emulation that has been going on In

who have more definite and intimate

GOSSIP. OF WALL STREET.
DESIGNATING Peace.

A canvass of most OF the commission
houses yesterday revealed the opinion
that Wall Street has pretty generally
discounted peace. that is to say so far
as the general market Is concerned. 1t
Is anticipated that there may be a fur
Their bulge as whole when the official
document is signed and announced, but
most Of the large interests expect that
from now on there will be even more dis
elimination In the buying than has been
experienced to date. That is, whatever
buying there is to be In the immediate
future Is expected to centre in the stocks
In which there are real prospects of re-
vival Of business activity on large scale.
Meanwhile, the standard stocks are ex-
pected to be neglected. In case of steel
there are as yet no indications OF an
active resumption of buying, and in ad-
dition to this reason for the failure OF
the stock to respond to the buying in
the rest of the list commission houses
are pointing to the uncertainty of the
steel dividend as further reason for
conservation in these particular issues.

Tho Motor Industry.

The industry. aside from the foodstuff
industry, which 10 expected to feel the
revival of general business first Is the
motor industry. II has suffered from
the restrictions Of the war perhaps moro
than any other line Of business, and the
strength Of the motor shares in the mar
ket recently has reflected the belief that
n resumption OF buying on a large scale
Is under way. But until the last few
days no real evidence OF how far this
buying has gone has been obtainable.
The first evidence of this came
to the knowledge OF the financial COM
munity when the General Motors Com
pany published its annual report on
Monday showing earnings for the frst
quarter of the year Of approximately
$40 10000 This Is at the rate of $780,
100000 a year before taxes. While this
Is the only report that has been pub
lished thus far It is understood that sew
eral others, to be published soon, will
tell practically the same story.

Vermont can pay for her share in
the war-which by the way, is con-
templated ty this state on a scale
more generous in proportion than that
of any other state in the union-by a
30-cent tax, to be raised within the
next two years, or she can extend the
means of bond issue, thus trans
ferring a portion, at least, of the bur
den to the future.
Judging from the temper of the
legislature, the direct and immediate
method of settling by the levy of a
state tax would seem to be more ap-
pealing, and, despite the heavily in
creased burden of federal taxation and
the augmented cost of all necessities,
can probably be met without serious
hardship. yet the situation does not
tend toward legislative generosity,
neither are the people S representatives
justified in adding TO the biennial bud

necessary to the efficient administration
of government.
If the statement of the committee
means anything, it means economy. and
The Herald believes it will demand
economy. So far, the attitude of the
general assembly in that direction has
been admirable. There is a natural in
crease in the expense of doing all kinds
of business, hut certainly the legisla.

to embark on rash schemes of expan-
sion.

State Finances.
(Rutland Herald.)

The plain, businesslike statement OF
the house committee on appropriations
isesomething that should give any Yer
monter serious pause as he contem-
plates the problem of state finances for
the next two years.
1t is, in the first place, a timely re-
minder of the situation indicated and
set forth in the governor S message,
showing a total of considerably over
S., 100000 to be taken care of by taxa
tioD, direct aud Indirect. With the
total expectation Of revenue from in
direct taxation we'll under $4,000, 900,
1T is clear that the deficit of over ST..
100000 must be met by direct tax.
The state grand list is $2,5Sl,o00, so
a so cent state tax, each year, is what
the people of Vermont must raise IT
the expenses of government and the OBJ
legations arising out of state pay for
soldiers and sailors are to be met.
The situation, although serious, is not
alarming, because, while the outstand-
ing notes for military expenses amount
ing to S50S, 900, must be met, the state
can extend the further burden of pay
ing for the war over a longer period
! This, in fact, is what is contemplated

DISTRICT HEALTH OFFICERS.

House Bill No. 260, authorizing the
state board of health to appoint dis
trict health officers in place of town
health officers and specifying their
duties has passed the house but will be
opposed in the senate. Local petitions
have been circulated asking opposition
to the provision of the bill that the dis
trict health officer shall Serve as
health supervisor of all public. private
and parochial schools within his dis
trict, under the regulations of the state
board of health
The opposition is said TO come from
members of a certain sect who claim
that the establishment of a health SUI
pervisor is an undemocratic move and
an interference with personal liberty.
1t is of piece with the objection that
has been raised to the idea of medical
| inspection in the schools and should
not be allowed to initiate against this
measure, which really gives district
health officers no greater powers than
local health officers formerly had.
There are other features of the bill
however, that may be questioned. For
instance, it places the compensation of
these district health officers entire
! ly in the hands of the board OF
health and takes from the people
all power to regulate the expense
of their health department It
also transfers the expense of health
officers from the towns to the state
thus increasing the expenses of the
state government and the amount of q
direct state tax. For the next biennial
term it calls for an appropriation OF
$4,000 annually, but there is no assur
ance the expenses will be kept within
those figures or that they will not ash

unlimited extent to the state board O
