VERMONT RAILROADS PAYING
BETTER WAGES.

Dl%t = TN " fAAttA,t
The powers-that.be back Of the Cen
trial Vermont railroad system appear to
have hit upon the right tactics al last
toward securing better service for their
patrons. It is by increasing the wages
Of the employees SO that workmen Of
something besides two.by-four calibre
can be retained in their employ. An
nouncement LAS Just been made that
200 men employed along the route have
had am increase The amount is small
but the company has made good start.
Perhaps if It adheres to the same course
it will be able TO furnish that prompt
ana efficient service which has been
heretofore lacking. Decent employees
are worth more than 1925 per day and
- long as the Central paid no more
than that amount It could not get
decent and competent workmen a
great deal Of the freight congestion Of
the past winter and spring was due as
much to poor workmen as to poor coal
and cold weather. And besides being
mderpaid, the men we're overworked.
No man can retain his vitality and thus
render the best service when deprived Of
q due amount Of rest and recreation
The employees Of the Rutland railroad
recently petitioned for more pay and
easier hours of labor, and the request
was needed by the company. Both the
Central Vermont and Rutland railroads
win certainly not be the losers for
any tendency toward liberality to
their hirelings

sUBVERTINe THE CONSTITUTION.

In his recent speech at jamestown,
Judge Parker performed great pub
lie service by Analysing the funda-
mental policy OF the Roosevelt regime.
He quoted from the text Of the Presi-
dents Harrisburg speech the words
I'VE need, through executive action,
through legislative action and through
judicial Interpretation and construc-
ton of law, to increase the power of
the Federal Government. II we fail
thus to increase 1t we show our i'm.
potence' Judge Parker's principal
objection to this revolutionary, not to
say reasonable policy, was in sub
stance that 1t is a brazen, uneQuivo-
cal proposal to substitute for the con-
stitution a government by commits
sions that in the end, through sue
cessive expansions of the commerce
clause of the constitution, might cover
almost every incident of productive
anu ANOl ny SOu'
stitutional amendment, but through
the concerted action of the executive,
the legislative and the judicial de-
partments of the Federal Government.
That 1t was, in other words, a pro-
posal to change essentially the form
of government in these United States
by the creation of commissions EN-.
to deal judicially with spe.
cial subjects by the comforting upon
the same commissions OF legislative
through delegation Of the
power committed to Congress by the
and finally by commit.
ting to the executive the unrestricted
power Of appointing and removing the
members of such commissions; thus
in practical effect concentrating in
the hands Of the executive alone un.
limited power. Judge T?rker has dis
covered the real issue upon which the
next campaign must be fought and he
has presented it with a clearness
which will command attention.
