SHORTAGE OF CATTLE.
Changed Ratios between Livestock
and Population Leave Eject ON Prices.

uhO reputation Leave Enect ON PFtceS.
The Saturday Evening Post says: It Is
being appreciated more and more that
low-priced cattle cannot be raised on high
priced land and feed. To-day land Is
steadily rising In price and the outlook
for cheap feed Is none too good: therefore
prices OF cattle must continue high. More
over. consumption OF meat has increased
faster than supply. Census figures from
ITO to 1910 show remarkable changes In
number Of cattle per 1000 people. In 1850
the number was 1855; In 1860 1t has risen
to sl%s; In 1890 It was sl5.s; after that
came a decline until 1910 The number
then stood at $751; From 1900 to 1910 the
cattle supply Increased 1873 per cent. or
s736.0oo. while population increased 2l3

rLrrcmEn.s POLICIES

GOVERNOR FLETC1ER'S POLICIES'
Governor Fletchers administration
is still very young but IT has proceeded
far enough to demonstrate that he mas
marked power of initiative, and that
he does not propose to be forced along
beaten paths. Instead of delug'ng
the lawmakers with words at the very
beginning Of his term as we'll as Of
theirs, he has grven them some very
succinct suggestions as to how they
can begin to exercise economy judi
ciously without weakening the public
service and benefits and how they
can make their own work more effl,-
Client.
As time progresses Governor F1etch-
or will make further recommendation
to the members of the Legislature.
ana the lawmakers will have the BEN
eft Of his long experience In connec-
ton with various pressing problems
as they come up for consideration dur
At the present time Governor
Fletcher believes that Vermont should
be careful as to the work of the
committee on appropriations. We
are not like New York with prac-
tically unlimited resources and vast
interests appealing for consideration.
We have limited means. ana we must
try to see that we can pay as we go.
Governor Fletcher characterized the
work of the committee on ways and
means during the previous session %
the Legislature as chiefly a series Of
attempts to discover ways Of provid.
ing the means to meet the bills con-
tracted by the appropriations commit
tee. whereas the two subjects should
be considered together.
We should not appropriate money,
in the estimation of our new execu-
tive. until We know where the money
is coming from: and that Is a sound
every intelligent person possessing
sense.
Governor Fletcher does not believe
that in a small state like Vermont
with limited resources we should du-
plicate appropriations for educational
work. In other words he would &c,
have the state support three medical
departments. in education. for exam
pie. Here again the new governors
ideas will impress themselves as in
tensely practical and sound.
II the new executive has his way
the attorneygeneral department will
not spend $4,000 for detective work
and the expenses Of our courts Will be
materially abridged.
without increasing taxation, he
would secure in these and other ways
most of the money needed for the
promotion of the agricultural develop
ment OF Vermont, for the increasing
couragement of water power develop
ment and the various material move
ments upon whrch he believes the fu-
ture progress ana welfare OF the peo-
pie Of Vermont SO largely depend
Governor Fletcher will set the law
makers an excellent example by cut.
ting out most of the frills of govern
Ing and promote in every possible way
the doing of tho State work in the
quickest and most effective way pos
sihle consistent with cool service. In
these and other excellent arms outlined
he will have the hearty cooperation
of the great body Of legislators and
the thorough sympathy Of the great
mass Of the people OF Vermont.
