FISH AND GAME LAWS.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE one 545St
in the belief of most of the local fish
ermen will result in much better
fishing through the season ana will do
away with the slaughter on the first
day. Outside of this county the STA
son will be from May to August Is.
The only change in the law winch
became operative at once was the bill
allowing fishing through the ice. Lo-
cal fishermen began to go as soon as
they knew Of the change and others
have stayed at home simply because
they were not sure of the passage of
the bill
Fishing through the ice is allowed
only on those ponls which are not
stocked with trout or lake trout and
the limit is Is tip-ups to fisherman.
Shooting of @pickerel is also allowed
from March Is to may 10. ASIDE from
these three Mr.. Frost has not been
informed of any changes and will act
on the presumption unaI otherwise. the
laws are the same as formerly.
Another important bill passed blythe
legislature was in regard to hunters
licenses. After much passing hack
and forth between the house and the
senate it was finally passed, providing
that every man who hunts shall :. take
out license, the fee being so cents
1t man is to hunt on his own lant
only. the license is not required. Ont
license covers hunting with all kinds
of guns and rifles.

Cut Down the Number of Legislators

Cut Down the Number of Legislators. |
The people of Vermont are beg inning
to realize that the only way to prevent
our legislature from growing enor-
mously expensive is to cut down the
number of legislators. The recent
session cost the people no less than
$4,000 more, the compensation and
requisites Of its members alone, to
say nothing Of the increased appropria-
tions, the total having been $135, 600
as compared with only $50. 900, two
years previous. At present rate Of
expansion of legislative expense it
will be only short time before it will
cost the people of Vermont $500, 900
for every legislative session in addition
to the ever increasing sums demanded
| for special appropriations.
The session of the legislature Just
closed has prepared the wayas never be-
fore for victorious movement for econ
omy and Legislative reform, and unless
we mistake the temper of the people.
such move will be one of the feat
ures of the state campaign in 1910.
The surest way to bring about this
reform is to reduce the number of leg
islators in the house of representa-
tlves, leaving the senate numerically
as at present. The great state of New
York has reduced its representation in
the lower branch. Of the Legislature to
$50 members, and Vermont could well
get along with less, and at the same
time increase the efficiency of that
. body. This reform can be consummat
| ed without taking away the balance
of power from the smaller towns, as
moments consideration will show. /
l was demonstrated last September, fol
example, that the votes of the smalle
! towns could take away representa-
' tive from Burlington in the senate, i
D they co-opeeated at the polls; and tn,
same thing would be true if represen
5 tatives were elected by districts in
tead of by towns. This would be still
truer Of other counties having small
Ter cities or no cities at ali. Were tn
f district system to prevail the small
j. towns would still control the legisla
: ture. On the other hand reductio
e of the number of members in the hous
a from 246 to 146 could save the ex
n pense of 100 legislators or from $50, 90
e to $4,000 according to the length Q
s session and the standard of legislator
J. secured would be raised, as shown b
e the experience of every other stat
f which has changed from the town t
the district system of legislative repre-
: sentation. II there is any good reaso
: why this reform and measure of econ
e omy should not be instituted by tn
{ people OF Vermont at the very frs
7 opportunity, we would like to see
Y advanced. Burlington Free Press.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

ltEis said that one Rutland county
member of the late Legislature went
to the depot Monday to take the train
for Montpelier. Force OF long habit is
strong Rutland News.
Zed Stanton has had occasion to
thank his lucky star many times, of
late. that he was steered away from the
Sovernorship IF Vermont. His escape
was mighty close and now that the
big grab box is closed his friends are
congratulating him that he was not in
the mix-up at Montpelier. Elevation
to the bench is a whole lot better than
being afflicted with the sins and Short
comings of a lot OF pretended law
makers. -Swanton Courier.
When a newspaper was started in
Barnet few months since The St.
Adams Messenger remarked inciden-
tally that there was no room for an
other local paper in that section or
something to that effect. Whereupon
the new Barnet editor used words CAL
culated to scorch the hair off the St.
Adams editors pet dog two pet dogs
if he had them. An advertisement in
a trade journal last week announced
a weekly paper LII SAFE anu the DOSt
office address, was Barnet. The state.
ment that there are enough newspa.
pers in Vermont to meet all require.
ments is a pretty safe one. -Northfielc
News.
The decision of the Vermont gu
preme court in the telephone case
from Orleans county leaves the mat
ter more tangled than ever. TIL,
validity of the act of 1906, requirin,
railroad companies to install at thei
stations telephone instruments of al
companies desiring such connection
provided they are of certain proper
tions, without discrimination in favo
of any one company-the validit,
of this act does not seem to hav,
been passed upon. The court simpl,
says that in the particular instance OF
which the suit was based there wa
no refusal or discrimination on tn
part of the railroad. so as to consti
tute an offense under the statute. I
is too bad that square test Of tn
law and Interpretation thereof coul
not have resulted from this long an
expensive litigation. -Randolph Her

program Of the tercententary celebra-
ion. Word has been received from
Congressman D. j. Foster that it is
very likely the bill will pass Congress
appropriating a sum of money for the
purpose of inviting and entertaining
foreign and national guests, with a
smaller appropriation, however, than
the amount asked by Secretary Elihu
Root. In connection with the general
church observances Sunday, July 4,
when Burlington plans to erect an
amphitheatre on Battery park where
services will be held under the super
vision of the Catholic clergy of Bur-
lington, a committee has already met
the Rt. Rev. J. M. Cloarec, who has
chosen list of Catholic church digni-
taries to be invited. among them being
| Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishops O'Con-
nell and Ireland, the archbishop of
Quebec and Montreal. and bishop OF
| Ogdensburg and Ottawa.
