Vermont Press Association.

The announcement of a meeting
Of the Vermont Press Association to
be, held at ST. Adams on Friday,
February 10, is received with
pleasure by every member of
the profession in the state. This
meeting has been q long time
coming and many newspaper men in
the state have been anxious to get
together and discuss conditions and
methods. The speakers announced
for the meeting are Gov. A. M.
Fletcher, Lieut. Gov. F. E. Howe and
possibly Congressman F. l.. Greene.
The list of names may suggest politics
to some of the brethren as it is known
all of these gentlemen have political
axes to grind. If the meeting was
turned over to the political advan-
tage of these gentlemen it would be
unfortunate. Politics for a long time
made the Vermont Fish and Game
League and had much influence in
reducing it's activity and the size of
it's gatherings. 1t would be most
undesirable to have political aspir-
ants turn away from other organiza-
tions and attach themselves to the
Vermont Press Association.
However there will be much be-
sides politics at the meeting. Several
active newspaper men have been ask
ed to have papers on practical topics
and they are working to present
thoughts that will be of benefit to
the whole newspaper work of the
state. So every newspaper man may
come to that meeting with the ex-
pectation of receiving helpful sug-
gestions and a broader and more
liberal vision of his work as an in
dividual member. All members
should be present and the object and
field of work for the organization be
thoroughly considered and if possible
outlined. We are confident that the
meeting at st. Adams of the
Vermont Press Association will be
the beginning of a new and more
serious era of an organization that
can do much for the benefit of press
and public.

For Government Ownership.

Postmaster General Burleson has
submitted to Congress the recon-
mendations of a departmental com
mittee appointed by him to investi-
gate the practicability of government
ownership of telephone and telegraph
lines. This committee asserts that
the constitution requires the govern
ment to provide complete and modern
postal facilities and makes the fol-
lowing recommendations:
/. That Congress declare a Gov
eminent monopoly over all telegraph
telephone and radio communication
and such other means for the trans
mission of intelligence as may here
after develop.
2. That Congress acquire by pur-
chase at appraised value the COM
mercial telephone network, except the
farmer lines.
3. That Congress authorize the
Postmaster General to issue, in his
discretion and under such regulations
as he may prescribe, revocable Ii
censes for the operation, by private in
dividual, associations, companies and
corporations, of the telegraph service
and such parts of the telephone ser
vice as may not be acquired by the
Government.
The report argues that the govern
ment should own the telephone and
telegraph monopoly because private
monopoly will extend its service only
so far as it is profitable to do so. 1t
says
cit is needless to enter into the
manifold advantages and benefits
that would accrue to the people from
a universal telephone service. AS it
has done with the mails, it is the
duty of the government to make this
facility available to all of its citizens
without discrimination"
1t would be nice for every farmer
living in an isolated section to have
immediate telephone connections with
Boston and New York or even the
national capitol. 1t would tremen-
dously increase 1.-The voice of the peo-
pie" especially on rainy days. But
is it really the duty of the govern
ment to furnish such service as this?
Telephone service has been installed
wherever there is sufficient demand
for it to make it profitable and will
be extended as fast as financial rea-
sons warrant. That would seem
about as fast as it should be given
to the public and any attempt

New state Building.

One of the matters to be voted on
at the March meeting is whether the
State shall appropriate 100000 for
the construction of a new state build
ing at Montpelier for the accommoda-
ton of State officers. This is a large
sum Of money but the state can we'll
AFFORD to spend it if it is a necessity.
Those at all familiar with conditions
declare it is a necessity. At present
state officers are unable to keep the
Office at the State house. In a wood
en- building at Essex Junction are
very valuable state papers. Previous
to that they were kept in a wooden
building at Morrisville being tumbled
about the state to the home of who
ever happened to be secretary of
state. The same is true regarding
the papers and records of the state
tax commissioner and whenever the
state treasurer is not a resident of
Montpelier of that Office. The value
of these papers to this state is not
appreciated by the average voter who
has little to do with records, but bust
ness men, attorneys and the courts
know that records should be preserv-
ed as an agent of justice. The state
auditors Office is maintained at the
state house, but it does not have ad-
equate quarters. The present quarters
did very we'll when the auditors Of
fee was carried about in the auditors
grip. When H. F. Graham began
service as an auditor the business of
the year amounted to $750,000 a
year. Last year it was over $4,000
900. Its vault is crowded full. it's
rooms are crowded and it has no
place for the papers which are being
filed in the office today. The same
thing is practically true of the state
library. These facts confirm the
statement that a new state building
is necessary. If this appropriation
is approved by popular vote it is
planned to erect on ground already
owned by the state a building that
will accommodate the state library,
the supreme court, the state auditor,
secretary of state, Quarter-master
general and other state o1lcials--in
effect a state Office building. Then
the state house could be arranged
for the accommodation of the legis-
lative committees. 1t is felt that
each one of the important committees
of the legislature should have a per-
manent room where it can always be
found by people who wish to appear
before it. This certainly would be
a convenience to the committee and |
public.
These facts will influence us to cast
our vote in favor of the appropris-
ton and we believe every voter will |
be doing a service to the state au-
thorizing the erection of new state
Office building.

w. w. HUSBAND PROMOTED.
Has Responsible Position With the
Federal Industrial Relations
Commission

A host of old friends will learn
with interest that Walter w. Hus-
band who has recently returned to
Washington after a trip abroad
in the interests of the United States
Bureau of immigration, has severed
his connection with that bureau and
will have a responsible post with the
Federal Industrial Relations Com
mission. Mr.. Husband has spent ten
years in immigration work, first
with Senator Dillingham; while he
was chairman of the senate commit
tee on immigration, later as clerk of
the special immigration commission,
and finally with the United States
Bureau of immigration. His new
work will be along kindred lines but
with special relation to the immigra-
ton problem as it affects American
industry.

all Americans. generally speaking, is
to break out OF it,
ct has taken generations to de-
velop the trade school in Germany
the Educational report says, "and
it has depended in large measure for
its success upon the German stratifi-
cation of society. The son of the
small tradesman, of the mechanic,
of the railway employee in Germany
expects to remain in the social plane
in which he has been born. The
whole arrangement of society steers
him naturally and easily into a
trade. This situation does not exist
in America
The development, therefore, of any
system of vocational training in Yer
mont is the work of the future, Sup
Elemental to the instruction to be
given in the public schools says
the report, there will need to be
developed a certain number Of
schools of the type existing in Ran
dolph and Lyndonville, but the num-
Der of such schools, their location,
their relation to the elementary
school system, and their develop
ment must lie in the hands of the
educational administration of YER
mont"
The discussion of the question,
therefore, may well be postponed
until the time is ripe for it. These
ideas will come with something of
shock to the people of Vermont, who
have been taught that the way to
have vocational schools is simply to
get a bill through the legislature.
But they call for careful study and
Thought News.

the report of the Special Educational

Cooperation IN Maple Sugar.


Secretary of State Guy w. Bailey
is about to begin a campaign for
marketing Vermont maple sugar that
promises much benefit for Vermont
producers. 1t will not be an at
tempt to market in bulk but an at
tempt to open a market direct with
consumers of maple sugar as a lux
ury. The plan will be closely fol-
lowed out to find that a satisfactory
article has been delivered to the con-
sumers and an attempt made to get an
improved market for the best grades
OF maple sugar.
This of course will mean the de-
livery OF maple sugar in small pack
ages and is likely to necessitate an
increase in the work of preparing the
shipments that many farmers are
not in position to perform with the
present limited amount Of help. II
that be true il may be a good plan
for the manufacturers of high grade
maple sugar to combine in the en-
ployment of an individual to take
their product in the form of syrup,
sugar il on" in bulk and pack ii
in the form desired by the customers.
Probably this work will be done at
present by the Vermont Maple Sugar
Makers Association but If a good
market is established there is no rea-
son why the farmers of any locality
should not unite in the manner in
dictated above and perform the work
