And there is no Improvement in our
roads.
If you will go over the figures in The
Reformer Of Jan. Is. 1922, YOU will find
la mistake in the figures for 1921 of $3.50.
OF course small sum of $500 is not
much for q state that throws away as
much as this state does.
In 1919 this same commission was tried
TO be put over. but it did not get through.
Mr.. Brooks of Keene. y. H.. told a friend
of mine before election that Hardness
promised to give him better job, if he
(IIartneSs) was elected. Governor Hart
ness did appoint Brooks highway COM
missioner, but the senate did not confirm
his appointment. Then they go to work
and appoint Dix commissioner and
Brooks assistant. Now we have five men
to do the work instead of one at a ire
mendOus increase in expenses. Look at
the figures: sos, 302,99 increase in one
year.
Mr. Barber also says the 1919 legisla-
ture did not appropriate enough to meet
expenses and the 1921 legislature had to
make it up. That being the case, why
did not the 1921 legislature economic?
They raised their own salaries. They
raised their mileage up to 40 cents Il mile.
They raised the salaries of all the judges.
county clerks. shcriffs and many others
and all this on falling market.
| suggest Way to cut expenses:
!. Kick out the read commission.
-. Cut all salaries of state officers p
per cent Not one If them would give
up his job if it was cut 30 per cent. The
governors salary is not too much, but all
others get double what they are worth.
;. 1t the legislature would meet long
enough to pas what legislation is needed
to run the government and repeal 800
fool laws on the statute books and go
home. instead of hanging around putting
on 500 new ones. the state of Vermont
would be much better off than She is to-
day.
/ am not saying this to criticize my
friend Barber, but wish him good luck
But | ask him to stick to facts. l may

An Important Notice

AS we have said before we have
been running some subscriptions
after they have expired. We
have done this because we knew
that many wanted to continue
and times we're hard. Now the
time has come for a settlement.
We must either have the renewal
money or we will have to cut off
the subscription. This we do
not wish to do. as we want all
who desire the paper to have it.
There are few who owe US for
as much as six months and sew
eral of these have gotten mad
with US and will neither pay nor
renew. Well we are sorry. tits
not our fault. We acted fair and
square with you and if you want
to hold back what is ours we can
afford to lose it better than you
can afford not to pay it.
Come up friends and give US
your renewal.
