LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
5upt. Stones Salary Not Cut Down.

The house did nobly Monday by refus-
ing to lower the salary OF the superin-
tendent $500 year. The bill to reduce
the salary to 81 500 was a special order
for Monday afternoon. Mr.. Baldwin Of
Barton regarded the proposition MS
wrong. The superintendent oil education
is one of the most important officials of
the state. and while there is a demand
for economy amongpeople and members,
cutting down expenses should not begin
with the head of educational affairs.
Since the old board of education was
abolished and educational affairs put in
the hands on one man there has been
marked improvement in educational
affairs in Vermont, especially since the
present incumbent has filed the place.
II we cut down the salary the superin-
tendcnt will have to give up his position,
and we shall have to take less comDc-
tent man. Mr.. Bunker of Pcacham
opposed the bill. He did not believe in
gripping our educational institutions
and interests. Mr.. Bliss of Calais and
Mr.. Pierce Of Chester both opposed the
bill, and it was killed by vote of Ga
yeas and 10 nays

tribute to Prof. Bunker, the representa-.
tive from Peacham. The Argus says,
Mr.. Bunker of Peacham might well be
designated the balance wheel Of the
house. He is regular and punctual in
his attendance, he has no desire to advo.
cate any freak measures, he has ire
quently criticised the action of the house
in hastily passing measures only to re.
call them tor further consideration, and
in general has endeavored, as far as any
one man can do So to keep in the view
OF the house the duties the members were
sent there to perform, and to expedite
the business of the session as much as is
consistent with careful action"

State News,

Much inconvenience is experienced in
finding railroad route to New Orleans
having bridges high enough for the pass
age OF the largest block of granite ever
quarred in Vermont. The block is is
feet square and three feet thick. 1t is
intended for the noted Moriarty monu-
ment in New Orleans. 1t was quarried
in Barre and has been moved to the
dressing sheds. A special car is being
built by the local roads on which it is
intended to set the block on edge, letting
the lower side swing through the bot
tom to within eight inches of the rails.
The weight of the block exceeds fifty
tons. Investigation shows that most
routes have bridges too low for the
block to pass through.
DR.. w. Seward Webb has recently i'm
ported to Shelburne Farms two varieties
of game birds which he hopes to establish
in Vermont. They are SO black cocks
and 81 capercailzie. Both lots were orig
inally 40 in number but seven died in
transit. The black cock is a species of
European grouse. When full grown the
male bird weighs about four pounds. The
capercailzie is also species of grouse OF
large size and good flavor which is found
in Northern Europe. The male birds OF
this species often weigh IA pounds or
more and they resemble the American
wild turkey. These birds are not to be
shot for five years.

by the failure OF towns to elect, nor has
the work OF the legislature been ham
pered by such failure.
Mr. Clark spoke briefly in reply, ana
the bill was killed by a decisive vote.
- Witness Fees.
The house had more trouble Thursday
morning over the bill making the com
pcnsation OF witnesses in attendance on
court So day, Mr. Haskins OF BrattIe-
boro, who had previously spoken against
the bill, made a vigorous protest. He
quoted figures from the auditors report
to show that the present cost OF wit
ncsscs Tor fees was about $35 600, and
said that this would be practically
doubled If the bill should be passed. He
was very patriotic, in acting for the peo-
pie OF the entire state, not Tor any one
class or section, and he wanted to save
the state a great expense, and he hoped
some stenographic reporter was taking
down his words so that they might be
given to the world. He wanted every
member to 20 on record, and he called
for the yeas and nays. There was a
lengthy discussion, many members be-
lieving it no more than fair that the state
should give witness whom it calls suffi-
Gent compensation to pay the expenses
he incurs by his attendance at court
But the house could not be persuaded,
and the bill was killed by vote OF 121
to 50.

Election by Plurality.

One of the most important bills of the
session, the bill amending the ballot law
so that plurality shall elect members of
the house, proposed by Mr. Clark of
Glover, was the special order for Tuesday
afternoon. Mr.. Clark was the first
speaker on the measure. The principle of
plurality election is in accord with the
constitution, and is approved by the
leading writers on constitutional law.
All county officers and all city officers
with one exception are chosen by p'u
ralIty. Several New Fl gland states have
changed their constitutions to meet the
demand for such methods OF election. A
plurality election comes nearer the will
OF the people than does a majority. He
believed that better class OF men would
be elected il the proposed changes were
made, as the best men may have enemies
to prevent them from securing majority
vote, when they could not as well pre-
vent plurality. The change would
reduce the expense of printing extra
ballots for town representatives by
thousands Of dollars There would also
be saving OF the time which is now lost
by the voters whenever several ballots
are required to elect. BY requiring
several ballots to secure majority vote,
the aged and inirm are practically dis,
franchised.
Mr.. Bunker Of Peacham believed better
representation would be secured by
requiring majority vote, and that bet
ter men are secured when there is a long
contest. The changes in other states
have been made necessary by consolidate
ing the towns and making the districts
smaller, which is not the casein Vermont.
Allowing plurality to elect will enable
rings and secret societies to control cleo
tions, and he would oppose tie bill for
that reason il tor no other The matter
OF expense was regarded as unworthy of
consideration. Although it is urged that
under the present system some towns
may be unrepresented, he thought the
legislature could get along and perform
its work il all seats were not filled.
Mr.. Bates of St. Johnsbury regarded
the bill as wrong in principle and likely
to be pernicious if carried into practice.
The basic principle of this government is
majority rule, and the whole tendency is
toward requiring a majority vote. The
president must have majority of the
electoral votes, senator's a majority OF
the legislature, and congressman
majority Of their districts. All state Off
GERS chosen in joint assembly must receive
majority vote. For 105 years Vermont
has elected her representatives by
majority vote, and there does not appear
any great reason for undertaking an
experiment. He believed that the effect
OF the bill would be to benefit the minor
ity party, to strengthen the power of
rings and secret societies, and would
tend to multiply candidates. The de-
iayed elections are not usually contests
between representatives OF opposing
parties, but usually bet ween factions OF
the same party, and he believed that
plurality elections would cause the house
OF representatives to be made up, not of
representatives of maiorities but by rep.
resentatives OF factions. There has never
been a'lack of representation in the house
