The Story OF
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XIV.-VERMONT

tains. and 1t was likewise the
French who were probably the
first white men to see those iofty
landmarks which SO appropri-
ately give this state its name.
This was in July, 1909, when
Champlain made his memorable
voyage up the lake now called
after him.
The first permanent settle
ment was made in 1T24 at Brat
tleboro, where the Massachusetts
colony established a fort as
buffer against invasion from the
north. The territory used was
part of what was known as the
Equivalent Lands" which were
sold at public auction in Hart
ford for about farthing an
acre, the proceeds being donated
to Yale college. Shortly after
this. settlers pushed eastward
from New York across Lake
Champlain and westward from
New Hampshire. This led to dis
putes between these two colo
MES as TO their boundaries. I'm
der the leadership of Ethan Al
len New York's claims were re-
sisted by local military force,
which proudly called themselves
.tthe Green Mountain Boys" Ii
was these same men who played
such a brilliant part during the
Revolution.
In HIT a formal Constitution
for the state was adopted ana
Vermonters are proud of the fact
that theirs was the first of the
states to prohibit slavery by
constitutional provision. For
number of years Vermont re-
mained as separate republic,
but in 1901 il was admitted to
the Union as the first addition to
the original thirteen states.
Ia size Vermont has 9,564
square miles, and its congress
sional delegation numbers four.
1t thus casts four votes for the
president.

HOOVER TAKES ACTION
ON n. J. UNEMPLOYMENT

TRENTON, Oct. 197Governor
Edwards has just received a tele-
gram from Herbert j. Hoover, of
the Federal Department of COM
merce, asking that New Jersey CO.
operate with the suggestion of the
Presidents unemployment confer
ence in that it inaugurate new road
building program to relieve the sit
uation. Mr.. Hoover asks If New
Jersey could start such a program
within ninety days providing con-
gress made additional ~appropria-
tions available for this purpose
within ten days. In response to
this communication, the governor
states that this state will cooper
ate with the government in any
movement to terminate this pc
riod of unemployment. The gov
ernor further calls attention to the
fact that New Jersey has contract
ed for over 200 miles of road and
is planning more just as soon as
funds are provided. The govern
or's answer is as follows:
I'VE will cooperate in any move
ment to terminate or alleviate the
period of unemployment. Any ap-
preparation made by the federal
government for road construction
will be met on the terms of such
appropriation by New Jersey and
contracts covering such a%ppropria-
ton will be entered into by the
state of New Jersey as soon as pos
sible.
New Jersey has contracted in
the year 1921 for over 200 miles of
road, and is planning to contract
for an equivalent amount, so far
as the funds TO pay for anne can
be made available.
Keep in touch with me. so that
intelligent cooperation may be sus-
tained."
The telegram sent by Mr.. Hoover
to the governor urging this coop
Grafton is as follows;
The Presidents unemployment
conference has recommended expe-
dition of road construction during
the present period of unemploy-
ment. VIII you kindly inform me
how much new road work could be
started by your state within nine
~ days if additional appropriations
shall be made available by congress
within ten days?"
