slature.Vermont (always keenly alert to moderndevelopment, for all of her apparent geo-graphical isolation and the little that therest of the country hears about her) has feltfor a decade the ferment of new ideas, andhas been preparing to do just what she didin the fall of 1906. The Legislature now inoffice represents, on the whole, Vermontshighest grade of citizenship. Its leaders andits rank and file alike, with few exceptions,came up to the capital resolved to do justwhat they did, and the arguments of specialinterests fell on deaf ears. They were notonly with the Governor in all his measures,but they would have enacted these measures,or most of them, without his assistance andleadership. These new laws, therefore, arenot the freak conceptions of a few radicalpoliticians. They represent the maturedthought of the State, and they will be en-forced by a strong public sentiment be-hind them. There again Vermont differs from someother well-known States.

The State could do this, easilyenough, and could in this way get a verylarge revenue in later years. At any rate,the State is now preparing to show howwild land can be reforested, economicallyand profitably; and in this, again, Vermontis showing the way to New Hampshire andMaine, States which have an equal or evengreater interest in the reforestation of wildlands.
