The Committee of Fifteen.

As announced in the CALIFORNIAN last
week six members of the committee
chosen to conduct the campaign against
the adoption of the high license law
met at Montpelier, Dec. %, to perfect
the organization and discuss plans for
the campaign. The session lasted four
hours and during it the Committee OF
Fifteen was chosen as the official name
OF the organization.
Senator c. S. Emery, of Chelsea, was
the unanimous choice for chairman, and
Representative Horace W. Bailey, OF
Newbury, was added to the committee
as member for Orange county. Rev. ]. l..
Sewall, of St. Adams, was chosen secre-
tary and c. P. Smith, of Burlington,

Because some OF the men chosen were
unable to serve few changes were made.
The following sub committees were
chosen with Senator Emery as chairman
ex oficio:
Finance: Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Page, Mr..
Wheeler, Mr.. Osgood.
Newspaper work: Mr.. Bailey, Mr..
s one, Mr.. Ranney.

superintendent of the campaign, with
headquarters at Chelsea. The next meet
ing will be held at Burlington, Jan. 2.
The following address to the people of
Vermont has been issued by the commit
tee:
1--WE, the Committee of Fifteen, desire
to make known our understanding OF
the work entrusted to us, and the way
in which we seek to do it. We are organ
lied in opposition to the open saloon in
Vermont We invite all of like opinion
to Join hands with us. and at the coming
on Feb. 3 to vote NO. be
lieving that such vote is for the best
interests OF our state We base our con-
tention on facts concerning the working
OF license laws in other states. We are
without the necessary funds for this cam
paign; whatever we accomplish will de-
pend largely upon freewill offerings; these
may be sent to our treasurer, Hon. c,
P. Smith, Burlington.
Believing that the open saloon would
be backward step in our history, we
earnestly ask for tie sympathy and ut
most cooperation of all who share with
us this conviction"

Looking Towards Government Con-
troll,

The CALIFORNIAN has repeatedly urged
that state railroad commissions and the
Interstate Commerce Commission be
given more authority, but up to the pres
ent time the pc werful railroad lobby has
prevented it. The annual report of the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
just been issued and the commission find
that their recommendation are not
needed by tie roads and that rebates
are still prevalent to the big shippers.
The commission and that the tendency
to combine is the most significant and
that eventually there will be little COM
petition as most Of the big lines will be
merged in few individuals whose com.
mon interests will compel them to act in
concert
The significant conclusion which the
Outlook draws from this is worth re-
peat'ng as it shows the growing senti.
ment in the United States toward gov
eminent control. After call ng for new
law to give the commission more power
the Outlook says:
"It competition is rap 'dly disappearing
aud il we are not yet ready Tor govern.
ment railway ownership, the only course
to be taken s one OF actual, not hcti.
tious, government control"

Senator Proctor on Labor.

The international committee of the
Young Mems Christian Association re-
Gently held its annual dinner in New
York and the address of the evening was
to have been delivered by Senator Proc
tor. Illness prevented his attendance
but he sent brief summary of his address,
which was read by one of the secretaries.
1t related to the labor question, and was
in part as follows;
| believe there never has been time
when employers in our country were
more ready and anxious to do every
thing possible tor the welfare of their
employees than today. The question
which | am sure many OF your guests
are considering is, what can we best
do, and how 81 we do it?' What can
the employer do beyond the payment OF
fair wages and due care to secure to
his employees good houses and schools,
proper sanitation, etc which are merely
matters Of cold business? Something
beyond this is surely required. What can
he do to bridge over this gap, this sepa-
ration betwt en- himself and his employees,
a separation continually and inevitably
widening with the increase OF his business
and natural laws which he cannot con
troll. Can he take any better step in this
direction than in giving them opportu-
mites tor recreation, social, intellectual,
moral and physical development beyond
what could be possible tor their indl-
vidual meats?
This may not, and probably will not,
obviate the trouble, but it will surely
alleviate it, and will be long step toward
a cure. 1t will inevitably lead to seri-
Gus, thoughtful study and consideration
of the problem and to oth,r steps for lis
| solution.
Give the workmen a chance to spend
their own money earned by themselves
wisely and prohtably for heir own mo al
intellectual, social and ply welart
and this is the greatest help the employer
can render them. Let that opportunity
be the broadest possible that they may
avail themselves of it with no sense OF
direction of dependence. Do not do for
men what they can do for themselv, S,
even il you can do it better than they.
Let them try FIR themselves and learn
how to do it. This principle should BE-
taken into account in all dealings with
employees, and the great reason WHY !
appr owe OF the policy OF this ASSOCIATE IN
is because it works along these lines.
1t is the opportunity tor the individu Al
that has made America what it is. Tue
greatness OF our country has resulted
more than from any one eau from the
freedom of the individual to work out his
own temporal salvation his own way
If we continue to off + this opportunity
America will in the / ear future lead the
world in industrial development, in com
merCe, manufactures and finance. Any
influence that tencs to discourage indi
yilual ambition and opportunity is vic
louS and un.Amelic IN.

Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circular one
OF the largest national liquor organs of

Congressman Fosters Story

The Washington Post has the following
good story which Representative Foster
recently told some Of his associates in
one OF the cosy corners of the House
cloak room.
81 spoke from the same platform last
autumn with funny fellow who told the
best story heard in the campaign. 1t
was used to illustrate the prevalence OF
good times for wOrkngmen.
"A man had landed in San Francisco,
after extensive travels, mighty close to
being busted. He had DIT cidtd to work
rather than stafve, and applied to a
iregnt office OF one of the transcontiutnt-
al lines tor a place as brakeman. The
road had Job waiting for him, aud he
asked
CHOW much do you pay a month";
we don't pay by the month.
How much a week.
Don't pay by the week. We pay
brakemen three cents mile
"Our busted friend went to work on
the first freight east from Frisco As the
locomotive pulled up into the mountains
1t moved slower and slower, aud the II, w
brakeman, count n9 the miles, began to
be greatly dissatisfied wi h his Job. But
before re ching the summit the train
broke in two. Al the rate 0 80 miles an
hour the 1ear cad went backing down
the mountain side.
Don't jump shouted the conductor
to the n,w brake man. Stick to it, and
don't jump
Jump shout back the brakeman.
We'll, guess l won't jump. What kind
OF fool do YOU take me Tor, when am
making 81 80 an hour"
