GOVERNOR eRAHAM's ADVICE

| Governor Graham's straightforward
demand for reorganization of the
state methods of doing business has
| raised an awful chorus of discord
from some OF those who would be
displaced and from their friends.
In some of these complaints there
is undoubted justice. For Instance
the fish and game department is one
of the biggest and most important de-
partments of the state business. Over
40,000 Vermonters either fish or hunt
and many of them do both All OF
these are deeply interested in fish
and game propagation and preserya-
ton They want at the head of the
| department the very best talent avail
able. The place requires special
knowledge. expert training and abili-
| ty to manage large affairs.
To fill the office of Commissioner
of Game and Fisheries requires more
ability than to fill the Office Of state
treasurer. state auditor, tax commits
sioner and other important Offices yet
the governor proposes two thousand
dollar department Of game and fish
cries while a three thousand dollar
salary is advised for the other places
OF certainly no greater importance.
The governor has clearly erred in
dealing with this great business inter
est of the state of Vermont but he has
done so honestly because he himself
does not fish or hunt and therefore
he does not realize the intense per
sonal interest that half the male pop-
ulation OF Vermont has in fish and
game. The point to remember though
is that his failure to cover every last
detail should not discredit the ire
mendous importance of his message.
There are other features Of Cover
nor Graham's advice which probably
need further study He has looked
at the situation from the point of view
OF the man who pays the bills and in
some cases his perspective may have
been not wholly clear but he has per
formed a great state service in out
lining basis of doing the state bust
ness in a less extravaganza and waste
full form He has shown clearly the
urgent need Of a concentration OF re-
sponsibility in state board OF con
,rol. The state Of Vermont is now
spending over two million dollars
year and the sllpshod system OF a
past generation is no longer fitted tol
the modern needs Of Vermant
The people and taxpayers Of the
state of Vermont demand Of the legis-
latuIe that It give heed to the mes
sage of Governor Graham. They ex-
pect that in going into the question
they will find some changes from his
proposals desirable but they do not
desire the legislature to allow Office
holders-whether they be judge oil
the supreme court or minor ap
pCintees of an unimportant bureau
to stand in the way of needed pro.
gress.
With so many officials, from petty
place TO high position, seeking by di
rect attack and secret scheming to
discredit the governors proposals, it !
will take strong and patriotic legis,
lature not to be turned from a righte-
Gus purpose. Is the Legislature of
1917 big enough to do its duty?

The shortage Of coal has been de
laying the sailing of transatlantic
liners from New York OF late. This
is serious matter, yet not so serious
as the burden the people of the coun-
try have been bearing for many
months. 1t is high time that the coal
monopoly was ripped from stem to
stern, and if there is power in the
country to do this it ought to be ap-
piled without delay.--North Adamp

To the ordinary citizen it seems a
strange thing that congress and the
Administration at Washington should
spend so much of its time fusslng
over trivial business while the people
of the country are being robbed daily

been murdered by German subma-

alarm the extortions of the coal trust,

Mexico City. Oct. 2S.-Great ex,
inent has been created through pub
ilcation in Ell Universal of statement
by Gen. Pablo Gonzales former com
inander of the Carranza forces in
Mexico City and a well-known consti-
nationalist, favoring Mexico following
the example of other Latin American
countries and severing diplomatic re.
lations with Germany.
The chamber of deputies in secret
session yesterday afternoon rejected
by large majority a proposal that a
committee of the chamber be sent to
the president to request that govern
ment officials exert vigilance Sunday
afternoon to Sc that no disorders of
an International character developed
the holding of a manifestation in ia
vor OF neutrality.
In his statement General Gonzales
declares this is an epoch in which
neither men nor nations can exist iso-
lated and there is no nation in which
the conditions of other nations do not
find reflection, in view of the magni-
tude of the present world conflict. He
emphasizes the fact that he speaks
only in an unofficial capacity, adding:
AS man and by natural, spon-
taneous impulse against what has
been revealed before my eyes, and In
cause full of reason and justice, |

lean and citizen of a country which

simple citizen of my country, for
whose interests IL Is my duty to be for
ever on the watch, l consider II most
essential that Mexico should direct

1T Ia lamentable that some Mex

that the United States is only one

follows:
The chief part of the burden of
