to-day, the Vermont court of claims has
gone into the refuse heap Of legislative
hopes, abandoned like a useless piece of
junk. The court of claims was nothing
more than an experiment at best, and
we have learned by experience that it
is q judicial appendage OF little distinc-
tive value to the state of Vermont. Its
intent was to Tighten the labors of the
legislature itself, which was bienially
importuned to pay such and such one
the sum therein named; and the re-
quests were many. 1t made quite a
clutter Of work for certain committee
of the legislature and it was thought
that the time saved to the legislature

NOTES AND COMMENT
ON THE LEGISLATURE

The continual conflict between the
savings banks and trust companies was
the subject Of the bankers meeting the
other night and President G. T. Smith
of the Burlington savings bank stated
the grievance briefly by saying that the
present law allowed a weak trust com
pany with less than ten per cent. reserve
could pay interest at four per cent.
while a strong savings bank with per-
haps nine and three quarters could only
pay three and one.hali per cent. Arising
out OF this discussion is the Davis reso.
luton, introduced yesterday afternoon,
which calls for commission 10 examine

THE "NEws" ANNIVERSARY.

nlversary of the establishment of the
Deseret News, and In few more
weeks the paper can celebrate the 4Oth
anniversary Of it's existence as daiY

Transformation this region has witness
ed during this time.
In 1850 when the Descret News
first made its appearance, the Territory

but Farley Pratt and his company
went as far as the confluence of the

Deseret News was six months old
when charters were granted TO Salt
Lake, ogden; Provo, Manu, and Paro-
wan. 1t is older than the University,
which was opened on Nov. II. 1850, IN
the Seventeenth ward, under the di-
rection of its first Chancellor. orson
Spencer. At the time the settlers of
Utah were troubled by Indians. The

But the Deseret News grew with the
country II helped to build up from
weekly to a semi weekly and then a
daily. and during its long career 1t has
always endeavored to be a newspaper
for the people--a clean. reliable, en-
terprising paper. 1t has had some of the
brightest men of Utah on its editorial
staff. And 1t has never wavered IN
the defense of Truth and Liberty. 1t

HEED THE PROTEST.

The City authorities should heed the
protest of the citizens on the West side
against establishing a red light dis
trict in that part OF the City. There
are many reasons for this, and the chief
one is that such a district" cannot be
established except in fragrant violation
of the law. The citizens have a right to
protest against the proposed pollution
OF West Side property by establish
ments that cannot exist under the law,
and the City authorities cannot afford
to become partners in the proposed vio-
lation of the statutes they are supposed
10 uphold in all their official acts. The
protest OF the citizens should end the
matter, as far as their neighborhood
Is concerned. And yet II Is true that
that blot upon the City should b. re-
moved from the business center The
problem is to find a locality where that
kind OF traffic can do the least harm.
But why have a "red light" sink hole
at all? Why not fill it up and efface
all traces of It. Why not bury the
thing as a. rotten carcass and dsln-
feet the locality It has too long in
fected? Undoubtedly the district is a
source Of income to some grafters, but
that Is not an important consideration.
