AMENDMENT
IS ENDORSED
Frankfort State journal Prints Strong
Editorial ,FavorIng Adoption OF
Constitutional Amendment And
Pointing Out Its Advantages

The strong resolutions adopted by
the Frankfort Chamber of Commerce
fayoring the Constitutional Amend.
ment relating to the purchase Of tele-
phone lines are meeting with favor
throughout the state. Among other
papers which have endorsed this ac-
ton editorially Is the Frankfort State
Journal, which recently published the
following editorial:<
Amend The Constitution
THE action of the Chamber Of Com.
merce, in pledging It's efforts to the
adoption Of the Constitutional Amend
ment relating to the purchase Of tele-
phone lines, and in calling upon other
commercial bodies toNsupport IT, Is
both wise and timely.
Two telephone lines in the same
community, each contending for sub.
scrbers, is q nuisance--an expensive
nuirancc--to the public, asd has been
too long tolerated When the busy
merchant, farmer or professional man
takes up his telephone. be wants to
E t0lk and talk quickly; and 10 De told
/ that tbo party sought has the other
line naturally st.rs his resentment.
i Two exchanges in the same town
mean that the business and profes.
sional man must maintain both. and
I this he ahould not be required 10 do.
Telephone service should be uniyer-
sal among telephone users; every tel
cphone user should be able to reach
every other Telephone user, over his
own phone.
Tht present Constitution OF Ken.
lucky was written when the telephone
business was in it's early infancy. and
In II was written that one telephone
company could not acquire by lease
or purchase, the lines a compel
ing company. with the result that in
every municipality where there have
existed two telephone systems. how
soeyer much a Chamber OF Com
merce or City Council wished IA
have only one, they could get rid Of
neither without wrecking one. Both
lines were doomed 10 continuous exist
ence, In spite of the fact that gener
ally neither was prosperous, or giving
TO the public satisfactory service
= state authorities and local council:
have complete power Of regulation o.
telephone companies.
THE General Assembly adopted III,
pending amendment TO the Consttu
ton, permitting one telephone com
pany TO purchase the lines OF anoth
er. provided the City Council and th'
State authorities should approve th'
purchase; without that approval NJ
purchase can be made. This amend
ment was passed by the House Of Req
resentatives without a dissenting vote
and by the Senate with only one mega
tive vote. Such vote IL an indication
OF the widespread interest in III
amendment and the demand for tn
relief II will bring The public intei
est is fully protected.
We cannot too highly commend III

TO secure the adoption OF this ament

Road Commissioner Rodman

cedure for levy of road tax with
out bond issues or other obliga.

In many counties The people

ed at the special session of 1917

pairing old ones. Already sever
al counties have voted this tax
ard will collect it this year.
TIE tax can be voted at either
a special election or the regular
November election. Counties
that want this tax can vote it by
a majority vote at the next Nov
ember election and have the
benefit of it on the roads next
year, as the Fiscal Court can
borrow next spring 80 per cent
OF the amount the tax will raise
and begin work on the roads
early in the year, paying the
borrowed money out of the tax
collected in that year when COL
lected, and under this act no
dibt can be created in any year
that can not be paid out of the
tax collected in that year. The
books must be balanced at tine
end of each year and there is no
, debt 70 be carried over. The

BUY COAL NEXT 80 DAYS.
Advice Given Consumers by New Eng.
land Committee.

I'VE think the only safe course for New
England consumers to pursue is to pur-
chase coal on a considerable scale dur
ing the next ninety days, so that before
the end Of October they may be sure to
have on hand liberia! supply" is the adj
vice given by the New England Coal COM
mittee, according to a pamphlet issued by
the chairman, James J. Storrow of Bos-
ton. "In no other way" 1t continues can
we be sure to keep warm and to keep our
industries going next winter.
New England has never been able to
bring in coal during the winter months as
fast as 1t must be burned. Our rail and
water facilities have been provided on the
theory that they would be kept busy all
the year round, and that consumers would
take care Of the heavy drain on their coal
piles in winter by accommodating coal in
summer. New England cannot possibly
make up next winter any slackening in
the movement of coal during the next
ninety days of favorable weather.
1--WE are repeatedly asked. If the con-
sumner, by waiting. will be able to get his
coal at lower price, We cannot answer
ment seems to be contemplating the regu-
lation of coal prices, on the other hand,
the government itself has felt obliged to
take such contrary steps as the sudden
seizure of New England's coal for naval
purposes. fixed government price at
which needed coal cannot be secured will
not run a factory or keep q house warm
next winter"

NO MORE FIRST VERMONT
National Guardsmen Became U.
s. Regulars Sunday.
no Ceremony Connected with the Mo-
mentous Event which Makes More
Than $500 Men Subject to
Uncle Sam.

Contrary to expectations, no ceremony
was connected with the drafting Of the
First Vermont Infantry into the national
army, which occurred Sunday. They
will ultimately be assigned as infantry In
the regular army with different num-
ber 1t has been rumored that the new
designation will be the 95th regiment of
infantry, but no definite information has
been received along these lines. The
guard will for the present go under the
old name Of the First Vermont. In spite
Of the drafting of the National Guard
throughout the country into the federal
service 1t is understood that the govern
enent aims to retain the identity Of the
euard as a separate institution from the
regulars.
Several hundred people gathered at the
State reservation Sunday afternoon and
heard the concert rendered by the First
Vermont band. Following the concert
there was guard mount and battalion
parade. The guard is fast rounding into
shape through the intensive training that
thu men are now putting in every day.
They now are using the new rifles, which
recently arrived.
A telegram was received from Washing
ton Saturday afternoon at the National
Guard headquarters instructing the re-
cruiting officer to discontinue all recruit
ing. The regiment is now over war
strength, with the reservsts, but no in
structions have been received as yet as
to their disposition, and doubtless many
will be disqualified because of physical
disability.
Several hundred people made use of
the hostess tent at the Post Sunday.
It affords comfortable resting and meet
ing place for the relatives and friends Of
The soldiers. and will doubtless be well
patronized from now on.

Miss Bertha NJ. Terrill, professor of home
economics at the University of Vermont.
has received through Herbert c. Hoover.
! the man most prominently mentioned as
the country's probable food administrator,
an urgent request to aid in national cam
paign, which will be undertaken by the
food conservation department Professor
Terrill has presented the request to Presi-
dent Benton and Dean j. l.. Hills of the
State college of agriculture and they have
notified her that they will request the uni
verify board Of trustees to care for her
work. so that she may be free to under
take this larger patriotic service. 1t is
probable, however. that Miss Terrill will
remain at the university for at least the
first semester.
A portion of Mr.. Hoover's letter to Miss
Terrill follows: your name is recorded
in our files as that of one of the country's
ablest speakers. The food conservation
department is obliged to embark upon a
campaign in which one of the chief factors
is that Of the spoken word Calls are COM
