MONTPELIER, Oct. S.--The event OF the
day has been of course the announcement
of The House committees by Speaker Start.
The list was expected yesterday but as it
was only partially completed the speaker
acted wisely in waiting until he could an
nounce it in full. The more important
committees are especially strong. as a scru-
tiny of the list will show. The democrats
receive the recognition which their numbers
and ability demand, and it is to be hoped
that all concerned are satisfied. Now the
work of legislation can begin in earnest.
Some of the resolutions and bills intro
duced in the House this morning are of an
interesting nature Mr. Darling's resolu-
ton providing for the appointment Of
joint special committee on salaries suggests
the possibility of reduction in all salaries
from the governor down"
Instead of six assistant judges or even
five, Mr.. Clark of Halifax thinks that four
are enough, and that men will serve in the
position at $1,000 per year. Retrench-
ment in State salaries seems to be the prin-
cipal talk just now.
Mr.. Byther OF Dover thinks that no one
ought to have more than $500 exempt from
taxation in the savings bank
