The annual town meeting is fast
approaching. Besides the usual ques-
tons of electing town officers, which
is important in itself, there is the annu-
al license question to settle. Shall we
have a saloon in our town or not!
Don't let someone else settle it for
you. Do it yourself. Then there is
the question this year of whether we
want the state to expend $500, 900 for
an addition to the statehouse or not.
The voters of Vermont have their say
about it. And last but not least is the
primary question. Shall we change
from the present system to the prefer
entail or direct primary system? It's
up to you gentlemen. March meeting
this year is of more Importance than
ever before Have you given these
matters your serious consideration and
are you prepared to vote intelligently
on these questions?

Following the state papers closely,
one sees that nearly every town, viii
lage and city in the state find their
present tax rate insufficient. Indebted
ness has been incurred. A higher tax
rate must be levied. The question is.
in the slang of the day. "Where do we
get OFF," Year after year we spend
more money for seemingly necessary.
or at least very desirable things.
From time to time we raise more
taxes to meet necessarily increasing
expenses. The question is when and
where do we stop, or are taxes, like
the cost of living, forever going up?
The problem is not local one merely,
or Vermont problem alone. but ap-
parently worldwide question.

Must Stand Somewhere.

The Morrisville Messenger suggests
that only members for the next legig-
lature be elected who will pledge
themselves to favor a resolution fixing
the pay of the members at $3.50 for
the session regardless of its length.
The people in general will favor this
plan but the trouble will be to get the
candidates to declare themselves be-
fore the election. The general policy
of office seekers is to talk but little
and take an almost neutral posi- ton
on important public questions. The
time, though. is coming.when all public
officials will have to declare their
position on important questions before

Good Scheme When Used to Ii.

The theory that voters should have
time to read the town reports before,
instead of after March meeting, is
right and after time the town Off
Gals may learn to adjust themselves to
the new arrangement brought about
by the last legislature so this will be
possible. Just at present the situation
is one that seems almost impossible to
meet. Printers will have only twelve
working days to get out the reports
which require three weeks at least.

printed in the newspapers instead of in
pamphlet form, in order to meet

slaughter continues. The food OF
kingbirds consists of ninety per cent
of weevils and other injurious insects
Robins eat ten times more noxious in
sects and seeds than seed and berries
and fruits useful to man. The gros-
beaks eat few green peas, but they
will rid your potatoes patch of Col
orado beetles. The small damage
done by few species of native birds
is vastly more than repaid by their
beneficial service to society.
Behold the birds of the heaven
The Biological Survey reports that
meadowlarks, which feed principally
upon grasshoppers, save 1866 for ev-
cry township of thirty-six square miles
in Iowa, by protecting the crops. And
it also reports that during a year in
the state of New York the native
birds destroy three million bushels
of noxious insects which prey upon
the orchard, woodland, and cultivated
field Yes, the birds are our bene-
factors.
But behold the birds of the heaven!
They are also our schoolmasters. They
are ever before us as examples Of
industry. But see how true the birds
are to their native instincts. They
live up to the light that is in them.
But see how false we often are to
reason and instruction. to conscience
and revelation. The birds hear the
call of nature, and their migration
begins. One hundred and fifty-five
species of warblers range from Ar
gentine to Alaska. The black poll
is the greatest traveller. 1t wings its
way from Brazil to Alaska, 900
miles. These feathered midgets do
not follow the string of islands across
the sea, but fly in single night across
the Gulf to F'lorida-a distance of
seven hundred miles. How wise and
beneficent is that divine providence
which thus leads the little wayfarers
across the painless sea!
The birds are true to their instincts.
They flee from their enemies and from
danger. But men-they often are not
as wise as the birds to avoid evil
companions and bad habits. Too Of
ten do they rather cultivate evil as
sociations and bad habits, and so
run into danger. The prisons and
asylums are filled with people who
were not as wise as the birds, for
they wilfully trampled upon both
reason and instruction, conscience,
and revelation.
Behold the birds of the heaven
They fill their places in nature with
honor and distinction. True to its
instinct, the bird builds its nest and
cares for its own. 1t thus becomes
an example to all men in courage
and patriotism. But there is an in
creasing host of men who care for
no one, and live for nobody but them
selves-and are they not beneath the
birds in courage and patriotism? But
divine providence takes care of the
birds, and they thrive and prosper
and all because they are true to their
instincts and live up to the light that
is in them; and so, divine providence
can prosper mankind only as the voice
of duty is obeyed.
