an executive budget, of course, any
moro than there is of enforcing the
budget carefully prepared by the pres
cnt budget COMMITTEES, but the notion
of focusing responsibility is rather at
.tractive. fX
So far as his reorganization plan is
concerned, Mr.. Gates says that the
really necessary activities of the state
could he grouped under not over Il
or l3 general departments, such as
finance, public welfare, education, agri-
culture, conservation, etc, with a pos
sibility of holding the number down to
possibly eight departments.
This plan, he explained, would ne
ccssitate the revenues of the state
being all paid into the state treasury,
instead of being paid into various
special funds, and they would also be
disbursed through the same depart
ment. 1t certainly sounds like simpli-
flying things a lot and would undoubt-
edlv make the bookkeeping of the state
simpler and more ineligible to the lay
man.
Incidentally, Mr.. Gates showed by a
set of graphic charts that the total
public expense of the state had grown
over S4G00.G00 a year at this time. Quite
possibly the fact that there are now
1870 separate state activities, depart
ments. commissions or avenues OF an
Iropriations may have something to do
with this condition, !,
Mr.. Barber of Brattleboro attracted
some attention a short time ago by de
~claring that there are now over ~
separate departments and commissions
1t seems he understated it by a eonsld-
cradle margin.
There is Just one suggestion that aoc-
cures to the Herald: Before Mr.. Gates
or any one else spends too much time on
a question of mere reorganization, let

HARD-sURFACE QUEsTI0NNAIRE
To Be Sent Out to Members of Aut0mO-
bile Club of Vermont.

MONTPELIER, Nov. 5.-The direc-
tors Of the Automobile club of Vermont
decided at a conference held Thursday
with the state highway commissioner and
two members of the state highway board
to send out q~uestionnaires to their 1900
members concerning h~ard-surfaced roads.
The directors are understood to favor n
hard-surfaced trunk line state road syS-
tenn. and it is desired to find out how the
expense can be handled.
One suggestion made at the conference
was that automobile license fees be raised.
the amount added to 60 into hard-surfaced
roads another was that the state build
bonded roads at the rate of 81, 100000 a
year for five years. 1t is thought that
the main highways can be covered by
about 800 miles of h~ard-surfaced roads.
Those present at the meeting were

Construction.


The Herald j. very much interested
in the statements made by State Audi
tor BENJAMIN Gates at Yesterday :
- Greater Vermont meeting in regard
to state finances and reorganization. It
is not prepared to endorse without
further consideration his plan for an
executive budget or the extensive re-
organizations he suggests; it merely
says they are extremely interesting
and suggestive.
An executive budget would center the
entire responsibility for the state s
financial program with the governor;
logically. too, it would place upon the
governor the responsibility for carrying
out such program SO far as supervision
in concerned. 1t would c~entralize the
responsibility, which is now divided
through a committee of nine, in one
individual. which is usually an adyan-
taQe.
Whether it would always work in
Vermont is another question. Mr..
Gates made the statement that no liv-
ing person knew Just what the legis-
lature of 1921 had actually an~nroDriated
owing to indefinite appropriations and
| appropriations that are ''no expense to
| the state because of certain special
revenues. such as the automobile fund,
He would therefore provide one place.

preparations were, although he some

NEW YORK, Nov. 5-More violence
marked the fourth day of New York s
milk strike, in which the deadlock
showed no sign of weakening.
From various parts of the city came
police reports of attacks on wagons by
strike sympathizers and the spilling of
milk in the cutters.
The sharpest of these disorders oc-
cured in Brooklyn, where three wagons
leaving the milk station were attacked.
More than a score of shots were fired,
two policemen were injured and nearly
q score of men rounded up for question
ing.
The wagons, each with a policeman on
the driver Is seat, had been sent out to
peddle milk through the Bedford section.
Alleged strike s~ympathizers, taking re-
fuge behind lumber piles, opened fire
with bricks.
The drivers hid under seats. The
policemen, with drawn pistols, stood on
the running boards. They warned that
they would shoot if the barrage of bricks
did not stop.

trenched replied.
Then the shooting began and the crowd
scattered. No one was hit. Soon re-
serves arrived and the attacking party
was rushed. Two men, arrested for

On the lower East side a crowd at

store and hurled nearly 100 bottles

missing some women and children.
Distributors reported more strikers

CHRYSANTHEMUMS
ON EXHIBITION
Each Visitor Given Folder at Hopkins
Store Showing Process of CuItiva-

A handsome display of chrysanthe-
NUNS is on free exhibition today at the
Hopkins flower store on Main street.
Many persons called during the fore
noon and the japanese, Australian and
American specimens were pointed out.
Each visitor was given a folder contain
ing an outline of the process of cultiva-
ton of the plant and a hint on caring
for chrySanthemums and other cut flow
erS.
The exhibit included 81 ~varities of bios
SONS ranging in size from the half-inch
baby yellow to the eight-inch white bios
sons, a bouquet of each variety being ar
ranged attractively in its particular vase
or basket. The bouquets which attracted
the most attention was the Major Bon
alton, which is the most perfect specimen
and which is called the king of chrysan-
themums, and the large white flowers.
Aside from the yellow and white flow
ers there were maize, red. pink and var
iegated blossoms, the full, double and
semi-singIe. Some of the bouquets were
of the variety of fine petals, the blossoms
resembling asters. Some of the early
blooming varieties were shown, but it
was impossible to include many varieties
which do not bloom until nearly Christ
mas time. Nearly 30 kinds and cOlors
of chrysanthemums are grown at the Hop
kinS greenhouses on Western avenue.
