It is announced that Arthur L. Wis

Gross, manufacturers of piano actions
are visiting Montpelier with the view
of establishing large plant in Yer
mont. They ask for location where
they can be assured of 5000 feet Of
rock maple yearly and state that I'M
der normal conditions the company will
employe $50 people making piano ac-
tions and piano hammers, wood work
ing propositions, although they also
manufacture the hardware, brass and
steel used in their products.
This sounds like a desirable indus
try for Vermont. Evidently the plan is
first to investigate conditions at Mont
pelier, where the secretary of the board
of trade has given assurance that there
is 300 million feet of hardwood within
ten miles of the city and supply Of a
million feet a year can be figured on.
Those are rather rosy figures, possibly
true
Any good railroad center in Vermont
could assure the company of 100000
feet of rock maple yearly, many Of
them in a radius Of less than ten miles
That amount Of ripe maple trees could
be cut in many sections yearly with
out Gripping the production Of maple
sugar, because the removal Of the old
trees would give the young and
thriftier trees opportunity to deyel-
op. Trade organizations in other sec
tions of the state should not let Mont.
pelier monopolize the opportunity.

Everybody Aboard for South London
derry.

With population of only 962 in the
whole town of Londonderry, it would
seem there might be room for some of
us in the delightful spot where fresh
meat is selling for Is cents a pound,
milk is only nine cents a quart and
other pleasures of life may be had
almost for. the asking. But let the cor
respondent from that place tell Of its
good qualities in his own words:
An unusual number of strangers are
finding their way to South Londonderry
these days and are leaving their money
here, apparently glad to do so. One
merchant reports sales amounting to
more than 5000 in little more than
an hour one day this week, all the
goods being sold to people from out of
town, who carried away wool suits at
prices from $40 to $50. Fresh meat can
be bought as cheap as Is cents a pound
for certain cuts. Nearly all have cleo
trio lights in their houses, and there
isn't a meter in town. Lights burns
brightly throughout most OF the houses
in town, without regard to kilowatt
hours This service costs the average
householder from IS to $40 a year.
Milk is only nine cents quart. Up.

The New York concern which wishes
to be near the maple forests in order
to get raw material for its products
could not pick better place than Yer
mont as far as the proximity Of the
raw supply is concerned. Vermont is
a state Of maple trees -some Of the
finest naples growing land it lcould
sacrifice enough Of the trees to give
plenty of material to the concern. No
doubt, too, any one of the sizeable
towns or the cities Of the state could
furnish enough male labor to operate
the proposed plant for the more deli
cate parts of pianos. Shipping oppor-
tunities are reasonably good. These
three conditions seem to make it a
good business move to select Vermont
as a manufacturing point. If the con
Germ means business, nearly any Of the
larger towns would be glad to enter
into negotiations.

stamps, the savings division Of the
treasury department has made avail
able for purchase United States treas
ury savings certificates in 800 and
81 900 denominations maturity val

been embodied, we believe, all OF the de
sirable features of the highest grade
investment, and there are many lines
of appeal The security is the same as
the United States government bonds,
being based ON the entire faith and
credit of the United States of Arn4r
lea. Purchased during the current
month at $S4, or in December Of this
year at SS4.60, the treasury certificates
will be worth 800 on Jan. /, 1924, and
the 81 900 certificate of the same pro-
portion. Prior TO maturity and after
the second month subsequent TO the
date of issue, the owner may demand
payment at a fixed redeemable value
which is always in. excess OF the
amount paid.

the normal federal income tax and all

CURRENT COMMENT
Special Session.

"The request Of John Spargo to Gov,
Clement, asking that he call special
session of the legislature to dispose Of
the federal amendment concerning suf
frage for women is interesting, but it
probably will not change the attitude
which the governor has taken on this
matter Montpelier Argus.
Mr.. Spargo has perfect right to his
opinion and the expression of it. He is
only one man, however. We doubt if
one person out OF ten in the state Of

gency requiring a SPECIAL session Of the

coMpRoMIsE IS THE DEMAND.


In the interim to the time of the
opening of the regular session of Con-
gress on Dec, ! there should be energet
c and persistent efforts on the part of
all elements in the Senate to get to-
gether on compromise ratification
resolution which will be sure of being
passed by the Senate. The advocates
of straight ratification without reser-
vations and the supporters Of the Lodge
stand in the recent debate should each
concede something and go into coalition
with the mild reservationists, The
people of the United States are de-
manding that formal step involving
the various features of the treaty stip-
ulations with Germany should be tax
en-, and taken without further delay.
Various reasons no doubt enter into
the force which has made the delay
thus far and it is time that some of
those reasons be eliminated entirely
and the others modified so radically
that definite action can be made pos
sibe.
After maintaining high and al
truistic stand throughout the war and
after being actuated by unselfsh mo-
tives, the United States is falling into
a low position because of the pickering
over the treaty, the document which
was drawn up and agreed to by the
representatives of practically all the
allies--China exceptedand with the
representatives of the United States
taking a prominent place in presenta-
ton of ideas and in pressing those ideas
to acceptance. To prove to the world
that the United States is really ma
tion of lofty ideals and reasonable
broad mindedness, we must forthwith
stop the pickering and get down to
ratification.

MICHIGAN once HAD SLAVES
Only In 1885 Did Human chatteIs Be-

Few Detroiters Of the present gen
Grafton know that Michigan was once
a slave territory. or tina, the city OF
Detroit, for a period of nearly one
hundred years. included a considerable
number OF slaves in its population. OBJ
serves the Detroit News. The early
French settlers lived largely by trad

bought furs only, but each spring the
Indians OF Michigan would make war
raids into territory south and west,
and they would bring back captives
whom they sometimes killed by tor
ture, hut later they found 1t more prof
liable TO sell them 10 the white settlers
as slaves. Most OF these Indian slaves
were from the Pawnee tribe.
Later negro slaves were bought In
the East, principally In the state Of
New York. When the British took pos
session In 1760 they found quite a
number Of slaves. Indians and negro.
and they continued the practice. The
census Of the district In 1773 showed
40 men and 80 women slaves In q com
munity that numbered less that 800
adult white men. In 1872 there were
Ito slaves In Detroit. The ordinance
Of 1857 forbade slavery IN the North

attention to this Constitutional act.

In 1913 the assessor for Wayne coun-

this proved a encouragement to slave
holding. BY 1892 there were only 81
slaves left In Michigan territory. and
