THE COURT OF CLAIMS.

The bill for abolishing the court OF
claims brings to n head the movement
for supprcsslng this fake court which the
Journal began two years ago. At that
time. this paper showed up In consider
able detail the expense and needless fol-
dcrol that the court assumed, making 1t
a very costly thing for the State to de
eide whether 1t owed certain people
money or not. The conviction was APP
parent at that time and has now crystal
lied into visible form that the auditor
can perform the duties of this court
much better than the court itself There
are u lot OF other frills that the State
supports that could be dispensed with

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
Matter 81 Court Expenses Becoming u
serious Thing for the ire nsury
Of the state.
tFrom the Rutland IIerald)

The rumor Is whispered about the
state House that beside a scheme OF
district courts, so wild and unchoate
in its provisions that even lawyers
speak ct ii with bated breath, there
is a movement afoot to make the SUI
prcmc court consist Of nve Justices
instead of four. The Herald Is not in
clined to oppose the latter. Four is
a rather awkward number and the
chances are decidedly in favor of Il
division that would simply mean the
affirmation Of the decision of the low
or court. without an opinion on the
final merits of the case. 1t is well to
remember. however, that the end Of
this matter of court expenses is likely
to he a very serious thing for tn"
treasury Of state. \ halt must be
called somewhere, as the revenue
makers are very near the end of their
ingenious resources. The state must
live within her income even If sl75.-
600 school appropriations and $4,000
highway appropriations stare the
LEGISLATURE in the face, If Governor
Pruutv would make Il name for him
self. he might with profit try and keep
the states expenditure within mil
WANTED-A HEAVY RAINFALL.
(From the Barre Times)
If the weather were to be lust about
as We puny humans would desire there
would come heavy and continuous rain
fail bofore nest Monday. when the deer
hunting season IN Vermont begins. 9th
crvisc there VIII be great possibility Of
the loss of timber through the careless
ness of hunters who light fires and then
leave them To be the sport of the winds
until they envelop and encircle whole
forests Nothing but a real soaking rain
will remove the dangers from this source.
Consequently anxious eyes are being
turned for signs OF rainfall In case the
rain does not come before the opening
of the deer season, word of caution
should be given to every hunter.
FOLLY or BOUNTY THEORY.
(From the Rutland Herald)
Just to review the past folly of this
absurd bounty theory, one needs only to
refer to- the years of 1904, when this pa
ternal notion cost the State over $1,000
for hounties The author Of the justly
ridicucd hedgehog bill will also hc inter-
estcd IN knowing that these stolid but
industrious little animals were killed In
such numbers as to mulct the State IN
nearly $1,000. (See report of auditor for
this terml II Is also stated that animals
were freely rushed across the State line
from New Hampshire. colonies of hedge
hogs and other prolific beasts were start
ed in the mountains and the killing OF
Wild pests for the bounty became an or

SLAUGHTER OF DOES.

The Rutland Herald contributes a pro-
test against the proposed slaughter of
does in Vermont in the following:
seriously, II seems Il pity, now that
Vermont has by severe pains succeeded
in establishing n good herd of deer. to
take any radical or permanent steps
that would tend to dcplctc its numbers
The slaughter of does would add fea-
lures of brutality TO the annual hattue
that i happily lacks at present. When
We read such touching tributes to the
wounded buck az may at any moment
be turned off the pen Of any Sentiment
talist' who loves dumb animals, consider
the affecting sort Of an agony column
that might be maintained when the pic
ture Of the stricken doe might be drawn.
