Vermont Money.
lBennington Banner.

bennington Banner
1t is noted by a circular issued by
the Vermont bank commissioner that
licensed investment companies sold to
VermOnters during the year 1921 securi-
ties amounting to over S27, 900, 900 More
than nine and a half million dollars was
invested in real estate mortgages IN 9th
err states and most of the remaining
eighteen millions was put into stocks
and bonds of various kinds and de-
scriptions, most of which probably went
out of the state. No doubt the greater
share of this money is well invested but
it seems that more Vermont money
ought to be put into the development OF
our own state. A huge amount of the
money in our banks is also invested out
side of the state. when Vermont inter
ests are said to suffer to some extent. Is
there not some remedy for this contin-
ued development of every state except
our own.-Barton Monitor.
According to report, the editor OF
the Monitor is going to the legislature
from Orleans county next winter and
he will have a chance to try his hand
at changing the system. No one knows
how much Vermont money is invested
outside the state but estimates run as
high as four hundred millions of dol
lars which is greater by a third than
all property value assessed for taxation
in Vermont. Certainly an estimate of
25U millions would De extremely con-
servative and is below the truth rather
than above All of this money escapes
taxation in Vermont and every day in
the year there are dozen or more bond
and security statesmen hustling up and
down the state peddling mortgages and
other interest bearing papers, encourag
ing Vermonters to put their money out
side the state and avoid taxation here
The abuse is easily remedied when folks
get ready to face facts instead of chas-
ing rainbows and tagging after silly
theorists instead of paying attention to
the truth of proved experience. Money
is elusive stuff and it cannot be taxed
by the same system that may success
fully be applied to real estate.

LOCAL RESPONSIBILITY.

There has been much talk lately of
cooperation nationally and information
ally, and that is we'll 1t is a tendency
full of hope for the future. But cooper
alton, like charity, begins at home-in
ones own family, on ones own street,
in ones own town.
Herbert Hoover, thinking along this
line in a recent speech and congratu-
lating his audience on the new Ameri-
can capacity for team work, added:
1t is not well that the government
should be constantly calling upon our
people to mobilize for this or that. 1t
is infinitely important that every COM
munity should set up those arrange
mentS that will secure consideration of
the problems of that community, and its
advancement; for when all is said and
done. the success of our government and
people has been not because of our gov
eminent, but even in spite of it.
/ do not think many of us believe the
government should extend its long arm
into business any farther than is absO-
lutely necessary.
In the main, economic wounds are
like wounds in the human body. They
cannot be cured by economic patent med
icines or porous plasters. They must
cure themselves by healing, cell by cell,
and it is the American people who are
the cells that must heal this wound, not
the government.
1t is a sound view; and fortunately it
is a view that is steadily finding ac-
ceptance. Little by little, intelligent
people recognize that prosperity and
happiness are less government matters
than community matters, less political
issues than local and personal issues.
