The same thing hos been done with
corn, petroleum and other necessi-
ties. Those things Wee called
hold ups and extortion from the
people. The only difference we note
about this cotton move from the
things mentioned, is that it is cot
ton grown in the South and that the
federal government has lent its in
fluence and assistance to create a
monopoly in a necessity of life. The
whole object of the move is to en-
able the cotton grower to get some
thing for the enormous crop of cot
ton he is unable to sell now on ac-
count of the European war and the
slackness in the New England cot
ton mills, reduce the amount of cot
ton produced another season and
keep the p. ice of cotton above what
the law of supply and demand would
make it.
One of the campaign promises of
the democratic party was to reduce
the cost of living. But here are the
democrats of the South refusing to
allow the price of cotton to drop as it
naturally would under present con-
ditions and even forming a monopoly
under the sanction of the government
at Washington for the purpose of e
straining trade and increasing prices.
This same government has declared
such monopolies in the case of pc
troleum, tobacco and agricultural
tools illegal and liable to prosecu-
ton.
The success of this scheme shows
very clearly that it is not the repre-
sentatives of the people in charge of
the COVE. nment at Washington, but
the servants of the South. How
much they will be able to mulct the
public with their schemes to aid the
South cannot be accurately foretold
at present There is every prospect
they will accomplish enough to open
the eyes of the people and bring
about a great political change two
years from now.

No Excuse For Long Session.

The Rutland Herald calls attention
to the fact the last legislature pro-
vided for the presentation and re-
vision of bills to be introduced at any
session of the legislature in Sec. .
of Act No. IA of the session laws.
The section reads:
Sec. 5. Whenever necessary in
the intervals between the sessions of
the legislature the revise:s of bills
may meet for work at the capital,
but they shall be required to be in
actual session in the Office of the
Legislative. reference librarian from
date not less than 80 days prior to
the opening of the general assembly
until the final adjournment thereof.
Within three days after the election
of a gene al assembly the sergeant
alarms shall forward Immediately
to all senators and representatives
elect a sufficient number of blanks
for the preparation of bills, together
with a notice in the following form:
You are hereby notified that the
reVisers of bills will be in session at
the state library in Montpelier on
and after and you are
urged Ito prepare and forward to
them at once any bills which you de-
sire to introduce for enactment by
the general assembly.
This means that when the gen
eral assembly meets next January,
it should have nearly all of the leg
islation that is to be considered.
ready for introduction, reading and
printing. Then the early considera-
ton of the bills should be COM
menced. Diligent consideration Of
them should enable the Legislature
to pass a large body of desirable law
and adjourn within so days. Here
is a chance for real legislative reform
and failure to accomplish it will Sc
riously discredit the members of the
legislature.

A Cotton Monopoly.

1t is announced from Washington
that the raising of $135, 100000 for
the relief of the cotton growers of
the South has been successfully ac-
complished, the newly constituted
federal reserve board endorsing the
plan and even agreeing to administer
the investment Of this fund. The
object of the men who Jlave raised
the fund is to purchase cotton at
the rate of six cents a pound and
hold it until the selling price has
been raised to ten cents a pound,
The sum of $135, 100000 invested
in cotton at six cents a pound will
purchase 2,25O,OOO,OOO pounds of
cotton. This amount of cotton sold
at ten cents a pound would total
.$225, 100000, o. $9O,OOO,OOO more
than it cost. So the venture if sue
-cessful will be quite profitable to
the pool furnishing the money and it
is to be gratuitously administered by
the federal reserve board.
We have heard of spectators in
vesting large sums in wheat and
holding this necessity of life until
they could get their price for it.

The clergy of st. Johnsbury have
made an appeal to the citizens to
contribute towards the relief of the
Belgians made destitute by war
The no: rible injustice to which
these people have been subjected
and the terrible suffering that fol-
lows the devastation of war forced
upon them has deeply affected the
sympathies OF the American peo-
pie and they are actively engaged
in a mighty relief work. st. Johns
bury should identify itself in a cred
liable way with this great and me-
ritorious work of America and it
doubtless will. A meeting of the
women of st. Johnsbury is to be held
at the Woman's Club house Thursday
afternoon to consider ways in which
:elief may be accomplished and
every woman who feels that she or
her family can do something for
people more unfortunate than she
should be present.

We cheerfully award to Editor
F. z. Howe the honor of writing the
most sensible editorial regarding the
length of a session of the legislature.
He says that large majority of the
bills introduced do not come from
the members themselves but from
organizations, from towns, cities
and villages, from business corpora
tions and other sources" and they
are not always prompt in presenting
their bills. This is undoubtedly
tue but it should not hinder the
members from taking advantage of
the new law and have as many bills
as possible ready to act upon at the
opening of the session.

The people of Vermont feel much
sympathy for T. N. Vail, the man
who in the conduct of his enormous
telephone and telegraph enterprises
has always recognized the right of
the government to regulate public
service corporations of such magni-
tude, in his indictment as former
director of the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford Railway Company.
Mr.. Wallis only purpose in going on
that board was to secure better rail-
DAD service between this section of
Vermont and New York City. He
has never made any money on his
New Haven holdings and never at
tempted to carry the combinations
of that property beyond what the
government declared to be proper
He simply tried to serve the travel
ers from eastern We: mont to New
York. Now because some one not
under his control is alleged to have
done illegal things, Mr.. Vail is under
a criminal Indictment and must face
the disgrace of a public trial. 1t is
a poor and humiliating reward for
a man who simply attempted to i'm
prove the travelling facilities of him
self and neighbors.

We maintain that complete super
vision by union superintendent, con-
solidation of the schools as fast as
accommodations can be p. divided,
and the ignoring Of town lines in
locating the central schools are good
recommendations that should be car.
ried out as fast as they can be paid
for. Therefore the commission is
right in calling for these changes
but must not expect the immediate
enactment of this recommendation
We hope to treat of other features
of the report in a future issue.

has done considerable work regard

so to give the village direct authority
to regulate the construction of new
buildings and extensive repairs of
old This should not be allowed to
lag now but be put into shape for
presentation to the legislatu. e. st.

AgricuIture,s Opportunity.


For the two past issues The Gale
DOMAIN has attempted to show that
the agricultural inter ests of the state
have not received their share of sup
port the state is giving to various
classes ard interests and tried to
arouse a determination on the part
of the agriculturists themselves to
secure more beneficial legislation. Ii
has not attempted to answer the
question whether agriculture de-
served more help from the state, but
will attempt to do so now.
Vermont agriculture is facing one
of the greatest possibilities of it's
history For years we have been
quoting from the federal crop re-
ports to show that the ave age yield
per acre of all the leading crops is
greater in Vermont than in a large
proportion of the states. These
government reports show that in the
value of the products of an acre of
land Vermont stands twentieth in the
list of forty-eight states. Figures
might be given to show that an &C: e
of oats in Vermont brings more in
come than an acre in the greatest
oat producing state in the Union.
The same is true of corn, wheat, bar
ley and hay.
Despite the fact that Vermont land
is so productive and profitable less
than rs per cent of the state i'm
proved land is under cultivation and
land and buildings here are cheaper
here than in any other section of
the country. A man with $4,000
to invest in a farm can get better
land and buildings, more favorably
situated with regard to schools,
churches, postoffice and rail-
road in Vermont than any
where else on this continent. A
few people in the West have found
this out and come to Vermont to
purchase farms but Vermont could
have a hundred buyers from the
West where she has one now, and
will have, if she makes her land
values sufficiently well known.
Farming itself stands higher
among other occupations than it did
ten years ago. The great increase in
the population of cities, who consume
but do not produce food products, is
bound to raise it still higher The
improvement in the methods of agri-
culture make it more attractive and
profitable. More accurate knowledge
of agriculture as a science is greatly |
increasing it's productive results. We |
might continue to mention the pos
sibilities before the intelligent, in
dustrious and practical business far
mer but think we have shown there |
are great possibilities before the agri-
cultural people of the state, that any
encouragement given them would
b: ing good results and that the agri-
cultural interests deserve the best
application of any monies appropria-
ted from the state treasury that is
possible. Next week we will attempt
to offer some suggestions how that
may be done.

CROWDS SEE HIAwATHA
Successful Presentation by School
Children Under Direction of
Miss ScateS.
Longfellow's Indian love stol

Miss ScateS.
Longfellow's Indian love story al
ways charms and the fact it was to
be presented in pantomime, song and
dance by $50 school children di-
rected by Miss Eva M. Scates, drew
large crowd to The Colonial last
Thursday evening. The crowd
went away feeling well satisfied with
the novel entertainment afforded
them. Miss Scates lead enough of
the poem to make the pantomime
well understood and the young peo-
pie represented the characters very
well. They were: Hiawatha
Howard Fisk; Hiawatha, the boy,
Master Dana Baxter; Minnehaha,
Helen Roberts; Nokomis, Dorothy
Adams; Arrow Maker, Francis Dins-
more; Iagoo, Harry Salman; Mon
DAMN, Cliffo- Belknap; Pau Puk
Keewis, Carlyle Sargent: wa. riors,
and guests at the wedding feast.
A very pleasant feature of the en-
tertainment was the dances given
in the different acts. The dances
and dancers follow: Couple chorus,
Howard Fisk, soloist, Leslie Cady,
Bessie McEncroe, Ethel Morgan,
Marjo-ie French, Winifred Woods,

these figures give Vermonters a
little better appreciation of the i'm

tive factor. When you hear any
one trying to discredit Vermont just
repeat the figures for its soil pro-
duction in 1914 and ask him if he
can tell what his state did
