The Barber Plan.
lRutland Herald. }

The plan suggested by Representative
Barber of Brattlboro, chairman of the
appropriations committee, as a remedy
for conditions which produced the re-
cent orgy of money spending in the legis-
lature. is simple enough. 1t includes in
its essentials two things:
l. An executive budget. providing for
the fixed charges of the state only:
> Right of way for the budget over
all other bills carrying appropriations.
This, OF course Is exactly contrary
to the usual plan. The budget, although
carefully drawn and duly laid before
the Legislature, is considered last-after
all other special appropriations have
been taken care of. That is TO say. the
pork bloc" consisting of every member
with something to put over gets every
thing else considered and acted on before
the actual and necessary expenses of
government are voted.
This is essentially a vicious and dan
gerouS plan. So much so, that the mem
bers of the house were informed, a year
ago. before the budget had been presen-
ted. that a tiftCen-cent tax would prob
ably cover the expense of government.
Then came the delugc of special-interest
legislation, carrying appropriations large
and small, so that by the time the state
tax came up for consideration a sixty
cent tax was voted that has proved to
be insufficient.
\ member of the ways and means
committee was quoted as saying, at that
time, that the tax for the present bien-
NAL period should have been one dollar.
Evidently he was right.
1t wouldn't hurt to try the Barber
plan. The Herald does not believe that
any plan will be successful that is not
understood in advance by the people and
concerning which they have not given
their mandate to their representatives.
but certainly a budget, prepared by the
governor and delivered with his inaug-
ural message, ought to receive some at
tention, especially if it We're protected
bv a Joint rule that required it to be
acted on before other appropriations
could be considered.
For such a plan the state needs "a n
governor who viii stand to aud abide
by the program with a free use of the
veto power; (2) a legislature pledged
and directed thereto by a mandate
passed at town meeting. 1t will take
some getting to secure such combina-

BOOZE AS MEDICINE.

If the medicinal status of alcoholic
liquor is 70 be determined finally by any
body, il is by the medical profession.
The American Medical association has
Just been conducting a QUESTIONABLE to
see what its members think about this
live problem. SO far the answers pub
lishcd cover eight states-Idaho, Kan
saS. Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska,
Rhode Island, Indiana and Illinois.
These states seem representative, and
the results should be.
A majority of all the physicians heard
from. 2,743 to 2,524, say that they do
not consider whiskey a necessary cura-
tive agent.
As regards beer and wine the testi-
mony is more emphatic. Only 1,404
physicians declare that beer has medici-
nal value, to 3,S3S who say it has not
Wine as n medicine is upheld by 1882
and opposed by 1924.
II will be remembered, too, that Q
large number of the doctors are of The
"old school," which was taught to be
lieve in the therapeutic value of alcohol
The younger generation of doctors has
no ingrained preference, and is mostly
against it.
As long as doctors disagree, patient:
may be pardoned for doing likewise, bu
the handwriting on tire drugstore wal
seems very plain.

Americans are accustomed to giving
themselves the palm for ingenuity in The
perfection and use of mechanical de-
vices, and have been especially proud of
developing handy household appliances.
The electrical household" is regarded
as a peculiarly American institution.
And here comes word of an electrified
house in the Rue dAthenes, in Paris,
that puts to shame all American efforts
in his direction.
Il is the home of VI. Franchette, pres
ident of the French Society for the
Study of Wireless Telegraphy and Tel
ephony. and what he has done there
won'd certainly have got him burnt as
a scPrcr in past ages.
| At 4. N. the house wakes up for the
| day. The shutters of NJ. Franchette's
windows swing open automatically and
! his curtains draw back. while an alarm
Ih-I 0skleS. Water heats for his bath.

Doors open at his approach and shut
after him. One after another, the activ-
titles of the house take care of them
selves, actuatcd mostly by wireless
waves from the EiTel Tower station. If
he wants to talk to a fellow-scientist,
anywhere. he just picks up a receiver
and goes ahead. When he wants music,
an invisible band plays for him or the
worlds best artists sing for him. Nearly
all the ordinars operations of home life
are performed by pressing a button or
moving q lever.
And that is probably the way all OF

farm workers possess considerably more
vigor. or at least ''vim, than the men
workers are able to show. Think of the

which as in the case of these girls. is
proudly and ioyously done and that of
poor old Hodge, who hates it all, and
gToans and sasps, and would not work
at all but for the whip of hard necessity.
