ISLAND POND. VT. FRIDAY. APRIL II. 1895
Lost Local Self Government.

The great attention given to the
systems of city governments IN this
country is nowhere more noticeable
than in Boston. The old idea of local
self-government is fading away. For
the last ten years the Legislature has
largely nodded the municipal business
OF Boston. What has been the finan-
cial result of taking away the control
of the police from the city? Today
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of real estate is idle on the hands
of owners. The state gets about S4O0,
600 of the license fees. Tne subway
commissioners are authorized to ex-
pend $4,000, 900. Under the law they
are not responsible TO the governor
or mayor who jointly appointed them.
The Legislature has control of their
appropriation, b'.' after the Legislature
is prorogued they are their own mas
ters. One of the measures now pend
ing before the Legislature contemplates
putting our water supply system under
the control of state board. Who
can foretell how costly that system Is
going to be? 1t is another case OF
not trusting the people to manage
their own business The school COM
mittee has been divorced from the
! city government, and is its own
master. A public. library has been
built by New York architects, and
/ costly work therein done by artists
from Paris. Some OF our largest con
tracts go to New York and western
contractors. We have IA consolidated
street department which has spen
5000, 600 in one year, but 1t was re
sponsible to the mayor. The watel
board builds basins costing from
81, 900. 900 to 81, 500, 900, but its worl
comes under the eve of the mayor, tn
peoples representative. This city i
paying nearly half of the whole stat
tax, while all the other cities ant
towns get the benefit of it, and are no
shorn of their right of local self-gov
ernment. There is strong and grow
ing sentiment abroad that if this
the way Boston is to be conducted o
business principles it would be IA
better to return TO the old way OF do
ing things-the way which was i
vogue in those bygone days when th
citizens conduct ed their own affairs.

The various labor organizations OF
Boston have issued an address to the
people of the state, In which they say
hey look with alarm upon the contin-
ned encroachments on their right and
privileges as citizens of Massachusetts
and of the United States, adding:
1--WE warn you that the efforts now
being made to extend the term of
office, to abolish the city council and
to rob you of one-hslf of the power of
your franchise by the adoption of the
biennial system of elections are dan
gerous to the well being of the COM
monwealth. Freedom of speech, free
dom of the press, free schools and
freedom to worship God according to
/ the dictates of conscience, are all en-
| iangered. We appeal TO you as citl-
zens with one common interest and
one common destiny not to be divided
on race or creed issues, not TO be
diverted from the central thought of
that spirit of true Americanism that
seeks the advancement of the many
rather than the aggrandizement OF
the priviledged few and which will
ultimately make of all the people OF
the earth one common brotherhood.
We appeal to you to use your intiu-
ence against every attempt to increase
the term of office of city and state
officials. To demand that all ques.
tions of public moment be referred to
the people for their endorsement oil
rejection To prevent the abolition
of the city council. To defeat at the
polls the biennial election scheme anC
all who favor it, To frown upon the
incrense of appropriation for military
purposes, and to favor all appropria
tions that enlarge the opportunities
of the people in matters OF labor ant

and prosperity of the people may b.
conserved and advanced; that the ex
ercise of the franchise may not b

The New York Post says: The plac-
ing of colossal figure of William
Penn on the Philadelphia City Hall
has inspired proposal to perpetuate
the memory of Roger Williams IN the
same way on the do ne OF Rhode ISL
ands new State House. 1t is now re-
called that the Roger Williams Mon
ument Association started fund
thirty-four years ago to erect mem
orial column on Prospect Hill. Zach
ariah Allen in his diary of that time
says with amusing ignorance OF the
problem presented by the convexity
of the earth: "a statue on the top
of this column would stand nearly 400
feet above tidewater. 1t would be
conspicuous from Newport and Block
Island, and, think, from the State
House at Boston," Thus, il was sug-
gested, would the capitol of the col
ony which disgraced its intelligence
by the banishment OF Williams be for
ever doomed to find his figure still
within sight. The association failed
to raise enough money to put up the
column, but the sum was deposited in
bank. and has now increased to con
siderable sum. There seems to be an
impression that the top of the State
House would be the appropriate place
for Roger Williams. and the associa
ton is advised to transfer its fund tt
the State if the Government will agree
to thus honor him and will also bint
itself to erect statue elsewhere t.

has been neglected, General Greene

To steal a dog that is without Ii
cense and collar Is not larceny. The
complaint, therefore, charging James
Munkittrick with the larceny of zone
dog" of the value of $50, the property
of William P. Bolles, is defective, not
having alleged that the dog was col
Jared and licensed. The district attor-
nev, having made search into the legal
authorities from Blackstone up to
date. was satisfied that an unlicensed,
uncollared dog, as the animal in this
case was alleged to be, was not the
subject of larceny. Blackstone says:
"As to those animals which do not
serve for food, and which therefore
the law holds to have no intrinsic
value, as dogs of all sorts, and other
creatures kept for whim and pleasure,
though man may have base prop.
erty therein, and maintain a civil
action for the loss of them, yet they
are not of such estimation as that the
crime of stealing them amounts tc
larceny. BY public statutes, chapter
l02, section 8, dog when collarec
and licensed is made the subject o
larceny. Munkittrick is watchmal
on Beacon Hill. He has insisted al
along that he was not in the least con
cerned in the taking away of the dog

Boston,s Grain Export.

Only few years ago it wal COM
mon thing for Boston business men to
complain of the discrimination made
by the American trunk lines against
Boston and in favor of New York, but
Just at present the tables seemed
turned, and it is the New York Pro.
duce Exchange which complains that
the Boston shipper of wheat or corn
receives much more favorable terms
for shipments abroad than are given
to the New York shipper at present.
This contrast between the complaints
of Boston against New York a few
wears ago and those of New York
against Boston today, is peculiar and
of some local interest. The contrast
NAV be seen in connection with re-
ports of wheat and corn shipments
abroad. Since December 13, up to
the second week in March, reckoning
s. 900 bushels to a shipload, the ship
ments from the two ports of Newport
News and Norfolk amounted to l35
shiploads; the port of Boston shipped
1914 shiploads; New Orleans shipped
S5 shiploads; New York but 76i; Bal
timore and Philadelphia 20 shiploads.
The total shipments for the last fiscaI
year we're but 1,O)O shiploads from
Newport News and Norfolk, 1875
from Boston, 1926 from New York
1000 from Philadelphia, 1925 from
baltimore and 1850 from New Orleans
1t will be seen in the recent shipment
that Boston and Norfolk and New Or
leans have secured more than thei
usual share of the export trade.

To TeSt the Size of Il jag.

The order introduced by Council
man Lane requesting the committee
on police department to consider and
report within three weeks on the ex-
pediency of establishing at station
houses some official test or standard
of inebricty which shall apply to every
person arrested and brought to a sta
ton on the charge of intoxication be-
fore they are locked up and held for
trial, is the subject of much comment
in the city. Mr.. Lane said: "1ou

that we should have some kind of n
test in our station houses, so that a
man who is able to take care of him
self, although he has been drinking,
will not be confined in cell over
night. At present it is very easy
matter for an officer to look a person
up if he has any malice toward him.

make the victim walk the chalk line OF

he is unable to walk the required line
or spell the word, then that should be
sufficient reason to lock him up on the
