full blast there comes the
centle reminder that summer is ad-
vancing.
Don'J; fail to follow the series of
articles appearing in this ? paper on
Vermont's government. There is
much of an informative nature in
them about the cost and the work
ings of our state government.
Frederick G. Fleetwood of Morris
ville in the .house of representatives
from the first district of Vermont to
succeed Frank L. Greene would be
pleasing to many Vermonters of the
second district. Here's hoping Fleet
wood goes out after the place.
r "An article in this paper telling- of
the development of Camp Westmore
for girls into a camp with 98 people
in it this season is proof of the claim
this paper has made for years that
Orleans county is ideally situated as
to lakes and sites for boys' and girls'
camps. Willoughby, Memphremagog
and Seymour now have eamps for
young people which are successfully
operating ard. the field is scarcely
touched. There is no question" about
the charm of this section of the state
and l, only awaits the touch of some
person with vision, energy and capi
tal at command to blossom into the
richest summer section in the state,
if not the New England States.
Orleans is to bo most heartily
congratulated on being given first
place in New England in the 5000 in
habitants and less class, for the clean
up and paint up campaign this spring.
"A little pains taken by the citizens
of a village in. keeping yards picked

scattering paper and othe rubbish
about -the streets will do much jto

impression gained from a town where

the care of their own premises. The
care taken by village fathers also
makes a big difference. Whoever is
responsible for organizing Orleans
for the campaign is worthy of much
credit and every citizen - of . Orleans
may take pride in the honor which
has come to their village.
PRESS CLIPPINGS
Judge Wright Commended.
(Stanstead (P. Q.) Journal)
Drunkennness and operating auto
mobiles while drunk seems'to be en
gaging the attention of the municipal
court of Newport as its chief occupa
tion. Let the good work go on.
Judge Wright can be trusted to give
such infractions of the law the,limit.
Calls Last Legislature Bad.
(Burlington Clipper)
One of the state newspapers sug
gests that it would be good policy to
return . members to the next session
of the. legislature. "Nothing doing."
The. last legislature made a bad mess
of almost . everything. It was the
most expensive session in the history
of the state. What is needed is a
new . set of legislators who have some
ideas of old-fashioned New England
thrift and. economy. With but few
exceptions no member of the last leg
islature should be returned to the
next session. .
The Call for Fleetwood
(Rutland Herald)
It has been said that the primary
has largely destroyed that "call to
serve" which was one of the features
of political conditions under the cau
cus law, .that it has placed on the
candidates themselves the need of
initiating the movement for their
nomination. .There may . be some
question about this, but even admit
ting it, there seems to be something
very like the spontaneous demand for
Fred G. Fleetwood of Morrisville to
ruj3 for Congress in the first district.
Hi!" decision to become a candidate
would be mighty important political
news
Opportunity for' Wayside Markets.
(Manchester Journal)
Those who travel by auto can see
the fast growing development of the
wayside market. The opportunity to
sell maple sugar, ice cream, soft
drinks and farm products to tourists
is being taken advantage of-in all the
rural communities of-the state. The
gross income from this source to the
state must be considerable and there
is a field for much further develop
ment. One farmer whose products of
plums and other fruit has . heretofore
been largely wasted, succeeded last
year in selling it all at a good price
by the simple expedient of placing it
on sale by the roadside and this year
he will erect a booth. .
Orleans Takes First Place.
(Barre Times)
Congratulations are due to the pro
gressive community 01 Orleans,
3 -
northern Vermont, for standing first
among New England towns and vil
lages of less than 5,uuu population in
the "cleanliness and brightness" con
test recently " conducted. Orleans
wins recognition through; this leader
ship which will be likely to bring in
substantial returns later on, for the
reputation of being clean and bright
is worth while and the reputation of
being" first in New England in that
respect will bring its commensurate
returns. With Burlington winning
honorable mention7 in :a "similar con
test of larger communities and with
Orleans taking first place among the
smaller communities, Vermont dis
plays marked progress. along splendid
lines. -
Bridge Inspection More Red Tape.
" ' (Barre Times)
Teams automobiles and pedes-
trians probably had been passing over

mat mgnway Driage m mewiwii,
without a thought on tne part or tne
DeoDle that - the bridge was unsafe,
until there came a moment when the
supports of the bridge gave way and
let the bridge fall in part, almost
carrying down two vehicles and their
drivers. ; The incident or accident,
wnicnever way one. is lncunea to ciass
it, raises the query whether it. would
not be good sense for any town to
institute a system of periodic bridge
inspection, to be followed by formal
report on the condition of every
bridge, in the respective towns. In
fact, such a system might welL be
mandatory lest some easy-going town
officials should shirk thai. respo lsibil
ity in the matter. Very frequently we
hear of the collapse of bridges, even
under normal condition of water flow
ago beneath them. Nearly all of
these instances of - collapse could be
eliminated by careful inspection of
the bridges at frequent intervals.
A Sane Road Policy.
(Northfield News )
A man. wnose" opinion is sought by
others said to the editor the other
day that he was sick and tired oi all
the talk abou highways. He believ
ed that good gravel roaqs, graaually
eliminated each year at a reasonable
expenditure, good bridges, roaaway
widened where necessary, limitation
of size of trucks, and time of year
when certain types, of trucks could
use the highways, and the use of oil
or some other substance as a binder,
and more extended patrol service
would solve Vermont's problem i and
that no more and in faevnot as much
money need be expended as now. A
highway engineer ol some promi
nence in commenting on the forego
ing said was a rational statement of
the whole problem and that Vermont
could not afford to ape the larger
states if it wanted to do so. Gravel
is a perfect road, material and so far
as known, whenjaroperly built a gra
vel road is not as expensive to build
or maintain as many others and is
better than most if properly taken
care of. In fact, it is the road for
Vermont and it is time to settle down
and adopt a gravel road policy.
Roads and Sliiffless Town3.;
(Burlington Free Press) '
Years ago when state aid was first
instituted the state road tax of five
cen.s on the dollar of the grand list
of towns was distributed according to
mileage as now, but it was dispensed
no matter whether" the money was
used for roads or not. Many a town
as a natural consequence proceeded
merely to cover this fund into - its
In order to remedy this situation
it was later stipulated that thetown
should make a certain extent of "per
manent road" as it was then called
by courtesy, in order to be entitled
to receive the proceeds of the state
tax. -. " I, - ...
since the event of the auto and the
motor truck the term permanent
road" has not only , lost, its original
meaning but it has also become a by
word and ; a reproach. We suspect,
judging from the conditions of roads
hi various towns, that some of : the
road authorities therein have grown
careless.
We have wondered if it might not
be well for the highway department
to follow the example of the school
department and. outline the require
ments for standard road, treatment.
In short, why not deprive a town of
state aid altogether unless it meets
modern requirements 7
The difference in roads in two ad
joining towns, as noted by the editors
on their recent tour and by other ob
servers, has no good reason for exist
ing. If one town keeps up its roads,
another can do the same thing under
similar conditions and circumstances.
If any town neglects'lts roads, whv
should the people of all the rest of
the state tax themselves for its ben
efit? '
Next Legislature Can't Be Composed
- of. Good Fellows.
(Rutland Herald)
The Brattleboro Reformer does not
agree with. the: idea of returning as
many members as possible of the '
present legislature, who, as it says, 1
were responsible for the record of
the last, session. Looting: for vouri-
money where you lost it may be a
good poker, but it's - poor politics,"
the contemporary concludes. ; ;
" There may . be something in what
The Reformer says: in fact, there

course almost impossible to establish ' figure, but" is not so good and would

propriation bills speak pretty

for themselves. - -
The trouble comes, as both the Re
former and-others have pointed out,
in an entirely wrong attitude toward
the public business. The average
representative does not consider the
welfare of the state" as a whole, but
merely a few matters in which he
and his town antf his .immediate as
sociates are interested. "Get the
bacon" is the accepted and accredited
plan. - -"This
results in a -: more -or less well
defined organization of "pork, barrel"
representatives and senators. They
are charged 'with the, duty" of "getr
ting something f or their towns,
counties or ; friends, and they subor
dinate their other duties -to that end.
Given- enough men" with that object
in view andvwe get a deficit legisla
ture like the present. - -
State's entire surplus and working
balance spent; departments running
up to and beyond their appropria-
. . . . m . 1 J
tions; state woric oi various Kinas
being done on credit or held over for
new appropriations; state tax twice
as large as it was last year and yet
insufficient to meet expenses; a defi
cit of perhaps, a million practically
certain at" the end of the- next Jiscal
period; a dollar state tax probably
necessary, to meet the-upset costs of
government and the accumulating
shortage. . V
This sounds like a 'pessimist's
view, but is it more gloomy than the
facts call for? The Reformer con
tinues: . .
"When The Herald say sthat a ser
ious situation will confront the next
legislature it says-a mouthful. On
one side will be the absolute neces
sity of curtailing expenditures-unless
a confiscatory tax rate is to be levi
ed; on, the other will be, the special
departmental pleaders .and the
friends of every special activity.
Leaving - it to these glib-tongued
folks, as the last legislature was in
clined to do and as Candidate Foote
seems willing todo won't put Ver
mont any nearer to living 'within its
present income." -
This is perhaps not exactly fair to
the lieutenant governor whose in
fluence was often exerted' for econ
omy but who had no voice or vote in
the transactions of the present leg
islature,: buty it points out the very
uncommon type of service which the
next governor , of Vermont will be
called upon to make.
It will not be a popular service, it
will not De pleasant, it will not be a
good fellow's job. The Brattleboro
contemporary seems, to. think well of
Mr. Proctor's approach , to this diffi
cult and popular topic. . It says:
"What is needed in Montpelier
next January, as pretty well outlined
by Candidate Proctor, is a legislature
composed of men who "sincerely de
sire to have the. state live within
its income" and more important still,
"will labor fearlessly to that end
without regard to local, department
al or personal appeal," the last
phrase meaning, as the Reformer in
terprets.it,with no mercy on.specia
appropriation bills no '"falling for'
the ' departmental sob brotherhood
and no cherishing of political ambi
tion." "
This places the responsibility where
it belongs with the individua
towns originally, and with the men
they send up to Montpelier to repre
sent them. No governor can work
miracles. He cannot re-make . legis
latures. He , cannot make laws. In
practice he canot amend a. budget bil
which comes to him during the clos
ing days of the session. He can veto
certain bills and,often make his veto
"stick," but his influence is largely
indirect and his powers are strictly
limited by the constitution and. the
statutes.
One of the unexplainable things of
the legislature of 1921 was its refus
al to submit an amendment to tho
constitution,' permitting the governor
to veto separate items in a bill, in
stead of the whole bill. The legisla
ture therefore, finds itself m this sit
uation: - . n
It, refused to give the governor an
effective veto over the budget and it
spent all the money the state had or
exnected to have and then some
It not only was a spendthrift itself
but it went on record against any
governor's being permitted to check
such extravagance.
The Herald has a notion that' it
will be some time before another leg
islaturegets into a similar situation,
but no remedy will come unless the
towns send up their men with etr ec
tive .and positive instructions. -
- Economy will not "just .happen"; it
demands leadership and a legislature
with intentions.
