THE LEGISLATURE.
What is Being Done In Montpelier

Wednesday C24th) and Thursday.
The military committee made re-
port on their visit to the soldiers
home, expressing great satisfaction
with the home and it's management
and recommending an appropriation OF
$25, 900 therefor, which both branches
of the legislature adopted.
These bills were among those pre-
scented To remove inebriates to state
institutions for special treatment; to
abolish the town system of schools,
and restore the district system in Rut-
land; to make the close season for
trout, salmon and lunge August | and
April l, and for quail, wOOdcOck and
partridge from December Is to Septem-
Der L. The house refused to repeal the
law requiring an abstract of individual
lists to be deposited in town clerks Of
flee. In 1886 bill introduced prohib-
iting the sale of cigarettes to minors
was killed in the House a similar bill
has been introduced this season.
In the senate Senator Bates pre-
sented an act relating to attachment
and sale of property on which mortga-
gee has lien; Senator Taft an act
making the penalty for conveying
liquor over any highway so and costs
and 80 days imprisonment for the first
offence, $50 and 60 days for second
and $50 and 60 days for each subse-
quent offence.
The committee on banks held a
meeting to consider various measures
looking to reduction of the limit of de-
pOsits in savings banks exempt from
other than state tax, that limit now
being $500; also kindred measures,
among others to reduce the amount
such banks may invest in loans on
Western mortgages from So to 40 per
cent. Carroll S. Page, inspector of
finance, was present. He opposed all
the propositions save that of reducing
investments in Western loans and that
he strongly favored. Mr.. Page did
not recommend abstinence from West
ern mortgages, but thought they
should be held strictly within the linn
it of 40 per cent. of deposits.
The committee on education also
held hearing on the new school bill
presided over by Chairman Bunker.
The present impression seems to be
that the bill will pass both Houses
with very few changes.
Friday.
The bill to exempt the pension
money of old soldiers from trustee pro-
cess in certain instances gave rise to
considerable discussion and was final :
ly defeated by a vote of 100 to 80. The
measure will be brought up again and
the vote reconsidered when it is
thought the bill will be passed. An
act has been introduced in the senate
to incorporate the Vermont society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals.
The general committee reported
against the act to provide for fort
nightly payment of wages by corpora
tons, and the bill was ordered to lie.
Various new bills were presented in
the house. By Representative Hazen,
in relation to the Citizens savings
bank and trust company of st. Johns
bury providing that where appraisals
of real estate are increased by listers,
owners shall be notified; appropriate
ing $4,000 annually for the Agricultural
college and university of Vermont
$500 for providing instruction in the

If instead of the two or three hun
dred measures already introduced in
the present legislature only a dozen
were to be considered or acted on wise
legislation might be expected. The
questions of the public schools, the
highways, the railroads, and perhaps a
half dozen other matters demand the
united wisdom of both branches of the
legislature. Were it possible to COM
pei action on these and these alone
changed laws that would rebound to
the honor of the state might be hoped
for even in the limited time at COM
mand. AS it is the outlook is far from
encouraging. With SO many bright
and shining lights absorbing glory
and honor, very little is left for the
tate at large.

Tuesday.
The military committee reported the
proposed code adversely. The COM
mittee says that while the measure
contains many praiseworthy features,
yet the passage of it as an act would
involve the expenditure of more than
the state can afford to appropriate. 1t
is possible that substitute bill will
be prepared, eliminating some of the
matters calling for expense.
Favorable reports were made by the
committees and third reading order
ed on these bills: providing for ap-
pointment of supervisors of the insane,
for the erection and better mainte-
nance of guideposts. New bills we're
introduced to prevent discrimination

The Springfield Republicans New
England crop report speaks rather en-
couragingly of Vermont crops on the
whole. The oat yield is pronounced
light though the crop weighs more than
last year and is fully up to the stand
ard of 81 pounds to the bushel. Last
year some bushels only weighed from
D to % pounds. A backward season
and early frosts used up the corn crop
in the upper half of the state, though
corn that was planted early escaped
the heaviest frosts. The apple crop is
good. Potatoes show an unusual yield,
reckOned all the way from 25 to 200 per
cent. larger than last year. The farm
ers in many localities turned their at
tention to raising potatoes this year
with good results.

The latest Stanley rumor is dis
patch to the effect that the president of
the geographical society of Lille has
received news from Africa that H. NJ.
Stanley has been massacred with all
his expedition, excepting two men.
The Emin relief commission discredits
the story. Members of the commission
do not doubt that Stanley is with the
white pasha who is reported to be in
BahrEt Gazelles province. 1t is be-
lieved Stanley joined Emin at Wadelia
in December, 1887. Despite all these
contradictory rumors, it is evident
enough that the impression is gaining
ground daily that the great explorer is
lost.

In accordance with the usual custom, the
police Of the several precincts distributed pack
ages Of groceries, cakes and candies to the poor
to-day. The articles were sent in by charitable
persons and organizations, and in South Wash
ington the children Of the public schools sent
half q dozen wagon loads of provisions and
several loads of wood and coal In that pre-
cinct the officers were kept busy Saturday dis
tributing the packages. Preference was given
to the aged and others who were unable to per-
form any labor. In many instances applica-
tions were refused to strong and healthy per-
sons who called, not because they were in need,
but because it was there to be given away
One colored woman, with six children, called
and asked for assistance. Each one of the
family had a basket and wanted to carry of
enough to last them a week. As they were not
considered objects for charity they were re-
fused. The police say that there is not so
much suffering here now as there usually is
this late in the winter. They state that most
of the requests of the needy are for clothing
and fuel.

An Old Chronicle.

From the Springfield Union.
In looking over the files of the Wampanoag
Daily Union we find the following interesting
interview under date of December 81, 1920:
Our enterprising representative, John II.
Samoset, learning that a boatload of pilgrims
were approaching the shore, stationed himself
upon the lone boulder upon the beach, note
book in hand, ready to welcome the interesting
strangers. As the boat approached the rock,
a genial pilgrim at the bow shouted, 'Avast
there, stand ready to catch the rope" where
upon Samoset deity caught the rope and fast
ened it to a stump. The first pilgrim to set
foot upon the rock was Mr.. Brewster, and the
following interview Immediately took place:
Samoset-"Welcome, Englishmen!'
Brewster-''The same to you, my heather
brother-how are your folks?"
Samoset-"Pretty well though old Massasoit
is laid up with the rheumatic or he would have
been down here with the brass band. What
are your impressions of America, Mr.. Brew
ster?
Brewster-''I am astonished at the greatness
of this glorious country and the inexhaustible
resources of wealth that see around me. This
rock seems to be fine quality Of building stone
and
Samoset-"How do our American girls COM
pare with English girls, Mr.. BrewsterY'
Just at this juncture Miss Priscilla Mullens
stumbled and screamed as she stepped over the
gunwale and in the confusion the interview
was interrupted. Our reporter promises to
send, for a later edition. further interviews
with the pale-faced strangers on Robert Els
mere" and Henry Georges land tax ideas.
