Vermont's Small Farms.

The Bennington Banner, in calling
for some concerted action to induce
land-hungry settlers to occup social
ed abandoned farms in Windham
county, fixes attention to a need
which is by no means confined to any
Vermont locality. There are thous-
ands of acres in Vermont that are
running to pasture and Indifferent
hay that ought to be producing food
First, let us be understood that
there are no abandoned farms in Yer
mont, as the term is generally under
stood. There are quite number of
vacant and dismantled buildings, but
the farms are mostly annexed to
others and are producing something
not, however, within many figures of
what they would do if they were own
ed by intelligent small farmers who
lived On the soil.
The lure of western investment has
swallowed up enough Vermont CAPT
tai, and a halt should be called Com
mentng on the school problem, j. A.
Chaplin of MiddleseX wrote as fol
lows to the Montpelier Argus;
We have just overhauled our
school system at the cost of much
time and money and still we have not
got at the root of all the evil in the
rural districts. Expert scientists,
statesmen and scholars from within
and without have diagnosed the case
and prescribed several correct treat
ments but have failed TO tell us what
to do about the worst trouble of all,
viz, the lack of scholars.
This hits at the root of Vermonts
real need. to wit, more small farmers
with sturdy, old-fashioned families,
who will operate the farms of the
back districts according to modern,
intensive methods, and bring up their
average of production.
No infexible rule can be made to
cover all localities, but it is safe to
say that ayery. Vermont farm where

AmerIca,s Greatest clty.a ,eankrupt.

A city. like. an individual or a PR
vate corporation, can become bank
rupt, writes Senator William NJ. Ben
nett, of the 18th Senate District of
New York State, in the October
Strand Magazine. Insolvency is no
more of a respectOr of a government
than it is of a person or an organiza-
ton of any description. Doubtless
many persons would be surprised to
hear the statement made that the
greatest city in the United States,
the second city in the world, is
bankrupt. Yet such is the startling
fact
New York City is a bankrupt. This
city, in population larger than any
State in the Union except the State
of Pennsylvania, and exceeding in
population many of the smaller gov
ernments of the world, has gross
founded debt of $1.967 100000 and an
annual budget of $2O0,00O0O0.
To show by way Of comparison the
magnitude of these items. the debt of
the German Empire in 1918 was
about $1,000, 100000 and the annual
interest and amortization charges
$55, 200; and the debt of Italy
$500, 100000, the debt of Japan ST.
100000 900, the debt of Austria-Hun-
gary $1,000, 100000, the debt of the
United States S1,O2S0O0,OOO, and in
every instance the interest and amor
tization charges were much less than
similar charges of the city of New
York.
So far as the annual budget was
concerned, the total expenditures of
the city of New York were more than
of many of the governments. of the
world Norway spent but $4,000
OO0, Portugal $S5,0oO,0OO, Spain $500.
100000, Sweden $70O00,O0O, while the
total expenditures of the city of New
York. including its budget, We're
nearly $40O,OOOOOO
The income of the city OF q New
York is derived mainly from a direct
tax on real property, which viii
amount this year to over 100000 600.
The balance of its budget is derived
from Various sinking fund revenues,
such as dock leases, water rents, Ii
censes. interest on Investments of
the sinking fund, interest on bank
balances and many other smaller
items
The real estate tax is levied ON an
assessed valuation of $S,IO0,000,0 900 |
In other words, that amount is what
the ground and buildings in New
York City have been estimated TO be
worth, This valuation ii is the belief
of competent real estate men, is now
largely in excess of the real value of
the city's real estate. During the
last year of MAYOR Lows administers
ton, and during Mayor McClennan's
administration and that of Mayor
Gaynor, several billions Fwere added
to the assessed Valuation OF the city, |
although in most cases the increased !
assessments were not warranted |
