MILK DRINKERS,

This is becoming a nation of milk
drinkers. Figures from Washington
show that the average American today
drinks twice as much milk as his father
did, in spite of his greater distance from
the source of supply. Last year we con
sumed Al gallons per capita, not includ
ing the milk used in ice-cream, cheese and
butter.
That is more than twice as much alco-
holic liquor as the average American ever
consumed, in any form. The record con-
sumption of beer was a fraction less than
IS gallons per capita, in 1917, and the
record consumption of ali intoxicants to-
gether, in the same year, was under 20
gallons.
Tell this to the cross-eyed moralists
who insist that there is more drinking
than ever before, under prohibition -
There is more drinking, indeed-of milk.
1t is the natural and inevitable substitute
for beer and wine. 4 sensible and
healthy nation has already made the dis
Covery, and acting on it, is steadily grow
ing more sensible and healthy. Beer
played hob with peoples kidneys. So
did wine. Whiskey frazzled their nerves
and stomachs. Milk is good for nerves
and indigestion. 1t puts flesh on bones
and color in cheeks.
People talk about ''home-brew' more
than they do about milk, just as people
gossip more about vice than about viz
tue; but it's easy to see, in either case.

sured at the outset of the session that
the governor was favorable to a measure
of this sort, the latter is said to have
wavered bit when the measure finally
reached the executive chamber and to
have considered giving it pocket veto"
The story goes that when Senator Dun
nam heard of the probable fate of the
measure to which he had devoted so many
hours and in whose cause he had suffered
the agonies of a joke session, he went
straight to the executive and told him
fatty what the understanding was in the
first place. The Durham bill was among
those signed by Governor Hardness over
the weekend.

Now that the legislature has passed
the bill providing for a state tax of 20
cents this year and 40 cents next year,
it is apparent that the voters at town
meeting did a wise thing in selecting the
present as the time for making a pay
ment on the towns Indebtedness. As
Stunning that there will be no increase in
the village and incorporated school dis
trict taxes this year-and there certainly
ought to be none-the total rate for res
idents within the village and school dis
trict will be $3.50 this year compared
with $3.50 for 1920, while the rate for
residents outside the incorporated linn
it's will be S23.10 this year as compared
to $3.50 in 1920. This decrease of so
cents per thousand of valuation will be
possible in spite of the 20-cent special
tax which was voted to apply on the
town debt and which should raise more
than $1,000 for that worthy purpose
Had the town postponed action on the
special tax until next year it would have
been confronted with state tax so large
as to make such action impossible with
out a considerable increase in the total
tax rate.

The opposition which developed to the
commissioners proposal to extend the vii
lage limits was to have been expected. It
serves to back up The Meddler's oft-made
contention that the only worthwhile plan
of local governmental improvement is
that which contemplates a consolidation
of town, village and incorporated school
district. There would be advantages, of
course, in an extension of the village linn
it's for there is not getting away from
the truth of the assertion that residents
who enjoy village advantages should pay
fair share of their cost. But no such
extension would correct the troubles
which come about through the divided
authority and duplicated effort existing
under the present l-within-a-wheel
arrangement. 1t takes some courage to
keep boosting this plan, which seems no
nearer adoption than it was when The
Meddler began to advocate it number of
years ago, but he is convinced neverthe-
less that it offers the only real solution
of the trouble.

signed by the governor and is part of
