REVISION or RULES.
Changes Recommended in Regulations
Of State Legislature.

The committee ON the revision OF
the rules of the senate and house Of
the Vermont legislature. finished their
labors at Montpelier last week. IN
accordance with the law creating this
committee they will on or before jan
uary l submit to Gov. Bell their rec
concentrations.
The changes to be recommended are:
That the committee on elections
should be made up In the house OF
IA instead of seven members.
That there should be two commit
tees on railroads, to one OF which
shall be referred all bills referring to
steam railroads and to the other all
measures referring to electric rail-
roads.
The committee recommends abolish
Ing the distributing committee and
appointing two committees on corpOr-
atoms to one of which shall 90 all bills
relating to municipal corporations.
and to the other all measures that
should properly go to the committee
on corporations.
| The committee will recommend that
all bills to be introduced shall first be
referred to committee on revision of
bills composed of two representatives
and one senator, that all needed
changes in forms and expressions
may be made. The bills will then be
/ introduced through the speaker and
president of the senate and read the
first time by their title only. 1t is
recommended that the committee on
revision of bills shall have a clerk
who shall be paid six dollars
per day. and a stenographer. the
clerk to be appointed by the lieuten-
ant governor the speaker Of the house,
he Of
moving the appointment of this i'm
portant official out Of the realm OF
politics.
The committee will also recommend
that no bills shall be introduced in
either house after November ! unless
by unanimous consent. except through
the committees the present rule al
lows bills to creep in by a two-thirds
vote.
The creation of committee on APP
preparations is also recommended, to
which shall be referred all bills APP
prOpriating money. which can be held
until near the end of the session, thus
giving every measure of this kind a
square deal. Under the present rule,
appropriations are often made early
in the session for a large amount for
some project, and later in the session
equally meritorious bills are turned
down after an economical streak
strikes the legislature.
II will also be recommended that the
senate rules be SO changed that the
appointment of the senate commit
tees shall rest with the lieutenant gov
ernor. This has been heretofore done
by a committee from a new senate.
The committee found itself w
against a constitutional prohibition in
its efforts to recommend a revision OF
the rule regarding the call of a yea
and nay vote by single legisla-
tor The constitution of the state pro-
vides that any member of either
branch of the legislature may demand
call of the yeas and nays on any
Xill under discussion.

Punishment Should Not Fail.
rNipueapoliS Tribune.1

We think the newspapers and the
people should take pains to applaud
every instance of just punishment OF
betrayal of financial trust, by either
state or federal courts. There has
been much Indifference on this sub
iect and not little sentimental
sympathy with men of large acquaint-
ance and high social standing who
lose other peoples money in the at
tempt to enrich themselves.
Had there been more stern dealing
with the cases of criminal betrayal
of trust scattered here and there In
the gulf of financial misfortune a doz-
en- years ago. there would have been
less temptation to repeat the offense
In the flood tide of prosperity. In
nearly every community men are walk
ing about spending their savings from
other peoples money, who ought TO
be Just about getting out of the peni-
Tertiary on good behavior reduction
of sentence. There seems less dispo-
sition to be lenient now. perhaps be-
cause those who betray trust have not
the excuse of a financial panic.
This is a prosperous time for bank
ers and other custodians of trust
funds. as well as for manufacturers
and traders. There is no excuse for
betrayal of trust except an insane de-
sire to get rich faster than the law
allows. We can hardly imagine loss

II is interesting to learn that Sen

the army IS concerned. In Vermont ne
is state prohibitionist. He has a
son who used to have views upon TINS
subject. This son. being now per-
sonally conducted by his father. is not
permitted to have views. We seriously
