State Roads and Bonds.
Rntland HeraId.l


\ correspondent of the Burlington
Free Press spoils lot of valuable space
advocating state bond issue for the
building of hard-surfaced trunk-Iine
roads.
To those who have followed the ms and
outs of highway progress for the past 20
years, this ingenious suggestion will cause
a battery of smiles.
Until Vermont develops type of road
that viii stand up under heavy traffic II
months in the year and that viii cost
around $4,000 a mile. instead of $4,000
proposed. there is about as much chance
of bonding the state as there is of mort
gaging the state house.
The correspondent cites some good
roads in northern New York and con
'demns parallel and connecting roads in
Vermont. The same thing may be said
of New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
yet we have the testimony of credible and
conservative drivers that Vermont roads
average better on the whole than those in
any other of these three states.
New Hampshire. for example. is prac-
tically broke so far as permanent roads
go. Her hardsurfaced roads. many of
them experimental in type. have broken
down under traffic and the state is faced
with an expenditure for rebuilding prac-
tically as large as the original bond issues
Massachusetts and New York are
much richer states than Vermont. They
can afford to spend more money, but
when one gets to the bottom of the facts
about their stone roads, the actual cost of
maintenance OF. renewal runs into start
ling figures
Vermont can, of course, borrow all the
money she needs. and she can afford to
do it when she knows what she is going
to get in return for it, but the problem at
present is not to get more money to
spend but to spend what we have and get
results with it,
If we can't spend a million to good ad
vantage what chance have we to spend
ten millions and know~that we are getting
value for what we pay out?

pany, is of course beyond determination,
but we are privileged to one conclusion.
Edgar Allan Poe, despite his I'M
doubted genius, was hardly an admir-
able figure of a man. and he knew it only
too well. His abilities, naturally, were
his heritage from his parents and theirs.
1t is easy to blame his shortcomings to
his English mothers early death.
An appropriate monument to Eliza
beth Arnold Poe will be a graceful tribute
to the son she bore. Her grave. a pau

has been unmarked too long. The cree
ton and dedication of a suitable memoir
ial cannot but direct deserved attention
to the first American to compel the ap-
plause and command the enduring re-
Spect of literary Europe 49,.

The Way Out for Vermont.
(St. Albans Messenger.

State papers are criticizing the increase
in state expenses and the resulting in
crease of the tax burden. 1t is a juSti-
fable complaint, but it is negative i'm its
nature. After all is said and done, the
way out for the state of Vermont is to
follow the Hartness doctrine that what is
needed is action which will create new
values and thereby make available in
creased tax resources. Some day the state
will elect legislature which will devote
itself to this constructive effort. and no
better work could 'be done by the state
press than to foster the idea. Eliminate
all personalities from the movement /;
make it a state endeavor. The people
have shown that they are for it. Next
is required a legislature big enough to
drop petty wranglings and broad enough
to go after big things for the state instead
of after scalps of individuals.

A TROUBLEsOME ISSUE.

America has bigger stake in the
pending negotiations between Great Brit
ain and Ireland than it usually has in
foreign affairs. 1t might be said that the
settlement now sought is of Importance
first to ireland, second to England and
third to the United States. The reason
for this excessive interest is found in
the extent to which the Irish question has
been made also an American question by
intruding propagandists. Leaders of
every faction in Ireland and England
have appealed to American sentiment.
The Sim Fein leaders have gone further
than any of the others, making a siren
Uous drive to compel the active support
of the United States government.
The Irish question, as every well in
formed citizen knows, played a notable
part in the last national election. 1t has
also played considerable role in state
and municipal elections lately. There is
no prospect of this troublesome foreign
issue being eliminated from American pol
tiles until it is eliminated from British
politics.
The American public, therefore, has
good reason. quite aside from its tradi-
tional sympathy with Irish aspirations.
to hope that the present effort will end
the long feud. Americans have plenty of
important domestic issues awaiting set
tlement, and would like nothing better
than to have all troublesome foreign
complications Strengthened out so that
they could attend to their own business
