A Good Investment
BARRE Times)

The Bellows Falls village corporation
has not yet started to realize on its small
investment in setting out spruce trees,
which was started thirteen years ago and
which has been continued at times since
then, but it has spruces 10 and II feet
high and growing rapidly. 1t has, all
told. more than 10000 trees in the pro
cess of development. When Bellows Falls
gets ready to cash in on this tree invest
ment it win find that it will have q con-
siderable income to supplement the re-
turns from taxation. or the burden of tax
alton may be lightened to marked ue-
gree. The situation emphasizes again
that municipal corporations having some
waste land could not do better than TO
set out soft wood trees on that land and
let nature do the rest.

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

Mary Garrett Hay. addressing the
League of Women Voters at Baltimore,
frankly declared that the women wanted
more offices. There should be many
more women legislators and congress-
men," she said. women should have
equal part with men on party commit
tees
Commenting on this, the New York
World says: Are these aspirations, in
the last analysis, materially different
from the aspirations of Tammany or of
the Philadelphia Republican machine?
They too want more of their representa-
tives in office, III order to give the organ
ization greater efficiency in government.
They too regard the number of represent
atives serving them in the legislatures
and in congress and on party committees
as the measure of their political eff
cheney"
This is hardly fair. Women, now half
the voters, have been promised a square
deal in politics, and a square deal GER
tainly ought to give them good deal
larger representation than they have yet
obtained in our political machinery.
They need not be deferred in their eff
forts, either, by the charge of practical
politics. That term can mean what
ever anybody wants it to mean. 1t is
generally recognized that women have
pretty high political ideals, and if they
can realize those ideals in our public life
by practical means, more power to
them!
There are plenty of able women. For
the present, at least. the women active
in public life are probably of better cal
iber, on the average, than are the men in
public life. Where they have gone into
Office legislative or executive, they have
usually improved things Few dispas-
sionate observers are likely to believe
that they would do any worse than the
men have done. They may do better
The combination, too, of men and women
in public affairs may raise the standards
and efficiency of both.

Decide for Daylight Saving
bennington Banner)

Bennington goes on the daylight saving
schedule tomorrow to continue until the
first of October. With Massachusetts and
New York towns and cities on the day
light schedule it would be unwise for Ben
ningtOn to attempt to stick to standard
time. More than that the daylight saving
plan is far better for an industrial town
as it gives to the factory confined people
an outdoor vacation every night in sum
mer which they cannot get in any other
way The marked decrease in the preva-
lence and spread of tuberculosis in Ben
ningtOn and in the textile towns of Mas
sachusetts the past few years is more due
to the daylight saving system than to any
other one thing.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1922-05-02

Bennington is the only Vermont town
to set its clocks ahead to conform to the
daylight saving law, which is uniform in
Massachusetts, and only two towns in
New Hampshire, Nashua and Derry,
have set sun time aside. Bennington has
tried out daylight saving and finds it
works out to advantage. 1t may be ex-
planned in part perhaps by the fact that
Remington is in closer touch in a bust
ness way with Massachusetts towns on
the south and New York towns on the
east than with neighboring Vermont
towns on the west and north.
