er, which will inevitably result in more
confusion and evasion of the law through
the transferring of licenses, since the
person taking out the license is not re-
auired to give an accurate description OF
himself as the question would seem to
indicate. Attorney General Sargent says
on this point, cot course you will see
by examination OF the statute that no
oath to the facts stated in the applica-
tion is required by law, and from that
you will at once conclude that any oath
administered to the maker Of such APP
plication is of no effect and that the per
son administering such oath becomes IL
able to prosecution under the provisions
of p. s. 5917."
II is evident from the above that one
of the duties of the next legislature OF
the state will be the amending or &C
tual repeal of the law. That course
hich would seem to be the most salts
factory would be the repeal OF the law
so far as 1t imposes a license registra-
ton on resident hunters of the state OF
Vermont. That section looks like an
extraordinary eurtailment of individual
rights in the first place. Barre Times.

OfneIal Autos Soon.

One of these days Vermont will appre-
ciate the economic benefits possible to
be realized in the public service by the
employment OF automobiles and her Iegis-
lature will make an appropriation prcvid-
ing for motor vehicles for the use OF the
governor, auditor of accounts, highway
commissioner, superintendent OF educa-
ton. commissioner OF agriculture, and
similar officials whose duties require
them to do a great deal OF travelling about
the state. Indeed, the state highway
commissioner is wisely making a great
deal Of use of the automobile today, thus
supervising the details of work in miles
and miles Of road construction that it
would not otherwise be practical for him
to see, and the governor is fortunate to
have a car OF his own which he has de-
voted to the states service and hIs own
official convenience. When these state
officials are given the use of automobiles,
they will cover more territory in a given
time, be independent of railway timeta-
bles, avoid short journeys and layovers at
night when several towns can be visited
in one day, do away with many hotel
bills and in every way all around perform
/ more thorough service in the shortest pc
riod because they can always travel,
night and day, whenever their work in
one place is done.
/ OF course, the proposition that the state
buy a few automobiles is likely to he met
with opposition at first. But not for
long. Vermont farmers ~are sensible
men. They will be running motor cars
themselves before many years.-St. Al
bans Messenger.
