Prohibition in Disguise.
Pennington Banner


Having failed to make Vermont pro
hibition by means of the Perry bill
asst winter certain prohibition advo-
ates are now seeking to accomplish
the same result by indirect means.
Among these indirect schemes are the
Iunt bill, the county option bill, the
Aill to raise the second class license
zee to $4,000 and other drastic bills
rom the dry partisans. Now the facts
n the ease are that Vermont voted
overwhelmingly for local option in
'tead of prohibition after 4 fair trial
If both-because the voters had found
ut that no progress for Temperance
could be made under prohibition. but
hat the temperance cause did advance
I little under local option. In other
words the temperance men of Vermont
Imported local option last March as
'he best available temperance measure.
Temperance men in the state and In the
legislature should beware Of the bills
which appear at Montpelier with much
he same backing that the Perry bill
had two years ago. They are seeking
20 do by indirect, sunderland means
-vhat the state openly and honorably
refused to do.

This is the state OF mind Of Ger

VeTmont's Road Question.

The road question is before the state
legislature at Montpelier as it always
is and there seems some reason to fear
that the legislature is going to prove
too timid in spending money for thi'
important state interest As far as
the signs OF the times are apparent We
believe that they show that the grea'
majority Of the people of Vermont are
ready and willing 20 spend more money
for roads if it can be used intelligently
and without waste.
We are convinced that ii the law
makers will strengthen the state high
way department by the addition OF al
engineer and provide for proper super
vision and an equitable division of the
funds the Legislature can 60 IS far

One feature of the business, however

not trunk lines. 1t would be Il fins

roads are important for our own peopl
and for our own local business and W

The legislature raises the state highwa
