Why the Government2

An order urging Congress TO pass the
pending bill TO establish q forest ex-
pertinent station in the White noun
tains, which was introduced this week
in Massachusetts, House of Representa-,
tives, has brought out some interesting
information.
The order sets forth that New Eng
land is dependent upon outside sources
for 20 per cent of its lumber aud 30 per
cent of its pulpwood, involving freight
charges OF over 100000 year, while
not over 30 per cent of its own timber
land is producing what it might and at
least 20 per cent, or over 100000
acres, are waste land, producing moth
ing.
1t is further represented that tho
wood using industries of New England
represent invested capital OF nearly
s3o0000, 900, producing an output worth
S240000,000 a year, and employing oO,-
900 wage -earners; also that New Eng
land should become self supporting in
this respect and that the proposed ex
pertinent station would benefit all New
England.
II the facts are as above stated, why
should forest reproduction be left to the
national government? II New England
has to secure 20 per cent of its lumber
and almost third of its pulp wood
from outside sources and less than a
third Of its timberland is producing TO
capacity. il would seem good private
business to engage in the reproduction
of timber A government forest ex-
pertinent station would be maintained
and operated at the expense of the
whole people II would bear all the
expensiveness Of government work and
impractical experimentation. u would
increase government expenses and re-
quire more government revenue, some
thing that should be avoided.
II there Is S3O0.000.O00 capital invest
ed in wood working plants in New Eng
land IL should undertake 10 secure it,
own supply Of raw material. The item
Of -. 500 600 freight per year j. a small
part Of the expense Of securing outside
lumber aud the wood working indus
tries could swell afford q expead this
sum ger year in reproducing Lumber

HALE RELEASED
ON $4,000 BAIL
Man Charged With Murder
Had Pleaded Not
Guilty
STATE NOT READY
TO TRY THE CASE
1t Was Intimated That
First Degree Verdict
Could Not Be Secured

George o. Hale of Middlesex was
arraigned in Washington county court
about o'clock Thursday. afternoon on
the charge of numbering H. Lester
Morse, to which charge he pleaded not
guilty, and then his counsel moved that
bail be fixed so that the man might be
released until such time as the trial
should take place. Bail was finally
fixed at $4,000, which Carl Dudley fur
nished, and Hale went to his home to
join his wife, who is in poor health.
1t is the first time in long time,
some say since the case of State VS..
Noakes was under consideration. that
a man charged with murder has been
released in Washington county court
on bail The defense stated to the
court the conditions surrounding the
affair and the state did not oppose the
granting Of bail The states attorney
and attorney general had reviewed the
evidence that was placed before the
grand jury and the state did not feel
that it would be able to establish first
degree murder on trial
The court occupied quite little time
in study of the constitution Of Yer
mont, after which il called attention to
the counsel on each side relative tn the
holdings that have been made and he
asked W A. Lord one of Mr. Hale's
counsel, if had any precedents bearing
on the matter Thercupop Mr.. Lord
referred TO the Noakes case, in which
the respondent was found guilty, the
case went to supreme court and the
Judgment was reversed, bringing the
case back to county court, SO that the
man was then on the original indict
ment of murder and Judge Rowell re-
leased him on bail Judge Butler then
decided to release the man on $4,000
bail Mr. Dudley was telephone and
came TO the court room, providing bail
for Mr., Hale's appearance when needed
in court.
Judge Butler caught the evening
train to Burlington and will return to
Montpelier the middle of next week.
