ic, not political We con not with
reason hope that a legislature at
Montpelier can pick up the subject
and come to helpful conclusions in
one session.
That would be an unreasonable ex-
pectation. But what one legislature
can do is to make a. start, and leave
it for some successor to finish. One
legislature, the one to take Office
next year, can show that it realizes
the Importance of the question and
take the first step toward finding a
remedy. It can authorize a state
wide, systematic study of OUT prob
lem and call for recommendation to
be considered and passed on by the
next legislature, if that offers time
enough.
Of course the objection would be
raised that this means another COM
mission, and there is prejudice
against commissions. But it were
folly to let this prejudice prevent a
positive good being achieved. Taxa
ton is primarily a state matter and
the state ought to undertake it. But
if the state does not, then it should
be undertaken by some private or
ganization. People interested in the
subject-and we all should have this
interest-should band together, fail
ing state action, and finance an ex-
haustive study of the tax problem
from the Vermont angle. From one
source or the other we should have
action before long.

The Gambling Curse.
Est. Adams Messenger

A Massachusetts man seeks to re-
cover 100000 for losses at rou-
lette, he claiming that the wheels had
been controlled against him so that
he had no chance to win. Half mill
lion dollars is whole lot of money
and the man who lost it has reason
to feel sore, both at himself and the
world in general.
But why did he lose it? He blames
the crooked wheel. He ought to
blame himself. He probably wasn't
forced into the game. It isn't rea-
sonable to suppose that he was. Nor
was he indulging in any friendly
game. !. Hundreds of thousands do
not change hands in friendly games.
He was out to make money by gam
bling and he was trimmed good and
plenty.
1t is a good object lesson for those
who would make gambling a profess
sion. The world is full of such les
sons, but this is a most striking one.
Half a million gone over the green
cloth and not until it has gone is the
charge of crookedness brought. There
is an old saying that fool and his
money are soon parted. 1t is for the
world to Judge whether this man was
a fool in that he did not wake up to
the fact that he was a sucker until
the sharpers had taken half million
away from him. The gambling I'M
pulse is curse to those who are In
it's grasp.

Our Rural School System.
(Rutland News)

1t was only short time ago that
an educator from the state of Penn
sylvania came to Vermont to study
our rural school system. Now New
York State editors, particularly those
in northern New York, where con-
ditions of travel are similar to those
in Vermont and where practically all
the problems that we have here have
to be dealt with are looking to this
state as model.
The editor of the st. Lawrence
Plain Dealer, Canton, N. Y, declares
that he can not believe in the system
in vogue in the Empire State at
present where school plans are form
ulated in large city by those ap-
parently ignorant of the difficulties
the isolated schools meet with in the
matter of transportation and of eff
Gent teachers.
The Plain Dealer calls Dorothy
Garfield Fishers articles on rural
schools "the most valuable contribu-
! ton to rural literature that has been
written" The paper says, too:
"Vermont's State Board of Educa-
ton also has remarkably clear Wis
ion of rural conditions, of the rural
mind, when it a few months ago in
augurated the present movement to
improve Vermont's schools. If faith
fully followed the idea will succeed
beyond present dreams"
"The whole idea of Vermont's
Board of Education centers around
the fostering and growth of commun-
ity pride.
Rural people are proud people.
They do not want to be dictated to
or driven. When the farmer believes
that he has reason to think that some
autocratic educational body proposes
to make school laws that he believes
unreasonable and silly, that he must
live UP to, then he gets stubborn"
The Plain Dealer believes that not
only will Vermont put up a sign for
STANDARD schools but that "she will
go farther and put the rating on the
front of every school that is below
standard for the world to see."
That the work Of our board of ed
ucation is receiving such attention
from two states, New York and Penn
sylvania, is a fine tribute to their
forethought and initiative. Dorothy
Garfield Fishers suggestions are ex-
tremely reasonable and their great
est strength lies in their simplicity
and their direct appeal to those who
have children who must receive an
education.

Studying Our Tax Problem.
(St. Adams Messenger1

The New Hampshire state tax
commission has announced that there
is to be a state wide reappraisal of
property for taxation purposes. From
this one infers: first, that the state
commission has the power to under
take such AN adjustment; second, that
inequalities between localities exist
even as they do in Vermont.
The absence of uniformity in Yer
mont is notorious, yet it is tolerated.
It is the cause of unequal assessment
of state tax. Therefore it constitutes
an injustice IT makes dishonest
men out of listers who swear to grand
lists which thew know are not made
UP according to the law. 1t is rot
ten arrangement.
Yet at the same time it is big
problem. 1t is much easier to see
the defects in taxation system than
it is to correct them. Even experts
disagree among themselves. The or
binary business man can not find a
remedy offhand. The average 1egis-
lator is not competent to pass remed-
ial legislation
To say this is no reflection on eth
er the business man or the average
LEGISLATOR Taxation is highly
specialized branch of the science of
economics. 1t is field by itself and
it takes long, arduous study to grasp
its elements. Our best taxation exl
perts have not gone to the bottom
of the study yet by any means.
But it is not HELPLESS situation.
If perfection can not be found, it can
be more CLOSELY appropriated than
we have it in Vermont todav. The
point is: we ought to recognize the
problem for just what it is; scientif-

A letter to the editor regarding
the humane law, quoted to some
length in this paper, calls to the at
tention of our readers subject wor-
thy of greater thought and attention
than it is usually given. There is
some unnecessary exposure of horses
in winter and many herds of cattle
are housed in barns too cold to give
them comfort in extreme weather.
And then there is the downright
cruel man who beats his dumb ami
mails. These men above all others
ought to be dealt with in a manner
which would give them to understand
that the law will protect those who
cannot protect themselves. 1t is q
coward who cruelty treats a dumb
beast.
