The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1922-05-24

Sheriff Frank L. Tracy of Montpelier,
Ex-Sheriff j. L. Allen of Burlington or
Senator Fred l.. Davis of Hartford.
Now comes another most important
appointment, that of United States dls-
trict attorney, for which w. n. liner.
iault of Montpelier, Harry b. Amey OF
Brighton and Ernest w. GIBSON OF brat
tleboro are supposed to be candidates.
Senator Dillingham; can hardly urge
Theriault Is appointment and at the
same time reserve his right to name
Harry c. Whitehill of Waterbury as
collector of customs at the port OF St
Adams and vet the senior senator 8
wishes are very seldom definitely OPP
posed by the delegation.
Congressman Dale may or may not be
prepared to urge Amey's candidacy but
with his own personal wishes adequately
met in the choice of Harvey. he can
ludiciously use his influence for any one
of the three candidates for district at
Jorney.
Meanwhile Congressman Greene must
recommend someone to succeed Collins
NJ Graves as enforcement officer, and
if the appointment Is to come to the
first district, that would probably mean
the elimination of John I. Gushing OF
st. Adams as candidate for CO..! ctor
of customs against Whltehlll. The DO-
abilities seem to favor WhitehilI; taen
it comes to a choice for district attor.-
neY.
The logic of the situation seems to lie
with Dale. With Harvey taken care of,
he will probably not ask for Amey; and
if Dillingham's wishes are met in the
case of Whitehill, geography, points
directly to Gibson. who, by the way,
has not been considered very serious
or imposing candidate The selection of
Gibson. and Hyland, incidentally. would
have a distinctly modifying effect on
the so-ealled "Legion vote. -
These are long distance speculations
of no particular value, but they repre-
sent an agreeable relief from the exas-
perating situation in regard to bonus and
tariff legislation. Personalities and poll
tics are more entertaining than public
policies, but not of any comparative i'm
portance.

two other commissioners. This body
has also created assistant state highway
commissioners as well as a large office
staff, and put into the field force of
engineers of whom the fathers dreamed
not.
Then follows a brief description Of
road conditions between Burlington and
Ludlow. The Free Press man notes
that the Shelburne-B Burlington road, COM
pleted last year, is already being re-
surfaced; that the Weybridge road pro-
ject is cut of by detour: that very
little effort was in evidence elsewhere
that the state was represented by one
official sitting in car by the roadside
reading q newspaper.
The veracious chronicler then says:
Under the circumstances the people
of Vermont will be fortunate if they
get 81 100000 worth of road improve
ments out of the 100000 Just set
aside for roads by the state board OF
control. IF the single road official sitting
IN a fiivver parked by the side of the
road reading a paper, somewhere be
tween Burlington and Ludlow, with nc
road workers within miles, is sample
Vermont will not get even 80 per cent
from its - 100000 of state road money
The conclusion. then is this: Governor
Hardness had full authority under No
l23 of the public acts of 1921 to re,
organize the highway department. The
hoard has voted him two millions fol-
funds. What better chance to demon
strate the beauties of state manage
ment?
1t NAV be that before the season j:
over the merits of the Hardness system
hiring three men to do the work for
merlv done by one-will be evident. II
so, we shall verv cheerfully- give the
matter further attention.
Meanwhile, it is only fair to say thai
when the people selected James Hartness
as governor they expected-and had 8
right to expect-that they were hiring
man not only familiar with big business
but competent to direct it.
So far. their expectations do not seen
to be Justified, if we may take the wore
OF our contemporary. .....-

State Management.
Rutland Herald.l

The resources of the average state
newspaper proved inadequate to the
task of publishing in full the three or
four columns of close-set matter which
the statement of Governor Hardness to
the state budget committee represents,
but the resume prepared by John L.
Cushing of st. Adams and published III
Monday s issue of The Herald contains
the germ of the executive 5 idea.
1t is, in brief, the employment OF a
state manager with full power to hire
and fire. - organize and disorganize,
take the place. in fact, of the constItu-
tional officers and various departments
on whom the business of the state now
depends He bases this suggestion to
the committee on the ground that fifty
per cent of the state s revenues are alb
solutelY wasted.
AS to the waste, it is no doubt large,
but the Governor gives no data what
ever on which to base such statement.
1t NAV be fifty, or thirty or even sixty
per cent waste, for all the facts he sets
forth. Let us admit, however. that the
waste is large and look at the PROPOSE
tion of a business manager.
In this respect the Governor saws:
H'We could afford to pay a Hoover
four times the presidential salary and
still save an enormous sum each year

Fifty Per Cent Efficient.

The comments on the proposal oil

Is only 80 per cent efficient have been
many and various The latter point IS
touched on suggestively by the Barre
Times.
If a business man were getting only
fifty per cent efficiency out OF his busl-

SWEDISH FARMS

TO ERECT COTTAGES
AND BUY STOCK

Instruction of JObless In FavOrite
Branches Does Relieve Idleness =
Obliged to Cancel Payment to Unnlar-
ried, Farmworhers and Fishermen.
STOCKHOLM, May 24.-Before long
the Swedish unemployed may have a
chance to become independent farmers.
When they recently expressed the de-
sire to obtain small farms of their own
where they might work till old age with
out being subjected to enforced idleness,
their request sounded at first like wish
ing for the moon.
But not so to the minister of agricul-
ture. who Immediately ordered an in
vestigation into the possibilities of form
ing a farm colony in the province of
Soedermanland. If the plan is found
feasible the government may purchase
land to be parceled among its unemployed.
The project would, of course, involve
more than acquiring the land. The gov
ernment will have to build cottages on
the farms, and supply its INDECENT citi-
/ zens with live stock. farm implements
| and living expenses for the first year.
The farm project is one OF the most
! important and interesting of many at
/ tempts for relieving the unemployment
! troubles OF the country. Last winter
/ several thousand iobless were given in
struction in almost any branch OF learn
/ ing in which they were Interested. Large
| appropriations were set aside Tor doles
/ and for public works at which the other
/ wise unemployed would be able to earn
a living wage. and 1t was hoped that
conditions would soon become better
| Nevertheless. unemployment is still the
most serious problem of Sweden de.
/ spite slight decrease in the number OF
/ idle.
/. The iobless still number more than
| 10000, OF whom about Is, 600 received
aid. This number is higher than wa:
/ expected and in order to keep within the
| budget, the unemployment commission
and the government have had to canoe
/ during the summer unemployment aIC
| to unmarried men and women, ali farm
/ workers and fishermen. 1t Is believed
/ that these classes can shift for them
selves during the summer and nick ur
enough work to keen them going. Mar
/ ried men with families still draw slip
| ends. while relief work of all kinds Is
| being planned.
/ The unemployment commission is lay
ing plans for extensive forest work IN
| cooperation with the forestry board anG
| the state domains department. Further
more, about 100000 has been diverted
from the unemployment fund for buy
ing paving stones to be placed at the
| disposal. free of cost, of certain towns
| and highway boards for the Improvement
of streets and roads, thus affording EN-
ployment to considerable numbers.
