The Obsolete Nickel.

Among the numerous evils following
in the train of war ia the abolition OF
the old-time trolley fare. A nickel was
formerly the almost universally accepted
standard Not one citizen in million
expected ever to see the time when
car ride would cost more than that. The
tendency, indeed, before the war, was
downward. Cleveland established three
cent fare, on a sliding scale based on
actual cost of service, and succeededpret
ty steadily in holding the fare down to

Strangely enough, District Attorney
Tufts of Massachusetts, goes right on
with his investigation of the terrorist
plot which found expression in con.
certed attempt to blow up houses and
kill occupants in eight cities. Such OBJ
stinacy on the part of the prosecuting
officer is not according to the program Of
the terrorists and must be rather discon-
certing.

With the American winter wheat crop
forecasted as the greatest ever known
and with the spring wheat crop nearly
up to the high record mark of last year,
the food problem in the United States is
likely TO be much easier to solve than it
has been for several years back.

Barre Absolved.

Rutland points to its tax rate of 1920
and as compared to that Of Barre, which
is $40. And Rutland has not commit
ted herself to a petty policy which calls
for the taxation of ladies engagement
rings Montpelier Argus.
The Montpelier contemporary does not
clearly indicate whether ii is hitting
Barre for conducting an anti-matrimo.
NAL agency, or whether its dart is in
tended for its own community. So far
as has come to attention in Barre, there
is no such a policy carried out, the pol
icy of assessing prospective brides for
the sparklers denoting their marriage
engagements. We wish the contempt
rary would be more explicit and inform
the public what municipality turns the
finty heart to the matrimonially in
clined. Barre Times.
We hasten to ahsolve Barre Of such
short sighted policy.-Montpelier Argus,

Railroad Future Of New England.

What Director General Hines said con
corning the future of the New England
railroads the other evening will be warm
~ endorsed by ali who are acquainted
with the situation. New England has
undoubtedly suffered from the lack Of
articulation among the several lines
which serve this portion Of the country.
When the railroads are returned to their
owners some rational plan OF consoli-
dation ought not only TO be permitted
but should be made compulsory as Mr.,
Hines suggests. II is only by such Co
ordination of control that we can ever
have unified and smooth, working
transportation policy.
The national government, during It's
relatively short era of operating expert
ence, has learned one great lesson. 1t
has found out that its old policy of
bounding the roads, forbidding them to
consolidate, and denying them adequate
income was unfortunate both in its con.
eeption and in its consequences If the
recommendations of Director Hines are
followed the government will now com
pei the roads to do exactly what it hailed
them into court for trying to do some
years ago.
And the government is not alone in
