Criticism of State Waste and
Extravaganza, by Howard
L. Hindley of Rutland

Howard l.. Hindley of Rutland. edi.
tor Of the Rutland Herald, was tbe
speaker al a Bennington club smoker
Friday evening. his topic being the
expense account of the state Of Yer.
mont
Mr. iIindiey is specially fitted to
speak on this subject from his long
service az a legislative co r.spondeDt
and from his close assorlati n with
Governor Clement and !. a eeyeral
campaigns previous TO his &c gien.
IN opening, Mr.. Hindiey st that
criticism Is desirable In -tste sad DO
litlcal matters, not becaaAe pubi.e Of
nciais are corrupt or dish Guest but
tecause the average person does
not pay sufficient attention to public
affairs and Is therefore often not pre-
pared to act inte ligently when be
goes to town meeting or to tho ballot
box to vote for state officers and
members Of the legislature,
state expenses have been mounting
rapidly In Vermont in recent years
and the Legislature Of 1921 at Mont
pelier WHICH will bring the grand
total for the present two years to near
ly or quite eight million dollars. The
state tax for these two years Is so
ceuts on the dollar and this Is not
nearly enough to pay the bill At tho
end Of the present bienn.um there will
be deficit whio,l is likely to exceed
a million dollars and Vermont Is rap
idly approaching a dollar state tax
The cause of this tremendous
growth In state appropriations hal
been the case with which 1t has bee
possible to get help from the state r.
al sorts Of paternallstic effort and
STEADY increase in the costs of roao
schools, the department of Justice All
other Legitimate expenses of the state.
Mr. Hlndley urged the citizens and
taxpayers TO pay more attention t4
the calls for money and to look out
about sending representatives to
Montpelier with demand Of any kind
for state aid. It Is the grouping OF
these demands and their promoters
pulling together tAat take so nsleh of
the peoples money and VIII take
more unless there is a change.
MIR. Hindley's address was atten-
lively listened to and enjoyed bys
about so members OF the cub. He
went on record as opposed to bonding
the state for the building of roads and
questioned the wisdom OF spend ng
100000 every two years for the eradi
cation Of bovine tuberculosis

Baldwin Farmers
Told How to Fight
Pesky Boil Weevil

MILLEDGEV1LLE Ga, July T.
Although it was the first open day

for several days, large crowd
turned out at the courthouse for the
boil weevil meeting Tuesday. The
State College of Agriculture. United

Baldwin county farm bureau and
County Agent L. E. Swain, cooperate
ing, held the meeting.
j. G. Liddell. of the State Colleges
CT Agriculture, discussed methods
of fighting the weevil. bringing out
the very important point that the
farmers must get on a self-sustain-
ing basis before they can fight the
weevil successfully. He stressed the
hog as one of the first things to
take up.
Paul Tabor. of the State Agricul-
turaI college, gave a very interesting
lecture on pasture grasses and how
to get a permanent pasture estab"
liShed.
J. V. Vernon, with the United
States department of agriculture.
working out from the Delta labora-
tory. Tallulah, La, talked on calinum
arsenate and how to use it. He
stressed that if the farmer did not
intend to follow government instruc.
tons and do the work right, he had
better leave it alone. Mr.. Vernon
brought a two-reel picture on dust
ing the weevil. Through the kindness
of NJ NJ Flemister. this was showa
at the theater here. The entire crowd
took advantage of this. All expressed
themselves that they got a much
clearer idea as to how the busting
should be done.
