to be ready to accept reelection Lo-
cal pride seeks to keep the old order
of things; but can any good reason
be given for not allowing the plan
laid down in the message Of the gov
crnor to reduce the number OF pro-
bate districts? Surely if the great
county of New York and Cook county
Illinois can do all the probate work
in q single court this state has no
need of twenty courts to settle the few
estates which must pass through
them. Not more than seven persona
in one hundred die leaving an yes
tate to settle anywhere on this earth.
."All county clerks and sheriffs are
now paid salary. No fair-minded
man would hamper the work of our
courts, SO that justice should move
slowly, or the work to be done by in
competent hands.
IF any man in the state knows
about our courts it is the present gov
ernor. The public has the right to
ask why causes are held up in court
for months. If the governor is right
stand by him, in his efforts to reduce
the heavy expenses of this state.'

A PcrniciOuS Bill

II we. read section. three of. House
bill No % Alright it authorizes or
ganized labor to stop work at any
time in a body to. picket any plant
it wishes for the purpose Of dissuad-
ing others from working and to boy
colt any party it wishes. Section
four declares that the right to labor
or contract labor is not a property
right, but a personal right, whatever
that may be. The purpose of the
whole bill seems to be to prevent any
court from issuing an injunction
against any body of organized labor
for any purpose whatever.
We doubt if such a bill can be
forced through the Vermont Legisla-
tdre. The weak point Of organized
labor today is it's lack of responsible
ty It terminates at will its contracts,
it fails to restrain the mob and more
radical members of it's organization
from destructive methods against the
property OF Its employer and 1t in
tinidates the man who is willing and
anxious to work as an individual rath-
er than as q member of an organi-
cation In word it does not hold
itself responsible for the orderly and
legal conduct of it's members in times
of industrial dispute. This bill, il
passed, would prevent the issuance Oh
an injunction against them to prevent
the commission of illegal acts. The
state should not do it. Organized la.

Vail Agricultural School.

The Randolph Herald and News, as
fighting with all it's strength for the
preservation of the state agricultural
school at Randolph Center. But it
has confined itself largely to trying to
dscredit the Vail Agricultural school
rather than stating the advantages of
the Randolph institution, and in it's
the Vail school that are not correct.
We shall attempt to correct few of
them.
1t states that the Lyndon property
is not productive, much of the soil
being very light and sandy. This is
not correct, the Vail property is good,
strong upland soil that lies so it is
easily cultivated and produces good
crops. An inspection of the property
when the snow is off the ground Will
convince any one of this.
1t states that small proportion of
used for agricultural purposes and
that the unused portion is not an as
set in any proper sense. Wrong
| again. The 400 acres presented to
| the state is all land that was owned by
! practical farmers when purchased by
! Mr.. Vail. There are now seven dis
! tinct farms outside of the main Speed
well Farm. These farms have an
/ acreage Of about 1000 acres and they
! if the state desires land the proceeds
thereof shall be set aside as a fund,
| the principal and interest OF which
! shall be used for additions to or the
extension and Improvement of the
! property" We should say that seven
farms containing 1000 acres of good
/ farming land, equipped with first class
modern buildings that can be sold and
! the money used for the school itself
| are something of an asset
| We should expect the state viii as
soon as possible sell these farms rath-
er than try to operate the estate as a
whole. The proceeds from these sales
can be held and used to remodel the
mansion into dormitories for the stu
dents when that comes into the pos
session Of the state. There is much
more to be said on this agricultural
school question but We shall reserve
| it for another issue.

biles produced q fund of from $780,
600 to 100000 for the year 1916 and
this was divided between the towns
Of the state for the maintenance OF
improved state highways. The state
mas the opportunity of getting about
half million dollars efrom the ma
tional government for highway con-
struction if it will eXpend an equal
sum and pledge itself to properly
maintain the highways constructed by
this fund. Why not appropriate
enough of this maintenance fund Sc
cured from automobile fees to match
the federal appropriation and have it
expended on continuous stretches of
central highways under state author
ity? That would insure the state Of
it's share of the federal money and of
real trunk lines.
This money is not contributed pro-
portionately by the towns and they
are not really entitled to a proportion
ate share Of it. 1t is contributed to
the state by the automobiles and
should be expended where it will
benefit the greatest proportion of
automobiles rather than towns. We
offer this suggestion as a solution of
