DRAWBACKS OF HOUSEKEEPING;

American housekcepers in the Philip

with according to Arthur Stanley Riggs
writing in Public Opinion, May 10. The
worst of these are the creeping, craw

APPOINTMENT OF LICENSE COM.
M1SS1ONERS.
(lrrom the Landmark.)
No matter how carefully a license law
NAV be drawn IL will be sure to meet
criticism. Just now complaints are be-
ing openly made that the present law Is
faulty In that II gives the appointment
of liquor commissioners in license towns
to the assistant Judges of the county
court.
On this point the Montpelier Argus
says
In Montpelier. as in other towns, there
Ia great dissat lis faction over the grant
ing of licenses. The commissioners who
grant the licenses are not answerable to
any one They are autocrats. They can
do what they please in the way Of grant,
ing and rovoking licenses and no one has
n right to question them. They are not
elected by the people of their own COM
munities, not even by the selectmen Or
aldermen of their municipalities, and they
are not responsible to any one. They con-
sti.ute an absolutely irresponsible body.
| The Vcrgcnnes Enterprise follows In
| this strain:
| The State Is gradually waking up to
| the silly futility of the amendment to the
liquor law which provides for the APP
pointment Of license commissioners by the
assistant Judges. Rank craftsmanship and
ncpotism are plainly charged by the Bur-
lington News and the other State papers
are fast realizing the immense possible
tics for discrimination. graft and petty
politics permitted by this vicious idea.
| the competition to secure licenses IN
some towns is very brisk, and applicants
who are disappointed are sure to Kick.
on the face Of 1t county Judges who are
men of good standing and character III
the towns from which they are chosen
are not likely to make bad appointments
If leaving such appointments in thei
hands will, as has been limited. increase
the mo" vote next year it will be good
thing.

ANYTHING BUT SATISFACTORY
From the Fair Haven Era)

The drift from local option the APP
pointment of license commissioners by the
county side judges does not meet the un'
qualified approval of the State press.

say good word for the change in metn-
dds of appointment but the majority nave
printed strong expressions against IL.
The change here has been anything nut
satisfactory and the next session OF the
Legislature will either modify that feature
of the law or more of the "a license towns

PUBLIC OPINION REQUIRED.
(From the Ludlow Tribune.)

Representative Hargood's idea of SUBJ
mitting questions to the people before
legislative action is taken up by some
newspapers in Il fuller sense than he
probably intended. The Tribune believes
that public opinion ignored and fire..
Quently unknown in times of legislative
stress might be felt moro powerfully IL
important issues lay over one year, not
for action at the ballot in a referendum,
but for public consideration. This might
involve annual sessions. but the 'off-year
session" might be entirely devoted to in
Producing questions. none of which could
be acted upon till the following year 1t
could be made short. fruitful and mex
pensve and might save. possibly. its en-
tire expense in the following session by
the added despatch that well-considered
public questions would receive. Massa-
chusetts considered a similar idea recent
ly and Its support showed that a certain
demand exists for expressed public opin-
ion on public measures.
