After commenting on the fitness

eff this list can be improved upon
The News will promptly accept

would hardly expect The News tt
advocate the election of ]. L
Southwick just at this time. MOI
can The News expect The Caledonia
to enthuse much over Gov. Mead
(although it would not seriously op
pose him). But let US propose al
amendment by striking out the namt
of Gov. John A, Mead and insertin:
in lieu thereof the name of J. 1
Southwick of Burlington. Is tn
motion. seconded?

Rhode Island has changed from
annual to biennial elections which
seems a very sensible thing to do.
Changing laws once in two years
is frequent enough as a rule and if
there are exceptions important
enough to warrant, special sessions
could be called. New York and
Massachusetts would be much bet
ter off if their state legislature met
only once in two years. 1t would
greatly reduce the amount of new
legislation and make people more
careful in enacting new laws. Yer
mont with it's biennial sessions pass
es more laws than are really neces-
sary but it would suffer more if it
had annual sessions Of its legis-
lature.

The new board of trade organized
at Wells River last week introduces
a novel institution in Vermont. It's
field is not bounded by town or
county lines but includes all of a
natural trading community. To all
of the towns included in the organi-
cation Wells River is a natural trade
center and the promoters of the or
ganization wisely foresee that any
material development in any part of
that territory will increase the i'm
portance of Wells River as a bust
a cold storage plant there would
benefit the whole section because it
would give greater home value to
all of it's agricultural products, and
it is the home value that affects the
producer. Increase his income and
you increase his expenditures at
his trade center. The mention of
undeveloped power in that section
shows an even broader purpose be-
fore the organization. If it sue
ceeds in the development of these
untitled powers and establishes
successful industries there it will
still further enhance the value of
agricultural products and so benefit
the whole section. The discussion of
the highways in that section should
result in their improvement and the
development of a civic pride that
will lead to more attractive and
prosperous communities.
Perhaps the most important fea-
ture of the Connecticut and Wells
River Valleys Board of Trade is the
suggestion it makes to other
trading sections of Vermont to fol-
low it's example. While Vermont
has not reached it's limit in town or
city trade organizations there is lit
tie prospect of a great increase in
them. But there are fields for fif-
teen or twenty more organizations
that embrace the whole of a natural
commercial field. The ST. Johnsbury
club could greatly extend it's in
fuence and benefits if it should Or
ganize similar body to include all
the contributing territory to it's
commercial Importance. The same
is true of Barton and of Newport
To any organization of this nature
should the -educative influence of
the st. Johnsbury Commercial club
greatly increase their possibilities
for usefulness and it could not fail
commend itself because it would
to create a higher and more desir-
able standard of citizenship.
