ment for some kind Of a program that
will restore foreign exchanges to their
normal PARTIES.
In refusing last January to approve
American participation in the confer
ence then proposed, Secretary Glass
insisted it was useless for the Euro
pean powers to rely on further finan-
clal assistance from this country In
stead, and in frank language, he told
these powers their remedy lay in per
suading their people to get back to
work and produce goods; in debating
and in vigorously curtailing all gov
ernment, provincial ana n....lc.,,..
penditures to a basis sustained by
current taxation. On that occasion,
the proposal for conference was made
jointly by leading merchants, manu-
tacturers and bankers in these coun-
tries, and the invitation extended to
the Chamber Of Commerce of the
United States, whiclt, IN .urn, as..-u

France, on the other hand, has been

given signs of accepting the sugges-

IS ascrlbed in official quarters here to
the inclination that still prevails in
many French quarters to wait for the

The Small Town Problem.

| The problems surrounding the some.
what startling financial status of many
| of Vermont's small towns is bringing
out much comment tending to suggest
! remedial measures. Town consolida
ton has been mentioned. Making state
charges of small towns has been sug-
gested. Economy has been talked. But
to this paper none of the suggestions
touch bottom. Consolidation cannot by
any means give equitable division Of
the burden. To make small towns here
and there charges of the state would
give such towns cumbersome govern
ment and add to the states burden.
which burden, in the end, must be borne
by the people generally, but our people
would, under this method, have no spe-
cial pride or interest in their charges;
besides towns so governed would have
no incentive for local effort. Economy
alone cannot give a town that which
it does not possess.
A somewhat careful study of the
problem influences this paper to sug-
gest an entirely different plan as hold
ing a possible solution. Constitutional
changes and other changes which at
first may seem revolutionary would be
necessary, but the time lock is set for
use by the next legislature and some
of the matters involved in the neces-
sary changes for adoption of the plan
should come into being regardless of
this special plan.
The scheme involves larger tax
unit, probably the county, with prop
erty valuation equalization board and
distribution of taxes back over the
unit upon definite basis of needs.
Each town may maintain its territory
unimpaired, under this scheme, NAV
even maintain its town organization,
though that organization in every town
might be abridged in its authority
Centralized authority may be given
as seems wise, with the town officers
acting in an advisory capacity and
with veto powers
Some of the reasons for reaching
this conclusion come from the study
of Orleans county. Newport Figures |
taken before Newport became cityl |
Barton, Troy and Derby contained 81 |
per cent of the taxable property in |
Orleans county, when the study was
made. The other Ia towns, therefore,
contained less than 40 per cent of the
taxable property in Orleans county, but
have IS per cent of the road mileage
of the county. Now then, if like tax
raised throughout the county on prop.
prty valuations equalized by board,
and the money raised for roads ex-
pended on our highways according to
selected road mileage, first; connect

highways, third, would not the whole
scheme be more just, equitable and
satisfactory TO all concerned than the
present plany Connecticut with this
plan should be a central road author.
ity, but the town road men, elected
as they now are, acting as a county
advisory board with a two-thirds vote
required to veto action of the central
lied authority. Would not this plan
find favor with rural towns who find
themselves hopelessly involved. yet
where the town unit is a sacred thing
And would any centralized authority
be justified in doing road work which
could not be shown to representatives
of two-thirds of Che towns of the coun-
ty to be a just and fair thing to dor
School money raised on the same
basis as the road money could be re-
distributed among the towns on the
basis of the number Of schools neces-
sariy maintained with the number of
pupils factor to be considered Let
the towns elect a school representa-
tive, or board, with veto power against
centralized authority.
The centralized authority might
come by way of our present method
of appointing state road commits
sioner, who in turn appoints his coun-
ty supervisor Our commissioner of ed
ucation might be named by the state
board of education as he now is. he in
turn would appoint district superin-
tendents. In both cases, these men
might be given the initiative They
would come TO the towns each year
with budget of expected expenses and
a suggested tax rate for the two items
of roads and schools, which rate is to
to be a uniform county rate. Each town
votes at its March meeting to accept
or reject the rate, and when two.thirds
of the towns refuse the recommends.
tions of the central powers, some meth
cd of a resubmission of the question
should be had, or the rate ia automati
cally established by the towns. A
general town tax for such other minor
expenses as towns have might be left
entirely with each town, such tax TO
be administered by the selectmen.
Following March meeting let the cen
5ral road authority call his councillors,
elected from each town as road com
nissioners. together and 60 over his !

| more carefully made and executed and
the problems of the weaker towns
would be largely solved.
Such plan, imperfect as 1t is and
only briefly outlined. may give rise to
something more tangible along this
line of thought.
Such a plan involves several funda-
mental things which are needed in Ner-
mont. One of the first is greater equal
ization of taxable property values. This
paper ventures the statement that
farms in Orleans county which have
recently sold for "a high as $4,000
are set in the list in some towns as
low as $500; while i'm another town
farm of equal value is set in the list
at $1,000, or higher Such inequalities
ought TO be done away with.
A more centralized authority In
many ways would work TO the advan-
tage Of all concerned. but such authori-
ty cannot be established so long az
each town, and especially the small
town, feels that its sacred right as a
political unit is being lost.
To disturb town lines only means an
Gamer ulHbuEud3te III sunni ihlutF LlUItN
Some town now finding its population
below 500 may in the future find its
population increased to considerable
extent. while other towns now having
population somewhat over the dead
line may lose ground. This paper
sees no equality or final justice in a
revamping of our town lines. The old
New England town is too sacred a
thing in history TO be abolished What
a history many a town now floundering
in debt and decay has had. Must tina
be obliterated? No! The territory and
the people will remain where they are
regardless Of town lines. and their
problem is the same problem regardless
Of town lines, and their problem is the
same when the line is changed so why
not leave the town line, leave the town !
