According to long established precedent, Justice Watson, who stands next to Chief J-'stlcc Munson. will likely 'jo promoted to the vacancy caused by the latter .j te'irement, and It goes without saying that he will maintain tho proud tradltioiu of Vermont courts. There will be- a M ramble for tho election at the fool of tin' list of Justices growing out of the e.evation of all the present members one M'i each, and the few weeks of the J.eslsla'ure pieoeding the election of jus tices will naturally be occupied In part with canvassing for the vacancy at the foot of the Judicial ladder. Why will not this be a good time to cut down the i mber of Judges In our Vermont couits Hi- a whole In some way and thus meet the growing demand for greater economy In court expenses" In our list ot supreme court judges, superior Judges and munici pal judges, Vermont has one complete set of Judges too many. We should at the very least appoint no new ones. WHAT AIIOUT om III.I.MH Is Vermont doing its duty by Its blind'.'

LARGER SUPPLIES TO REMEDY HIGH COST OF LIVING. Tho people of tho United Strttos to-day nre doubtless Kill m iik a I'oretasto of tho food conditions which will prevail u half century or no hence. Tho situation wowing out of belliKorent Europo's nbnormal demand for foodstuffs has ear ned tho American people into the future nnd shown them tho problems which later on will confront this nation. Then in stead of tho palsied productivities of the old word a doubled population of our own will clamor for cheap food. The till able land of America is now mostly in hand. When this na tion comprises from 175,000,000 to 200,000,000 souls, it will bejdn to realize something of the struggle for mere food which sooner or later will mean a crisis in the United States. At the present lime we are going at this question "wrong end to." Instead of seeking to devise ways and nif'nns of in creasing production, wc are acting to diminish consumption nnd so discourage suppl'es. A moment's thought will show this statement to be true, whether we directly stop the con suming of certain kinds of food through a boycott by such agencies as the National Housewives' League, or whether we accomplish the same thing indirectly by forcing down prices Unnaturally through government action, and so dis courage production by making it unprofitable. Some time the people of the United States will be con fronted by the stern necessity of making two bushels of corn and wheat grow where one grows now; by the necessity of draining swamp land and wet, soggy soil so that it can be made to produce ; by the necessity of feeding stock instead of pasturing and thus throwing into crop-producing fields all pasture lands capable of being tilled ; by the necessity of in tensive fanning nnd crop rotation so as to get the most food products possible out of our soil. In the centuries to come after the limit has been reached in these directions and our population has reached 500,000.000 will come the necessity of following the example of Europe in seeking many of our food supplies in distant lands, and later on the actual necessity of profiting from the experience of the Chinese and the Japs in gaining the ability to live without many things we now deem absolute essentials. Until necessity forces us fo act otherwise, however, our principal eflorts arc likely to be directed to the lessening of production. We have just enjoyed the spectacle of a suc cessful boycott by the housewives of America to force clown the prices of turkeys. Many of the local dealers who buy turkeys to ship to market have lost heavily, having paid thirty-eight cents a pound to farmers in not a few parts of the country. They will not be caught that way .again and tho ultimate effect will be to injure the market for turkeys and so discourage farmers' wives from engaging in the risky and troublesome pastime of raising a flock of turkeys. We are not only stopping production by cutting off the demand directly, but we are also clamoring for all sorts of governmental proceedings to handicap our fanners in the pro duction of foodstuffs. Instead of seeking legislation to en courage farmers to increase their harvests Congressman Fitzgerald of Brooklyn proposes seriously to cut off the mar kets of our farmers in certain dh'ections, and thus discourage efforts to enlarge their harvests. While the boycott plan in connection with turkeys and eggs has shown the people they have in their own hands the solution of the problem of extortionate prices in attcmuts to corner scarce food products, thus making the Fitzgerald em bargo plan as unnecessary as it pernicious, a host of men are bringing forward all sorts and conditions of panaceas for the high cost of living. Congressmn McLemore, hero of the famous resolution of the preceding session bearing his name, has a sc-heme to com pel cold storage people to sell ten per cent, of their holdings every thirty days, at prevailing market prices. That idea carried out will eventually drive capital out of the cold stor age business and deprive consumers of the benefits of storing excess supplies against a time of want. Senator J. "Ham" Lewis of Illinois propose? to introduce a bill to give the government authority to seize cornered food products and sell them to the public at reasonable prices. That radical idea is the most socialistic of all propositions yet made in this connection. It only shows the extremities to which the Democratic party's smashing of protection for American industry for the alleged purpose of encouraging in creased production of our farms as well as our factories will ultimately lead this nation. Speaker Clark would combine the two ideas of the private boycott and public regulation by having people live on "mush" to bring down prices, and also pass a federal law to stop slaughter and interstate shipment of calves on the theory that such slaughter is the principal cause of the high cost of beef. Speaker Clark would thus increase the killing of calves, for farmers would simply stop producing veal they could not sell and go on raising only such calves as they need to replen ish their stock as before. It follows that Clark's panacea would help increase the high cost of moat instead of reduc ing it. Clark and his party are reaping the harvest resulting froni the smashing of protection on so many farm products which tended to encourage home production. Instead of looking at the situation squarely some of the democratic leaders are clamoring for an investigation of the high cost of living in all directions and the Wilson adminis tration has fallen in wit;h this idea, possibly for the purpose of avoiding the threatened Fitzgerald embargo. The agri cultural department, the department of justice and the fed eral trade commission are al! expected to bear their share of the difficult task of helping to bring down the cost of living for the consuming public, while also aiding to keep up prices realized by the farmer as a factor of national prosperity. In the meantime Congressman Fitzgerald is pressing his embargo scheme. The Brooklyn congressman has apparent ly correctly diagnosed the case, but his prescription is faulty. He says: "It is not so much a question of price as of sup ply." If that is the case, then a government investigation as to prices ought to lead the Wilson administration straight to measures to encourage the increase of the supplj . and that means republican protection for our American products. Fitzgerald does not get that far, or even in that direction. Instead of seeking to increase production he would prohibit foodstuffs from leaving the United States. He savs in this connection : "Criticisms of the food embargo bill 1 'have pro pared, based upon a comparison with the embargo act of 1807. do not appear to be legitimate. That was a general embargo on all American overseas commerce. I propose an embargo to conserve the American food supplv. There is no precedent for such legislation, yet I do not see anv other effective rem edy for the present situation." Strangely enough Fitzgerald at the outset based his em bargo against lood exports on the idea of retaliation against Great Britain for the hitter's restrictions against American commerce, though he now eschews that reason. The em bargo act of 1807 to which Fitzgerald refers was passed bv Congress on the recommendation of President Jefferson, pro hibiting all international trade, as a penalty upon Britain for aggressions on American commerce. That penalty hit this nation more than the British and was soon abandoned pre cisely as will be the idea of stopping our farm products 'from finding markets outside of America. In addition to federal moves like those outlined to dis courage production we have appeals to State government in some instances to take paternal action. State Commissioner of Food and Markets John J. Dillon of New York would have the Legislature at Albany enact a law to prohibit speculation in foodstuffs, or annul the charter of exchanges that en courage such speculation. Those and other proposals now discussed are aimed at repression of production and not to ward increased supplies the true solution of the whole problem of the high cost of living. i from this city, entered the- t'nlvcrslty of naiTn ftW nn HnnP MfllirW Vermont, and four went to other col- DHNU HlfU UU l?IU 11 1 111 U N L I loses, while the tomnlmler entered vatl- oils business pursuits.
