paper cannot be charged with neglect
OF duty in preaching these things.
To these truths the people Of Yer
mont should wake up, and the Journal
believes they are waking up. II will
not do to condemn Mr. Rossiter's ar.
gument as false and malicious. Some
of the lessons drawn from 1t have
been unfair and incorrect. but we can
not escape from many Of the facts
brought out. They are unpleasant to
meet, but II is much better to at
tempt to find remedy for unfortun.
ate conditions than to attempt to de-
ny reliable census figures.
Ii is true, unfortunately. that aside
from few manufacturing towns and
cities our state has been losing popu-
lation steadily for many years. This
paper believes that We can change
this condition OF affairs IL we are Will

enthusiasm into developing our abun-
dant resources We cannot do IL, how
ever, by throwing stones at Mr.. Ros-

Would Like to Keep state House

The Journal prints in another col
umn an editorial taken from the New
York Sun of last Thursday. entitled:
Wake Up Vermont" That is not or
iginal advice. but 1t Is good and may
be followed with profit. The occas-
ion for the editorial is the figures CIV
en- in w. S. ROSTERS article relating
to the alleged decadence of our rural
towns.
Mr.. Rossiter's statement that "the
state is still very far from material
or population catastrophe and unGues-
tionably still possesses in her own
people the remedy for many ills" is
quoted with approval and a reference
to the steadily rising value of manu-
featured products and the improve
ment In farm values.
Mr.. Rossiters idea that the inf1u-
entail and able element In the state
should organize and address themsel-
yes with unity, energy, money and
enthusiasm to the task of encourag-
| ing native Americans to settle in the
more fertile areas, should seek out
let's for their products. develop resour-
ces and start new industries" is dir
ectly along the line which the state
board of trade should follow. The
Suns suggestion that only democrats
should be imported is not an original
idea. The St. Adams Messenger has
been arguing for years that Vermont
needs more democrats. No embargo
has been placed on persons OF that
political faith but ii seems impossible
to keep any great number of men
democrats for any great length of
time In this state. II the Sun has
any democrats to spare 1t might send
them along as we have plenty of
room for them.
Unfortunately the Sun does not
shine with a steady light when it ad.
vocates removing the capital to Rut-
land Montpelier was selected be-
cause II is near the geographical cen
ter OF the state. No other city in
Vermont could furnish site for a
state house as convenient to rail-
roads and hotels as the present one.
If, as the Sun suggests, the cows can
look in at the upper windows OF our
state house, it is at least true that
they do not see so many things to
make them blush as they would at
Albany, where the BLACK Horse Cav
airy" and the Grey Wolves" congre-
gate. When Vermont becomes asham-
ed of her hills and seeks to get away
from the shadows and the spirit OF
the Green mountains for place In
which to make laws, her condition
will be far more decadent than Mr.
Rossiter finds 1t today.
II Is true that Vermont needs Inn
proved transportation and the pros
poets for getting 1t are improving. We
are very hopeful that in the near fu-
ture 1t will be easier to get from the
eastern to the western side OF the
state. and we expect that at least one
internal junction" will be eliminated
soon.
The Sun is entirely right when II
says that "the state does not make
enough Of It's advantages as vaca-
ton ground. Millions might be ex-
tracted from summer visitors. The
region (the Champlsin Valley needs
judicIous advertising and plenty OF It.

Mayor Clement recommends 200
cents on the dollar tax for his city
of Rutland. The late ex-President
Harrison said "a cheap coat makes a
cheap man" II this Is true perhaps
a low tax rate makes stagnant
town. Anyhow. high tax rate keeps
the citizens hustling to get money
enough together to pay their assess
ment. But the great problem is to
get full value for every dollar of pub
lie money Observation-Disclosures

II is customary and considered pro-
per to always kick about the tax rate
but when the law valuation of proper

into consideration. tax rate Of 200
cents on the dollar is not excessive.
