In conclusion, Postmaster General
Burleson points out that the postoffice
department is essentially a business
institution, which touches every home
in the land. A high standard of eff

shall be furnished to any person or
corporation in the state OF Vermont
at any time The Wilmington cnar-
ter says that preference shall be CIV
en- for any unsold electricity. IL is
certainly open to argument whether
any preferential clause, even though
it should not say unsold electricity
could give future Vermont appli
cant for power the legal right to call
back into this state power already le-
gally contracted for by a Massachu-
setts consumer. Conceding this point,
however, and admitting the validity
of the preference, does not alter the
effect upon the growth of Vermont in
dustry of charter allowing power TO
be taken out of the state.
THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOP
MENT OF VERMONT DEPENDS
UPON THE EXISTENCE IN YER
MONT OF ADVANTAGES WHICH
CANNOT BE OBTAINED ELSE
WHERE.
Vermont Is geographically off the
main highway OF commerce. That is
"a disadvantage which does not exist
in Massachusetts. Vermont has the
raw materials for comparatively few
industries, and the expense of import
ing them is greater than in Massa-
chusetts. The supply of labor in Yer
mont is not good; it is in Massachu-
sets. This list of industrial ad-
vantages which Massachusetts pos
sesses over Vermont might be extend
ed to much greater length, until 1t
included all the reasons why Massa-
chusetts has gone forward industrial
" while Vermont has stood still or
refrigerated.
Vermont however, has better and
cheaper water power almost the only
Offset of Importance, except her for
ests. But IL is a sufficient counter
weight-a magnet to draw the iron
of distant states, power sufficient to
| turn the wheels of all the factories
| that can be Accommodated. VIII these
| industries come to Vermont If they
can get Vermonts cheap power in
| Massachusetts, and even in Rhode Is
land and Connecticut The cost OF
transmission is negligible.
II should not be forgotten that the
| development of Vermont water pow
| er is but a means TO an end, and that
! the means is of no value to the state
unless the end be accomplished The
end is greater than providing a small
amount of cheap power to what few
Industries the state now has and a
large amount, equally cheap, to the
industries, present and prospective
of Massachusetts. The complete re
alization of the means, the full deyel
! opment of the power, will not come
so quickly If the power is retained by
the state, but the end, which other
wise would come not at all, the at
tracing of industries TO Vermont, vii
come certainly.
To conclude this rather long argu
ment, it is evident that to grant
| charter to the Southern Vernon
Light and Power Company and TO any
other similar companies will add {
strong link to the already formidable
chain which outside companies are
throwing about Vermont. Before any
further steps are taken or sucf
sweeping charters granted the Yer
mont power sitaation should be care
fully considered as a whole. and II
the light OF recent disclosures a com
prehensive water power policy b.
worked out which shall include, as I
primary feature, the principle of YER
MONT WATER POWER FOR YER
MONT.
