A Railroad Opportunity.
Editor of The Phoenix


In the last issue of the Deerfield VAL
ley Times l note an announcement from
the H. T. & w. r. r. office that that
road would standardize its roadbed and
rolling stock within the next six weeks
and propose to extend the road to Brat
letboro. If this is so it would seem that
the scheme of E. Crosby of Is years ago
was to be realized and the distance be-
tween Brattleboro and North Adams
would be much less than via Greenfield.
AS Brattleboro has adopted the motto
that the more railroads the better
would it not be well for her to shake
hands with the II. T. & w. r. r. and
invite ii to come in. If Brattleboro is
to continue to grow as she is growing
would il not be fine thing to open
connection with this lumber section?
There is plenty of lumber here yet and
Brattleboro will need some of it, 1t will
be a godsend to Marlboro and no CEN
trail town is wise that does not desire
good luck to outlying towns The more
prosperous the more trade flows to the
central town.
Surely ii seems to me that Brattle-
boro, Marlboro, Wilmington Whiting
ham and Readsboro should all join
hands to welcome this enterprise. OPP
portunities do not usually come for the
asking but / believe this one will If the
asking is hearty and friendly.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE ]. BOND.

There is no county in Vermont, in

The unprecedented growth Of that in

Albert l.. Gutterson, a recent graduate
Of the UniversitS of Vermont, wearing

America in the running broad Jump in

record was "a feet Ga inches, made by
Irons Of Chicago in the meet in London
four years ago The American record
for years has been. "a feet inches and

price OF shelter is going up The price

the workers family are increasing.
The weekly allowance OF the house,
vile will not last until the week Is
up. The pennies that can be laid
aside for the rainy day are growing
fewer aud more scarce.
The cost of living has increased
sixty per cent during the last fifteen
years" he continued. THAT means
that the same amount OF goods that
cost one dollar fifteen years ago.
costs today $3.50. Nor have We any
assurance that 1t will not 20 higher.
How about wages? Yes. they have
increased also. But the growth has
not been 30 rapid as that OF the cost
of living. Wages have increased on
an average only twenty per cent
during the same fifteen years. That
means that where n man received
one dollar for IA given amount OF
work fifteen years ago. he now re-
.ceives $1.2O The cost OF living has
inceasred three times as fast as the
wages have increased That means
that workingman's family must
get along with twenty-five per cent
less today than 1t did fifteen years
ago. or better, the standard of living
has decreased twenty-five per cent in
fifteen years.
Nor is that all. In every field OF
human endeavor cooperation Is
rapidly displacing competition.
Many industries have now reached a
point where competition no longer
prevails. The work OF concentration
is now being carried out into the field
of the small merchant and the retail
dealer.
THE Morgan group Is reputed to
control twelve billions OF dollars.
which is one-eighth OF the total
wealth OF our nation. Can anyone
calculate the tremendous power that
can be welded by this one group?
No monarch has ever had at his dis
posal such wealth.
1T is reported that in 1911 the
Rockefeller profits amounted to over
fifty millions of dollars. Mr.. Rookie
feller cannot use all Of this for him
self. He may use few millions for
his household Additional millions
he might in the kindness of his heart
give towards the building OF houses
of worship. But the greatest por-
tion he, or rather his agents, must
invest in new enterprises. That
means more Investments, and again
more profits. and again more invest
ments, ety., etc.
Already there are growing end
less chains of small enterprises from
coast to coast being controlled by one
or another syndicate. The cigar mer-
chant is feeling It. the lunch room
keeper is feeling It, the haberdasher
is feeling 1t. and every year an in
creased number of people are feeling
it."
