the prohibitive form to the permis-
sive form. In the revision OF the
statutes Mr.. Darling has changed
them back to the prohibitive form.
MI. Titcomb is opposed to this.
The arguments for the permicsive
form are that under them the fisher
man or hunter is told exactly what
he can do and that he cannot do any
thing that is not expressly permitted.
That is the modern form for fish and
game legislation and every state
which has adopted it has not aban-
doned it. The weakness of the pro-
hibitive form is that it allows per-
son to do everything not specifically
prohibited and there is danger OF
omission in making the prohibitions
The permissive form seems the more
comprehensive and easily enforced.
The permissiVe form has been in
force since 1912 and the people are
we'll acquainted with its provisions
They are also observing this law more
carefully than they did the old one
Therefore it seems unwise to change
the law at this time. Both fish an6
game would become extinct in Yer.
mont if they were not protected BY
law, and still the people reluctantly
1o&i INC
them. The fish and game commits
sioner has built up a system Of regu.
lat;on that is endorsed by public senti
ment and it seems unWise to at
tempt to change it. The fish anl
game is entitled to the best protec
ton the law can give it and the pres
emit law is the best, and therefore
should be retained

"Pillagimg the Press. ("

Under the above title Don G.. Seitz
in the North American Review for
February tells in a very plain way
how the newspapers and magazines of
this country have been plundered by
the newspaper manufacturers OF
the $4,000 newspapers and periodicals
published in this country the paper
manufacturers have imposed an in
crease of approximately 5,o0O,0 900 a
year in the cost of paper This in
crease averages $2,o45.46 for each
publication in the country. p
Under the combination of newspa-
per manufacturers paper that had
been costing the publisher s45 ton
was jumped to SIS, then to $50, then
- s100 and in few cases just $40
was demanded and received He shows
that this paper costs just 1924 ton
to manufacture. The International
Paper Company has made a net in
crease of $23 a ton on paper that it
formerly sold delivered for $43 a ton,
rr
In one case at least this means an
increase of s75O,000 a year for news
stock which will more than wipe out
the profits the paper has made. There
are several cases where the increase
will be 100000 a year. In general
the increase, which represents a clea,
gain in profits for the manufacturers
Will wipe out all the profit the news.

Lesson For America.

f%There is big lesson for America in
the experience of the. New England
Westinghouse company which is man
ufaesurfng rifles for the Russian gov
eminent. Over two years ago an or
der was placed here for 100000
rifles and profits of $3.50, 100000 was
at first predicted. AS a matter Of fact
the company at the end of two years
hustling is able to turn out 10000
rifles day and at this rate it will take
over three years to fill the order. The
company thinks now it may make
profit of from three to five million
dollars.
IAN army of $4,000 mechanics had
to be educated to perform the fine and
skilled work required. These of
course had to be paid enormous
wages. It is said Russia will need at
least 100000 rifles by spring but
it is certain they cannot be secured
In the United States because this
country is not in condition to turn out
arms: in such quantities.
The lesson is the impossrbility Of
raising and equipping an army within
a short time. Five years of hustling
is required to turn out 100000 ri
fles and twice that amount of rifles
would be needed in war of any mag
nitude. We comfort ourselves by
thinking we never shall have another
war. of magnitude. But who would
have predicted ten years ago that
Russia would he wanting $4,000, 600
rifles today? This experience should
open the eyes of every American to
the necessity of immediate action. II
universal training ever comes, at leas,
15,000,000 rifles will he needed in this
duced inside of five or ten years. We
= need not only plants large enough te
produce the country's requirements
but the training of American citizens
in efficiency, production and economy
necessary to accomplish great things
The bill introduced empowering ths
state to take advantage of the fedora
good roads act seems bit indefinite
z It gives the state highway commits
sioner authority to- use such money as
is necessary out of the funds under
his control. That means he can use
money raised by the state road tax
automobile fees or the state appropri
alton. Wouldn't it be better to allow
the use of only automobile fees an6

Court Reform in Vermont.

We are told that the fight for court
reform in Vermont will be opened IN
the legislature this week with the In
PRODUCTION of bill containing the
fact it seems to be already underway
with the introduction Monday even
ng by Sent. Villas of bill providing
for continuous sessions Of the county
courts of the state, and a second bill
abolishing the municipal courts of
Essex, Orleans and Addison counties
and in the town of Springfield. When
the bill containing the recommends
tions of the governor appears the
issue between the two systems will be
clearly drawn. -
We favor the plan of Gov. Graham
because it will reduce the number OF
Judges in the employ of the state
We believe that under the present
system the state is paying more men
than are necessary to properly per-
form the work of the courts of the
state. Under tl1e system of one sci
Of judges for the county and the SUI
preme courts tie strongest judges o1
Vermont were eveloped We do mo-
believe it was because there were
more able men then but because theil
duties as trial judges gave them {
| wider and more valuable experience
We are afraid of Sen. Villas bill
because we do not see how the pres
ent number of judges could keel
| courts in IA counties open continu
| ously. Either more judges would b.
created Or else the law could not b.
carried out. We do not. believe Yer
mont Should have more judges Blu
fewer, therefore we hope the legis
lature will stand back of the plan O
Gov. Graham and relieve the state o
some of the Burdens it now bears il
maintaining SO many courts. :;

The New York Sun discussing
President Wilson's last plan for man
aging the world says: "Our own
theory, derived from a conscientious
study Of this speech and the proceed

does not really know himself exactly
where he is coming out. as he drives
one way or another way, lured on
from phrase to phrase by the joy of
begetting words and the Temptations
of what an English newspaper aptly
describes as a pontifcal style'' Can

| of one party cannot vote with an
| other party. Voters signing a petit
ton for a candidate should not he
