and you have opened wide the door to
state charity to all other classes, and
very soon Jim Brown of Mosquito Hol-
low, who represents the farming town
of Blank in the legislature, puts in a
bill for farmers retirement fund,
After it has passed through the vari-
GUS processes, it comes up in the House
for final disposal and Mr.. Brown, au-
thor of the bill, makes the speech of
his life in favor of his bill which con-
vinces the farmers of Mosquito Hollow
that they have made no mistake in
choosing Jim Brown to champion their
cause. He fortiies his position at the
start by reference to the teachers re-
tirement bill that had already been
made a precedent for like legislation.
He makes it clear that while teach
ers work on the basis Of six hour day
and a five-day week, his clients, the
farmers and their wives, work on a
u to IA hour day basis and nearly
seven days per week, He does not quite

easier and surer way OF appealing to
their sympathies and very soon tears
are flowing and handkerchiefs are 90
ing in all parts of the house He drops
into his seat and calls for the vote,
which is unanimous for his bill.
Then Bill Jones Of Blank City arises
and calls up his similar bill in the in.
terests Of the carpenters, painters and
plumbers union, and displays more
eloquence than did the victorious Jim
Brown. He tells them that unless his
bill is passed no public school build
ing can be painted or plumbing done,
and many more things regarding said
unions terms and specifications etc,
and his bill and lots Of other bills in
behalf Of other classes Of citizens, APP

are passed and then the seemingy-un-
thought-of question arises, Who will

Editor, Barre Daily Times: Under
the above heading in your issue OF
March appears as a reprint from the
Boston Transcript criticism Of the
Vermont board Of control which tries
t. belittIe said board, if, indeed, 1t does
not wilfully misrepresent 1t.
1t complains that said board IS try,

exhibits as much bias in the interests
OF certain progressive measures as
the most extreme economists may be
doing in opposition thereto. II stout

Grated in said bill of complaint against
the board Of control is its opposition

ment fund for any other one OF the
MANY other classes of workers in our
busy world. The very suggestion Of
such class legislation carries with 1t
its own condemnation and violates ev-

other classes who serve the needs OF

For anv state legislature to make
appropriation for any one class OF peo-

This principle applies TO all classes ex-
cept the soldier, who, by reason OF his
having faced the missiles Of death IN
behalf of his country is entitled 10 all

expense of those who were not plunged
| into the vortex of war.
And yet the spirit shown by the
American Legion in refusing pro-
posed bounty lest it reflect upon and
beittle their patriotism is highly COM
mendable. And so, also, il the teachers

against all proposed legislation that
would paQperize them in old age, they
would stand on high ground in public

ENFORCING PAYMENT.

The new move against Germany by
France, Great Britain and Belgum-al-
lies but still not the allies because
their number is far less than in the
World war--serious as the move may
seem, Is not likely to result in re-
sumption of warfare, which has been
quiescent for year and hall, oth-
cially and otherwise, Germany admits
that she was the defeated nation in the
war, albeit Germany may cling to the
assertion that she was not response
bic for the outbreak of the war AS
the defeated nation, Germany also adj
mits that she must pay damages, or
reparations 10 the victorious nations
such as may demand pay OF her. Ger
many signed the Versailles treaty with
that understanding and with the tull
knowledge that the allies were to eX-
act large sum from her because she
had inflicted great wrong on her enc
mics, particularly France and Belgium
Now Germany refuses to pay-refuses
to paw the amount demanded by the
allies. Therefore, it devolves upon the
victorious nations, which are demand
ing pay, to force payment OF the sum
demanded. Germany cannot take the
poor debtors oath and avoid paying in
that way, for there IS no international
poor debtors oath, and, besides, Ger
many is altogether too prosperous to
permit her to take such a stand. So
Germany is striving otherwise to sneak
out of payment OF an obligation which,
outside of that country, is considered
none too large when the wrong which
Germany committed is considered.
Germany has been relying on the
good nature and lack of energy on the
part of her crstwhilc enemies to let her
ont OF large part Of her obligation
But Germany Judged incorrectly, just
as she did during the height OF the
war when her statesmen told the peo-
ple of Germany that the United States
would not enter the war and that, even
if the United States did enter, the aid
would be too late to have any effect
in checking the progress of German in
vasion. German psychology in the pres
ent instance is faulty just as it was in
the war period. Troops OF the allied
countries are already on the march into
German territory; the collection OF the
customs of the added territory is even
now about to start; Germany is about
