PRESS COMMENT
The Way for Vermont

State papers are criticising the
increase in state expenses and the
resulting increase of the tax bur-
den. 1t is a justifiable complaint,
but it is negative in it's nature. At
ter all is said and done, the way
out for the state of Vermont is to
follow the Hartness doctrine that
what is needed is action which will
create new values and thereby
make available increased tax
sources. Some day the state will
elect a legislature which will de-
vote itself to this constructive eff
fort, ana no better work could be
done by the state press than to
foster the idea. Eliminate all per-
sonalities from the movement,
make it state endeavor. The peo-
pie have shown that they are for
it. Next is required a legislature
big enough to drop petty wrang-
lings and broad enough to 60 after
big things for the state instead of
after scalps of indiviuuals.-St.
Adams Messenger.

opmnet of the training given to the
members of the boy scouts. Young
Gagetta (Go-getter he might be
appropriately calD was passing
along the highway in a team when
he noticed young boy laundering
about in deep water, evidently i'll
distress and in immediate danger
Of drowning. Without considering
his own chances in a life and
death struggle with the drowning
lad, Gagetta plunged into the pond
and was able, after considerable eff
fort, to get the drowning lad onto
raft and later to the shore. The
boy scout instruction is alone the
line of action taken by the coura-
geous boy of Hardwick: it tends to
develop the best there is in the
young fellows and it very often is
successful in bringing out the best
in youth. Moreover, it instructs
in being ready for an emergency as
was so well demonstrated in the
case reported by the Hardwick Ga
zette in recent isue. Parents de-
sirous of developing their sons
along sane and helpful lines could
find no better aid outside their
own influence than by having the
boys join the boy scout movement
and work fundamentally in its
various lines. including a trip to a
summer camp where the boys are
taught to swim and to do other
things which are almost indispen-
sable to life's emergencies. If the
boys have the stuff in them land
most of them have) it will be de-
veloped greatly through training
and association gained through
the boy scout organization

An Ex-Governor 81 Years Young

Former Governor Ebenezer j
Ormsbee of Brandon was visitor
in Bennington this week, attend
ing annual meeting of the trustees
of the Soldiers home. Governor
Ormsbee has been member OF
this board since it was formed 35
years ago and has been secretary
for many years. Mr.. Ormsbee is
now the oldest of Vermont's living
ex-governors except Governor
Samuel e. Pingree whom he
succeeded in office in 1886. Dung
the Pingree administration Mr..
Ormsbee was lieutenant governor.
He is now 81 years old and, owing
to lameness, spends much of his
time in a wheel chair, but his mind
is clear as bell and he enjoys an
argument over any of the current
questions of the day. Speaking OF
President Harding, Governor
Ormsbee said to the writer:
"People do not realize the tremen-
dous growth of responsibility that
rests or the President OF the
United States. There are several
single states that have a larger
population than had the entire
country back in the days of Wash
ington. Even Lincoln in Civil
War times had few problems to
meet compared with the President
today. The vast development Of
this country and the intimate world
problems brought to US by &c
World war have brought a weight
of burden to the presidential ofiice
that was not even dreamed OF III
the earlier and simpler days of the
republic" Governor Ormsbee be-
lieves that President Harding Is
making a good record. He says
that the President is not impul-
sive and is willing to hear all
sides and that when he reaches !
decis on it is generally correct.
Gradually but surely Mr.. Harding
is entangling the maze of troubles
that follow in the wake of the war
He seeks to aid the foreign nations
in arriving at solution of their
troubles without entangling the
United States which might make
this country the victim of Euro
pean mistakes.
Governor Ormsbee has a fine
garden at his home in Brandon and
can talk gardening with as much
enthusiasm as he does state affairs.

Less Fish


Sunday was good day to 20
J fishing. The weather was right,
| the streams were in splendid con-
dition, but very few fish we're
caught.
The reason is not far to seek.
There are not fish enough to
fill the baskets of all who like to
fish, and the supply is growing
less.
There are 10 fishermen now
where there were one 80 years agv
and each year the fishing waters
grow less, owing to pollution, the
drying up of streams and of the
introduction and spread of coarse
fish. 1t is hioh time for the fisher
men to take warnin" and plan for
the future of their sport.
Here in Bennington county
there ought to be several trout
clubs, each of which should build
an artificial lake and keep it stock
ed.
This would relieve the pressure
on the streams and at the same
time every club should cooperate
in maintaining the fishing under
natural conditions.
The fishermen should organize
to fight pollution, to enforce the
close season, to limit the abuse Of
the fish hogs and to protect the
forests which are essential to Tie
live flow of streams.
Fishing is the finest of outdoor
sports and Vermont fishermen
have a better opportunity alan
those of most other states.
They should realize the danger
that faces the sport and take ac-
ton in time.-Bennington Banner.
