never before received by Vermont,-di-
rect governmental expenditure for th> aid
of the natural resources of the state.
Reports have just been made by the Off
GERS of the agricultural and forestry de-
partment which will support the propo-
sition that the government can in the
exercise of it's constitutional powers ex-
pend money in such a way as to steady
the flow of the streams. Much must be
done in this matter in Congress in the
coming year or two. 1t is important for
the state of Vermont. 1t is tremendously
important for the West River valley and
the whole of Winjham county that we
have in Congress from this district one
who is in the strongest position to look
out for us.
Congressman Plumley is a member of
the committee having these matters in
charge. He was chosen by reason of his
acquaintance with the subject and long
advocacy of conservation to draw the
report on behalf of the majority of the
committee in support of the conservation
bill and to assist in its passage through
the House There can be no doubt that
for this particular issue Congressman
Plumley is now far and away the
strongest man this district can have in
Washington.
1t then resolves itself into a simple
question for the Republican voters of
this county. Ought We to sacrifice the
interests of the county for the sake of
helping to office a resident of the county
who seeks political place? Or ought we to
do our duty by the county and undertake
to keep in place a man who is peculiar

flow of West River (Which is now very
low could be increased easily five or six
times by properly developed and used
storage. We know by what we have al
ready seen in this county, that with that
accomplished, Londonderry, Jamaica,
Townshend Newfane and Dummerston
would Immediately see the influx of
large capital and the building up of in
dustry, multiplying the grand lists of
those towns and the bringing of indus
trial activity. These water rights and
powers on the West River are owned in
dividually. 1t is better for the valley
that they be so owned and developed.
The profit ought to come to the people
of the valley.
No single concern can put in the large
capital required for the development of
storage. That cannot be done except by
governmental aid. To those who have OBJ
served what Is going on, 1t has been
plain for some years that steps were be-
ing taken which led toward the estab-
lishment of these storage reservoirs, by
aid of the federal government, Coupled,
as we hope, by the proper interest and
endorsement of the state of VermonO.
Already there has been passed in Con-
gress bill appropriating two million
dollars per year for forest reservations
which are to conserve the flow of the
streams. Steps are being taken toward
making that appropriation in part avail
able for the location of storage reser-
voirs. 1t seems reasonable to expect that
within a short time, perhaps next year,
with the proper support of our people,
we may expect to receive what was

FAVORS MR.. PLUMLEY.
c. c. Fits Believes Present Congress
man Can Do More for Windham
County Than a New Member.

Brattleboro. VT, June II, 1912.
Editor of The Phoenix,
Dear Sir:-The caucuses are soon to
be held for delegates to the convention
to nominate a Republican candidate for
member of Congress for this district.
Judge Gibson asks to be chosen to dis
place Mr. Plumley. 1t Is being urged that
we all ought to support Windham county
man as against an outsider. That may
be a good enough doctrine II there are
no other things to consider. But Wind
ham county is now at that point in her
history when she ought to pretty care
fully weigh and consider all the ques-
tions which may be of moment for the
welfare of the people of this county. The
candidate of our county issues his plat
form which in its generalities Is much
like that of candidates in general VINO
seek to displace a man now holding ONCE
We are asked to endorse through MIN
numerous of the ''fads and fancies" of
present day so-called progressive" pol
iticians,-direct election of United States
senator's and direct primaries, both for
state and county officers and for pres
idential candidates. Anyone upon renee
ton can see that these things would OPP
crate to strip the smaller towns OF the
relative influence they now enjoy, and
states have been most corrupting. 1t is
the death kneil of the poor man IN pol
tiles for no one without ample means
can possibly under such systems hope for
the nomination for any public office,
But our local candidate evidently over
looks the things which most interest
Windham county now. We are trying TO
do something here. An era of devel-
| opment is at hand. The way to get
| money to come into Windham county
| and develop her natural resources, and
| in that way improve her social and ma
| terial conditions, Is to take hold ip
| particular way and make 1t feasible.
| Brattleboro and the Deerfield valley are
| both now feeling the impetus of the de-
velopment of natural resources. We are
| undertaking a movement for the better
! ment of conditions in the West River
| valley Every one realizes that the first
| thing to provide is an easy and frequent
| means of communication and transporta-
| ton. That Is slowly being brought about (;
| long strides are being made In that direc-
| ton during the present season. But the ul-
innate development of the West River val
| ley in large way must come from the
water powers Nature has made it pos
sible to secure tremendous values from
water powers now undeveloped In the
| West River valley and its branches.
Everyone who knows anything about 1t,
knows that that can come about only by
| the creation in the first instance OF am
| pie storage reservoirs In the headwaters
| of these streams With ample storage in
| Winhall, Londonderry and Weston, the
real value OF the developed and the I'M
developed powers on the West River
would be tremendously enhanced. 1t Is
plainly demonstrated that the minimum
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1912-06-14

ly fitted for the very thing which we
most desire? Which ought to have the
preference? The needs of the county for
social and material upbuilding and de-
velopment or the ambition of one who
cannot claim to have been in any way
particularly identified with the efforts
now being made to develop southern
Vermont?
1t Is not pleasant to have to speak 50
plainly but If we want to help Windham
county there Is one thing for us to do.
If we are willing to sacrifice that, we can
do the other thing.
Very truly yours,
CLARKE c. Fits.
