the means, doubtless, of bringing out full

The Bennington Banner of last week had
an editorial presenting strong arguments
in favor of the proposal of the trustees of
the Soldiers Home to ask the legislature
this fall to reduce the number of trustees
from eighteen to three or five, vesting
their appointment in the governor and au
thorizing them to care for the Home Just
as any other state institution is cared for.
The original board has done its work well,
the Banner says, in the establishment of
the institution and carrying on its affairs
to the present time, but now point has
been reached where a smaller number of
men can do the work better and with less
cost to the state. with a law providing
for only three" the Banner says, land max
ing them directly responsible to the state,
and appointed by the governor for three
years, one only retiring each year, we
should have a perfect system, response
bility resting where it belongs and abuses
could be easily detected and remedies quick
ly applied, and scandals avoided or made
of short duration" The only objection
made, that the Home should be managed
by veterans, can be done away with by a
provision that at least two thirds of the
trustees shall always be men who saw SER
vice during the days of '6ll65.
