"crszy" on Railroads..

Railroad legislation will receive some
attention at the coming session Of the
Legislature. Some of the work OF the last
session should be undone. That session
seemed crazy to do something with the
railroads to satisfy public sentiment, and
seemed to care little what It was. Under
the pretense Of regulating the roads, they
were only hampered. and the public in no
way benefited. Press.
Let us see, the five railroad acts Of the
legislative session Of 1906 were, briefly
summarized, as folIows:-
~ To make ssredeemabls" tickets &C
tualIy redeemable.
(2) Gradual adjustment OF grade
crossings.
(3) Passage OF 8 rate bill. modelled aft
er tn federal Law and giving full iuris-
dictioh &c the state railroad commission.
l4l Enactment of a railroad commits
sion Law like that modelled by ex-Sena
tor Jonathan Ross.
(5) Revising the public statutes OF
Vermont to conform.
Il may be pertiDently asked in what
particular did the legislature OF 1906
seem scrazyn to do something with the
railroads, seemingly caring little what
the s'something'' was. Perhaps the
neighbor will tell us. Barre Times.

their nourishment, is unable to perform
this duty satisfactorily when it is weak

The tonic treatment with DR.. Williams

this condition most admirably as the

The Burlington Free Press hears that
the presence Of Mr.. Hartman in YER
mont has revived the talk Of cross-state
railroad. The facts about the problem Of
q railroad from Montpelier to Rutland are
that there are plenty Of plausible routes
from the short and mountainous pitch
from Woodstock to the long. though
comparatively easy, route from Montpel-
Ter via Middlesex, Moretown, Waitsheld,
Rochester, Stockbridge and Mendon.
The latter route has also been united with
the White River Valley railroad from
Bethel to Stockbridge as possible outlet
by way Of the Central Vermont and Beth
ell. The whole thing hinges on the prob
lem OF finance. Lack OF population, diff
cult and costly construction and lack Of
natural resources TO form an expectation
Of growth are what makes capital reluc-
tant about building a cross-state railroad.
And Mr.. Hartman Is not, perhaps. any
more likely than any one else to invest
money in 3 railroad that is likely, like
the St. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain
and White River Valley roads, to show a
regular and reliable deficit. Rutland Her

II is now seriously proposed that Yer

law recently enacted in the state OF New
York. viz, that all persons must pay q
tax Of 81 for every gun they own, that
they must have this gun duly recorded
and liable to inspection, that any person
having . gun not registered must pay
fine. Il also provides that no one can
hunt except on his farm or in his door
yard or attic, unless be pays the fee.
The purpose OF this law is manifest. II
is framed in the interests Of the Fish and
Game league Of the state, who annually
hold banquets, sometimes at Hotel Cham

not allow them to own a gun we do not
know what does. Our state constitution
also has the same clause in it, section 40,

GOV. PRocroR's MESSAGE.

II must be a pleasant task for Gov.
Fletcher d. Proctor, who makes way for
his successor today, to render an account
OF his stewardship, so wen has it been
performed. From his retiring message
the following facts are CLEANED, end the
following recommendations taken:--
The state treasury for the biennial term
ending June 30, 1905, showsa surplus Of
sis, 1852. All bills are closely paid
and there is no state debt, properly
speaking.
The state hospital for the insane at Wa
terbury has received an improvement of
$40, 900 to its plant, which is now in ex-
ceIlent condition. Special pains has been
taken to protect the state from the care
OF insane patients not properly charge
bic to t, and results along this line are
noted in an increase OF private patients
and decrease in pauper insane. In order
to care for the Atty or more criminal in
sane with safety and to prevent their es-
cape, some changes in construction Of the
Waterbury hospital viii be necessary.
During the past two years, the sum OF
CSC, 900 has been expended on changes
and repairs OF the state prison at Wind
sor, with excellent results. OF the s25,-
900 appropriated for improvements on
the State Industrial school plant ct Yer
gennes. only $1,000 has been expended,
owing to delay in securing a healthful
water supply at that place. The central
ization Of authority under one board OF
management has worked splendid results.
There is no deficiency in appropriations
for our penal institutions and no increase
in their allowance win be necessary.
Governor Proctor believes, however, that
il would be unwise to consolidate til.
combine of the penal institutions and tn.
insane hospital.
The governor reports concerning tn,
education OF unfortunate children, as m
dertaksn by the state.
A large saving has been made in tn
cost of public printing under the dirsc
tion Of the printing commissioner, 70
