ROAD ARGUMENT AGAIN

The Bennington Banner comes out
In opposition to building 5000 miles of
hard surface roads and also for bond
ing to build even 500 miles of such
roads.
The Journal and most other advo-
Gates Of hard surface trunk lines do
not expect that the state will start in
on O fixed program of building all the
roads of permanent construction, or
that it will issue bonds for even 500
miles Of hard surface roads at one
time. They do advocate beginning
in the construction Of trunk lines of
cement or other near permanent pat
tern.
That a gravel surface will not stand
the traffic on most OF our trunk lines
has been demonstrated. Cement roads
will soon be necessity on such lines
and it is full time that this state APP
preciated the fact.
The Banner does advocate the build
ing OF cement roads by cities, villages
and prosperous towns This means a
continuation Of the patchwork policy
OF the past which has been out Of date
for many years. BY the Shades OF
Stod Bates, is it not yet recognized
that we need state built and state
maintained trunk lines ?-Manchester
Journal.
1t is a good thing to have this ques-
ton argued and it is always well to
have disagreement, for 1t is by pre-
senting of various and varying opin-
ions that the citizens and taxpayers
become educated to better under,
standing. There is no other way 50
effective in getting at the facts.
The question. as The Banner sees
II, is not what we want but what we
can buy and pay for. The Journal
and The Banner could probably agree
pretty we'll what Bennington county
would like in the way Of roads but
such a system of roads would cost
from twenty to thirty times the grand
list of the county. The interest alone
on such a debt would cost tax OF
dollar on a dollar OF the grand list
year after year without paying one
penny OF the principal
The Banner does not believe in put
ting any such burden on the people
OF Bennington county. and it does not
believe the Journal would after think
ing it over. If the state should dc
it, the burden would be the same. We
merely instanced the county as deal
ing in smaller figures.

ings departments of the national
banks of Vermont there is something
over one hundred millions of dollars.
This is vast sum, more we believe,
per capita, than the savings deposits
of any other state in the union save
one, but all fit is not sufficient to
put hard surface on the 1000 miles

still leave over eight thousand other
miles of Vermont highway crying for
improvement. We fear that the adj
yocates of hard surface trunk line

down calmly to consider the cost
OF the 1000 miles of selected high
ways 1t would probably be possible
to pick out 1000 or 1900 miles which
could fairly be considered to include
the major highways. or trunk lines.
A system including this 1000 or 1900
miles would not, however touch over
half the towns in the state. The
other half might be more or less bene-

QUEER polNas IN GERMANY.

There Is curious campaign going
on in Germany. 1t appears that a
Union of Friends of Calcium has been
formed, the extraordinary object of
which is to see that the German is
compelled to use more lime in his
dietary. The Germans. convinced that
mineral salts, of which they were de-
prived during the war, can restore en-.
ergy to the race-though why they
should, no one exactly seems 10 know
--have become the victims of clever
propaganda in which the commercial
interests are not by any means behind
hand, says Christian Science Monitor.
The country, in fact, is being flooded
with mineral waters and proprietary
salt mixtures, to supply the lacking
calcium which, according TO popular
theory, is all that is necessary to place
Germany at the intellectual. and con-
mercial head of the nations again! A
big run on chalk cliffs, and their list
ing on the Berlin bourse, may be the
next logical steps in this very illogical
obsession OF the Timed" suprrman.

The plant Of Prof. William B. Scott
Of Princeton university, that the
Northern races who depend upon coal
for winter warmth must migrate to the
tropics in a thousand years lest they
freeze, scdrcely justifies worry. Ac-

doeful prophecy will not be pertinent
for some 5000 years. BY that time,
doubtless, the electrical age will have
arrived and winds and waves will
warm us. Presumipg that our indus
tries and winter furnaces consume
500,000,000 tons Of coal annually fot

The word itself comes from the
Algonquin missi-sepe which
means great river" 1t is popu-
larry supposed to mean Father
of the Waters" but this interpre-
tation is incorrect. Tie state is
also known as the Bayou State
from the many bayous which are
formed by the shifting river, In
this connection it is interesting
to note the uneven course of the
Mississippi river. Though the
extreme length OF the state from
the Gulf to Tennessee is $50
miles, the western border, due
to the winding of the Mississippi
river extends for nearly 500
miles. $3.50
The rivers play an important
part in this state. They are SO
numerous and the country so
subject to Hood shat the river
bottoms cover nearly one fifth
Of the area Of the entire state.
The early history of Mlssis-
sippi is yoked up with that of
Louisiana of which it originally
formed a part. Discovered by
De Soto in 1889, 1t was not until
La Sale sailed down the river
and claimed this territory which
he named in honor Of his French
king, Louis XIV, that a perma-
nent settlement was established.
In 1868 the territory east of
the mississippi was coded by the
French to the English. For a
while the lower portion of the
present state was called West
Florida. After being captured
by the Spanish and later re-
turned TO the United States, the
Territory of Mississippi was ex-
tended to its present size of 49,
500 square miles and in 1917 1t
was admitted as the twentieth
state Of the Union. st the time
Of the Mexican war. although
