Chance for Bright Minds.
Bennington Banner.)

kOtAIlItSlOA bouISIJ
The visit of Bennington and Viii
mington business men to Brattleboro
has greatly stimulated interest in the
road over the mountain from Benniug
ton to Brattleboro. The scenic value
of this road is easily superior to
the Mohawk trail, but in order to ad-
vertise it properly those most interest
ed think it desirable to have an attrac-
tive name for the route. The Brat
tleboro Reformer suggests that it be
called the Ethan Allen Trail or Ethan
Allen Highway. Secretary James Z.
Taylor of the Greater Vermont asso-
citation, in his remarks at Brattleboro
proposed that inasmuch as it would con
meet Bennington and Brattleboro. with
Wilmington as the halfway point, it
be called the Double B Double L
route. Any one of these names might
be satisfactory unless a better can be
found, but there are those who thinl
/ it would be possible to suggest a bet
ter title. President w. H. Nichols in
| vites any one who has a good title tC
suggest for the proposed highway thai
/ they send it to him or to the secretary
/ of the board of trade. This is a goo,
chance for some of the bright minds
/ of southern Vermont for the advertis
/ ing value of good name is not to b,
despised.

Vermont Flora,
(Rutland Herald.)

The result of the collection of flow
ering plants by the Fairbanks museum
IN st. Johnsbury will be fairly sur
prising to people who have no definite
knowledge of Vermont flora. A news
item states that 534 varieties of flow
ering plants have been displayed, 4G
species of ferns and IS species of
MOSES. Most of these come from the
immediate vicinity of the village. but
the surprising thing is their great
range of variation. How many Yer
monters can tell, offhand, 80 varie-
ties of Towering plants, to say nothing
of 500?

LEGAL Pride Taken Temporarily.

Local pride is Il mighty good thing
when taken temporarily and not carried
TO excess. If we lived in Montpelier We
should probably be just as enthusiastic

city as any of the bunch of royal
Tooters.' We DO not blame them for
wanting handsome and imposing sep

to account environment, skill, the fact
of better clothes being needed when
employees are brought into contact with

nationality of the workers, when, for
example. Il certain class dominates q
trade.
After the end of the present year
any department stores employer who
pays skilled employees less than eight
dollars and q half week will be under
the ban; the minimum wages for minors
between seventeen and eighteen years
OF age shall be six dollars; those who
are eighteen or over, even when UNI
skilled, must be paid seven dollars d
week, and for those under seventeen
the weekly age must be at least five
dollars q week.
These rates are for full-time work by
which is meant the full number OF
hours per week required by employers
and permitted by law. Extra or part
time work Is to receive at least the
same scale OF pay pro rata for the time
actually employed. II compensation j.

earth. as we are fond to say. and we
expect more OF il than we ought to
demand of any other city. We have
every right to entertain the ambition
that eventually it must be the nnest
city known among men.
During the last quarter OF century
we have evolved civic ideals or winch
we barely dreamed previously. These
ideals pertain to civic functions as well
as municipal magnif1cence in the phy-
sicaI sense. They have TO do with the
attainment of conditions wherein the
cIty Will become a comfortably and
wholesomely appointed home for all Its
residents: wherein will be found the
most effective agencies OF education,
recreation and culture working 10 the
beneft of the entire community. IN
it's own physical appearance that city
is a city of art as well as comfort and
healthfulness. and as assisting men
and women to the realization OF their
best aspiration, it is the communal
triumph of modern times.
That is the sort of city. developed
to Its nth powAr. which the Ameri-
can people should insist Washington
should be. We venture to assert that
the intelligent and patriotic American
who stops to consider the twentieth
century function of cities will not be
content with any cheese pairing policy
that will prevent the American capital
from becoming. as il should become,
the first capital Of the world.

II is not the. ideal in American CITY
building Of which Americans are
capable. and short of that, its destiny
is not properly fulfilled
Until recently the American nation
and the Washington municipality have
maintained partnership in the up
keep Of the capital, and without any
suggestion that the national end Of the
Copartnership was not absolutely lust
and Warrantable. But that suggestion
has arisen Of late, and in response to 1t
there has been shown a congressional
disposition to sever the connection and
LEI Washington go 1t alone.
The arguments advanced in support
OF this proposition lack the punch
They set up double taxation on the
part Of the average American citizen
taxes assessed by his home state and
city. plus his contribution to the ma
fional support of the Capital city.
They urge that inasmuch az every
other American city must stand on it's
own feet and support itself, Washing
ton should be no whit less independent
than the rest.
Both arguments are futile and trivial
The national government contributes s
something like $6,000.O00 a year to the
maintenance OF Washington. and this
divided among the population of the
country gives a resultant tax, per
capita. that IL ridiculousIy negligible.
Concerning the other argument the
Capital city has call for dependence
on the rest Of the country that does
not obtain in the case of any other

The abuse Of narcotic drugs involves

health questions that collectively con-
stitute one of the most serious prob
lens before the people of the United
States today" says the bulletin.
In order to bring about uniformity
In enactment and enforcement OF anti
narcotic laws, it is suggested, those
who are interested in the subject
should make a careful comparative
study Of the existing laws to determine
the reasons for the inadequacy of thesc
laws. Statistics should be compiled
showing the nature and extent OF the
use of habit forming drugs. and cara
est efforts should be made to secure
uniform legislation which will prevent
the misuse of such drugs
drug addiction is regarded as a dis
systematic treatment for those ad-
dicted to the use of drugs, while in
Michigan such a person may be adj
judged incompetent and a guardian APP
pointed. A law recently enacted in
Tennessee permits the sale of mar
cotics to drug addicts registered ac-
cording to the law. Similar laws exist
in other states. but the New York
law for treatment of drug addicts is
considered the better measure.
The principal shortcomings of the
present laws are that no method ot
enforcement is outlined and no specific
appropriations are made for their en-
