Senator Cummins said after the

one more opportunity to settle

"It there isn't settlement in 4
few days" he said, 81 will intro
duce a bill authorizing the Govern
ment to operate the mines"
Likewise, he said, the railroads
would be given a reasonable"
time in which to demonstrate their
ability to furnish adequate service,
and that those unable to do 80
would be taken over.

Oranges Suggestion for the

by the New York state grange
at its convention in Binghamton
last week, when Endorsement was
given to a proposal that each coun
try community now without a
physician should erect a home and
a small hospital for the accommo-
dation of one. This accords with
the suggestion of President
Pritchett of the Carnegie Founda-

Every legislature brings new
crop because OF the rotation sys-
tenn that obtains in the towns in
the matter of sending representa-
tives to the General Assembly.
Once a man has been inoculated
and it has taken, he is fixed for
life. SO we have thousands of pol
iticians.
When they get together at a
state meeting naturally politics be-
come a subject of conversation.
Instead of this being bad it is
beneficial. Exchange of opinion
is just as valuable when it comes
to public matters as it is with any
thing else. One of the losses at
tending the passing of the conven-
ton system is the elimination of
a clearing house for opinion as to
men and things. 1t is a serious
loss, let no mistake be made about
that.
The old Fish and Game League.
did much for the advancement of
fish and game interests of the
state. Its political contribution was
additional. The new organization
can be of service for the sporting
interests. and if it also serves as a
clearing house, so much the better.
No one need have any fear of
its eXtra-organic ACTIVITY.
Any organization that bring
Vqmonters togethe, from all sec
tons &C the state is bound to b
beneficial. So many conflicting in
terests are bound to be represented
that it can not be used as the tool
of any designing man or men.
Safety is in the very diversity Of
men and minds. Such an organiza
ton is certain to be a cross section
of the electorate, ad if a man can
pass muster with its membership,
it is more than likely he can pass

The Messenger hopes the revived
Fish and Game League will be-
come a substantial organization
working for the ends which CON
Germ it from its very nature. To 1t
men interested in the wild life, OF
the state should belong and give
their support. No one need fear
political activity in any wrong
sense, for, as has been pointed. out

PRESS COMMENT
The Fish and Game League

1t is interesting to read that
the old Vermont Fish and Game
League, once an organization of
commanding Importance, has been
revived. The first thought that
will flash into many minos is that
here is political instlumentality
being brought back to life.
This The Messenger doubts very
much. The truth of the matter is
that years ago the League was not
so much in politics as politicians
We're in the League. And when one
talks about politicians in Vermont
one covers a pretty large field.
The word applies to most men who
are at all active outside the mar
row confines of their own business
or profession.
We manufacture politicians in
this state by the score biennially.

In 1926 the first number of the
Franklin Journal was issued, and a
high school was established. Steam
boilers, dry docks, water wheels,
meteorological phenomena, uni
form weights and measures, and
uniform screw threads represent
only few Of the fields of investi-
cation entered in the next fifty
years. A great industrial exhibit
was held in 1874. Then resolu-
ton to Congress from the Institute
resulted in the holding Of the first
great world fair, the Centennial
in 1876. Without state or federal
aid the Institute held the first In
ternational Electrical Exhibition
in 1884. and the organization OF
the American Institute of Electro
cal Engineers resulted. The Ma
tional Export Exhibition was held
in 1899. During the last war an
aviation examination station, a
school of navigation, and a free
radio school were established and
maintained.
