Several Vermont posts of the American

pointment of Capt. II. T. Sheldon as fish
and game commissioner Captain Sheldon
madc a highly creditable record in the
great war and the statement Is freely
made around the state house that he would
have been confirmed had not his name
come in at the same time with The proposal
to name a New Hampshire man as state
highway commissioner. Just what CON
nection there is between the two is not
clear. The hunters and fishermen of the

Near a Revolt.
(Holyoke Transcript


Little old Vermont is close TO the rev
olutlon point in the matter of taxation.
Vermont has n board of control which is
close relative to budget and finance
boards in other states.
Now the board of control has not only
advised the reduction by 80 per cent of
all the highway appropriations in that
state, but has urged. as well, the re-
peal of all laws that are paternalistic
in their nature" such as those pertaining
to forestry, agricultural fairs. boards of
examiners and regulation, ASSOCIATIONS
that promote the special interests of
dairy. horticultural, maple sugar, poul-
try producers, experiment stations. fire
mems relief fund, geologist. free pub
lie library, investigation of water re-
sources, teachers retirement fund top
ographic surveys and many functions of
the agricultural department like bovine
tuberculosis, market agencies creamery
inspection, COW testing associations and
dairy manufacturing specialists. 1t Is
added that there might be included in
this class the appropriations made to in
stitutions of higher learning which are
not a part of the public school system.
Vermont is not likely to do all those
things at once, but it demonstrates that
thoughtful men are getting tired of the
fadS and fancies era in government as
well as in other lines.

Running Amuck.
(Rutland Herald.)

When strong Rartisans set out to re-
dress a grievance, they are apt to 60 far.
and when they. happen to be legislators
with a House-full of colleagues set and
waiting to be touched off with sympathy
and indignation, the temptation to 20
too far is well-nigh irresistible.
Natural indignation at the silly at
tacks of Henry Ford on the Jewish peo-
pie have led an assemblyman of the
New York legislature to introduce Il
bill which designates as libel any
writing, printing, picture, effigy, sign, =
which exposes, not only persons, living
or dead. but those belonging to any
race, religious denomination, sect or or
DER, TO hatred, contempt, ridicule or
obloquy."
This, as the New York Tribune points
out, would subject to penalty a newspa-
per which condemned the sect of the
Assassins or the Noodoo devotees
which pOked fun at the Holy Rollers or
ganlzation> which sought immunity
would have to do would be to organize
as a religious sect, whether composed of
anarchists, Bolshevists or enemy al
lens
Such bill probably will not pass,
and if it did pass it would not stand
the test of the courts. No one would say
that an editor who condemned NoodOo
or the mad Mullah should go to Jail. but
the idea of running amuck is not con-
lined TO New York or the advoc"+~7 of
the bill aforesaid.
Because certain candidates for GOV

women. the legislature is asked TO dis
franchise the women
Because Mr.. Haitness spent a large

posed to limit a citizens right to print
