that the trend OF buying is rapidly
going toward four-plow tractors as
outfits OF this size enable the farmer
to do his work more quickly and
more cheapls than with smaller

THE VERMONT PRIMARY--WRITE
IN HOOyER'S NAME.

There will be held in Vermont on
Tuesday, May Is, presidential pri-
mary in which the voters of the state
will be expected to express their pref
erence for candidates for the presiden-
tial nomination. Unless all signs fail,
it is not going to be a largely -attended
primary, for there has been little po-
litical excitement about the state. The
voters may have been thinking of what
they will do in the primary but they
have been saying little. 1t is to be
hoped that they will go to the polls in
enough numbers to prevent the pri-
mary from becoming a farce
On arriving at the polling places they
will find series of blank spaces under
the column headed Democratic, mas
much as no candidate Of that party
cared enough about Vermont's prefer
ence in the matter to have his name
filed in the prescribed way. On the
other hand, there will be only two
names under the Republican classif'
cation, Major. General Leonard !. Wood
and William Grant Webster. The lat.
ter is unknown. The former is in com
mand of one department of the United
States army and has been seeking the
nomination for long time, being now
one of the leading contestants among
the candidates with delegates pledged
to support in the Republican national
convention
Naturally enough, few Republicans
will vote for Webster because they
know nothing about him. Wood hai

offered to the farmers. In sympathy
with the Chicago markets the local
prices climbed approximately 10
cents Wednesday.
Feature of the seasons activities
on the grain market has been the re-
luctance of the millers to buy, prac-
tically all of the wheat which has
been sold being for export. The mill
ers give the reason that they are
overstocked with flour.
The local harvest has been inter
rupted throughout the week by
showers and considerable wheat is
still in the field. Four or five days
OF good weather will see the last of
the crop threshed, however. Haul
ing is we'll along. The closing of the
tramway brought more grain to Pull
man than in former years.

TAXES AND SCHOOL CONSOLIDA.
TION

In her recent report Mrs, Preston
state superintendent of education.
says:
Many people seem to feel that the
question of taxation is the most seri-
Gus obstacle to school consolidation
But where consolidation has been
tried out, in cases even, where a new
school house has had to be built, the
taxes have not been materially in
creased when compared to the ad-
van.ages which are gained. One must
remember that when the valuations
of several districts are put together.
there is a mu3h larger sum on which
to make a levy. II is also we'll TO
bear in mind that no district is re-
sponsible for the debts of other dis
tricts entering the consolidation
EACH DISTRICT PAYS OFF IT'S
OWN INDEBTEDNESS, just as it
would if it had never entered the
consolidation. 1t then pays it's part
Of the expense of the consolidated
district.
THE bonus from the 1000 days
attendance that both state and
county allow amounts to about 5000
for each district less one in the
number of districts entering the con
solidation. II there are six districts
to be consolidated, the bonus or
present from the state would be five
times $500, or $500, to aid in meet
ing the additional expense of the
new district. In the long run, the
advantages to the community are far
greater than the money cost"

The above quotation from Madi-

vote the trainers of the
constitution expressly declined to
delegate to congress the power
to declare peace. Surely the
gentlemen who oppose ratifying
the covenant of the league OF
nations because of their fear that
IT is incompatible with the sacred
provisions of the constitution, should
be equally Jealous in opposing any
attempt by congress to declare peace
by resolution, which would involve
the usurpation of a power specifical-
~ denied to that body by the wise
men who drafted the constitution.
