POST-7URKEY LEGISLATION
WORK AT MONTPELIER WAS RESUMED
TUESDAY WITH VIGoR.
Plans Are Now Being Made for Final Ad-
journment Not Later Than Next Week
Saturday-Senate Has Passed the Weekly
Payment Bill Finally

The legislature began its pOst-turkey SEES
sion at Montpelier Tuesday and since that
time both houses have been working strenu
ously with the idea of bringing about final
adjournment as soon as possible. The prin'
cipal debates of the opening day were in the
senate on the bill to limit liability of en-
ployers which was finally ordered to third
reading, and in the house and on bill to
incorporate the Mortified Trust company.
Senator Chase of Windham was one of the
strong advocates of the employers liability
bill in the senate and lucidly explained its
provisions. The upper house killed the
anti saloon league bill in regard to pur.
ity of elections, its provisions being consid
cred too drastic Another commendable
thing done by the senate was the killing of
the house bill providing for instruction in
elementary agriculture in public school.
There was breezy debate in the house
Tuesday morning over the bill introduced
from the joint committee on game and fish
cries providing for compensation for dam
ages for loss of crops trees and shrubbery
by deer and by cedar waxwings. The bill
was finally ordered to third reading after
it had been amended by cutting out refer
ence to the cedar waxwings. The committee
on railroads introduced in the house a sub
stitute bill for that introduced earlier in the
session by Mr.. Gibson of Brattleboro Great
ing a board of railroad commissioners and
defining its powers and duties. The princi-
pal change in the substitute bill is that the
salary of the commissioners is made $500
year and expenses with $500 additional
for the chairman.
feature of the work in the senate We'd
nesday was the debate on the weekly pay
ment bill. After considerable discussion the
bill was ordered to third reading by vote
of 10 to 8 and finally passed, Senator Chase
being one of those in its favor The senate
ordered to a third reading the bill permit

fered a series of comparative statements
ing with tuberculosis. DIR. Nichols first adj
dressed the Commissioners to counsel an
unfavorable report upon the bill, and before
he began his discussion he Offered bill re-
lating to the registration of tuberculosis,
which projected measure he said had been
agreed upon as best for local purposes by
both medical societies of the District.
Benefits Of the Proposed Bill.
Should this bill be adopted 1t will not be
necessary. he explained. for physician to
report cases which come under his personal
care where the patient is one of means and
needs no aid from the municipality. DIR.
Nichols contended that 1t would be an in
justice for patients of more than moderate
circumstances to be reported as victims Of
tuberculosis. because they. being under the
guidance OF competent physician. would
immediately be surrounded by all precau-
tons.
He said that he expressed the sentiments
OF the medical societies in favorfng any
measure which would in any way help or
better conditions in this city. but they could
not see any possible chance for the bill
now pending in Congress to achieve any re-
suits toward the desired end. The physi-

hearty my sympathy Is with your purpose
] owed my first interest In the playground
question. among great many other things,
to Jacob Riis. when he spoke of the poor
children who were not allowed to play In
the streets. but had to play In the streets
felt very keenly the need of Fairgrounds,
and. of course. as the children grow older,
the need of athletic grounds. In express
ing my adherence to what you have said,
DIR. Quick as to the need of helping adapt
the plays and, of course, the Fairgrounds
and athletic grounds, to the needs OF our
citizenship of city life. let me say just one
thing, which, am sure, It Is hardly neces-
sary for me tc say, and that is to remember
that I'm trying to shape the plays for the
children you have got to consult the chill
dren especially. You must try to take adj
vantage of their initiatiye and simply help
in shaping it in the proper direction.
"One of the chief difficulties that all OF
US have encountered who have tried to help
in establishing hotels for young women, or
clubs where instead of being saloons there
shall be coffee clubs for men, we often
establish such an excellent series of regu-
lations that nobody will go to them. While
aiming to develop the plays as far as pos
sible. let the children work out their own
salvation in their own way; simply exercise
such supervision to see that they do not do
harm Remember in the last analysis the
play has to suit them and not us.
