Representative Bundy's bill to reduce
state expenses has some good features
hut any plan that puts the insane poor
of the state back into the hands of the
towns is inhuman, for the simple rea-
son that there is occasionally a town
in Vermont so outrageously mean with
its paupers as to bring the blush OF
shame to every self-respeeting cheek
in Vermont. There are other WAYS TO
practice economy without this Ben
nington Reformer.
Quite true. Straining the quality Of
mercy with an eye solely to the saw
ing Of dollars should not be the policy
Of the state. This does not mean Law
ish, ill-advised expenditures of the
public funds, but such use of them will
be OF more actual benefit to the state
than would result if they were not
taken from the individual for the pub
lie good.

il the license men on the committee
and in the two houses had taken the
same view of it. But unfortunately
for the Battell bill and, we fear, for the
tranquility Of the state, they did not.
Instead, to man, they held and hold
that the Battell bill is not a license
local option bill. except incidentally I;
that it is not fulflment of the party
pledge; that it is supported by the
prohibitionists for a purpose; and that
the effect of its passage would be TO
defeat both itself and local option IN
the interest Of the present law. 50

bin tooth and nail, and has secured
favorable report for its own bill, The
prospect is for a bitter, and possibly a
long, contest.

The assembly was chosen. The
Republicans easily controlled it,
though the Democrats and Clement
license faction each had fair-sized
representation. 1t was generally con-
ceded that the plain duty Of the legis-
lature was to pass license-local
option act, with a referendum pro-
vision. Even the strongest opponents
of that system realized the obligation
deyolying on the assembly, in the full
flment of the party pledge. The
exact nature of the act, it was thought,
would not be difficult to determine.
The conception was, as outlined by
GOV. Mccullough in his inaugural,
along the lines Of license-local option
laws of other states, notably Massa-
chusetts. Nobody in the assembly,
we venture, supposed then that radical
disagreement over the act would be
possible. The believers in prohibit
ton registered many lamentations,
beneath their breath, because of the
convention pledge, but they expected
to vote for the local option act on the
strength OF the referendum clause,
which, they hoped, would justify
them.
