The New California Code.

The new California code is a very
peculiar one in it's relations to home
and the family. AS it establishes uni
versal equality in the married state, it
leaves the husband and wife at full
liberty to sue and contract with each
other as before the matrimonial state.
Should any controversy arise between
the husband and wife leading to their
separation, the two can pay into Il com
mon fund certain contributions from
their pocket-money for the support of
their children, who, in turn, are not IN
the distinctive custody of either parent,
the law saying: " When husband and
wife are living separate and apart, the
father as such, has no superior right to
that of the mother to the care, custody
or control of the children" AS the
law also says, "the marriage of minors
changes their status from minors to
adults, there is nothing to hinder ne
elected children from going off and
getting married, and thus becoming as
good as the grown folks, with equal
rights to sue each other and make as
much matrimonial confusion as then
elders. In fine, the Code virtually
does away with all the distinctive rights
of sex, and opens Paradise for such
discontinued individuals as Woodruff,
Clahin and Train.

Hen RATES OF INSURANCE. The ex-
IRENE high rates Of premium charged by foreign
insurance companies doing business in Vermont
are attracting attention throughout the State
The amount of money paid to foreign companies
is immense, and entirely out of proportion to the
benefit derived Why, we ask, should Vermont
property be" rated'' by selfappointed i" raters'
ns so much more hazardous than property in
New York, Boston, Chicago, and other towns
and cities. The talk about superior facilities for
extinguishing fires in towns and cities is can
invention of the enemy" backed up by their To-
cal agents. who receive large percentage of
the premiums paid, and are thus directly inter-
ested in putting up rates.
The experience of one hundred years in the
village Of Manchester shows only one small
dwelling house burned. Can any of the cities or
towns show any thing like such re'ord' We
venture to say that the loss by fire in Vermont
is not one-fnurth as great in proportion to the
amount insured as in towns and cities Any
one at all familiar Eirh this subject will readily
see why this is the case
So we come back to the question, Why should
rural Vermont pay double premiums with less
than half the risk, MS shown by past experienoel
WIZ some OF the numerous agents Of foreign
companies explain this unjust discrimination.
The records of the Vermont Mutual Insurance
Company for the past Fifty years, will prove the
correctness Of our statement in regard to fire
risks in Vermont.-.Mdachester Journal
