A NEEDED REFORM.

The state tax this year is 40 cents,
and we fear it will be the same for the
next two years. Before the war it
was down to 20 cents and Gov. Proc
tor urged the legislature of 1878 to cut
it down towards that sum at once, but
the "wise men" of Vermont did not do
it. Let it be frankly stated however
that the partially completed work
house at Rutland; the needed repairs
on the state prison, at Windsor, and
the reform school at Vergennes ne
cessitated some extra expenses for these
last two years. And the expenses of
those institutes, above their present or
prospective earnings, will render them
burden to the state treasury, we fear,
for some years yet to come. But after
making all due allowance for these
extras, the taxes are too high, and will
remain so till they are reduced by legis-
lation. So much is clear; and now
the point is, how is the work of reform
to be done.
First of all the voters, of whom the
great majority are farmers, must get
themselves interested in the matter;
understand just what the expenses of
the state government are, how they are
distributed among the various depart
ments: the salaries of the state and
county officials, in fact, become fam-
| Liar with "where the money goes and
how much of it," Concerning this
very few of our farmers are we'll in
formed; we fear it would puzzle most
Of them TO tell how much session of
legislature cost the state. Having
learned how much moneys are expend.
ed, etc, they can form something like
an accurate idea of what these ex-
penses, in justice and honor, should be
and so at once see where salaries, fees,
etc, are too large, should be cut
down
a second step is in electing legisla-
ture in sympathy with and intent up
on it. The last was not a reform lie :

In the Senate there were Col. MeaC
of Randolph, Col. Franklin Of Newfane
Mr.. Dyer of Rutland, Mr.. King of Lu
nenburg, whom we know to be ear
nest and aggressive for reform, while
others might have been and we knew i
not.
We want the farmers, all in fact in
favor of reform in our state expenses, to
bear in mind the absolute necessity fol

understood; we do not mean men who

The Democratic Convention for the
nomination of a candidate for the Pres
idency opened at Cincinnati last Tues
day. The names prominently men
toned are Messrs. Bayard, Payne,
Field, Hendricks, Randall and Han
cock. Ex-Governor Seymour has de-
clined to accept the nomination, even
if it is UNANIMOUSLY rendered to him,
and Mr.. Tilden has also written letter
of declination. The letter is regarded
in the same light in Cincinnati as it is
elsewhere, namely, bid for the nomi-
nation and at the same time q confess
sion of his inability to secure it with
out the support of delegates who were
not chosen as his supporters. 1t is not
yet evident what the Filden men will
do. Indeed, they seem at a loss them
selves as to the policy it is wisest for
them to adopt. There are indications
that the vote of New York cannot be
transferred to Mr.. Payne or any other
man unless the convention insists up
on the enforcement of the unit rule.
The present indicatiOnsl lead to the con-
clusion that the strength of the Payne
movement has been over-estinated
