Mr.. Hindley On
State Expenses
CONTINUED from Page IL

Even the senate was not entirely
popular government as the coun-
ties with the largest population
only had four senators against one
from little Essex and Grand Isle.
The speaker predicted that the
agricultural "bloc" whic now
exists in Washington would be re-
peated in the next Legislature and
that aleady two farmer were prom
incntly mentioned for governor.
Mr.. Hindley said the state must
stop raising so much money, es-
pccialy on highways and called
attention TIC the fact that while
the state treasurer reported sun
plus Of over million dollars the
interest account amounted TO
$250,0G0. The speaker then dis
cussed somewhat at lengt.l the
road question. Touching upon the
gravel roads, so prevalent in Yer
mont, he said some Of these pro-
iects were costing $4,000 q mile.
The state had a few miles OF hard
surfaced roads and the one be-
tween Barre and Montpelier cost
81 200 a year for its maintenance.
A cement road would cost $35,
000 mile and the proposal to
bond the state for cement roads
even for only 500 miles would

mean bond issue of at least
$15,000,000.
Speaking of conditions in St
Johnsbury Mr.. Hindlev said he
had been delighted to visit the
Museum and Athenaeum and that
our town hsd the community up
lift idea and that they were inter
ested in the good, the beautiful
and the true as well as in making
money.
Mr.. Hindley devoted some time
to the discussion of the education
al problems of the state. calling
attention 10 the fact that Vermont
stood SD in illiteracy and 10th in
the salary paid it's teachers. He
spoke particularly of the cond-
tons of our rural schools, giving
some startling examples of living
conditions in some of the back
towns and the reason whv teacn-
ers who were well paid would not
and could not stav in some rural
communities.
State Auditor Gates has sug-
gested that the Governor ought to
be responsible for the budget and
submit it to the incoming legisla-
turea long with his inaugural mes
sac. With 100 different activities
the auditor also had plan to
consolidate these activities, as far
as bookkeeping was concerned. in
the interests of efficiency. The
speaker said what the voters ought
to do was to do a little more lop-
ping and a little less stopping.
1t was high time to make a cut
and it should be a horizontal one.
The various organizations that are
now getting appropriations from
the state treasury should support
themselves and not try to get up
to the pie counter.
In closing he said that expenses
which would soon mean a dollar
state tax and perhaps even more
could be reduced if the people adj
opted a resolution at the next
town meeting instructing their
representatives at the next legisla-
tnre to stand for retrencnment all
along the line. He urged the form
ing in every town in the state of a
tax payers league to study the
management Of state affairs and
To keep informed on the best
means of solving the problems of
the commonwealth.
Mr.. Hindley interspersed his adj
dress with lot of good stories,
spoke in q delightfully."- informal yet
convincing manner and was heart
lily applauded at the close.
