GLORIOUS IN DEFEAT

The Congressional Record Of Nov

It is Illuminating on the subject itself
and especially absorbing to Vermont

ularly the insidious principles under

Greene Of the First district.

defenders and assailants Of the meas

THE REAL GATEWAY
OF VERMONT

We are glad 10 observe that the de-
lay in building the so-ealled Gate
way" road from Rutland westerly "a
New York State has furnished q very
strong argument for bonding the
State for such road improvements as
benefit the whole State 1t is evident
that Rutland expected to get what II
wanted under the pay-as-you-go sys-
TEN. and the Rutland Herald was well
content TO stand pat" and advocate
economy for the rest Of the State.
There ought to be not only gate
way but also a permanent road to
Rutland as well as all the other cities
and large towns Of the State and they
ought to be built at once so that the
present generation will have the ben
eft Of them.
Speaking Of "Gatcways" it seems to
US that the proposed gateway is kind
Of a back entrance or "slde-door.
There are a number of gateways to
Vermont and the most important IS
that in the south end Of Bennington
county through which people come IN
Ia Vermont from New York, Massa-
cbusetts and Connecticut. This gate
way brings people into Vermont at its
southern extremity instead Of requir-
ing them to go half the length Of the
state Of Vermont through New York
State before they come to the pro
posed "side-door.'
Our idea is 10 give people coming to
Vermont a good permanent trunk line
from the real gateway in Bennington
county through the entire length OF
The state, and also the same kind Of a
trunk line on the east side Of the
State. This should be the beginning
II a system to be extended as fast as
possible to include cross lines and
,taer branches where the traffic war
ants.
It is all right to have a gateway
nto Canada, and to have it soon, as
ye an expect to cross the line sooner
,r later. and as often as possible, but
Why not have all our gateways made
,tt-actiye and at an early date?

ways working out in perfectly logical
and grammatical sequence, Was never
displayed more strikingly than In this
speech. He summoned historical, in
GLIDING Biblical, support drew from
the well u familiar literature: spiced

backed il up with plain common sense.

and the sturdy self-reliance Of her
women which. FOR a well-balanced for

So gratifying was It's reception that

used by the Record with reference 10
any other speaker among the many
able ones Of the afternoon. All this,
too, although the House was known to
be strongly in favor Of the bill, which
passed later by a large majority, due
as many believe, to the desire Of Con-
gressmeu 10 curry favor with women
voters, TO an active propaganda work
ed by interests and agencies, and to
misunderstanding indifference ana ig-
norance Of the public concerning the
measure and the theories il violates.
Mr.. Greene's objection was not more
to the bin itself than to the growing
spirit Of paternalism in government;
the Capitalization in Washington Of
another federal activity, needless bat
expensive, which takes from the
people in their natural organizations
Of communities or states, either with
or without their consent the doing Of
things which they should do and
would do for themselves, and does
them according to bureaucratic ideas
and methods; which also takes from
the states that are thrifty and well-to-
do and gives to states that are not
large sums Of money levied through
taxation; and which tends constantly
to strengthen and extent a vast gov
ernmental machine at the real expense
Of society-in a word, the growth Of
paternaliam and the weakening Of in
dividuality.
All honor to the handful Of Greenes
who have the strength and courage to
stand out against every proposition Of
of this kind, whatever its guise or pur-
pose, to the end that the nation may
be restored to the ideals Of the faith
