Acts Of the Legislature.
bellows Falls Times.1

With this issue the Times is sending
out the public acts of the recent legisla-
ture. We pause long enough to remark
that they are the worst yet. We do not
refer to the acts themselves, but to the
sloppy way in which they are printed
and bound. Don't think for a moment,
gentle reader, that this work of art was
produced in Bellows Falls. The sover-
eign state of Vermont farmed out the
printing and is inflicting the product on
the newspapers Of the state. We do not
know who did the printing, but whoever
the devil was he must have taken the job
at mighty low figure or made a mighty
profit If the state is paying anything
for this kind of work the tax payers
ought to make vigorous protest. II
some printer has made the state a pres
ent the state has been imposed upon.
What a pity that when the state OF
Vermont does a job 1t cannot always be
depended upon to do a good job. We
need men at the head of the public print
ing department who know printing from
blacksmithing To expect the news
papers of the state 10 circulate such mon
strosities as these "acts of the legisla-
ture" is disgraceful

EXPRESS INVESTIGATION BEGINS.
Interstate Commission Starts Inquiry Into
Charges Made in San Francisco.

San Francisco. Dec 27.-Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Franklin K Lane to-day began an
investigation into the complaint against the Wells
Fargo Express Company by the California Com
Tnercial Association, OF San Francisco, charging
the express company with discrimination, conceal
ing rates which had been filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission and other violations of the
interstate commerce law
II was brought out by Commissioner Lane that
since April J. 1906 il has required from 10 to 30,
and even TO- days 10 get freight from New York.
and this delay had forced many merchants to ship
by express 10 get their goods in season. While
freight rates averaged from TO cents pound
from New York to San Francisco, the express rate
is from to 20 cents a pound.
1t was developed that TO take advantage of the
lowest express rate of cents, made on shipments
of 10,oeo 2a0e pounds. number Of San Fran
cisco merchants formed an association Shipments
20 members were forwarded from New York by an
agency 10 the association which distributed the
goods its members.

no greater injustice has been perpetrated
against the trust companies OF New York City than
is contained In the erroneous and msdirected
financial morals of the community to shift the re-

Radicals to Hold Forth an Open AT

decided upon. The hnal details were arranged at
a tea given at the Hotel Westminster yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. r. Borrmann Wells, the British
sufragette who here about month ago with
the openly avowed purpose or stirring the Arnerl-
women to revolt
To say that the conservative sufragfsts dis
approve of this movement is to put il mildly Most
of them could find words to express their feel
ings yesterday. Some think suffragettism is all
very well In its place which they consider TO be
the other side OF the Atlantic but they don't want
II in America. Others say that il Is bad thing
in England. and has injured the cause there
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, who Is president of the
International Woman Suffrage Association, IS
strongly In favor of conservative methods.
In the Harlem Equal Rights League, however
Mrs. Wells found material that needed stirring
and was. in fact ripe for spontaneous combustion.
The president of that association Miss Maud Ma
lone, wanted to talk street corners before ever
she heard of suffragette and was with difficulty
restrained from doing The organization of an
open air meeting IN the cause of woman suffrage
has been a congeniai task for her. and ambi-
ton Will at last be realized when she mounts the
stump in Madison Square. Mrs Marguerite Moore
Will be another speaker, and Mrs Belle de Rivera
would probably have been of the number if she had
not found home influence too strong her. Mrs.
Wells will also speak.
The present intention is to have the meeting in
the evening. but there may not be any torchlight
procession.
