Is Democracy A Failure?

Editor The Register
In olden times the legislature Of
Vermont had some control over the
appropriation of money Now i'll the
board of control and the various com
missions we have something which can
override the legislature A bill to APP
propriate money to build certain
bridge in this county was killed in the
House but the tripartite highway
commission came down with the
dough The legislature fixed the sal
AIRY of the state superintendent of ed
uCatlon at a certain amount but the
writer is informed that the board of
education raised the salary to a greater
amount. 1t seems that the board of
control puts up buildings at the var
iOuS institutions without any regard
for the legislature What is this but
a confession that democracy is a fail
ure. Theodore Roosevelt spoke of Ger
tain men as undesirable citizens" and
he might with equal propriety have
said deteStable citizens There are
vampires and parasites in the world,
which come to you i'll sleeps cloth
ing Why is it that the people acting
through their chosen representative
have no control over these matters?
From the very first organization of our
government there have been two fac
tons One of which was very dis
trustful of the common people. The
words uttered by Lincoln at the battle
of Gettysburg still ring out Shall
government of the people, for the peo-
pie, by the people perish from the face
to the earth?" Yours truly,
Cornwall, Vt. +. II. WARNER

Congress Restores Appropriation
Necessary To Give What Is
Known As Village Service

Washington, Jan. l6.-Seven Mary
land towns with what is known as
"village mail delivery service" will
now rest easier. The House restored
the $l,500,000 necessary to preserve
that service on recommendation of the
committee, after the committee had
originally cut the amount to $780,
900. The about-face action came as a
direct result of the storm of protest
from the villages" Maryland towns
included.

ing, Ocean City, Princess Anne and
Snow Hill all have the so-called vii
lage delivery service and all are now
in like amount relieved of any threat
