go as far as possible and stop piling
up these big debts which compel an in
terest drain spread over a long term
of years. 1t may be hard to pay the
principa4 but once paid it is out of
the way.-Bennington Banner.
The Banner s argument was voiced
in the very town meeting which took
the action of which the contemporary
disapproves. The pay-as-you-go policy
is the best as a rule, especially when
it pertains to expenses not incurred for
improvements of permanent charac-
ter, but Brattleboro' action last Tues
day was based on q feeling that the
present year was a particularly bad
one in which to burden the town with
q largely increased tax rate The
voters did not in reality increase the
town s bonded indebtedness, having
paid off during the year an amount
equivalent to the sum added, but sim
ply postponed reducing it until a more
suspicious time.

There is one clause that must enter
into any prohibitory statute in order
to make it effective-the penalty
clause. Congresses, legislatures, par
liaments may pass laws prohibiting
this and prohibiting that, until they
are blue in the face, and there will be
absolutely no effect to any of them if
no penalty attaches to their violation.
That is just what is the matter with
the various protests, diplomatic repre-
sentations, notes of inquiry, etc, that
we have been exchanging with Euro
pean nations upon the question of our
maritime and commercial rights. we
have announced that We could not ac.

But We have never given the faintest
intimation that we should do anything
about it in case the offender kept on

protests will be in vain.

When town has debts, and most
of them have, there is the wisdom of
letting them run and paying interest
for years with the absolute certainty
of having the principal to pay later?
Brattleboro claims to be progressive
and well governed town and the tax
rate there is not excessive compared
with other Vermont towns yet with a
floating debt of a few thousand dol
lars, Brattleboro last Tuesday reduced
its tax rate and adds its floating debt
to its funded obligations. 1t looks to
the Banner to be poor business and we
believe that all towns would find ii
better in the long run to pay as they

VAIL ON EDUCATION.

IneOuOFe N. All mas SHOWN MS ueep
interest in Vermont in many ways.
The splendid work that has been done
in the schools which he founded at
Lyndonville is proof of the sincerity
of his wish to improve and enlarge ed
vocational opportunity in this state. On
this account special interest attaches
to his letter to Governor Gates on the
educational bill now before the legis-
lature. As one of the educational
commission on whose recommendations
the bill is based Mr.. Vail is in po-
sition to speak with authority, not only
as to the influences which brought the
commission into being but also about
the reasons which prompted the com
mission s recommendations. Mr.. Vail
holds the belief that the two principal
objections to the bill are Fletcherism
end Capitalization, and in his letter to
Governor Gates he disposes of these
objections effectually.
Without attempting to belittle the
value of the idea of revising the
state 5 educational methods he points
out that Ex-Governor Fletcher made no
attempt to influence the commission
! in its work and took little or no part
! in the meetings at which the educc-
tional report was shaped, simply act
ing as representative of the people in
an effort to solve a problem of vital
! interest to all of them. Centraliza-
| tion, Mr.. Vail thinks, is necessary for
two reasons: % the infinitely greater
need of expert supervision at present
than when the state educational sys-
TEN was established: 90 the i'm
portanee Of equalizing educational OPP
portunity SO that the children of the
rural communities may have all the
advantages that the children of the
large towns and cities have.
The Reformer has known from the
first that some of the opposition to the
educational bill was due to a desire IL
certain quarters to discredit every
thing with which Ex-Governor Fletcher
was connected, but it seems impossible
that political soreheadedness of this
kind should be allowed to have any
bearing on the merits of the question
But if such a regrettable situation
does exist Mr.. Vail s frank lette
: ought to convince even the most stub
born anti-Fletcherite that the educa
tional commission did its own think
ing and reached its own conclusions
| As to the Capitalization proposition
it ought to be perfectly evident that i
the state is to make an effort to equal
ize educational opportunity by putin,
| the country schools on the same basi
| as those in the larger communities tn
Il only hope of success lies in centralize
4 control of the most expert kind. TIL
II funds to make possible this equaliza
II tion must of necessity be raised an
II distributed in much the same way tina
/ Vermont highway funds are handled
and it would be folly to think of at
tanning the desired ends without ON
II central seat of authority.
ii The small towns are the chief direc
u benefciaries of the plan contemplate
: in the educational bill, and the repre-
Z sentatives from the small towns ougf
to use this fact to season some of tn
perfervid arguments of the speci;
] pleaders that have appeared agains
the measure.
