Too Much Supervision.
waterbury Record)

We have sometimes wondered ii the
school system in Vermont is not get
ting just little top heavy SO far as
supervision is concerned. Big bust
ness has gone through a period of
our systematizing and finds itself
with an overhead charge which. is not
at all agreeable to confront during
these times. Such huge profits have
been made during the past few years
that the system idea has been allow
ed to run wild. How to overcome
some of these new tangled notions
and regulate matters so as to get this
and that business onto a real paying
basis is a problem that will take
common sense to figure out and will
not be done by crowd who pose as
artists or specialists in running a
business by system.
Some of the leading manufacture
ers of the New England states will
tell you that the time has arrived
to cut out too much red tape which
means this-too much system. Our
notion of the educational frame up
in Vermont is, that it contains more
system than is absolutely necessary
and the time has come to cut and cut
deep so far as a whole lot of super
VISIOu Is concerned. quite lew poO-
pie are wondering if all this extra
supervision is worth the price. Frank
ly, we think it is not. Don't believe
the results are worth so per cent and
in some instances 100 per cent. more
than the Mason S. Stone plan.
The educational system in Vermont
that is, from our view point, is fur
nishing too many jobs~to tell teach
ers how to teach. Some had suppos-
ed that the type of teachers who are
holding down jobs today acquired
this knowledge before attempting to
teach. Their certificate to teach
should be and we believe is, the pass
word of their qualification. Just nat
ural and it is quite the style TODAY
to tell the other fellow just how to
do it. Too many bosses make things
rather uncomfortable and results
sometimes questionable.
We would like to see the figure of
just how much is being paid out in
Vermont for supervision of schools
Rather suspect that it would be start
ling. The information would be time
ly and right in keeping with similar
Investigations which are being made
by many of the big corporations
throughout the New England states.

Republican Settling Down"
(Rutland Herald)

Vive President Calvin Coolidge
summed up several notable accom-
plishments of the Harding admins
tration in his Brooklyn speech, but
the most significant might perhaps
be enumerated as follows:
Government employees reduced by
nearly 10000;
Army reduced by $4,000 and navy
accordingly;
Annual budget reduced by about a
billion and a half;
Further reduction of half a billion
promised for next fiscal year;
Finances back nearly to pre-wa1
basis, barring costs imposed by war;
Keeping the country out of Europe;
Getting the government out of the
shipping business.
These are the phases that appeal
chiefly to business men, and indicate
in gratifying way that the policy
of the ADMINISTRATION is toward nor.
NAL conditions and away from the
cost and waste of war.
If Congress would adjourn and stay
adjourned for the rest of the year
Dawes, Mellon and the rest of the
big men who are putting their brains
to the problem of restoring sanity to
government finance would have a
chance to show what they could do,
and very clearly they are getting
along pretty well, despite the ten
dency of Congress to run wild on ap-
preparations.
We don't know of a single thing
that better illustrates the attitude of
the Harding administration.

A census of World war veterans
by the American Legion is an under
taking which deserves the support of
every citizen and especially the vet
Grams themselves. Too often those
who are most directly concerned in
such a movement or portion OF
them, will show such apathy and I'M
concern as to make the work very
difficult for those who undertake it.
If we recall correctly more than
1000 Orleans county men are con-
cerned in this movement and those
who have it in charge are anxious
that every single man who served
his country in any capacity whatso-
ever during the World war be record
ed, with a complete history of his
service, present physical condition
and needs. 1t may be for the decid-
ed interest of the veteran himself
that he be included in the census.

comes to the imposition of the state,
state school, state highway and coun-
ty taxes, all figured at uniform per-
centage on the grand list through
out the state, the towns with low
appraisals cheat" the others and gain
an unfair and unjust pecuniary adj
vantage. They are all getting wise
to this, with the result of a constant
ly lowering basis of valuation as COM
pared with selling values. The in
centlve is greater, now that state
taxes absorb so much of the public
revenues levied locally. There is a
present law on the statute. books in
tended to prevent this, but compli-
Gated machinery renders it substan-
TALLY null. One effective remedy
would be to devise other methods
than direct grand list taxation for
meeting state expenses. This is quite
some problem in their present pro-
portions, but could be attacked with
a measure of success If the state SO
desired. A graduated direct inner
ltance tax or an income tax, both OF
which are no strangers in other
states, would provide large revenues
Another method, worth consideration
if we are to continue the present
system, would be to introduce spe-
cial appraisal, entirely separate from
the town appraisals for the purposes
of state taxation. Has anyone ever
been bold enough to suggest the
abolition of the town as unit OF
taxation, the 1evying of uniform
county tax, the apportionment of the
revenues according to the claims and
needs of particular communities, with
the possibilities of aid to the smaller
and burdened localities and benefits
in administration that might ensue
Has it ever occurred to anyone that
for hundred square miles and less
population than many a moderate
sized city Vermont has a good many
wheels and wheels within wheels
when it comes to the handling of pub
lie affairs

PRESS CLIPPINGS
Not Nominating a County.
Randolph Herald and News)


Statistics-that bugbear of parti-
san politics-have already been in
volved to demonstrate why this
county should have the governorship
because it hasn't had it for fifty
years, and another should not be-
cause it has had several governors
within half that period. We are re-
minded of an incident that occurred
in the celebrated Grout-Stickney
nominating convention of 1896. Some
one had been making long recital
Of these statistics to establish the
indubitable right of Orleans county
to name the candidate. Up jump
ed about seven feet of old Hiram A.
Huse, with beak like an eagle, and
shouted, "Mr. Chairman, we are not
here to nominate county, but to
naminate a MANI" Let's go about
this very important business this
year as we would if it were our own
private affair, as if we were the state
of Vermont and had to select it's ex-
ecutive head for the next two years.
Away with all petty considerations.
Let us dispense with every bit of per-
sonal favor or prejudice and select
the man whom we honestly regard
as best fitted for the job. What
ever the choice, let it be made on the
basis of calm judgment, in the light
that we have

For a Different Tax System.
(Randolph Herald and News


Staunch defenders of our present
system of state taxation are mighty
few. Apologists are more numerous,
while the general attitude seems to
be one of despair at ever getting any
thing much better. Listing visible
property, and such other kinds as
are owned up to, at varying scale
of valuation, and using such an ap-
praisal as the basis for all general
taxation, both state and local, is both
crude and unfair. Crude because it
is incomplete; unfair because it is in
adequate as between individual tax
payers. One of the worst injustices
arises from the custom of partial val
ue appraisals. Designating the
plain letter of the law. listers inven-
tory property not at it's true selling
value, but at an admitted lower seal
ing, usually from fifty to seventy
five per cent. This relates especially
to real estate. If all listers of all
towns adopted the same scale and
listed property accordingly it
wouldn't be so bad, but while one en-
ters it at perhaps. fifty per cent,
another scales at seventy-five. Even
then there might not be any great
equality were it not that when it

Glover is community worth
watching. Last week a cooperative
maple sugar marketing concern was
organized there which promises to
point the way to better prices and a
wider market for good maple prod
ucts. Now comes the announcement
of the "Glover Community club an
organization which can mean much to
any community. Glover had drlv-
ing club last winter which put that
place on the map to considerable
degree and Glover has a Community
church which is a model in it's method
of serving the town. In the Clark
King and kindred families association
is also another strong organization
which is peculiar to Glover.
