Numerous Villages Will Benefit.

Madison.-Villages and cities of the
fourth class may benefit through state
aid and for road building next year,
according 20 an opinion by Attorney
General owen. given to Chief Engineer
Hirsh of the highway commission. and
may levy a tax there before the county
board has designated the road pro-
posed to be improved as part of the
county highway system.
The opinion was necessary because
OF seeming conflict between two en-
actments of the late legislature. The
bill amending the highway commits
sion law provides that villages and
cities of the fourth class might avail
themselves of state aid in 1915, but
a later law made further provision
that aid might be sooner received by
taking the steps necessary to levy
the tax. even before the county board
had des'f = ted the highway as a part
of the eoun, sss-sm. This law now
will be tak6n advantage OF by numer-
GUS yillages and cities of less than

The removal of the tax on sugar is
TO benefit the consumer. The sugar

The tax on bananas is not to hurt
the consumer. The United Fruit com

porters of bananas--will kindly pay
the tax. The great and good John
Sharp Williams, Ricardo of Yazoo,
tells us so.

vermont's Death Rate.

The bureau of the census gives OUT
information concerning the death
rate in what is known as registra'
tion area of the United States; ana
from it we learn that Vermont
death rate in the year 1911 was lbs
10 every one thousand of population
For a state with such healthful Gil
mate as Vermont the rate is 100
high. True. Vermont is conslderap-
w better of than either Maine OF
New Hampshire, where the rates are
1e1 and III. respectively, per thous'
and of the population, but is consld'
erably worse of than Massachusetts
with its 1873 or Connecticut with It's
ia or Rhode Island with its 100
Nevertheless the trend in Vernon
has been toward a reduction OF th'
death rate. as we learn from IN
statement of the bureau that iron
/ 1901 TO 1905 the average death rau
was 1872 and from 1906 to 1910 il wa
l61. This betterment of condition
must mean that the campaign as Z
diseases and their remedies is bea
ing fruit for Nermont's climate Is n
more salubrious than its former hls
standard. Therefore, let the can
paign of education lose none OF u
vieor. Vermont ought easily TO ran
ahead of Massachusetts, Connection
or Rhode Island in low death rate
