That Brandon School Trouble

As a result of the trouble over the
reading of the Bible in the high school
at Brandon, Principal Walker, upon
being reinstated and given absolute
control and authority, caused printed
slips to be given to all students, asking
parents or guardians to sign these
excuses if they desired students to
be absent from chapel exercise. The
Kew. T.. +. Cray, who started the trou-
Die by requesting that the reading of
the Bible be stopped, announced that
the parents would not write the ex-
cuses and that "the children will not
bring the excuses" The intimation
was given that the Catholics would
defy Principal Walker.
Since the above was put into tvne
thlrty-six pupils of the iunior-senior
high school have been suspended bv
Prln. Walker for not bringing their
parents written excuses stating that
they should not attend morning ex-
erclses," at which the Bible is read
All the pupils suspended were Catho-
lIcs. Fifteen or 20 Catholic students
brought statements from their par
ents that they did not object to hay-
ing their children attend morning
exercises. What action will be taken
by the parents of those expelled is not
known, but it is understood some ac-
ton will be taken.

EMERY FOR GOVERNOR

This paper takes unusual satisfac-
ton in endorsing the candidacy of C.
S. Emery of Newport for the Repub-
hcan nomination for governor of Yer
mont. From the first mention of his
name we have seen in him the man
best fitted for this high office.
By training and experience Mr..
Emery would enter the chief executive
office of Vermont with a knowledge
of public affairs few men have been
priviledged to enjoy. His three terms
IN the House of Representatives once
as young man and two terms after
reaching more mature years; his SER
vice in the senate; his position on the
staff of a former governor; his place
IN Washington as secretary to Senator
Proctor; his experience as collector
of customs; his service in the Rep
ubllcan state committee; his exper-
fence IN town and county office; his
term as mayor of Newport; positions
held by him where he came in direct
contact with the public, and his pri-
yate business have given into his
hands a wealth of training many gov
ernors have lacked In all these
places of trust Mr.. Emery has ac-
quilted himself with marked esteem.
We have every reason to believe
that the candidacy of Mr.. Emery will
receive a warm welcome in all parts
OF Vermont and that the primaries
will see him lead all other candidates
on the ticket by a wide margin.

Has Elements of Concentration
randolph HeraId)

Thee Barton Monitor has "a plan for
remedying the ills of the small, poor
towns without wiping out their iden-
uty by consolidating them with other
towns. 1t proposes county unit and
uniform tax rate in respect to control
OF highways and schools and assess
ment of property for taxation pur-
poses, which it thinks would equalize
burdens, promote the welfare uni
formly, and not be too great a wrench
upon conditions long established.
Such scheme has elements that COM
mend it above the present situation,
but is not ideal. The county, in our
opinion. would not often be a workable
unit. Several of the Vermont coun-
ties lack geographic and economic
conference and could not well serve the
interests of the individual towns. Such
a plan for the entire state as the Mon
ltor suggests for the counties might be
worked out to dvantage-certainly
to the advantage of the suffering
towns. The whole question is rather
academic than practical, however, for
no town would give up its identity and
sef-control until it reached an abso
iutely hopeless condition, and the leg
lslature would doubtless look un-
kindly upon any plan looking toward
olsmemberment and Capitalization.

The Small Town Problem
L Il n


Vermont is full of small towns and
the situation confronting those towns
constitutes real small town problem.
Decreasing population and an increas-
ing tax rate makes the problem. Take
the good old town of Grafton as an
illustration. The census of 1900 gave
a population of 804; the census of 1910
729, and a Grafton man states that
the census of 1920 gives only about
800, shringage of third in about
ten years. This is the story in many,
many of the so-called back towns,
meaning towns remote from a rail-
road. These towns each year assume
a larger burden of taxation, but few
of them can raise the tax rate as fast
as the cost of running the schools
and town government increases. Is it
any wonder that the young, what few
there are, move to the more promis-
ing fields of endeavor? Is it any
wonder that the old and others tied
to the soil in these towns are discour-
aged? Is the population in Vermont
to be confined in the valleys and along
the railroads and leave the towns in
the foothills to grow up thistles and
bushes?

GOV. CLEMENT REFUSES
Republican State Committee Asks
Governor to Call Special Session

Basing his action on the same
grounds as those which dictated his
former disapproval of the woman suf-
frage bill, Governor Percival w.
Clement has refused to call a special
session of the Vermont legislature
for the purpose of ratifying the suf-
frage amendment, addressing his re-
fusal to the head of the Republican
state committee, which committee
asked him to call special session to
ratify the suffrage amendment as
reported below.
The T publican State Committee
held ms citing in Burlington last week,

ing the 1doption-of a resolution cal
ling on Gov. p w. Clement for the

presenting the woman's division of
the Republican National Committee,
Mrs. Edward Curtis Smith of St. AL
bans and Mrs. A. L. Bailey of St.
Johnsbury appeared before the COM
mittee in behalf of a special session.
The committee also decided to call
the state convention for the election of
delegates to the Republican National
Convention on Wednesday, May &c.
Caucauses to elect delegates to this
convention will be held on Saturday,
May %. 1t was voted to make the
basis of representation in the state
convention the same as for the pres
idential state convention four years
ago. The place of holding the con-
ventin was left with the executive
committee.
Col. ]. E. Paddock of Bellows Falls
was elected chairman of the state
committee and Collins N Graves of
Bennington, secretary. Leonard F.
Wing of Rutland was elected as Rut-
land county member of the state COM
mittee to succeed B. L. Stafford, who
has resigned.
The resolution requesting Gov. Gle
ment to call a special session of the
legislature follows:
Resolved that the Vermont State
Republican Committee are of the
unanimous opinion, in view of the de-
claration of both the Republican and
Democratic National Organizations,
in favor of the right of suffrage for
women and IN view of the widespread
recognition of the merits of this mea-
sure of political justice, that Gov.
Clement should promptly call an extra
session of the Vermont Legislature,
for the purpose of ratifying the pro-
posed amendment, to the federal con-

A Special Session
est. Adams Messenoerl


The Republican state committee ;s
TO be commended for having adonted
unanimously the two resolutions re-
iatlng to woman suffrage, the one re-
questlng Clement to call special
sessions of the legislature to cons;de-
the proposed amendment to the fedora
constitution and the other seft;no
Iorth the belief that the amendment
should be ratified. III
Nothing but plain political common
sense IS necessary to justify this ac-
ton. Woman suffrage is ali but here
1t IS inevitable. Vermont ought not
to stand in the way, making it neces-
sary for large numbers to wait for
another four years before they can
exercise presidential suffrage.
The Messenger hopes that Gov. Gle
ment will listen to the advice given
nm by the responsible central COM
mittee OF his party. The whole stu
alton has changed so much in recent
months that the Governor would be
more than justified in opening the path
Ior a consideration of this question.
A special session need not be lone
or expensive. If the governor heeds
the advice, in all probability the mem
Ders OF the legislature would also on
Its part follow out the belief of the
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1920-03-03
