The failure of the Vermont legis
Iature OF 1921 to accomplish much in
the way of progress is to be lament
ed but it is not surpr sing. On the
whole 1t made little better record
than the legislature of two years age
and its timidity in acton saved 1t from
some blunders that seemed to threat
en-. Looking back over the sessions
OF the past twenty years it is seen
that only occasionally has a Vermont
legislature risen to its opportunity
notably in 1906 under the leadership
Iof Governor Proctor and in 1912
when Governor Fletcher by force
and persistence held the legislature
in session until it finally found itself
and made the best record of any SEES
sion in the memory of the present
generation. 1t is not always the leg
islature with the highest average OF
ability that makes the best records

Vermont leg stature in fifty years

The future welfare of the state of
Vermont requires the healthy growth

ON UNEMPLOYMENT.

every likely it will be a good thing to have a con-
ference on Unemployment" asserts the Manchester
Union. eve can't say that we expect it to result in
~anybody's going to work right away, but it may be
useful by putting its finger on some of the key logs
of the industrial jam, and it may point the way to
economic methods calculated to prevent these jams, or
reduce their frequency in the future.
Meanwhile the situation is little short of appall-
ing. We are getting along towards cold weather, and
in New York city alone half a million workers are
They can't do that a few weeks hence.
"At the same time, tens of thousands of men could
go to work in New York, and make work for thousands
upon thousands more, if it were possible to renew
building operations on a basis promising reasonable
security for investors in realty, And throughout the
whole country, building would start with a rush if it
could be done on a common sense cost basis.
we are inclined to think that one Of the key logs
of the jam is right here, in the item of building costs.
"But there are others also, and besides the key logs
there are countless more that are helping make the
jam. Back of it all lies the fierce individualism that

Dor unions and what not are doing precisely the
things, in their chase after that last cent, to keep men
out of work. The congressman helped, too, by block
ing the lberating of the railroad money until after

half million men to work.

that money can buy anything. Never wa greater

A man is more to be judged by what he has in his
head, than by what he has, in bank. By what ideals

cunning schemes he has devised to wiring a profit from

Wealth and intellectual refinement make a proper
partnership. Wealth without culture is dangerous.
The fact that the wealth of today is to an extent in
the hands of i~lliterates who never before possessed
means and know not and cannot appreciate the re-

that has obtained in business and financial affairs and
the decentralization of purity and right standards in

in knowledge and the wisdom that follows with it.

Unsecured loans will not appeal to the best bank

something to say about this benevolent innovation.
But if "a loan department for making loans in small

interest charges can be made to succeed, the bank

A MAVERICK FROM OKLAHOMA.

The champion boob of the lower house of congress
is one Manuel Herrick of Oklahoma who resides down
on the Cherokee strip" and specialzes in Herrick's
Giant Yellow Corn and Copper Faced Hereford cat
tie. In these useful endeavors he is possibly best able
to serve his country for as a member of congress
there is a doubt in the mind of most people who have
come in personal contact with him since his arrival
in Washington.
He leaped into notoriety by the introduction of a
bill to abolish beauty contests by newspapers, con-
ventiops and all other interests who sought by vote
or other manner to determine the most beautiful girl
deemed it destructive of all of the refinements and
modesty of American maidenhood. If a lady pos
sessed beauty she must wear it deco-ously at home or
hide it under the well known buzhel. The world was
to remain in ignorance of it and the ENJOYMENT there
of. Herrick's bill made no hit with the pratt girls of
the land and the move queens xad the l~sscs in wait
ing of the scr. IN "sprang to arms overnight" as W.
]. B. might express it.
The real object of the bill appeared when the Okla
homa congressman opened a correspondence school
and addressed numerous of the beautiful maidens
whose pictures were even then appearing in the Sun
day editions of a local newspaper, in an endeavor to
corral at least one of them to preside over the ranch
house kitchen in Okl.homa, where giant yellow corr
grows in abundance and Copper Faced Hereford cat
tie attain highest perfection.
His method was first to dissuade the beauty candi
date to abandon the contest, then to induce her to Fl,
her affections perm anently upon the grower Of Clan
yellow corn.
He annoyed one after another of the beautiful
maidcns in Washington until he became the quest o
so large a company of irate fathers, brothers and reg
ular suitors that life was unsafe outside of his board
ing house.

Germany for many years has led the world in chem
ical discovery and development. She has achieved
this position owing to the fact her men of science and
leaders in economics have seen TO it that coal is not
burned but roasted. That the coke is used as fuel
and the by-products for chemical purposes aid for
the manufacture of dyes.
American enterprise should be no whit behind Ger
man enterprise. American economy should be at
least equal to or n step in advance of Germanys
Dyes for which we have depended upon Germany to
furnish for many years. should be made in our own
country. We had this called sharply to our stten-
ton when the war prevented importation.
It was lesson sufficient to induce US to provide our
own dyes from our own raw materials and be indie
pendent and create business and employment for our
own people. It would seem to be good sense.
The president takes the view that it is essential that
there shall be built up and maintained in this coun-
try a dye industry unsurpassed by that Of any other
country.
One fundamental truth has been brought home to
US, which is, that anything we cam analyze accurate
iy and ascertain its constituent elements, that thing
we can create.
As Senator Knox sums up the whole dye situation
in America, it appears to require prompt action and
unanimous action, on the part of congress, if it de-
sired to do its duty toward the people and the bust
ness interests of the country. Speaking Of the dye
measure the senator aptly says:
"f this measure were n project to invest a billion
dollars of government money for the purpose of build
ing up an industry that would save a billion dollars
a year and be a great factor in our preparedness
against another destructive war. I would favor it; but
il is not that The gentlemen who propose to build up
these industries propose to do it at their own expense,
and all that they ask the government of the United
States to do is to prevent for a period of three years
the importation into this country of such dyes as are
made here in merchantable quantities. The PROPOSE
ton is reasonable. It has nothing to do with the tar
if. It is not a question of tariff legislation. 1t is a
question of wise, farseeing preparedness and of wise,
farseeing economy"
