A Gasoline Tax for Vermont People.
BENNINGTON Banner)

If Vermont automobile owners
really insist on spending more money
for roads they can do it without also
placing the burden heavily on 9TH
er people. A penny gallon tax on
gasoline, it is estimated, would raise
$250,000 year. Two cents gallon
would make the amount half million
dollars a year. The addition of a
two-cent tax on gasoline to the pres
ent automobile taxes would cost aver
age motor car owners from SIS to SIS
above what they pay now. Under
present income conditions the state is
spending about two millions a year
for roads. Possibly one-half of this
could be used for hard surface roads
or enduring construction of some sort.
Add to this half million dollars from
the gasoline tax of two cents per gal
lon and Vermont would be able to
build 500 miles of cement roads in
ten or IL years which is about as fast
as it could be done by bonding, plac-
ing a few millions at time and
then repeating the process. The beau
tv of the pay-as-you-go plan too, is
that when the job is done it is paid
for while bonding means paying ev-
cry dollar twice, once in principal and
again in interest.

The state Department of Agricul-
ture announces that it has condemn
ed 1000 pounds of pork, (six or eight
average hogs) during the past six
months because the meat was infect
ed with tuberculosis. Since hogs con-
sumo great quantities of milk. much
of which must come from tubercular
cows if we are as badly off in the
state as we are led to believe, it is
not a very high rate of Infection.
In the same connection we read that
one of the specialists of the depart
ment made 5000 examinations Of
milk to locate the source OF certain
bacteria and was SO precise as to
finally trace the source to one-Quar-
ter of the udder of a certain cow.
To a lavman it would seem that if
disease bacteria can be traced SO &C
curately, and if tubercular germs
are transmitted to the human being,
or animals, consuming the milk, then
why not locate the tubercular germ
in the milk. If it is not in the milk
how can it be transmitted to the con-
sumner of the milk ?Again could not
bovine tuberculosis be located in
some such manner as it is located in
the human body, by sputum test, or
by some secretion or blood test, with
out injecting the tubercular virus. in
to perfectly healthy COWS? This re-
peated injection of the tuberculin in
to the blood of animals is the princi-
pal objection to the test, because
many believe this repeated inocula
ton brings on the disease itself. A
1ayman often gets foolish ideas and
this may be one of the most insane
and foolish of notions, but is sounds
reasonable.

He, who has Travelled thru Vermont
And seen her mighty works of Cod
Her mountains, wales, her lakes and
streams
viii long her scenery applaud,
And when away in foreign cline,
In Piedmont vale or Alpine haunt,
Will know the glories Europe boasts
Are all eclipsed in old Vermont
I've travelled far by land and sea,
Where natures beauties are displayed
And pictures now l have in mind
From memory will never fade;
But fairer far than all the rest
In spite of what the world may vaunt
Are scenes on which in silent awe
I've stood and gazed in Old Vermont.
Her women are the best on earth,
Her men, the very best of men,
To fifty praise the grand old state
Is far beyond my feeble pen;
But believe it and declare
And nought shall my conviction
daunt
That Eden, where old Adam dwelt,
Was but part of Old Vermont.

A man of prominence in this coun-
ty, but man who has never entered
politics and for that reason cannot
be accused of great bias, recently
called attention to the stripping of
this whole section of Vermont of Of
flee by Governor Hardness. He took
off Bates head Ga Derby mani, and
let the mantle of the Office fall in
Burlington. When Morse of Hard
wick resigned as tax commissioner
the favor went to Montpelier. When
Brooks of st. Johnsbury resigned
from the board of education, Dor
set woman was named. When
Thompson of Barton, with the unan-
.innous support of the bar from this
rart. of the state, went after the
judgship, a down the-state man was
appointed. We are one of the last
TO say that geography should be a
determining factor in politics or the
naming of officials, but in so many
instances it would seem that some
where in all northeastern Vermont
men of worth might be found. This
part of the state may be a cold and
desolate spot for the present gov
ernor, but when once stirred up we
announce to the world that there are
a few counties up here that can
make it warm for almost anyone who
tries to slight them.

The death of such men as A. l..
Bailey of ST. Johnsbury and L. P.
Aubin of Newport emphasizes the
contention of this paper, often re-
peated, that opportunity lays close
at hand for many youth who looks
with longing eyes to the elysian
fields of other climes and states. Mr..
Bailey built up business in the
sale of musical instruments in north
ern Vermont, New Hampshire and
New York, which placed him in the
ranks of our larger business men,
amassed for him a fortune and gave
him standing and prestige, which
are not to be forgotten when looking
for large things because, in many
minds, those things are "away"
somewhere. Mr. Aubin built for
himself business and place in the
business world of Orleans county
with the material at hand There is
opportunity at home if we have but
mind to see it, the courage to un-
dertake the task and the stamina to
finish it.

Publishing Crime Facts.

Reports indicate that the gambling
game at the White River Junction
House was pleasanter to sit in than
to read about in the local newspaper
after the recent raid by the authori-
ties there, some of the participants
claiming that the publicity was an
outrage and an injustice. AS the
Rutland Herald says: "Such things
are public proceedings and the public
is entitled to know about them au-
chemically. People accused of crimes
and offenses are usually very much
annoyed when hailed into court and
are inclined to blame the newspaper.
AS matter of fact they are them
selves to blame if guilty. The news
paper merely records and publishes
the facts as it gets them or as they
are developed in court"

st. Johnsbury appears to have a
full sized murder case on its hands,
in the death of a Chinese laundry
man, whose body was found with a
crushed skull. His place is said to
have been a gambling rendezvous. If
red blooded American men could on
ly see their plain duty to clean up
ssuch places, and nearly every town
of any size has them, while they are
sores in the community, instead of
letting them go until they have
spread disease and crime broadcast,
what blessing it would be for the
youth of our communities. 1t is not
the downright ''bad" places which al
ways create the most trouble, but
the mot too bad" places at which
men wink, where petty offences eat
their way into the vitals of weak
minded men who fall into some maj
or crime, apparently of a sudden.
Let us keep our ideals fixed on the
stars. Most of us fall far hort of
those ideals, but high ideals more Of
ten lead to good than bad and It is
better to take q chance in cleaning
up unsavory places than risk such
crimes as that st. Johnsbury now
finds suddenly thrust into its COM
munity.

The forestry department of the
state is purchasing about 5000 acres
of timber land to add to that already
owned in the region of Groton. It is
considered good business for the
state to invest in timber land and
corporations find it good investment
also. Why not towns and villages =?
If we remember correctly there is a
Vermont law which allows towns,
cities and incorporated villages to
buy timber land. AS a specific ex-
ample would not Barton village ben
eft in the long run by the purchase
of certain land surrounding May
pond, the source of it's municipal
water supply? This land might be
left to grow marketable timber and
at the same time would afford a
better and more assured water sup
ply.
