During the period of rising prices it
was popular pastime to figure the dim

pendulum has swung the other way and
while the dollar may never reach its
pre-war power, it is in fair way to

as it is said that 60 cents today has the
purchasing power of 81 q. year-ago

The MeddLer
eff the coat fits you. put it on"

Just what the listers mean by their
expressed determination to require all
merchants, manufacturers and trades
men to file detailed tax inventories The
Meddler does not know, and it certainly
isn't within his province to tell them
how to perform their duties. In rela-
ton to any proposed change in property
however. it should be remem-
bered that local conditions are not the
only ones to be considered. The state
tax is a factor that enters largely into
the situation, and as has been pointed
out in this column so many times, Brat
tleboro already is paying a state tax of
such a size as to give good ground for
believing that its property valuation,
low as it may be, is really on a consid
erably higher basis than most of the
towns in Vermont. There is no doubt
in The Meddler's mind that "a number
of towns in this state follow a deliberate
policy of low valuations and high tax
rates for the express purpose of keeping
the amount of their state tax down, and
if that is really a fact the local listers
ought at least to do some investigating
before they adopt any valuation scheme
which makes this towns contribution t,
the state treasury more out of proportion
than it already is.

Residents of the village doubtless will
be glad TO know that the failure of the
fire alarm system to function early Tues
day morning was due TO no serious ''or-
ganic" trouble but to the combination of
a corroded switch and an inexperienced
bell-ringer. The switch was at the Es-
tey Organ plant and prevented the whis-
tie from blowing. The bell-ringer was
somebody who left the bell in the Bap-
fist steeple tied in such a position that
the hammer of the alarm system could
not connect with it,

The Meddler believes the village COM
missioners did wise thing in making
Bullock and Whipple streets one-way
thoroughfares. The regulation may
cause inconvenience to few motorists
but it is decidedly in the interest of
safety for the many who drive up and
down Green and High streets, especially
the former. That serious accidents have
not occurred at the corner of Green and
Whipple streets is due more to good for
tune than anything else. The view at
that point is INSTRUCTED, the streets are
narrow and the corner decidedly sharp
With traffic limited to that going north
persons driving up Green street may feel
practically certain that they can go by
Whipple street in safety, while the fact
that Bullock street is to be limited to
traffic in the other direction ought to
make motorists especially careful to
guard against trouble at the corner of
that street and Green.

The transfer of the so-called o. J.
Pratt lot on High street to f. S. Hall
gives strong grounds for belief that a
desirable piece of property which has
lain idle great many years will be de-
veloped in manner to add appreciably
to the appearance of the neighborhood and
at the same time contribute to the relief
of the local housing shortage. Mr.. Hall
has built a large number of houses in
Brattleboro and practically all of them
have been of attractive design. If, as
has been intimated. it is his intention
TO erect an eight-apartment house on a
portion of the land there is no doubt
that it will be a structure combining

BOTH WORKSHOP AND HOME.

"The barn will build the home" This
Is the reason most often given for the
construction of a modern structure for
the shelter of the live stock, while the
farmer and his family continue to
dwell In cramped quarters. 1t is true
that largely through the care of live
stock the farmer prospers The barn
is his workshop, his factory. But too
often he continues to put more money
into the business, into machinery,
land, live stock, while the construc-
tion of a house is indefinitely post
poned. There is no reason why farm
life should not he so comfortable and
enjoyable as city life. Modern improve
ments have seen to that. But in many
cases it is not. The home becomes
merely shelter, resting place for
the farmer when he is not working. A
good many forget that the home is
the workshop of the farm wife, says
Kansas Industrialist. Why should it
not be as modern and efficiently
equipped as that of the farmer? But
more important than the workshop
idea Is the fact that it is home. And
a home should be something more than
house; it should be homelike. More
real farm homes will tend to agricul-
tural stability and genuine prosperity
