GREATER ECONOMY NECESSARY.

Two facts stand out clearly and con-
spicuously in connection with the adj
ministration of Vermont affairs. We
can not wisely increase the taxes on
corporations. 1t follows that we have
about reached the limit of income for
the State treasury for general pur-
poses. On the other hand, we are sure
to face Increased demands for appro-
better service in various directions
Under these circumstances It will be
absolutely necessary for the next gov
ernor's administration to economic
wherever this can be wisely done.
In this connection the Brattleboro
Reformer says:
AN interesting argument in behalf of
central board of control to have
charge Of most of the States institu-
tions, buildings and offices, save those
of an educational character, is made by
the Rutland Herald. which asserts that
NtilIlpIIl lt-lSldllNS ana executive
machinery is sufficient for common
wealth ten times its population and
wealth. The boards which the Herald
would include in a central governing
body are the board of penal institutions,
supervisors Of insane, sergeant alarms
state purchasing agent, board Of
accountants and board of armory COM
missoners. 1t is difficult for one not
thoroughly versed in the workings of
the States machinery to say just what
sort of a consolidation should be made
but there can be no doubt that the
present arrangement is both cumbersome
and inefficient-an organization that
would be discarded Immediately by any
well managed private business"
There will be differences of opinion as
to just what boards should be CONSOLE
dated, but there is plainly an oppor-
tunity for genuine and wise economy in
the directions indicated

MIR, HUGHES Is PROGRESSIVE,

UrOm the New York Globe Ind't RepO
progressive-we speak now of spirit rath-
err than of details. His instinct is to inn
prove the world rather than keep it as
good or as bad. as it is The stormy
four years he passed as governor of
New York afforded ample evidence that
reforming is in his blood. In his calm
and cold and non-democratc way he
entertans ideals of public service and
of the function of political parties that
are rigid and uncompromisinG. lie is the
sort of man that politicians OF the prac-
teal kind feel aversion to and which
they accept only when there is political
necessity.
Perception OF this fact, before things
became heated. led Colonel Roosevelt
to put the name OF Mr.. Hughes months
ago on the list of those he could accept
and support The silence of Mr. Hughes
concerning vital matters has since bred
irritation. but the tentative refusal Of
Colonel Roosevelt to be a candidate is
to be attributed to reversion to these
earlier views as perhaps the Just ones
A good deal Of nonsense has been talk
ed during the pre-convention campaign,
rognition of the fact. There is no
good reason to doubt the essential
soundness of the Americansm of Mr..
Hughes, or for suspicion that his mind
fails to react in favor of the great prin-
ciples that Colonel Roosevelt has done
conspicuous service by emphasizing.

WAR WITH MEXICO.

The outstanding feature of the situa-
tion as regards our Mexican relations
is the establishing of the fact that
when we went into Mexico it. meant
war. No matter how this situation
may have developed or what mistakes
may have led up to the present crisis,
the only thing for the American people
to do at this time is to prepare them
selves for the worst.
The immediate cause Of the present
critical stage of the conflict was Gen
eral Trevno's message to General
Pershing, commander of the American
evolutionary force, that any movement
OF American troops from their present
position to the south, east or west
would be considered hostile act and a
signal to begin warfare.
Compliance with this mandate meant
nothing but the retirement of the
American expedition, unless we are 10
consider the impossible alternative of
standing still. Retreat under existing
conditions is unthinkable.
General Pershing in reply to General
Trevno announced that the American
troops under his command would move
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1916-06-22


The other outstanding features OF the
situation all seem to point to expecta-
ton of early hostiities on a broad scale
In the first place, 1t is to be noted that
Americans are pouring out Of Mexico in
every direction; and the transport sum
ner has been despatched to Tampico to
take all Americans from that port
The state department has instructed
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roose-
welt to do everything possible to get
Americans out Of Mexico before the
break comes.
Another interesting development is the
apparent flaming of all northern Mex
leo into burning patriotism in response
to Carranza's ultmatum to the United
States and his invitation to all factions
to unite in opposition to the Americans.
In this emergency various State milf
tia organizations will be called into i'm
mediate service, but even this move Will
not fully meet the exigencies of the
situation. The militia can not be sent
into Mexico. but that force can be used
to advantage for the purpose Of guard
Ing the frontier and thus releasing the
regulars now performing that service
for duty in Mexico.
For time the United States will he
in an embarrassing position owing to
lack OF adequate forces with which to
meet the situation in Mexico. The Mex
leans have been engaged in warfare for
years now and much Of their country
Is an armed camp. Owing to the i'm
| mense distances to be covered it will
| require a large force to guard our COM
| draws the advance lines back toward
| the border where a smaller force can
be utilized to better advantage. This,
manifestly, will mean the surrender of
valuable ground from military point
of view, for the territory now occupied
must be taken over again, once it is
\ rellnqulShed.
For n time various humiliatng expert
ences are liable to come to the Ameri-
can people in connection with Mexico,
but once the die is cast, there can be
no question of the outcome. The Mexi-
can problem may as well be solved now
as later, and the sooner 1t is settled tho
| better will 1t be for both Mexicans and
| the American people.

COURSE OF THE ROOSEVELT RE-
PUBLICAN COMMITTEE.

The Roosevelt republican committee,
of which Col. F. e. Burgess Of Bur-
lington Is member. has done the
patriotic thing by swinging into limo for
the republican candidate for the presi-
dency of the United States Mr. Hughes
has received the following communica-
ton from George V. L. Meyer, chairman
of the Roosevelt republican committee:
THE Roosevelt republican committee
was organized to support Colonel Roose-
welt in his advocacy Of Americanism and
preparedness and to unite the Republi-
can party upon him as its cand idate
because of his leadership in the
presentation Of these principles The
strongly tnunciated these principles in
its platform, and the committee feels
that the chief purpose of its existence
has been accomplished. Charles f.
Hughes, the candidate of the Republican
party, stands upon this platform, and
the committee therefore urges every
believes in Americanism and prepared
ness to support him.
THE committee has finished its work
but it's individual members will give
their earnest support to Mr. Hughes
The committee expresses its complete
confidence that Mr.. Hughes will be
elected to the presidency in November"
The Roosevelt republican committee
had separate headquarters in the Con-
gress Hotel in Chicago as distinguished
from the Progressive party headquarters
In the Auditorium. 1t worked upon Its
own lines seeking the nomination of
Mr.. Roosevelt by the republican conven-
ton. The course adopted by Chairman
Meyer and his colleagues will unoues-
tionably help pave the way for the
complete reuniting of the party and for
the triumph which he predicts in
November.

when Hughes was made governor He

half The bosses did not want him:
he could make them no promises Il was
the president Of the United States Thoo-

1T required some plain language from
President Roosevelt and some diplomatic
work on the part of those who repre-
scented him to consent to the nomination
of Mr. Hughes"
During the convention Hughes wired
to Senator PAGE in reply to an inquiry:

cordng to my conscience If elected,
it will he my ambition to give the state
