PRESS COMMENT

INV ~ l>StlN
ished statement of Ex-Governor
Allen M Fletcher in regard to state
expenses, the Bennington Banner,
whose editor is a legislative vet
eran, says:
Durino the last twenty years we
can remember seeing and hearing
a good many groups of lobbyists
at the state-house demanding or
beseeching generous expenditure
of state money for some public or
semi-public cause, but we do not
remember ever seeing party of
citizens there urging the limitation
of expenses and extravaganza.
That is perfectly true. The tax
payer is at home, attending to his
business and trusting perhaps too
fondly and implicitly to the men
at Montpelier.
The uplifter is there; he hasn't
anything else to do.
The special interests are there;
they pay good men to represent
them.
The multiple and multiplying
state departments are there; it's
their business to bleed the treas
ury for all it will Standard mole.
The hundred and one petty
piece-mealers who "want the state
to help them out" are all there;
they attend to it.
On the other hand, the Governor
is there; but he can only veto
scattering items and make i
stick" EE1
The board of control and the
budget committee are there; but
the legislators refuse to be bound
by their recommendations.
The committees on ways and
means, appropriations and finance
are there and sound warning from
time to time; but the members
override or ignore them.
Whose business is it to stop
wasting the peoples money?
Everyone's business and no ones
business unless we happen to nave
men in either House or in the Gov
ernor's chair who will "stand up
to the hack" and at least throw
their weight on the side of re-
trenchment.
1t may be that the taxpayers of
the state should form league and
maintain a lobby in Montpelier,
but surely there are honest men IN

EDITORIAL

Z The use made of advertising
sduring the war has revolutionized
tthe ideas of business men on the
Subject of publicity.
( Before the Liberty loan drives
Financial authorities said it would
sbe impossible to raise more than
$500,000,000 for government loans
Through popular subscription.
IBut as the result Of a campaign of
Thorough publicity, the astonish-
Ing sum Of nearly S7,000,000,000
avas raised on one Of the drives,
hnd $3,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,-
300 on the others.
! Solicitation from house to house
Contributed largely to this result
but the solicitors could never have
done much without advertising.
The solicitor did not often per-
fuade a prospect to raise his SUB
Ecliption. The work had been by
advertising. :
i The loan campaigns were help
fd by patriotic feeling. But they
Were greatly impeded by the I'M
ending calls for money, and the
public WEAKNESS with drives. Peo-
pile knew they were making sac
tifice when they subscribed as the
government paid only A Ia per
gent interest, while they could
buy bonds on the market paying
Blk or seven per cent.
\ Against all obstacles the cam
baign of liberty loans advertising
made its way, and it turned up
kide down the previous notions Of

SUNNY SQUIBLETS

Congress vii periodically follow
the leadership of President Hard
ing provided he comes across
with the jobs.
While it usually takes two fools
to make an automobile accident,
there are enough of them on the
road so that they frequently get
together.
At the coming disarmament con-
ference, it is expected each power
will agree to disarm provided all
the other powers disarm first.
If some people would only use
judgment in selecting wife
they do in buying an automobile,
the divorce courts would have less
to do.
Many husbands are staying at
home more than formerly, as it
requires close personal attention
to distill hootch.
Now that oil has been struck IN
Alaska, our government will prob
ably feel that the people of that
forsaken territory are entitled TO
better treatment.
These people who can't drive an
automobile unless they get several
drinks in, will be complaining be-
fore long that the turnkey doesn't
even rive 'em ice in their water
pitcher.

er's ink could accomplish what had
seemed impossible.
Business men began to think
about all this. "If the government
can get such amazing results
a merchant would say, "Why can't
| get theip in my business" And
lot of them completely revised
their ideas about advertising and
started in with greatly increased
appropriations. They don't regret
it now. The results appear in the
figures recently quoted, showing
that American business men are
spending three times as much on
national publicity as they were in
1910, and no doubt similarly in
creased figure on local advertising.

Do Men Need Keepers?

"Station Conditions Disgracful,"
says a headline in a Troy PAPER
Reading the articles one finds it
refers to police stations in Troy
but the same might be said of pub
lie stations Of most varieties and
particularly to railroad stations.
The male of the human race is
a disorderly animal
When he gets from the street

sister or sweetheart re begins to
throw things around and seems to
take no pride in keeping his sur
roundings in order.
1t sometimes seems as though
he takes pleasure in making the
place as untidy as possible if 1t
belongs to somebody else and par
ticularly if it is the property of a
corporation of the public.
The writer has seen men of ma
ture years and no appearance OF
criminal imbecility scratch matches
on the beautiful marble columns in

to keep the careless men from

: Judge Seneca Haselton -
The death of Seneca Hazelton ,
marks the passing of keen jurist |
distinguished scholar and some
thing of an expert in international
law. Judge Hazelton, although
more or less a recluse in recent |
years on account of his health, was
a great lover of Vermont and
passed many months of his later
yeas at the Summit House, Mount |
Mansfield. Visitors will mark and
regret the absence of perhaps the /
original mountain enthusiast, just !
as men in other walks of life will
feel a distinct loss in his taking

The Freight Rate Question
Wherever and whenever any i
group of business men engages in
a discussion of business conditions
the discussion invariably comes
around to a consideration of rail +,
road freight rates and the outlook
for a reduction in rates. There is
a considerable proportion of the
business men of the country who
believe that lower freight rates are
essential to a real improvement in
business, although this idea is ac-
lively disputed by others. There
appear to be few, however, who
dissent from the general PROPOSE
ton that there must eventually be
a reduction in freight rates from
their present level, although opin-
ions differ as to when it will be
possible to make such reductions.
