The road question is before the
state legislature at Montpelier as it
always is and there seems some rea-
sen to fear that the legislature is go
ing to prove too tirnid in spending
money for this important state inter-
est. AS far as the signs OF the times
are apparent we believe that they
show that the great majority of the
people OF Vermont are ready and will
ing to spend more money for roads II
it can be used intelligently and with
out waste. We are convinced that If
the lawmakers will strengthen the
state highway department by the ad-
dition OF an engineer and provide for
proper supervision and an equitable
division of the funds the legislature
can go rs far as It likes In voting
money for reads and have the approx
Il of the state. One feature OF the
business, however, should be inn
pressed on the gentlemen at Montpel-
er and that is that the people OF
Vermont want more attention paid to
he tributary roads which are not
,runk lines. Il would be a fine thing
o have wide boulevards on all the
trunk lines for through automobiles
md we hope for them at some future
ime. but right here and now the peo-
lie demand. we believe, that the other
-oads share at least equally with the
trunk lines in attention and expendi

Pestiferous B. Weevil
Cuts Mississippi Crop

JACKSON, Miss. Sept. 14.-Boll Vice.
wills are now playing havoc with the Mis-
sissippi cotton crop, and prospects are
anything but bright, according to re-
ports received here from every direc-
tion, especially in the northeastern por-
ton of the state, where the pests have
just begun to get in telling blows.
Three or four weeks ago the prospect
was for the best cotton crop Mississippi!
had seen in several years. The weather
had been hot and dry during June and
July and weevils did not flourish, but
since the rains came they have come
into their own.
In counties where $4,000 or 10000
bales of cotton used to be raised a half
crop was promised this year, but 1t is
now found that bolls are scarce and that
only a bottom crop will be made. In
one county where $4,000 bales were made
last year the prospect three weeks ago
was for at least 10000 bales. Today 1t
is estimated that if the farmers Of that
county get 5000 bales they may con-
slider themselves very lucky.

.HOKE SMITH WILL HELP
PERFECT INSURANCE BILL
Bill Will Be Pressed to Pas
sage Before Congress
AdjournS
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Yielding to
the opportunities of President Wilson,
senate leaders have determined to press
the soldier and sailor insurance bill
to a speedy passage at this session
of congress. With this end in view a
motion was made this afternoon that
subcommittee consisting of Senators
Hoke Smith, John Sharp Williams and
Reed Smoot be named to consider and
perfect the house measure.
These senators will met Monday morn
ing at IL o'clock. 1t is believed they
will experience small difficulty in
agreeing upon the provisions of the
bill 1t is regarded as certain that
the finance committee will approve the
action of the subcommittee.
II am in hearty accord with the
principles of the insurance BILL" said
Senator Smith after being informed of
his appointment as a member of the
subcommittee. THE compensation al
lowsnce and insurance features of the
measures are well conceived in princi-
pie. and feel confident that the SEN
ate will accept them without material
change"
What about the alleged movement
to defer consideration by the senate of
the bill until the next session of con-
gress?" Senator Smith was asked.
There is nothing about It worth
while" he answered. I'VE are going
TO push the measure through before
adjournment, and l do not believe II pos
sible for the minority of the senate to
obstruct this plan. The senate has been
canvassed and over two-thirds of the
membership favors the bill so we are
going to bring in a cloture rule at the
very beginning of the debate, if neces-
sary to expedite its consideration and
passage"
Passage by the seante. today of the
bond bill coupled with the announced
purpose to expedite consideration of the
insurance bill presages the early ad-
journment OF congress. The house will
pass the urgent deficiency appropria-
ton bill early next week. and by the
time the conferees on the revenue bill
reach an agreement IT is probable the
senate will have passed the insurance
bill and taken up the deficiency APP
propriations. Passage of this measure
by the senate will complete the ad-
ministration program for the first ses-
sion of the war congress, and adjourn
ment probably will occur by the 1st or
10th of October.
