Rutland Herald Says High
way Funds Should Not
Be Divided

The Rutland Herald quotes the fol-
lowing editorial from The Reformer and
makes editorial comment on towns and
Capitalization in Vermont.
Restore to towns administration of
local affairs. and oppose Capitalization
and paternaIism. - State Republican
piatform.-Does this mean the repeal OF
the $4,000 Appropriation for town
highways other tnan trunk lines? The
state cannot afford To build local roads
that the towns themselves cannot afford.
The Herald, of course, does not know
what was in the minds Of the committee
on resolutions when it framed the fore
going quotation, but the trend of the
discussion would lead to the belief that
nothing ike depriving the towns of high
way aid was intended.
At the recent meeting of the state no
tel men in Manchester, Secretary Black
highway funds for maintenance and re
building were being whitfield away by
each successive legislature, one instance
of which is the foregoing.
The Herald believes it is shOrtSighted
business for the state to cut up appro-
priations in this manner. Automobile
funds designed for the main or trunk
lines ought not to be diverted to back
roads. and the tendency of things today
is toward the states taking over the
trunk lines and giving back to the towns
their back roads, to be built and main
tanned by local taxation.
The highway laws today are sort of
Chinese puzzle to the average taxpayer,
who has no really definite idea where
his money is being spent and who often
comes TO the legislature with vague
idea in his mind that his town is not be-
ing fairly treated in the disbursement of
highway mone- and the carrying on of
highway work.
1t was such Il feeling that resulted in
the appropriation of S150,000 for back
roads. a further confusion and muddling
Of the plan which still further prevents
any ones knowing just exactly where
state highway money is going.
What the small towns want, of course,
is for the state to take over all the trunk
lines and maintain them out of state
funds, vet keep on with state aid for the
other roads just the same. In short,
they are undertaking to eat their cake
and have it. too. 1t is an impossible
economic proposition and there is great
need for clarifying and codifying this
highway muddle so that the funds viii

be kept where they belong.
As TO the broader question of cen
tralizatlon, the chances are that what
the committee aimed at was the tendency
OF the towns, under existing laws. to
pass the buck to the state, neglecting
or refusing to do their part III the adj
ministration of public business
The administration of the schools is
case in point. BY stretching the idea
of state supervision entirely out of its
original intention, many towns are sim
ply raising the money, hiring the teach
ers recommended. making the proper re-
pairs. paying the bills and then kicking
vigorously.
The supervision provisions of the law
did not contemplate anything of this
kind, yet We find supervisors in Ver-
monts forty-Odd districts doing practi-
cally all the work formerly done by the
local school boards, even to buying sup
plies and virtually hiring teachers. Sup
erviSion was not designed to take over
the functions of town government, and
the law might very well be amended so
as to return to towns the business of
running their own schools; not that they
cannot run them now, but to amend the
law so they would practically be com
PEELED to do so.
One way talked of for doing this is
the enlargement of supervision districts
and reduction of the number of super
yisors. with some definition of their pow
ers looking to the above ends
Then there is the care OF unfortunate
paupers under the socalled fifty-fifty
law, which provides that the towns may
have them taken care of by state au-
thoritieS, the state paying one half and
the tOwDS-~eaying one half toward the
expense This has resulted in Il numb
of children and paupers being ''shunted"
on to the states list of activities. the
expenses of the state board of charities
and probation having increased from ten
thousand dollars when it was instituted
to nearly seventy thousand dollars nc.
cording to the statement recently filed
with the auditor.
1t has been urged that the towns vii
not do their duty when cases of neglect
and delinquency appear unless compelled
by state authority. and it may be so.
hut the alternative of the states not
only caring for the insane. feeble
minded. criminal and delinquent. but
also becoming a foster-mother for all
unfortunates. is too big a program TO
continue.
Hence very positive and definite dis
cussion here and there of materially
changing the law in regard to the opera
tiorAS of this board.
The steady tendency of government =
toward Capitalization in state and fed
eral units. PerhapS the time has come
for Vermont to check it where it stands

 In reality then, the community is only asked to pay q nominal sum fof very few executive specialists to serve it's boy workers and to respon- sibly conserve the name, interests and extension of the moN ement, and fur ther modest sum for such general camp or other activity equipment which individual troops do not have, and also certain amounts for public ity and office and training and travel ing operations and extensions, mci- dental to the major purpose.
 Modest as are these needs 1t is fun damental to right approach to the problem of this financing scouting in q community to remember that money is not being sought for an outside or ganizati0n coming in but rather foi making available a method, program for the community to use within it. self to help bring out the good in its boys.
 True, in recent years, the plan and practice of national quotas has grown up-but these modest quotas a1e giv- en for fundamentally the same req s0n--to help make possible the re- seaich and literature and other nat ional field service rendered to all communities and to permit these ben efits to be made available to eOmmun- ities and boys not yet receiving them.
 How Scouting is Financed.
 The community is dependent upon voluntary contributions for it's money for scouting. These must be provided by the adults-the boys may not be used to secure finances for the com
 unity.
 Feeiing that every person in Hol5look wishes to share in this an opportunity to do so Is before you. Bonds have been pre, pared and will be presented to you for sale by the finance committee

 You invest your money for shares of preferred stock in the future eiti- of Holtrook by investment in our boyhood through the lccal move ment of the Boy Scouts of America. Dividends will be paid in American ism and character.
 HOlbr0ok must willingly and gen erously make this investment in man hood. The problem is before Us. When called upon by the committee, let each one be prepared to do his or her share.
