SMALL TOWN AGGRESSION.
Legislature Under Dominance of Their
Representatives.


The present legislature seems to be
completely under the domination of
about $50 members of the House, practi-
cslly all farmers, practically oil from
small towns, who sit back in their seats,
take no part in debate, give 10 evidence
OF human life and interest, and yet who,
when actually called upon to vote, have
done more to defeat progressive legisla-
ton and retard the onward movement
Of the state 70 better things than any
other factor.
These men are apparently open 10
conviction, and yet, having agreed to a
proposition to-day, they are just as apt
to verturn it tomorrow. They may
have convictions, but they have not as
vet been exhibited. So far, the sum
total Of their motive seems TO be sort
OF uureasoning prejudice, a silly and
greedy Jealousy Of the larger towns,
that is as unwarranted as it is ridicu-
lous,
Practically every measure Of taxation,
of ways and means, Of internal govern
ment Of all kinds, has been shaped, de.
signed and interpreted for the benefit
of the smaller town. The attitude OF
their representatives is ungrateful and
uncalled for
The prospect Of taxation reform has
disappeared in swirl Of
prejudice and suspicion. The littlest,
the nsrrowest view Of the subject has
been the rule, and, even with such
view, profound and resolute ignorance
Of actual conditions has pervaded the
motives of those who voted
against the abolition OF Offset.
The man from the small town not
only votes against the interests Of the
man from the larger town He votes
against his own.--Rutland Herald.

DAVIS ON THE STAND.
Newspaper Writer Tells of the Business
Of Cardenio F. King.

Boston, Dec. l7.--When the trial of
Cardenio r. King, profnoter indicted
for the larceny Of $4,000 from 81 per-
sons, was resumed yesterday in the SUI
perior court, Judge Schofeld excluded
as irrelevant the question which counsel
for the defense asked yesterday of Wit
ness J. Frank Davis, a newspaper writer
employed by King to assist in writing
advertisements, az to. whether he, Davis,
considered the subject matter OF the ad
vertisements worthy of belief. King
leaned far forawrd as the Judge pro.
nounced his decision ON the point and
seemed somewhat anxious until Mr..
Parker explained to the court that he
only asked the question to bring out
whether King was acting in good or bad
faith, and that he would not press for an
exception.
Mr. Davis then resumed his testimony
ulder cross examination and stated that
on the day of the failure OF the Kniok-
erbockcr Trust company in New York,
King said that it was an excellent time
to buy stocks and intended to advertise
such advice and would not press his own
securities until the stock market had
risen. He sent Davis to the stock ex-
change to get a list of some 20 good
stocks and said that he believed that
the great expense in advertising would
be amply repaid.
Davis assisted in writing many of the
advertisements.
