Many strong arguments are being
made in favor of bonding the state
to build highways. This looks good,
but there is a restraining hand on
such action when we consider that
the state is asked to go into debt
two million dollars in one plunge.
In order to pay the interest on this
bonded Indebtedness the state would
have to raise tax annually and to
make payment on the principal the
tax would be quite a burden for a
long term of years. 1t seems to us
the far better course would be t.
take the sum the state would have to
pay as interest on this proposed in
debtedness, and apply it each year
to building trunk lines through the
state, the work to be done under the
direction of the state highway COM
missioner. In this way long before
we could pay interest and principal
en- a two million dollar debt. the
state would have splendid trunk line
highways and be free from a large
and annoying debt. The New Eng

The passage of the vocational edu-
cational bill by Congress marks a
forward step in the efficiency of our
public schools and make it possible
for the boys and girls to take up a
course of study for which they are
adapted. The passage of this bill is
a credit to Senator Carroll S. Page,
who originally introduced the meas
ure and worked so ably for it's pas
sage. Although Senator Pages bill
was defeated, the good work he did
then has born fruit, and his able
work and loyal support, even when
the measure did not bear his name,
are matters for which Vermont is
justly proud.
