this was necessary to the exercise OF
the governments present control over
freight and passenger rates.
Some railroad presidents agree with
Mr.. Prouty so far as to say that II there
is to be outside control OF stock ana
bond issues it is much better to have
that vested in single national board
than in AS different boards, acting on As
different theories. Massachusetts has al
ready assumed control of the issue OF
new shares OF stock and of the issue OF
bonds BY railroads chartered in this
state. And no company chartered here
can spend any new money, except on
ordinary Improvements of its existing
property, without first securing the APP
prevail of the public service commission.
This means that no railroad company
with a Massachusetts charter can buy a
branch line or extend its existing lines
by building new track, even If the
branch line or the new track is in an
other state, without first coming here to
get permission. This is state control
of an interstate corporation. The rail-
road companies would prefer rational
control.
Other enterprises favor national cor
poration law, and for similar reasons.
Such an arrangement is in the interest
of simplicity and efficiency. But what
will the states say about it, Is Mas
sachusetts willing TO surrender its con
troll over its chartered corporations? Is
Maine willing to forego the revenue that
it derives from the tax on corporations
chartered under its liberal laws? These
are questions that must be considered.
The advocacy of national corporation
laws is part of the growing movement
for magnifying the national government
at the expense of the states, OF which
evidences are now Standardization

Let $4,000 Experts Work for You.

'rNot one person out of a thousand
even understands exactly how to avail
himself of the printed information the
government is ready to supply. In ad-
dition to sending out matter already
printed, however, the department holds
at the service of the people some $4,000
employees ready and anxious TO answer
individual letters and give specific ad-
vice of how best to manage their agri-
cultural activities. The organization of
this vast army of workers is exceeding
" interesting. A brief summary of the
principal bureaus is given at the end
of this paper. 1t must be remembered
that a specialist with trained staff
of assistants stand at the head of each
bureau, and that under each general
head there may be from five to 20 sub
divisions. Each carries on a particular
phase of the research.
at makes, therefore, no difference
whether the government has printed
bulletin dealing with the particular sub
iect. that interests you, or whether you
know the name or number of such
bulletin. A letter or postcard making
clear your problem and the matter on
which you desire help, if addressed sim

Conviction grows that the present adj
ministration in Washington had a good
press agent. For instance, note the Choir
tie of glee by the postoffice department
over the slick way in which the depart
ment cleaned up the Christmas rush bus
mess. Indeed, not once, but many times
are we told that things moved like clock
work; and that in spite of the fact that
they had the parcel post business to deal
with. The chortle is duly noted by the
people, without doubt.

out the country that are seeking what
advertisement they can get by having
it published that they have applied for
membership in the new federal banking
system go on the presumption that the
public does not know that they are com
PEELED to become members or lose their
charters as national banks. They are
allowed two months in which to make
voluntary application, and at the end OF
year, under the new law, they will
lose their charters if they are not mem

1t is rather unfortunate that the dates

soma bleness of the prohibition, for prize

Federal Water Control.

At recent departmental conference,
Secretaries Garrison, Lane, Houston and
Redfield discussed the important ques-
tion of federal water control and dis
tribution without the present wasteful
duplication of effort.
The rainsheds of the national forests
are now under the general management
of the agricultural department.
In many instances however, especially
where floods are involved, the war de-
partment has sole jurisdiction.
Not only that, but water supply and
freshets both bear a close relation to
conservation problems with which the
interior department is wrestling, and
matters OF water regulation, dealt with
by the department of commerce, fire.
quently are associated with the business
of other branches of the government.

coordination which will assure harmo-

Rutlands Building Record for 1913.

Rutland's Building Record Tor 1918.
The building record of Rutland for
1918, as shown by an article published
December 20 in The Evening News, is
most creditable to the "livest" city in
Vermont. The cost of the construction
for the year approximates 100000. 1t
will be remembered that the obstruction
in 1919 was estimated at approximately
S5000O0 The expenditure of substan-
TALLY 100000 in new buildings in this
city in the past two years easily puts it
in the front in this respect of all cities
in the state.
One particular gratifying feature of
the building record is the fact that a
large percentage of the expenditures
has been for new buildings for our man
ufacturing establishments, or enlarge
ment of buildings already constructed.
This is the most substantial evidence
that can be offered as TO the industrial
growth of Rutland. As long as our di-
versifed manufacturing plants are in
creasing in size and in number OF men
employed. the growth of our population
is both substantial and assured.
Naturally, the increase in factory ca
pacity has made necessary the rs TO 100
dwelling houses that have been erected
in the past two vars. And yet with all
of this large addition to residential
property the demand is still greater
than the supply. There has hardly been
a time in several years--and that not
for long--when there has been vacant
house in Rutland
Another congratulatory aspect of the
building record is found in the fact that
a considerable number OF most beauti-
full and expensive residences have been
erected This vouchsafes for Rutland
growing beauty as residential city.
There is every prospect that the new
year about to commence will see no di-
minution in business or industrial activ-
ity or in increase of population. As
Rutland approaches 1914 it is with a
feeling of happiness and satisfaction
over both accomplishment and prospect.

well-Lighted Streets as Advertisement

The city authorities could do nothing
for Rutland that would please the peo-

vantage to the city, than to provide for
more effective and more attractive light

smooth, clean pavement and bright illu-
