STATE FINANCES.

The statement of Auditor Gates which
appeared in yesterdays Reformer gives
ground for encouragement over the condi-
ton of Vermont's finances, but it should
not be received with undue optimism 1t
is pleasing, of course, to note that there
was balance of approximately $780,
600 ins the state treasury at the close
of the fiscal year ended June 81, 1922,
but in rejecting upon this state of af-
fairs conservative taxpayers will bear
in mind that not so very long ago there
was much talk about surplus which
in fact did not materialize.
The RefOrmer does not intend to take
a pessimistic view of the matter, but it
cannot help feeling, nevertheless, that
the state auditor is over-optimistic in
his belief that the end of the present
fiscal year (June 80, 1929 will see a
considerable balance on hand In his
estimate of receipts for the coming year
Mr.. Gates figures $1,250000 from the
40-cent state tax. Last years 20-cent
tax, however, brought in but little over
$559000 so with no change in the grand
IlSL the receipts from LnlS source Tor
the coming year could hardly amount to
more than $1,11S,000. Furthermore,
there is every reason for believing that
the grand list for the year will show a
considerable falling off-so much, indeed,
that receipts from this source may not
amount to more than $1,00O,000, which
would wipe out all but approximately
$4,000 of the estimated surplus.
The auditors statement that the leg
islature of 1921 appropriated something
over $4,000 more than has been or
will be used is sad commentary on the
judgment of those in charge of these APP
preparations even though the taxpayers
are fortunate in being saved that
amount.
Considering them from all angles, The
Reformer can find nothing in the Gates
figures to cause revision of its opinion
as to the vital need of curtailing state
expenses, which for the year just closed
exceeded those of the previous period
by more than $4,000 and are likely to
run very close to estimated revenue for
the current year despite the doubled di-
rect tax.

RITTER CARS.

There are several factors contributing
to the unprecedented activity in automo-
bile sales One of them, of course, is
the downward revision of prices which
began early in the year. There is an
other to which the general public has not
given much thought, but to which the
manufacturers are now trying to call
more attention.
This is the higher quality in the cars
themselves. There have been advances
in design, operation and performance
which are taken for granted today, but
were hardly dreamed of a few years ago.
Cranking used to be necessary on all
makes of cars. 1t is rare today. There
are also improved clutch operation, in
creased power from cylinder placement,
more miles to the gallon of gas, more
accessibility to parts and less getting
under" Grease cups, springs and tires
have all come under the magic of scienti-
fic improvement.
Altogether there is little wonder that
more cars are demanded every month
than in the preceding month. To the
public the manufacturers say that this
improving process has just begun. The
next few years are to see still greater
refinements and economies, greater dura-
bility and service as well as comfort and
beauty.

A citizen of Wakefield, Mass, having
failed to provide proper food and shell
ter for his horse. was ordered by the
Judge of the court which found him
guilty to turn the horse out to pasture
and sleep two nights in the horses stall.
In order to make the punishment fit the
crime even better, the judge should
have ordered that breakfast and supper
be omitted also. Perhaps few more
righteous judgments scattered judi
ciously around the country would cause
a notable improvement in the treatment

FEMININE RULE.

''The women will rule the nation"
says George Horace Lorimer, EDITOR of
the Saturday Evening Post.
He does not agree at all with those
who say that woman suffrage has merely
doubled the national voting power with
out any appreciate effect on the politi-
cal situation. Women are changing the
situation, he maintains, right along. And
they are doing it by the infusion of a
moral element that was lacking when
they entered politics.
THE woman is voting her convic-
tions," he explains ANY question with
a moral issue is getting the general sup
port of the women"
If woman is really voting her own
convictions instead of voting according
to party tradition, or at the behest of
party leaders, after the usual manner
Of male voters, there certainly viii be
a change. And there are evidences of
that very thing in recent elections and
primaries, if one looks for them in the
light of Mr.. Lorimer's suggestion.
Woman ought to infuse a superior
morality into politics, anyway. 1t is
what she has always stood for in private
life.
It need not be inferred that women are
