State have been conservative, progressive
and keenly alive to the wants of the people,
but thers is undoubtedly in this day con
stantly increasing sentiment among the
most conservative of our people in favor of
a change in the present system. Combined
with our system of biennial sessions and
one-tcrm legislators, we crowd into the
House at each session so many ineXperi-
enced men that they are in each other S
way, their very numbers alone clogging the
wheels of legislation. 1t may be easier to
crsicizo than to suggest improvement, but
it is becoming very evident that system
that worked well fifty years ago is not
equally satisfactory now.

Vcrmout~ System OF Representation

one Of the inf-rc tins questions consider
ed 10y the recent Legislature was the Yer
mont system o! representation Bins were
presented proposing thot the STATE constitu-
ton be so altered rs to reduce the number
III the House by having members chosen
from districts instead OF from towns. and
altogether tie subject ga'e rise to consider
able discussion, although a. in numerous
other instances the Legislature failed to
take any action in The matter.
Judge Powers touched upon this subject
| in his address at the Sons OF Vermont an
niVersnry meeting in Chicago Friday.
Among other things he said that it
was in the fourteen years OF Nermont's
! independent statehood that were fashioned
| many of the characteristics Of our present
| political Po!ity. Our system of representa-
| ton in the Legislature by towns rather
| than upon a basis Of population, grew out
| Of the influence which towns rs towns. ex-
erted in shaping the affairs of the settlers
in their carly struggles, The old commit
tee Of safety IN their day, represented
units of political uowcr, irrespective of the
| question whether that unit was made up Of
a large or small popula ton They had
worked out the political salvation Of the
people; why then should the system be dis
,urhed, or why should any surrender the
unit OF strength, which ali, by equal right,
held: Continuing, Judge Powers said:
