HARD-UP UNCLE SAM.

Congress should be particularly in
terested in the announcement that in
ternal revenue ollections-mainly in
come and profits taxes-for the fiscal
year ending last June fell off 81, 400,-
100000 from those of the year before.
There is no way of telling just what
will happen to the governments income
for the present fiscal year, ending in
June of 1923, but it is reasonably GER
tain that there will not be much i'm
provement. That income will continue
to depend, until the end of 1922, chiefly
on the taxes assessed on the incomes
and profits for 1921. The nation, no
doubt, is making more money now than
it made last year, but it is doubtful how
that improvement will show in the next
set of tax returns. Present industrial
disturbances and the unsettled fate of
the tariff and bonus bills make futile all
guesses as to the immediate business
outlook.
1t is self-evident that the urgent duty
Of congress is to try to meet loss of
government income by economy rather
than add to the burdens of an empty
treasury.

RADIO FOR CAR THIEVES.

Each week the broadcasting station at
Cleveland, o., is to flash TO the sur
rounding country a list of automobiles
stolen from Cleveland owners The
make of the car, the license and engine
numbers, time when stolen and other in
formation of value in locating each car
will be given. 1t is believed that the
news will be picked up all over the state
and in the states adjoining.
This is one of the uses which was
predicted for the radio service and in
which it should be most effective, cover
ing as it does an amount of territory
and reaching an audience more extern
siye and varied than can be touched in
an equal period of time by any other de-
vice.
Tracking down stolen cars and APP
pretending the thieves is a slow bust
ness, but radio should help. The atten-
ton of regions to which it is suspected
stolen car may have been taken can
be attracted especially, and many a dis
concerted thief as result may find him
self tracked down by this aerial Lit
tie Mowcher'' just when he figures he is
most secure.

weathers. Not many of this generation
will live to be 102 and in this gas
hauled era few will be able to attribute
any unusual longevity to the practice of
walking, for those who once walked are
prone to ride when possible. Still, for
tunately for those who ride there is
growing understanding of the value of
exercise and many of them make up for
their shortcomings in the pedestrian line
by active sports or special forms of
physical training.

Better supervision-Less Cost.
Sept. 1
(Aforrisyille Messenger

MOrrISYllle Messenger
Two years ago this paper. practically
alone, waged great battle for fewer and
better district school superintendent.
1t viii be remembered we wanted not
only to save the state money but get bet
ter schools
The effort failed because of the deter
mined opposition of the board of educa-
ton and most of the state papers.
Now the Burlington Free Press is
taking practically the same position this
paper did then. demanding fewer dis
tricts and better men.
Dorothy Garfield Fisher and even our
old friend, L. b. Johnson, of the board,
now admit some such change is needed.
The time of the superintendent now is
taken up largely in ordering school sup
plies, making out reports, and other
clerical work, that we then contended and
more firmly believe now, good woman
bookkeeper could do cheaper and better
That would give the superintendent
more time, so that the districts could be
reduced TO II, the same as the health dis
tricts If the health department can
handle its work successfully, and all adj
nit it does, here is a chance to save at
least many thousands Of dollars.
The health department saved over
$4,000 over the old system
The Free Press closes by saving:
There is nothing like stirring up a de-
partment to get it out of rut and we
are all liable to get into ruts. 1t is graf
flying to see departments take up con-
struetive readjustment. 1t is to be hoped
other departments may follow the exam
pie of the school board"

OUR TRAFFIC PROBLEM.
o. ID. Stowen Suggests Safety Zones and
Parking Limit.

Editor of Reformer -
| read in your paper recently an article
relative to parking cars on our streets
1t has been the writer's privilege TO
drive during the past weeks through the
cities between Springfield, Mass and
Buffalo, n Y, and / took careful note of
their traffic regulations. Frankly,
would rather drive through any of them
than through our streets on Saturday.
Unfortunately our streets are narrow,
but | have mo sympathy with the kicker
who has no suggestion to offer. To avoid
any fatal accident which We might re-
greet for years | would make the follow
ing suggestion
That safety zones be painted across the
street al convenient crossings for the Pc
deStrianS.
That the traffic officers be on duty be-
tween the hours of II and / during the
months necessary, and Il parking limit of
one hour be placed on Main and Elliot
streets.

The MeddIer
eff the coat fits you, put il on"

Appointment of local fuel administra-
tors throughout Vermont brings home
the fuel emergency more than any num-
Der of general newspaper stories would.
There is little doubt that this state
will be confronted with hard coal
shortage likely TO last throughout the
winter. Present indications, however,
are that soft coal will be obtainable in
limited quantities. To what extent To-
cal administrators will be called into ac-
ton depends very much on local condi-
tions. 1t is to be hoped that coal and
wood prices will not warrant anything
in the way of municipal action, although
under a law passed in 1919 towns and
villages have the right to operate fuel
yards to provide householders with fuel
at cost. In a few places, one of them
Rutland, woodlots already have been ac-
quired as measure of public safety,
economy and convenience.
In Brattleboro most of the business
blocks and public institutions have soft
coal supplies sufficient to carry them
well into the winter, and there is a feel
ing among dealers that the bituminous
market is likely to ease up from now on.
SO far as residences are concerned, how
ever, the great majority are entirely
without anything like an adequate an
thracite supply, and the wise thing for
their owners to do is to plan on utiliza-
ton of other forms of fuel, either soft
coal or wood. 1t should be the duty of
the local fuel administrator to keep
sharp eye on the wood situation and in
woke the provisions of the law above
mentioned in case it becomes apparent
that inadequate supply is driving the
price beyond reasonable figure.
The Meddler does not pretend to have
a solution of the automobile parking
problem in it's entirety, but he believes
that one step that should be taken inn
mediately as a measure of public safety
is the prevention of all parking on Main
street between Elliot street corner and
Main street bridge. No one need spend
more tnan nVe minutes Watching lfdIHC
on Main street hill, especially on rainy
day, TO become convinced of this need.
Even in dry weather the pavement in
this section is so slippery that quick
stopping is out of the question, and the
wonder is that accidents are not of daily
occurrence.
News that Henry Z. Shipman motored
westward $500 miles in ten days might
be taken to Indicate the measure of his
desire to put a long distance between
himself and the town where he served as
one of the listers who made the quad
rennial appraisal.
Durability may be one of the qualities
of the new street signs that have been
put up in certain localities; certainly no
one can claim that they are beautiful.
According to one of them Brattleboro
now has a "Forst Street" leading from
High to Chase. |

Waging war against Dame Fashion is
generally a losing ight, but twenty of
Montreal's smartest and prettiest girls
have started a rebellion against the at
tempts of the style creators to foist long
skirts on women and have formed a No

themselves to cling to the abbreviated
variety and do all possible to induce
other women to keep their skirts short.

Cllautauqua Deficits.
BARRE Times.)

Various Vermont towns are taking ac-
count of stock to see which had the big
gest Chautauqua deficit to make up this
year. From reports thus far made pub
lie, Brattleboro seems to take the lead
in an individual assessment of $50
against the guarantors. Some day a
scheme may be devised which will make
the Chautauqua companies cO-sharers in
deficits instead of being sure-thing win
ners in every instance. even at the ex-
pense of local guarantors.

The Nomad, the interesting writer of
the Boston Transcript, visited the
Graphic Arts exposition and saw there
the old Stephen Daye printing press, the
first to be used in this country, which
recently went by motor from Montpelier
to Boston to be exhibited He says:
There stands the old press-a curious
rude old rattle-trap. Not far away the
modern presses, instinct with life throb
and whir and dump their perfect i'm
pressions not in sheets but in masses.
All that the old Stephen Dave press
printed in a hundred years, and more
too, could be turned out by these me-
chanical thunderbolts, it would seem.
IN about ID minutes. Yet that old press
printed Mather's sermons and Eliot's
Indian Bible, and the early laws of the
Province of Massachusetts Bay, and
John Cotton's Spiritual Milk for Boston
Babes. and it may have printed Ed
wards's History of the Redemption. One
wonders whether all the other machines
in the hall, taking theni all together,
have ever exercised, or ever win exer-
else, 1.-THE of the influence which that
old rattle-trap has had. One doubts it.

sires to be beyond the three-mile limit
