Worth Considering.

Gov. Fetcher's pronouncement at
Rutland last week in favor of a
cross-state railroad, with suggestion
of state ownership or state interest
therein, is a practical matter of great
imL ortance to Vermont. No single
enterprise has more promise to every
resident of the state than this. To
break through the mountain barrier
and bring the east and west sides of
Vermont into quick and easy touch
would work wonders in the state's
development. AS to financing it, any
practical plan is worthy of considera.
ton. Perhaps the one entailing the
least responsibility upon the state
would be to guarantee certain low
fixed dividend on the investment for a
known period, provide for official
representation of the state on the
directorate and let private capital
build and operate the road. Once
established. such connecting link
ought to pay. 1t would be an immense
public benefit that the state can we'll
afford to back.-Randolph Herald and
