable to
add TO the percentage which the town
or city has to pay and to reduce the
states proportion But the proportion
already established has been found to
work well in Vermont and without great
objection from the towns and cities
Massachusetts towns and cities are, as
rule, richer than the local communi.
ties in Vermont and are in better posi-
ton to pay ten per cent. assessment,
Hence, il does seem that the towns and
cities there are trying to dodge their
responsibility in the bill which has al
ready passed the House and gone to the
Senate for concurrence.

The Cooks Of Yesterday.

We've had Irish cooks and German,

We've had husky cooks from Norway,
And of eolored cooks a few;
We've had Swedish cooks and Danish,
We've had cooks from every cline;
Yet they rarely stay season
Always leave before their time.

SHARING EXPENSE OF GRADE
CROSSING CHANGES.


An effort is being made in the Massa-
chusetts legislature to pass a bill which
would exempt cities and towns from all
assessment in the matter Of abolishing
railroad grade crossings, 1t being pro-
posed to divide the towns share between
the railroad company and the state. To
exempt the cities and towns from all
expense does not seem to be right, since
the cities and towns are certainly the
gamers from having danger points re-
moved; the abolishing of grade crossings
is more or less of local betterment,
and as such should be shared by the
smaller unit of population. Heretofore
and for twenty-one years Massachusetts,
has had a law which apportions the as
sessment among three corporations,
just as the Vermont law does, the rail
road being made to pay sixty-fye per-
cent. the state twenty five per cent. and
the town or city ten per cent, the per
centages being identical with those pro

Burlington, like Rutland, will enjoy
higher rate of taxation this year The
rate in the city by the lake was jumped
from Sl70 to SlT5, while that in Rut-
land went from SLIGO to $3.50. Bur
lington has our sympathy and will par
don the observation that life in Rut
land this year is worth officially just
five points more than it is in the Queen
city.-Rutland News.
Several Vermont municipalities have
been adding to their rate Of taxation
during recent years; but that is not par
ticularly surprising since they have en-.
joyed very low rates heretofore and have
not been beset with demands for large
expenditures At the same time, there
is need for careful supervision Of ex-
pense accounts to avoid the necessity
of further increase Many commu-
nifty gets careless of this matter because
of long periods OF low tax rates with
the attendant feeling of security. The
tendency is toward extravaganza always.

Conservation Of awhite coal.g


The Free Press yesterday emphasized
the possibilities OF creating numerous ar
tifcial lakes after the manner OF Lake
Lamoille and Lake MansiiaAi for the de-
velopment Of water power as well "a
the attraction Of tourists by fishing ia.
oilities afforded 1t may be helpful in
connection to note what our neighbors
of the Empire state are doing in the
matter OF water power,
State ownership and control of its
water power, with short term leases to
power users at annual rentals, are fa-
vored BY Governor Dix, and he has so
informed the legislators who are draft
ing the bill providing for state con-
servation commission.
Governor Dix argues that, with the
completion of the enlargement Of the
Erie and Champlain canals, New York
state will offer cheap transportation ia
cilities, and in order to attract man
ufacturers from outside the state, should
sell power at as low figure as Is deemed
advisable. Some legislators have
thought the power ought to be leased
to the highest bidder.
The governor is of the opinion that
the leases should run from ten to TWEEN
ty years, but that the state should hold
the water power rights in perpetuity.
1t will probably be a long time be.
fore Vermont comes to seriously consider
state protection of water power, owing
to the almost unlimited opportunities
for creating artificial lakes as vast stor-
age reservoirs What we need to do is
to enact whatever legislation is neces-
sary to encourage the creating of such
storehouses of white coal as feeders for
our streams, Burlington Free Press.

Architect Lindl Makes Plans
for Many Changes in the
Hotel Eichelman
MAKE HOSTtLRY MORE MODERN

Architect Joseph Lindl is drawing
plans for a remodeling of the Hotel
Eichelman which is to be started at
once and which when completed will
make the hotel one of the best to be
found in this section of the state. The
plumbing in the entire hotel will be
gone over and running water will be
placed In every guest room while six
new bath rooms will be added. The
plans provide for complete re-
decoration of the hotel and many
changes will be made to add to the
comfort of the guests of the hotel.
Theodore Borup, the new manager Of
the hotel, is planning to do everything
to make the hotel up to date and pop:
ular with the travelling public. To this
end the rooms will be refurnished and
be made more modern. Old furniture
that has been in the hotel for wears
will be discarded to make room for new
furniture in keeping with an up to date
and modern hostelry. The electric wir-
ing in the building will all be changed
about so as to make it perfectly safe
and so as to furnish the best possible
lights for the guest rooms and other
departments of the hotel. There will
be one innovation that will be large
room for the use of jurors who may be
sitting in the circuit and municipal
courts. This room will have its own
toilet rooms and possibly dining room
where the jurors can be taken care of
without having them come into con-
tact with the other guests of the hotel.
The need of such room has long been
felt in Kenosha.
The work of remodeling the hotel
will be started just as soon as the
plans are completed and it is expected
that it viii be completed early in the
summer.

HAY AND FORAGE HAVE BIG LEAD
Corn Acreage Shows Slight Falling Off
but General Crop Conditions are
Declared to be the Best in the His
tory of the State.

Crop statistics for the state of Wis
consin, for the calendar year 1909, col
lected at the thirteenth decennial
United States census, April Is, 1910,
are contained in a statement issued
by Acting Census Director Falkner.
The information is drawn from the
forthcoming Wisconsin agricultural bull
letin and is issued in preliminary form
in pursuance of the bureau s policy to
place the public in possession of the
more important results of the recent
census as soon as the tabulations are
available for use. The statement was
prepared under the supervision of DR..
LIE Grand Powers, chief statistician for
agriculture, and, following the pubica-
ton of the bulletin, the data already
published, together with additional in
formation, will be embodied in COM
pendulum for the state and the final
thirteenth census reports. This sum-
mary completes the advance series of
press articles on Wisconsin s agricul-
tural statistics: those on general farm
data and on domestic animals having
been given out previously.
