AutOists Asked Question.
(Stanstead Up. O. Journal,

QUESTIONABLE sent by the secre-
tary-treasurer, l.. B. Greene, of the
Automobile club asking members the
following questions, brought the an
swers herein given: care you fav-
orable to the enactment of legislation
which will select, construct and main
tain system of highways in the
state entirely under state control ?"
Yes, 500; no, 141. care you favor
able to increased registration fees on
trucks, jitneys and pleasure cars %
Yes, 178; no, 358. care you in favor
of using portion of the money SO
raised in the construction of state
controlled highways?" Yes, 389; no,
LOT. "Are you in favor of a state
bond issue which will furnish funds
to construct such selected state-con-
trolled highways p" Yes, 312; no,
315. care you in favor of a gaso-
line tax of one or two cents per gal
lon similar to the tax already i'm
posed by IA states and contemplated
by other states ?" Yes, 295; no, 344
The members of this club are largely
wealthy people,, owners of medium
and high power cars, and consequent
ly these replies are quite significant.
We would like to see a similar sheet
of questions sent to farmers. The
average farmer and business man
will not vote for any increase in tax
alton. or anything in the way of over
head that will lead to this increase by
a present tax or a promise to pay in
the future.

SUSPECT YOUR KIDNEYS
Too Many Barton People Neglect
Early Symptoms of Kidney
Trouble.

If you back is lame-if you feel
dull, tired and all-worn-out-
If you have hard headaches, back
aches and dizzy spells
If the kidney secretions are disor-
dered-
Suspect the kidneys and "take a
stitch in time"
Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the time
tried, home-endorsed kidney remedy.
1t may save you from serious kid
ney trouble.
Make use of the experience of
Chas. l. Morse, farmer, Water St.,
Barton. He says: 81 used Doan's
Kidney Pills when my back and kid
neys were badly disordered, due to
heavy lifting. My back was lame and
sore and l found it hard to do my
work. My kidneys were weak and
the secretions scanty in passage. 1
heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and one
box from Pierce's Drug Store brought
relief. After using another box
they fixed me up. Ny cure has been
permanent and I am glad to- recon-
mend Doan's for they have made me
feel like a different man."
Mr.. Morse had. Foster Milburn
Price so cents, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

1t is noted by circular is
sued by the Vermont Bank commits
sioner that licensed investment COM
panies sold to Vermonters during the
year 1921 securities amounting to-
over $27 100000. More than nine and
a half million dollars was invested in
real estate mortgages in other states
and most of the remaining eighteen
millions was put into stocks and
bonds of various kinds and descrip-
tons, most of which probably went
out of the state. No doubt the great
er share of this money is well in
vested but it seems that more Yer
mont money ought to be put into the
development of our own state. A
huge amount of the money in our
banks is also invested outside of the
state, when Vermont interests are
said to suffer to some extent. Is
there not some remedy for this con-
tinued development of every state ex-
cent our own.

and elimination of curves that the
federal money is practically all spent
before any surface is constructed.
Certainly the state has not got
adequate surface wear from two of
these projects, considering the large
sums spent thereon.
The Herald suspects that the re-
partment suffers, as other depart
ments are suffering, from a lack of
definite policy. The plans for road
building are SO vague that. for in
stance, such frst-class man as Sup
ervisor w. r. Bush of this district
was misinformed in regard to the de-
partment's plans for the gateway
road and was made to appear foolish
when the governor and commissioner
absolutely disclaimed any intention
of building the road.
Those of US who have read Mr..
Bush's accurate and detailed report
of the work done in this county know
pretty well who was to blame for
that fiasco.
The Herald hopes that Mr.. Dix and
his somewhat unwieldly organization,
handicapped by a highway policy
represented mostly by the symbol x,
will "show us something" this sum-
mer; if not, it may be confidently
predicted that the next legislature
will repeal the present highway
board law and return to the Arcadian
simplicity of the Bates and Gates re-
gimes.

Quadrennial Appraisals and the Law
(Rutland Herald)

1t is plain enough that if the quad
rennial appraisal this year were con-
Quoted according to law, the taxable
property in the state would be in
creased in grand-list value fully SO
per cent. A contemporary stated re-
Gently that property had sold in that
town recently for 80 per cent. more
than it's listed valuation.
This is a serious situation, and
while nothing very extensive can
probably be done this year to mend
things, it is probable that the sub
ject will be lively issue in the legis-
lature and discussion at this time is
very important.
Meanwhile, The Herald suggests
that careful reading of the law
might be of value to some listers who
have been violating it Systematically
for years.

Results, or Back to Bates Plan.
(Rutland Herald).

Answering some inquiries as to
what the trouble is with the highway
department, The Herald suggests
that it is, of course, unfair to write
the final verdict on it's accomplish
ments, for the reason that it was
hardly organized in time to do much
effective work last summer; it will
take all of the coming season to
make much of showing.
So far, such criticism as deserves
mention deals mostly with organiza-
ton. The board, consisting of the
governor, practicing physician and
the former highway commissioner,
has taken no active part in the form
toned as it should have, or as the
legislature intended that it should
1t is even stated that the COM
missioner is authorized by vote of the
board to act for it at all times, the
board delegating it's authority abso-
lutely to the commissioner.
The addition of high-salaried men
to the department, the increase of
overhead, the evident intention of the
administration to spend more for
supervision, have been very sharply
criticized The tendency is stated by
one critic, who recently had business
with the department:
81 asked what a certain mans job
was,' he declared, "and was told that
he looked after the men that looked
after the trucks"
Responsibility thinly spread out
and hard to pin down, in other words
indicates certain fundamental
weakness in the department.
Very severe criticism is also direct
ed at the cost of federal-aid roads, es-
pecially those in Dummerston, on
French hill in Williston and on the
Danby-Dorset road in this county.
The Herald is inclined to think the
fault lies elsewhere, certainly in a
very large degree.
!, 1t has been stated that the Yer
mont taxpayer loses money by this
federal-aid plan; that, apart from the
pittance which. is returned in proper
ton to our heavy federal taxes, it
costs Vermont more to build federal
aid roads than it would cost to build
the roads ourselves. This is said to
be due to the federal specifications
which require so much for grading

SUBSCRIPTIONS
ENFORCING PROHIBITION

The enforcement of the prohibition
act is a vital question. 1t is ques-
ton on which every person ought to
put some thought and question on
which every persons attitude has
some bearing.
The question has a special interest
to Orleans county because our north
ern border is the Quebec line and
Quebec is said to be the wettest spot
on the North American continent. Or
leans county therefore becomes a
sort of runway for liquor smuggling
The quantity of liquor apprehended
here and the quantity which admit
teddy "gets by" tends to give the
VoIstead act an especially bad flavor
in this immediate vicinity.
But Judge Wright and Officer Jen-
nings gave liquor running a severe
set back last week when man claim
ing to be from New York was appre-
hended with some $50 quarts OF
booze. From the moment he was ar
rested until the time he was sentenc-
escaping the penalty of the law First
he offered Officer Jennings and as
sistant Humphrey money to be left
alone. The sum offered was a hand
some one, said to be $500. Finding
bribery of no avail this man and the
pals who were called to his rescue
used threats of violence against their
captors. This also failed.
In court the man acted the part OF
innocence, plead the, cause of first of
tense and asked for leniency, but
Judge Wright, convinced that the
man was in the business On a COM
mercial scale, gave him the maximum
fine of $1,000 each on two counts and
a good stiff Jail sentence in addition
Judge Wright says that this is the
sentence these law violators will re-
cefve in his court when he is con-
WINGED that they are smuggling for
commercial purposes.
We venture the statement \ that
good stiff prison sentences, such as
Judge Wright has started to give the
law violators, and officers who face
brides and threats unmoved as did
Officer Jennings, will soon check this
stream of liquor running through
Orleans county.
We heartily commend the work OF
both Judge Wright and Officer Jen-
nings and believe the start they have
made points the way to better en-
forcement. Liquor running through
Orleans county may be less popular
in the future than in the past.
Active, fearless and trusted officers
and courts which send violators to
prison will have it's effects on rum
running. And while public senti-
rnent may not be altogether in favor
of the Volstead act, it is the law and
the public should uphold it.
Let the people who believe in the
law commend the officer and the
judge who did such splendid work in
the case mentioned above. Write
them letters, telephone them, see
them. 1t will give them courage
Don't put it off. Do it now.

Home Brew Less Popular.
Barre Times)

We hear a good deal about the
failure of prohibition, but If you just
stop and think of it you don't hear
so much about the home brewer as
you did right after the Volstead act
went into effect. Evidently the home
brew product went out of style be-
cause it required too much work and
the results were not satisfactory. 1t
was one step toward the success of
the law and time will show others.

Bates Important Factor in Next
Senate.

"Stod" Bates has finally hurled his
old winter cap with the warm ear
laps into the senatorial "scrap" of
Orleans county. He has no particu-
lar platform, except to give his chest
efforts to all measures which seem to
me to be for the best interests Of
the state" This is not particularly
definite, but is probably enough tc
carry Bates into the nomination, as
he has the fairly solid backing of his
county and most of the northern coun-
ties in anything significant which. he
may undertake. He will be mighty
potential and important factor of the
next Senate if The Herald is any
judge of the situation.

Lower Auto Insurance Rates Possible
(St. Adams Messenger)

The insurance commissioner re-
ports that insurance companies paid
out last year for damages to auto
mobiles sums amounting to a little
over $4,000, while the premiums
paid were over 100000, leaving a
substantial gross profit of over 100
per cent. from which the cost of do
ing business is to Be deducted. There
year was a period of exceptional
safety on the roads; more likely it
was a normal experience. If so,
people who insure their autos may be
wondering if it would not be possible
for the rates to be reduced somewhat
on such showing.
