Barnet " as entered by burglars March II,
and jewelry to the value Of $40 was stol-
en-, Entrance was gained through
window on the lower floor. John Cook
and George Menosh were arrested and
lodged in Caledonia county jail to await
hearing to be held within few weeks.
States Attorney Simonds desires to Sc
cure more evidence before the hearing is
held. The men arrested are between 20
and Is years old. Cook claims to live in
North Troy. while Menosh divides his
time between North Troy and Ashland,
N. II. The men were arrested at the
home Of Cooks sister, Mrs. John Vance,
in West Barnet. Cook was working for
Vance and Menosh had been staying
there looking for work. Menosh has
served term in the house Of correction,
being sentenced for connection with liq-
nor case. Two years ago the store was
broken into, 500 to $500 in money and
valuable papers being stolen. There was
no cIew found to the identity Of the
thieves. The place was broken into
again q year ago, but the authorities were
unable to trace the guilty persons.
The principal OF the high school at
Woodstock, Arthur ID. Virgins, resigned
March Is because of disagreement with
the school board over lad expelled for
characterization. For several days there
was no school. The old board of direc-
tors sustained the principal in his action,
but since March meeting a change in the
personnel OF the board took place. The
result was that the boy, who was to have
been permitted to return to school after
the Easter vacation, was to be allowed to
return last week. Mr.. Virgins prompt
" resigned and his friends upheld him
! in his action. Last week Wednesday, g
meeting Of citizens was called and q COM
mittee was appointed to confer with the
school board, with the result that the d.
rectors reconsidered their action. Princi-
pal Virgins was requested to withdraw
/ his resignation, thus ending temporarily,
at least, the troubles that threatened the
educational interests there. L. H. Nor
gan, a new member OF the board, stated
that he did not before understand that
the old board bad once unanimously
agreed to support Principal Wiggin in
the case Of the Ransome boy, otherwise be
would not have cast his vote that precipi.
tated the trouble. The Ransome boy will
be reinstated next term.

The last Legislature authorized the sale
to slaughter houses Of cattle condemned
FOR tuberculosis under regulations for
mulsted by the cattle commissioner, pre-
yiding that such carcasses are inspected
by an agent OF the Bureau of Animal In
dustry OF the United States Department
Of Agriculture, according to the regula-
tions OF that bureau. II is well known
that the federal government passes as
pure food the meat OF tubereulous cattle
only slightly affected, and this act COM
mits Vermont to the same policy. 1t was
for doing just this thing that certain Yer
mont cattle commissioners were indicted
and fined, with great to-do, a few years
since. On the face OF it, 1t would appear
that beef creature condemned as unfit to
live should also be considered unfit for
consumption as food by human beings,
and its carcass put out OF the range OF
mercenary temptation. We don't need a
repetition of the rotten beef scandal oil

The two Vermont Congressman,
Messrs. Foster and Plumley, stood with
the regular Republicans and "Joe" Can
non in the recent House controversy over
the election OF speaker and revision Of
rules. We do not imagine they were
whole-hearted in this position, and we
trust they made clear what is believed to
be their individual views Confronted
with the necessity Of choice between a
regular organization movement not
wholly to their liking and an open rebel
lion even less to their taste, they accepted
the alternative that would probably COM
mend their judgment, in the long run.
But we think that both Of the Vermont
members, were the matter submitted to
the Republicans Of the House for deter
mination, would be found in support Of
such a revision Of the rules as would
+, tend to give that body more authority

WORKING FoR NOTHING AND
BOARDING ONES SELF.

II the state constitution is to be revised
and amended in any particular, as con-
tempIated ty q joint resolution adopted
at the recent session, it appears that il
will have to be done at the cost OF the
private purses of the five members consti-
tuting the commission therein estab-
lished, and whom Governor Prouty has
already named. The assembly struck a
wave of economy here that seemingly de-
serted it altogether when it came to deal
with its own salaries and the mileage
debentures CT its several vacation trips
home.
The resolution-No. 419 in the Public
Acts and Resolves just issued-provides
that "said commission shall receive no
compensation for their services or ex-
penses." 1t is not an uncommon thing
to ask OF such commissions that they
serve without pay, but when it comes to
making them dig down in their jeans to
pay their railroad fares, hotel bills and
other incidental expenses Of task bound
to require many joint meetings and con-
siderable outlay, and whose benefit is g
matter OF state concern altogether, it is
carrying the thing pretty far. We say
''making" them because we are pretty
certain that some Of the members on the
commission did not know when they &C
cepted that they would be required not
only to serve free, but to pay even the
necessary expenses of the commission,
nor are they financially able to do sc
without feeling it materially. Having
accepted, they will doubtless continue
and it is to be hoped that the next gener
al assembly will reimburse them for theil
cash outlay.

1906 VS.. 1908.

Recently, the Bennington Banner pre-
sented an alleged comparison Of the work
done at the legislative sessions OF 1906
and 1905, whereby it was made to appear
that the latter session was a very indus
trious and efficient body, and that it real
ly accomplished enough more than its i'm
mediate predecessor to justify the addi-
tionsl expense to4he state. II time per-
mitted and we thought public interest in
the question warranted, we would like to
go into this matter with the Banner. For
personal reasons, probably neither OF US
is quite disinterested witness, and such
a discussion might prove altogether pro-
ftless to both. However, here are few
facts bearing on the question:
From the printed volumes Of acts and
resolves Of both sessions, it appears that
the general assembly of 1906 passed 457
public and private acts and SO joint reso-
buttons: total of SIG. The assembly OF
1905 passed 1872 public and private acts
and AS joint resolutions; a total of 44O.
The complete work OF the session OF 1906
required 77s printed pages, of which $50
were OF public acts; that OF the session OF
1908 requires 5s4 pages, OF which 200 are
OF public acts. In quantity of work
turned out, the session of 1906 exceeded
that of 1908 by fully % per cent.
The only argument remaining is that
the quality and importance of the acts OF
1906 were very much inferior to those OF
the last session, and of this neither the
Banner nor this paper is competent to
judge. When we consider that the as.
sem5ly OF 1906 was in session but n
days, while that of 1908 lasted rs days,
and that the latter session cost the state
s5s, 1850 more than that of 1906, We are
quite ready to let the comparative merit,
of the two bodies go to the people fol
their Judgment.

Deputy sherlfs' Fees.

To the Editor OF the Free Press:-My
attention has been called to a news item
in your issue OF the 18th inst, from Brat
tleboFo, deputy sheriis may go on
strike"
So far a. the auditing OF the state ac-
counts is concerned, the six cents reading
fee is the only change in tees allowed for
the service OF criminal process. AS sub
poenas are usually served by copy, this
only affects the fee for reading and arrest,
making it so cents instead OF Sc cents.
AS to the 10-cent folio fee. Section
No. 6262 allows officers and persons
whose duty it is to record proceedings or
give copies, seven cents per folio. Sec
ton No. 1873, p. s., allows court report
ers for copies, five cents per folio. Sec
ton 6210, p. s., formerly allowed sher-
ifs and oonstabies 10 cents per folio per
copy. In 1924, II cents was allowed for
"eachm copy. In 1889 this became seven
cents per folio. The revision Of 1880 in
creased this to 10 cents per folio. Dur
ing all this time the fee allowed officers
and persons for recording and giving
copies remained at seven cents per folio.
Why should q reporter furnish q copy
for i've cents, a sheriff or constable 10
cents and town clerk or county clerk
seven cents per folio2 That 10 cents is
too much or five cents per folio not
enough. is matter OF opinion, but GER
tsinly the fee for like service should be
uniform.
In my opinion, sheriffs and constables
are included in the word "officers" in
section No. 6262 and when they are re-
quired to give copy in the service OF a
process they have a right to tax the folio
fee or charge provided for in that section.
/ see from the article that "75 cents has
been the usual charge for the copy OF a
justice writ and 81 for the copy of a
county court writ" In my travels about
the state find that these charges are not
uniform. II anyone will count up the
average justice or county court writ, he
will find that it is not in compliance With
section No. 6210, P. s. II is matter of
custom varying in the different counties.
Having in mind section No. 1862. 1
doubt il any lawyer will object on the
taxation of costs, to the allowance of rs
cents for copies of justice writs and 81 for
copies Of county court writs.

How RaiIroaas Fight Verdlets.

A Jury in Rutland county court Satur-
day returned verdict OF Gil, $50 in the
case of the administrative OF the estate Of
Silas II. Davis against the Rutland rail-
road. 1t is the largest award ever made
in Rutland county court for the death of
a man. The case was tried at the March
term of county court when the plaintiff
was awarded 5000. 1t was taken to the
supreme court on exceptions and remand
ed on an error in the charge. The rail-
road eompany's attorneys have fled num-
erous exceptions and il they cannot sue
coed in having the verdict set aside on
the ground that it was excessive they pro-
pose taking the case to the supreme court
again. II is the same old game of wear
ing out q claimant for damages by see
saving case back and forth between the
county and the supreme courts and much
of the acrimony attached to corporations
in this country is due to this practice and
the success attained in it. In the case at
issue a runaway car collided with loco
motive and killed the engineer. The
dead man rceItainly could not have been
at fault and two juries have returned YER
diets convicting the company of negIi-
gence. Why should the corporation be
given further opportunity to dodge its re-
sponsibility Banner.

A feature of the new tariff bill is the
proposition.for direct inheritance tax,
graduated upward. New York and other
states have recently adopted such tax,
which proves a valuable source Of rev
enue. II the federal government levies q
similar tax, there may be either double
taxation of estates or a clash of'authority.
The states will make hard fight before
they will give up one OF the few promis-
ing sources Of indirect revenue that re-
mains to be drawn upon. Such a tax in
Vermont, for instance, with the rapidly
growing expenses of government, would
be a very easy way to avoid direct state
tax.
