CURRENT COMMENT
See Vermont First.

People will travel many miles TO see
distant sights and be very ignorant re-
garding interesting and remarkable
things near home Business mems asso-
Citations and county farm bureaus have
recently promoted the See Your Own
County" idea. They organize automo.
bile and train trips that tour the near
by country and are surprised by the in.
teresting things they see near home.
People used to 60 thousands Of miles
to see the world but they knew very
little about their own state. They went
no farther out in the surrounding coun
try than the family horse or livery
rig would take them Automobiles have
had some effect to interest peoples in
the surrounding country, but still the
radius of their trips is pretty limited.
While travel is a broadening influence,
people do not have TO take costly trips
to see the world The world is made up
OF human life and its works There are
just as bright people here at home in
Vermont as anywhere. They are doing
just as interesting things. They are
building fine cities, erecting noble insti.
tutions, developing lovely parks, Great
ing artistic dwellings with charming set
tings OF beauty They are displaying
marvellous skill in development OF mod
ern industry.
There is no way in which people can
get so much for their money as to travel
about their home state and see the beau
ty and energy with which it is developing.
No one needs 10 travel until he knows
bis home county thoroughly and appre-
ciates all It is doing A familiarity with
ones surroundings gives new confidence
in the possibilities within reach, and fills
one with enthusiasm and ambition to
push his own neighborhood on to the
highest standards Of achievement. -

HARVEST PROBLEM NEEDS.
Standard Wage at Opening of the Season
and Reduced Rates on Railroads.

| The harvest situation is a long stand
ing problem in a large section Of the
middle West. Thousands of laborers
must be had from territory outside the
grain area every year Many of these
men must come from a considerable dis
lance, and their employment in the
wheat fields is for a comparatively short
| time
| As the harvest season has advanced
this year, employment officials and many
| farmers have become more convinced
than ever that two reforms are neces
sary if the harvest problem is to as.
sumo any less proportions in the future.
There is necessary first of all stand
ard wage. This wage should be deter
mined at the opening of the harvest sea
son each year, as has been the custom
in Kansas during the past two years 1t
must be a little higher than wages for
ordinary work elsewhere, since there is
no inducement to man to work at a
| distant point for a wage that he can Sc.
cure at home
This year the wages for ordinary har.
vest work have ranged from go to 10
cents or more an hour and board, in
some cases with refund of railroad
fare the refund being made mainly at
| the higher wages which were offered aft
| er the season had advanced.
Many of the men who 80 to the har-
vest are more or less unsettled laborers.
| If they come from considerable dis.
lance. they simply have rot the money
to pay their fare, Harvest laborers have
more right to a reduced fare than any
class of tourists or pleasure seekers.
What is needed is third or at least
ia half rate to the fields and return, on
the same basis as other excursion rates
are fixed A rate of one cent mile
would have placed thousands Of men in
the wheat fields when they were wanted
and needed this year
The eleventh.hour grant Of special
trains and credit system of fares by
the United States railroad adminstra
ton has been Of little aid this season.
The great majority Of laborers have had
to pay their fares on the guarantee of a
refund by the farmers. Only reduced
rate will make the harvest situation
next year any less a problem tAan it
has been this year.-Kansas City Times.

Good Roads Movement.

Vermonters generally will be pleased
with the announcement of the state
meeting Of 100 or more representative
citizens Of the state at Montpelier July
10, for the purpose Of organizing a good
roads society for Vermont The timeh.
ness Of this movement eommends it be-
cause desirable road policies cannot be
framed on short notice and the education
Of the public in this subject requires a
much longer period 1t is none too early
to begin.
This gathering will be pretty well in
formed on what not to do by the late
patrol committee and its hastily con,
strueted destructive program. The new
organization should not condemn every
thing, that is without hearing On the
contrary ii should secure complete nfor.
nation regarding present conditions and
methods, conserve what Is good in them
and then suggest practical improve
ments.
This gathering should first of all be
one OF Vermonters entirely free of paid
agents of road construction materials or
other promoters Of private enterprises.
Let 1t be composed and regulated by
Vermonters conscious that they have
met to consider Vermont problem, Yer
mont conditions, Vermont needs and Yer
mont resources for Improvement. They
should also remember that all improve
ments are to be very largely paid for
by Vermont taxpayers and temper their
demands to the ability of these tax
payers to defray expenses. 1t would not
be wise to exclude expert advice from
outside sources but this advice should
be invited, not forced upon the organi-
cation. Furthermore, ii should be ad
vice from practical road engineers or
constructionists and not the paid pro.
moters of cement or road machine cor
porations trying to develop markets for
their goods
If the Montpelier meeting is organ
lied on lines Of this nature it promises
to become the foundation OF real practi-
cal road improvement in Vermont. -
