THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The Republican nominees for Office
went on record for economy at their
convention in Burlington Tuesday, not
only in preachment but in practice. They
even went so far as to be economical
in the use of words-an unusual pro-
ceeding in a political convention of any
party. No more than 200 were used in
the construction of the platform, and
while document of that length must be
something of generality, the one
adopted at Burlington covers good
deal of ground.
1t contains definite proposal to re-
wise and limit the powers of the board of
control, or abolish it. 1t also favors the
adjustment of unnecessary boards and
commissions" but doesn't say which the
unnecessary ones are. 1t proposes to
cut, or if possible eliminate, the state
tax; endorses the adoption of the execu-
tive budget plan along the lines advo-
Gated by State Auditor Gates previous
to the last legislative session, and pledge
the members to prepare for the work of
the legislature before it meets.
The platform also comes out for re-
vision of taxes on motor vehicles and a
gasoline Interpretations that will meet
with plenty of opposition before they
become laws; revision of the public
service commission laws so that public
utilities may be effectively controlled
and regulation of lobbying.
Possibly the most important plank II
the platform is that which resolves to
Restore to towns administration o.
local affairs, and oppose Capitalization
and paternalism.
AS the Rutland Herald well says:
This plank, if honestly adopted ant
adhered to- would work remedy TO
most of Vermont's ills of government
1t is of a particularly far-reaching char
acter If ID. is made the slogan of tn
next legislature it will mark d mileston

attraction for the easy mark, who fire.
ouently can't afford to lose the money.
Lately the police of Washington, ID.
G. have been renewing activities against
n horde of book makers who are reap
ing fat profits from a gullible public.
The gambling games these men conduct
are worked out on "sure-thing" basis,
so that the bettor stands to lose pretty
steadily. Even when an occasional dupe
appears to win, the bookmaker has pro-
yided himself with various loopholes and
technicalities whereby he can avoid pay
ing the winner.
The Washington Herald urges the po-
lice department on to further effort, but
adds in the same article wall of des-
pair. All efforts against the profes'
sional gambler and faker are in vain sc
long as a large group of people still re-
spond to the lure of sudden, unearned
wealth. If somehow they could ibe con
WINGED that they are fools and dupes
and quite the opposite of good sports

in the proper mental attitude to use
their money wisely, invest it soundly
and have something to show for honest
effort.

A USEFUL BUREAU.

The educational experiment tried out
by Norwich university in the establish
ment of bureau of municipal affairs
last year has ceased to be an expert
ment. having demonstrated the reason
for its being and having proved it's worth
to the general public.
The bureau was established in Novem-
Der. 1921, with the primary purpose of
rendering service to the communities of
Vermont by:
l. Giving information upon request
regarding community Organiza-
ton. town planning. and the ad.
ADMINISTRATION of local government
.. Publishing bulletins dealing with
problems of government which
are of current interest and dis
tributing them to municipal Off
GERS, civic organizations, and Ii
braries.
3. Encouraging the establishment of
local town reference bureaus.
4. Providing communities with
speakers on governmental topics.
s. Holding local government confer
ence
The bureau is conducted and operated
under the supervision of Professor X
r. B. Flint of the department of politi
cal science, who is well-known as an au
thority in all matters covered by the ac
tivities of the bureau.
Since it was established n number o.
local municipal reference bureaus hav,
affiliated themselves and been established
| in the public libraries of Vermont.
large number of calls for assistance il

been css.,iyed from villages aud munici
/ Dalitics in Nler,nobi and ese@ fsse, en-.
the bureau has been able to supply tn
needed information.
Professor Flint as director of the bu
reau has spoken on various phases o
municipal government in dozen or NOR
Vermont communities and has bee
called as an expert on such matters int
Massachusetts, New York and Ne,
Hampshire. A second edition of his bul
letin on Town Planning has been pub
lished and has been distributed to tn
municipalities within the state. TIL
first edition was exhausted some tim
ago, calls for it coming from as ia
afield as Australia. The bureau seems
fill long-felt want, and has proved
worthwhile extension of educationt

KURN' HATTIN NOTES.
Connecticut Valley Orchard Co. Offers to
Give Apples-Royal Arch Chapter
Contributes $500.

The New England Kurn Hattin
Homes, the publication of the Kurn Hat
tin Homes in Westminster and Sax
tons River, contains in it's current issue
the following notes of interest to the
many friends of the homes:
The Connecticut Valley Orchard Co
is near neighbor of the Kurn Hattin
Home at Westminster, and its fine or
chards are in plain view from orr
grounds. The proprietor, George A.
Dascomb who is member of the Kurn
Hattin corporation, has generously Of
fered to donate apples to the Home this
season as far as his production will war
rant, both for eating and cooking. He
says he would like to meet fully our ac-
tual needs and would like to have the
boys eat of them bountifully without
wasting any part of the apples. We
guess he will find that the boys have
good appetites.
The Royal Arch Chapter of Vermont
has recently sent to Treasurer Il. l..
Walker a check for $500 to be used for
some special purpose for the Homes.
Mr.. Walker applied about $3.50 of il to
the payment of the bill for the new pipe
which was laid at the Warner Memorial
Home from the spring to the house. The
rest of 1t has been set aside as a fund
to meet special expenses in the treasur-
ers office, postage, stationery, revenue
stamps, account books. etc, which are
always being needed. often when funds
are not in hand to pay for them"
