utilities bin because II provides that the
salaries and expenses Of the commissions
ers are TO be borne pro rata BY the cor
porations supervised. The argument Is
that such an arrangement would tend to
make khs commission subservient TO its
raymasters. We do not view il that way.
It is fair to place the burden on the cor
porations whose creation makes It neces-
sary, rather than on the taxpaying pub
lie. The commissioners draw their pay
from the state treasury which, in turn
collects ii Of the corporations, SO that
there is no direct transaction between the
public service board and the corporations
involving the matter Of salary. The same
system Is followed in the inspection OF
state banking institutions, the cost being
apportioned among the banks, and no
complaint arises that favoritism Is shown
BY the commissioner. It means a saving
Of $751; 900 year to the state, Il done in
this way. However. this feature Is not Of
enough importance to overshadow the
whole measure, and might be waived in
favor Of compensation fromthe state treas
ury, If thought advisable.

Not theory, but q condition, and a se-
rious one, confronts the general assembly
of Vermont on its re-assembly in Mont
pelier next week. The tuberculosis law
as administered by the state cattle COM
mission, win. beyond question, il contin-
ued, bankrupt the state treasury. Not
only that but the system itself Is vicious
rs II appeals TO the cupidity and avarice
of man in throwing an unjust and un-
warranted burden upon the state that
shou be borne by individuals.
The law Is in no sense curative and
does not remedy the evil aimed At. II Is
nothing more or less than an endless
chain, to which the state treasury IL
constant contributor. Vermont for the
past ten years has spent hundreds OF
Thousands Of dollars in the expenditure
incident to the killing Of diseased cattle
and yet, as far as we are able to secure
Incarnation, there are as many diseased
cattle in the state IS there were ten years
ago.
Think Of this: For the months OF
July, August, September and October of
the present year, the state OF Vermont
paid for the killing Of s43 cows the sum
Of S27, 026.23, while the state OF Massa-
chusetts in the same period Of time paid
for the killing Of ten COWS, &174.S3.
Vermont is paying at the rate Of $3.50, 900
for the biennial period, or $50, 900 per
year. This is nearly double the amount
paid for the last biennial period, when IL
was approximately SOS, 900. No state in
the union begins to pay out as much
money for this special purpose as does
Vermont, and 1t is up to the present leg
islature TO say how long Vermont shall
be mulcted By this never ending demand
upon its resources.
We have an instance in Franklin
county, at our poor farm in Sheldon, fuI-
" illustrating the whole situation. Seven
years ago the cows at this farm were tested
and large number found diseased and
killed. Yet this year, on the herd being
again tested, the conditions were found
as bad or worse than they were seven
years ago.
II is notorious that farmers, when hay
: Is short and grain high, invariably have
their COWS tested for the express purposl
of selling them to the state, and, Il found
diseased, they receive fully more for til,
slaughter Of the affected animals thar
: they could obtain for healthy ones il sols
J to individual purchasers in the respective
localities where the tests ara made.
This condition Of affairs Is scandaIou
and seriously reflects upon good state cd
/ ministration. The Standard hopes ans
J trusts that the legislature wall not ad
iourn until it repeals this law and substi
tutes therefor just and equitable meas
ure which win, under compulsory test

pectation Of the customary harvest Of

This Iamentation arises over the defeat
Of the tsn-dollar wage exemption in the
Senate.
II the fate of this bill teaches the plat
form makers of the future to confine their
efforts to general declarations OF party
policy on the main issues that are before

thing that can be coniured BY q fertile
fancy. it viii have served q good purpose
The wage exemption plank had no
place in the state platform. II had never
been presented to or considered BY the
voters, and opinion had not crystallized
upon Il. Il was an eleventh hour after
thought, introduced at the behest Of pro
iessiOnal laborists; written in pen-and,
ink on the margin OF the typewriter
platform manuscript. 1t received no at
tention from the convention and was no
understood By one in twenty Of the dele
gates, who adopted the platform with
shout and rushed for the train.
As matter Of public policy, it de
served the beating it got, and that it was

their herds clean themselves. As It Is
the state offers to buy such cattle Ct
sIehty-6vs per cent Of their value at any
time, and many farmer doesn't think It
worth while to use care and precaution
Tor the sake Of the other fifteen per cent.
Just Ut present, with the shortage Of feed
and high price Of grain, stock is being
cut down to the minimum, and whenever
farmer suspects he has bovine tubercu-
iosis the test il being called for. and the
states money is taken. as the best market
for such cattle, which are worthless for
beef, If sold to butchers.
The trouble seems to be that the state
pays.a great deal too high for diseased
animals. 1t is acting a. q breeder, in
stead Of An exterminator, Of the disease,
by providing a paying market for that
kind OF cattle. Vermont has paid out, in
the past twenty years, toward 9 million
dollars, and It appears that We have about
e. much bovine tuberculosis as ever now.
It ought to be possible 70 fix on some rate
Of compensation that would satisfy the
conscience and generosity Of the state
without creating an endless chain for ths
diminution Of the treasury, with little re-
sultant benefit. A compulsory tesl
would be. . difhcult and disagreeabI'
thing to enforce II the stateswere K
pay, say, half the "value'' of diseased
cattle, we believe there would be as man,
honest tests as now, and the farmer
would take hold better themselves to saw

Governor Prouty's decision not to veto
the doe killing bill, though his personal
feeling was opposed to it, probably re-
suited from full knowledge OF condi-
tons. In Vermont it only requires q
bare majority in each house to pass q bill
over an executives veto, and experience
has shown that bill once passed, after
full discussion, invariably goes through
again over veto. so that it would have
amounted to nothing, except from a sem
timental standpoint, il the governor had
sent this bill back without his approval.
Further, a veto, thus handled, general
Iy creates q tension between the chief ex-
ecutive and the two houses that affects
their relations clear through the session.
It was good judgment, in view OF every.
thing likely to arise, for Governor Prouty
to return this bill with his approval. OF
at least not with veto.
