IMMIGRANTS ON THE LAND

From some recent demands that the
immigrant be compelled by legislation to
take up agriculture in his adopted land
one might imagine that none but native
Americans were engaged in farming. The
JuneJuly issue of Foreign born is
largely devoted to the subject of the i'm
migrant in American agriculture. Its
various statements show that not only
do many immigrants find their way to
the farmlands of the nation, but that
they succeed there
An Armenian near New Orleans is
credited with having the largest silk
worm nursery in the world. There are
Czech agricultural settlements in &c
states, Wisconsin leading with 40 OF
these colonies. There are Italian farm
ers in Connecticut and Poles in Massa
chusetts. OF the latter, one, writer says
TN three generations many of them
have passed through Successive Stages as
farm laborers, tenants and land owners
of some of the most valuable acres"
1t is undoubtedly true that many i'm
migrants come to our shores with higt
hopes which are never fulfilled. This is
Americas fault, in many cases, as much
as the immigrants. To a great many
others, however, this is the land of hap
py fulfllment as well as of promice.

CENTRAL AMERICAN LEAGUE

There is likely to be a Central Ameri-
ca league of nations. 1t may even be a
United States of Central America.
Such a union. has long been contem-
plated, but Nicaragua has held aloof be-
cause she feared to jeopardze her treaty
rights with the United States. Near
aqua prizes her relations with this coun-
try particularly because of the treaty
which gives the United States the right
to build a canal across Nicaraguan ter.
ritory Such a canal would benefit the
country greatly. The United States may
build it, too, some time. in spite of the
present adequacy of the Panama Canal.
1t is a good route. which was long pre-
ferred to the Panama route, and if traf-
fic ever taxes the present canal, or an
earthquake destroys it. or war imperils
it, it may prove well to have two strings
to Uncle Sans bow.
Nicaragua has now received assurance
from Washington that the United States
win be pleased, rather than otherwise
to see the Central American union made
complete. Nicaragua, therefore, which
constitutes the keystone, has signifed her
willingness to join Costa Rica, Honduras
Guatemala and Salvador, which have al
ready got such union under way.
1t will be an excellent thing for the
whole hemisphere if those five little coun-
tries, each insignificant in itself but full
of potential trouble can manage to frame
up working agreement and operate as
a practical unit politically. 1t will mean
peace in a long-disturbed area. A Cen
trail American union, too, may be pre-
cursor to an effective Pan-American un,
ion, long dreamed of but not yet brought
to full realization.

has been the danger it presented of en-
larging the presidents cabinet to I'M
wieldy proportions. The proposal to
combine two other departments under
one head is an indication that reorgani-
cation works both ways. creating new and
needed offices, and also eliminating du
plication of service. The combination
of the two defense branches should not
lessen the efficiency of either department
in its special field. 1t should, on the
other hand. increase the efficiency of both
in many ways, such as cooperative buy
ing of supplies. materials and equipment.
If the proposed arrangement actually
means greater executive efficiency and
ecoomy, no selfish interests should be al
lowed to impede its establishment.

will be exceptional times, of course, when
something wholly unforeseen like the dcs-
truction of the Connecticut river bridge,
viii boost expenditures Unexpectedly, but
the proper sort of budget arrangement
would make allowance for such happen
ings and absorb them all over term of
years. The reason The A1eddler so
strongly advocated making start this
year on reducing the towns liabilities
was not because he felt there was any
need of paying the whole of them with
in given time but because he foresaw a
steadily mounting debtaunIess the start
were made.

any, increase in the rate now in effect.

The Meddler
"If the coat fits you, put it on"

The suggestion that the armOry and
community house appropriation be raised
by special tax instead of by a bond
issue shows belief in the pay-as-you go
policy with which The Meddler, is thor
oughly in sympathy. In fact, he has
argued for the adoption of, such a system
on more than one occasion and probably
will again. In the case of the proposed
armory appropriation, however, The Med
dler has grave doubts whether it would be
wise to attempt to pay it in one year. 1t
could be done, of course. A special tax
of 40 cents would provide almost as much
money as the maximum which the armory
and community house project contem-
plates But such action would be ques-
tionable in view of the fact that the 1922
state tax is to be 40 cents instead of 20
cents, the rate this year. The prospect of
a higher state tax in 1922 than in 1921
was one of the arguments used at the last
town meeting in favor of the special 20
cent levy to apply on the towns indebted
ness, and was probably the one which
most largely influenced the vote, The
people felt that this would be a better year
for a special tax than next year.

If, for example, q Accent armOry tax
were to be assessed on next years grand
list in addition to the 40-cent state tax
it would mean an increase of 40 cents, or
81 a thousand, in the 1922 rate over that
of 1921-more, probably, than the aver
age taxpayer would feel as if he ought TO
pay in one lump for project from which,
it is assumed, future generations will get
as much benefit as the present. There is
connection. and that is that the present
Vermont law requires town bond issues
to be made serially, over a period no
longer than 20 years and in substantially
equal amounts. This in effect makes
every town provide a sinking fund for the
retirement of its bonds as they become
due Hence, if the town should decide
to issue bonds to provide the funds needed
on the armory and community house pro-
ject it would have to provide for their
payment within 20 years. And as to the
rate of interest at which they could be
loated, The Meddler has it from a man
who is not only deeply interested in the
project himself but is a person of consid-
cradle means, that the issue could in all
probability" be taken care of at per cent.
The phrase in quotations was probably
added more as a figure of speech than
anything else At any rate, in view of the
statement The NIeddler believes > per cent
to be safe interest rate to figure on in
this particular case even if it is less than
the market
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-07-29

The foregoing should not be construed
as evidence that The Meddler has gone
back on his oft-made- statement that de-
ferring payments for public improve,
ments is poor policy. He still believes
that to be true in general sense, but ad-
mits that there are occasions when bond
issues are not only justifable but in the
long run economical. Suppose, for the
sake of illustration, that Brattleboro had
definitely decided to put a brick paving
on Main street. 1t would not only be fool
ish but extravagant to think of laying
only as much paving as could be paid for
out of current funds each year, for the
extra expense in doing it piece meal
would more than offset the interest
charge on the funds needed to do the
whole job at once.
The all-important thing is a plan of
town financing that in the long run will
steadily reduce the town debt There
