have a faint conception of the steps
which should be taken In order to
gain an adequte realization of the sig

RESURRECTION OF LEGISLATORS.

We have had frequent occasion to
deplore the evils growing out of our
system of electlng members Of our
LEGISLATURE for a single term, which
has apparently gained all the strength
Of England's unwritten constitution
through the operation OF our biennial
terms. Uniting It's influence with this
system to the same end is the outland-
ish and ridiculous custom Of passing
legislative honors round on the theory
that II is this mnn's turn or that
towns turn to be represented in the
Legislature, or in other words, that
the office belongs to the man instead
Of the man belonging to the office.
The inevitable result of this one
term systen is to give the people OF
our state the service of a host of In
experienced lawmakers. We gain
some excellent legislation in tho end.
but instead OF spreading the service
Of legislators out over series of
over a series of sessions. Instead OF
perfeCtinE law at one session, wa
frame It with the idea that It will be
radically amended at the following
session or sessions. We turn out raw
legislation and try IL on the long suf-
fering people. II they are not too
pronounced in their protests we allow
it to stand on our statute books. IF
they insist. we give them the desired
amendments.
n it is any comfort to the people OF
Vermont to reflect that misery loves
company. II may be consoling to know
that our state is not alone in tolerat-
ing this evil. The Springfield Repub-
lican sometime since made an analysis
of the membership of the Massachu-
setts Legislature. and 1t discovered
that n surprisingly small number 81?
the legislators were men of experience
in the art of lawmaking. the proper
ton having fallen TO a remarkable de-
gree since the early days of lcgisla-
ton in the Bay state. Thus, In 1870
there were III members. of whom 1oa.
or 63.7 per cent were reelected from
the previous year. In 1900 the per-
centage of the reelected was 81: in
1910, Al, and so on till 1900. when
only out of 252 or rs per cent. wee
re-elected. In 1907 the percentage
has risen to 4. that Is to say, 10 mem
bers out of total of 252.
Connecticut is another state whic n
has fallen into the vicious habit of re-
fusing to ro-elect experienced legisla-
tors in order to give some new hand
chance at the expense of the peoples
interests as we'll as Of the pockethool1s
also has a version Of the town system
OF representation In the Legislature
peculiar to very few States in the
Union All this leads the Louisville
Courier journal to exciaim:
What use has so small a State as
Connecticut for 252 law ma crs
| There mustNe a scheme there to send
every citizen of the majority party -
the Legislature at least once durin 6
! his life. and this may account for the
! few that are re-eleCted."
In the course OF time the people Of
Vermont will unquestionably discover
| that the interests of their respective
| whole demand the return OF n certain
proportion of experienced Legislators
| 10 Montpelier each session. and the
sooner this discovery is made the more
speedy will be the relief Of our state
! from some of the Vermont statutes.
