The Roads Referendum,
{ Burlington News. }

The charge has been made that the road
referendum which was started by the
Greater Vermont association. in an at
tempt TO find out the sentiment all over
the state with regard to the matter of
highway policies that there was little. if
any interest on the part of the public
on the question. What interest there was.
it has been alleged. has been more or less
Ipasive and shown in the main by motor
lists. But that these allegations were un-
true is evidenced by the number of replies
to the referendum which were received in
one day alone ut the Offices of the Greater
Vermont association. Ten organizations
from as many different towns in the state
replied on February /. The organizations
were as follows: Waterbury Board of
Trade. Bennington Board of Trade. South
RoyaltOn Board of Trade. Brattleboro
Chamber of Commerce. Lamoille County
Farm Bureau association. Addison County
Farm Bureau association. Swanton Board
of Trade, Bethel Board of Trade. West
minister Mems club. and the Middlebury
Board of Trade. Is this not sufficient
answer to the charge that there is little
interest being shown throughout Yer
mOntE We believe it is and also believe
the referendum idea is excellent and
ought to do much toward eventually get
ting those policies for better state high
ways and state roads which will mean a
better Vermont.

"If the coat fits you, put it on"

The appointment of Frank d. f. Stowe
to the Brattleboro municipal judgeShip
came as a surprise to a good many PEG
pie. including some lawyers, in this To-
cality. Comparatively few knew that he
was candidate for the position and not
many of those had an idea that his
chances were very good. 1t can be said
without danger of contradiction, how
ever. that Judge Stoves appointment
meets with general approval, at least
among law abiding citizens, and there
is widespread belief that his administra-
tion of Justice will be marked by zeal,
efficiency and fairness. There is one
thing that can be said about Frank
Stowe-and it is said without reflection
upon any of his predecessors in office.

than they are entitled to; yet on the
other hand. he is convinced that every
one who comes into Judge Stoves tri-
bunal will get a square deal.
In addition to the fact that he is n
resident of this town Judge Stowe will
be able to handle court matters more eX-
peditiously than his predecessor by rea-
son of the fact that he does not share
Judge Cudworth's views as to the juris-
diction of the state ON liquor law en-
forcement actions Nobody questions
the sincerity of Judge Cudworths belief
that as municipal judge he had no au-
thority to hear eases coming under the
Volstead enforcement act, but his atti-
tude, nevertheless, was frequently a
source of inconvenience to local prose
cutting officers.

w. I'll am looking for some
financial advice in regard to the
stocks listed below. I am tndeter-
mined what to buy.
I have found your advice to be
accurate and, therefore. want you
to help me in deciding on the fol-
lowing stocks: Anerican Weolen
Chandler. Studebaker. HUpp, Balti-
more 4 Ohis preferred. Kansas City
Southern preferred. Middle states
OIL, Pennsylvania. Central Leather
and Cuban American Sugar.
am in position to invest several
thousand dollars and, naturally.
want securities that are going to
sell higher in the future.
Answer-We can't attempt to make
money for you In stock speculation.
1t is impossible for anyone TO know
what these or any other stocks will
sell for tomorrow or next week or
next year.
The rails are now very much in the
shadow, and on the surface Of things
the shares Of the popular carriers do
not appeal strongly to spectators.
Still, we are inclined to think that
the rails will come out all right in
the end. and that such stock as BaIti-
more 4 Ohio preferred, Kansas City
Southern preferred and PennsyIvania
will pay well for their keep.
Many think the motors have passed
through the worst and are headed for
better things II this is so. Chandler
and Studebaker. in the first motor
class, should do well. Also Hupp.
Cuban American Sugar. yielding
almost 10 per cent. is a stock that Is
very difficult properly to size up.
Central Leather Is not promising but
good many spectators seem to
think that Middle States OIL still has
good prospects,.
Undoubtedly you would be safer in
buying bonds or the best class pre-
ferred industrials.
