might appear necessary. Some of the

fees has materially increased the last
few years so that last year the so per
cent amounted to over $4,000, which
was divided between them, with but
little additional expense for the cler-
ical work not required for the other
official position.
The suggested bill, as described,
calls for an expense of but 50, 600 in
the place Of this SO, 200 and gives
mnch improved service to insurance
companies in having but one head
and closer attention to details, in
Guiding the expense of collecting the
needed statistics which has never
been paid for by the state. They
are so paid for by most other states,
and are of value to companies and the
public. It also provides, for an Office
in the capital at Montpelier, very
desirable ma tier, as having a definite
location for the department..
Nearly, if not every other state in
in the Union has well organized de-
partment of this nature, and there is
everything to recommend it in the
line Of progress.
The com missioners themselves, in
their annual report made to the gov
ernor previous to the convention,
which indicated they were not to sue
ceed themselves, for 1898, advised
strongly the creation of this single
6eDartment
If the bill placing the insurance in
terests of the state under a depart
ment by itself and calling for separ-
ate commissioner, becomes law it
occurs to us that if there is one man
in Vermont who is better qualified
than any other to take charge of this
proposed department it is L. S. Hayes
Of Bellows Falls. Mr.. Hayes has had,
we believe, % years. experience in
the insurance business in this state
and is thoroughly conversant with it's
details in all branches. His training
has equipped him with the knowledge
which would make him a very COM
petent and impartial official.
We hope to see the commission
created and the gentleman from Bel
lows Falls placed at it's head.-St.

LEGISLATIVE WORK.

The railroad situation shows little
change although all interested are
closely watching every development.
A public hearing before the railroad
committee has been demanded by the
Grand Trunk interest. The whole
matter will be fully investigated be-
foresany legislative action is taken.
An interesting feature Of the Sc ssion
was the making Of the House bill No
a special order in the Senate, its i'm
mediate passage in concurrence and
the signing of the bill by the COVER
nor. The bill has become law and
the state is assuredeof a bacteriologi
cal laboratory with DR.. J. Fl. Linsley
Of Burlington as its manager and the
bill went through the whole process
without a word Of discussion on the
floor of either house. This is unique
and cannot be attributed to any lob
bying or crooked work but is simply
the granting Of public demand. Of
course there are members who look
upon the appropriation Of $4,000 as
an enormous one. It will be remen
bered that the insertion of these fig
ures was left to the committee Of
public health.
House bill No 157 is one which has
been predicted and will arouse con-
siderable interest. This bill provides
that the consent Of the proprietor Of
a stream or that part of a stream to be
closed must be secured and it IS to be
closed only where the fish commits
sioners believe that trout will be less
than six inches in length. No stream
shall be posted which flows into or
direc tly connects with posted waters
or private preserves, and the fish
commi ssioners can stock the same
with trout, salmon or other varieties
of fish. Any town by giving due no
tice in the warning for town meeting
may vote upon the closing Of any
stream Or part Of streams and decide
the kind Of fish to be placed in the
streams, which shall be done by the
fish commissioners if notified by the
selectmen. The commissioners must
post the streams and if person fish
in such streams he is liable to fine
Of fifty dollars, if prosecution is begun
within six months. The waters SO
closed are to be under the control of
state and decided by the owner in the
name Of the fish commissioners. This
act is not to interfere with present
powers of the fish commissioners to
close and stock certain streams.
A bill Of still greater interest is that
introduced by request by Mr.. Ranney
of Newport, and is supposed to repre-
sent the idea of State superintendent
Stone upon expert supervision of the
schools of Vermont. 1t does away
with town superintendent and sub
stitutes superintendent for certain
number of schools within the limits of

INSURANCE COMMISsONER.

1t seems to be generally understood
that a new state Office will be created
at the present session of the legisla
ture, namely, an insurance commits
sioner. The office will be an important
one and the duties Of its administra-
ton will demand careful discrimination
and long experience. The work of
this department has heretofore been
done by the secretary of state and
the state treasurer.
The present law provides that the
secretary OF state and state treasurer
shall be insurance commissioners, in
addition to their other Offices Their
salaries, 81, 800 each besides the office
of commissioner. The remuneration
paid as commissioners is so per cent
of all fees received from compa MES
doing business in the state, not in
Guiding the corporation tax.

In speaking of the war and the

he is trying to carry out his duty as
he sees it in high minded and splen
did way, as ] believe, and every vote
you cast against him or against the
men who are with him, whatever may
be thonght at home-it is taken
abroad as a vote of censure on the
administration which has led us vic
toriously through war, and is now
leading us back to an honorable peace {.
And it is for that reason that 1 appeal

voter in Massachusetts who believes
in sustaining the administration,

fore everything appeal to him
