None from Kentucky

In glancing over the December
10th issue Of the Weather, Crop
and Markets issued by the De-
partment of Agricuttue which
gives car load shipments of fruits
and vegetables of all the states,
we see no apples were shipped
from Kentucky either this year
or last season. New York with
1882 car loads leads all other
States three fold. Michigan ex.
ported $3.50 car loads while
Maine was third of the states
with 1906 car loads. In all of the
vegetables listed KENTUCKY S
shipping none of them. This is
probably one reason why the
Kentucky farmer is less prosper.

There is more money in raising
apples than tobacco, and more in
producing a good crop of onlons
and potatoes than corn. Straw

borne in mind that while the total tax
rate this year will be 80 cents a thous-
and more than last, the amount avail
able for the towns use will be II cents
a thousand less, or approximately 3d.
800. Last year the state tax was 20
cents and the town tax (including the
special 20 cents voted to reduce liabili-
ties) 60 cents. This year the state tax
is 40 cents and the town tax 80 cents.
Assuming that the village tax of last
year Gao cents) and the incorporated
school district tax 100 cents) are not
changed, The Meddler figures that this
years total tax rate for residents within
the village and school district will be
S27.70 a thousand, and for outside resi-
dents $3.50 thousand.
Perhaps this isn't a bad time to con-
slider what this 40-eent state tax means
to Brattleboro On grand list very
close 10 $4,000 tone per cent of &c.
100000 property valuation) this tax
will take out of this town for use of the
state government something over $50
600. Add to this the state school tax of
10 cents and the state highway tax Of
five cents and we find that Brattleboro's
total contribution to the state treasury
for the current year will be between
$4,000 and $50,000-more, in fact,
than the entire county of Lamoille will
contribute, and more than any other
town or city will contribute with the
exception of Burlington and Rutland.
These figures show in concrete form
just how directly the question of econ
omy in state administration affects ev-
cry local taxpayer, and how important
il is for Brattleboro to do its part in
sitting on the lid when the next legis-
lature is in session.

FRIDAY. MARCH 10, 1922.
NATURALIZATION CHANGES.

The johnson naturalization bill, now
pending in congress with a good pros
pect of enactment, would make more
changes in the citizenship laws than have
been made for a century. The principal
changes contemplated are as follows:
1. The registration of all aliens four
times yearly during their residence in
the United States for at least five years
before they become citizens.
> The creation of independent citi-
zenship for women.
3. The repeal of the amendment of
1906 requiring a certificate of arrival
t. A requirement that witnesses need
appear before federal examiner with
the applicant only once.
The first, and perhaps the most i'm
portant, is intended to insure that can
-didates for citizenship shall have resided
in the United States for the full FIVE
year period required. There can be NJ
doubt of that, with such checking up.
The second is a natural development
from woman suffrage, and viii remove
the injustice of making woman auto
matically a citizen of the same country
as her husband, regardless of birth and
preference.
The third merely does away with a
provision which was meant for the same
purpose as the first of these new regula.
tions, and which has worked badly.
j The fourth change, the purpose OF
which is to save trouble that is consid.
e<ed unnecessary, appears to be the
i least vital, though perhaps justifable
Altogether the new plan ought to work
much better than the old in establishing
adequate safeguards for naturalization
and making aliens appreciate their new
citizenship when they gain Il.

MORE WORK.

Reports from 231 of the principal
centers with but few exeep-
lions show a general Improvement in en-
ployment conditions, and breathe an en-
thusiastic spirit of hope and confidence
in the future. Weather permitting,
March will begin an era of great activ-
ity." So says a report from the employ
ment service of the department of labor.
Weather is one factor in the upward
trend of business. Industrial settle
ments between capital and labor form
another. and perhaps the most impor-
tant. Wherever there still exist difficult
ties and unsettled disputes, now is the
time to get them settled on some sort
of workable basis that will carry through
the next year. With everything ready
to move. strikes, lockouts and deadlocks
intolerable situations. The
public is in a mood of little patience
with this sort of thing. 1t wants justice
done and wants it done quickly. Where
absolute justice cannot be arrived at,
in the view either of employer or en-
ploye, the next best thing is COM
promise, some sort of modus vivendi
which will permit both sides to carry on,
for their own benefit and that of every
body not directly concerned.
