system. to the. number of commissions
nor to the special appropriations. The
spending of Vermont money for little in
return is done chiefly by few depart
ments which have built up big bureaus
TO do business that was better done Il
few years ago with less than one-quarter
of the present overhead.
The worst offenders are the depart
ment of education and the department
Of highways. These two can be easily
reduced 100000 a year and probably
100000 without the least detriment to
the services. Following as fast as it
can in the footsteps of these Is the new
county health officer arrangement which
is an expensive failure. 1t has taken
away the health officers in most of the
towns and gives them nothing in return
except a county health officer so far away
that he cannot be reached when needed.
The Banner is inclined to suspect
that the fish and game department needs
watching and that there are already a
few men on the pay roll who are not do
ing much to earn their money but this
department has not yet gone so far
astray as the others.
What the state needs is a firing squad
not to shoot the accused against a
blank wall at sunrise but to shoot them
off the state pay roll even if it does hurt
the feelings of few chronic salary
hunters who have been supported by the
state of Vermont.

The Brattleboro Reformer is inclined
to the opinion that the present highway
policy, with its three-man commission in
the place Of one layman commissioner, is
unsatisfactory because it entails too
much expense on the state.
In this part of the state" the con-
temporary says, ''there IS plenty of open
talk about the highway department. No
body has to go behind barn to hear it
said that it is so loaded down with map
makers and other experts that it over
flows into the capitol corridors and makes
necessary the printing of several extra
menus at the Pavilion hotel General
opinion, talked right out in the open, is
that the department with all its trim
mings isn't doing any more for the roads
than Stod Bates, with all his shortcom-
ings, succeeded in doing"
Which is an interesting and exag-
gerated way of putting one side of this
issue. Of course, it is not a matter of
Stod Bates and his shortcomings. Stod
Bates was a good public official, but he
was handicapped by the very one-man
system of which he was the head In
stead of being on top Of the job, the job
was on top of him, just as it would have
been of any human being, for the simple
reason that there is no one man on the
face of the globe who could handle prop
erly and efficiently the many sided work
of the department.
Nor is it exactly fair to make a COM
pariSon between what has been accom-
pIished under the new plan and what
went on before. The time element must
be considered. The one-man policy had
been in existence for years and years. If
it was successful, why all the complaint
about the roads? The very fact that the
people We're not sales.--future not salts
fed today-with the condition of the
highways is proof that the old system
was not adequate. Why then advocate a
return to it unless one wants to continue
the dissatisfaction on the part of the pub.

A senate committee has favorably re-
ported Representative Upton's house
bill providing that the institution known
as the East Louisiana Hospital for
the Insane be hereafter called the
East Louisiana State hospital" The
purpose of the measure is to drop the
word insane" and it is a kindly and
thoughtful suggestion. The objection

have been used in the beginning its en-
ployment being born of callOused old
custom of the land which, we are glad
to say, has been disappearing in recent
years. Little difference it makes to the
person who is not or who has not been
confined in such an institution what it is
called, but to the less fortunate it makes
big difference. The specialists in
charge deal largely with psychological
problems and it is highly important that
the patient be kept free from all depres-
sing Influences. Certainly it does not
help the patient to be constantly remind
ed that he is in hospital for the insane"
and upon dismissal it must be humihating
to confess that he has been an inmate of
such place.
Once it was popular to call hospitals
of this sort ''insane asylums and the
practice still prevails to regrettable
extent. If there is anything at all in the
theory that cheerful environment is a
requisite of proper treatment such ugly
measures of identification should never
be used. Yet an insane asylum is but

MILITARY TRAINING
CAMPS ASSOCIATION

Tennessee has only secured 81
percent of her quota for the Citi-
-zens' Military Training Camps,
which will be held in the fourth
corps area this summer. This
places Tennessee near the last
place among the eight States in the
area. There are more than $50 va
cancies yet to be filed and b. O..
Riley, as vice president of the Mil
itary Training Camps Association
in charge of the civilian agencies
assisting the Government in re-
-cruiting work, urges the citizens of
the State to get behind this move
ment and urge the young men to
take advantage of the opportunity
to equip themselves at Government
expense for greater service in case
of emergency. Because Tennessee
and some of the other States have
been slow in recruiting their quota,
the War Department has extended
the time until June l5 in which 10
do this work.
Emphasis is being placed on the
fact that young men who attend
these camps will have a fine oppor-
tunity to engage in all kinds of
atheletios snd have good time up-
der proper guidance, in addition 10
receiving. army instruction with all
expenses paid, and that they will
benefit greatly mentally and physi-
cally. Any young men over seven
teen years of egeis eligible for the
red or elementary course, while the
more advanced courses are design
ed for men with some experience or
boys who attended camp last sum-
mer.

~ to the cost Of living.
1t has analyzed 29 industries
with the help of reliable experts,
aud finds such astonishing facts as
these:
In the total 29 industries the So
called protection given these few
manufacturers was $2,663,0O 900,
which increased as it passed
through the hands Of wholesalers,
retailers, ETC., until it cost the con.
sumers S4,74l,0O0,OOO, a greater
sum than was levied in any one
year from taxes during the great
war; and yet this amount went en-
tirely to manufacturers aud dealers,
directly out of the pockets Of the
public.
The Government collected only
$53, 100000 in revenue on imports
of these products in 1914, and $685.
100000 in 1920. Was there ever
such terrible burden put upon
people with so little benefit going
to the Government?
These industries make textiles,
hosiery, collerseand cuffs, cutlery,
clocks and watches, hardware, china
and glassware, and other things
commonly bought in our stores
the necessaries of life.
The hosiery manufacturers, for
instance, were given a false protec-
&ion in 1919 of $l92,00O,OO0. which
cost the consumers 1854, 100000,
and the Government collected only
$600,000 in 1919; and $4,000 in
1920. We make hosiery and knit
goods cheaper than any other coup-
try in the world. We exported
$6l 100000 in 1920 against only
SIS, GIT 900 of imports. Our silk
hosiery is retailed freely in Paris,
and our cheap cotton socks have
been cold as low as fifty cents per
dozen pairs at the mill. The hos
iery people are commonly under
stood to get close together on prices
they have made tremendous profits.
Think of the u. s. Government ad.
ding $384,000,000 to our hosiery
bill under the name of protection.
So our cotton manufacturers got
$5T 100000 to add to their prices,
which amounted to 81 ,114,0
by the time it reached the consum-
er, and the. Government collected
on cotton imports in 1919 only $15,-
100000, and in 1920 $50, 100000.
There is this difference, however,
that cheap domestic cottons are
sold abroad today st as low price
as the domestic price, and the cot
ton manufacturers do not add the
duty to the price of cheap cotton,
and the people escape part Of this
possible tax.
In many trades, however, the en-
tire duty is added to the domestic
price.
Files, for instance, carry heavy
duty, which domestic manufacture
ers add to their prices, and then
ship abroad at 20 per cent. less than
they charge domestic users. 1t u.s.
