Auto Number Plates For 1919

The 1919 automobile number plates
will have cream background and royal
blue letters together with the year
numerals on the plate. For the past
two years there have been no year
numerals on the plate and it has been
the cause of some correspondence with
other states not familiar with the an
nual color scheme. The new plates are
expected to arrive almost any day now,
having been ordered some time ago, the
delivery date now being past. Already
applications for the 1919 registration are
arriving.
The new blanks are much simpler
than the old forms which were made in
folio, one sheet containing the instruc-
tons being torn off when it was returned
and before filing.
The new blanks are printed on card
| board of convenient size, which can be
easily filed. The chauffeul's applica-
tion must contain a photograph the
same as last year. These blanks are now
being shipped out by the automobile
department of the secretary of states
office.
With each application for license goes
a copy of traffic regulations and "stop,
look, and listen" railroad crossing warn
ing with the request that this should be
pasted inside the Windshield.
This slip was printed and furnished
by F. W. Lawrence attorney of the Rut-
land railroad, and at his request it is
being enclosed with each application
form mailed.

Vermont's Unfair Town Re-
presentation Plan

1t is unfortunate if Windsor must GO
without a representative during the
forthcoming session of the Vermont
Legislature Barre Times.
While there is sympathy for Windso I
in the loss of its representative elect,
Attorney b. E. Cole. the proba biities
are that the towns interest will be safe
guarded. If Windsor has any special
legislation in which it is interested other
representatives will stand sponsor for it.
Indeed, by reason of death depriving it
OF its representative such is sympathy
hat it would not be strange if any
special legislation desired by the town
would receive unwonted favor.
| The Times comment suggests again
the time-worn question of Vermont's
Anticipated and cumbersome system of
town representation in the lower branch
of the General Assembly. The system is
as ridiculous and unfair as it is ancient.
1t IS absolutely inequitable that acrce,
mere geographical expanse, should de-
termine legislative representation. The
only logical as we'll as fair basis is
population and wealth r at town
with dozen or twenty voters should
have representation at Montpelier equal
to a city OF four thousand voters is prob
ably wrong Yet that is exactly YER
mont's system.
Furthermore, house representatives
OF fihyto hundred members would be
more economical There would be fair
and adequate representation OF all
towns under a plan ofelecting legislstors
by districts inclusive in each case of
number of towns sufficient to make up
the population necessary to a legislative
district Who doubts for instance, that,
the interests of Clarendon would be con-
served if its representative was one of
district composed of itself and the two
and three adjoining towns?
1t may be kicking against the pricks
to thus agitate the change of YER
mont's scheme of representation in the
constitution. The legislature composed
of town representatives may never be
broad-minded enough to submit the
question to the people. That makes no
difference as to the fact in the case. The
misrepresentation plan is cumbersome,
expensive, unfair. There is not the
slightest doubt as to what the people
would do with it if the assembly ever
gave them an opportunity to vote on
an amendment % the constitution chang
ing it to a smaller legislative body
elected by districts on a population
asis.-Rutland News.

Employment for Men Mus
tered Out
barre Timesl

Manufacturers in Vermont, and in
fact, all persons who employ labor and
are DESTROYS of securing labor will be
doing patriotic work as we'll as aiding
themselves if they Immediately commun-
icate their labor needs to the state drec-
tor of the United States public reserve,
Robert W. Simonds, at Montpelier, who,
through his organization, will get into
touch with the authorities whose bust
ness it is to distribute the men in employ
ment as fast as they are mustered out
of the United States service.
This system of placing men in employ
ment as soon as possible after the expra-
ton of their service for the government
has wonderful possibilities toward bring
ing about a prompt readiustment from
wartime conditions to peace conditions,
only it requires the cordial cooperation
OF all those who have to do with employ
ment of labor and especially those who
are in need of labor at the present time
or in the near future. To be sure, a large
number OF the men, as they are mustered
out of service, will return to their former
places OF employment and will slip into
their former positions readily. thus aid
ing in the normal resumption ofindustrv.
On the other hand, there will be thou.
sands, perhaps tens of thousands, who
will find their old places filled or the
business so curtailed that there is no
chance for them; and others will prefer
to start in some new occupation and
are, like the ones just mentioned, some
what at the mercy of conditions.
To aid them is the purpose of the
United States public service reserve,
which is now calling upon the manufac-
turers and other employers of labor to
communicate their wants just as soon as
possible, Let Vermont do its share in
this reconstruction work. We shall need
to be active in this endeavor if we are to
make good the great losses in man-pow-
er which the state has suffered during
the past four and one-half years through
departure of labor for munitions centers
and through enlistments in the various
branches for governmental service. Yer
mont needs labor. Vermonters ought,
therefore, to let State Director, Robert
W. Simonds, know what they need.

MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs VIII
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified in Stimulation
of Pork Production-SeVenf
Increase over Pre-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added iii car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action of stimulation
of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy Of the policy
of stimulated production has built up
in this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply very large part of
the fat deficiency of the world In
beef there must be a shortage in Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filled by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro.
ducers of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the q. S. De-
partment of Agriculture indicate an
Increase in cattle of 10,238,O00 head
and 12,441,0 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January / last.
In this period there was a decrease
in sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
tons are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-.
ports.
Since January l unofficial infOrma-
ton indicates an increase in hogs Of
not less than per cent. and not
more than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request of the U. s.
Food Administration for an increase
in hog production for marketing in the
fall Of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,60O,-
100000 pounds more of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
1917, amounted to 903, 900 pounds,
while for the corresponding months OF
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1877 $4,000, an increase of over 374,-
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter of
dressed beef showed 1,263, 100000
pounds as against 1,454, 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September l, this year.

Sportsmen Save Partridge.

Sportsmen have responded very gener
ally to the appeal of the commissioner as
published in the papers of the states, and
have refrained from shooting the ruffed
grouse or partridge this season. Some
localities report an increase in the number
of birds, but the state at large reports
conditions such as obtain throughout
New England which indicates the extinc
ton of this noble game-bird unless a
widespread effort is made to give this
species added protection. A close season
of at least two years is the prevailing idea,
not only in Vermont, but in Massachusetts,
and New Hampshire particularly. Such
an amendment to our fish and game laws
will be recommended to the coming
session of the General Assembly,

EVERY COMMUNITY
HAS CHANCE TO NAME
TANK OR TRANSPORT

Ten cities and counties in the Eighth
Federal Reserve District may have
United States transports named in
their honor, and the same number of
cities and towns may have Battle
Tanks named for them.
The cities and counties who may
participate in the contest that will &C.
cord them this honor, must first of
all qualify. This qualification is that
if set quota for the sale of Fourth
Liberty Bonds has been established,
that quota must be reached.
These contests have been author
lied by the War Department and the
Emergency Ship-building Corpora
ton, and it is expected that the parts

ties in each State which has raised
their quota in dollars. The county
that after exceeding its quota rolls up
the largest over-subscription will
have the honor of naming one of the
battle tanks. To the county in each
State, after it's money quota has
been subscribed, that has the largest
percentage of subscribers according to
population, may have the honor of
naming one of the transport ships.
To the city in the district, with a

population of $4,000 and over which
has raised its quota, if it has a fixed
amount, that makes the largest per-
centage above its quota, may name one
of the battle tanks. The city, under
the same conditions, that has the larg-
est percentage of it's population as
bond purchasers, will have the honor
of naming one of the transport ships.
Contest No. is open to all cities
having a population of $4,000 and I'M
der $4,000 that has raised it's fixed
quota. The city with the largest per-
tacentage of sales above its money
quota, will be given the privilege of
naming one of the battle tanks, while
the city having the largest proportion
of subscribers according to popula-
ton will have the privilege of nam
ing transport ship.
The final contest is for cities be-
tween 5000 and $4,000 population,
that exceed their fixed money quotas.
The largest percentage of sales above
the quota will give that city the priv
ilege of naming battle tank, while
the city with the largest number of
subscribers, population considered,
will have the privilege of naming the
transport ship.
Neither the ships nor the tanks may
be named after individuals, corpora
tons or organizations. No city or
county may be awarded two of the
prizes.
Illustrated bulletins showing the
progress of the contest will be issued,
much after the plan followed in the
"Over The Top" Contest in the Third
Campaign. The counties that are in
the lead will be praised, and those in
the rear will be roasted, but always
the remarks should be received in
the manner in which they are intended,
as mere pleasantries, and to stimu-
late rivalry between cities and towns.

If THE REPUBLICANS WIN

Suppose the Republicans SHOULD
win in the fall elections, and send
Republican Congress to Washington
to "help" President Wilson. Suppose
the G. o. P. should win the House and
control the Senate, what then?
Remember the Old Guard, crushed
in 1912 because it stood in the way
of progressive and democratic prin-
ciples. In the short six years that
have elapsed, the country has travelled
further in the direction of decent and
scientific political development than it
Travelled in the preceding sixty years.
Bear this progress in mind, do not for
get that it was a democratic admins
tration and a democratic Congress
that made it possible, and then look
ahead to a possible Republican vic
tory this fall.
James R. Mann, of Illinois, minor
ity leader, would be majority leader
or Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives. He voted AGAINST three
revenue bills, the Shipping Board
bill, the Espionage Act, against ia
bling the McLemore resolution. His
attitude toward President Wilson's
foreign policy was criticised even by
Republican newspapers in 1917. Jo-
seph w. Fordney, of Michigan, who
voted against the Shipping Board
bill, against tabling the McLemore
resolution, and against two of the last
three revenue bills, would lead , the
Ways and Means Committee. Freder-
lex H. Gillett, of Massachusetts, would
head the Appropriations Committee
He opposed the Shipping Board and
Food Survey acts, and merely voted
present on the last great revenue bill.
Henry Allen Cooper, of Wisconsin,
who would have headed the Foreign
Affairs Committee, lost in the pri-
maries because he voted against the
war resolution, against tabling the
McLemore resolution. and tried to
nullify the Armed Neutrality Act.
Stephen G. Porter, of Pennsylvania,
now in line for chairman in a Repub-
lican Congress, aided Cooper's fight
on Armed Neutrality. John ]. Esch,
another Wisconsin Republican, voted
with Cooper on the measures named
above. He would become chairman of
the Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committees. Gilbert N. Haugen, of
Iowa, another who voted against the
war resolution, against the Food
Survey and Espionage Acts, and
against tabling the McLemore resolu-
ton, would head the Agriculture
Committee. Philip P. Campbell, of
Kansas, who voted with Cooper
against Armed Neutrality, and
against the Espionage and Food Sur
vey Acts, would head the Rules Com
mittee. Everis A. Hayes, of Califor-
MIA, another anti-war Republican,
