Windham County's New Organization,

Windham County's New Organization.
bennington Banner.
Accomplishments of the recently or
gained Windham County Cooperative
Milk Producers, Inc, will be watched
with interest. The authorized capital has
been fixed at $4,000 and membership in
the corporation is limited to persons own
ing or operating farms or engaged in some
form of agriculture enterprise. While no
statement to that effect appears in the
newspaper announcements OF the organi-
cation, it is presumed that the purpose
of the Windham county farmers who are
associating themselves as members is to
eliminate some of the costs that attach
the long and often times circutous route
between the producer and the consumer
Similar efforts have been attempted from
time to time in all sections of the United
States and i'll some instances have been
attended with more or less success largely
depending upon the personality of the
men at the head of the organizations and
circumstances. The agrieulturist has per-
sistently blamed the middleman for the
failure of the producer to receive what
he believed to be a rightful share Of the
amount paid by the consumer and in many
instances the blame has been rightly
placed. There is no denying that the
costs of transportation and of marketing
; of farm products has always been too
high. The agriculturists have striven for
a less expensive route between the man
J who raises and the man who eats and
have accomplished some results, most oil
them of an indirect nature. To bring
about the end at which the men on the
land are aiming would eventually result
in Capitalization, a condition to which
agriculture has been opposed and which
if attained, might result in even greater
handcaps than those under which the
farmers believe they are now laboring

The Rutland Herald, undoubtedly |
expressing the views of Governor Glenn
ent, "views with alarm the recent de-
cision of the supreme court that amend
ments to the federal constitution are
to be ratified by state legislatures and
not by state referendums. 1t says in
part:
The decision of the supreme court
of the United States in the Ohio case
is another ominous step in the process
of fedcralzing state governments and
centralizing the power of government
in Washington.
Such a position is of tremendous and
far reaching effect. It's immediate re-
lation to the question of suffrage is I'M
important in comparison. If organized
minorities can secure such changes in
organic laws, which directly affect state
constitutions, without any popular vote
or any direct mandate from the people,
we in Vermont, for instance, may
awaken some morning and find that
our constitution and our state govern
ment have been voted away by legis-
elsewhere, and that we have no redress
except by the slow and difficult process
of repeal and re submission.
! This is a situation which must give
serious Pause to those who retain their
belief in popular government. 1t must
be viewed with alarm, no matter in
what particular causes it has been in
vokcd. 1t is the sort of thing that
spells revolution if carried to its log
zeal conclusion.
The Herald seems unduly alarmed
The decision of the supreme court is
no extension of the liberalization OF
the government. 1t is simply declar
alton that the fundamental law, the
basis of our federal government, is
still in force. The process of amend
ment is no different than it has beer

Mrs. Lillian Olzendam called upon
Governor Clement yesterday and de-
livered to him in person about one hun
dred letters from people in various states,
many of the letters being from Nebraska
and other western states, received from
city and state officials, as well as from
prominent men and women in professions
and responsible positions. These letters
are sent to the governor in order to urge
upon him the immediate necessity of call
ing a special session of the legislature to
act upon the federal suffrage amendment.
That the issue q woman suffrage is not
now state but a national matter. is
pressed home to the governor in these
letters, and in view of the recent favor
able decision Of the United States supreme
court for the suffrage ratification with
out referenda, it is hard for the men and
women who are writing to Governor Glenn

people of Vermont, to see just how thC
governor arrives at his point of still re
| fusing to call the legislature together.

Was Borrowed MiddIinn

Gen. Robert E. Lee was a frugal
man. His ordinary dinner consisted
Of a head of cabbage boiled in salt
water and pone of corn bread. 1t
is told that on one occasion number
OF gentlemen had an appointment to
dine with the Confederate warrior.
General Lee had ordered his servant
TO provide a repast of cabbage and
middlings. A very small bit of mid
ding garnished the dish when it was
brought in; so small was it, in fact,
that the guests were stricken with un-
due politeness and each in turn de-
clined it. and the middling remained
on the dish when the dinner came to
an end and the guests arose to go.
Next day the general, remembering the
untouched middling, ordered his negro
servant to serve it up for dinner. The
negro hesitated, scratched his head
and at length said: ''You see, Marse
Robert, de fac am this: that theah
middlin' was borrowed middlin'. and
rs done give it back to the man wheah
