! should be conducted with some re-
| gard for the tax payers money.
/ Certain it is that our Vermont
Legislature does not act upon the
above policy generally adopted by
individuals. An appropriation bill
passed by the Legislature OF 1917
Illustrates my point. This bill car
ried an Appropriation of S30,000
to build d state road through
Smugglers Notch in the Green
Mountains, The best argument it
seems to me for the bill was that
VermOnt's scenic beauty is one of
/ its greatest assets and that we do
not exploit its charm as we ought,
but those legislators who wanted
| to practice a little state economy
felt that we could not afford
Vermont Mohawk Trail and that
if the state had $4,000 extra cash
to expend on highways it should
be used where more of those who
had to help pay for it would de-
rive some direct benefit. Two sub
sequent legislatures have made
appropriation for this state road
and of course, the upkeep OF the
same means an amending bill OF
expense to the taxpayers of the
state. 1t was, in fact an expense
that the state could i'll afford.
A member of the legislature who
makes any serious effort to OPP
pose extravaganza is often made to
appear ridiculous. Let me men ton
an occasion that occurs to me. In
1913 there was a referendum be-
fore the people of Vermont as to
the desirability of building an an
mex to the state house and the peo-
pie voted against the proposition
by an emphatic majority. Disre-
garding the result of the referen-
dunn the legislature of 1915 APP
propriated $150,000 to build he
annex. The original bill called for
100000, but the opposition sue
ceeded in cutting it down to $3.50,
600. The annex was erected and
the first bill before the Legislature
of 1917 was an appropriation OF
$4,000 to construct a more mn
posing portico over the front door
and embellish the interior with a
more costly finish. | had the tenn
Gritty to appear before the senate
building committee and oppose the
bill and when it was reported fav-
orably by the committee | further
outraged precedent by fatty OPP
posing the bill on the floor of the
senate. On roll call the senate
stood "a to 8 in favor of the APP
preparation, passed under suspen-
sion of the rule thus apparently IN
dicating that those against the bill
were either obstinate or stupid OF
both. After such an experience one
feels reluctant to make the at
tempt to sweep back the ocean
with broom.
We may be sure, however, that
unless the next legislature APP
proaches the question of economy |
and retrenchment seriously and
with a determination to put such |
a policy over, we are going to have |
a state tax assessed against the
towns larger than the amount of |
of money some of these towns re- !
quired few years ago to pay all |
their expenses and the only way |
to gain the desired result in 1922
is to make economy and retrench-

WHO WANTS A
BUFFALO FOR A PET /?


YELLOWSTONE PARK, Wyo.,
July 23-The problem of the buf-
falo has reversed itself.
A few years ago the monarch OF
the plains was chief figure in the
drama of a dying species. The
problem today is how to feed and
take care of the rapidly multiply
ing herds.
Yellowstone provides a huge hay
ranch for the sole purpose of feed
ing the buffalo when winter snow
have covered the grazing pastures
But so rapidly is the park herd
growing that this ranch will soon
provide insufficient food.
This question is now being taken
back to Washington by Edward C.
Finney, first assistant secretary of
the interior. under whose super
vision come the national parks. Mr..
Finney has just ended a tour OF
inspection here, accompanied By
Park Superintendent Horace AL
bright. To show him the growth OF
the herd a "buffalo run" was ar
ranged and in a spectacular stamp
EIDE, more than 500 animals were
driven down from hill and plateau.
There is still another problem.
About 100 young buffalo have
made their appearance this year
and most of them are bulls. Now
bulls are not as popular as COWS
and yet, under the present laws,
they, may not be killed. Further
more park officials already have
almost run out of places to give
them to.
SO the secretary has somewhat
of a "pigs is pigs" problem on his
hands.

elared that public office, resting upon

to supply funds for the bare needs OF

The governor said the direct state
tax. which increased from S75OO00 in
1918 to Sl,7O0,0O0 in 1920, including the
soldiers bonus, is burdensome and pre-
dicted that if all department estimates
were granted this year the tax would
exceed S2.500,OOO in addition to the
county and local taxes which last year
amounted to Sl3.OO0OO0
As a practical proposition, the gov
ernor said. "the limit has been reached.
The people have refused to endorse in
come and direct inheritance taxes and
in consequence new state undertakings
this year and extension of public enter
prises will be impossible. Under the
existing conditions the devise Of the
