STILL IN VICIOUS CIRCLE.

Director General Hines of the rail
road administration wants the matter
of increasing the wages of railway
employees referred to Congress and the
increase granted together with an in
crease in freight and passenger rates
to provide the revenue to pay the in
creased wages. This is simply recon-
mendation that the vicious circle of
wages and cost of living be continued
The railroad men themselves have de-
clared this will give no relief but the
government still chngs to if.
In addition to mistake in the pre-
scription there is an evasion of duty.
Congress has placed the management
of the railway business in the hands
of the administration and this manage
ment includes the right TO fix the com
pensation of employees; but the head
of the railroad administration refuses
to perform this duty and seeks to
throw it upon Congress- This is the
more serious of the two. because it
throws a purely business proposition
into the pit of politics. Congressman
cannot consider the question from a
purely business standpoint; they must
ever consider the political effect. TIC
deny an increase in pay to such a large
number of voters is political suicide
and few congressman are ready to dc
this.
The New York Times states a sell
evident truth when it says: either,
is not money enough in the world t.
| give all workers all the things they
want to buy, nor will excessive abund
ance of wage allowance procure cor
responding service In the face o
this fact the administration propose
to throw the question back to anothe
political body that is expected to "de
liver just as it did when the iniqui
tious Adamson law was forced in 1916
The wage question is still in the viciou
circle and the circle seems to be get
ting more and more vicious.

Good Outlook for Cattle.

There are bright prospects for in
creased prices for good cattle in the
state of Vermont regardless of con-
ditions outside the state. This will be
the result of the law passed by the
last Legislature regarding the testing
of cattle for tuberculosis. The depart
ment of agriculture makes the condi-
tion of the testing of herd of cattle
that the owner shall make his herd an
accredited herd. - This means that
the owner not only has his cattle test
ed and all diseased animals killed, but
he must keep cattle that have passed
the test from contact with INFESTED
cattle and cannot put animals into his
herd until they have been tested and
found free from tuberculosis.
The law also provides that no COM
pensation shall be paid for creature
out of a herd until the whole herd
has been subjected to the tuberculin
test. Here is the way it works: A,
having herd of twenty cattle, de-
cides to have them tested Suppose
ten of them are condemned, he has lost
half his herd. He wants to keep 20
head and must purchase ten cattle else
where to make up the number. His
neighbor, B, may have some cattle "A
wishes to purchase. He buys them OF
B but cannot take them home until

New Hampshire's Claims.
st. Adams Messenger.l

st. Adams Messengerl
The Brattleboro Reformer calls at
tention to the fact that the state of
New Hampshire is pressing its claim
to the extreme high water mark of the
western bank of the Connecticut river
as its boundary line, which, the con-
temporary says. will mean. if the claim
Is upheld in the courts, that Vermont
will lose ga great amount of valuable
territory and property which will go
to New Hampshire for taxation pur-
noses, depriving Vermont towns, and
the state government, of considerable
revenue. New Hampshire is now levy
ing taxes on this property, and Yer
mont will have to refund thousands
npon thousands of dollars already col
'ected if the Granite state prevails in
It's contention.
1t is the opinion of The Reformer
that the Vermont state government is
altogether too careless in letting the
matter drift 1t says that while New
Hampshire has been working on its
case for years for presentation to the
United States supreme court, Vermont
IS represented in this crucial litiga-
ton by its attorney general who hap
pens at present to be person entirely
destitute of knowledge of this ease. -
and who is so busily engaged in the
routine work of his office that he has
not the time to go into the boundary
dispute as it deserves to be zone into.
The contemporary asks that the state s
best legal talent be put on the job at
once.
Assuming that The Reformer states
the case correctly. and it is reasonable
to suppose that it does. since if is To-
Gated near the heart of the trouble and
its district has personal interest in
the controversy. The Messenger be-
lieves the advice of the contemporary
should be followed Vermont does not
want to lose any of its important in
| dustries to New Hampshire jurisdiction
nor any of its valuable territory. The
| matter is of supreme Importance and
| concern to the commonwealth. 1t will
| be discouraging, when we are trying
| to build up the state. to have subtract
| ed from it industries that have al
ready been built up.
| The Reformer holds that we should
resist the New Hampshire claim as Wig.
orously as did the Green Mountain
| Boys the New Workers at the time OF
| the trouble over the New Hampshire
| grants. Such advice should not be TAX
| en- literally, of course, for it would
be resistance little too vigorous. since
| 1t would mean resort to force. That il
every legal way Vermont should resist
goes without saying. The case should
not be lost by default. The people OF
Vermont expect their officials to attend
to this matter without fail and to Sc,
that New Hampshire does not come in
to any increased advantage through
any delay or negligence on their part

Good Taste.
(Keene Sentinel.l


There is vague feeling in the
velvet hats in August are not in good
taste. But they are Sin style'' and so
people wear them
Many people feel vaguely that it is
not in good taste for young girls to
make up like stage people before the
footlights.
"Good Taste seems an elusive
thing-the pot at the end of the rain
bow-something they are always chas-
ing but which they never really under
stand.
Yet it is simple-good taste requires
only that person be in harmony with
his environment
An authority on esthetics says that

in August because, while black velvet

tates a test and if any of them are
found diseased B can get no compen-
sation unless he has his whole herd
tested. Suppose B has thirty head of
cattle and in the test twenty of them
are found diseased. he has started an
accredited herd with only one-third as
many cattle as he wishes to keep. B
then desires to purchase 20 cattle in
stead of selling and, therefore, he and
A are both looking for cattle to buy
Neither of them can take cattle thai
have not been subjected to the test,
therefore the demand for tested cattle
is largely increased.
OF course the result NAV not be the
same in every case; but it can easily
be seen that the system is likely to in
crease the demand for and diminish
the supply of accredited cattle in the
state. For this reason it will increase
he price of accredited cattle and every
cattle owner is assured of a good mar
ket for all the accredited cattle he
can produce. 1t will be expensive to
both the state and owner but every
accredited herd will be worth enough
more to make it profitable Cattl,
owners in Vermont have the brightest
prospects for profitable cattle raising
they have had in years.
