Sane Terms of Peace

Sir Edward Grey, foreign secre-
tary of England, while making an
add ess in London last week gave an
outline of England's purpose in the
present war. After placing the re-
sponsibility for beginning the war on
Germany, he said: This is the
fourth time within living memory
that Prussia has made war upon
Europe and we are determined it shall
be the last
Discussing the terms of peace he
said:
'Tn due time terms of peace will
be put forward by the allies. One
essential condition must be the resto-
ration of Belgium to her Independent
national life and free possession of
her territory The great issue is
this: We wish the nations of Eu-
rope to be free to live their independ-
ent lives, working out their own form
of government and their own form
of national development in full lib
erty whether they be great states or
small states. That is our ideal.
1.-THE German ideal is that the
Germans are a superior people to
whom all things are lawful and
against whom resistance is unlawful
and must be put down, that they must
establish domination over the ma
tions of the continent and that all
must be subservient to Germany.

Land Banks Coming

Although no bill establishing land
banks or rural credits was introduced
in the legislature of 1915, it is prob
able that in the near future the peo-
pie of Vermont will be seriously con-
sidering the enactment of such law
1.-THE system has been so successfully
undertaken in Europe and in few
states in this country that it is bound
to appeal to the public mind. Mas
sachusetts has a bill before its leg
islature that was drawn by the west
ern Massachusetts transportation
commission but it does not seem
likely to be passed this term.
The bill provides that land banks
should issue bonds amply secured by
underlying first mortgages on farms,
the titles to which are vested in the
occupants. The mortgagor should
make such annual payments as would
amortize the loan within reasonable
period, and these payments upon the
principal, plus the savings out of in
terest payments, would constantly &C
crue to the credit of the loan. By
this method the safety of a loan con-
stantly increases since the full
amount Of farm real estate is retained
as security until the loan is entirely
paid off. The commission says:
1t is estimated that with the i'm
proved method of land finance pro-
vided for in the commissions bill,
many of the present $4,000 farm
mortgages would be refunded into the
new system and gradually paid on;
also that in the course of time 5000
additional mortgages might be writ
ten for the purpose of buying or i'm
proving farms Assuming that even
tually land banks may take over half
of the existing mortgages and pro-
vide for 5000 new ones, this would
represent SIS, 100000 of bonds. The
land bank could begin business quite
effectively with a capital Of $4,000
or more.
The system has proven safe and
beneficial where it has been tried
and every Vermonter who desires to
see the encouragement of farm own
ership in this state should begin a
careful study of the problem that it
may be intelligently acted upon at
the proper time.

They were not good enough for Mrs
Blank and she will have nothing of
them. Mr.. Garment Seller hasn't a
fair chance, the prospective buyer
has been prejudiced against what he
expected to be his best sellers in adj
But there is a stronger argument
than fair play with the merchant,
that is the matter of health. For in
stance, would you, Mrs. Society Wom-
an, like to take into your home and
try on a garment that had previously
been sent to and tried on by some
woman suffering with a loathsome
disease? A scratch in your skin or
the prick of a pin might infect you
with the trouble you had always
thought yourself safe from. Would
you like to have your child try on a
garment that had been sent to a
house where a child was coming
down with scarlet fever or some other
contagious disease? Epidemics of
dangerous child diseases have been
started in just that way. The store
keeper knew nothing about the dan
gerous disease that was developing
and possibly the person themselves
did not but that does not lessen the
risk you are taking in coming in con-
tact with the germs of disease. As a
matter of sanitation the sending of
goods here and there on approval will
be stopped all over the country and
the woman who felt the most hurt
at first will be the most pleased when
she realizes that the custom is dis
honest and unsafe.

Mortified. William Noonan of Pan
ton, C. H. Smith OF Bridport, Edmund
Lafranchise of Bennington, M. l..
Powell of Burlington, ID. S. Conant
of Bradford, H. J. Roberts of Pawlet
and N. L. Divoll of Rockingham.
The legislature of 1915 will be
acknowledged as a diligent body. Al
though only two other legislatures
were longer in session, we do
not recall another legislature
that had so much important business
before it as the present body. The
settlement of the court question, the
direct primary law, workmen's COM
pensation act, revision of the school
laws. a general Incorporation law, re-
vision of the statutes to comply with
the amended constitution, the prohi-
bition-referendum act, the proposal
to simplify court proceedings, accept
ance Of the great Vail gift and the
regulation of venereal disease are all
new and unusual matters. Not all
of them have been enacted but they
were big subjects and the passage of
any one of them would be creditable
to a legislature. In addition to these
unusual things there was a railroad
fight, woman suffrage, new fish and
game legislation and the taxation
struggle required a vast amount of
work.
So it must be admitted that it was
an honest, hard working body. 1t
did some things some of us did not
want 1t to and left undone some
things that some of us wanted done,
but what legislature has not? We
may criticise some things when the
record is complete but we must say
its record as a whole is very credit
able and the great majority OF the
members will return to their homes
with the consciousness that they have
served the grand little state of Yer
mont diligently and honorably.

81 would rather perish or leave the
continent altogether than live in it
under such conditions. After this
war we and the other nations OF Eu-
rope must be free to live without the
Interference of the superior war lord; ;
without the clang of armor and the
sword continually ratified in the scab-
bard; heaven continually invoked and
without our policy being dictated by
the military domination of Prussia.
We claim for ourselves and together
with our allies we will secure that
right to live and pursue our national
existence not in the shadow OF Prus-
sian supremacy, but in the light OF
equal liberty"
If England insists on nothing more
unreasonable than this the world
will support its demands. All civil
lized people begin to feel that 1t is
time the Almighty had little rest
instead of being kept continually
fighting with the Kaiser.

Dresses On Approval

Doubtless every lady who will take
the time to read this article has beer
into the best ladies garments stores
in her town or perhaps in the big
gest hub, it has been her privilege
to visit, and had several of the bes,
garments in the store sent to hel
home ION approval" That is a Gus
tom the stores have adopted in the
hope of increasing their trade. Prob
ably a large proportion of these
stores would not dare to refuse to
send goods out ION approval" Prob
ably nine ladies out of every ten who
were refused goods 'ton approval
would give a two or four reel exhibi-
ton of indignation at double quick
pace. But, dear ladies, the time is
fast approaching when you will not
dare to even ask for goods sent ION
approval.
Some of the largest and most
prosperous garment dealers have
abolished the practice of letting
goods out on approval from their
stores and now the matter has been
brought before the Association of
American Garment Retailers at a
meeting held in New York City and
all the members of that organization
are giving serious consideration to
the reasons why the practice should
be stopped. Here are some of the
reasons given by B. A. Albin of the
Hart-Albin Co. of Billings, Mont:
Oftentimes an exclusive Paris
gown is sent to some prominent so
ciety woman on approval and return
ed within a week or ten days. The
next social function reveals the fact
that the woman had a dressmaker
come in and use the garment as
copy and make a similar gown for
her. As soon as she was through
pilfering the use Of the gown as a
model, it was returned to the store
and then if sold caused great indig
nation on the part of the customer
to find there was another dress in
town exactly like hers. So costly
dresses do not go out on approval.
Another thing that attends goods
"sent on approval" is that the wom-
an does not take the dresses home
to inspect by herself. She wants her
friends to see them. So in they
come in response to the telephone and
the expensive gowns are handled
over, thrown on chairs, beds and
sometimes the floor after being given
the most searching examination by
Mrs Blank and her friends. Some
of these friends go into the store a
week later and ask to see some
dresses. Those same garments she
houted about at her friends house
are shown but do not interest her.

Protection to Vermonters.

The failure of senate bill number
46, the Boston and Maine reorgani-
cation bill, to pass the legislature,
will delight all VermOnters who
have money invested in Vermont rail-
roads that are leased to the Boston
and Maine system. A casual reading
of the bill might not reveal it's real
danger but Sen. Simonds exposed
several dangerous features before it
was adopted by the senate. The bill
ers of the Vermont roads under lease
to the Boston and Maine to sell their
roads to that corporation whether
they wished to or not. If any stock
holder refused to sell his stock the
buying corporation could take it from
him by paying an appraised value of
the stock.
That would be a very high handed
proceeding and a very unjust one to
the owners of the Vermont roads.
Vermonters generally would prefer
one railroad system in northern New
England, providing that system was
not given power to Cypress other rail-
road interests or the public, but they
would not assent to forcing the own
er of railroad stock to sell it against
his will. The leases of the Vermont
roads are claimed to be very advan-
tageous to them but they are a con-
tract and we do not see how the
legislature has the power to abrogate
a contract unless it is against pub
lie interest.
If the Boston and Maine through
bankruptcy proceedings or other
method is able to break the contracts
with the owners of Vermont roads,
these owners certainly are entitled to
the opportunity of managing or dis
posing of their property as they deem
best. 1t is not impossible that it
would be more profitable for the
roads to operate their own property
than to accept the terms of the Bos
ton and Maine. If so it would be
simply piracy for the legislature to
take that right from them and COM
pei them to accept whatever the pur-
chaser was willing to offer. YER
monters are certainly entitled to pro
lection from such vicious legislation
as was proposed in the Boston and
Maine reorganization bill

The Legislature of 1918

We had expected to be able to pre-
sent our readers in this issue fine
obituary Of the Legislature Of 1915
but the best we can say is that the
end is expected most any day. No
accurate or complete review of it's
work can be undertaken until it has
passed into dissolution because as
long as a legislature continues to
meet unknown possibilities are i'm
minent. Some things can be said
now, however.
Speaker John w. Weeks has made
good. He is not a snowy man but
has kept the members at their tasks
and so far as possible expedited the
work of the session. His success as
speaker is a fine browning of his ca
reer at Montpelier.
The session will be closed without
the development of a real leader.
About twenty men have shown some
influence in the house and have been
on the right side of nearly all the
important questions before that body
but they have not always been able
to swing the house to their support.
Among these men are Redfield Proc
tor of Proctor, Warner A. Graham of
Bellows Falls, Stanley A. Wilson of
Chelsea, A. L. Hewitt of Plainfeld,
]. Gregory Smith of st. Adams, NJ. G.
Morse of Hardwick, w. p Russell of
Kirby, A. w. Foote of Cornwall,

land, B. r. Demerritt of Duxbury.

these resolutions is to remedy the al
legged wrong done by the state in de-
priving the schools of Vermont of the
funds established in 1925 and to
place upon a well established basis as
registered loan of the state, these
funds that were given specifically for
the benefit of the states educational
system.
The act to which reference has
been made, III 410, introduced from
the committee on education, provides
that the amount of avails accruing
from the fees received for the licens-
ing of peddlers and auctioneers, and
the fees received for the licensing of
circuses and menageries, shall be Sc
Questered and granted to the trus-
tees of the permanent school fund,
the fees to be distributed annually as
the income from each fund is dis
tributed ''for the purpose of equaliz-
ing opportunities and rates of ex-
penditure in the public educational
system"
1t is expected that approximately
$4,000 will be received from these
fees each year. The restored fund
of 1925 at four per cent will give an
income of about $1,000 so that as
already stated it is expected that the
annual income of the permanent
school fund will be increased approx
imately $4,000 as a result of this
new legislation.

benefit of the common schools and
to no other use; that the amount of
the states funds accruing from the s
per cent on the net profits Of the re-
spective banks chartered by this state
which had accrued or. might there
in accrue, and funds received from
licenses to peddlers should be Sc
questered and granted to the various
towns of the state "for the benefit of
the common schools and to no other
USE; that the accommodating school
fund "shall not be diminished or ap-
propriated for the use of schools until
the amount of the principal of said
fund shall increase to a sum sufficient
to yield an annual profit and interest
adequate to defray the current ex-
penses of keeping a good, free COM
mon school in each district in the
respective towns for the period of two
months in each and every year.
Act of 1888.
The resolution refers to the fact
that in 1888 the legislature passed
an act directing the commissioner of
this school fund not to loan any more
money from said fund but to deposit
the same in the treasury as received
and the treasury was to charge the
state with the interest on all money
so deposited which should be consid-
cred as borrowed from said fund. In
1845 the legislature abolished this
school fund, repealed the acts relat-
ing to it and provided that after ap-
plying so much of the fund as might
be necessary to cancel the indebted
ness of the state to said fund, the
balance should be put into the treas
ury ''for the use and benefit of the
state"
The resolution just adopted deal
ing with this matter declares: THAT
the state ought in equity and good
conscience to return to the public
the principal sum at least of
this fund, which, in the year 1845
amounted to 1894, 90O.44." 1t pro-
vides that the state treasurer is au-
thorized to issue to the trustees Of
the permanent school fund of this
state, certificates of the registered
loans of this state redeemable July
I, 1925, with interest at four per cent
annually which interest shall be pay
able July LIST each year to the trus-
tees of the permanent school fund.
This loan is to be inscribed on the
books of the state treasurer and sec
rotary of state respectively, in the
sum of 1924, 9OO.44, and the certifl-
Gates shall bear the seals of the two
officials mentioned. The interest of
these certificates is to be added to
the income of the permanent school
fund and is to be distributed in a
manner similar to that provided for
distribution of the interest on the GER
tificates respecting the Huntington
fund.

George H. Stiles to Donald M. Tobin
brings the Tobin family back into
the newspaper circle. They will be
warmly welcomed and it is hoped that
such a live wire as Mr.. Stiles will not
abandon the Vermont field.
