The strong opposition of the rail
roads to Senator Dunklce s inter
changeable mileage bill viii no doubt
sidetrack the measure, and if it is true
that interchangeable books would cost
each road from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year there is probably reason in the
request that the burden be not imposed
at this time. But in introducing the
bill Senator DunkIee no doubt had in
mind the confusing situation that ex-
lists between Brattleboro and South
Vernon where Central Vermont mile
age is required on certain Boston &
Maine trains because they are run over
Central Vermont tracks although there
is parallel line owned by the Boston
& Maine on the other side of the Con
necticut river. To the traveller who
knows the Boston & Maine has o
through line from Windsor to Green,
field it certainly is annoying to be
called upon for Central Vermont mile
age for q portion Of the distance.

The definite plan for the reorganiza-
ton of the Boston q Maine railroad
which is now before the Massachusetts
is sure to be test of the
business sense of that body, and there
seems to be q feeling that the men who
compose the present General Court will
respond TO the test in manner that
will give due consideration to all the
interests involved. This is more than
could have been expected of the last
legislature, whose personnel contained
too liberal sprinkling of small poll
ticians to make the chances of any
such scheme very bright III consider
ing the Boston & Maine ease it must
be borne in mind that the road is on
the verge of bankruptcy and that if
the property went to smash the value
of its stock would be. wiped out and
a lower standard of public service es-
tablished for years to come. Further
more, the immense amount of notes
which the road must meet in March

business connections in New York and
Philadelphia with railroad, banking,
manufacturing and real estate affairs.
He built an extensive system of water

ago turned this property over to the
village, the gift probably being the
most valuable ever presented to a Yer

The worst quarter. in steel's history,
When II did not even earn its prefer
red dividend, may be due to "the
state OF mind' upon which President
wilson dwells with tiresome insistence.
No doubt some of the depression is
caused by the war Still there must
be significance in the fact that as late
as 1913, nine months of which the
Payne Aldrieh Republican tariff was
IN force and three months of which
the Underwood tariff had not yet had
time to accomplish mischief, steel
broke it's record for big business and
earnings. Then earnings applicable to
common stock were equal to ii per
cent, and now there are none what
ever. In fact 1914, with the Demo
| cratic tariff operative throughout,
breaks the record for small earnings.
The difference between these two
years under different tariffs is the diff
ference between $137, 133,363 net earn
ings in 1913 and 81 ,661 JAG net in
1914. What the falling off in com
pensation to employees has been is not

One does not have to look far to find
of the law s delays. Here
is a recent example: After more than
a year of litigation it has been deter
mined that the difficulty between
George c.. Averill of this town and the
Vermont Valley railroad is a matter
which must be settled in q court of
law instead of court of chancery.
This is the only point in the case that
has been settled, and it is point
which the average layman knows moth
ing about and cares nothing about.
The ease stands now just where it did
when it was started except that the
parties concerned have probably paid
out considerable sum in attorney s
| fees and more than a year of valuable
time has been wasted The merits OF
| the dispute have vet to be settled
