A Significant Relation.
(Rutland Herald.)

The Herald has seen no better state
ment of the real purpose of S. ~ and
S. 10, which deal with street railways,
than the following from the Benning-
ton Banner:
In case these bills become laws
street railway corporation would be in
a position to take the following course:
First, secure a permit from the Public
Service Commission to suspend bust
ness. Second, inform any community
vitality interested that unless it "came
across with financial assistance there
would be no further service.
The proponents of these bills very
shrewdly undertook to have them con-
sidered separately, picking the meas
ure permitting municipality to
vote help to a street railway as the
most appealing, and it was not until
some far-seeing members like Repre-
sentative Frank NJ Wilson of Rutland
and Representative "Bill'' Tracy of
johnson had dragged the companion
bill, permitting the traction COM
panies to tear up their tracks under GER
tain conditions, into the light, that the
true connection between these two Sin
noeent' bills became evident.
Rutland can settle its problems with
the Rutland Railway, Light and Power
company without going to the Legisla-
ture for help, and, as the Herald un-
derstands it., the officials and counsel
of the local concern are not asking for
this legislation, It comes originally
from Montpelier, Barre, and Brattlebo-
70, and the other municipalities con
eprnpd are inst as oamDetent IN settle
any differences that exist as Rutland is.
There is plenty of law on the stat
utes now to handle the problems of
urban and interuban transportation,
! and the Legislature, we believe, will go
slow in putting more legislation on the
books in that direction.

Prince Charles Max Liehnowsky, who
is mentioned as the probable German
ambassador to the United States after
peace has been concluded, held SINH
lar post in London before the war He
comes of very old and illustrious Pol
ish family, with estates divided be.
tween Austrian and Prussian Silesia.
He was born in 1860 and is thus in
his fiftg-ninth year Previous to his
appointment as German ambassador at
the Court of st. James he had never
held any high post in the diplomatic
service. At that time he was credited
with a special interest in the. problem
of how TO improve Anglo German rela.
tions. A year ago he created a sensa.
tion when in a long article he blamed
Germany for having started the world
war and declared Great Britain did ev.
erything possible to avert hostilities
In appearance Prince Liehnowsky is a
thorough Pole, dark, naughty, and g
little mysterious.

MUNICIPAL FACTORIES.

Lack of suitable floor space for man
ufacturers who are DESTROYS of locating
in Brattleboro makes pertinent at this
time consideration of the plan of pro-
noting prosperity through the medium /
of municipality owned factories. 1t is
not necessary to travel far to find a |
good example of this somewhat novel |
kind of industrial effort. The town of |
Littleton, n. H., with a population in
1910 of 1869, has unique chapter in
its story of town betterment. In spite
of New Hampshire law forbidding
towns to engage in manufacturing or
other strictly commercial enterprise
not connected with municipal activities
Littleton today owns several factories,
and some valuable tracts of land which
later viii be devoted to profitable mu-
nicipal use
A leading citizen conceived the idea
that there is no power that can prevent
a group Of men from entering into any
business activity which does not iniure
or contravene the wishes of anyone di-
rectly concerned, or does not infringe
upon the rights defined by state or ma
tional laws. With these limitations it
was believed that what the voters would
agree to the town could do. AS pointed
out by Prof. K. r. 3. Flint of Norwich
university in his pamphlet on Town
/ Planning, this rather novel principle
stitutional DIRECTORS in town. With
this fact established, however, the re-
striction imposed by state laws as to
the uses to which taxpayers money
shall be put are largely removed. The
theory is that if every taxpayer agrees
to a specified use of the money raised
no one can object.
In Littleton the voters consent to
purchasing or erecting industrial plants
is assumed negatively. If, 90 days aft
err notice of intent, no voter takes legal
steps to Illustrate the intention ex-
pressed by the majority of voters at a
legal town meeting the project is car
ried into effect. Objection from one
voter, however, expressed in the form of
an injunction would deal a death blow
to the whole scheme.
Littleton has bought or erected three
factories which have been leased to
large, responsible firms and have proved
to be successful investments in bring
ing several hundred workers into town
as residents, property owners and tax
payers, Not the least value of the
Littleton illustration, however, lies II
its example of what unity of spirit car
accomplish, for, as has been said be
fore, one disgruntled voter could have
: nullifed the whole scheme.

The Brattlehoro Reformer says; "The
development of the sheep industry in
Vermont is not seriously eurtailed by
the dog. 1t is clear that the editor
never kept sheep-Rutland Herald.
The Reformer does not claim that
dogs do not do damage to sheep, but
it does maintain that the reason why
more sheep are not kept is not because
of the damage dogs do but because in
nine eases out of ten cattle are more
profitable.

If she weren t invited she d surely stay.
If she were thirsty she wouldn I drink.
If she has any brains she doesn't think.
